Copyright symbol and metadata template question

In Bridge CS6 I have placed the copyright symbol, year and my name in the "Copyright Notice" section of a metadata template. Chosen "Copyrighted" in the "Copyright Status" section. And listed the terms in the "Right, Usage, Terms" section. When I apply the template everything appears except that in the "Copyright Notice" section only my name shows. No copyright symbol or year.
What am I doing wrong? Am I putting the information in the correct places? (I have done it this way before using Lightroom, and it worked fine.)

Sorry! User error. The copyright info I programmed in my camera was over riding the Bridge template. Duh. The template is working perfectly.

Scripting and metadata field question

I'm trying to set up a subscription response, that is triggered on a check box which adds all of a FCP project's element's Master Assests to it's member productions. I.E. FCP project "A" which contains elements 1,2&3 and resides in Production "Z", will have the master assets 1,2&3 added to production Z when metadata field "Add Assests" is checked.
My questions are these:
1) How do I create a metadata field with just a check box (this a very basic questions, but so far I've only been able to get a "TRUE/FALSE" boolean, which works, but isn't as nice as a check box.
2) My approach to accomplishing this is a bit more convoluted than I think is necessary, it is thus:
-Use subscription to write XML.
-get AssetID for Project from XML
-Use fcsvr_client listparentlinks /Asset/ID(from above) | grep out the element ids
-use fcsvr_client listchildlinks /element/ID(from above) --linktype 12 | grep out the Asset ID for each of the elements listed in step 3
-use fcsvr_client listchildlinks /Asset/ID(of origional FCP project) --linktype 1 | grep put the project ID for each of the member projects
-use fcsvr_client make_link --linktype 1 /project/(ID from above) /asset/(each of the master assets for each element in FCP project)
Is this the best approach? Can I add multile assests in one command on the last one? Has anyone already scripted this? Am I missing some automated way to do this in FCSvr already.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

As to the question of if anyone has scripted this already, I have created a script which pulls all of the element metadata and places it in the associated assets of a Final Cut Pro project. You can check out the video that shows this in detail on the MacHarmony website. To be able to add the assets to a production would be a fairly easy step. The way you are going about it sounds like it should work just fine. We actually go direct to the postgres to improve performance and simplify the creation of tasks such as this, but the WriteXMLs should give you what you need as well.

Title and Credit template question

Is it possible to create a "master" title/credit template, so that when a change is made to the master, it's reflected in all the titles/credits upon which it's based? I have a project with 16 clips, each with a title and a credit. I'd like not to have to edit each title block when I need to make a change. Thanks. ~Bond

There is no CSS-type functionality in Premiere Pro. But it would make a great addition to the program.

How do i enter a copyright symbol when editing an Adobe form?

I'm trying to create a survey form using one of Adobe's templates. However, when I enter the main title i need to add a copyright symbol and I can't find any reference to special characters or symbols.

Hi Daniel ,
I would suggest you to download a specific copy right symbol from the web and you can paste it on the PDF at a desired location .
You can perform the suitable editing on that icon in with the help of Acrobat Tools.
Try this and see if this works for you.

OK. I have a copyright question. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on each of my photos to protect them from being stolen ? I'm referring to photos of paintings here. What is to stop readers of the iBook from using the photos?

Ok, I have a question concerning copright. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on every image I use- I'm refering to photos of paintings here. What is to stop readers of the ibook from using my images? They are all my own photos.

You do not HAVE to put a © symbol on each photo. If you own the photos, you hold the copyright. However, nothing stops a viewer from downloading the photo and using it without your permission.
To protect yourself there are alternatives: put a ©2013 by ME in the description of each photo. Always add your copyright notice to the metadata in every photo.
I once had several of my photos taken off the internet and then used in a commercial catalog without my permission. I was outraged, the catalog company was naive, and in the end I received $100 compensation and an apology. - Fabini

Lightroom export and copyright symbol

Why copyright symbol © from my metadata preset looks like (c) in the properties menu of the file after exporting photo? ( I can see this (c) in the properties menu- summary of the file)
I'm using Lightroom 3.2. and Windows XP.
Thanks.

EXIF only allows for ASCII-encoded 7-bit NULL-terminated strings, so the © symbol cannot be represented. So LR needs to change it to *something*. It is debatable if the (c) is the right thing to change to, as the US Copyright office only seems to recognize the symbol © or the English word "Copyright". Other countries may vary.

XMP metadata is not accepting the copyright symbol

While using the ModifyXMP method to append the metadata with some custom text data, it is found that, if the custom text data is having copyright symbol, metadata modification fails. Error can be caught as, 'Invalid UTF-8 sequence length'.
How to have the copyright symbol added in the XMP metadata?

Hi Patton,
   Could you try the following code to add dc:rights value (© adbe)
char xmpStr[] = { 0xc2, 0xa9, 0x20, 'a', 'd', 'b', 'e', 0x00 };
   meta.SetProperty(kXMP_NS_DC, "rights", xmpStr, 0);
   And please modify the xmpStr[] for your own text.

Metadata template created in Bridge can't change "Copyright Status" property

If I create a metadata template in Bridge CS4, select Copyright Status and set it to Copyrighted,
any other metadata changes in the template will be applied, but "Copyright Status won't change.
I can't even manually set the Copyright Status from within Bridge. If I try, I get an error message,
"This property cannot be modified."
Here's the workaround — create the template in Photoshop or Illustrator, not Bridge.
Open one of the images in Photoshop or Illustrator, select File Info, enter the metadata,
and select Export. The resulting template will be available in Bridge,
and it can change the Copyright Status.
A fix for this in the next incarnation of Bridge would be greatly appreciated.

As with almost all my problems, there is apparently no solution, so I am going to try reinstalling photoshop. So can someone at least tell me what is likely to be overwritten so that I can protect it. And where they are stored? EG Web Gallery templates? Keywords?

Quiz Template Guru Needed: 1) Target Symbols from Drag&Drop questions persist on subsequent questions!??

I've been finding some anomalies when testing the movie, for
instance the question regarding the BA degree keeps telling me the
answer marked correct in the Component Inspector (# 6 American
Urban) is incorrect; other times it seems one question contains
part of another question's graphics, though I have scrupulously
made sure there is no overlap frame by frame.
I need someone with experience in quiz templates to go
through this until you find anomalies like those mentioned above,
and let me know if you have any idea what's causing them.
You can download the .fla at
http://mywebniche.com/test/FrontDeskTest.zip
The test can be seen at
http://mywebniche.com/test/FrontDeskTest1.html
[Note: The Name Field's actionscript is also not working.
When you enter your name on the first frame, it should appear on
the results page -- doesn't. Any idea what's wrong there?]
This is a real project and I really need help getting it bug
free.
Thanks.

I have the solution. It is a bug in Flash for which I got
them to find a workaround.
If you ask me they don't spend nearly enought time/energy on
Flash in education, particularly the quizzes, which have so many
limitations and are lacking so many obviously needed features.
I'll post their workaround below, but I want you, and all who
read it to contact their feedback/wishlist for Flash and complain
about their Quizzes getting short shrift. Features badly needed
are:
- Ability to randomize AND require certain questions to
always appear.
- options to enter name and have it appear on Results Page
along with date and number of times the quiz has been re-taken.
- the ability to have multiple true/false questions
- better documentation on how to customize the template
graphics and how to use original graphics
- fix the drag & drop component permanently -- this is
arguably the most useful question format of them all !
- ability to save customized components -- as component
templates
- anything else you can think of that I haven't included here
Here's the fix:
1) in your movie, locate an instance of the Drag and Drop
Interaction component and select it.
2) Select Edit Symbols from the file menu (Edit > Edit
Symbols) to edit the symbol
3) The middle layer should be the Actions Layer. Select
frame 1 in that Actions layer and open the Actions panel
4) Scroll to the bottom of the script and find the
this.onUnload function located there.
5) Use your mouse and highlight the contents of that
function, not including the function name, and copy it. You
should have copied the following script:
var clearLast =
_parent.SessionArray[_parent.session].drag_objects;
var len = clearLast.length;
for(var i=0; i<len; i++){
_parent[clearLast
].removeMovieClip();
6) Return to the very top of the script and paste a copy of
this script there prior to the comment stating:
/*--------------VERSION CONTROL
INFORMATION----------------------
Note: You may need to make some room for the new script.
What this should do is ensure that the unload script is
called immediately upon the loading of a new drag and drop
interaction component clearing any prior objects used in the one
before it.Â This was not happening appropriately before
which is what was causing those dragged objects to remain on the
screen.

Please make "Copyright Status" an editable option in creating metadata templates

I'm new to the Adobe eLearning suite, including Bridge CS4. I've found a workaround in the forums for this issue already, but I really think this is something that Adobe should fix in the Bridge software itself. Apologies if someone else has already posted this as a feature request in this forum, but as it seems I'm unable to search within just this forum, I gave up looking.
In a nutshell: "Copyright Status" should be a field available when choosing what IPTC Core metadata to include in a new metadata template. And it's also not an editable field when looking at the metadata for an image! The whole point of metadata templates is to make it unnecessary to edit a single field (like "Copyright Status") one image at a time. Yet even with the new Bridge CS4, the Copyright Status field is not an option you can include in a new metadata template. Surely it wouldn't be that big a deal to make the 3-item pick list of "Unknown," "Copyrighted" and "Public Domain" available on the Create Metadata Template checklist. Or if having a pick list is too tricky to code on that form and it must be just a checkbox item, do that, and let us populate the text in the field ourselves.
Currently, it's necessary to tweak the metadata on a single image to include the "Copyrighted" status, then Export it and save it as a new metadata template, just to have that one field populated by default. Supplying copyright status as part of a template is a fundamental need for anyone creating or dealing with large numbers of images, and it shouldn't require a workaround to create a properly inclusive metadata template.
Thanks!

In Bridge CS4, highlight your thumbnail, go to the File Menu and select File and then File Info. There you will be able to choose your Copyright Status under the Description tab. What a pain in the butt! Mine kept coming up "Public Domain!"

How can I transfer the metadata templates and keywords from one computer to another? Working on a new iMac CS6?

I've just changed computers and upgraded to CS6. I am trying to import my Bridge metadata templates and keywords. I had done this once before but I can not remember the procedure for doing this. I have created a lot of templates and do not want to do this all over again. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Kevin

komphoto,
The keywords file is buried deep inside the INVISIBLE user Library, or "~Library" (that's a tilde before the word Library, which designates the User Library, a.k.a, the Home Folder Library).
In order to make it visible temporarily, you have to go to the Finder, then go to the "Go" menu and select the "Go To Folder…" menu item, and type ~Library in the text field.
That will open a new Finder window which will be grayed out to indicate that it's normally hidden. From there you can follow the path:
Note that I'm not saying this will work. I have never done it myself. I'm just trying to clear up the confusion caused by the previous poster.

Where do the XMP metadata templates and keywords files go WIN XP?

I've just changed computers and upgraded to CS6. I am trying to import my Bridge metadata templates and keywords. I have the files from the old computer but I don't know where to put them on the new computer. The same folder structure where I found them (documents and settings/username/AppData/Adobe/BridgeCS5) does not exist on my new computer after installation of CS6. I tried pasting them in the program files folder for CS6, but this didn't work. I am using Windows XP. Thanks in advance.

I tried pasting them in the program files folder for CS6, but this didn't work.
Not familiair with Windows but on a Mac the path you show is still the same. Did you already used Bridge once?
Quickest way I can think of is putting the files on your desktop and from Bridge metadata and keyword panel use the little menu icon top right of the panel and choose import settings. Find and select both settings and you should be OK.

After restart i see flashing between old classic symbol and question mark

hi,
i just shut down my g4 ibook by holding down the power button as it had frozen. when i done that i wiped the keyboard with a cloth. when it restarted i get a small symbol (a square 2-tone blue face, not sure if it's the classic 9 symbol) and a question mark flashing in the middle of my screen.
how can i restart my machine normally please?

Hi John,
Flashing question mark when starting up can mean several things. One, your iBook can't locate a System Folder to boot from or the hard disk is failing.
Try starting up while holding down the Option key. That normally would prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select your startup disk.
If that doesn't help, ditto for Niel's suggestion.
More help when you see a A flashing question mark appear when you start your Mac

Symbols? I need TM and copyright symbols. Where are they?

I ame using webfont Annie Get Your Telescope. It does not show any symbols. How do I add Trademark and Copyright symbols into text used in Muse?
I there any html I need to add? I'm NOT a coder, so I don't even know where to put anything, except in Page Properties head. Anybody know??

I am a newbie, but I think I have a better answer. In the text frame, with the cursor where you want the symbol located, Just hold down the Alt key, and on the keypad (not the numbers along the top of the keyboard) enter 0153 and release the Alt key. The TM symbol will be entered as a character. Do the same for the copyright symbol (Alt 0169). I think this is MUCH better than the Symbols Lite widget which requires annoying and difficult positioning and repositioning if you modify the text the symbol is being applied to.
Another way is to just copy the symbol from any web page or document that uses the symbol, and paste into your text frame. It is then treated like any other character. You can display the character set for the font family you are using, or select a different font family with one that specializes in symbols.
Either approach is very easy to use, and much more usable than the Symbol Lite widget, it makes me wonder why anyone would use it. Also, It allows you to use many more symbols than the Widget provides.
Perhaps I am overlooking something?

How can I integrate metadata and keywords in Lightroom with those in Photoshop, Bridge, and Photoshop Elements? In other words, is there a way to retrieve common metadata templates from all modules? Thanks!

Keyword and Metadata Integration throughout Adobe Modules

Thanks! That's helpful.
What I mean by "common metadata", is a unified, updated, most current metadata, which I could update in each program. That is without overwriting the metadata, but appending new keywords to the metadata I created in the previous program.
I use Bridge, then Lightroom and finally Photoshop. That's the regular workflow: Bridge for preliminary sorting and and adding some keywords; Lightroom for organizing and picking the best images; finally, Photoshop for processing. I got Photoshop Elements on trial. Doesn't work for my purposes.
I need to share and update the metadata / keywords when I go from one program into another. Can't retrieve metadata I set up in Bridge into Lightroom. Same happens with Photoshop, where I can't retrieve keywords I add in Lightroom. It's tedious to write up the keywords again.
Thanks for your efforts!
