Help with Layer Positioning and TimeLine

Hello all, here is my situation:
I am trying to do a simple Layer animation for my home
page... 4 Layers startoff at the right of my webpage(table) and end
up at the left handside, as an example.
My problem is I have a main 1x1 table that is centered, and
that works fine to center all the text and images that are within
it, but the layers that I tried placing within it stay absolute to
the screen and not relative to the table.... and if I try to
specify relative position in the first place for any of the layers
that Layer disapears from my Layer panel and I cannot timeline with
it???!!!
This Started out as a lame trial to avoid making a flash
movie for this animation.. but right now I am more interested in
knowing the possibilities and limitations of using Layers and
Timelines in Dreamweaver.... Any help or comments are most welcome.

I have requested that the thread be removed, Andrew. That's
the best we can
do, I'm afraid. Thing is, it can only be removed from the
webforums, and
not from the local computers of those who have already
downloaded the
message. Also, if Google Groups synched already, then it's
like being
carved in stone....
You can see if that's the case by searching here -

  • Need help with HD capture and timeline settings

    I am trying to capture HD shot on a Z1. I am using a sony M10u. What settings should I set FCP to for log and capture and for the project timeline. I only have the deck for 24 hours and have about 15 hours of footage so time is not on my side. I am in PAL. Thanks Atnony

    hi, easy setup / HDV / hdv 1080i/50 (if you are in the UK), or 1080i/60 for ntsc. when you enter log and capture it will open the hdv capture tool and bobs your uncle, does your deck connect via firewire? because this setup is under the assumption that it is. now be swift capture like your life depended on it, be sure to do a short test then get it in. good luck.

  • Need some help with region position

    Hi,
    I need som help with regions position....
    Background:
    I have 2 regions, I will call them reg1, reg2 and reg3.
    reg1 = Page Template Body (2. items below region content), column 1, search region.
    reg2 = Page Template Body (2. items below region content), column 2, import file region.
    reg3 = Page Template Body (3. items above region content), column 1, search result, grid region, very wide.
    Issue with the position, the setup explained makes my layout like this
    reg1--------------------------------reg2
    ------------------reg3--------------------
    What I want:
    reg1-reg2
    ------------------reg3--------------------
    What am I doing wrong?
    Regards Daniel

    Daniel,
    this will also work:
    Region1 HTML table cell attributes
    width="10%"
    Region2 HTML table cell attributes
    align="left"
    without touching the page template.

  • Help with computer setup and PP settings for faster/better previews

    I have been using Cyberlink PowerDirector software for video editing.  It is very easy to use and can do quite a bit.  It was also accelerated by Intel HD graphics built into my system, so I could see a lot of my work at a pretty high resolution in real time.
    However, I wanted to see what PP was capable of, specifically the Warp Stabilizer.
    So I downloaded PP and have been trying to use it, but it was just slow as heck to preview anything (chop stop chop stop...), with render times being insanely long (12 hours for five minutes of footage vs. about 30 minutes with PowerDirector).
    Thinking it was a problem with my system and I needed to get a real graphics card, I got an EVGA GTX 670 (FTW) for $400, and popped it in.  I modified the text file so PP would see it as a compatible card, opened up PP and changed the engine to the new card. 
    Things are faster, but I was expecting a lot more.  Here's what I'm doing:
    1. Shooting Canon 5D mark II (now III) clips 20-60 seconds long, 1080p.
    2. Import to PP and sequence them.
    3. Adding effects:
         A. Top adjustment layer for fast color correction (white balance)
         B. Next adjustment layer: 3-way color, shadow/highlight, unsharp mask, fast blur
         C. Video 1 layer has the clips with warp stabilizer applied to each, and dissolves.
    My final output will be 720p.  ( I shoot 1080p so the Warp Stabilizer will have more to work with, and I can crop without feeling like I'm degrading quality).
    My system: i7 2600k, 16GB RAM, GTX 670 graphics, 120GB SSD "Max IOPS", 2TB 7200rpm internal, 2TB 7200rpm external (USB 2.0, backup drive).
    I can currently preview at 1/4 res in realtime.  I would really like to be able to get to 1/2 res (of course full would be great).  One thing that worries me is that GPU-Z indicates that my GPU is only running at about 2% while previewing, while CPU usage is at around 50%.  I was under the impression that the Mercury thing would use GPU/CUDA to process previews and effects that are supported (that includes Warp Stabilizer).
    I've looked at Sequence Settings and fiddled with Preview File Format and size, but that doesn't seem to do anything.  I'm currently looking around at codecs (Cineform, DNxHD), but don't know if those can help.
    What settings should I alter to get better previews? 

    Well I'm still pretty clueless about this, but for anyone who is looking at this and wondering, here's what I've gleaned:
    1.  After Effects, especially CS6, makes much more and better use of graphics cards than does Premiere Pro.  I'm guessing that PP will, in future versions, make better use of them.  For now, no need to spend more than a couple hundred bucks on one.
    2.  Update the software.  PP and AE both performed substantially better after installing the .01 update from adobe.  After you install the update, be sure to re-do the CUDA hack, if necessary.
    3.  As it stands, money for a PP system is best spent on a processor, as in the newest Intel (currently Ivy Bridge), and overclocked.  This is where performance happens.  I'd say on a 2012 system, 16 GB RAM should be considered a minimum for video editing, and 24 or 32 if you can afford it.  More than that probably won't be utilized.  Hard disks can affect performance, but I don't think it's a bottleneck unless you're doing something that requires VERY fast/large reads and writes (4k source?).  Most people who have high-end editing stations also have a bunch of drives in RAID, but if you look at the performance chart, the SECOND highest scoring tester did not use RAID (though did use a presumably fast and large SSD).
    Keep in mind that all of this has to do with RENDER speeds.  I still don't know what the bottleneck is for PREVIEWS, but I'm just going to assume it's the same.

  • Help with div positioning

    I am an utter newbie when it comes to html and CS5.  Since I happen to own a copy of CS5 I have been drafted to take a stab at a very basic website for a non-profit I work with.  The site can be seen here  www.kidscareco.com
    I have searched all around this site and the web in general for an answer to my question and while I have found lots of information on absolute vs relative position and "clear", I haven't been able to cypher out a solution to my particular problem.
    I am having trouble getting one particular div to stay where I want it.  I'm entirely sure that it is my fault and thus am not angry at the div.  I am hopeful that someone here can offer me a few lines of css code to get the errant div to stay where it should be.  I am attaching the html and css for the page in question.  The page is based on a template which I can post if it is somehow helpful but I believe that the code from the "index" page is sufficient.
    The div in question is #meat.  (content text is: Since 1990, Kids Care Clubs has empowered children to make a better  world through hands-on service projects.We give parents, teachers and  youth leaders the resources they need to involve kids in the good works  that will mean a brighter future for all.)  I would like for it to stay neatly under the spry menu, near the top of the page and for it to expand and contract both vertically and horizontally as the browser window is resized.  I have tried several different "solutions" with little success except for restricting the width of the div to about 600px but that leaves a considerable amount of white space when the page is viewed full screen on a large monitor and it forces the text down the page in an unworkable way once the actual text within the div starts to get into the order of 1000 words or so.  Suggestions and helpful critique are welcomed.
    Thank you!

    Hi Mike,
    I'm going to suggest you start over with a pre-built CSS layout for this project.  It's much simpler than building a page layout from scratch.  Also, liquid layouts are very tricky to control.  A fixed-width layout is much easier to work with.  Here's a sample 2-column, fixed-width, centered layout to get you started.
    http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/CSS-Basic-2-column-layout.shtml
    Making your prototype page into a DW Template is just about the last step in your design process.  After you are completely satisfied with how your protoype.html page looks and works in all browsers, then saveAs Template.
    Best of luck with your project, and have fun!!

  • Help with playbar positioning

    I currently have a Captivate playbar that is positioned in
    the upper right corner of the screen.
    I have used Flash to modify the height, width, x and y axis
    of the file.
    The new horizontal position (the distance the playbar is from
    the top of the window) is good. I’d like to the vertical
    position (the distance from the right side of the window) to be
    about 30 additional pixels from its current location.
    I have modified the flash playbar.fla to allow for the
    additional distance. I have added 60 pixels of additional length to
    the cpPlaybar movie. Additionally I have shifted the center marker
    30 pixels so that it (the center position marker) is still in the
    center.
    When I test the file with the new player it isn’t
    positioned to the right like I thought it would.
    I’m missing something. Has anyone successfully modified
    these aspects of the playbar? If so, where might I look to change
    these parameters?
    Thank you,
    TPK

    > Is this right?
    Usually not. In your case, on a page with no content and only
    images, you
    are probably safe, subject to the limitation described below.
    By the way, it's best not to use file/pathnames containing
    spaces. It can
    get you into trouble on the web.
    ---> MrsB Fixed.css
    > Firefox is giving me blue outlines around
    > some elements but Safari is not.
    Add this to your CSS -
    a img { border:none; }
    > The content in the Main Container is also
    > moving when the browser is resized.
    This is the penalty for having used layers, which are glued
    to the screen at
    the locations specified, hence "absolute positioning".
    You can fix this by making div#container have these
    additional styles -
    position:relative;
    text-align:left;
    and by adding this style to your body rule -
    text-align:center;
    (you will likely need to reposition all the layers after
    doing this)

  • Help with Layer Modes

    Well...im new here at photoshop so i dont know if im asking in the right place or not but i really need help with something to do with layers
    I have one layer [the basic bottom layer] and an image that ive already cropped out and colour corrected that i wanted to put over my bottom layer without losing any texture, like the effect where you have your layer/brush mode on the "colour" setting and you colour over something and its basically a colour replacement...Seeing that technique doesnt work too well with an image, i would greatly appreciate any help :3

    Hello! If you are trying to blend images together to create texture, I would use the Multiply or Screen blending mode, depending on how light or dark your images are.
    Here I took an image of a bird and placed it on top of a tree texture.
    Is that what you mean?

  • Need help with Boot Camp and Win 7

    I have iMac 27" (iMac11,1) 2.8 GHz, quad core, 8MB of L3, 8GB of Memory, Boot ROM Version IM111.0034.B02 and SMC Version 1.54f36 and can't get this machine to run Windows 7 using Boot Camp.  I have successfully loaded Win 7 but when it claims to be starting I only get a black screen after initial start up.
    I have checked and rechecked my software updates and have read and reread the instructions, however, I can't update my Boot Camp to 3.1 (my machine says i'm running 3.0.4) and I need 3.1 but can't load 3.1 because it is an exe file that has to be loaded into Windows after I load Windows but can't open Windows because I can't load Boot Camp 3.1.  That's my excuse anyway, so I'm missing something I just can't figure out what it is....this is where you come in!
    Thanks.

    Mike,
    I'm not going to be much help with Boot Camp however I can direct you to the Boot Camp forum where there are more people that know how to troubleshoot it and Windoze 7. You can find it at:

  • Need help with Airport Express and so on.

    Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
    My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

    DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
    The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
    You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.

  • Hello I have a few questions and I need some help with my iTunes and  iPod

    Hello iTunes people.
    I have a little problem with my iTunes. I actually almost know nothing about iTunes really. But I have had a 80 gig ipod .. ummm I think it's a iPod classic maybe. A long time ago I just downloaded iTunes. I think one of my tech friends already had put the program onto my PC so I did not even have to download it. Anyways I put my life's collection of mp3's onto iTunes and then syncs it with my iPod and it worked great. Here is my problem. I just recently bought a MONSTER PC. I have lovingly named it " ED209 " I downloaded iTunes for it and I have the most up to date version.8.1.1 is the most current version correct? Ok well here is my problem. What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library. I DO NOT want to import anything from the library or playlist or whatever you call it ONTO the iPod because there is nothing in the library. Now this is were its gets weird and possibly silly. A person I was chatting with on Facebook sort of made fun of me because she was like " Dude! Just push " Sync " But the reason I am paranoid is because THIS is the message I get....
    " The iPod " Aaron's iPod " is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this iTunes library? "
    HOLY COW!! That girl on Facebook was making fun of me but READ THAT. That exactly says ERASE the "iPod" and Sync with THIS library " It does not say put what is ON the iPod into THIS Library. It says it the other way around. Clear as day it says it will ERASE the " Ipod " it does not say " Fill the library with whats on your iPod "
    Do I all of a sudden not understand English or something???? I know how to freaking read and from what it says is sounds a 100 percent like " we will ERASE youe iPod and put everything from this playist or library onto your iPiod" But there is NOTHING in my library? Am I mentally challenged or what?
    I hope someone can help me here and I have another request. Could someone just tell me all the cool things I can do with iTunes and my iPod? I am trying to read the help files and the FAQ and whatever else Apple provides you with but it has SO MUCH crap that looks usless. I find myself reading a whole paragraph about some simple little section of s section of a section of a feature! Know what I mean. Someone give me the long and short of the neat things I can do with this stuff. I have windows Vista with a wicked computer that has like 6 gigs of ram and m iPod is a 80 GB Classic
    help !!

    *What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library.*
    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Can you please help with importing CDs and audio books?

    I tried to search for this topic, but had no luck.
    Have been happy with IPOD until today. On trying to import a new audio book to iTunes and then updating IPOD to install on it, I can see the title in both the iTunes Library and menu of IPOD. However, instead of seeing a normal 57:32 (or similar stop time), I am seeing 789:57:13.152. When I try to play it through iTunes or IPOD, it skips it as if it wasn't there and plays something else. I checked out importing a music CD, and find the same problem.
    Appreciate any advice you can give.

    let's first see if you can get the CDs to import normally if you switch off "error correction" in the iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
    but if no joy there, try checking through the other suggestions from the following document:

    ... and these resources might be helpful with that:
