i would love to get firewire, ha. i just didn't have the budget for it when purchased. I'm hoping that if i can get them transferred to FW drives i can edit them if they're playback is real low quality, but if not i'll have to recompress. thanks for the input!

    All the info you do with your image files is stored in the Lightroom Catalog file. The Catalog file cannot be located on a network it must have a physical connection to the computer.
    While the Catalog is in use a LOCK file will be temporarily placed alongside which prevents its use by any other device.

  • How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one

    How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one. how do you do this in adobe flash cs5? The file i edited is entirely too large

    click file/publish settings/html and use the quality settings dropdown.
    if that doesn't lead to satisfactory file size, you may need to check the properties of each bitmap in the library to see if it's set to over-ride the global settings.

  • Illustrator CS2 Student Edition Stuck On Computer

    I'm a windows XP user and I installed Illustrator CS2 (student edition) on my computer years ago while I was a student. The software no longer works and doesn't start up.  When I try to uninstall the software using the XP utility or repair the software using the original disc I get the following error message:
    The window was interrupted before Adobe Illustrator CS2 could be completely installed. Your system cannot be modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.
    I tried again with the firewall and anitivirus turned off, with no luck.
    Same thing is happening with my Photoshop CS2. Any ideas???

    Naja ich kanns starten, also daran wirds denk ich nicht liegen.

  • Installed Digital Edition on the computer but it does not recognize the Nook HD when I plug it in and open Adobe....how can I transfer a book from computer to Nook if it doesn't recognize it....?

  • Can I save a project on a flash drive with the videos that are in the project and edit on any computer with premiere pro?

    I am trying to edit a home and school and need to edit all the time. Can i save my project file on my flash drive with all the videos and use the flash drive for editing on any computer?

    IF all computers are on the exact same build of PrPro. Understand of course that if everything of the project is on one flashdrive, performance in playback & etc. with much in the way of effects or tons of cuts is going to be ... s l o w . But perhaps doable on say a school project, which probably doesn't have the total assets of say a season-length tv sitcom.

  • Editing ProRes material on G4...

    Hello...
    I need to edit ProRes material on my dual 1Gig G4... 1Gb RAM... have Final cut 6... only have Firewire hard drives (400/800) on which to put the ProRes footage. Only need to edit on my cinema display - don't need to output to an HD monitor. Will my system cope?!
    I'd usually try to find the answer elsewhere, but I'm up to my eyes in work right now and don't have the time to Google this!!!

    Umm, do yourself a huge favor and install it on a NEW harddrive or clone your current drive.
    I've got a 2004 Quicksilver 1 gig Dualie with 1.5 gigs of ram and the ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Pro Edition, 256 megs of Vram.
    FCP WOULD NOT launch. Motion 3 would launch but then would sit like a mule. DVD Studio Pro would launch and any movement of the mouse would result in the spinning beachball.
    Save yourself the trouble and don't bother but if you must, install on a new drive or clone your current system drive as you'll be wanting it back in a hurry.
    Plus I think ProRes needs a G5 proc, don't it?

    Yes.

    You have a permanent serial number from when you did this the first time and that is all that is required.

  • PSE7 is not saving the edits I make to my pictures

    I'm working in the Editor and I am saving the edits I make as a jpeg file.  I then go back to Organizer and my edits were not saved.
    Any ideas why this might be happening?

    Usually, File->Catalog->Repair and Optimize will fix the problem for future edits

  • HELP! I just downloaded pics from my Canon 7D to i photo. I was near the end of editing and the computer froze (started spinning). I forced a restart and went I got back to iPhoto all my work was gone. Any suggestions?

    HELP! I just downloaded pics from my Canon 7D to i photo. I was near the end of editing and the computer froze (started spinning). I forced a restart and went I got back to iPhoto all my work was gone. Any suggestions?

    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    Try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • I don't want soundtrack in iMovie to mimic edits I make in footage

    Hello,
    I'm using iMovie 11 v. 9.0.4.
    I'm creating a complex slideshow to go along with a complex soundtrack. I have the audio separated from the photos, but every time I make some sort of edit in the photos, an edit is likewise made in the audio soundtrack. I would like the soundtrack to just sit there and not mimic the edits I make in the photos. Is there a way to accomplish this?
    Thanks for your help!
    -alex.

    1. You can not trim off the part of the title where it fades in or out.
    Yes you can using a application like QT Pro ($30) or MPEG Streamclip (free). (I.e., "EXTERNALLY" as stated above.)
    2. I am going to need to overlay a png picture over a video, which I don't believe I can do in iMovie HD.
    But you can with iMovie '08 as per response to your original post.
