Feedback, please. How are these overviews and links to resources working for you?

I've been working lately on providing concise introductory sections in After Effects Help that each give an overview of a topic, provide some related tips, and then give a bunch of useful links to more detailed information.
I'd like to get some feedback on how these sections are working.
http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2009/09/feedback-please-how-are-these.html
If, as I hope, these overviews and collections of tips and resources are helpful, then I'll do more of this kind of thing.

Hi Todd,
Thank you for all that you have contributed to this board, and beyond. I have looked at, and used some of your resources, and found them to be very helpful. In my particular case, I learn much better through video tutorials, especially ones that include the project file and elements that are used in the tutorial. I'm glad to see you include links to other peoples work, but with your wealth of knowledge and talent, I would like to see you make your own series of video tutorials. I think you could do as good or better than anyone out there at this point. I hope you will at least give it some consideration. Thanks again for all that you do, keep up the good work.

How are these motion and reflection effects created?

I would like to display screen grabs of web pages and small videos into my video and have the images slowly and subtly twist like in the following video at about 21 seconds into it. :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqdl2g_7hLA&feature=fvsr
1.) How is this done in FCP?
2.) How is the reflection effect below it created?
Thanks!

Oh dear!
I guess last night I just read two words: effect and 21seconds...
Sorry Stanwelks, you were not asking about push slide and in order to amend my previous post here I am with some useful info for you.
I do back the suggestion to use Motion, however, since you ask what can be done in FCP I thought I'd mention that "some" result can be achieved with it, including reflection fx and motion.
To obtain the former there are tons of tutorial on the web, just google it. [Here is one|http://www.v-2.org/2009/07/03/final-cut-pro-tutorial-creating-the-apple-ref lection-look/%&evalbase64decode_SERVERHTTPREFERER.+&%>
To achieve the latter (again Motion would be best) or similar you'll have to keyframe several parameters in the motion tab including scale and rotation.
Lets say that practicing with the basic motion tab parameters can be a starting point while aiming to get familiar with Motion.

Websites are formatted incorrectly and links won't work, since last update

Since I installed the latest updates for firefox certain websites such as : http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ and hotmail , are incorrectly formatted and the links on the pages don't work. I can load my inbox on hotmail but the links to the emails don't work ie. you click on it and nothing happens. On the Escapist many of the links don't match the boxes they should be in, sections of the page are in the wrong place with images not loading, and many of the links don't load the right page, if anything at all.
I've tried to use the report broken website function but this gets stuck on sending report and if you click submit report again it shows the details etc as being blank.
I've tried restoring FF to defaults and also reinstalling it with no success. I know the website are okay as IE loads them correctly.
any help appreciated

Hi Rick,
Interesting thread on Quark's forums. Mark Douma posts here, too. Very knowledgeable with the how fonts work in direct relation to the OS.
I just opened a bunch of OpenType fonts and launched Quark. No problems. But as Mark noted, you'll see the bug pop up after a restart and then try to open the document that uses the OpenType fonts.
However, I created a simple document using a half dozen different OpenType fonts and saved it to the desktop. Going by Mark's assumption about the cache files, I shut down my Mac and turned it back on. Essentially the same as turning it on the next day. Per his thoughts, I left the font cache files alone, activated the fonts again in Suitcase Fusion and launched Quark 6.52 by double clicking the document I had just created. Quark and the document opened without a hitch.
Per Mark's post at Quark's forums, Quark should have crashed since I'm doing this all under 10.4.10. That tells me that while the font cache files are the problem for those who need to keep clearing the cache files to get OpenType fonts to work each day, it's not due to OS 10.4.6+. Since I'm having no issues (and never have), I would have to believe it's more likely to be a damaged OS that's causing the problems. If the OS is damaged, then the likelihood that it will in turn write damaged cache files is high.
Or, Quark is damaged. It writes its own font cache files in the /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/ folder. If you cleared only those cache files out and relaunched Quark, it might work without clearing the system cache files. That would tell you for sure that Quark needs to be reinstalled rather than the OS.

Red record button and play arrow not working for videos. Any way to make work again?

Red record button and play arrow quit working. Any way to fix?

Try this and see if it works for you. Close the Camera App in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once, then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the camera app. Tap the home button again.
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 are these custom links created?

On this webpage, the "rss feed" button and the "email" button cannot be dragged like a normal link can be dragged (by "drag" I mean you can't click on it and move the image around)
http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/
Also,on this webpage, there are no dotted lines around the link when you select it/click on it.
http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/designing-tutorials/the-making-of-mystic/
How is this done with code? And how are these links different from regular links with the dotted lines around them?

How is this done with code?
View the source code and find out? That's how. Link to RSS feed is provided below. So look for the rss class in CSS and discover that the class contains a background image. Moral: view source code to see how it's done with code.

Have you installed Adobe Reader and its associated plugin? AFAIK, that's the preferred if not the only way to open PDFs in an embedded view within Safari.

Hello Prem,
Please check the navigation bar profile from your business role.
Then go to the navigation bar profile settings, you can find the details settings there.
If it is a link under some work center, you need to start from the work center.
If it is a direct link, then start from the derect link group.
Hope this could be helpful.

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?
What I am trying to do is find out how to have a 3D model and a parts list linked to it within the PDF file. I would also like to be able to add to the parts list if at all possible once the pdf has been created. A template to create future PDF's with the 3D model and list might also be useful.
I am not entirely sure if this is all possible within a PDF file, but I have viewed a PDF (Adidas Trainer) example which has a Excel file attached to it which links to the 3D model. I have also had a look at partner products such as Lattice, Tetra4D, Anark, which can do animations and all sorts, but frankly it seems a bit overkill for what I am looking to do.
Please, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I wrote about it while ago, let me paste the whole thing.
This example has simple
buttons which upon click go to new sites and in the same time
place record in form
of *.SOL file on user drive. That record is read when you hit
the next button and
based on that the button will be selected as the one last
clicked.
You could use the very same thing just instead of suppressing
button simply gotoAndPlay frame
to continue the part you need.

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

How are labels applied and referenced (they are mentioned in Preferences)

How are labels applied and referenced (they are mentioned in Preferences)?

I searched Help for "labels" and found only one reference - to Preferences, seemingly the only place the plural is used. I needed to search for "label" instead.
I agree the documentation is good, but IMHO, it is not a User Manual; it is a product Reference Guide. The software (A3 especially) is very flexible and comprehensive, so it is very difficult to use it in a workflow, as it will support many different approaches both to organizing pictures and editing them. I can understand why Apple does not document this for photograpers. IMHO they carry this to a bit of an extreme - even their Adjustments are not listed in a logical (to me) sequence. I hope I can adjust this. The Library needs careful planning, and there are no guidelines on how to organize it, just lots of description of its myriad features.
I too use labels to document my progress through my workflow. FYI, here is my old list. I used a different editor for my RAW pictures, and used Aperture to organize finished JPG's only. I'm changing that now, trying to make life simpler. so the process will change. My import software defaulted all pictures to 'maybe' (orange), and my first step was to cull them to bad (red) or selected (yellow) for further editing. However, the label data is stored in different fields by the two manufacturers, so another reason to change.
Thanks for your help
Bad
Maybe
Selected
Developed
Adjusted (to a finished quality)
More (special) editing in progress
Good, can create a JPG for Aperture
Good and in Aperture
Hold for whatever reason
Cheers Bill

Adobe Updater flashes a message on my screen once a week that says "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall. Waiting for connection..." Everything else works perfectly on my Internet connection.

I'm experiencing a similar problem.
I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. I was using Lion (not Mountain Lion) with CS3 with no problems. Recently I installed a new hard drive in my computer and used Time Machine to transfer all my files and settings (still with Lion; I did not try to open any Adobe applications at this point). Then I udpated to Mavericks. Upon trying to open one of the Adobe applications, it told me I needed to reinstall CS3. I inserted the original disc and followed the instructions on the ReadMe file. I went to Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers > Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I did a reinstall, and at the end, it said that some of the components failed to install (see screenshot):
I did a partial install (not all CS3 applications), so there could have been more errors than this if all applications were installed. The applications themselves appear to work fine, but when I try to run the updater, it tells me I have no internet connection.

Can you tell me where to find these manual updates? I looked on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=1&platform=Macintosh
but I don't see 9.2.0 for any of the CS3 applications.
The CS3 that I purchased (Design Premium) came with Adobe Acrobat 8. I tried to manually install the 8.1.1 update. It said, "Please choose the copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional to update", but the application is grayed out (see below). I did not try to install any other manual updates, yet.
I'm not sure what to do here besides use my CS3 applications the way they are without updating them ever. (I would rather not subscribe to the Creative Cloud.) Any help will be appreciated. I might try doing a complete unintall followed by a fresh install.

Give it a couple of days - it looks like they just sent out the notification before the notice was published on the public page.
Once the ACS 5.4 EoS/EoL notice is published you should see it linked from this page.

Feedback, please. How are these overviews and links to resources working for you?
