Help with SVG Export

Hey all,
I am building a glyph font in Illustrator CS6. The problem here deals with a large number of assets, all of which need SVG exports at 32x32px (due to a strict grid definitions) for import and compiling purposes (assets need to be sequential in naming for accurate import and compile and maintenance as well). All of the AI export solutions I have seen require the SVGs to be on individual artboards or in separate layers in order to export.
Artboards are extremely limiting as AI has that infamous 100 artboard limit.
When it comes to the layers solution, as far as I can tell, there is no way via extensions or otherwise to take sublayers (grouped/compound paths intact; release to layers does not retain the compound paths) and turn them into top-level layers which can then, in turn, be exported as individual SVG's via this script modified by Tom Byrne.
At this point it seems like an entirely manual process. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Am I missing something that could ease the production pain?
Regards,
Sean

You might want to look at Inkscape which is a freeware product and I believe that the output is SVG.

Help with PDF export

Hi,
I'm a beginner with InDesign, and I need help badly. I've gone through lots of threads with no solution yet.
Earlier today I exported an InDesign file to PDF and parts of the document with black text went to gray. It's been that way since, even in the original InDesign document. I don't know if it's just a color thing. If I change the color to red it simply looks like a "light" red. When I'm scrolling down the page it looks black, so long as I'm holding down and scrolling. Does anyone have a solution to getting my "light" font to be rich with color again. All of my black text is gray!
Thanks in advance.

No, I didn't make any changes. How do I find the opacity?
Does the opacity not show when you scroll? It may very well be the opacity, because it looks the same even in PDF. But then it doesn't explain how some parts look like opacity has changed and then some parts look completely normal.
EDITED TO ADD: THANK YOU SO MUCH. I FIXED IT.
It took me hours. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Help with Flash Export Process:

Hi all.
I'm using Flash CC on a Windows 8 system. The specs are i7-3770, 12GB RAM, 128GB SSD, etc.
When we create flash animations, we look at the SWF and it looks fantastic.
YouTube unfortunately doesn't accept SWF as a valid file type.
This is where things start to get hairy.
Someone suggested I export PNGs as a sequence along with the audio and then add these to a program such as Adobe Premiere or After Effects.
Is it normal for a 5 minute animation @ 30fps to take nearly 5 hours to export the PNGs?
I'd like to think my system is strong enough to do it a bit quicker than this.
FYI - Flash CC no longer has the ability to export as a PNG sequence (Flash Pro CS6 still has it).
I tried using export > video in Flash CC to generate an MOV. This creates an MOV that is 12GB+.
I can't believe a 5 minute MOV could even become that large. I then use the Adobe Media Encoder to compress the MOV into an MP4. This works no problem but no matter what settings I try, the colors don't seem as vivid as the SWF.
Everything has this slight dullness to it and I can't figure out why. Both the MOV with the huge file size and the compressed MP4 lack the vividness in color the SWF has.
Can anyone here share with me the export process they use for an HD animation that can be uploaded to YouTube?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

I used whatever the default settings would be as this was a fresh install of Flash CC. I didn't make any adjustments. I just click FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT VIDEO
It made an MOV on my Desktop.
I'm home now and have checked some things and this is what I'm finding.
When you are in Flash CC and click FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT VIDEO and choose a path, an MOV is made that is gigantic. This gigantic file actually looks like it's supposed to.
It's when I convert the MOV to MP4 where the colors become washed out.
You can see it in the examples attached.
One is washed out (b) and the other isn't (a).
The washed out one was converted from MOV to MP4 using Adobe Media Encoder CC with the "Match Source - High Bitrate" preset.
How can I get the MP4 to come out with the same colors as the MOV?

Help with Saving & Exporting Files.

Ok, so I've gone on these forums and on google trying to find a solution to this.
But none of the solutions they had given worked...And frankly making my own is easier to find. XD
But anyways.
I just got Adobe Illustrator CS3 today.
It is the portable version; I don't know if tthat would make a difference since the options are still available.
But when I try to save the image, it doesn't matter what I try to save the file as, it says an error occured and it couldn't save the file.
And now I'm trying to export it into Photoshop CS4 (Also Portable but again, all of the options are available.) so I can color it. (Its a inked drawing of a previously lead drawing.)
When I try to export it; I get a message saying I do not have enough memory to save the file. Which I have a tetrabyte hardrive that isn't even nearly full.
What's going on with saving and exporting???
And I've read about people copying and pasting the different layers into Photoshop, if thats what I have to do, thats OK...But could someone please explain to me how I can do that?
Thank you. :]

No kidding and thi character is on the forum asking for help?
BTW when you install this cracked version be aware that these very beneficent care takers of the public rights have also probably installed spyware on your computer.
Also errors etc. are expected and there is no cure except to contact those you got the sold you this stuff and even if it is free once you do they will find a way to use the spyware.
Enjoy it.
To the forum host remove this thread fro the forum.

Need help with the export settings on FCPX

I recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro X from Express and am loving all the new features and capabilities that come with it. I just helped a friend with filming and editing a play at his school. After I finished editing it, the final MOV file is about 11 GB. Pretty big. When I try to put that file into iDVD to try to burn a DVD, my Mac begins to heat up really fast and I'm worried that this might overheat the processor.
I've tried other means of compressing the file without losing quality, like Handbrake, but to no avail.

I assume, your Project is ~20min, correct?
You exported a Master File = proRes, FCPX' internal intermediate codec, not meant for 'distribution'.
Choose one of the 'Apple device' presets in the share dialogue, in the drop-down options, change device to 'computer' to create a 'universal' mp4.
concerning 'heat':
Don't use your laptop in bed while doing tasks with high computation.
The bottom of device is needed for cooling.
Any 'soft' surface prohibits that…
If Mac really gets too hot, it will automatically switch-off - no worries..........

Help with choosing Export quality CS4 souce sony handcam hybrid

I am having trouble getting a good quality once I export my sequence . I have tried different formats and none of them seem to be as good as the original source video. I am using a sonyhandycam hybrid with the quality set at 9m HQ. What would be a good project setting and a good formant and options to export for the best quality? I would like the best quality I can get for a DVD, I sometimes do some uploading to youtube so any tips on that would be good as well. But my main focus is best quality for a DVD.
Thank You!

Go20 wrote:
Thank you for your advise but how can I get very good quality on DVD then.
as long as your project is <60min, iDVD will create best quality technically possible (=using the highest bit-rate, 9MBit/s) standards allow .
it is not a prob of the tool, but the standards. your source is 1920x1080, a DVD can contain only 720x480 ..
if you want 'higher' delivery-quality, consider BluRay (hmmm?) or a MediaPlayer (AppleTV, WD TV, PS3, .. )

Need some help with Keynote export

I want to create an swf file from Keynote that will be used in a looped Powerpoint slideshow. It will be no longer than 1 minute long.
I create the file and export as a .mov.
Then I used Visualhub to convert to an .swf. People have had lots of issues playing it
Then I converted the .mov file to .flv with Adobe Media Encoder, opened it in Flash and exported as .swf.
More problems.
I really like the ease of use and effects in keynote but the exporting is really bad.
Are there any alternatives programs for the mac.
I have already had a look at Sliderocket but it is web based which makes it slower and put images in slides a lot longer.
I really need to find a way of making decent swf files with good effects etc

Dave,
The issue seems to be with Flash and how it is converting the QuickTime movie, rather than an issue with Keynote. If the QuickTime movie plays fine in QuickTime Player, then the export from Keynote to QuickTime is fine and indeed the issue is in the conversion from QuickTime to Flash.
While this is not a forum for PowerPoint, check out the supported multimedia formats for PowerPoint - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA012303251033.aspx. Flash is not listed. So while it might play, you might consult Microsoft.
I would recommend using one of the following products to convert your QuickTime file to a PowerPoint supported format, other than Flash:
Flip4Mac
http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
Studio, Studio Pro, or Studio Pro HD. You can convert your QuickTime movies to WMV a fully supported format by PowerPoint. You can export to QuickTime and then use the Flip4Mac application to convert.
MPEG Streamclip
http://www.squared5.com
You can convert to various formats including AVI and MPG, both which PowerPoint supports. This is application can be found for both Mac and PC at.
Finally, a company does make Flash plugin tools "Flash Ready" for PowerPoint, due to the possible issues of adding Flash to PowerPoint. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/EM102525451033.aspx?pid=CE01030605 1033

Help With Pages - Exporting To PDF - PHOTOS BOTCHED

Hey guys, would really appreciate some insight to this.
I created a report for my board in pages and included photos. It looks great but when I export to a .PDF, instead of seeing a page of 4 different photos, it is all the same photo! WHY???? I have no idea why..... It is the weirdist thing.
Now, the document is like 140 meg since the photos are a bit big, so I am telling pages to export to a 'good' .pdf instead of a 'best' since it will make the file size smaller. If I were to make the pics smaller and then put them into the document, would that work? Your help is appreciated since I don't want to do this unless it works. It will take tons of time.
Intersting note though, when I export to word or 'best', the pics are fine. Something weird is happening when it is making the .pdf smaller. Any thoughts?
Thanks all.

You're probably using sections. Is there a little triangle over page 8 in the Pages palette? That means a section starts there. Select the page and go to Numbering and Section Options in the Pages palette menu. Remove the prefix.
You can also export using absolute page numbers if you use a + (plus) in front of the page. If your book's pages are numbered: i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3 you could export as pages +1 - +6.

Help with Enhancing Export Data Source

Folks,
I have a scenario where the infocube is used an export data source
In the data source I realize that the 0customer is not available
I changed the extract structure of the datasource to include 0customer but I have still not got the 0customer as part of the datasource
Would appreciate help on how the datasource can be enhanced to include 0customer; pls note that the infocube does have 0customer
thanks for your time
regards

Hi,
Can you tell me which datasource you are using to extract the value for 0customer from R/3?
You check the data source for data ( For 0customer) by using the extract checker tcode rsa3.
You can also check for the datasources in r/3 by uising the tcode rsa6.
Hope this helps.

Help with gif export

Hi,
I'm new to Fireworks (CS4) and I noticed there is no "selective" setting for exporting GIFs, as there is in Photoshop. Is there any way to get this functionality in Fireworks, maybe via plugin or something?
Thanks

Sorry, I don't see a "selective" setting for GIFs in there, either...

Help with AIC Export

I've read a few threads where it is suggested to export HD content to AIC format and then use Toast to burn the short movie to dvd (to play in blu ray player).
Where do I find the option to export AIC format in imovie hd?
file --> export --> QT---> expert setting - not sure what setting gets AIC.
Thanks

I haven't actually done this but when you click the "Expert Settings" you will get a button named "Options".
Click it and in the window that opens click "Settings".
In the new window click "Compression Types" where you can choose from the dropdown menu "HDV - 1080i60" or whatever the exact format of your video is.

Help with Excel Export

I have a sales report that goes to my company every month. I tried sending the report from numbers exporting it as an excel document. When my boss has tried to open it she says it's unrecognizable. She emailed it back to me and it shows that it's an unsupported version of excel so it won't let me open the document. It's due today by 5. HELP

These two things may be the cause of the unrecognizable from MS Office.
Make sure the document has the correct file extension.
Cell content that is too large for old technology.
If it is simple data then just save it as a csv file.
Even the oldest version of EXCEl can import the content.
If the report is free standing and not edited just send a PDF.
I noticed that very few of the MS users have the newer versions of office.

Need Help with QuickTime to Apple TV Export Weirdness

I am having a problem using QuickTime Player 7 Pro to convert a movie file in its original 1280x720 size for use with Apple TV. (iMovie creates a 960x540 file for Apple TV by default and the only way to get a 1280x720 file is to have iMovie use QuickTime to export it as a .mov file in that size and convert it to a .m4v file for Apple TV separately, with QuickTime Player 7 Pro. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to produce the 1280x720 file that is compatible with Apple TV.
To demonstrate my issue, I exported two projects from iMovie, both using the Export via QuickTime menu option, set at Movie to QuickTIme Movie, 1280x720, H.264, 24fps:
- Movie 1 is an 8:20 video. (All library video taken by the same camera and imported into iMovie at the same time).
- Movie 2 is a :15 test video using a clip from the same source as Movie 1.
Next, I used QuickTime Player 7 Pro to export Movie 2, the short test clip, using the Movie to Apple TV setting. It yielded a 1280x720 .m4v file, just as I wanted. With that test completed, I moved on to the full video.
When I exported Movie 1, the full 8:20 movie, using exactly the same setting in QuickTime Player 7 Pro, it produced a 960x540 .m4v file! Repeated exports yielded the same results.
How can this happen? How do I get the1280x720p Apple TV-compatible file that I want?

Thanks for the detailed reply. I have exported movies from iMovie many times with the "Export using QuickTime/Movie to QuickTime Movie" Share menu option. Despite the fact that Apple literature states that TV1 will play an H.264/AAC 1280x720, 24fps MOV file, I have never been able to get one to play. It won't even sync. (I get an error message stating the sync didn't work because the file is incompatible with TV.)
Sorry for the delay in responding. Wanted to check a couple of files on the TV1. Don't have many files encoded at 720p24 and have re-converted most for better AC3 DD5.1 quality at 640 Kbps for the TV2 units.. In any case, wanted to make a quick check to see if they still played with increased specs after the last update. Files play but only for a few seconds before freezing. Thought it might be to to wireless streaming to the TV1 so I tried synching a test file but it played the same way. Only files that still play are 540p30 files. Not sure if they have really "killed" 720p or not as a couple of trailers (Thor and Captain America) play at 1280x544 (i.e. 2720 macro-blocks) which is significantly more than my 960x540 (2040 macro-block) files. Might be interesting to see if a 960x720 PAR encoded file will still play on the TV1. (Not that it would help you but it is a matter of some curiosity for me.)
I spent much time at my Apple retail store trying to see what I may have done wrong. The Apple Geniuses there confirmed with me that TV1 will not play this type of file. (I have no experience with TV 2, but I would be surprised if the results were different.
Then be prepared to be surprised. The TV2 plays the 720p files just fine even with the increased audio data rate for the secondary AC3 DD5.1 surround sound. In fact, I am seriously considering the retirement of the TV2 so I can watch all files without having to worry about frame rates. (Besides, my wife keeps complaining that the bedroom TV (the TV1 unit) doesn't play her Netflix "chick flicks."
I just tried renaming the MOV file to M4V. It now syncs with my TV. Unfortunately, it still won't play. The error message on the screen states "The format was not recognized."
Strange, my files are recognized, stream, sync, and play (albeit with frozen video as sound continues) whether I use a real M4V or MOV file container. (Don't have an MP4 720p file to test at the moment.)
So, I am forced to export and then convert. That said, I am embarrassed (but happy) to admit that I found the solution to my QT 7 Pro problem. As I experimented further today,I found that my test file (Movie 2) was exported by iMovie at 24 fps and the full movie was exported at 30 (29.97) fps. QT 7 Pro must have forced the conversion to 960x540, which would be the only way a 30fps file would play on TV. Once I corrected the setting and exported again at 24fps, the QT 7 Pro conversion to 1280x720 worked as it should.
Glad you were able to settle that issue.
If you or anyone knows of a way to export from iMovie into a 1280x720, 24 fps format guaranteed to be compatible with TV1, please post instructions. Until then, I will have to keep using an intermediate export first and then Handbrake or QT 7 Pro to convert.
It's not really possible to guarantee that every file will be playable since the content actually drives the encoder and may require changes to user settings on occasions. However, having said that, I take it you did not try the "Export using QuickTime.../Movie to MPEG-4 Movie" Share menu option previously suggested. It will allow you to create an H.264/AAC 720p24 TV1 compatible MP4 file directly from iMovie. Here is a "quickie" file I exported from iMovie moments ago which plays on my TV1.
