Custom-size .m4v file?
How can I export a FCE 1080I60 sequence as an .m4v file that is a 640x360 "MPEG-4 Video"?
Used FCE 3.5.1 export>QT Conversion>iPhone, got an .m4v 480x360 "MPEG-4 Video File" of reasonably good quality but slightly distorted proportions, ~55M for a 7 minutes video.
I have an earlier sequence that I exported as an .m4v file, a 640x360 "MPEG-4 Video" that was decent quality & undistorted on YouTube (though it played letterboxed.) It was ~68M for 6 minutes of video. But I don't remember how I did it. I was even more lost then than I am now.
Does this make sense to anybody???
ss
640x360 is apparently an iPod size on my Mac/FCE. All I did was Export>QT Conversion>iPod and there were no further choices. I didn't know it was going to be 640x360 till I checked Get Info when the export was done.
You're right, it looks like crap - lots of pixellation. But the much larger (in MB) file I had generated for my soccer-movie 640x360 looked quite good. I may have started from a different place with that one - I was really struggling, and have versions of the sequence ranging from <5 MB to >5 GB in size. At one point (on your advice, actually) I exported the sequence as a stand-alone movie, printed it to tape, and then reimported it. That might have been the sequence I exported via QT conversion>iPod ????
I may have a testable hypothesis here... Or more likely, I'm missing some obvious point entirely...
Thanks for anything you can think of,
sharron s.

Photoshop CS6 file/new/presets/custom sizes-where kept?
I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.8.3 and lately I've been losing presets when Photoshop CS6 crashes or I have some other unrelated problem. First it was brushes-I lost the palette of brushes I had built over years and had to drag in an old set from a networked computer. Then it was Workspacees; same tedious solution. Now, after I had to reinstall the OS two days ago, I've lost the custom size presets under File/New/Presets/Custom. But it isn't clear where these presets reside in the system: the prefs, the app plugins, or the settings. Where are they stored, and can anyone tell me why all these preferences or presets seem to be more volatile in CS6 than they were previously? Or is this all a fig newton of my imagination?

You could always point out that anyone whould really wants to watch it could download and install the free QT 7 Player in much the same way that many Mac users would have to download and install either a WMV Player or a WMV component for their QT Player.
You realize, of course, things will likely get worse once you start "customizing" your exports of each recipient? My Sister only wants WMV 9 ($50 for Microsoft "approved" bi-directional components), my brother-in-law "prefers" DivX 6 minimum ($20 for the components), my nieces are into YouTube (posted directly from iMovie '08 for the price of iLife '08) and want everything posted there, and my Aunt (whose computer is more than a decade old) only wants MPEG-1 (which I used to make with iVCD (don't remember what that used to cost or Ti Toast 9 at $80) and of course there is always Visual Hub (at just under $24) for all of the others who will settle for older AVI or WMV files. You can also try exporting some of the "less recent" or "older" codecs like MPEG-4/AAC, Sorenson Video, Sorenson 3 Video, H.263, Cinepak, etc. There are dozens of audio and video codecs that can be combined in in hundreds of combination and placed in various file containers but the problem is you will probably never find a single compression format that really satisfies everyone all of the time. So before anyone can "draw you a map," you will have to make a decision as to "down which road you wish to travel." -
How do I print more than one custom-size photo on a page in PSE 10?
I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 10. I make greeting cards, and on PSE 6 I was able to print two custom-size (6-1/2” x 5”) cards on each 8-1/2” x 11” sheet of photo paper. The option to print more than one custom-size card on a single sheet of paper is not available in PSE 10. I want to know how I can print more than one custom-size card (or photo) on a page in PSE 10?

How to create a custom printing plate file
Does anyone know how to do the following? It is for a We r memory keepers custom file.
Create a new document in a custom size 6" x 8"The document should be a bitmapped PDF fileResolution should be at least 1200 dpiDesign custom artwork in the 6" x 8" spaceAll artwork must be 100% Black (C=0, M=0, Y=0, B=100)All fonts must be 6 pt or greaterAll lines must have a width of 0.3 pt or greaterSave document as a hi-res PDFNote: Please note that raster art should be at 1200 DPI bitmap, even if it's placed into Illustrator. If using Photoshop, double check the Bitmap under image->mode->Bitmap. We recommend using a 50% treshold in that conversion, then saving it as a bitmapped PDF file. If image->mode->bitmap is grayed out, you must first select grayscale mode, and then convert to bitmap. Converting to bitmap ensures that each pixel of your artwork is either black or white (not colored or gray). The software that creates the printing plate will then be able to detect how to react for every pixel of your photopolymer plate.Pretty much self explanatory. You just have to design something and then use the instructions is supplying the vendor the appropriate file type.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g can not define a custom size paper. I would like to have a custom size to work with a card making program.
Can you help me out?
I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a
When I try to print to a custom print size (2.75" x 6" in my case), I get the same error everyone else is reporting: "Paper detected does not match paper size or type selected. Make sure the paper size or type is correct to continue the job."
I am currently trying to print using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5, but I have the same problem with printing from Adobe Reader 9.8.5 or Preview 8.0.
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.
My printer's firmware is "up to date" as of 28-Aug-2014.
This is what I did:
1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. Click on the Printers & Scanners icon.
3. Click on the + sign under the list of printers to add a printer
4. Click on IP
5. Enter my IP address in the Address field (verified as "valid and complete host name or address")
6. Ignore Protocol field (default is Line Printer Daemon - LPD)
7. Ignore Queue field (default is blank for default queue)
8. Ignore Name field (default is IP address)
9. Ignore Location field (default is blank)
10. Under the Use dropdown menu, I select "Select Software"
11. HP Deskjet 9800 is not an option.
I searched for 9800, but there is no HP printer with that number in the options.
I tried selecting "HP DeskJet 980C - Gutenprint v5.2.3" to see if that would work, but I received the same error message as above. I tried selecting other random HP printers, but so far I've had no luck.
I've been googling about for a way to manually add a printer driver to this "Select Software" list, but I've found nothing (apparently, no one else wants to do this). I did not find a driver download for the HP DeskJet 9800 for OS X Yosemite 10.10 on the Drivers & Software section of the hp.com website.

2.98GB .m4v File won't import into iMove 11?
I ripped a family movie off a DVD converted from a VHS tape, using Handbrake into an .m4v file and have tried twice now to import it into iMovie 11 without success. Is there some kind of limit that would make this fail? It starts building a .mov file in the iMove projects directory and I can see the file size increase until the very end (2 hours later) and then it gets deleted. Ugly. What am I doing wrong or are my expectations of iMovie too high?
So after waiting all this time, iMovie simply deleted the file the end without adding it to my event. No error. No joy and almost 13GB.

How can I print a 3 1/2" x 4" photo? The picture is cropped to that size in iPhoto, but when I print it, it comes out much larger.
Sara:
You're going to have to use a 3rd party application for that. iPhoto is geared just for the standard printing sizes. Go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for image editor or print photo. You'll get a number of candidates. Some use Portrait and Prints for customs sizes. I use Photoshop Elements which is also capable of some advanced editing.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
How does one create a photo book of a custom size? Only option available is 11x 8.5 inches
Please help me with the basic steps for creating a photo book in pse12 of a custom size e.g. 12x15
I want to create design using pse12 and get the album printed by a local vendor. Please help. I am stuck with the fixed size offered by Adobe.
I want to create Photoshop photo book in order to spread out few single images on 2 sheets. I won't be able to do the same if I create pages separately.
Thanks in advance.Aha. You can't have two different page sizes in one single document.
You are right, you could do it with three separate documents, and 'glue' them together using a Book document. It's far easier to place a blank placeholder page in your actual document, and create a new doc just for the oversized page.
When the time comes to produce a final file (hopefully, a PDF), you can leave it as is -- two separate documents --, or use Acrobat to stitch the larger page into the main document (at the request of your printer). -
IPod .m4v files improperly sized since upgrade
Just allowed the iTunes-Quicktime update a few days ago.
Purchased Quicktime Pro for producing iPod movies.
I just export my full sized movies (640 X 426)to an iPod movie (.m4v) (320 X 240) File. This has worked for several months until the update.
Since doing the upgrade, the iPod files rendered are the same size as the original file. No matter how I export them the
iPod .m4v files are still 640 X 426. Same as the original.
Thanks for any assistance!Since doing the upgrade, the iPod files rendered are the same size as the original file. No matter how I export them the iPod .m4v files are still 640 X 426. Same as the original.The "Movie to iPod" export option is adaptive delivering either H.264 "LC" or "Baseline" profiles depending on the source "current" display dimensions. If you want to "force" a "Baseline" profile conversion
a) simply open the file in QT Pro,
b) open the "Show Movie Properties" window,
c) highlight the video track,
d) go to the "Visual Settings" tab,
e) enter a width of 320 with "Preserve Aspect Ratio" on and press the tab key to resize your source file, and
f) convert the file as normal using the "Movie to iPod" export option
Or, if you prefer, you can always us the "Movie to Mpeg-4" export option to manually target your export options. -
All .m4v files only import for 1 second (PRE 9/Windows 7)
Hi,
I'm a new PRE 9 user and am experiencing a really significant problem with importing .m4v files: Every .m4v I select ends at the 1-second mark and there does not seem to be any way to make the program see past that 1-second mark in the source file. Other file formats I've tried seem just fine, but most of the source material I want to use is already in .m4v files and have to think that this is some kind of bug.
Does anyone know what's going on here--and, more importantly, how to fix the problem so I can access the entire content of the .m4v files I want to use in PRE 9?
Thanks a lot and take care,
AlanHi Hunt,

Problem printing custom size document
I am trying to print a custom size document (4.4"x7.2") that I created in Microsoft Word. I have set the Page size in Word, tried to create a custom size page in my Printer, and am unable to select this paper size in the properties of my printer (using the control panel). I am at a loss at how to eliminate the "Paper Mismatch" error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (I have two other size papers I need to generate documents for as well...4.4"x6.2" and 4.4"x8.2")
Thanks!kathyfh
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I doubt I will get any thanks for this; some days are just like that. Smiling.
While there are several instances where the Specification Sheet is actually in error and Windows does support Custom sizes for some printer models in a similar printer class, I do believe that in the case of THIS printer model, the specs are correct: Only Mac OS supports Custom paper sizes.
More simply said: You cannot get there from here.
You are likely stuck with the paper sizes supported by the printer as specified in that Spec sheet.
I could not find the necessary file Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X for YOUR printer model that one would expect to see in the How-to Support pages if the "Custom" paper sizes are supported for Windows.
I could be wrong -- I have been wrong before. I do not mind being wrong if it means you get what you need.
If you had something even close to what is allowed, you might be able to select something from the list, adjust the paper in the printer and try to get away with it by adjusting the Printing Preferences.

CS5 & Manage Custom Sizes when printing.
Every time I try to “manage custom sizes” when printing, Photoshop “quits unexpectedly.” I am using Photoshop CS5, and Epson 7800, and Mac Yosemite. I’ve done all the updates, and reinstalled the driver. Any ideas on troubleshooting?
I am having the exact same problem with an Epson 3880. I chatted with Epson support earlier today and they suggested that I uninstall the drivers and support software and reinstall. I followed their instructions and the result was the same. I did save my image file to a TIFF format and then opened it under Preview and when I used file->print and selected "manage custom sizes" it brought up the custom size menu as expected. I also attempted this using Photoshop Elements 11 and the "manage custom sizes" menu appeared only in this case when I selected "Cancel" Elements crashed too.
It is not clear to me how to proceed with kglad's recommendation to "shutdown running processes in a logical manner". I don't know what a logical manner might be.
Anyway, I have just done a complete uninstall of Photoshop CS5 and I'm about to reinstall it from the distribution DVD. I think I'll test the "manage custom sizes" before I install the updates this time.
I'd sure appreciate it if you come up with anything, that you would post it here. Thanks
So, I uninstalled Photoshop 5, restarted my iMac, and reinstalled Photoshop CS5. When I attempted to Manage Custom Sizes, Photoshop CS5 blew up.
I find that I can add custom sizes and manage them from Preview and then use them in Photoshop. So, I guess that will have to suffice until someone comes up with a fix. Given that Photoshop CS5 is no longer supported that will probably be never.
Post here if something better comes along. -
Why do envelopes default to a manual feed, but custom sizes pull from the main paper tray? Can you change which feed type the custom size defaults to?
I have a Lexmark E234n mono laser printer which works just fine. I like to print odd sized stuff, though, like bank deposit slips, envelopes and index cards. Usually, I call up a #10 envelope in Page Setup, and format my page to stay within the actual paper. When I print, the printer defaults to the manual feed slot, and patiently waits for me to insert the envelope.
Today, I got the bright idea to create a custom paper size for 4x6 index cards. Pages formats the page fine, of course. But, when I print, it pulls from the main tray instead of waiting for a manual feed.
Logically, wouldn't most people who make a custom size use the manual feed slot? That is the input method for irregularly shaped items after all, and the main tray is usually filled with normal sized paper.
Any printer-fooling workarounds would be much appreciated!
rcarbaughPeter:
The "where to print" dialog takes place in the print menu, not the page setup. So, even in a template, the print dialog follows the last file printed, rather than any data in the template.
There are a couple of ways to make it happen, but they are "workarounds" for the issue. I can do that, of course; I have been using workarounds since my Mac Plus. The answer I am looking for is why does the printer know when you select an envelope page setup, but not when you select a 4x6 card setup. There is a difference in the page setup, and I would like access to it, if possible.
You may be right, though, about it being in the driver from the printer mfr. If that is the case, there is probably not much hope for a complete solution. It used to do it in my GCC laser, too, if I recall correctly.
Thanks.
