Help getting an image to scale and move?

I have a still image in the timeline and I select it to load it back in the Source Window.
- On the first frame I select the Position and Scale watch icons.
- I then click to add a keyframe for both Position and Scale.
- I drag the Playhead to the last frame
- I add a keyframe for both Position and Scale on the last frame
- I scale the image down on the last frame
- I change it position by typing in a new coordinate
However, when I drag through the clip with the Playhead nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

The first one is easy enough. You are not looking in the right place. It isn't in the sequence, they are on the timeline in the Effect Controls panel.
You need to look in the Effect Controls panel - see the red circles around the keyframes. If your panel does not show the images timeline in the Effect Controls panel, the second image shows you the arrow to click on.
You might want to try putting the keyframes a bit in from the beginning and a bit in from the end. That way you can see the keyframes easier. Once set the way you want them, you can select the keyframes and move the to the beginning or the end as required. Do this just so you can see the keyframes easier at first. Warning, you might want to zoom all the way in at the beginning and the end to make sure the keyframe is at the beginning or the end. Sometimes dragging it does not get it all the way there.
Your second issue is possibly more complicated. If you set the motion parameters before you click on the stopwatches, and you do not change anything after setting the stopwatches, then you must manually set a keyframe for each
If you set the stopwatches, then change the settings (both of them), the keyframes are placed for you. Once you move the CTI, if you change either motion setting, new keyframes will appear.
Let me know if this helps. Otherwise I will be more specific with my next tutorial.

I just downloaded a movie and when I try to watch it, I just get an image with white and gray squares. ???? Sound is ok

Hello: I just downloaded a movie but I cannot any video when trying to watch it. I just get n image of white and grey squares. Sound is ok ???

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How do I cut an image in half and move the halves independently?

How do I cut an image in half, and move the halves independently?

Use the rectangular marquee tool to select half the image, then Layer>New Layer via cut. You can turn on the rulers and set a guide so you'll know the boundaries you want if you need it to be exactly half.
If you want to also be able to move the other half, before you start double click the background layer in the layers panel to turn it to a regular layer.

Need help on transportable tablespace, after convert and move datafile over

I need help on transportable tablespace, after convert and move datafile over the target server, How do I plug them in to the ASM instance?
And How do I start the database ? what controlfile I should use?
Thanks.

Wallpaper scale and move

Setting wallpaper scale and move will not work on iPad 2?

Try going into the photos app. Find your wallpaper and 'send' it by tapping on the box with the arrow poking out of it. You will have a bit more ability to scale and move that you do going in through the wallpaper part of the settings.

JS CS3 flag duplicate images with scale and rotation differnce

I've been trying to cut down on the number of images a script I have would produce. The old script would look for links that are being used multiple times and then just version the link which is fine. What I am finding this that although a document may have one image linked 9 time 6 times out of the nine the image is scaled and rotated the same amount and the other 3 times the rotation and scaling also match. In this example the image only needs 2 versions the first as the original and the second with the scale and rotation of the image used 3 time let say.
So to the code:
The following code will work through the doc and create an array of the links as duplicates:
function LinkUsage(myLink) {
    var myLinkCounter = 0;
        for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.links.length; myCounter++) {
        if (myLink.filePath == myDoc.links[myCounter].filePath) {
            myLinkCounter++;
    return myLinkCounter
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;var myNumLinks = [];
for ( var t = myDoc.links.length-1; t >= 0; t-- ){
    if(LinkUsage(myDoc.links[t])>1){
            myNumLinks.push(myDoc.links[t].id);
Is there a way to loop through the array and only flag the differnent scale and roatations. What I should get is that out of the multiple link uasage the image is only changed twice out of the 9 times used.
I was trying to loop through the array and then loop through it within the loop to compare the link but this does not work for obvious reasons.
for (var i=0 ; i <myNumLinks.length; i++){
    var valLink = myDoc.links.itemByID( myNumLinks[i]);
        if(valLink.parent.constructor.name == "Image"){
            for (var j=0 ; j<myNumLinks.length; j++){
                if(myDoc.links.itemByID( myNumLinks[j]).parent.constructor.name == "Image"){
                    if(valLink.parent.parent.images[0].rotationAngle != myDoc.links.itemByID( myNumLinks[j]).parent.parent.images[0].rotationAngle){
                        $.write(myNumLinks[i]+"\n");
Is what I am trying to do possible and if so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers, John.

I think I might be one step closer to getting this to work. I've been able to just capture the file path of the duplicates using:
//count the number of times the link is used
function LinkUsage(myLink) {
    var myLinkCounter = 0;
        for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.links.length; myCounter++) {
        if (myLink.filePath == myDoc.links[myCounter].filePath) {
            myLinkCounter++;
    return myLinkCounter
//check if the filepath has been added to the array
function chkVal(val){
    var compCount = 0;
    for(var arr = 0; arr < myNumLinks.length; arr++){
        if(val == myNumLinks[arr] ){
        compCount++;
    if(compCount >=1){
        return false;
        }else{
            return true;
//check the links inthe doc
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNumLinks = [];
for ( var t = myDoc.links.length-1; t >= 0; t-- ){
    if(LinkUsage(myDoc.links[t])>1){
        if(myNumLinks == 0){
            myNumLinks.push(myDoc.links[t].filePath);
            }else{
                if(chkVal(myDoc.links[t].filePath)){
                    myNumLinks.push(myDoc.links[t].filePath);
for (var i=0 ; i <myNumLinks.length; i++){
    $.write(myNumLinks[i]+"\n");

Superimposing layers each with isolated rotation, scale, and "move"ment

This application seems like it should be easy, but two hours of experimentation have not solved the puzzle. I have two transparent graphic eps files. One I turn into a background layer by flattening it. My need is to articulate detail on both files, which requires that the background image remain unchanging and the second (file's) image be superimposed over it and -independently- rotated, scaled, and moved. Of course the second image is opened on some unknown variety of layer, but which I've been unable to discover. That's my conundrum, should be intuitively simple but has proven impossible. Anyone?

"...is there a way to precisely scale, move, and rotate an image..."
Yes, there is, and controls appear in the Options bar. For example, pictured here:
the circled item allows a specific rotation, and the symbol appearing in the Edit > Transform image
may be dragged to a particular "pivot point" in the image if you prefer.
Note also that you may revise height & width (note the Link symbol to maintain proportion)
The far left X and Y fields, when used with your keyboard arrow keys, provide for shifting an image in small, measured increments.

How do I get music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes onto my iPod touch?

I just bought the 32 G iPod touch bc I read online that the 8G holds 2000 songs plus other stuff and the 32G holds 8000 songs plus more. I have 3000 songs on my iTunes and for some reason it said it won't hold more than 2600. Also I can't figure out to put the music videos, tv shows, and movies from my iTunes synced onto my iPod touch. Help?

The advertised number of songs an iPod can hold is based on set factors such as the encoding for each song and the length for each song.
Transferring movies is selected under the Movies tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
Transferring TV Shows is selected under the TV Shows tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.
Include Music Videos is selected under the Music tab for your iPod sync preferences with iTunes.

How do I get an image from Picasa and transfer it to photoshop to work on it.?

how do I obtain an image from picasa and bring it to ps to work on it?

Are you using a Windows system, and do you have File Explore set to show extensions? I am wondering if the file name might look like:
'Starbirds Picture.jpg.tiff' ?
The fact that you say the image looks different after reducing its bit depth makes me think you are right about it being 32 bit, but as Chris said, it can't be a JPG.
Your computer monitor is not capable of displaying the full tonal range of a 32bit image produced by an HDR program like Photomatix or Photoshop, so it has to make compromises. You have to chose what process to use to reduce its bit depth to give it the look you are after. I prefer Photomatix for HDR. If you install a trial version and open your 32 bit image in it, you can then chose one of the options to convert it to 16 or 8 bit. These might be Tone Mapping, Exposure Fusion, or Tone Compression. Tone Mapping is the option that produces the typical HDR look.
But you are using Photoshop. I haven't noticed what version you are using, but Google Photoshop (your version) HDR processing, and you'll see how to control the end look of the image.

Recreate scale and move action seen in Keynote tutorial

How do I recreate the effect seen in the "Move A to B" Keynote tutorial seen on the Keynote help page? It appears that the photo of the woman's face moves and scales down in size at the same time. I understand how to move the object and then scale it but in the tutorial it appears to happen at the same time. Is there a way to create that effect? All help appreciated. (My first post here, so far nothing but impressed after switching to mac.)

Welcome to the forum, and to the Mac!
Combining actions and builds is pretty simple, and is done in the Build Order flyout drawer in the Action Inspector palette. Create your move action, then click the small "Add Action" plus sign at the bottom of the Action palette to add your scale action. When you add this action, the Build Order drawer will appear, listing the actions/builds for the slide. In order to combine actions/builds, you simply need to select an action and in the bottom "Start Build" drop-down menu choose "Automatically with build #" (where "#" is the prior build). After doing this, your object will move and scale simultaneously (and could also rotate and change opacity, if you wanted, as all these actions can be put together in any combination using this technique).
This procedure is also how you get multiple objects to build in or out together. Playing with the time delay for the build (just below the "Start Build" dropdown) can also produce some very nice effects.

I need help getting this video into itunes and on my ipod.

i don't know if this is possible...
the band the films have a new music video "black shoes" on their website. www.the-films.com i got it on my computer and it plays as a movie in quicktime, but i can't figure out how to get it into itunes and on my ipod, if that's possible. i tried to open it in imovie and i couldn't get that to work either. any help would be awesome. thanks.

To get it into iTunes go to file-->add to library and find the file.
Try opening quicktime and open the file. Does it play there? It has to be able to play in QT otherwise iTunes will not accept it.

Images that zoom and move jitter after render.

I have a bunch of pictures that I put to music. Some move across the screen or zoom slowly. The images move smoothly until I render them, then it's like the images are on some bumpy path or something. They jitter or bump as they move.
I have de-interlaced the images, have changed the image formats, added max flicker filter, ensured that my render settings were at 100%, have redone the motion, have doubled the resolution of the image file (just in case the pixels were conflicting or having trouble at that resolution), and have adjusted settings in the individual item's properties.
My project was supposed to be delivered to the customer yesterday, but there's no way I'm going to deliver a jittery video. The problem is also equally noticeable on the DVD I produced . I have never had this problem in the past. Like I say, when the render bar is green, everything is smooth. After render, bumpy motion. All the motion (for the most part) is perfectly horizontal or vertical.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I had the exact same problem and was able to overcome it using a hack... this seems to be a bug in FCE.
I fixed it by rotating all my original images 90 degrees, replacing them in the timeline, rotating them back, then applying the zoom effects. They look perfect now. (Strange but true.)
Anyone with a better solution to this issue?
