Highlight/color elements in video, add arrows ?

Hi all
This is my first time posting here so bare with me. I'm new to Premiere (noob) and my knowledge is close to sea bottom, but I am ambitious .
I was given a project by my university which is due at the end of the next month. What am I trying to achieve? I have a 3 minutes video, which I have to edit so to highlight/color several elements in it. It is a surgery recording (abdominal surgery), so vessels, nerves and other anatomic structures have to be colored/marked. Arteris in red, veins in blue and I have to insert a few arrows so to identify the respective elements. I've rummaged the internet/youtube and couldn't find what I was looking for.
Can you guys give me a helping hand? This project has come to a stall because of my incapacity to work in Premiere (CS4).
Thank you in advance

Here are two articles, that might prove helpful. They take different tracks (no pun intended), but can do essentially the same thing - call out certain aspects/objects in your Video.

IMovie - add arrow to highlight video

I am trying to add arrows to highlight my daughter in a sports recruiting video. I saw the information on this topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12391949#12391949\
I was able to add one arrow to my project by following Karsten's instructions. But, I am unable to add additional arrows into my project (separate clips). When I tried to add the 2nd arrow, the arrow doesn't show up on the screen, and then there is a pause created where I put the first arrow. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Is there anyway to change/add more highlighter colors in Preview? I need more colors aside from those already provided in the app.

I'm a law student and I use the preview app extensively for reading cases. I need more highlighter colors aside from those already provided and it seems that there's no possible way of adding/changing the colors.

Unlike Preview, the Adobe Reader application allows you to change PDF highlight (comment) text colors via a standard Apple color chooser. Click Tools on the Reader Toolbar, and then Comment. The second button in the Comment Annotation section is highlight text, and defaults to canary yellow.
Highlight the document text, and then two-finger tap/control-right-click that highlighted text. On the contextual menu, you will see Properties…. The properties panel has a color well set to yellow. Click this color well, and a standard Apple color chooser will appear that allows you more creative control over your highlight color. When you click a color in the color chooser, it is not automatically updated in the color well, which remains dark grey. When you quit the color chooser, the selected color is updated in this color well and in your document. The next text that you select to highlight will receive a default yellow highlight.

Launchpad highlight color

Is there any way to change the Launchpad highlight color? The default is black. On a black or dark background, the highlight simply doesn't show up well enough to use, and this makes arrow-key navigation of Launchpad impossible.

Your screen capture is showing the color in the Pages panel of InDesign using a dark or medium dark theme set in InDesign Interface Preferences.
The version of Mac OS X has nothing to do with this whatsoever.
It's the way InDesign displays the dark theme. It's one of the downsides of using a dark theme. You don't get enough contrast of an element against a dark panel. If you switch to the light theme it will be easier to view.
If you have suggestions about how to change the way a theme is handled, you could post them as a feature request here:

Premiere Elements 9 Videos Rookie Here So Speak English please?

New computer 8 GB ram, 64 bits, Windows 7, I figured out how to make videos and I had some help but I can't find the answer to this problem? Has to be a better way? I could spend my life researching this topic and not come across the written material for the answer? I spend $1500 just for this computer to use this program and I am still having problems with it only when I add text. I spent 50 hours on creating a video didn't freeze up once. Then at the end I added in all the written paragraphs of text immediately it started freezing up and kicking me out of the program. Help remember I am a rookie so keep the instructions simple please?

Thanks Bill,
The text is now working with your short instruction and no more freezing up whoppeeee !! Do you why my microphone won't work under narration? Window opens but it appears not to be active because its grayed out and you can't use the controls? The mircophone works other wise on my system for sure?
I will explore what you just sent me thanks again!

Re: Premiere Elements 9 Videos Rookie Here So Speak English please? created by Bill Hunt in Premiere Elements - View the full discussion
Now is probably a good time to discuss Titles, and Instances of Titles.
When one creates a Title, it appears in the Project Panel. When it appears on, or is dragged to the Timeline, one has an Instance of that Title. One can have any number of Instances of that Title. All are linked back to the Title in the Project Panel. That means that if one changes any Instance of that Title, or the Title in the Project Panel, those changes will affect EVERY Instance of that Title. That can be very useful, but can also be confusing, when first encountered.
As an example, say that you have created a Title, that says "Meanwhole Back at the Ranch," sort of like the old silent Western movies. You place that Title between dozens of Clips on the Timeline, but then notice the mis-spelling. Just correct one of the Instances, or the Title in the Project Panel, and ALL Instances will reflect the change from Meanwhole," to "Meanwhile." So far, so good.
BUT, if one wants a different Title, but one based on that "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch," they would NOT edit one of the Instances, or the Title in the Project Panel, as that would change ALL Instances. Instead, go to that Title in the Project Panel, and Rt-click on it, then choose Duplicate. That will create a Copy of that Title, with the word "Copy" postpended to it. Then edit THAT Title, as needed, and those changes will NOT affect any Instances of the original Title. Note: you can Rt-click on the Copied/Duplicated Title, and choose Rename, to make finding it, and identifying it easier. Initially, upon Duplication, it will appear highlighted in the Project Panel, but if you need to easily find it later on, Renaming it should make that task easier. When done making changes to that Duplicate Title, just drag it to the Timeline to create an Instance of it.
Good luck, and hope that helps, plus saves confusion, when you go to alter but one Instance of a Title, without affecting all other Instances.

Is there a way to change the highlight color for buttons?

I swear, iDVD has got to be the most counter-intuitive program Apple has made in recent memory. I'm a huge Apple fan but this program makes me want to throw my computer at the freaking wall.
All I want to do is change the ugly yellow highlight color of the buttons (which appears when you select them) in the DVD menu. I'm making a wedding video, and the DVD menu is all silver, gray, black and white, so the yellow color that it defaults to looks hideous.
Any help is appreciated!

Good day Glenn,
You may want to consider upgrading from Acrobat 9.5 Standard to Acrobat X Pro. Acrobat X Professional has the redaction tool which is really easy to use.
You could also accomplish the workflow you described in your question. If you right-click the tool-bar, and enable the Properties Bar, you can change the color of your highlighter tool to black. Then you can 'highlight' the text you would like to eliminate. After you're done, print the document to the Adobe PDF printer with 'Document and Markup' selected under the 'Comments and Forms' drop-down menu to 'refry' your PDF.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,

How to change highlight color in Preview quickly?

I do a lot of reading and annotating of PDFs using Preview. While I love just about everything about this program, my only complaint (if it could be called that) is that I can't figure out a quick way to cycle through the highlight colors without using the palette drop-down. Has anyone figured out a clever way to hotkey the colors for the highlighting annotation tool?

yorkait wrote:
You simply create new keyboard shortcuts for the Preview application (in system preferences). And set the shortcuts to "Red", "Yellow", and so on. This works because the contextual menu with the color is labelled this way. I binded all colors on Shift + Command + *letters from the first left hand side rows of keys*. Very handy.
(Now if someone figured out how to customize the default colors I would be eternally grateful.)
Great thanks, I didn't realize you could do that for those kind of menus as well until about a month ago when David Sparks showed doing that for Mail accounts. I have been using the assignable key commands since they added that in Tiger. I ended up doing something so much more complicated using Keymon and Size up to move the mouse and position the document on screen.
Thanks again I will add this and use this all the time!

Highlight colors change (invert) on some backgrounds, i can make it back by changing use system colors and or background color, i would like to knoe if there is a setting to stop the change ?

i set my highlight colors to yellow background and black foreground in windows , it uses the same colors in firefox except as i highlight over some colors the foreground and background colors invert yellow on black , if there is a setting (or one can be added) in about:config to make the highlight always stay as yellow back and black foreground ? , im not sure if it is done within firefox though or if it is win xp but itcan be changed inside firefox about:config with browser.display.use_system_colors and/or browser.display.background_color .

that sort of makes sense but when you look at youtube messages , each alternate line is a very pale blue and when highlighted each alternate line the color is switched , this also happens on all web pages with simuler shading (not just pale blue) .
about the purple highlighting , ive never seen that , i have firefox on 2 PCs , a laptop and a notepad and they all use the colors set in win xp for highlight , even when use system colors is set to false , all that happens then is they swap about (invert) agen , i some times have to switch browser background color as well . sorry for being repetetive , im just trying to be clear , i have tried fine tuning BG color but on some pages just 1 single number away from white makes the switch,on other pages you can go nearly all the way to black befor it switches .ive just seen add images , ill send some pics to show what im trying to say .

DW Code View uses the Selection colors defined for your Operating System.
If you don't know how to change that, which OS and version are you using?

Changing Highlight Color Behind Theme Button

Hello -
I've scoured this message board and saw similar postings, but none that answered my question on how to change the highlight color behind the theme button. I put together a DVD w/button themes that play the videos inside, and when my friend goes to click on the buttons, in order to play that chapter, he sees the 'white highlight' that represents which button he is selecting. He has asked me if I can change that highlight color - is this something I can do in iDVD5? Thanks!!

Happy editing!

Elements doesnt recognise my panasonic vdr -d250 camcorder. Does elements capture video from camcorders by usb. Camcorder has no firewire.

does premiere elements capture video from camcorders using usb. my camera does not have firewire

hotrodder19
Major backup time regarding your "capture", "USB connection", "no firewire for camcorder".......
Let us start again. Your question was interpreted as one concerning DV data capture into Premiere Elements capture window (requires a firewire connection).
I just dug into the user guide for your camera...instead of a miniDV camcorder, I find a camera that records DVD-VIDEO to a DVD disc. Is that your camera's description? That puts a different complexion to the matter. Please confirm that you are recording to a DVD-VIDEO standard to widescreen on a DVD disc. If not that, then please explain with more details.
If you camera is recording as I now believe, you do not need a firewire or USB connection.
1. Place the finalized DVD disc in the DVD burner tray of your computer.
2. If you are working with Premiere Elements 12 Windows, then set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard or Widescreen (or the PAL counterpart, depending on your computer setup), and then, in the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 12, Add Media/"DVD camera or computer drive", Video Importer.
This process copies (rips) video files (VOBs) of the DVD-VIDEO and allows you to put these video files on the program's Timeline for edits and export.
Please let us know if we are now in sync on what you are seeking.
Thanks.

Changing highlight color in spy menus

I'm trying to change the color of the spry menu when you highlight it. Where do I find that option?

When you say "highlight it" do you mean the change of color when you hover?
If you open up the .css file in Dreamweaver (SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css for instance) you will see that the code is well commented.
have a scan through the file and you should see the code explained. Look for the rules that relate to hover. Then you just find a HEX value for the color you want and add it. If you want to keep track of the changes you make, try commenting out the code that is there already and retyping it with your own rule.
If that's not much help try David Powers' tutorial: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/customize2.php

Silly question - but how do I add arrows to my presentation?

Hi all - just wanted to know if you can add arrows to presentation in FCE? I tried to add objects using LiveType but was unable to find anything there.
I just need to add some arrows to motion video to point out certain things.
Thank you!

Hi(Bonjour)!
There're a lot of free quality plugins available on the web.
See Stib's FXscript web site:
http://www.fxscript.org/plugins.html
There is a good arrows generator included in the package that's works well with FCE HD. Be sure to select the "pre-FCP 5" one.
See the demo reel:

Remove message highlight color

I had set up in Mail preferences to add message highlight color (Set Color of Message), but once I deleted that preference the old mail still shows in highlight. HOW do I get rid of highlight color on old messages now that I no longer want highlight color. Thank you.

Set up a mail rule with the same criteria as the first but set the color to black. Then run the rule.
Regards
Edit: sorry, if you're referring to highlight color of message threading then change the highlight color in Mail > Preferences > viewing tab > Highlight related messages using color. > tap the color box to edit > select white.
