Default poster image for each exported video

Anyone know of a way to change the default "poster image" of each video that is exported to the MobileMe web gallery? The default icons that show up for each movie in my gallery aren't very good and I'd like to change to a different frame if possible. I know you can do this easily for photo albums by setting the key photo but cant find a similar way for videos. Maybe there is a setting in iMovie that I'm missing?

So I wasn't going mad after all - Brightcove's player default is with greyed out image
"the overlay button is standard for all our HTML5 Players and this cannot be changed through the publishing code or the player settings. the main reason for this being there is to indicate the user that it is a clickable image that loads the video. If you wish to replace that image, you would have to implement some custom code that would display the image of your choice above The Brightcove player and add some action to replace the image with the video when it is being clicked. An example of this you can find here:
http://distractedtype.com/test/replaceImage.html
It uses some javascript to make one div with the BC publishing code visible, when the image has been clicked."

How to change background image for each individual page in a template?

I've been working for hours to try to figure out how to change the background image for each individual page in a template. I have tried making a div in the body and adding a CSS and setting a background picture. Unfortunately even after I made it editable all templated webpages changed. I tried looking at different forum results which didn't really help me out. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2670005#2670005#2670005. I've also tried embeding a CSS style on the webpage instead of the external CSS which again didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a good video that explains this clearly. Please help. Thanks.

Adjust inline styles to suit your needs.

Adding A Separate Background Image For Each Menu Item

I asked this in the Spry forum, and not sure I understand the answer. Plus, I should have been more specific in asking how to do it, as I'm still pretty new to this stuff. Nothing I'd found indicated it could be done, or how.
Org question -
I know you can apply a background image to the menu bar items, but is it possible to add a background image for each individual item? What I'm basically trying to keep are the effects (bevel/emboss, etc.,) that I attached to the text, when I created it in PS CS4.
Answer -
Yes you can. The widget is just normal plain html markup so you can just add other classNames or id attributes to the elements. And style the elements through those classes/ids.
Does this mean I'd have to write a new rule for each menu item? What?
Thank you.

Did an Adobe Tutorial for creating/entering a Spry Menu Bar. This is the HTML, after I took out the submenus.
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">

Using Images for each button

I am trying to create a spry menu that has 5 buttons and each button will have 3 different images for each state (something like this http://jjcstudios.com/woof_wallet/ ) I was going to use the insert > navigation bar but I read that this method creates a lot of extra javascript and they recommended using Spry instead. Can anyone point me in a direction to create a clean method of doing java rollovers or modifying the spry menu so it will work as a rollover. thanks john

John,
To place the javascript in an external file, grab the code that is producedon the page
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
function MM_nbGroup(event, grpName) { //v6.0
var i,img,nbArr,args=MM_nbGroup.arguments;
if (event == "init" && args.length > 2) {
    if ((img = MM_findObj(args[2])) != null && !img.MM_init) {
      img.MM_init = true; img.MM_up = args[3]; img.MM_dn = img.src;
      if ((nbArr = document[grpName]) == null) nbArr = document[grpName] = new Array();
      nbArr[nbArr.length] = img;
      for (i=4; i < args.length-1; i+=2) if ((img = MM_findObj(args[i])) != null) {
        if (!img.MM_up) img.MM_up = img.src;
        img.src = img.MM_dn = args[i+1];
        nbArr[nbArr.length] = img;
} else if (event == "over") {
    document.MM_nbOver = nbArr = new Array();
    for (i=1; i < args.length-1; i+=3) if ((img = MM_findObj(args[i])) != null) {
      if (!img.MM_up) img.MM_up = img.src;
      img.src = (img.MM_dn && args[i+2]) ? args[i+2] : ((args[i+1])? args[i+1] : img.MM_up);
      nbArr[nbArr.length] = img;
} else if (event == "out" ) {
    for (i=0; i < document.MM_nbOver.length; i++) {
      img = document.MM_nbOver[i]; img.src = (img.MM_dn) ? img.MM_dn : img.MM_up; }
} else if (event == "down") {
    nbArr = document[grpName];
    if (nbArr)
      for (i=0; i < nbArr.length; i++) { img=nbArr[i]; img.src = img.MM_up; img.MM_dn = 0; }
    document[grpName] = nbArr = new Array();
    for (i=2; i < args.length-1; i+=2) if ((img = MM_findObj(args[i])) != null) {
      if (!img.MM_up) img.MM_up = img.src;
      img.src = img.MM_dn = (args[i+1])? args[i+1] : img.MM_up;
      nbArr[nbArr.length] = img;
and place it in a file called menu.js or similar.
In your page place the following in between the <head></head> tags
<script src="menu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
to link the Javascript.
If you want to put menu.js in a different folder, make sure you adjust the link accordingly, like "js/menu.js"

RAW JPEG PROBLEM I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

Poster image for Brightcove or YouTube link

In my DPS app, I have a video link to the clients Brightcove video cloud. The HTML code is inserted as an HTML object which creates a black panel. Tapping the panel reveals the poster image with the video start arrow in the center, tapping arrow plays the video . It plays no problem.
The black panel is the problem. How can I eliminate that?
Have tried with YouTube embed code, and same effect.
Any ideas gratefully received.

So I wasn't going mad after all - Brightcove's player default is with greyed out image
"the overlay button is standard for all our HTML5 Players and this cannot be changed through the publishing code or the player settings. the main reason for this being there is to indicate the user that it is a clickable image that loads the video.

How to create a background image for each item in a List object

Hello.
I am trying to create a background image that displays whenever a user posts something to a list. For example when a user posts text it would appear in a list. The new item in the list would contain a specific background image with the users text appearing on top of the background image. I do not want a background image for the entire list, rather each item within the list.
I am not sure how clear this is so I added an image below. When a user enters text in and clicks the "post-it" button their text would appear below with the sticky note background.
I am not sure which list type would be best for this problem or how to create insert the image, so I am open to suggestions.
Thank you for your help. Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated!

Hi
the easiest way would be with itemRenderer.
You have to do two things:
1. In your list declaration use a item renderer: <mx:List itemRenderer="myRenderer"/>
2. create a flex component myRenderer that will be the single item. This can be a canvas with a background image and a text field on it.
When you add a new item to the list, a new myRenderer item will be created and the data property will be passed to it. So you have to put "data" in your textField.
If you need more help try looking at Tour de Flex samples, they're pretty easy.

Aperture creating new version of image for each adjustment applied!

To anyone out there who can sort this one out, I will be forever grateful!
Here's the problem. I'll be jamming away in Aperture, adjusting photos like a madman. After adjusting a random number of photos (it usually varies between 5-30 photos or so after starting Aperture each time), the adjustments panel will no longer update when I click on a new image (i.e. it holds the info from the last image I adjusted and will continue to apply new adjustments to that last image even if another image is highlighted). If I switch to the metadata panel and then back to adjustments it will refresh itself and recognize the currently selected image (although I have to do this for EACH image I want to adjust once it starts acting up like this). The BIG problem is that even if I get the adjustments panel to recognize the selected image at this point, for EACH adjustment I apply it makes a new version of the image. For example, if I first change the contrast, it will make Version 2 of the image and select it (which is what it's supposed to do for the first adjustment, because I have "create new versions when making adjustments" checked in my preferences), but if I then make another adjustment like changing the saturation, it makes Version 3 of the image (from the master, so that only the saturation adjustment is applied and not the contrast adjustment). As you can imagine, this utterly destroys my once incredibly efficient Aperture workflow and makes it pretty much impossible to use Aperture for adjustments unless I turn off "create new versions when making adjustments" in the preferences, at which point it does seem to work again (although I've only tried it on a few images, so not 100% sure it will work properly even then). If I restart Aperture (or my computer), it will work normally again for a few pictures and then will start acting up again with the same problem.
Originally I was running into this problem on my PowerBook G4, and so I figured it was just because Aperture didn't like my wussy G4 processor and was acting up when the load got too heavy (after all, the adjustments would work fine for up to 30 images or so). However I recently purchased a sexy iMac 24" 2.8 GHz and maxed out the RAM to 4GB, but I'm still getting the same darned problem with Aperture on my iMac. Yes, I'm using the same library of photos I was using on my PowerBook G4.
This problem has been plaguing me for about 3 months now (everything else in Aperture works fine so I'm still using it to import and organize my photos, I just haven't been able to make adjustments on large groups of pictures for a while), and I've searched and searched these forums countless times to see if anyone has run into similar problems, but I've not seen a single mention of it. I've also tried EVERYTHING mentioned for similar problems (rebuilding library, vacuuming database, erasing com.apple.aperture.plist preference file, repairing permissions, reinstalling Aperture, making burnt offerings to Steve Jobs), and NOTHING is working. ARRGH!!
For those who might have some words of wisdom to offer this delighted-***-miserably frustrated Aperture user, here are a few more details about my setup:
I have a library of about 37,000 photos, the vast majority of them being RAW .CRW files from a Canon 10D. The 25GB library file is stored on my internal hard drive, and all photos are referenced from an external LaCie 500GB FireWire 400 hard drive. I have a LOT of export plug-ins installed in Aperture, but no image adjustment plugins. I have generated previews turned off for all projects. I've had the same problem on both my PowerBook G4 and new iMac 24" 2.8 GHz. One other thing worth mentioning is that instead of upgrading from 2.1 (which was already giving me this problem) to 2.1.2, I downloaded the full version of 2.1.2 and installed it. I noticed that my 2.1 Aperture.app file was less than 100MB, whereas the 2.1.2 Aperture.app file is over 300MB. Don't know if that's normal or not.
The only other thing I can think of to try at this point is to load a new library into Aperture and import a large group of pictures and make adjustments to them to potentially see if my problem is being caused by Aperture or by the library. Will probably try that tomorrow.
I would appreciate any advice or feedback anyone can offer about this nasty little problem, as it's giving me a serious hormonal imbalance.
THANKS!

Thanks for the reply RB, but my current workflow depends on me creating new versions when I make adjustments. I suppose as a temporary solution I will probably have to either turn this preference off or just be willing to constantly restart Aperture. At least I finally found another thread with the same problem, so finally I don't feel completely alone in the far reaches of the Aperture universe. For anyone who is interested, here is the link to that thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8555067
It appears this problem is closely related to the ubiquitous black viewer problem that seems to be plaguing far more users than my issue (although I've run into the black viewer problem a few times myself), as both problems force Aperture to output the following message to Console:
Main Thread Exception in Aperture: * -NSCFArray objectAtIndex:: index (1) beyond bounds (1)
It seems that both of these problems existed in Aperture 1 and 1.5 up until the 1.5.6 upgrade which seems to have fixed it, but then with Aperture 2 the problem seems to have returned. At least that's the gist of what I've been reading on a number of threads. Whatever the case, I hope Apple gets this sorted out in their next update!
As it appears there is no proper answer to this problem at the moment, I'm gonna go ahead and mark this thread answered (and since you were kind enough to at least take the time to reply RB, you can be credited with the answer... thanks!).

APE 10: How to select a frame be the thumbnail for the exported video file?

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and using Windows 7. I create a title and place it as the first clip in the Sceneline. When I export the video and look at the file using Windows Explorer folder view, the thumbnail shown is a frame from another clip and not the clip containing the title. How can I get the title to be used as the thumbnail for exported video files?

Hi Bill, thanks for your thoughts on this.
The file created is indeed the one intended and in the correct folder. When I double-click on the file the video is played and the first thing I see is the title. So the video created has what I expect. Go figure.
I'm starting to think that there might be a Windows setting that determines how Windows Explorer picks the frame to be used as the thumbnail for video files. I have not found any reference to it so far.
Here is some new info...
If I replace the first clip that has the title with another clip, then the thumbnail is created from that first clip. As soon as I add the title as the first clip, then the thumbnail is created from the second clip.
OK ---- I just found information that states that the thumbnails are created by Windows and placed in a file that act as a cache for the thumbnails. This prevents Windows Explorer from generating the thumbnails each time the folder is viewed. In my computer (64-bit Win 7), the thumnail cache files are stored in folder "C:\Users\Ramon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer". They have an extension of ".db". I found the information at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_thumbnail_cache

How to set Logo Image for each Project Site Seperately in project server 2010.

Hi,
I want different logo images to be set for each Project Site of different project Separately in Project server 2010.
Scenario is, we have different Project of different client , each client want different logo for their respective Projects.
How to accomplish this task?
Please Help me.
Thanks

Hello. Store the logo somewhere accessible, either in a library at the PWA site collection or on the project site, make a note of the URL to the site then navigate to the project site and depending on what logo you want to update you can click Site Actions
> Site Settings > title and description then update the image URL there. Alternatively, on the homepage of the project site add an image web part then reference the new logo using the URL. Paul

How do I play a video on a still image - for example - a video playing on a TV screen in a still living room image?

Hi All,
I am just starting to work with video and image and have a question - probably something quite easy but I can't seem to find any tutorials to show me how.
Basically I want to have a video playing on a still image - for example a tv screen in a living room.
I am currently struggling to find out how to resize the video to the exact angle of the screen. I can get it playing but at the dimensions of the original video but can't seem to find out how to adjust the video to be sized at the angle the tv is sat at?
Any help would be appreciated.

An Opacity Mask plus Corner Pin is what I would use.
I like when an "insert" comes from behind the matte... and also ....this way allows feathering of the edges.

Default "First" Page for each Folder

Following on from Rick's note if I may...
Similar question: My file contains numerous folders, the
inital one of each has a page with a "departmental - overview".
What I have for each Folder - eg. Finance - is a page
containing this "overview" - like a "title" page, below this are
the sub-folders for each aspect of that Dept. eg Job Descriptions,
Processes ....
So - when you create the TOC, is there a way that you can get
the "overview" listed first, and under that, the sub-folders,
rather than this overview being detailed below the folders....
Does this make sense???
Al

By folder, it sounds like you mean Book in the TOC. Right
click the book and link it to any topic.
If you also created a printed output, by default you will get
the topic twice, once with the book and once in its own right.
