Equal background to photo color and position graphic or text within the cli

Hello, I am new and this is my first post.
I started creating my first video and get pretty far for the first time today. I did use video footage, photos and text. The footage is fine, but I would like to
give the photos a background which I choosed from one part of the photo ( eg. white). How can I do this? I looked up the help area but couldn't find any answer.
Next I want to ad text to an empty area of the photo and there I need to move and position it. How do I do this?
I also need to give a clip the same width as the other basic clips are. How can I lenghten a clip with eg. a photo or a background to a wished width.
I hope my english was good enough to explain understandable where I need help.
Thanks for any kind and helpful answer.
Enjoy your day.
Regards
Mike

You can make text into a graphic by clicking on the text
field to highlight it, press F8 to convert to symbol, name it,
choose graphic if that's what you want.
To do a text cutout effect, hit Ctrl+F8 to create a new
symbol, name it, choose graphic, hit "ok" (now you will be inside
the new symbol), draw your background shape on layer 1 frame 1,
type static text on top of it (same layer), place the text where it
needs to be, hit Ctrl+b twice to convert the text to vector, you
should be able to hit delete at this point to erase the text and
leave a cutout. Before you hit delete, make sure only the text is
highlighted and not the background shape.

  • I am very new to Macs and iPhoto so this may be an idiot's question, but I have just created my first photo book and want to buy it, but the "buy book" button is not highlighted and when I click it nothing happens. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks!

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

  • After upgrading my 3gs to ios5, I get 2 copies of pictures synced from my computer, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put the pictures in to put on the phone. Any ideas why?

       When syncing pictures from my computer to my I-Phone I get 2 copies of the pictures, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put pictures in to put on the phone. This started after I upgraded to ios5. I have tried re-installing I-Tunes. I have not reset the phone. My main concern is the amount of memory pictures take up on the phone. It's not a problem now but could be in the future. Any Ideas on why this happening?

    It has always been this way.  it was never different.  This is how the iphone handles photos - always has.
    There are NOT two copies,  There are simply two ways to access the very same photos.  All synced photos will ALWAYS be under Photo Library ( you can look at all photos at once this way or do a slideshow of all photos).  Those very same photos can also be accessed from the individual folders so you can show or slideshow just that folder.
    Just as a book can be in the library and in the fiction section, there is only one book/photo.

  • IOS 7 background is white, I changed to black now my wallpaper and photos color and clarity gone!! How do I fix that

    Since I inverted the color on the background from white to black my wallpaper and photos are messed up in color and clarity, what happened, how do I fix that!

    I've installed iOS 7 on an iPhone 4 and I notice that in Search the keyboard displays with black keys but the all white Mail interface has a white (and quite bright) keyboard.  So why can't the Mail keyboard also be black? Furthermore, why are such aspects of the interface not even customizable at this point in the evolution of the software?
    One solution, use the option to 'invert colors' found in the Accessibility settings under Settings > General . That's a nice way to dim the overall interface, especially useful when using the phone in a dark place or for a more gentle viewing experience when reading or using the phone in low light, until you realise that by inverting colors, it flips your wallpaper image from a positive image to a negative one. Really? Come on, this stuff is elementary.
    Neither of these points prevent using the older device with the new IOS smoothly, but they stand out as annoyances for the older hardware that makes it feel more elegant in previous versions of the iOS. 
    Plenty of Apps allow customizeable interfaces when it comes to keyboard colors, brightness and scaling text. Apple's iOS has all the elements but lacks implementing them for user customization. Stuff like this seems like left over items not addressed before launching the product.

  • Iphone 4, Trouble with photos coloration and flash strobing effect. Does anyone knows...?

    Hi I am expiriencing following problems as per attached exhibits:
    Photo coloration
    When taking picture there is no problem. When pictures are downloaded the result however is this:
    Exhibit A:
    Than I am also having problem with flash strobing:
    some time You are able to notice when taking picture or you see the preview:
    Exhibit B:
    Do any clever boffins know what is up? Preferable directly the Apple "geniuses"

    Your profile says iPhone 4, is that correct? Do you have file extensions turned off in Windows Explorer? If so, when you turn them on, are you sure this is a jpeg file? If the image viewer cannot open it, then something is going wrong, as the image viewer can open most any kind of image file, including both jpeg and png.
    For Exhibit B, I would say it could be a combination of the LED flash and the flourescent light that is causing the lines. It could just be out of sync from the electric 60Hz cycle of the flourescent light.
    At first I would recommend a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. But one thing bothers me and that is the fact the Exhibit A picture looks good on the screen of the phone, but then displays this coloration on the computer, as well as giving you a file error. Not sure if that is an iOS issue, or a Windows issue.

  • No-go on photo-editing and positioning of a hyperlink in IWeb template -

    Dear forum. I am currently building a little site on I Web - but have had some difficulties regarding - editing of pictures and the use of Hyperlinks in text.
    1) I have made the specific page on a template called :My photos. When I have pulled pictures from I Photo to the page I cant edit them by using the ADJUST button - it is like the picture editing is locked?
    2) Using the same template (My Photos) I can not make - words or text to a Hyper link ?
    The very top-part of this page-template does allow me to edit a picture and or make a Hyperlink - it is when I get beyond the headlines and main picture.
    How can I get by these no-go things ?

  • How to print diffrent color and diffrent size of text in JTextArea ?

    Hello All,
    i want to make JFrame which have JTextArea and i append text in
    JTextArea in diffrent size and diffrent color and also with diffrent
    fonts.
    any body give me any example or help me ?
    i m thanksfull.
    Arif.

    You can't have multiple text attributes in a JTextArea.
    JTextArea manages a "text/plain" content type document that can't hold information about attributes ( color, font, size, etc.) for different portions of text.
    You need a component that can manage styled documents. The most basic component that can do this is JEditorPane. It can manage the following content types :
    "text/rtf" ==> via StyledDocument
    "text/html" ==> via HTMLDocument
    I've written for you an example of how a "Hello World" string could be colorized in a JEditorPane with "Hello" in red and "World" in blue.
    import javax.swing.JEditorPane;
    import javax.swing.text.StyleConstants;
    import javax.swing.text.StyledEditorKit;
    import javax.swing.text.StyledDocument;
    import javax.swing.text.MutableAttributeSet;
    import javax.swing.text.SimpleAttributeSet;
    import java.awt.Color;
    public class ColorizeTextTest{
         public static void main(String args[]){
              //build gui
              JFrame frame = new JFrame();
              JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
              frame.getContentPane().add(editorPane);
              frame.pack();
              frame.setVisible(true);
              //create StyledEditorKit
              StyledEditorKit editorKit = new StyledEditorKit();
              //set this editorKit as the editor manager [JTextComponent] <-> [EditorKit] <-> [Document]
              editorPane.setEditorKit(editorKit);
              StyledDocument doc = (StyledDocument) editorPane.getDocument();
              //insert string "Hello World"
              //this text is going to be added to the StyledDocument with positions 0 to 10
              editorPane.setText("Hello World");
              //create and attribute set
              MutableAttributeSet atr = new SimpleAttributeSet();
              //set foreground color attribute to RED
              StyleConstants.setForeground(atr,Color.RED);
              //apply attribute to the word "Hello"
              int offset = 0; //we want to start applying this attribute at position 0
              int length = 5; //"Hello" string has a length of 5
              boolean replace = false; //should we override any other attribute not specified in "atr" : anwser "NO"
              doc.setCharacterAttributes(offset,length,atr,replace);
              //set foreground color attribute to BLUE
              StyleConstants.setForeground(atr,Color.BLUE);
              //apply attribute to the word "World"
              offset = 5; //we include the whitespace
              length = 6;
              doc.setCharacterAttributes(offset,length,atr,replace);
    }

  • Hi why are my photos after downloading twice ,once in photo library and once in a file with the date why cant i delete a file its an iphone 4s please help

    why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • How to export layer width, height, and position to a text document?

    I am working on an automated workflow for which I need to know the exact width, height, and position in pixels of certain layers in a PSD.
    I am pretty sure this is possible with applescript but does anyone know of a way to have this info included automatically in the documents metadata?

    Hi Gabriele - how did you add the subs to FCP? if you added them using the text tools built in then you need to try to extract those first. Neither FCP or DVDSP are good places to create subtitles, but apps like STL Edit and Belle Nuit are. These will both create subs that can be imported into DVDSP. You can also use a text file to import the subs as long as the text file is set up correctly. The precise format is listed in the manual for DVDSP and a tool like BBEdit is ideal if you want to do the subs this way. Some folk even use Excel to set up the timecodes, etc, but personally I find that too distracting, preferring to work with STL Edit when I need to add subs.
    One thing is almost universally agreed upon in here - create the subs outside of DVDSP and import them in, since if you need to move, alter or otherwise change them it is a lot easier from within a text file than from within DVDSP.
