CS4- How to orbit?

Hi all, I've just recently gotten into AE and had a bit of a snag . I was wondering how - if even possible - to orbit a light around an object? Ex, a comet caught in a planets orbit. My light is either in front or behind my object. I want it so, at first, it is behind my obj and than gradually travels through 3D space to wind up in front of it. Thank you, anyone/everyone, for your help.

You should be able to use keyframes to animate the light's position around whatever object you want.
What part of it are you having trouble with?
Also, as someone just starting off, I highly suggest you go through all of the resources here before you try other things.

I have created a newsletter in indesign cs4 how can I set zooms for each article for the user

I have created a e-newsletter in Indesign. I have successfuly saved it as a SWF then as a PDF from acrobat.
The problem is that when the user zooms in the resolution is not good.
How can I let the user zoom in to read each article. Would I create buttons with zoom settings for each article. If this is the case do I do it in Indesign or Flash and can I still save it as a PDF file and it will keep the interactivity?
I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue. It is driving me mad trying to get the information I need.
Thank you

Hi Bob
Dont know what you mean by deleting my signature in the forum. Sorry its my
first time using a forum.
So just to confirm if I want a user to zoom in on an article I can't do it
in Indesign or Flash.

In dreamweaver mx 2004 and dreamweaver cs4, how I configure, when download/upload do not ask me to include DEPENDED FILES but act without including ?

in dreamweaver mx 2004 and dreamweaver cs4, how I configure, when download/upload do not ask me to include DEPENDED FILES but act without including ?

Open the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Site category. There are two checkboxes there for dependent files. Make sure both are selected. The Dreamweaver default is NOT to upload/download dependent files. You need to click Yes, if you want the dependent files to be included.

Premiere CS4 - How can you import QuickTime (.mov) videos and which settings for the sequence?

Premiere CS4
How can you import QuickTime (.mov) videos and which settings for the sequence?
Please reply in plain English or if possible in German
Greetings from Vienna, Peter

I have not installed Quicktime.
I got a few scenes (.mov) from a Canon Eos 70d.
I want to create a short film (in Premiere CS4) with these scenes, mixed with photos and MP3 music.

Master collection CS4, how to keep "Date taken" in captured videos?

Hello,
I have the master collection CS4 on a Vista system, and I can easily capture from my old Canon Elura DV tapes, with a firewire cable, either using Premiere Pro, or the simple Windows capture utility.
Now, no matter what file format I created, both AVI (big) and WMV (smaller) the files' "Date Taken" or "Date Shot" fields are blank. All Date modified/created and accessed are the date of the capture, which I do not really need, since my tapes are 8 years old... !
Windows Photo Gallery sorts your photo and videos by date taken, but this does not seem to be possible with captured DV videos...
Now, it seems such a simple feature to have the DV date/time stamp to be translated into the file "Date Taken" field, I am wondering how to do that.
Is there a plugin? Is there a workflow I am missing in premiere? or AfterEffects?
The date/time stamp is embeddded in the DV stream, and I read that a AVI capture will simply copy the DV stream to the HD, so how do I extract / see that information?
And, really, how come such a critical information is so hard to work with? I mean, don't professional movie makers want to know precisely when video clips have been shot?
Thank you
regards

Hi,
hmm, I use SCLive to capture and the filename becomes the date taken and are numbered sequentially...as it can capture different avi files every time it sees the camera was shut off and turned back on...like those become "scenes" in a way..a new avi file. But the date and numbers reflect what youre talking about. I never captured using cs3 which is what I use. SCLive is actually "better" at capturing mini dv tapes.
As for movie making the slate gives you that info...and when you start the edit you rename the captured footage according to the slate..so the filenames reflect more readily what the stuff is...
eg. " scene3-take3-cu " or "scene5-take2-master"...etc.

CS4 How to save a clip or a group of clips to use in another project ?

Hi guys, I am new here and I am new in this videoediting.
I find Premiere Pro fantastic to edit videos, it really is a program for PRO´s.
Because of that it has so many functions and options that it is hard for a beginner to find his way.
I have tried to find the answere to my question in the Help, here in this Forum and I have also two different Video tutorials but not lucky.
Background:
I had 10 videotapes from a Sony handycam that I took in 1989-90 in NZ living there with my 2 small daughters for one year.
I have got the tapes transformed to DVD´s and I have no problem to read them and edit them in Pro CS4. But I want to make a couple of different videos for different audiences.
One DVD incl the whole trip, one short version and then I want to use just some clips for something totally diferent.
I put in a lot of effort to change the lightning and editing every clip very carefully. I just want to do this one time for every clip.
So how can I save the edited clips so I easily can open them up in different projects?
Probably a stupid question but no question - no answere!
I have been readinf quite a lot here in the different forums for Premiere and I am amazed how much knowledge there is here.
Best regards
Sven

I hope my question has not been answered yet, I hope to hear another solution to my problem.
Problem again:
I have 10 movies in .vob format, each around 30 minutes.
I edit each movie and from the first one I got 19 clips and together 5 min 23 seconds.
Each clip I try to make better with better lights, better sound etc etc using video and audio efects. So I put a lot of work into each clip.
When I have edited all 10 movies I might have 200 clips and each clip is improved by using different video and movie effects.
Then I want to make 3 maybe 4 different movies from all the clips. For some clips I might want to change the effects depending on which movie it will be included in or for some other reason.
So I want to save each clip with the video and audio effects "open".
I have got some ideas from Alan and Ann and I have tested to Export from the Workarea.
So I want to report the results from my tests:
I have a clip 1 min 40 sec with many diiferent video effects.
Format: Quick time gives a .mov file and the size was 381 Mbyte. It took around 30 minutes
Format: Microsoft avi gives a .avi file and the size was also 381 Mbyte and took same time.
Format: H.264 gives a .mp4 file and the size is only 40 Mbytes but took same time.
Format: MPEG4 gives a .3gp file with size 2.2 Mbytes.
When you export to media you choose Format and Preset plus you have 100 other different parameters that you can change.
When you click OK Adobe Media Encoder starts up. Here you can change Format and Preset and you can also duplicate the order to make a new file and make files with different Formats.
.mov file, .avi file and .mp4 file gave in my opinion same quality but the 3gp file was very blurred. I could import all the 3 first formats into Premiere Pro CS4 BUT the video and audio effects were deleted. The effects had affected the new movies so that is kind of OK but I had hoped the new movies should contained the effectinformation so I could change the effect for each clip depending of which final movie it should be in.
The Premiere Pro CS4 is a fantastic tool and a user can taylor his own "clipboard" with his style and make and save his own tools (effects).
Maybe there is a function to save an original clip together with its video and audio effects so it easy can be used and reused.
I have learned a lot today and I hope someone else has found these posts interesting and wants to dig deeper into the subject.
Thanks everyone!

[Ai-CS4] How to add an art board to existing document ?

hi all,
can anybody suggest me how to add a new artboard to existing document? I didn't find any ArtBoard Palette in CS4. But in CS5 it is given.
thanks,
D.A

The Artboard panel is new to AiCS5. In CS4, a new artboard can be added by doing either of the two:
1. Pick the Artboard Tool and click-drag it in the canvas area of the Illustrator document.
2. Pick the Artboard Tool, click on the 'New Artboard' button in the Control Panel. Then select the desired size from the list of Artboard Presets in the Control Panel and then click in the desired area of the canvas to add a new Artboard.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop CS4 - How to install both 64 and 32 bit versions on XP 64

Hello-
When I installed Photoshop CS4 along with the other apps on CS4 Web Premium I thought that both versions of PShop would be installed by default, but that was not the case with my installation; only the 64 bit version was installed.
Now I would like to install the 32 bit version but when I try to do it through setup I am unable to check the box. There is a list of "Installed Products" and then "Available Products"; the only thing under "Available Products" is Photoshop CS4, but I am unable to check the box.
Any ideas on how I can install the 32-bit version? I want it for the GPU acceleration and to use certain plugins.
Thanks,
Paul

a)re: built for XP64 - note that I said "gave the [erroneous] impression," meaning that someone could plausibly infer that PSCS4 64 will not run reliably on XP 64, which is categorically untrue. I am NOT saying that there are not people who have had problems and will continue having problems with PS CS4 on XP 64.* However, I am personally attesting - having worked with PS CS on my XP 64 system a lot since buying it this week, including continuously since I reinstalled last night ( I tend to work at night) - that PS CS4 runs gloriously on XP 64, INCLUDING the OpenGL stuff once you patch the reg via the link I posted (which, by the way, would have been a valid answer to my question).
On that note, telling me stuff that I already know is NOT a valid answer. Further, as we have seen, my running this on XP 64, as opposed to Vista, was irrelevant, if only (but not really only) because that is not the system to which my question referred. How did telling me about Vista help? If you don't know what to do with XP 64, then you don't know....I didn't know either, at least when I posed my question. Your reference to Vista was POINTLESS.
b) re: installing to non-default directory. I have been doing this for so long that I can't remember not doing it, and I have never, ever had a problem like this, and I do have other dual-bit depth apps. This should be a non-issue. If I thought it was relevant I would have mentioned it, but in light of what I just said, it did not seem to be a factor. Crikey- CS3 is in that same directory! Why would Adobe's installer get confused? They are the same structures, i.e. %disk%:\Program Files, %disk%:\Program Files (x86). If you knew things that might cause my problem - you didn't-you might have asked about my install.... Instead, you told me what anyone who had read my question would already know that I knew, namely that there would be two different locations for the two different versions. Incidentally, and here's good intel here, when you do get them both installed, you get BOTH versions listed in your Adobe CS4 whatever edition programs folder. Right there! So, if you had known what you were on about, you would have realized that there was NO WAY that PS 32 was mysteriously hiding somewhere. This is another clue that you knew nothing about the subject you were purportedly answering!
So why, why, why am I picking on you? Because there was a time when you could post a simple question on the internets and some helpful soul would take the time to actually read and consider the question before giving an answer that, even if not ultimately fruitful, was at least in the freaking ballpark. But those days are gone** and even though I know that and I expect nothing, I posted anyway, and along came you, with two heaping helpings of SQUAT in terms of useful advice. What the hey? Are you that bored that you just dole out crappy advice? Watch more TV or something!
Jeez!
Thanks,
Paul
*My relevant system specs are as follows, for those who may want to give XP 64 a shot: and/or are having problems:
XP 64 SP2 ( there is no SP3 for 64 and parenthetically I will note that CS4 on XP 32 SP2 runs fine even though you get a warning on install that it is supposed to have SP3 installed)
8 GB RAM
AMD 64X2 5600 on AMD/ATI 780G Chipset with dual integrated ATI 3200 Graphic plus an extra ATI 3400 card running three different monitors (2 on the 3200 and one on the 3400). On my setup PS likes to enable and actually work with the OpenGL stuff when I launch either/or the 64 or 32 bit version on the monitor that is attached to the 3400 card. After that I can drag the app anywhere I want and it works.
** in July, as myself and my girlfriend were getting ready for our vacation, we posted on a location-specific travel group to ask if people knew if the hotel we were staying at had a safe for our laptop.

VB CS4 - How send many textframe to a document to fill page and then another

Hi,
Sorry by my bad english, I'm using CS4 and vbscript.
Need to take information from several fields in a database and send it to an Indesign document. Progressively fill a page and then another.
How do you add a textframe automatically for each field and the pages needed.
With my current code, I can put a box on every page. But I want to put the text fields below and once you fill the page, switch to another.
Thanks.
Jorge
Current code:
For i As Integer = 0 To myDataSet.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1myPage = myDocument.Pages.Item(i + 1)
myTextFrame = myPage.TextFrames.Add
Dim myArray1 As String() = {"4p", "4p", "60p", "20p"}myTextFrame.GeometricBounds = myArray1
myTextFrame.Contents = myTextFrame.Contents + (myDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item("name")).ToString + vbCrmyTextFrame.Contents = myTextFrame.Contents + (myDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(
"adress")).ToString + vbCrmyDocument.Pages.Add(idLocationOptions.idAfter, myDocument.Pages.Item(i + 1))
Next

The Quiz Results slide's Continue button actions are set under Quiz Preferences > Pass or Fail > If Passing Grade etc. By default, the Continue button is set to just continue on to the next slide after the Quiz Results.
After the user clicks the Continue button on the Quiz Results slide any Pass/Fail actions you've set up there will be evaluated and executed.
So if the user achieved a passing score, and you set up an action such as Go to URL in Current Window for that case, then the user should find themselves redirected to that URL. If there was a different action for Failure, and the user failed, then that should happen. But either of these will only happen after the Continue button is clicked.
I tested this by setting www.google.com as the go to URL and it worked. To see if the URL is the issue, try using another URL that you know everyone can get to. If that works, try to find out why the URL you want to use is not working. If no URL works, something else is interfering with the action.

In Flash CS4,How can I give a AS3 List Component a suitable horizontalScrollBar

In Flash CS4 when an AS3 List Component has too many rows,it will has a verticalScrollBar automatically. but it will never has a horizontalScrollBar even a part of the content of the list is hidden.
I set the property list.horizontalScrollPolicy="on",and set list.maxHorizontalScrollPosition=200; then the horizontalScrollBar appear
but when I click the item of the list, all the list move to left, half of the list is hidden,
I can only see the right part of the list, the I click the list again,the list move to right,then I can see all the list by move the horizontalScrollBar
How can I give a suitable horizontalBar to the AS3 list component?

Thank you for your help! (sorry,I`m bad in English...)
In fact, it works.
but,I made a mistake,the reason I want to give a list a horizontalScrollBar is:I want to show all content in a list that is not wide enough,
you see,first row can show all content in this list,but in the other rows,the content is too wide to show,I want to give the list a horizontalScrollBar to show all content by draging the horizontalScrollBar to right.
now,set property:
list.horizontalScrollPolicy="on", list.maxHorizontalScrollPosition=30;(the result is the image above),when I drag the horizontalScrollBar to right:
ah ha ,the row can`t show all content too,the horizontalScrollBar is related to the width of all the list, is not related to the width of the content in every row.
now I kown why the horizontalScrollBar is always disable.
but in design,to show a lot of content,we can`t draw a list too wide, it`s not beatiful,so I want to use a horizontalScrollBar to show all content in every row.
and the list is not too wide
ah ah, like the list in Flex4
In fact,ah,I have not studied Flex 4,so,I have to make it by using Flash CS4 Component
How can I do? Please
(so sorry for my bad English,I do my best in it)

CS4- How do I anchor my image from floating when performing a crop?

I just upgraded to CS4 from CS3. (I've had the disc for a year but delayed due to workshops I was giving)
When I open an image (after ACR) and try a crop by clicking and dragging from top left to bottom right, then let go the image starts floating upward! I then have to select the Hand tool and pull the image back down. This is most agravating!
It never did this in CS3, as the image stayed anchored and centered in the screen. I've gone through all the preferences and presets and find nothing about crop tool options or image handling for a crop.
How do I anchor my image, so it doesn't move?
On a related problem, when I open an image from ACR, by default, it goes into a reduced window, which I have to make full screen by pressing the F key. In full screen mode, the image then goes in behind my tool windows.
In CS3, the image rested nicely within the working space between the tool window on the right and the screen on the left.
How do I get the images that I open in CS4 to replicate what I had in CS3?
Any assistance or ideas someone can render would be most appreciated.
Cheers,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
"Why are you selecting the whole image to with the Crop Tool anyway?"
Frequently I will quickly click and drag from top left to bottom right. The crop line then sits around the perimeter of the image. Then I will move the curser to the sides-top-bottom of the image and adjust it up or down for the desired crop, such as if I make a pano. In CS 3 this worked like a charm.
In CS 4, when I do the quick click and drag diagonally across, the window floats up as I continue the drag to the bottom of the page.
CS 3 didn't care if I worked this way, the image didn't move. Pour CS 4 is touchy and doesn't like it! It wants to be treated with RESPECT! Hah! So I've had to change my ways and just slowly stop in the bottom right corner if I don't want the freakin image to drift up. Wish I had a vid camera to show you what I mean.
Talked to my webmaster 'bout this problem. He could not reporduce this either. Mind you he says he opens his windows in TABS, which I don't do. I'm going to change my preferences and see what happens.
"You could try Window – Application Frame to see if you prefer that one’s behaviour."
Super tip... many thanks! I'll try it and see what happens. Is this how you are using your canvas?
I'm looking at buying a 2nd cheapo 23inch screen to have all the windows and action panels on, so I leave my Cinema screen open for just the image.
Maybe this way it will reduce the aggravation level. Grrrrrrrrrrr!
Cheers,
Frederic in Montréal

CS4: how to change cmd+H function?

Hi, I have recently got CS4 and one thing really bugs me, the cmd+H function has changed to ctrl+cmd+H. It used to be used to show/hide frame edges but now cmd+H appears to have been taken over by the Mac system, to hide any and all applications. I'd like to change it back but I can't find how to change the keyboard setting - in either Indesign or Mac preferences. Which should I use?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's a little thing but I used cmd+H ALL the time and am finding it a hard habit to break! Indesign constantly *disappearing* on me is proving frustrating to say the least!

Tha's funny: googling for a solution I found these pages instead: Cmd-H Now the Mac InDesign Shortcut for "Hallelujah, It Hides" and Doing the right thing with Cmd-H (be sure to read the comments).
So it seems enough people complained to Adobe to make them change their initial choice. Perhaps they'll change their mind again.
