Creative question. Alternative to film grain for my render?

Hi I'm new to AE but have learnt the basics. I've recently done renders for a project but then at the end figured out that youtube can't create good video at 640x360 so I'm currently rendering my entire 8 minute movie again into 1280x720. Problem is that it doesn't quite hold up as well, looks a bit flat. So I'm wanting to disguise that a bit by overlaying some texture into my scenes to make them more stylistic. The standard film grain tutorials I see often look a bit too cliche if you know what I mean? I want something more subtle and something that will work for 8 minutes worth of footage. Something to break up the image a bit but more than just some noise overlayed on top. The mood of the film is dark, vintage, creepy so I can get away with quite a lot. Does anyone have any ideas? If you click on the image for full 1280x720 you''ll notice that I already have some texture just from having a low sample rate, I sort of like it, as a base at least.

You can overlay all sorts of textures using blending modes from coffee stains to rust textures.

Is is possible to use creative cloud as a shared volume for collaboration between incopy & indesign?

I'm a designer student and as a designer, I constantly have to make decks for presentations. I typically work in a group of six and because I'm confident with graphic design, I tend to be the leader of these tasks. I've found the best workflow for slide creation is Indesign. Unfortunatly, I'm just an awful writer— so when I heard about Incopy's collabrative features(saw the post from indesign's facebook page) I saw oppertunity and got very excited. My teamates and I typically all have subscriptions to adobe cc because of this, I was wondering (since I havent used it at all) if the storage given out from adobe cc was able to be that shared volume that is required for the live link between incopy stories and indesign layouts.
Therefore,
Is is possible to use creative cloud as a shared volume for collaboration between Incopy & Indesign?
If this needs any further clarification I'll gladly write a more detailed question — lastly, if this is not possible might you suggest an alternative? Please assume that we go to school together but we work offsite also.

You will not be able to use the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files for collaboration in this way. But you can share individual files in this way.
When folder sharing is available this will be possible.

Can you give me some color correction/film grain suggestions?

Hey guys, I have CS3 and an Intel Q9550 @ 3.4 Ghz PC set up. I am working on an HDV project. My files are .m2t files brought in through HDV Split. Anyway, below are the main four shots of the Teaser Trailer I just captured. I have After Effects and can probably get my hands on Combustion or Magic Bullet, but I'd rather do everything in Premiere Pro. What suggestions do you have in regards to color correction and film grain? You can use the images if you want to mess around in Photoshop with to show me examples if you need to. THANKS!!!

For "film grain," I assume that you wish to ADD it. If so, Jim has nailed it.
If you wish to remove it from, say an underlite, underexposed Clip, then Neat Video is the tool for that.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to re-install Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium for the PC?

Two years ago I purchased Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium for the PC. My system crashed and the discs are gone. Where can I purchase replacement discs, or is there an alternative?

If you still have your serial/activation, you can download it here: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html and then use your old activation info.
If you don't have them, and you registered your product with Adobe, you should be able to log in to the Adobe site and recover them under Plans & Products.
Adobe will only replace current version media: Obtain replacement CDs, DVDs, manuals
If you don't have the serial/activation and you never registered your copy, I'm pretty sure you're stuck with buying DWCS6 or subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

Message to Creative. Release your RC3 driver for your own car

I find it quite strange that Creative ship OEM drivers (beta ones) for Prelude series of cards, but totally forgets to release the same driver for its own range of cards. Why I , mean if Auzentech can use them on retail products, I see no reason why Creative can't. Don't you see what's happening out there Are you blind You are loosing peoples trust! C'mon, wake up will you. If a mod or admin could ask this very question to your superiors I would be happy. /G ran A

The Prelude drivers apparently fixes the 4Gb issue with static sound among other things so there must be some really important changes made into the driver, that's why I'm so puzzled that Creative fails to support its own customers. I know I read somwhere that the president of Creative said that the drivers will be fixed before November this year, he said that it had hurt the sails of cards due to poor Vista support etc. It looks like he might have kicked some butts at the driver departement, so let's have a beta out now to test, please! /G

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air. It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low. I stopped and tried to delete LR files. I couldn't do it. I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR. I contacted Apple. They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them. I have several back-ups. Thanks - Arthur

This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

Question about lead in music for podcasting.

Question about lead in music for podcasting.
I listen to many other podcasts and there are those which play lead in music with bit of music inside their podcast. The music are songs we all know and enjoy. I have notice that they only play short small clips of these songs and are not royalty free songs.
My Question would be is there a limit of time which you can play any song with out paying for it and use it in a podcast legally.
Thanks Mike

Legally you cannot use copyright music without written permission or a licence from a recognized authority, no matter how short the clip. Many people do this and get away with it (and for full tracks too) and it's debatable how much notice anyone is likely to take, or whether they would be bothered about a short clip. But the legal position is, it's not legal.
