Easy way to create freeze-frame in CS4

I've tried following the help instructions in PPro CS4 to make a 10" freeze-frame of the last frame in a sequence, but it seems rather complicated and to be honest I haven't got it to work for me. Avid has a dedicated command for this function which is very easy to use.
I only was able to get it to work by exporting a still of the last frame and then reimporting it into my project.
Is there an easier way of doing this please?
Chris

There is Frame Hold, and the Help File has pretty good coverage of the ins-and-outs.
Personally, for most of my Freeze Frames, I use your workflow, and just Export/Import.
Note: things changed with CS4, and got complicated, until about the CS4.2 update. I think that the updates are up to CS4.3. If you have not updated to at least CS4.2, I would do that.
While I am not a fan of a "big button" solution, I think that having such for Export Still Frame, and then automatically (via a toggle ON, or OFF) Importing into the Project would be a good one. In earlier versions of PrPro, things were easier. I use the Export/Import Still more for creating Menu animations for use in Encore, rather than traditional Freeze Frames, but feel that things could be much easier, than they are, even with the updates.
Good luck,
Hunt

    Thank you very much. The last one youve send me looks the most what i have in mind. With some thumbnails and when you click on it you see a larger document.
    But it doesnt fit quite in the style of the site. You have an other example for me?

  • Is there an easy way to create 2 page imposed PDFs with a background?

    I have figured out a way to create a suitable imposed single page PDF using the 'import as layer' action, the action only understands a single paged background PDF.
    In other words, I have a PDF that has the suitable marks on it with the pages marked 'Page 1' & 'Page 2'. This is the background PDF.
    I open this PDF in Acrobat and run the action that places another PDF (the 'Source' PDF) on multiple layers with different offsets.
    The original (template) PDF is 2 pages & the Source PDF for imposition is 2 pages, and even though the 'import as layer' understands that the source PDF being imposed is 2 pages, it does not seem to allow the original (template) PDF to be seen as 2 pages.
    There is a 'Target page number' option in the Preview area, but that is grayed out at 1.
    So...other than commercial applications, is there an easy way to build a 2 page PDF imposition file??
    Maybe a script?

    Sabian,
    Yes, the Quite software would be perfect, especially the 'Hot'. Tested & works great for us, but the price tag for the 'Hot' is rather steep for our relatively simple process......background template with a 'step & repeat' of the 'live' document.
    As I mentioned in the original post, to do this with a single page PDF is simple enough using an action that places the 'live' doc multiple times, but the vast majority of our publications are 2 pages.
    Currently runing the action twice for each job. I would save a bit of time if this could be automated to do both sides with one action, or one script.

  • How do I export a freeze frame in CS4?

    There's no longer an "Export/Frame" menu option in CS4 (as there was in CS3).
    How can I export a simple freeze frame from Premiere into another editing program, such as Photoshop?
    Thanks.

    I've torn out half my hair trying to answer the same question.  I think I have an answer and it had nothing to do with the many hours I've spent in Adobe's help and Forum to get an answer.  I had to figure it out myself.
    Here it is:  Because CS4 handles HD video, they don't export straight to JPEG.  They export to TIFF which is higher resolution than JPEG.  That's my guess, anyway.  To export a frame grab, go to FILE>EXPORT>MEDIA.  On the top right side of the window in the Format box, click the down arrow to open the list and select TIFF.  Click Okay.
    Another box will open up.  This is the Adobe Media Encoder window.  Yeah it's new to me too.
    The file you are trying to export should show up in the box with all it's wonderful detail including where you want it to go.  If you want to change the name of the exported frame, click on the 'Output File' portion of the detail and a 'Save As' window will pop up and you can rename the file.  Otherwise, CS4 will give it a generic name for you and you'll have to go find it.
    When you get done click 'Okay' and it takes you back to the Media Encoder window.  From there click on 'Start Que' and the file gets saved.  Click on the upper right X and the Media Encoder window closes.  There is no 'Done' or 'Close' button that I can find.
    Somehow I got my file to save as a JPEG the first time but I'm unable to duplicate my steps now, so just know that it can be done and be willing to experiment a little from here.  If you click on Add, it offers the JPEG format but it's trying to OPEN a file instead of SAVE.  I'll have to keep working on that part.
    I hope this helps.  These turkeys at Adobe should hire me as a troubleshooter and manual writer - I spend a lot of time trying to figure out things they don't document in the manual or help files.  As for the Forum - they can stuff that, it's useless.   This should be an exquisitely simple task - we all do frame grabs.  But they've made it into a monstrous chore.

  • Is there an easy way to create or import tables into muse

    I'm trying to create a website that used tables for things like league tables and results, but I need an easy way of placing them into muse.
    I've had a go at creating tables in dreamweaver and importing the resulting html and i've created tables in Indesign and imported them as jpegs, but this obviously then does not allow me to edit on the fly.
    Can anybody help.

    well I've since found out that CS5.5 exports pages from indesign to html, but the link I was reading about CS6 was as follows:

    I tried exporting a table from 5.5 but it doesn't seem to recognise the specific column spaces I have set up, hopefully 6 will have improved on this.
    We hope so. From my experience with indesign cs5.5. The export to HTML feature does not maintain the layout of an indesign document. You will require a developer with knowledge of HTML to style accordingingly in DW. I don't think this is an intended workflow by Adobe. Until then I dont think Muse or Indesign will export to HTML while maintaining the integrity of the layout design including adaptive fluid layout support. The closest the Adobe team have been able to do is to export to epub format.
    My observation, Adobe should have given print designers option of exporting indesign files to Muse(With support for fluid/adaptive layout just as the export to epub format is supported). That way the fear of killing another tool in the Adobe bouquet won't arise. Something like 'Export to Muse' in Indesign cs6 would have been the killer. Why? Web design trend is converging with print design metaphor. I think Adobe should be leading that trend now. Tomorrow might be too crowded.

  • Is there an easy way to create breadcrumbs in Muse?

    I'm creating a new site and I want to add some breadcrumb navigation links, in addition to using the Menu Bar widget.
    Is there an easy way to build breadcrumb links? Or do I just create them manually?

    I got these ones for free when they were first released Adobe Muse SEO Breadcrumbs Widget You have to enter each breadcrumb which is annoying, but they're pretty easy to use. They also use schema markup which is something that no one has paid attention to. Google already noticed them in a search for my site

  • Best way to create placeholder frames for XML import

    This is my first attempt at importing XML into ID (CS2), my client has given me an Access database that includes about 150 records that include several fields of data, including an image file and a few brief paragraphs of descriptive text.
    The goal is to have each record occupy a page in the layout.
    My goal is to set up one initial page with a placeholder frame or frames and have ID automatically duplicate for all the records. And that's my question...do I create multiple frames, one for each field in the database, or do I create one frame and just tag various elements within the single frame?
    If I create multiple frames, I'm thinking I would have to copy/paste the group onto each new page (or am I wrong?)
    If I create one single master frame, then InDesign would just consider all the content one story and automatically create as many threaded frames as are needed--right?
    The other consideration is that the field containing the descriptive text will vary in length with each record and I want to make sure that there aren't inconsistent spacing issues happening, as would probably be the case if I created a unique frame for the descriptive text.
    I hope I'm being clear...would somebody who's done this type of thing before please advise me on the best way to set up my placeholders?
    Thanks so much.

    Hi,
    You can use Web Dynpro or Visual Composer for designing UI for your CA.
    1) WebDynPro Callable Object that implements GP Interface.
    You can use Web Dynpro Component CO to use a single Web Dynpro component in your GP Activity.
    4) Create a WebDynPro Application Callable Object :This is for entire Web Dynpro Application(multiple components).
    2) Consume the Application services(exposed as web services) in WebDynPro app :
    3) Creating a WebDynPro Model for the CAF Services.
    For example, in updating operations first we have to get the existing data from Database.For getting this data you can use application services in your Web Dynpro component.Later expose this WD component as CO insert in a GP activity.
    For creating operations, you can use Web Service CO(Application Service)  directly in GP Activity.
    These links are useful for you.

  • Best way to create a frame around an image

    I'm not sure what to use to create a frame of different shapes (I can do it with tubes in Paint Shop Pro but want to figure it out in Adobe) around an image and then give the image in that frame a fuzzy or old-fashioned look. I have the CS4 Master Collection so if anyone can point me to a tutorial for a product in the suite to do that I would greatkly appreciate it.
    Thanks very much!

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean a soft vignette, something like this:
    If so, then here's what I did.
    I started with a screen capture of your post, so I'd have something to use for an image.
    From the vector shapes tool, I selected the star shape. It's usually a rectangle, but you might prefer an ellipse.
    In the Properties panel at the bottom, I set the Edge to Feather and set the value to 25 pixels.
    I set the color of the star shape to white.
    I selected the shape and the image then went to menu Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. The vector shape acts like a fancy stencil. Where it's white, the masked image shows through. Where the mask is transparent (or black) the underlying image will be transparent. Intermediate values of transparency (or grey) in the mask will produce intermediate values of transparency in the masked image.
    I set the canvas color to dark blue, so you can see how the image is now faded with the mask. You might prefer a white canvas.
    The image is a Fireworks .png, so if you copy it to your computer, you can open it and see how it works. I have an extra copy of the image and star (non-visible), so you can see the two individual parts.
    If that isn't what you want, can you link to or post an example? Use the Insert Image control to add an image to your post. It's the camera icon to the left of the smilie.

  • Easy way to create an Org Chart in AppleWorks?

    I have used MS PowerPoint to create and maintain Org charts in the past. I see that the Presentation piece of AppleWorks has similar functionality to PowerPoint.

    If, by the "hard way", you mean "manually", then with AppleWorks, yes.

  • What is the easy way to create a crossword with InDesign CS5 for a interactive pdf?

    I mean I want to create a pdf magazine and i like to include a crossword. I read somewhere that one way is create a crossword with an external software and include it in the ID project but I don't know any crossword software and if I add in my ID project, I only need to export like a interactive pdf? I would like that the users can use the crossword in online version.
    Regards from Lima, Perú

    Hi.
    I'm not sure about what to you mean. But I create first the crossword with Excel, I mean to put the words in the right order and the questions and/or cue too. Then I create a table in InDesign and format some cells with black background and some borders. I upload both captures, from Excel and from InDesigne. Then with Adobe X Pro I create a form, so I can create singles inputs for the crossword.
    I hope i understand your question.

    Using Automator, you can export some of the infoemation to a tab delimited file which Excel can open.

  • Easier way to create All-Day Events?

    Creating an All-Day Event seems a little cumbersome to me and I was wondering if I was missing something. Is there a way to create an All-Day Event from scratch, meaning keyboard command/menu item? The only way I can find is to create a timed event, then mark it an All-Day Event with an extra step. I know you can click inside the Event section of the day in Week view, but if the day you are working on has the most All-Day entries, there is no place to click.
    There is a command for New Event. Why not All-Day Event? I am sure I missing something, but I have searched the Help menus and support groups and cannot find a way to do it.
    Thanks,
    whardy7

    Yes, I have. That is quite obvious. But, what do you do when there is already one there? That one takes up the empty space for double-clicking. If a different day has 2 events, you get lucky. In that case, there is empty space because the All-Day Events box grows to accommodate the highest number of All-Day Events for that given week.
    Let me ask my question again. Once the All-Day Events box is full (which is dependent on the day with the most events - could be 1 event, 2 events, etc.), how do you add an All-Day Event? It seems there is no way. You have to create a timed event, then convert it. If your timed area is already full of events, that can be really tricky.
    I hope that is clearer.

  • Easy way to create DVDs from several hrs of short video clips frm digicams?

    Didn't know which group to post this to. It's a 'consumer' need but I need expert insights. I have several years of video clips in iPhoto, taken on consumer digicams and iPhone. I want an EASY way to get these strung together for burning to DVD primarily as my fail-safe backup since I don't want to trust hard-drive backups for this important family footage. I'd really like some kind of batch program or drag and drop so I can just select a bunch of files, either from the file system directly, or in iPhoto, doesn't matter to me, and shazam the program ideally knows how much can fit on a DVD, strings them together, and burns. I don't need transitions or any custom arrangement of the clips. I can know their chronology from file dates so that is close enough. I have Final Cut Express if that helps. I'm willing to spend up to $100 or so if necessary. I can also write shell scripts or Apple Script if that helps. Thanks!

    I want an EASY way to get these strung together for burning to DVD primarily as my fail-safe backup since I don't want to trust hard-drive backups for this important family footage.
    What you really want to be doing is backing up the your iPhoto Library file located in your Pictures folder in your .
    I recommend an external hard drive, but if you really want to use DVDs there are applications (like Toast) that can span across multiple DVDs.

  • What are easy ways to create these effects or graphics?

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a logo for a new business whose product is electronic cleaning cloths for iPads, computer monitors, or most things digital.
    Therefore, I am trying to find out ways of creating motifs or design elements, parts of which I might incorporate in the logo. Thus, I would like to know how to create the following digital looks. There are a lot of questions here. I don't expect anyone to answer them all, just what you comfortably know and whatever is convenient for you to spare a few minutes to explain and/or show.
    Thanks!  : )
    1. How can I create lines like these that glow?
    2. How do I create the "stitching" or dotted line pattern in the circles and rectangle below.
    3. How do I create the circuitry lines with their circlular terminals (or do I just use pen tool in Illustrator CS5?
    4. Finally, how can I create these circuitry lines and shapes?

    A word of caution here.  Yes, all of the effects you are showing can be done, either in Photoshop or Illustrator.  I'm thinking gradient mesh and blends for the glows.  A dotted line could be created in the stroke palette.  But, just because you can do it, doesn't mean you do it.  Logos are typically very basic so they can be implemented across a large area of application ( i.e., signs, vehicle graphics, letterhead and stationery, advertising, and internet applications ).  If you were to create a sophisticated graphic effect, it would not hold-up in all of the potential uses and surely would not be rendered consistently.  You will get vendor's who complain about this or that regarding your artwork.  Try to think basic lines in Black and White that could easily be reproduced on an office copier.  Later on, you can use the basic logo in a more sophisticated application where it would be appropriate.
