Exporting animated titles from LiveType to be used in DVDSP

Here is my question: I have made an animated title in LiveType. I saved it as an .ipr file. I opened up DVDSP and imported into DVDSP. I dragged it over the canvas and waited for the menu to appear that says "create button.". I dropped it in there and it made a button. Here is the dilemma.
The type is a little distorted and when I go to change the button states to different colors, it does not work.
What am I doing wrong? I want the button to start off yellow, then when you put your mouse over it (or remote control) it should turn red. Why can't I accomplish this? What am I doing wrong? Is tere a setting I am missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

titles like that are done via photoshop or after effects with layers.
I have done a few myself, but not often, so I have forgetten how it is done, but I have done it.
just too much darn work for very little.

  • FCE Titles from LiveType

    Here is the basic issue: I want to get titles from LiveType into FCE.
    I have created a rather complex presentation in FCE, it is a promotional video. Now I want to put people's names in. Here is what I have done:
    1) in FCE, I exported the complete project "For LiveType"
    2) In LT, I made the FCE project the background and I have put all of the right titles where I want them
    3) I want to move the LT project into the FCE one so that I can have sound.
    I can't figure it our nor can I find the answer in either the FCE or LT manuals. Each time I do something it just gets more and more messed up and rendering takes an hour before I know that what I did didn't work.
    What do I need to do?

    How long is the video project? If you're making lower thirds it's usually done by making separate projects for each person rather than one large project that runs the length of the video. It would require rendering the entire video project in FCE. If you really do want to do it the why you want make the background layer active in LT. You can do this by either moving the video layer above the background bar, or by turning on the background in the project properties. It will require re-rendering everything when the project is laid back in FCE.

  • Importing titles from LiveType

    When I import a title generated from LiveType, it has to be rendered in Final Cut Express HD. After rendering, the type is pixelated both in the preview and the final DVD. Any ideas whey a .mov file from LiveType needs to be rendered in FCEHD and or why it ends up pixelated in the final DVD?

    If you are working with DV footage in your Timeline in FCE, your LT settings should be set for DV 3:2
    For me, I don't bother exporting LT titles as movies. I create them, save them as a project file and import that into FCE. Yes, I need to render it then but if I need to make changes to it, I just use the Open in Editor function which will open LT right in the Timeline; I make my changes, Save and bingo, reflected in the Timeline. Yes, I need to re-render, but this gives me excellent quality and if I drop the title on a Video track above my clip, I have perfect superimposition

  • Export/Import xml from dynamic pdf form using java

    Hi,
    I have been searching for the last 2-3 days on the internet for this. Some posts do talk about it, but none have provided the answer I was looking for. Hopefully this is the correct forum to post the question in.
    I am working on a desktop swing application that works on extracting and changing data in a XFA form, I would like to export the form's content modify it and import it back using java. This is so easy with the Adobe Reader, where it nicley exports the form content as an XML document, you can change it manually and the import the data back. I am searching for a way of doing this in java. I found XPAAJ.jar mentioned in some forums, that may make this easy. I havent been able to use it, since I cant find it anywhere.
    I found a blog from Mike Potter
    http://blogs.adobe.com/mikepotter/2006/07/download_xpaaj.html
    This says that XPAAJ is free as long as I use it on forms developed using livecycle. I dont own livecycle, but the forms that I am working has been built using livecycle.  So my questions are:
    1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
    2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
    3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
    4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
    5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
    Thanks
    Sethu

    Hi Sethu;
    First, its important to know that xpaaj never was a supported piece of software.  It was supplied "as is" with no support from Adobe.  It has been pulled and is no longer available from the Adobe web site.  Mike's blog is from 2006, so its really old information.
    1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
    While the xpaaj library will import and export data to/from a form on the client, Adobe now recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms server.
    2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
    The license stated that you need to own one of Adobe's server side products (not LiveCycle Designer, but one of the server side LiveCycle products).
    3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
    XPAAJ was pulled by Adobe.  They found a few bugs and since it was unsupported software they just pulled it from the web site.
    4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
    Not from Adobe.  Adobe recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms software for merging data and forms.
    5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
    As far as I know there Adobe doesn't have a client side library available for this (merging dynamic XDP based forms with data).

  • Bringing animated titles from AE to PP

    Hello all,
    I have recorded some interviews and took a sample video from one of them to create an animation that shows the subject's name and role they play. I need to customise each title for each person obviously and was wondering the best way of doing this.
    Here are the after effects layers:
    TOP      Title and Role (fixed animation of a custom title for each clip)
    2          Animated branded strip on which title sits (same for each clip)
    3          Test video clip (for positioning but will need to be replaced in Premiere by the video edit)
    BOTTOM     Animated background image that plays during the title animation and then disappears (same for each clip)
    I would like to customise each title sequence for each actor. Because one of the layers sits below the video layer (but is blended in as the video background is black) I need to be able to bring into Premiere as layers and reposition around the video clip.
    What's the most efficient way of doing this. I was thinking that as the background animation and title strip animation are fixed, I could create that as one composition and another composition for the specific title and bring each in uniquely for each actor. Just wondering what's the best workflow for doing this. Can I tell after effects to ignore the test video clip to avoid it being exported. Should I delete or can I just tell AE not to export or include in PP?
    Thanks for any help

    If this were my project I would create a different comp for each name by simply duplicating the comps in the Project Panel then changing the name. I would remove the background video, duplicate the comps, change the names,  then render each title using the Render Cue or AME using the Lossless With Alpha preset. The rendered titles would be brought into PPro and added above appropriate shot in the sequence.
    If you have CC 2014 I would work differently. I would create a Text Template in AE for Premiere Pro. This is a much more efficient workflow. Here's how: How to create text templates in After Effects for Premiere Pro | Adobe After Effects CC tutorials

  • Exporting Animated logo from AE cs6 into Premiere cs6

    I have an animated logo that I would like to import into premiere cs6. When I exported it into premiere, it only imported the picture, not the background and animation along with the picture. What can I do export the logo in its entirety?

    If your export does not show everything in your composition then you are looking at the wrong view in AE or you have set elements in your composition as guide layers. The only thing exported is the Active Camera view. There are also many ways to bring an AE animation into Premiere Pro. You can add the .aep to PPro and load the comp into the sequence, You can use Dynamic Link from inside the sequence to replace footage, or you can render to any one of about 10,000 different formats for use in PPro, only a very few of which are suitable for a production workflow. You have given us nothing to go on to solve your problem. If checking for guide layers and making sure that you created your comp using the Active camera view does not solve your problem then we need to know everything that is going on in your comp and exactly what your workflow is.

  • Exporting HD footage from Avid (PC) for use in FCP (MAC)

    Hello,
    Here is my issue, there was and HD shoot of my business for local promotional use. I wanted the footage for marketing purposes down the road. I put together most of our promotional video using FCP 5.1.4. The footage was edited on a PC Avid system and exported using an animation codac to quicklime. (This is what the editor said would work)
    The footage will not play back correctly, starts off playing for the first second or so and freezes. When I import it into a sequence and render it I can here audio but the canvas remains black. Before I have them export this thing again I wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end. Below are the clip details and CPU info. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Animation files are much too large data-wise to play back. YOu need to use Compressor to convert them into a codec that is more editable. DVCPRO HD for example...or ProRes. Depending on what hard drives you are trying to play this footage from.
    Animation is a good transfer codec, but it needs to be converted.

  • Problems exporting Animation codec from After Effects CS3 to FCP

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can help: I am having troubles with video transfer from After effects CS3 to FCP 6
    my workflow is to edit and export in FCP as quicktime movie - work on the clip in AE and then export as Animation/best quality/Millions of colors+. The footage is SD Pal 1024 x 576.
    the problem is that the files don't seem to play back properly in quicktime - very jagged and lots of ghosting. I assume this is due to the memory heavy features of the codec.
    However any file over 10 seconds will not be imported into FCP natively and a message reads final cut pro does not support this file type.
    I overcame this by opening the clip in quicktime and then exporting again with exactly the same settings - this then reads in FCP - although this seems over the top
    I now want to work with a 10 min finished comp in FCP but when I try to do this it picks up the ghosting that had appeared when playback in quicktime. However when rendered/ exported from the FCP timeline it retains the ghosting
    in short I can burn a successful DVD of the footage as is from AE but it is not suitable to FCP.
    I have tried exporting the clip in quicktime as quicktime DV pal but this retains the ghosting. Is this a hard ware problem or is my work flow wrong?
    thanks
    Paul

    Converting from A to B means either a lossy conversion or a significant increase in storage requirements (up to 5x with DV as the starting point). You are best served with keeping conversions to a minimum.
    > cause this compressor doesn't like images
    What is that based on?
    > in several forums I have red that "automatik" inside of encore does often not work properly
    This is in contradiction with the general feelings on this forum.

  • Export XML data from a CLOB field using sql developer

    I have a table that contains a CLOB field, each record is a complete XML in itself. After running the select query i am exporting this data by right clicking on the answer set, while the export completes the data for each record gets truncated.
    When i chose to save the export in loader format i get the complete records but now there are n files created for n records exported.
    Is there a way i can get alll the records in a single file wirthout any truncation.
    Thanks in advance!

    You might try delimited format or csv, with no enclosures if desired.

  • How do I export a movie from X to be used in a PowerPoint on a PC?

    I have a 7 second movie in Final Cut X that I want to export (now SHARE) so I can insert in a PowerPoint to be played on PC.  How do I make a file that PowerPoint likes?  It does not like .mov.  Probably would most like wmv but this new kind of FC doesn't have all those export formats that FCP had.

    FCP never had export options for WMV other than Flip4Mac. Have a look at this:

  • How can I copy the titles from a project volume one use them for the rest?

    I'm editing a four DVD set, and would like to use the same opening titles and credits for each. How can I copy the titles from volume one and use them for the rest? Thank you.

    Open the project that has the titles you want to use. Select (highlight) all the title clips you want, then right-click and choose COPY.
    Open the new project(s), then paste the titles onto the Timeline.
    Done.

  • Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

    I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error.  Is there a way to go around this step?  Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality?  Anything I can do?
    Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
    Thank you

    as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
    I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
    When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
    1.) system
    2.) Assets
    3.) Project
    4.) OE
    5.) Bugs
    This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
    Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
    Good luck,

  • Exporting HD Video From Final Cut Express HD

    When attempting to export HD video from Final Cut Express using "uncompressed" setting, I notice that the output quality seems to be limited to "medium." If no compression is used, wouldn't that imply that the video quality should equal original footage?

    All FCE Timelines are using the AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) for HD stuff if you selected the correct Easy Setup before you started your Project.
    If you export as a Quicktime Movie then you are getting exactly the same export quality as the Timeline.
    The Quicktime Movie can be either Self-Contained or a Reference file. Reference Files are great because they use/reference you exisating captured files on your Scratch Disc, use less space and export fast.
    However if you need to play the export somewhere other than your Mac your will require the file to be Self-Contained.
    QuickTime Conversion does just that, Converts to whatever you select.

  • Best Codec for exporting animations with alpha channel from FCP timeline

    Whats the best codec for exporting animations (hopefully using loseless compression) that will retain alpha channel, and use the current sequence settings for fps and size?
    Currently Im exporting image sequences, but I'd prefer a wrapper.. I don't know much about the 'Animation' export codec.. I did notice that set to current size had some funky value of 753x450 or something.. instead of my current project size of 1920x1080...
    Anyhow.. Just seeing what others are doing..
    basically Im reading out some titles that I'll end up dropping over video later.. but since they render out so slowly (**** lower 3rds is slow) Im trying to get a jump on the process..
    Tx..

    PNG should do it. I think PNG is lossless (that's what they say, anyway). But realistically, if you use PNG, Animation, or JPG2000 set on highest quality, I'd dare you to tell a difference.
    I use PNG because it's supposedly lossless, renders twice as fast as Animation in a FCP timeline, and is usually about half the size.
    If you use "Export Using Quicktime Conversion", you will need to check all of the settings manually to make sure they match your sequence settings. This is always true, no matter what codec you use.
    If that sounds risky, your other option is to go into your sequence settings and change the codec to the one you want to render to (this will probably turn your whole timeline red), and then choose Export -> Quicktime movie.

  • Export to Encore from Premiere - Set DVD Title?

    I am new to Encore.
    I tried to Export to Encore from Premiere. The DVD turns out fine, but the DVD is named "Untitled Project" and I'd like to give the disc a custom title.
    I saved the Encore project, gave the disc a title, and the titling works out fine, but the DVD has no sound.
    I have tried both of these processes two times each, and the same thing happens.
    Given the choice between a custom title and sound, I certainly want the disc to have sound. But how do I get both?
    Help help help.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I used a short disc title in Encore, which was PANDORA. The titles winds up on the DVD, but no sound.
    But when I export the video from Premiere to Encore, I don't see a place where I can enter a custom name. So it names the DVD Untitled Project. Can you tell me where that is in Premiere?
