CS3 and HD video

So I have built the computer to edit HD video, tested premier pro CS3 on windows
using my SD camcorder to do some editing so I know its can work on windows7.
I wanted to see how CS3 would work with HD video (avchd) from a canon camcorder which is likely what I will purchase.
I called canon to see if they had any sample avchd files to download and test for editing, which they dont, but also told me
that CS3 does not support avchd, which I thought it did.
I dont want to spend the money to upgrade to CS4 after building the
computer and buying the camera if I can avoid it, tjhis is just a hobby.
They said to get a converter, voltaicHD which when installed will act as a plugin for CS3 and allow the reading of avchd files converting them to MPEG-2 (yuc).
Has anyone used this and been able to produce good quality video with its use?

Curt:
I built an I7 overclocked to 3.8Ghz with 12gig ram.
On the hardware forum this is seems to be what folks are using to edit HD.
CS3 can import *.m2t but not *.mts whats the difference?

Adobe Premiere CS3 not accepting video files and out of synch

Hi everyone,
Just a quick summary of the project I'm working on:
Approx 26 hours of HD footage captured from Canon XH-A1. My system specs are:
- Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4Ghz CPU
- 2Gb RAM
- 4 X 500gb SATA 2 Drives
- At least 60 GIGS of head room on each drive
- Windows XP
Anyways, onto the PROBLEM:
I downloaded the CS3 UPDATES the other day to find that all my video files had to be re-indexed and after this had been done my TIMELINES had all been adjusted and altered (sometimes only a second or two off, sometimes more), so basically my entire project was out of whack. I googled this and found that I was not the only person experiencing the problem.
Since my project has taken me 9 months so far to complete this is a huge deal.
I saved my project plus I had a backup copy from before I did the updates, and I then uninstalled CS3 and then re-installed it WITHOUT the latest updates.
I thought this would fix the problem but I was WRONG!!!
I loaded up the project and it asked me to locate the video files - I directed the program to them and then this error message popped up:
"The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)"
I pressed Cancel and entered the project, where all my video files were now OFFLINE.
I then found that by linking a video file 1 at a time (or as most as 6 at once) the error message would not pop up (???) and it could link up to the video files.
BUT the problems continued because I found that most if not all of the video files were now OUT OF SYNC and hence unusable. The original files of course are NOT out of sync so this is a program error.
I have done various trouble shooting strategies to locate the cause of the error to no avail.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated, my project os of immense importance to me.
Regards,
Jeremy.

Ok, I installed the first update so I have version 3.1 which WAS working fine, but when I tried to load up the project and link the video files this message keeps popping up:
[..\..\Src\Win\WinPathUtils.ccp-553]
Also, no, my project is not 24P, it is 25P 50i.

CS4, reverting to CS3 (and getting a refund!) but still interested in opinions

I've just spent the last 24 hours trying to muscle my way through the myriad of problems I'm finding with CS4. I've managed to alleviate some, but still can't produce my end video.
To start off, I'm running on Windows Vista. All the problems seem to centre around Media Encoder (although I didn't get far enough to play with Encore or On Location).
Initial problems where to do with installation. If CS3 is removed after CS4 is installed the link to Media Encoder fails, you then have to removed CS4 and reinstall. Uninstall doesn't work correctly or completely, it leaves a fair amount of files behind that have to be manually removed, failure to do so resulst in Error 2 on reinstall (I'm guessing because the install tries to create some of the working directories, and fails because they are already there?).
After reinstallation, the job appeared correctly in Medie Encoder when it was fired up from Export in PP, and it was also now possible to add files to Encoder directly. I tried a test run of my project with the following settings:
H264
Width : 1280
Height : 720
fps : 25
Field order : Progressive
Quality : 4.0 and 5.1 (tried to runs)
Bit rate : can't remember, but atleast 12M for target and perhaps 30M for max?
VBR 2 pass
Sound : AAC
The end video was incredibly jerky.
I tried a second time using the following settings:
Quicktime
Codec : H264
Quality : 100
Width : 1280
Height : 720
fps : 25
Field Order : progressive
Pixel Aspect : square
Use maximum bit depth ticked
Bit rate : 1k (I tried to move this to 5k however it kept reverting back)
Sound : AAC
Export from PP initially failed, the job appeared in the queue, however nothing actually happened, it just sat there. I read on another post that updating Quicktime to 7.5.5 fixes that (does PP rely on Quicktime for the codec?), tried and the job then started.
Upon completion, the video played smoothly, although quality was low (low bit rate?). However the video to audio sychronisation was completely out. 30 seconds of play, and the sound was around a second behind the video.
I then tried applying all of the updates. As with other people, the Encoder portion failed initially (even though I started the update process from Encoder), but then succeeded the second time.
Upon completion of the updates, the problem reverted back to the initial, i.e. the job started OK, but didn't actually do anything.
The render settings I'm using are required by the web site I'm trying to create this video for, and also worked without issue in CS3.
It would seem to me that the Media Encoder portion in CS4, on the Windows version atleast, is seriously flawed (and no, I'm not going to buy a MAC ;-)).
I would like some answers to these problems, despite all the issues, I did like the overall look and feel of the product compared to CS3, and I also now need the AVCHD support.
Forgive any innacuracies in the phrases used, settings etc, CS4 has been removed from my system for now, so it was all from memory.

Stuart,
Maybe I'm just too old and have seen too many "revolutions," to get onto that wagon.
However, the more I follow CS4 threads, the more I am starting to question whether I will upgrade from CS2, or not. Some things look useful to me (more than with CS3), but then there are the problems.
Adobe IS listening, as evidenced by a few of the folk on the team dropping by to give info on updates, etc. Having some major "fixes" so soon upon release, indicates to me, that they are working on it.
I didn't move to CS3 for similar reasons. Also, it really did not offer ME much in the way of useful features.
Whether it's through bug reports, posts in the forum or direct correspondence with Adobe, the best way to get their attention, and provide them with useful data, is to offer as much detail on the specific problem(s) as one can and demonstrate repeatability. General posturing might make one feel better, but does little to get improvements in the program.
As you state, some of the problems are probably OE. Some are system specific, and others are related to 3rd party software. Still, there do seem to be a lot of issues that ARE CS4-specific. These worry me. These are the issues that I would like to see Adobe address. So far, they seem to be, albeit maybe not quickly and efficiently enough for many users. CS4 does seem to be more of a "work in progress," than I am willing to take on just yet, especially as it would also likely mean a new workstation and new OS (one that is not without some problems of its own and a new learning curve also).
I'm fortunate enough to have CS2 and a rock-solid group of systems to use it on. It does 95% of what I'd like for it to do, and that extra 5% has yet to intice me, especially with the "problems" that I've been reading about.
As for the Adobe faces in the forum, they have shown up, when they could actually tell us something. I view that as a very positive sign. Even when they have dropped in, too many people demand to know "WHEN?" something will be fixed. If they knew, they'd tell us.
I'm sorry that CS4 has not gone more smoothly, upon release. It saddens me greatly. However, it is also why I will be waiting and keep reading. For me, this will be an upgrade that will be very expensive, because it's not just the software. I hope that Adobe does get it all running and running smoothly.
I would anticipate, and hope, that the next update fixes most of the issues. I anticipate, and hope, that Adobe will provide us with the same sort of info on it, as they have done with 4.0.1 & AME's update. I also hope that the forum subscribers will concentrate on the info provided and cease with the "WHEN?" The Adobe posters do not know yet, as the coders are still working on it. It *seems* that rushing to meet a product release date might have gotten us into this trouble to begin with.
My fingers are all crossed. Maybe 4.0.2 will signal that it's time for me to make the jump.

How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
A: File -> import-> video to layers.
In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
They will now be available in your animation palette.

Zeno
curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

DW CS5 and choppy video in IE

Problem
Flash video inserted in a webpage made in DW CS5 and played back in IE8 plays back at a frame rate that is too low (looks "choppy").
Flash video inserted in a webpage and played back in IE8 plays back fine and smoothly / correct frame rate.
In CS3
Insert / Media / Flash Video / Browse / choosing a 480x270 FLV video at 29.97 fps
Clicking "detect size"
Chosing "clear skin 1"
Saving
Now a screen/message somes up: "Copy Dependet Files" comes up. It says:
"This page uses an object or behaviour that requires supporting files. The following files have been copied to your local site. You must upload them to your server in order for the object or behaviour to function"
And then mentions ONE file:
"......../CS3%20test/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
I click "OK" and it's saved.
I now go to the folder where I have the index-file and the other files.
I right click on index.html and open it with Internet Explorer 8. It plays smooth and just as expected.
I right click on index.html and open it with Internet Firefox. It plays smooth and just as expected.
Summing up: Inserting a flash video in Dreamweaver CS3 seems to work fine when I play it in Internet Explorer 8.
In CS5
Insert / Media / FLV... /
I prompts me to save now. I save - and get the "Insert FLV" menu.
I click "Browse" and choose the video I want.
I click "Detect Size" and then hit "OK"
Now I hit "Save again". Now a message comes up:
"This page uses an object or behaviour that requires supporting files. The following files have been copied to your local site. You must upload them to your server in order for the object or behaviour to function"
Now TWO files are mentioned:
Scripts/expressInstall.swf
Scripts/swfobject_modified.js
I click "OK"
I now go to the folder where I have the index-file and the other files that I made in Dreamweaver CS5.
I right click on index.html and open it with Internet Explorer 8. It plays at a too low frame rate of 10-15 fps and not as expected.
I right click on index.html and open it with Internet Firefox. It plays smooth and just as expected.
Summing up: Inserting a flash video in Dreamweaver CS5 makes the video playing back at a too low frame rate in Internet Explorer 8.
I uploaded the two versions (CS3 and CS5) to a website and had colleagues view it with different browsers and indeed IE8 always displays the video made in DW CS3 smooth and in DW CS5 as choppy/too low frame rate.
QUESTION
What am I doing wrong here? Any settings I've missed here? I can see that the file saving behaviour is a little different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
David

1. The videos were encoded identically in both situations. In fact, it is the exact same FLV file being used... Of course, otherwise it would be a meaningless comparison... But I have tried with numerous different FLV files, different framerates, bitrates and sizes. The problem is identitcal. CS3 plays fine in IE8 and CS5 plays choppy and with a lower frame rate in IE8. The scenario is the same when I compare CS3 and CS5.
2. No I can't post anything. It's just a low frame rate that's all. Imagin a clip playing at 8 fps. That's what it looks like. Everything works normally, just a low frame rate. Just use any NLE and set the project to play something at 8 -12 fps and that is exactly what it looks like.
Flash video inserted in CS5 Dreamweaver results in IE8 playing back the video at a too low frame rate. Firefox plays it back fine at full frame rate. This indicates the video itself is fine. Something is happening between IE8 and CS5 DW perhaps?
Any more ideas? Thanks and advance.

End of Upgrade Cycle for CS3 and CS4... Really Adobe?

As if business wasn't bad enough now I see there will be no upgrade paths past december for CS3 and 4 users. Is this how Adobe plans to keep users away from stopping their upgrades and reducing the number of machines they run Adobe products on? I understand Adobe is not a non-profit and has has to turn a revenue, but the geniuses at Marketing here have made a huge mistake by basically telling their customers that what they have so far will be worth zilch in comes 2013. That arbitrary deadline, is not consider some people who on the east coast are now cash strapped as anyone having to choose between home repairs and other such marvelous stuff and upgrading to CS6 guess what they'll choose. And for the lucky ones not heavily affected by the storms, they will donate to help their community before they will spend money to upgrade perfectly good software.
It wasn't enough that the upgrade path wasn't much of a discount, but in the current economy every penny counts! The choice of stopping support for CS3 and CS4 in my personal opinion an ill-advised move. I personally went from 3 to 4 within a short amount of time... then when 5 came out my budget didn't allow so I needed to wait. The new CS6 isn't direly needed so I decided I'd have to loose some additional "upgrade power" because money need to be directed elsewhere now... but the news that I'd loose all the upgrade power and would have kept on upgrading for nothing it's just ridiculous... and if that's the treatment a customer will have to expect from now on I think I'll use what I have and move to alternatives stopping to personally support Adobe products an rely on licensed copies at work instead. Perhaps Adobe hasn't notices we aren't exactly doing that great in US between the current economical situation, the various setbacks experienced across the country and for the fact that in this particular business most work is often being outsourced out of US these days... I am sure you will have a huge market on the countries where the outsourced work is being sent... as far as I am concerned comes 12/31/2013 I will no longer be an Adobe customer as Adobe is forcing me out of the upgrade cycle and I won't plan to re-enter anytime soon in the coming future... lesson learnt.
Thank you for your time (if any of the marketing gurus will have cared to read this far without laughing and discounting with a "screw those old customers, they should've upgraded earlier" which was basically the content of the email I got this week... pasted below)
Cheers,
tfbkny
Content of email received from Adobe saying last chance to upgrade now or what you got will be worthless in less than a couple months.
Dear Creative Suite customer:
We want to make sure you're aware of an important change to Adobe's upgrade policy that may affect you.
Beginning January 1, 2013, only Creative Suite customers with licenses for CS5 or CS5.5 versions will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.
Due to this change, we will only continue offering CS3 and CS4 customers like you special upgrade pricing through December 31, 2012.*
* Owners of CS3 and CS4 individual products and suite editions will be eligible to receive upgrade pricing to CS6 until December 31, 2012. After that date, only customers on CS5 or CS5.5 will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.

Adobe doesn't care, they don't have to. I like Phsotoshop and have been using it professionally for 20 years, but lets face it, I wouldnt mind some really good competition from another source. It didnt use to be the only game in town, and doesnt have to remain so.
I could brainstorm how I would want competing software to look like. Pshop is not the easiest workflow possible. Illustrator is clearly deficient to even CorelDraw, and certainly Freehand. I've been meaning to reconnect with CorelDraw. It did some cool things.
Google Chrome is pulling a lot of manoevers software wise and I hope they try to go a little deeper and give Adobe a run for their money on the one program they feel justifies unbelievable gouging. Go investigate Ableton Live if you want to see what a company that cares about its customers is doing, ADOBE. Audition is a JOKE compared to Ableton Live. Thank God we're not powned on the audio side by these suits.
The idea that a company would peddle buggy software, which CS4 was..., although some of that was Apple's fault, is bad, the upgrade prices were ridiculous, and this is the end of the road for me currently. The idea that a company would actively
push away customers is pretty incredible. "But I sent you an email!" Whoops, you gotta pay $1900 for production premium CS6! HAHAHAHAHA. Time for a YT video with my old hard copy box. Sounds like a good idea.
There are too many options on the motion graphics side, and I'll keep a static machine to run Pshop and AE CS4.
The masters of the universe will have theit way, and the rest must bow to their ambivalent greed. At least that's the way they think. It would seem that Adobe and Apple really, really want some upstarts to come up. Maybe $360 for a year to figure out an exit might work. It will be interesting to see if this hits earnings. VERY interesting.

How to get iMovie version 9.09/2009 Mac version 10.7.5 to recognize JVC GR-DX77U camcorder via 9 pin to 4 pin firewire and import video

My question: Is it possible to get iMovie version 9.09/2009 MacBook Pro/ Mac Os X version 10.7.5 to recognize JVC GR-DX77U camcorder via 9 pin to 4 pin firewire and import video?
My camcorder is recognized with 4 pin to 4 pin firewire on laptop with Windows operating system; however, it will not recognize on MacBook Pro with 9pin to 4 pin firewire. JVC website does not offer any updated camcorder driver software for this camcorder and older version driver on CD will not download onto MacBook Pro.

Hi
With the reservation of that I us:
• iMovie 9.0.4
• Mac OS X.6.9
see my notes
NO CAMERA or A/D-box
Cable
• Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
• Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
A/D-box
• Is the dip-switches set right ?
• Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
• Try resetting it
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
• FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
External device’s (hard disk’s)
• Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
• MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited. No Camera or A/D-box
• GarageBands fix - Close iMovie, Open GarageBand, Play some notes, Close GB and iMove can now be OK
• Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
• White MacBooks - don't
• MacBook-Air - don't
if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
else - NO SOLUTION
Only option as I get it is either
• Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
• Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
• If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
• Screen Saver - OFF
• Energy Saver - OFF
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
from LKN 1935.
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About . . / More . .
under Firewire.. what do you read . . ?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choice / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !
mbolander
Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
No Camera or bad import
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconnect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

Maybe your problems is solved in the meantime, but for all others this might help as I had the same problem, also have the Sony HDR-HC7, but the 7e (Europe, PAL). I found this link today and it works perfectly
//support.sony-europe.com/tutorials/dime/videotransfer/vtransfer.aspx site=odw_en_GB&sec=DVH&m=HDR-HC7E
What I exactly did.- put camera in play mode - open guide - choose connection guide - choose comp./printer (where to transfer movie to) - select connection.- i-link (on my camera) but equal to firewire - OK - choose HDV - choose NO for conversion of i.link.
Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.

DW CS3 with Spry Video Workshop Tutorials

Hi
Has anyone else has attempted to go thru the Video Workshop
tutorials for using Spry with DW CS3 Trial version?
I am trying to learn how to use Spry and have gone thru the
Using Spry Framework for Ajax by Joseph Lowery. The problem I have
is that the example demonstrated in the tutorial simply does not
work as advertised in the video presentation (at least not using my
copy of DW CS3 Trial download). Getting exasperated I decided to
follow step by step the process in the accompanying HTML version of
the exersize only to discover glaring errors in the text of the
exersize - (Steps 9 and 10 have NOTHING to do with the example -
but thats beside to point here).
Here is what I have done so far:
1. I downloaded the zip file with the code for the tutorials,
created a DW local development copy and uploaded the files to the
testing server. The "testing server" is Apache on my XP Pro SP2
system.
2. In the root directory of the sample site used ion the
tutorial has a number of files which can be used as a starting
point for the tutorials. I have selected a file called
05_ajax_spry.htm and followed the steps in the tutorial to create
the Master / Detail regions and the Master data table.
3. At the completion of the exersize I should be able to
perform the following:
Sort either of the two columns in the
Master Region's Table
click on a data row in the master
table and observe the correct image and description forthat row in
the Detail Region.
3. Neither of these work - The only thing that does work is:
- The Master Region Table gets created OK as does the Detail
Region
- When I browse over the data in the Master Region each
separate row gets highlighted
- Onlky the first detail image and detail description are
displayed in the Detail Region and they never change when I click
on a row in the Master Region.
4. Now, I have gone thru the process several times in the
belief that I must have missed something - but so far I cant
pinpoint what that could be.
So, I decided to have a look at the next example which
applies an Accordian Widget to the page. This example is based on
another file in the root of the tutorial site called
http://beta/dwcs3spry/06_spry_widgets.htm.
This file essentially starts off where the previously worked on
exersize finishes. Upon examining the code of this file I noted a
difference in the Spry code applied to the table rows in the Master
Region. The code for the Master table in each example is:
05_ajax_spry.htm after completion of the exersize:
<table id="events">
<tr>
<th spry:sort="name">Name</th>
<th spry:sort="location">Location</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="dsEvents" spry:setrow="dsEvents"
spry:hover="rowHover" spry:select="rowSelected">
<td>{name}<br />
{date}</td>
<td valign="top">{location}</td>
</tr>
</table>
06_spry_widgets.htm - untouched or edited in the associated
exersize:
<table id="events">
<tr>
<th
onclick="dsEvents.sort('name','toggle')">Name</th>
<th
onclick="dsEvents.sort('location','toggle')">Location</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="dsEvents"
onclick="dsEvents.setCurrentRow('{ds_RowID}');"
spry:hover="rowHover" spry:select="rowSelected">
<td class="eventNameTD">{name}<br />
{date}</td>
<td class="locationTD">{location}</td>
</tr>
</table>
Note the onclick events in the latter version.
I guess my question is "How do I get these onclicks in place
using DWCS3's" wizards ?" - I am using the Trial version of DW CS3.
And, I note when I checked the code for the SpryData.js that it is
Version 1.3. This i is the SpryData.js file that is included in the
downloaded zip file for the DW CS3 Video Workshop Spry tutorials.
Many thanks.

OK - I got it sorted. I created a new site which is a copy of
the tutorial except that I included a new folder for the Spry
Assets so that when I added the Spry stuff DW CS3 loaded the v1.4
files into the new folder for the Spry files instead of using the
pre-existing files supplied in the tutorial - and it works as
advertised.
This may help someone else who comes across a similar problem
when using the Video Workshop files.
Although the video tutorials provide an intro into using DW
CS3 it is a pity that the tradition estalished by Macromedia of
including excellent tutorials WITH Dreamweaver have been dropped
now that Adobe has control. Those examples provided in the supplied
tutorials were excellent and would be nice to have back. They
certainly covered more ground than the pityful Help now included
with DW CS3 and the current poor examples in the Video Workshops.
Perhaps Adobe could improve the level of Quality Control on the
Video Workshops and expand the scope of the tutorials it could
improve things. This release of DW is a poor showing for Adobe
after the take-over. I just hope it gets better with the next
release - soon.

SWF problem in Dreamweaver CS3 and strange Script file

Hi folks, I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and tried to upload a
SWF file today. The SWF includes three buttons, one for video,
another for audio and one for text. Before loading up to DW all
three parts played fine. But when I uploaded to DW and my site, the
video fails to play. A Script file, and another file downloaded I
am not sure what I am supposed to do with this script file. The
script file is called The audio and text part works fine, but the
video will not play. I am not sure why this is, but when I uploaded
the file to Dreamweaver there was a Script file called
AC_RunActiveContent.js that automatically downloaded along with a
file called .htaccess
The other file is called called .htaccess
I uploaded both files to my server, but that did not help the
video play. I tried pasting the AC_RunActiveContent.js code into my
page and uploading, but that did not help the video play either; I
just got code at the bottom of my page.
I have viewed the page in Mozilla, IE7 and Flock, but still I
cannot play the video.
Does anyone have any idea how to make the video play in
Dreamweaver; what I am supposed to do with these two code files?
For those interested in the AC_RunActiveContent.js code, I
will post below. Please try to explain simply because I am not so
tech savvy.
I thank you all.
Mary

I have managed to fathom it out.

I have CS3 and when I try to open Canon Raw files in Bridge, I am unable to do so.

i have cs3 and i am unable to open canon raw files. please help.

What camera generated your Canon raw files.
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Can PS CS3 and PS-Elements live on same drive?

I finally have my new dream PC (and Win-7 Pro) for video projects and all of the CS apps.
I bought PSE-7 for use on my laptop and have CS3 Design Premium that's never been installed - (waited for the new PC).
Will I have any problems with both PS CS3 and PS-E living on the same drive?
Thanks for your advise,
Coach Bob

Actually, that can work very well indeed.
The high throughput of SSD coupled with the zero seek times makes SSD a good choice to host everything.
I have a RAID array of four SSDs that I use for everything that's running - Windows, the swap file, all apps, and Photoshop scratch. I also have some spinning drives on the system, but they're just for archival and are spun down (power saving state) most of the time.
I can barely notice when Photoshop goes to its scratch files.

Problems with CS3 and Leopard

Having a bit of a nightmare with Indesign and Photoshop CS3 since upgrading to Leopard. Running a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 With 2GB DDR SDRAM. Anyone else having problems?

Below is the Adobe Marketing Line (copied verbatim). It's what I was told by Adobe Sales and what I read at Adobe.com, FAQ, before buying CS3 in October 07. Imagine my surprise when I discovered all of the issues with CS3 and Leopard, even after the update to Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional which promised full compatibility (see chart at bottom).
Apple and Adobe... ARGH.
Oh yes, for all of the new suckers out there who are about to buy CS3 for their new Macs, the exact same FAQ is at Adobe.com, even now, Thursday, 12 Jun 2008.
ADOBE CREATIVE SUTIE 3 Frequently Asked Questions
Support for Mac OS X Leopard
Q. Is Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) important to Creative Suite 3 customers?
A. Yes, Mac OS X Leopardthe latest version of Apples operating systemdelivers an elegant,
productive new computing experience for creative professionals. Adobe and Apple have been
collaborating closely for months to ensure that Adobe Creative Suite® 3 applications can run
smoothly and reliably on Mac OS X Leopard. We are proud to support this impressive new
operating system, and to ensure that our creative customers can take full advantage of the
performance and value of using Creative Suite 3 applications and Mac OS X Leopard on
Intel-based and PowerPC Macs.
Q. Are Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5)? If
some are not fully compatible today, when will they be compatible?
A. Thanks to close collaboration between Adobe and Apple, most of the CS3 applications and associated technologies, such as Adobe Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, and Device Central CS3, are compatible with Mac OS X Leopard without requiring additional updates. However, the following CS3 applications will require updates for full compatibility with Leopard: Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and our professional video applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3 Professional, Encore CS3, and Soundbooth CS3. We expect to publish free Leopard compatibility updates for the video applications in December 2007 and for Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe Reader 8 in January 2008. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2 of this FAQ.
Q. Will older versions of Adobe creative softwaresuch as Creative Suite 2 and
Macromedia Studio 8 softwaresupport Mac OS X Leopard?
A. While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were
designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2.
Q. Will Adobe continue to test CS3 applications on Mac OS X Leopard?
A. Yes. Adobe sets high standards of quality, stability, and reliability for our professional creative
products, and we have worked closely with Apple to test Creative Suite 3 applications on both pre-release versions and the final shipping version of Mac OS X Leopard. While this testing showed that most CS3 applications perform well on Leopard (and that others run well but need updates for a few identified issues), we recognize that other issues may unexpectedly arise on any new operating system. We plan to continue testing and to monitor user experience closely to address any such issues. If you encounter any issues, please report them by going to www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html and clicking Report
A Bug. Please note that we dont respond to submissions, but we do review them closely with the appropriate CS3 product teams.
Q. Which CS3 applications will need patches to be compatible with Mac OS X Leopard?
A. The following table summarizes compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard. It notes which CS3 applications require updates for full Leopard compatibility and when Adobe expects to release those free updates.
At A Glance: Mac OS X Leopard Compatibility

CS3 and CS4 Dilemma- Older Sony Camera

I have successfully captured video with CS3 and an old Sony DCR-PC120. I have upgraded to CS4 and the camera is no longer recognized for capture. I then tried to reinstall CS3 and got hung up during installation. I got caught in an endless loop of "install Disc 1 for CS4 and install Disc 1 of CS3" but never could reinstall CS3. Questions: 1) Can I reinstall CS3 after I have upgraded to CS4 OR do I need to uninstall CS4 first? 2) In these forums I see several users maintain multiple versions of Premiere, do I need a full version vs the upgrade version to do this? 3) Any other ideas on how to get my media off this old camera? Thanks.

For both CS3 and CS4 the better capture tools are:
For HDV: HDVSplit
For SD: Scenalyzer
This may avoid the need to reinstall CS3 and possibly messing up some registry keys.

Problem batch processing in CS2, CS3 and CS4e

I have all the above named programs and have tried unsuccessfully to get the batch process to work. I currently run it in CS with no problems. We want to upgrade to CS5e and actually be able to use it to process our web gifs without constantly going back to the old version.
I have an action set up with the following steps:
Start Record
Open File
Save for Web - Set Width to 150 pixels - Apply - Save (I select a folder called 150)
I repeat process for a 300 pixel image.
Close the file
Stop record.
Go to batch process:
Choose Action
Select Source Folder
Override Action "Open" Command is checked
Choose Destination Folder (150 from above)
I select OK.
This runs fine in PS CS and no matter how many files I have in the source I end of with the same number in both the 150 and 300 folder I have created, named correctly and in the correct 150 or 300 pixel width I need as gif files.
I repeat the same procedure in CS2, CS3 or CS4e and all I get is a folder with one image in it when done. the batch runs and you can see it opening files but it just constantly overwrites the original file.
I have tried to check other boxes such as the Override Action Save As Command and other things I have found on these forums but nothing is working.
I even called Adobe and was on the phone for 99 minutes and let them view my desktop while I ran the procedure in both PS CS and PS CS4e and they were stumped. I was told they would pass it on to supervisors and someone would call me back. I called back after a week since I had not heard from anyone and was told my call was recorded as a mis-dircted call and they had no record.
If someone could please help I would really appreciate it. I have spent the last three evenings combing websites and watching videos to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I have checked all those and am using the same settings from program to program without success. It always work
s in PS CS.
