Creating/importing text that doesn't pixelate

Hello -
I am having to create and import files from Keynote or Powerpoint into iMovie and even when importing at full quality the text seems to pixelate and becomes fuzzy... Any ideas on how to create text (whether in mattes or as files described above) that will appear sharp and crisp? Appreciate any and all ideas. (I can't rely soley on iMovie titling capabilities - I need to have Chinese on screen as well and, well it's complicated

Some of your troubles could be solved with QuickTime Pro (or the expensive Final Cut apps) if your files are to be distributed from the Internet and displayed on computers.
QuickTime Pro can import text files and do lots of tricks with timing, scaling, positioning and fonts.
QuickTime text tracks are "vector" based so they scale up to any dimension without losing quality. They are tiny in file size so they add next to nothing to your video. Two of mine as examples:

Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

Something like this?
That was from a project I did a few months ago. Sounds similar to what you want. I did that in After Effects.
Basically all I did was add a glow effect to the text and messed around with the glow parameters. The black smoke is animated and moves on the actual video and is basically some pre keyed smoke footage that I had. The smoke was originally gray but black looked cooler.
I'd say it's pretty close to your hot branding iron thing.

Can I create a form that doesn't trigger Acrobat's JavaScript disabled / security issues warning?

Hello,
Can I create a pdf that doesn't trigger Acrobat's JavaScript is currently disabled and this document uses it for some features. Enabling JavaScript can lead to potential security issues.
I even get this error when I create a blank pdf.
I'm not using any JavaScript in the form and the nature of the message might tend to be a bit scary to some people since it mentions enabling JS can lead to potential security issues. I basically want to disable the messaging of a feature I'm not even using.
Anyone know if this is possible and if so, how I go about it?
Thank you.

Hi,
I too share your frustration!!
Unfortunately I do not have a complete answer for you.
From the start I must say that Stefan Cameron has been very helpful (http://forms.stefcameron.com/2010/01/14/acrobatreader-9-3-now-available/), however I have not had sufficient time available to deal with the issue (or find a satisfactory resolution).
The original post that Srini shared with you related to an XFA form that had FormCalc and Javascript in it. I will now share with you another situation that is closer to your experiences.
Sometimes where we have a complex solution/form, we often give our users a PDF with instructions and demonstrations. We generate these using Adobe products:
LiveCycle Designer ES to generate the solution/form;
Captivate to record the demonstration (.swf);
Acrobat to package it up in a static PDF.
The screen shots below are from a PDF that includes written instructions and six Flash (.swf) files. The PDF does NOT include fields/form objects and does NOT include any FormCalc or Javascript.
One of the big sells in Acrobat 9 was that Adobe had fully integrated Flash (Adobe product, ex. Macromedia) into Acrobat 9. This mean that .swf files could run natively inside a PDF. Brilliant!!! The website today is still pushing this message, for example:
Now bear in mind that the following screenshots are from a PDF that does not contain any scripting - its sole purpose is to "inform" the user, "look as good as the work I put into it", incorporate instruction and "multimedia" in a "single polished file" and I should be "confident that my audience will be able to view my work exactly as intended".
Not so!!
When the user now opens the form, all looks OK. No warning. They can read the instructions and scroll down to the multimedia (.swf files).
However when the user clicks on the multimedia, the yellow bar appears:
I go through the "trust" process:
And the PDF looks like it is OK, no yellow bar. When I click on the multimedia, it begins to play - yes!! BUT ONLY FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN IT STOPS AND GOES BACK TO THE START - AGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!. I would apologise for shouting, but this is beyond frustration. The work in capturing six screencasts in Captivate, annotating them, publishing to .swf and packaging up in Acrobat has been a complete waste of time. Worse than that I now have several PDFs out there, that do not work. Good advertisement for my business? I don't think so!!
The document that Stefan provided (Managing JavaScript Execution in the Acrobat Family of Products) does not mention Flash/.swf as being a problem. However I would recommend that you go through this document, as it may help you.
So, where to now? I don't know. The previous posts and Stefan's responses have several urls that may help. You should maybe consider logging your experiences as a bug (log at Adobe).
In the meantime good luck,
Niall
UPDATE:
This behaviour (.swf playing for only a few seconds) happens in PDFs where the .swf is inserted as legacy media to run in earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader. In this case Acrobat/Reader is making an external call to Flash Player. Hence the yellow bar. However it does not explain why the Flash video still does not play when trusted.
If the .swf is added into the PDF as Flash media to run on Acrobat 9 and above, then it works without displaying the yellow warning bar.
So maybe any feature of your PDF that calls an external resource is likely to show the yellow warning bar.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.

Question: How to create a text that scrolls on touch imputs

I'm realy new to anything dealing with flash. I'm trying to make an app that contains alot of information under several different sub catagories. i dont want a simple page app where you do the ( next ) page button. I want the app to scroll the text up and down based on touch gestures. The problem is with my lack of experience with flash I don't know the codes that i should use to achieve this concept.
if some one could show me a code that would work for this i would be greatly appriciative.
Again I'm looking for a code that I can apply to a text box that will allow for it to be scrolled up and down using a touch gesture. The action snipets that i have been using for most everyting els dosn't seem to have a touch gesture that is complete enough for me to use in this way.

var m,b:Number;
paramF(10,0,tf.height-10,tf.maxScrollV);
tf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, downF);
tf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, upF);
function downF(e:MouseEvent):void{
    this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,tfF);
function upF(e:MouseEvent):void{
    this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,tfF);
function tfF(e:Event):void{
    tf.scrollV = Math.min(tf.maxScrollV,Math.max(0,Math.round(m*tf.mouseY+b)));
function paramF(x1:Number,y1:Number,x2:Number,y2:Number):void{
    m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2);
    b = y1-m*x1;

Can I create a footer that doesn't move with a scrolling layout?

I'm making a book that has horizontal and vertical layouts, and I'd love to make a footer that stays put while the content scrolls. Is that possible?
----S

Having taken almost an hour using my primitive Aussie download speed Broadband, to download the 1gig plus book...and expecting some supa dupa new gizmo..... Its a great example of using the power of iBA coupled together with a full understanding of how to use the built in options and facilities.
Apart from certain things which I personally don't like ( six mini sized videos on a white page ) it is a masterclass worth downloading by anybody wanting to have a reference work at hand. It is free and basically from what I see, its a brochure for a company.
The virtical scrolling pages are...... just that and available to anybody using iBA and a LS template and wanting vertical scrolling - which I think is pointless , but hey....
Basically, you create in LS and edit in Portrait.
A comment in the book was .. " I took my staff to a beer tasting....."
"My Staff", to me suggest the book is a studio product
Use the Orientation icons top menu to see your page in either modes.
I suggest you open a template and use it as a test book.... I keep one all the time and its now full or trials and tests! OR, duplicate your book and play with the copy, it saves heartache when it goes wrong!
Again my disclaimer.... most people do not like turning the iPad around and as books made with iBA are not usable on other devices, I see no point in having basically duplicate content seen in porttrait or LS.....after all, you do not keep grabbing your flatescreen TV and turning it vertical , or expecting a cinema screen to rotate...
Have some more fun......

Bottom layer that scrolls, but a top layer of text that doesn't?

Hi all,
Only just getting the hang of dreamweaver at the moment and in need of some help.
I would like to be able to have text on screen that wouldn't scroll when scrolling down the page. This would mean that when the page is scrolled content behind text only scrolls.
I have found a web site by a graphic design agency 'the international office' that does exactly what I'm looking for but I really don't know how they have done it.
here is the link http://the-international-office.com/
I was hoping somebody could help
thanks,
minor_threat.

Probably because this approach isn't reliable in all browsers without conditional comments or hacks. The following code works in most modern browsers but fails in IE6. I'll let you figure out the hacks on your own.

How to create a text tag that shows up in a file but not on the sceen.

I need some help, I'm a newbie with enough skill to be dangerous. If someone can point me in the right direction has to how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible
in a text editor but not the text file. That would be great. If you wish to show some code examples that's OK, but if not I can stumble through and learn while doing it from your directions on how to get it done.
I will start with an example of what I'm trying to do; using the old desktop pub program Ventura. They had (what I'm calling a tag) tags in from of ASCII text in a file to tell the program what it was and what to do with it, I. E.; "Title@this
is the title text" the next line could be "Body@this is body text". When loaded the "Title@" would not be there on the screen.
I'm trying to create some text that uses a similar concept but not for formatting of text like Ventura.
I want to be able to highlight some text in an editor and then have it place some sort of tag for the highlighted text so that I could use it to do something upon that text and only that text; in concept the text "Bob Brush was a painter." I would
highlight Bob Brush and somehow assign a tag that would be "name" and then highlight "painter" and be tagged with "job".
The text file would then have something in it to distinguish "Bob Brush" and "painter" as what each is name and job. (as a note I'm not trying to make a database or form just using this simplified concept to get my idea across
because I get to wordy).
Thanks in advance BK

Hi bik,
>> how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible in a text editor but not the text file.
It is unclear to me. Like you mentioned F keys, how does it work for? And Could you show us some code with a simple sample or a capture? It could be better to help us understand more.
In addition, I found a related thread

Can anybody give me somne ideas or links to videos where I can ssee how is done?
Thnak tyou

click on the text symbol and create static text that you want to animate. when finished, right click the text and click convert to symbol/movieclip. then use the timeline to motion tween and alpha tween your movieclip.

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.

Dynamically created text field doesn't appear when imported

Greetings,
I have 2 issues regarding dynamically created text fields.
What I'm trying to do is to create a text field inside a swf file,
then import that swf into another file. The main problem is, the
text field is created and displayed perfectly when i execute the
first swf, but when i try to import the whole thing into another
file, the text is not displayed.
I have to point out that, when I add "stage" before the
addChildAt command, the text appears, but I don't want the
coordinates of the text box depending on it's location on the
stage.
The second problem is, I want the scroll buttons to appear if
the text is longer than the text box, however they appear no matter
what. I trace the values and they are correct, so I can't really
understand why they keep appearing.
Thank you very much for your help.

The same thing is happening to me and it is starting to get annoying. I too am using Chrome and I think that might just be part of the issue. I am running a Macbook Pro 2010 13". Any insight on this would be helpful. Sorry I don't have a solution, but know that your not alone in dealing eith this issue.

Why an imported SWF created in Flash CS5 doesn't works fine?

perhaps I am not lucky. I find no answer.. perhaps im a noob (daaaah) please if you can help it would be appreciated!
I'm new in flash and flash catalyst.. but i'm not bad at all hehe. After publishing a swf from flash CS5 (that works perfect when i preview it) i want to import it in flash catalyst...
... i click on import swf and i select my swf. When i execute the project (CTRL+ENTER) in flash catalyst the motion tweens created in Adobe Flash doesn't start
Even if it works well when i run the SWF from desktop or in Adobe Flash directly

A detail that could help you guys..
I used FlashEFF2 in Adobe Flash CS5 (as a Text Effect (it's awesome)) and this effect only starts and works fine in Flash Catalyst. The motions tweens created in Adobe Flash CS5 doesn't starts in Flash Catalyst
Thanks to read it!

What is the best way to import a graphic? & How do I create a text frame for a figure caption?

Hello all! I've been working from the FM book for almost 2 hrs trying to figure this out, so now I need your help. I am almost to this point:
Problem I: Importing a graphic
First of all, which is the best way?
-Insert an anchor frame and then import the graphic into the frame OR
-Just insert the graphic and get the anchor frame by default
Here’s my importing and sizing problem:
I hit ENTER to make a new paragraph line (side note: the book says make a new paragraph by hitting ENTER, import the graphic, and then ESC m+p to shrink wrap so that you can avoid the graphic overlapping the above text. I do exactly this (I believe), but my graphic still overlaps the above text when I shrink wrap. What the...?)
I insert an anchored frame with position Below Current Line and alignment CENTER (I chose to the insert anchor frame, since this way I have control over its alignment, correct?)
Anchor frame is selected when I import my image file
In the Imported Graphic Scaling box, what do I select if my file is HUGE (3072x2304)?
-Fit in selected rectangle (when I choose this the image imports small and fits in the anchored frame with lots of white space around it)
-72 dpi
-75 dpi
-150 dpi
-300 dpi
-Custom dpi: 96 (I’ve tried changing this to a smaller number (20) and I get a message that says “cannot handle a bitmap of that size.”)
I’ve had the best luck with selecting FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, and then I just scale the image with my shift+click. If I choose 72 dpi or Custom, my image imports HUGE, and I just can’t manage it. I don’t have a method for resizing these images outside of FM.
Problem II: Creating a text frame for a caption
Once I have chosen FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, I try to insert a text box underneath the image (and inside the anchor frame) to type a caption in it.
In Create New Text Frame box, the default is Number 1 and Gap 0.25. I click SET.
Next, I double-click inside the text frame to begin typing, but the cursor is OUTSIDE and UNDERNEATH the text frame! What the heck??? I’ve done this before and it has worked just fine. Then I had another problem where when I did get the text inside the text frame, I would select the text frame to move it, and it left the text behind! (I moved the frame but the text was separated from it and left behind.)
THANK YOU in advance for your help. I hope I wrote this out clearly enough. I appreciate those who respond. P.S. I'm in FM 10.

My favorite method is to use a one-cell table for graphics and captions.
Import the graphic by reference into the table cell. Create a "Caption"
paragraph tag and assign it to the table title. (The title can be set
for above or below the table cell. I prefer below.) Now, whenever you
insert this table, it will be ready for graphic and caption. Another
advantage of this method is that graphic and caption always stay
together at page/column breaks.
When you create the table format above, assign it to have a -2.0 space
above. Then, create a paragraph tag, such as "TableAnchor" and assign it
-2.0 pt font size and -2.0 space below. (You can substitute a different
point size, but it must be the same in all three places. The TableAnchor
paragraph will hold the table and these settings let tables fit against
the top margin where necessary. Otherwise, they dip down a bit.
I wrote this from memory, so I hope I remembered all the steps!

How do i create a website that allows customer to upload images and text?

I need some help i have a friend who has asked me if i can create a website that allows them to upload their own images and text at their leisure.
His company is in the car sales trade so they need to regularly be updating their stock, and this needs to be done by somebody with limited computer knowledge so ease of use is fairly important.
I am using dreamweaver cs4 on a G5 Imac running Snow leopard 10.6.8, my skills are limited to creating uncomplicated websites but i am very keen to learn, i am aware of content management systems such as Druplal but have zero knowledge on how to use these.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Although putting together a form that would upload images and all the descriptions required seems like a fairly straghtforward project, depending on your current skill set.
