Cutting to new layers

I am selecting items and want to move, scale, and change the color of the items.
1. Is the best way to do this to cut them to new layers after selecting them?
2. When would you want to copy them to a new layer while leaving the original on the image?
Thanks!

There exists nothing like a Master Page Layer as Layers are document wide.
A single word cannot be on a different layer than the rest of the text.
Why are you covering the whole page with a button? Make the button on areas where nothing else is placed. Anything else makes no sense. And what do you want to achieve to have these buttons? To move forward to the next slide? For that you need no button, as many functions will cause to show the next page or previous page as PDF built in functionality.

Please help ! Can I cut-off New G/L migration date during fiscal year ?

Dear Experts
I know that the principles of migration date of New G/L migration should be on first day of fiscal year and Year-end closing of the old fiscal year must be complete before New General Ledger Accounting is activated.
However, if I need, can I cut-off new G/L migration date during fiscal year before year-end closing ? And Which points should be concern.
Best regards,
Suphawat

Hi,
First you should have installed the cockpit., you should have completed the testing and migrated the transports before the end of the Fiscal year which is 31st March in your case. Depending on the scenario, this will take 20 - 40 days.
You can begin the migration once your year end activity is performed.
If you have not installed the cockpit and completed the configuration and tested it.. forget it for this year, do it next year.
Hope this is clear now.

Can I set a "default color" for new layers?

I find myself constantly changing the color of new layers back to my favorite: Magenta. Is there a way to just make this the default new layer color?
I understand the reasoning of using different colors for each layer, but so many standard colors do not preview well, with the artwork, I find them useless. I'd just as soon use one color.

I have a hotkey for an action creating a new layer but unfortunately the layer color option cannot be recorded in the action. What I do is create a bunch of layers I would eventually need, select all of them in the Layers panel and double click on the selection to open the options dialog where I can change the layer color for all at once.

How to create new layers in captivate?

Hi,
how to create new layers in captivate's timeline?
Regards,
krishnaraj

Hi krishnaraj
Sounds like you may be expecting Captivate to work
identically to Flash. Sorry my friend, it doesn't work this way.
For starters, notice that Captivate uses slides.
Each slide has its own timeline. So what you see in the timeline
area is not for the whole movie.
As you add objects (Buttons, Click Boxes, Images, Rollover
Areas, Etc.) the object is placed on the timeline and assumes what
you are referring to as a layer. You then control which object is
in front of another object by its relative position in the layer.
This is called the "Stacking Order".
Hopefully this helps... Rick

How to add New Layers...?

Well, I recently went out and bought myself the new version
of Dreamweaver CS3. Never used it in my life, so I'm pretty new to
it. Um, starting out to create my first website, but currently at a
road block. My question is, how to I add new layers in CS3? Here's
the background information:
...I wanted to enter a text (which would later be turned into
a link) on a image that I inserted. Somehow, I'm having problems
inserting the text ON the image. Some users on other forums
recommended me to add the image in a table, then add new layers on
top of it, or I think that's what they meant. I've used Photoshop
before, and adding new layers in that program is more easier than
Dreamweaver, or I'm a little slow... :)
And I guess it wouldn't hurt asking this question one more
time: How do we add texts on an image? What is the recommended way,
and how should I go on doing so? And the last question is
important. Don't tell me what I should do, tell me HOW I should do
it...
...Thanks in advance! :)

99jon, thank you very much for your help! It worked like a charm.
Now that I've been playing around a bit more, I've come across another question. This time it has to do with the color replacement tool. I've been using the eyedropper (color picker tool) to get the color I want use in the replacement. I've happened upon a situation where I can't get the color I need in the right place. It's when I try to "tint" the windows on a vehicle. I use the eyedropper to pick the blackest area on the photo (above the front passenger tire), but when I apply it to the window, I can only get a light grey to apprear, not black.
Here's the screen shot of the passenger window after I have applied the "black tint". Is there a way to get the tint darker using the color replacement tool, or do I have to do some layering??
Thanks again for any help.
Glen.

Cutting into new clips without using " Transition effects"

What is the best way to cut into new clips in a smooth fashion without having to use a Cross Dissolve, etc. I am trying to create a more matter of fact experience with this project.
TV productions successfully go from clip to clip without transitions.... What magic is behind solid swithcing between clips in the timeline without using transitions ?
Thanks !

I have just noticed that you are talking about rescuing a current project.
My comments about cutaways still apply, but whether you will be able to shoot some "extra" footage now will depend on the nature of your film. Most things are possible with a little ingenuity.
If your film was about the first Mars landings and you can't get there to re-shoot, all you need to do is to take a trip to Australia where they have some scenery EXACTLY like the Martian landscape - indeed there is a classified US base on the edge of it!
Alternatively, and cheaper, you could shoot domestic footage and whenever the astronaut was about to have a jump-cut, you could have a flashback to his home life.
So with a little imagination most problems usually can be overcome.

PS.I do NOT subscribe to conspiracy theories and would never suggest that the martian landscapes NASA filmed were actually shot in the antipodes.

Layer Overides lost when new layers added to linked AI file

OK, so I'm working on complex site plans. 3-4 alternate designs each with different phases. It actually all setup well in Illustrator so turning on and off the right set of layers gives the desired view for everything I need. The problem was that when I make changes, I had to keep manually switching layers around, export scene, switch layers again, and repeat over and over.
The reason each phase doesn't stand on its own is that there are a lot of shared elements and I only want to have to update it one place, vs. multiple copies. Illustrator doesn't seem o have layer comps like Photoshop, but I fond that I could get pretty much what I wanted by placing the file in Illustrator and using import options to set layer override. Now when I update everything is great, Just go to ID file and say export to jpgs.
So now to the problem. When I add a layer to my Illustrator file (lets say for new design option) InDesign says something like layers changed, I'm going to throw away all of your layer overrides. This is not good. Why can't it just ask me if I want all new layers on, off, or better yet bring up those layers like original import and let me decide for each instance what I want to do with them.
So as is once it throws away my layer overrides, I've found that you can't directly add back layer overrides. It only allows this at import. So I have to re-import the file (20 times - once for each page) and manually re-set all of the layers overrides. If I have old link selected when I replace it then at least it is correctly located, but still a pain.
So I guess good work practice when I know I'm going to do this is to add an extra 10 place holder top level layers. Then they will be their waiting when I need them, but just won't be able to re-name them.
I assume maybe InDesign has same issue with Photoshop Layer override, but at least there I could setup named Layer Comps which would solve this problem (assuming that layer comps addresses added layers better).

I use this all the time for packaging proofing (I send out a proof page with two examples of the art, one with just the artwork layers showing and a smaller thumbnail with no art but the dieline, windows and opaque white printer showing)
To speed things up with Object Layer Options, I set a keyboard shortcut and turn the display performance way down.
I don't think it would help in your situation, but grouping layers in AI makes any changes you make to that set of layers in AI "invisible" to InD, so it doesn't scrap your layer overides, but it also means you have no ability to do anything in InD except turn on or off the entire layer group.

New Imac/New Final Cut Ex/New JVC Hard Disc Camcorder no bueno!!!!

New Imac/New Final Cut Ex/New JVC Hard Disc Camcorder
Please help me. I have been editing on a tiny little pc, and finally made the switch. Now, I can't access any of my videos, can't edit or even open the files. If all the files are moi or mod, what does final cut express need to open the files? How do I go about converting them? Such a big powerful machine, such limited accessibility!
Thanks!

FCE4 on an Intel Mac can only edit DV, HDV and AVCHD video.
All other formats will not work.
You will have to download an app like Streamclip to convert your non-standard files to DV.

Animation question: when adding new layers...

Using CS5. Let's say I have 9 layers in my Photoshop document, and I've successfully created an animation by making some layers visible in some frames and not others. (When making the animation, I'm using the frame view, not the timeline view.) Now let's say that for some reason, I need to add a new layer, perhaps to make the animation look better or to add some missing text. When I add the new layer (call it layer #10), this new layer becomes visible on every single one of the animation frames, and I have to go back to every single frame and remove the new layer #10 from showing. Question: is there a way to avoid this? My goal is to be able to add a new layer without it showing up on every single animation frame I've already finished.

In the animation flyout menu, uncheck New Layers Visible in All Frames.

New layers from line sections?

If I have an outline on a transparent background, perhaps like a bunny, with the outer line and internal lines defining sections. I want to make new layers out of those sections filled in, different layers for each section. The way I've been doing it so far is to create a new layer, then either fill over the area and erase what isn't in the section I want, or else draw over the outline of the section and flood fill it in. Either way this takes a long time. I tried filling in the section with flood fill, using magic selection, and make new layer from copy, but the problem becomes that the edges of the inner section aren't right to the edge of the line and this is visible with what I'm filling with (often solid colors), which is why I drew over the edges on another layer because I can place the outline on top and the underside isn't seen.
Is there a faster way to do this?

Outline starts like this:
Goes to this, with each color on a separate layer:
The yellow layer looks like this:
The whole thing looks like this when finished, colors still on separate layers:

Updated Illustrator file is ignoring new Layers & content

I've been trying to create a new Flash Catalyst CS5 project based on on an Illustrator CS5 file that I have previously used for a Flash Catalyst project. However, I've added new layers as well as new objects to existing layers. On import (into a totally new project), Flash Catalyst is completely ignoring the new layers and objects, but it is updating the changes that have been made to the objects it knew about in the previous project with this Illustrator file...
Anyone come across this before? Any suggestions for a workaround? I've tried restarting Flash Catalyst, resaving the Illustrator file, creating a new unrelated Flash Catalyst file, but with no result. I'll try a reboot and failing that, see if I can locate what passes for temporary files for Flash Catalyst... and get busy with the delete button.

I've finally come up with a solution - it seems that Flash Catalyst and Illustrator were doing something behind the scenes together. I had to copy the new assets out into a new Illustrator file and then import from that!!!! Pretty big bug.

Unable to make new layers. . . Help needed

First of all, I know how to use Photoshop. I know how to lose layers and how to make new ones. Somehow my layers panel is not allowing me to create any new layers and I can't figure out why. The entire layers panel seems to be deactivated and I don't know how to fix it. If anyone can be of assistance, I'd very much appreciate it. I can provide screen shots if needed.

How to update final cut pro newer version?

How to update final cut pro newer version?

Do you have Final Cut Pro X? (To check, go to the menu bar and click Final Cut Pro > About). If you don't have version 10 (X) I don't think you can update it any way other than buying it from the Mac App Store, which requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later.
It's currently $300 on the Mac App Store, which is an enormous drop from what it used to be.

Dropping on Premise AD for Azure AD post exch/lync offsite migration clean cut to new AD or Azure AD or both

Here is the scenario:
The current customer Domain as been active since NT, and has seen every version of Exchange.
The domain has also had multiple admins, each who gave it their 'golden' touch. (Not a good thing, because the majority of them it appears had no clue what they were doing).
The domain supports 14 users.
Exchange and Lync have been moved off premise to a hosting provider. Exchange, Lync, CAS, Edge, Mediation have been sucsufully demoted and decom'd.
The network (AD) which because of a very complex, and 'tweaked' infrastructure is very problematic and time consuming to manage. It appears nothing of value outside of login security is being used, including no wsus, no GP, etc.
The only items the network supports now outside of VERY basic FSMO ops (very like 'everyone' s allowed access to everyone's everything (yikes) is a SQL server using a shared folder old net application, a file server and an iis server. (IIS does NOT support
their current domain name/role) Outside of server roles, AD is doing nothing with those servers. AD NEEDS to be doing what it was intended to do, but whenever something is changed, everything blows up. For example, I created a new group container,
nothing else, and a single shared folder stopped working, and two users were disconnected, nothing in the log files. Or a user who enters a password incorrectly three times is locked out. The admin unlocks the account which locks three other accounts.
Nothing in the log except a basic user locked out message. Like I said it's HOSED!
Originally my thought was to spin up a new DC for them, with a new/different domain (internal named) for their small office and do a clean cut. Set up AD the way I want to that will benefit them with proper security, file shares, etc.
Question 1) What are your thoughts about this being a fix for a small office? If its a bad idea, why?
Question 2) Why not spin up AD in Azure instead of locally, or do they need a local AD syncing with Azure AD?
What is the best course of action that will bring them the most benefit over the next few years?

Hi,
For the issue about windows azure AD, i would suggest you may ask in:
