Editing Video - Color and other

Hello,
I am unsure between between Sony Vegas and Premiere for Vido Editing. I found in Vegas that you can change colors and make some other video editing to each video clip so it looks better. Can we do something similar in Premiere. I had the Premiere 6 trial version some months ago and I could not find that.
Thanks for the comments,
Jorge

There is a whole collection of color adjustment effects in Premiere Elements, Jorge. Look in the Effects/Video Effects/Adjust folder.

My complaints and Questions MP4 M4V video files and other complaints
I have been scratching my head as to how to fix my problem and I found some answers and some questions along the way. First of all, I have a video that should be correctly formatted for my iPod. Its specs are:

Wow that was a chore. Apple! Let us drag copy and paste our info tabs information so we don’t have to type all this stuff when we are having trouble. **another problem and suggestion** right there.
Ok, back to the problem of the forum.
From what I can see from http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html this file falls in line of everything required in order to be able to play on my iPod. It plays in iTunes fine but will NOT sync with my iPod. I get an annoying message that states, “Some of the Songs and videos in your iTunes library, including “BlaBlaBlaiPondFixYourJunkBlaBlaBla”, were not copied to the iPod “My iPod” because they cannot be played on this iPod.” Why oh why can iTunes play this video file but my iPod cant. Especially when the specs on Apple’s website say it can.
So that was bugging me for a LONG time until I found my “Create iPod or iPhone version” option in the “Advanced” heading. Thank goodness this made my files playable on my iPod. Extremely LONG wait though. I know that other programs convert it in ½ the time. But times not to important as long as it gets done, (would be very convenient if it was faster though **Problem and suggestion**)
Ok, now that I have used the “Create iPod or iPhone version” option it has slowly but surly converted my video. Ok, here is my main problem, the new file which is the result of the conversions information is as follows:
Kind: MPEG-4 video file

C:\File\WhyIsThisNewFileInMyMusicFolder\TheMovieFileInQuestion.m4v
So basically it has made my file bigger *not a bonus in my book* greatly increased my Bit Rate *another interesting feature*, and I think the biggest change it has changed it from an .mp4 to an m4v.
Why does it need to be an .m4v I could have sworn some of my videos were or are in mp4 which shouldn’t matter anyway because I was under the impression that iPods could play mp4 files. So that’s my biggest complaint and question. Why can my 80GB classic iPod not play my MP4 files and why am I forced to convert them??
This conversion also creates 2 files in iTunes when I am done which is annoying because I have to go into my files info and look to see what file is the mp3 in order to remove it. Very annoying I can open my iPod options and see the files and some are faded (the ones it can not play) why can’t I remove them from that area.Suggestion Apple please make files that cannot be played on my iPod stand out some how for easier cleaning Suggestion. Thank you.
Speaking of cleaning iPods, when I moved my entire library to an external drive I was faced with a terrible problem. “This file could not be found, would you like to locate file”, I was faced with this annoying message at least 600 times. Now I am glad that iTunes has a little “!” mark to show dead links so that you do some minor cleaning, Good Job iTunes No compliant there. However iTunes has no way of selecting all the broken files for major cleaning (like in my case). Going through and deleting over 600 files 1 by 1 is extremely time consuming and annoying. **Suggestion Apple please add more cleaning features for organizing iTunes**.
Ok, speaking of organization now, another problem that appeared when converting my video files was that it put my new videos into the location where I have all my songs (my external hard drive) why can’t it put the new files in the locations of the original file? I have my computer highly organized and my original files were in that drive in that folder for a reason. If I could open my original file and skip the conversion, my iTunes would go to that specific folder to access the file which is fine. But now these new conversion files are elsewhere taking up space and disorganizing my computer. True I can go into the new location and move the files to where I want them (original location) but I don’t think I should have to hunt them down, copy, move, delete ect etc for all these files over and over. Very annoying, time consuming and should be unnecessary. **Suggestion Make file creation and location more customizable, and user friendly, your customers will love you for it**.
Well since I have gotten into Apples iTunes and iPod problems that I have had to face I might as well bring up one or two more problems and suggestions. About a month after purchasing my iPod a sibling bought one as well. His however is way more convenient then mine. I suppose he has a 5th gen. so here is my question: why does he have a search option and I don’t!!!! Why does he get more features every so often and I don’t?! Why can’t Apple write some software for us classic guys which got the iPods going! It’s very annoying when I have to spend more time looking for the song then I spend actually listening to it, when he can pull his up in like 3-6 seconds? I highly doubt the hardware between our iPods is that dissimilar and even if they are why cant software be written for us. **Suggestion treat all your customers good not just the newer ones, and make some more features for the classics like me and my iPod.” We will be grateful for it I promise.
Ok, I am almost done. Let me just recap my questions, I know my post is kind of lengthy.
#1. Why can’t my iPod play MP3 video files? And why do I have to convert to almost all the same settings except changing it from an mp4 to an m4v. according to Apples own site I should be able to play .m4v .mp4 and .mov files!! Note: remember iTunes plays them fine but my iPod will not.
#2. Would be much more convenient to be able to copy the information from the windows in iTunes so that problems and trouble shooting would be much easier. A little check on off options in iTunes advanced settings would be terrific.
#3. Why is the conversion so slow? Please speed it, you have the power. Convenience is the thing that sells products.
#4. Files that cannot be played on the current iPod need to be easier recognized for simpler cleaning.
#5. Also make an easier way to select all dead link files for faster cleaning, deleting, etc. This one is important.
#6. Make a user friendly way to change where my files are going to end up once I convert them for iPod more options and better customizable settings are need.
#7. One of the most important is ADD A SEARCH OPTION. I and we classics will LOVE Apple for it.
For you readers, I apologize for the long post, and any grammatical errors you might find throughout it. These are problems that I have faced with these programs and hardware and I wanted to make sure they got acknowledged and hopefully addressed. Any information about why I cannot play MP4 Video files on my iPod would be the best. If anything in my post gets answered that’s the one I want most. Will save me a lot of hassle.
Thank you all and I look forward to your suggestions and comments. All are welcome and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bond, James

Was playing with iTunes and thought of another suggestion! Let us play files in iTunes from an iPod! A friend or sibling should be able to plug his iPod into my computer open iTunes and play any of the files there. Many times I have wanted to show a movie clip or video to a friend, and I have the dock so I can do it on my T.V. but play it on their computer in their iTunes forget it. That would be a very nice feature as well so we can watch our movies at maximum size or listen to music on a better sound system, just another suggestion that would be nice. Thanks

When I open a video which I have altered the AV settings on in another program, the settings revert to the initial settings. Can I edit the color and brightness settings permanently in Quicktime 7?

I need to change the color and brightness for a video file for a presentation and cannot figure out how to change them permanently when I open the video file in Powerpoint. Any suggestions?

The A/V Controls window settings revert when the window is closed.
You would need the "Pro" upgrade to QuickTime Player and then use the Export dialog / Filters button to make a new version of the file.

How do i use conditional formatting to edit the color of other selected other cells?

I have been playing around with the conditional formatting feature of Numbers, I have figured out how to change font and background color of the cell i am working with.
However what i am looking to do is apply a background color formatting to another cell (i.e. F2) if conditions are met in (B2).
the end game is this,
I want to make a column of check boxes, and using contional formating i want adject cells to change color (I.e. the example above: if (B2) is a check box, then when unchecked the reffered Cell (F2) does nothing, but when check the color of (F2) changes)
I can make this happen with Logic equations, the give (i.e. F2) some letter or number value, then using conditional formats i can have the color change. but this leaves that particular cell useless to me (i.e. F2) I am not free to enter or edit text in that cell. (i.e. =IF(B2=TRUE,"Paid","Due") ----> then add a conditional statement that chages color when the value is either "Paid" or "Due")
How do i have F2 change color, when B2 is checked and still retain the ability to enter information (or potential have another formula) in F2? (The Cell is not used up by "Paid" or "Due" it is editable just like any other cell)
is there anyway to change cell characteristics like font, color, and background color inside a formula, because in that way i would be able build it manually
i tried using the formula editor inside the conditional format pane, but the only infor it will allow me to retain is one partictular cell. i cannot add modifiers like "+" or "=" or anything else. what is that space used for then?
thanks for anyones help

MC,
You can do what you want in Numbers. It requires an auxiliary column and it's a bit tedious to set up because conditional formatting by comparison to another cell isn't relative, so each cell has to be programmed individually with no option to Paste or Fill to other cells in a range.
For explanation purposes, let's say your checkbox is A2, your cell to be conditionally formatted is B2, and your auxiliary cell is C2. To have the format of B2 determined by the checkbox status in A2, you will:
1. In C2 write: =IF(A, B, " ") The " " is any string or value that you don't expect to encounter in B normally, and using the space character means you don't have to worry about having it visible if C is in View.
2. In B2 use Conditional Format: "Equal To" cell C2 and set your text and fill attributes to be used when the box in A is checked.
That's it. Do that for every cell in the range.

Ever since I downloaded the version 6.0, my youtube video's and other video's won't play and are halted. Is their a setting I need to change now ?

When going to youtube.com in it's own tab, every video comes on to play for a few seconds and is halted with no way to play the entire video again. I can watch a youtube video in facebook but it too is kept from streaming smoothly. When editing my photos and video's offline for my camera. The software performs flawlessly on my computer as always. I run Norton 360 premium edition. no bells or whistles. I run the add on for you tube as i always have from firefox. Is there some setting i need to change now with this version 6.0? 5.0 worked fine also. When I watch a video I uploaded to weather.com now, I get flawless audio without the video to see. My 4GB Ram is peaking out running firefox now. Not sure if having many tabs left open is affecting the performance and the videos. it did not do so with 5.0 as it does with 6.0. Thanks

Problem editing text color and page properties due to favicon link

I recently added a link to a sites favicon using the link tag. Following advice on the net this was added beneath the HTML tag and before the HEAD tag. I was using a Dreamweaver template for the site and it updated all pages with the new link in the non-editable area above HEAD and just after the template declaration.
This was fine, unitl the user went to edit the site. He found that he could no longer get to page properties as he got an error that no page properties existed in editable areas... although there was an editable region for the page title. Also text color and highlighting were now disabled.
Moving the link tag into the head area has resolved the editing issue, but it seems a strange bug. Is there some way to add something between HTML and HEAD and have it appear before the InstanceBegin of the template?

You can edit text in any PDF by using trial version but as for as my knowledge and limited experience with Adobe I could not find any text color option in Adobe Acrobat. But you can highlight text in Adobe Acrobat. If you want to change the text color in PDF, I would like to recommend some another software which allows you to change the color of text and is available for download here.
Let me tell you how can change text color using this software. Open PDF file > go to "edit tab" > Click "edit" then highlight text to change the color. As you can see in the below screenshot.
Free free to ask. Hope it helps you. Don't forget to come back to share your views.

Dual display color and other related issues...

I have posted this on painter forums, though some of the issues coming together here are directly related to issues w/ Snow Leopard and dual displays. Thought I would try here....
This is so bizarre. When I ever I run P11(I think this is going on in P10 too?) w/ the OS X (snow leopard, 10.6.2 on quad core Intel Xeon Mac Pro, 10 GB of RAM) menu bar on my Eizo(making it the main display), and the Apple Cinema display left as the #2 monitor, I get very annoying brush cursor artifcats left randomly on the Eizo screen after strokes. One cannot predict when the cursor will leave it's gray "marks", but it will do it, sometimes 5 strokes in a row, sometimes after 15 strokes or so? If I move my brush back over them, or change the image percantage view, they vanish, obviously new ones coming back, as I work.
However I put the OS menu bar on the AC display, yet work back on the Eizo, this does NOT happen. No cursor artifacts. Well, at least I can summon the issue
The reason I am doing this is Snow Leopard has bad color issues w/ dual displays (well documented, much to Photoshop CS4 users frustrations, and mine). Apple needs to fix it... but for me to see the right color on the Eizo(this is my main color and superior display), it needs to be the main monitor(menu bar) in 10.6.2.
So, you can see my trap - Accurate color, or annoying cursor artifacts left on the screen (sorry, it really bugs me as I work) as I work in Painter.
Attempted fixes: Trashed all of Painter's prefs, all of Wacom's Intuos 4(latest driver) prefs and software, switched plug ins on the back of the mac for the displays(lots of restarts), ran cache cleaning Cocktail and DiskWarrior, etc. -- no change, as I can duplicate the issue w/ the above set up. A sidebar or maybe be very related note: I have an iMac w/ max amount of ram (model not very old -- maybe 1 or 2 old) and I have had a long standing issue working on the iMacs we have had w/ this brush cursor artifact problem (in Leopard and Snow Leopard). I am on one monitor w/ the iMac, so you know here the menu bar is...hmmmmmmmm.....?
Thanks!, T

Some Video Converts and other do

Having trouble. Is there another program I can use or a setting I can change to make this not happen?
I'm using both XP and Vista and get the same error. I also use the Creative Video Converter and ZENCast.
Thanks.
Creative Vision:M 60 GB

If an app does not behave as expected, try closing the app completely and reboot the iPad. It appears as though you have the original iPad. It helps if you list your iPad model and the iOS that you are running.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How to make a slide show or edition including mpeg and other formats

Hi,
I am i bit puzzled by the use of iphoto/imovie/itunes.
I have a Sony camera which generates jpg photos and mpg videos; besides, i have 3gp and mp4 videos from cell phones.
Firstly, i imported all of them to iphoto. I used a automator workflow to help importing from hotsynced Palm centro files, to discover the first problem with the 3gp files: they could not be iported by workflows.
Still, they could be seen in iphoto, but then i tried to make a slide show. My idea was to put the photos and videos of a certain event to be watched together, or at least to be able to watch the videos in a sequence, without having to click on each one.
I didnt get it in iphoto, so i switched to imovie. it was even worse, since it cannot import the mpgs and the 3gps (the jpg photos were ok). What could i do about that? is there any converter or other way?
then i tried the itunes, and it was the opposite: it imported and played in sequence the mpg videos, but not the photos. This is a workaround anyway, since the program expects to play movies, and makes my daughter a "star", but that`s ok, she is one to me.
i'll be thankful for hints on how to make the imovie compatible with the 3gp and mpgs, or finding some way to do this edition in iphoto or even with itunes.
regards

I see, it sounds reasonable , i think i will buy the pro and try.
QT Pro ($30) and MPEG Streamclip (free) complement each other. In many cases one can do things that the other cannot. For instance, MPEG Stramclip can handle/edit multiplexed formats while QT Pro cannot. QT Pro allows layering of data tracks while Streamclip does not. Streamclip merges file streams more easily than QT Pro but QT Pro allows the "Movie to MPEG-4" export to "passthrough" the video while Streamsclip does not. And so on and so forth...
I was referring to the mpegs from the Sony camera, of which a have hundreds, shot in the last 3 or 4 years, mainly from my 5-year old daughter. Is the above true to these?
That still doesn't help. By "sony camera," are you referring to a still digital camera (multiplexed MPEG-1) or a Sony video camcorder taking MPEG-4/AVCHD with AC3 audio in an MPEG wrapper, a Sony DVD/HDD camera storing some kind of MPEG-2/AC3 files. On a Mac, the extension MPG normally refers multiplexed MPEG-1 (or MPEG-1 audio layer) files while MPEG normally refers to multiplexed MPEG-2 video content with MPEG-1, layer 2 audio (MPEG2/MP2) but may also refer to files with MP3 or AC3 files in an MPEG, VOB, or TS wrapper. In addition it may loosely refer to elementary M2V video streams (M2V video file paired with a separate AIFF or AC3 file), a standard MPEG4/AAC file (in an MOV or MP4 wrapper) or a standard H.264/AAC file in MOV, MP4, or M4V wrapper). Since the handling, conversion, editing requirements vary with each type of file, it becomes important to what specific kind of content/file container we are dealing with here.

Video playback and other issues

This might be a 10.6.4 issue or it could be hardware, I'm not sure.
*First Issue:*
Oftentimes, when I try to play video on my Macbook (stats included) the video hangs up and the audio skips like a bad record (remember records? ). This problem is particularly bad when playing videos from the internet but it persists even when the streaming bar is fully loaded in the browser. I took an online masters course this summer and constantly had this skipping issue so I thought it was Adobe and Apple not playing nice since their videos were Flash based. Now, I can see that the problem also occurs when trying to play Quicktime videos. I made an iweb site with a few videos and my Macbook can't seem to play them. However, when I go over to my Mac Mini it has no issues and it has the same processor in it and less RAM.
I know what your thinking; 'check the activity monitor.' I do check the activity monitor, constantly. When this problem occurs I'm never using more than 50% CPU and I usually have at least 1 GB of RAM available although the problem has manifested itself with a much as 2 GB of RAM available and minimal CPU usage.
This issue is starting to get worse and I've had a few kernal panics lately, which may or may not be related.
At the beginning of the summer I reinstalled the system from scratch to see if that would solve the issue; no such luck.
I thought is was the RAM so I tested it with Techtool Deluxe. No problems found with the RAM.
Now, this issue might be related to the second issue but I'll let you decide.
*Second Issue:*
This issue has been around for a long time and I've largely ignored it since all the forums I've been on don't know what to do/can't pin it down.
The issue is that the fan runs constantly at a high RPM no matter what I do.
Again, I check the Activity monitor consistently and I have it set so I can view "All Processes." No 'memory hogs' running.
I also have smsFanControl running and set for 1800 as the min speed.
Furthermore, my wife has the same model computer (only manufactured later) and hers runs whisper quiet while mine sounds like a wind tunnel.
In fact, as I type this I have 1.29 GB of RAM free, 97% of my processor is idle and I'm running at 65C with a fan speed of 6200 RPM.
Any thoughts on either of these two issues would be a help. Thanks

DaddyPaycheck thanks for the info. I am have 7 GB of RAM and my internet access is through cable. I never had this problem before with an older computer with the same internet connection. I am not sure what to do. I recently upgraded to the 30" monitor and a new video card. I purcheased another video card, the ATI Radeon X800XT, but I haven't installed it yet. I am not sure that this will fix my problem. I have all the latest updates for Quicktime and Windows media player. I actually does it when I am playing DVD's as well.

My firefox browser keeps getting redirected to sites like "video cop" and other things I've never heard of. I keep getting pop under windows out of nowhere. What's wrong!? Adware, Spybot, and all my antivirus scans can't find anything!

When I click on links on google to go to search results, the computer often freezes or is misdirected to sites like "video cop." I've never had problems with firefox before, it's always been the most reliable browser - but now I'm getting pop-under ads too. I ran spybot, adaware, AVG, and a bunch of other scans but none of them detected any problems.

Kuler is Color and other Important Updates

The service you’ve come to know, Adobe Kuler is getting a new name—Adobe Color CC. We are introducing this new name to better align with Creative Cloud and our emerging family of capture apps - Adobe Brush CC and Adobe Shape CC - which allow you to capture inspiration around you and easily bring in into your creative process across desktop and mobile devices.
But don’t worry, you will get all the same features as before. Plus, improved connections to Creative Cloud.
We’ve also made some important changes to the Color iPhone app.
Creative Cloud Libraries Support: You can now save your color themes to Creative Cloud Libraries—making them easier to access and use in desktop apps.
Updated Design: Adobe Color for the iPhone has a new look along with the new name. The camera and color wheel have also been updated to make them easier to use.
Coming soon, support for the iPad: We’ve also been busy working on an iPad version of Color—look out for this update in mid October.

Hi,
I have the same doubt: as davidpn: Will Adobe Color CC (FKA Kuler) sync with Photoshop CC, as Illustrator CC does?
Regarding the answer: "checkout the new Photoshop CC 2014, color themes would be available under Windows->Extension".
I'm currently using Photoshop CC 2014. Under Window>>Extensions I don't see "Kuler" nor "Adobe Color".
I tried clicking to "Browse extensions online..." and it opened a webpage, I couldn't find it there either.
To summarize:
Can we or can't we use Adobe Color the way we use it in Illustrator ? Or any other way (besides downloading the swatch).
Thank you

Edit the header and other static content of a wiki?

Hello.
Does anyone know how to edit the header of a wiki?
I'm no talking about the banner image, but the area above the banner (which contains the group name, and links for Wiki/Blog/Calendar as well as the search icon)?
I've customized a number of wiki themes (via the original wireframe), but I've been asked to add a logo to the header area. I've also been asked to change "Blog" to another name.
So, wondering — where are the files that I would edit for this?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

You need to copy the XSL files from
/usr/share/wikid/lib/apple_templates
to
/Library/Application Support /Apple/WikiServer/Themes/custom theme
and then modify default.xsl in your theme folder.

Editing Profile name and other information

I read somewhere that you can edit you profile or account name so will not show as it really is. What I an saying is other people online will not see your real account name. Now I am reading Skype does not allow this. So if you edit your name so it is not the same as your real account name will affect the way Skype functions? Like what I did was just use the first initial of my last name and my first name.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, Twann,
As of approximately Skype 5.11, we can no longer search for our own Skype account names while we are signed on to Skype using that account. In other words, if you are signed on using another Skype account, you can search the directory for the account you wish to review or see. It does not matter whose computer is being used.
Does that make sense? Let me try it this way ...
Account A ----> Cannot search and view Account A's Skype Account
Account B ----> Can search for and view Account A's Skype Account
Account A ----> Can search for and view Account B's Skype Account
Therefore,
Account B ----> Cannot search and view Account B's Skype Account

Elaine

What is the best way to backup all Photos, Videos, Music, and other documents so that I can basically clean up my laptop? I would like to keep all applications during the "reboot", and I already have an external hard drive.

I have filled up the 500 GB of internal storage on my Mid 2010 laptop, and I have no intentions of getting anything newer. I would like to backup basically everything so that I can pull it off a hard drive as needed, but I am worried if I "reboot" my laptop, I'll lose all files and applications.

You say that you already have an external hard drive? Of what capacity? With some libraries, it's simply a matter of dragging and dropping them to copy them to an external drive (such as videos, etc.). But you want to be a bit careful about moving your iTunes Library so you won't lose the links to your music (see -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751) and photos (see -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US).
Once you've established that your relocated Libraries are still functioning and that you've copied your movies, you can delete these items from your internal drive. You could, if you wanted, invest in a larger internal drive so that you could always have your data stored so that you can take it with you, of course.
But if you safely move all of your files to an external, you can trash the originals and make space on your internal drive.
