Gif export time saver?

Hi,
I would like to use fireworks within a (semi) automatic
workflow.
I will need to export to 3 different canvas sizes.
For example: start off with an image eg. 1024 x 1024 psd.
Resize without distorting the image:
640 x 640 Square
640 x 480 Landscpe
480 x 640 Portrait
I understand some cropping will be unavoidable.
Also create a duplicate with a image overlay for a gif
watermark.
Save the gif in three different folders: Square, Landscape,
Portrait.
I like the export wizard but sadly t does not show up in the
history which means I can't "save as command".
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you

Hello -
I have seen that Level 0 export should not be that bad (2-3hours max) for an 80gb database when -
1) You run the process when not much going on the server (other calcs etc)
and
2) You run parallel export of the same database with multiple threads
RegardsThanks for your experience sharing. 80GB export requires 3 hours is not bad. I heard that there are another case that requires 20 hours for 20GB database. Maybe there are some hardware or disk configuration difference.
What is the hardware configuration for your 80GB database level 0 export?

Does animated .gif export support animation of library symbols?

I'm currently using the 30-day free trial of Adobe Flash Professional CC. I was really pleased to see how easily you could export animations in animated .gif format, seemed to run without a hitch.
One thing I noticed while using Flash is that instances of symbols placed into a scene don't actually animate when you use the "Play" function -- that is to say, when you press Enter and the playhead starts moving along the timeline from its current position. They remain at the very first frame of their respective animations. In order to show the proper animations of symbols, you have to use the Test function (CTRL - Enter) to actually compile a working .swf of the thing.
This wasn't much of an issue until I tried to export in .gif format and I got this same issue. Instances of symbols don't animate, they only seem to work in compiled .swf's.
FileDropper link to the working file I'm using: http://www.filedropper.com/flashbottle
Result .gif: http://i.imgur.com/PZVXST7.gif
Since the use of symbols in the Flash workflow seems to be a rather common occurrence it seems unthinkable that Flash wouldn't support their usage with whatever mechanism they use to export animated .gif's. Is there some sort of silly mistake I'm making or checkbox I need to toggle? Or is the functionality simply not there?

Thank you for your reply!
I check exported GIFs in various browsers and XnView viewer.
It's definitely not a preview issue - i have 32Gb of RAM and Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU on my system.
I believe the issue is with transparency, because i'm able to export GIFs with solid background just fine
GIF export dialogue window has 'Transparency' checkbox, so it looks like it should be possible to export an animated GIF with transparent background, but for some reason i'm getting all frames at the same time
thank you

Animated GIF Export issues

I have a simple Flash animation which I'd like to be made
into a transparent GIF.
When I do the GIF export, only the first frame of my
movieclips (which are placed in the main timeline) get rendered. It
seems like Flash only records the main timeline preview output into
the GIF file, and does not play movieclip objects. You would expect
the GIF recording to be of the same preview as when you hit
ctrl+enter (essentially final playback).
Because of this, the GIF export is pointless. The only way to
use it is to have all your animations occur in the main timeline,
and not within movieclips. It doesn't work for me (and for most
people?), because I need to easily scale my animations, which is
doable by just resizing a movieclip.
Is there a way around this in Flash? Am I missing something?
I've had to use a 3rd-party tool (Magic SWF2GIF) to do the
GIF recording.
My other issue is Flash cannot export transparent GIF's it
seems. Because of this, I have to rely on more 3rd-party GIF tools,
most of which are rubbish.
In the end, I've had to take snap shots of every individual
frame and edit each frame as individual files in Photoshop to do
all the cropping and transparency just right. Real pain when you
are talking 50 frames, and having to do multiple animations.
Is there a way to export transparent GIF's in Flash?
Seems kind of dumb that I have all this high-end software and
loads of tools... and I still have to edit things frame by
frame.

Animated GIF export issue

Odd new issue surfaced today - frame animation plays fine when played from timeline but all layers are exported stacked on top of each other for the duration of the whole animation.
I'm able to see that because the layers have transparency.
About animation - 8 frames with in endless loop, imported into a timeline via 'Make Frames from Layers' command in a fly-out menu in the Timeliine window.
Tweens for animation are off, 01.sec delay for all frames
I was able to export animated GIF before, wondering if this issue is tied to the latest update.
Anyone else is experiencing this weird issue?

Why cant I export or save keynote as powerpoint?

Why cant I export or save keynote as powerpoint?

you still have not said what happens, does it save any kind of file, does it freeze, does it give an error message?
In the mean time I suggest the following software repair:
Delete iWork in entirely, use Appcleaner to do this quickly, its free.
empty the trash
download iWork again from the App store
reinstall iwork
repair permissions: applications > utilities > disk utility > first aid: click on the system disc then click repair disc permissions
reboot and report back your findings

QuickTimePro - Export vs Save - Different File sizes

Hi,
with the trim to selection command I selected a bigger part of an AVI-video (Video track format: MPEG-4 DivX v.5 + Audio: Mpeg-1 layer 3 (mp3)).
Although I did not change the video or audio settings I got different file sizes:
The exported video has double the size than the saved file.
Therfore my questions:
What is the reason?
What should I prefer - export or save - trying to get smaller files with the same quality?
Thanks for a tip.Greetings from the heart of Germany

HI mrfibuli
I think you are seeing a general housecleaning of things that
were formerly in your library. For example, lets say you took a
fairly large project. Perhaps 80 slides. Then you delete 60 slides.
This would leave many items in the library. They would be there,
but be unused. So you save as, and after a couple of times of doing
this, the unused objects are purged from the file. This is why you
are seeing a difference in size.
Sincerely... Rick

Gif - file help: i don't want to read the gif each time from the file.....

Hello there guys,
i'm making a game and therefor i need to read a gif file like 20 times.
i don't want my program to read the gif each time from the file, but only once.
so i load it into an image or something?
cuz opening the gif 20 times from my hard disk is a lot of time loss....
opening it once and store it is much more efficient
thx in advance
plz help me out, cuz i don't really know how to do it.
(in Delphi it's easy, but Java......)
greetz,
SpeciesXX
Ramon Ribbe

yes, it works, i used this code, thx man
void button1_ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)
          ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("f:/a.gif");
          JLabel label = new JLabel();
          label.setIcon(image);
          this.getContentPane().add(label);
          label.setBounds(10,10,100,100);
and there i see my image :-)
but 1 more thing, should i display all those blocks (images) on an applet, or should i use something else? (like what??)
a sort of frame?
because later on i have the field where all the blocks are in, and i have an area surrounding it, displaying all kinda information about the game, like how many lives remaining....
can i put 2 applets in eachother? like applet1 is the parent of applet2?
or should i use something else?
plz help me, cuz java is kinda new to me i see....
in delphi i just used 2 forms, form 1 with the blocks, form2 with the rest of info, and also being the parent of form1
thx again, soon i can help ya guys too, i hope..
(im learning java at school, but way too slow and to ez)

windows live mail having problem after joining in domain examples incoming is good but sent or outgoing is not there and also send mails are not exporting at the time of live mail exporting time?

This is not usually related to AD issues, but it may be more of a DNS issue. I posted a request in your other thread to post an unedited ipconfig /all of the DC and of the client.
This may help use diagnose this issue and your other thread's printer issues.
Thank you,

Is it possible to save or export an e-book chapter from Adobe Digital Editions? Is it possible to export or save from Adobe Digital Editions to an Adobe pdf?

I hope you won't see this as rude, but what you are missing is the obvious point that Adobe are in business to make money. So they put as little in Adobe Reader as they can, so people are motivated to buy stuff. Every development intended for Reader has severe limitations on feasibility and techniques for this reason; it's a huge (but very common) mistake to just develop for Acrobat and assume Reader will follow.

every time save a new contact dont Shows in Outlook 2007

Hi,
You need to go ahead and complete it.
Before you can enter a phone number for a contact, you need to enter your telephone area code and save it . This way Outlook will know how to format your phone numbers.
You can configure this in Control Panel > Phone and modem.

LR4 - Anyone notice slower export times - RAW to JPG?

I read through the "Lightroom 4 is slow" thread - very good reading. I have noticed many of the same issues & hope Adobe is paying attention to that thread!
No one mentioned a slowdown in exporting RAW files to JPG. My average time for exporting Canon 7D CR2 files to full sized 300dpi JPGs in LR 3 is about 5.3 seconds per file. The same exports in LR 4 are about 8 seconds per file.
I can learn to live with this increased exporting time. I'm curious as to whether anyone else is experiencing this.

Yes. For me, Canon G12 & 40D RAW files are taking twice as long to export under LR4 than under 3.6 - 16 secs vs 8 secs after the same processing. But I am also seeing the same general latency problems identified in other threads here. I've reverted back to 3.6 after trying every possible workaround posted so far - LR4 is unusable for me.

Trying to shorten export time

Been trying to export 1920x1080 using h.264 codec for posting on web. I first set up my own Export but took 8 hrs to finish 35%. Been looking at the Apple Devices 720 or 1080 options now. I switch options from Apple Device to Web Hosting but there's no indication of changes in size changes the size and therefore length of time to export (generally). Tho Apple Devices produces a "protected MPEG-4" movie and Web Hosting a "Quicktime" movie.
Any suggestions on choices for export?
OR
Has anyone had problems withi export time and then solved them? If so, how?
Any other tips appreciated.

My workflow for a YouTube project is:
Completely render the project before exporting.
Export to whatever the current codec is set for (so... just Export with current settings), typically ProRes 422(HQ) [my general preference established when creating a project] or sometimes ProRes LT and if necessary, ProRes 4444. It really doesn't matter, when the project is completely rendered and exporting to a ProRes format, the export is about 1/5 to 1/2 run time (about 2 - 5 minutes for every 10 of video -- probably dependent on your storage bandwidth.)
Exporting H.264 for YouTube of Vimeo straight out of FCPX is *absolutely pointless* since FCPX does not offer any quality options (always exports highest quality H.264) and YouTube and others are just going to recompress down to their limit anyway. I never give YT that opportunity...
I use Quicktime 7 Pro (about 100,000 times easier than compressor [hyperbole]) to transcode to YouTube specifications. The maximum bandwidth YT will "place" is 5Mbps... so I transcode to, at most, 5Mbps. Turn on Auto Key Frames; Turn off Frame Reordering; Data Rate Restrict to 5000 kbits/sec; Optimize for Streaming; Compressor Quality (max available) to High; Encoding to Best Quality (Multi-pass). For the Size options, I use the HD settings from the top section (anything below the start of NTSC will create broadcast tv "safe" video [overscan] and will not be completely compatible with digital targets such as YT [it will be smaller].) I also set Preserve Aspect Ratio Using Letterbox (YT used to have problems with 1920x1080 video being a little "squished" vertically to compensate for the transport controls... probably just habit now.) Audio: Format AAC; Sample Rate 48000; Variable bit rate ~192kbps. And check the Prepare for Internet Streaming checkbox and select Fast Start. Except for the variable bit rate audio and the letterboxing stuff, these are the specifications YT put down in its documention.
Converting from the ProRes output from FCPX to the H.264 for YT in QT7Pro is actually faster than trying to export H.264 directly out of FCPX (and compressor for that matter...)
I find if you simply change the m4v filletype to .mov, you don't need all the web page stuff that gets generated, you can simply load the video up in a browser from a direct URL. Exporting to Apple Devices is a quick way to transcode 1080 out of FCPX to the smaller sized 720 video when necessary.
Here's an example of an .m4v Apple Devices video with the filetype manually changed to .mov:
http://sight-creations.com/video/2.5demo_noPS.mov
Will it upload to YT? Yep: here's the proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH1mIli8EpA (but this one has no audio -- be very careful about the audio settings of what you upload to YT... they don't like Linear PCM [AIFF, WAV, etc... YT wants AAC])

No, not in the Photos app. You would need to purchase/download a phot editing app for that.

Dreadful export time

Hi,
I'm exporting a reference movie for a producer to screen, and a native 5 minute HD clip (not changing any export settings) is taking 15 minutes or so. I've tried several combinations of movies, smaller size, least quality, etc, and these take longer at every turn. Is the long export time my HD fate? Or is there an alternative anyone uses that is FASTER? It's just for reference, so speed is the most important factor.
Thanks for any suggestions, John O

HD means what flavor?
If it is HDV, that is a computational intensive codec and takes a while.
A faster computer would assist.
