Feature Request: Custom Project Frame Sizes

Seems like a basic function for a profesional editing software.
Please Please add the ability to control my sequence frame size in a custom way. I often have to produce vertical sequences for in-store displays 1080x1920.
Thanks

Use feedback.

Feature Request: Custom uninstaller which executes actionscript function on uninstall

Hi,
My name is Ronald Kamp and I'm an IT Consultant at iDA MediaFoundry Belgium.
I would like to request a feature. At the moment I have an application that writes a file to the app-storage of my application, to the user's documents and settings folder and one value to the Encrypted Local Store. On uninstall, I would like to remove all of these files so that all links to the application are removed.
Would it be possible to add a feature to the AIR SDK that will execute a certain piece of actionscript so that all of these files are removed? Of course, it would be possible to create an installer with InstallAnywhere but then we would lose all of the checks that are performed with the standard AIR installer and uninstaller.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Ronald Kamp

Hi Ronald,
Thank you for the feature request feedback. I agree, having this functionality would be great. If you get a chance, I'd like to recommend voting for both of these ideas:
Custom hook on AIR application uninstall
Deleting local data store while unistall
You might also be able to work around this now by creating a native installer and having it sub launch your AIR installer. More details about this can be found on our redistribution instructions, and you can sign up for the licensing needed on our runtime distribution page.
Thanks,
Chris

When you make a project frame size bigger shouldn't the old clips look smaller

Im relinking 4k files to my 1920 x 1080 project. When I changed the project to 4096 x 2304, shouldnt the 1920 x 1080 clips look smaller in the viewer. The relinked new clips look the same as the old clips. Even a 1920 x 1080 motion graphic looks normal over the new 4096 x 2304 clip. The inspector shows the frame size I made both the project and the clips, but It dosent make sence that the old clips look the same size as the new clips. The first time I tried the relink to new file size I noticed the old files looked smaller, now I dont know what happened.

No. If the aspect ratio is correct, the media in the changed project will be scaled to fit the project. Select a clip (or clips) in the project and in the Video inspector open Spatial Conform. The default is set to Fit. If you want it back to normal size set it to None.

Customizing video frame size

I have to produce a video for a web site and the webmaster tells me my video must be 181x121 (height x width). If I simply resize or scale my finished video (which is 480x720), everything looks distorted.
Is there a way to crop the video frame size to exactly 181x121 ? I realize I will be throwing away some content, but that's okay.
Thanks and regards,
Warren

There is no way to do that in FCE without a third party compressor.
You can do it with a work-around using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. You them to create a multilayer image in the size you want. Import the image, which will come in as sequence. Place your edited video inside the sequence. It will probably scale to fit the screen. Scale it up and adjust the position to fit the frame the way you want it. Export it without rendering may save a recompression cycle.

Feature Request - custom crop default & making canvas larger

Please make lightroom quicker for people who use 8x10 instead of the original proportions from your camera. I am aware of the trick to copy and paste or sync with crop, however if lightroom could have a way to setup at a default custom crop so it loads up that way when first used, and keeps the crop as the default from one photo to the next that would be great!
It would also be nice if when cropping and you need to make the canvas larger and go outside of the original dimensions of the photo that lightroom does this automatically. Right now I only know to use the scaling feature, it would be much quicker to just add this logic to lightroom so it scales outside of the photo when you are cropping if thats what you would like it to do.
Thank you!

Brett I dont think you understand my question. theres two parts to it.
When you crop and select the aspect ratio theres no way to make this a default, so each time when i get to a new image i need to select 8x10 again. if 8x10 was made to be my default lightroom would not crop out some of the pixels unless I choose the crop tool and use the crop tool. I am just looking for lightroom to be faster its annoying how it defaults to the original image dimensions for the crop tool each time you select the crop tool you have to change the crop ratio.
The second request is one that rawshooter used to do automatically when you use the crop tool you can easily crop outside of the dimensions of the photo, thus making the canvas larger. this gives you an image that you can place into photoshop and fill the empty spots, this helps change the composition of the image if shot with the model in the center you can easily move the model with a crop and by filling the background in the new empty space especially easy with a simple background. I hope this helps, its easier to do more with lightroom. i do it right now with the scale feature in lightroom, but it would be faster if lightroom did it automatically if you pull the crop tool outside of the image area. Thank you!

FEATURE REQUEST: Independently zoom page size and font size

Firefox lets me zoom the page in and out, which is great, but usually useless. The problem I usually have is that font is the right size, but the text doesn't all fit in the window. What Firefox needs is a way to independently zoom text and page size. Then, I could fit all of the text in the window without making the text microscopic. Here's how it would work: CTRL+- ZOOMS JUST THE PAGE SIZE. The text size would remain the same. CTRL-SHIFT+- ZOOMS JUST THE TEXT. The page size would remain the same.
I know this is possible. The fact that Firefox can zoom the text only without affecting the page size is evidence of that. Firefox is always looking for good ideas that have never been done before. Well, this is one of them. Do it, and we would love you all forever!

Web pages with a fixed width layout will always be a problem for any zoom feature. Assuming Firefox wants to adjust the layout so it can't exceed the width of the window, should it just do a proportional adjustment of widths or try to keep sidebars the same while reducing a main area, or wrap a sidebar to the bottom of the content (as though it were a floated element), etc., etc. Maybe the experience of programming zoom on mobile browsers will feed back some learning to desktop browsers, but UI designers have a long way to go there as well.
In the short run, maybe something like the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/readability/ Readability extension] will help tame those unruly layouts?

Feature Request - Custom Brushes

Am I alone in thinking Fireworks is lacking a custom brush feature?
It's one of the only reasons I feel like I need to go into Photoshop these days.
Any word on features in CS5? This would be a definite upgrade for me if so.

I think it's an excellent idea and have been hoping that this would be incorporated into any new version of Fireworks.

Feature Request: Custom Rule

Hi,
I like to see a new feature in Adobe Kuler. Kuler allows us to create custom color shemes ignoring the rules such as analogous, monochromatic, triad etc. But once we swtich to Custom rule, all handles will start to move freely and there is no option available to lock the handles and then rotate to define more schemes based on the same custom rule. It will be even better if we can save a particular rule as we save the color schemes.

+1 for this. There should be a lock next to the colorwheel which would freeze or unfreeze the position of the arms so that one could first set the color positions in custom-mode, then click the lock and be able to rotate the entire setup (rule) around the colorwheel, as is possible with the other modes.

Two feature requests (custom graphic placeholders & variables)

After building several pages document templates, there are two features that would be a big help.
First, I created some graphical text boxes similar to those used in many manuals. The color coded box contains placeholder text and an icon to indicate note type. It would be great if I could define and manage these similar to pages. Allow the user to insert a warning box, an informational note, etc. These items would be self contained graphics with placeholder text, etc. User inserts one, modifies the text and then moves it into place. Each template should support an unlimited number of these document specific graphical objects.
Second, There needs to be a generalized variable scheme similar to the new address book feature. If I insert a page type, I might want to carry the section title or other info as one or more variables so that they can appear in later headers, footnotes, etc. for that section. Using the Business:Meeting template as an example. If I add a agenda page, it would be nice to automatically carry the meeting date and topic in the header of each additional page of agenda. Currently, the user would have to type/format info in page 1 of agenda and remember to do it in the header of agenda page 2 if the agenda failed to fit on a single page. If this info was in variables, I could define/format it for use the the header except for the first page so that it would automatically appear if the agenda ran long.
Our company has begun using Pages '06 for documents that must be repeatedly repurposed for customer email, web page spec sheets, quotes, etc. since the templates can simply be saved as pages documents on the Admin. Assist.'s machine and stored as PDFs in a public area. The admin can easily keep both locations current as specs change, etc.

Feature request -- change tooltip font size

The tooltip font size is rather small for those of us needing reading glasses or with limited vision. At the very least the tooltip font size should be changeable under the "Accessability" options. Anyone know a way to work around this? External script? Plug-in?

Frame size for a project to be displayed on a projector

I'm doing a project - probably all photographs - that will be shown on a 1024x768 projector. Is there an advantage to making the project frame size 1024x768? If I also want it on a DVD, will the shrinking/cropping affect the quality at all?
Thanks!

If it's a slide show, why not use software designed for it? Photoshop, Arpeture, or even iPhoto will work for this, and it will look great.
If you then burn a video DVD, it will degrade it obviously because the frame size, and image quality loss will be noticeable... you're going to SD video after all.

How do I change frame sizes to user-defined frame sizes

Hi,
I hope someone can help me. I dont know how to change my project frame size to a user-defined frame size.
( like from 1920x1080p to 575x900p ) Ive found nowhere a answer to this question.

You can try this workaround:

Correcting initial frame size setting error

Hi there,
A very noobie mistake on my part I'm afraid. When working with some 1280x720 footage from a DSLR I mistakenly put the initial project frame size in as 1920x1080. Hence when I export the completed video it does not fill the screen. I've looked into altering the Sequence Settings but the program won't let me change it now. Any tips out there for getting it to export at the right size. Can I copy and paste the whole thing into a new project with the correct specs or might it be a case of altering the size of the image in the Export Settings panel? This video has taken a long, long time. I can't really go back and start from scratch.
Thanks a lot people,
Jim, U.K.

Step 1: Create a new sequence in your project by dragging and dropping one of your media clips on the "New Item" button in the lower right of the Project Panel.
Step 2: Delete the clip from the new sequence leaving you with a nice empty sequence.
Step 3: Go to the orginal sequence and lasso everything on the entire timeline, and copy it.
Step 4: Paste it all into the new sequence
I believe that will give you what you are after, if you didn't scale any of the images up to 1920X1080. If you did, you will have to scale them back down to 100%.

Feature Request | Allow custom metadata per table/column to be stored

Someone please correct me if there's already a feature that allows this...
I'd like to see a feature where you can define a set of metadata that can be stored per table / column, and perhaps a trigger that updates that metadata.
As a use case, it is sometimes necessary to find out how many records exist in a table, and the typical way of doing this is by running a statement like select count(*) from example_table;. With a large table, this statement might take a long time though, and certainly has overhead associated with it. If this is something that's done on a regular basis, like maybe even once every minute, wouldn't it be much better to store this number as metadata for the table that can be updated on inserts and deletes and then can be queried? It might involve extra overhead on an insert or delete statement to add to or subtract from this number, but then for some applications the benefit of getting the count quickly might outweigh the extra overhead.
Another use case is finding a minimum or maximum out of a table. Say you store a date and you need to find the max value for some feature in your application; with a large table, and especially if its a date with accuracy to the millisecond where an index wouldn't help much because most values are unique, it can take quite a bit of time and overhead to find that max value. If you could define for that column that you'd like to store the max value in metadata, and could query it, it would be very quick to get the info. The added overhead in this scenario would be on insert, update or especially on delete, the value would have to be updated. But in some applications, if you don't expect alot of deletes or updates on this column, it might be worth the added overhead to be able to quickly find the max value for this column.
I know you could probably make a separate table to store such info, and write triggers to keep it up to date, but why not have a built in feature in Oracle that manages it all for you? When you create a table, you could define with the column definition something like 'METADATA MAX' and it will store the max value of that column in metadata for you, etc.
I know that the overhead of this feature wouldn't be good for most circumstances, but there certainly are those cases where it would be hugely beneficial and the overhead wouldn't matter so much.
Any thoughts?
Can this be submitted as a feature request? Am I asking in the right place?
(p.s. while you're at it, make a feature to mimic IDENTITY columns from SQL Server!)

I don't think what you mentioned is exactly what I was talking about. There's no min_value or max_value in the dba_tab_columns table; there's only high_value and low_value, and they are stored in binary. And I believe to be accurate in the use cases that I suggested, you would have to analyze the table after every insert/update/delete. So no, that's not the same feature I've asked for, although I appreciate the feedback.
Also, the num_rows in dba_tables relies on the table being analyzed too, so for a table that stores temporary date to be processed where you want to know the size of the queue every few seconds, it wouldn't make sense to analyze the whole table every few seconds when all you want is a count of the records, and it's also inefficient to use the COUNT function with every query when it would be much faster to store the count in some metadata form that is updated with every insert or delete (adding to a count and subtracting from a count with each insert/delete is WAY faster than analyzing the table and letting it literally recount the entire table every time).
So again, while I appreciate the feedback, I don't think what you mentioned addresses either of the use cases I gave. I'm talking about a different kind of user defined metadata that could be stored per table/column with rules to govern how it is updated. Not you standard metadata that requires an analyze and isn't real time. I also only gave a few use cases, but the feature I'm really looking for is the ability for users to define many different types of custom metadata even maybe based on their own logic.
Again, this feature could be implemented right now by creating a USERMETADATA table for every standard table you have, and then using triggers to populate the info you want at the table level and column level, but why do that when it could be built in?
Also, I don't really agree that having to create a trigger/sequence for every table instead of setting a column as IDENTITY is better. It's cumbersome. Why not build these commonly used features in? It can create a trigger/sequence behind the scenes for all I care, but why not at least let someone mark a column as IDENTITY (or use whatever other term you want) at the time of table creation and let it do everything for them. But that's off-topic; I meant it for more of a side comment, but should really have a separate post about it.

Feature Request: Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request. I've wanted to see this one for a while. If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse. I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation. A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
Moust Back Button = "BACK"
ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
ENTER opens a folder.
ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
F2 Renames a folder
ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
ESC cancels the renaming operation.
Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context. (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor. ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor. ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers. When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect. It's muscle memory, if not intuitive. I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence). And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
Preference:
checkbox: Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
checkbox: Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin. Of course that doesn't work. And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too. I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER. Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should.
I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr. However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.
