How do I export a small section of a large complex illustrator graphic?

I have a large complex map in an illustrator file and I need to export smaller sections of the map for other uses. When I use artboards, the files still retain ALL of the information. I just want the portion that is on the artboard and I want it as a vector format, so the smaller areas can still be edited.

Not sure I have enough info to help you, but are a couple suggestions:
Option 1:
Select what you want to keep
Select>Inverse
Delete
Save a Copy
Undo and repeat as needed
Option 2 (requires Script "MultiExporter"):
Assemble elements for export on separate Layers/Artboards
Run MultiExporter Script to export Layers and/or Artboards to separate files (SVG, PNG, etc.)

  • How to print out just a section of a map or illustration

    Mapmakers, how can I target just a section of a larger map to print out or save separately? I'd like to put just a smaller section of a 28" x 28" map as a sample on the web. I know there is a tool for this but I can't find it.

    when you do the export, in the window where you select a destination, at the bottom you'll see an option for "Use Artboards" select the radio button for that, and then you'll have the option to enter the artboard number you want exported.

  • How can I adjust a small section of sound within a clip?

    I'm working with Mavericks, iMovie 10.0.5 on OSX 10.9.4. I want to lower a small section of sound within a video clip without having to lower sound for the entire clip. I could do this in the previous iMovie version. How can I do this now?

    Hold down the Option key and double-click on the audio volume level line. That will add a control point where you can adjust the volume on either side. Add more control points such that you can set the level to what you want where you want.

  • How can I export a small iMovie 9 project for someone else using iMovie 9 in a way that they will be able to edit all the separate clips and audio?

    I've tried simply copying the project - but of course, that no longer contains the separate clips and audio used to create the project.  Is there some export function I'm missing - or do I need to just gather up the clips and audio used in the project myself and send those?
    Thanks.

    You need to export your project via the Share command.
    Share > Export Movie.... (or Share > Export using QuickTime).
    That will render your project (combine and set all the events, stills, audio etc).
    When completed you can then take that exported file and import it into iMovie on another computer (or back into your own) as a new Event.
    You can then start a new project, load that event file and continue editing.

  • How do I export when FCP keeps crashing for large QuickTime exports?

    Forum,
    I have a 108-minute finished Final Cut Pro project. Ultimately, I'd like to burn it on a DVD so that it can be watched by any Joe-Schmoe using an ordinary DVD player. I'll be using DVD Studio Pro to do the burning. And before this, I plan to compress using Apple Compressor.
    But...
    I can't export this file to QuickTime! FCP keeps CRASHING about halfway through the process. I'm preserving the Current Settings, which, by the way, are XDCAM EX 1080p24 VBR.
    I have four internal hard drives used as follows:
    D1 OSX and FCP
    D2 audio media
    D3 visual media
    D4 location of FCP files and scratch disk
    I also have a MyBook USB2.0 external drive available should this be of use.
    Any suggestions for a viable workflow here? Should I be exporting to QuickTime first? Is my configuration doomed? Should I export straight to Compressor?
    thanks,
    Shanked

    Is there a way to do this WITHOUT your suggested software?
    Sure, but its very manual and the Corrupt Clip Finder really just automates that for you ... but I get your point about keeping things clean and can't fault that philosophy.
    First, you can use the Tools > Render Manager to delete all the sequence's render files and references. Then just play through the entire sequence (in the sequence RT menu you can enable the option to Play Base Layer Only). If the corruption was in one of the render files then you should now be able to play through without issue. If the corruption is in one of the clips then you should discover that FCP will crash or throw up an error when it tries to play though that clip ... keep a note of where this error occurs as thats your corrupt clip. Similarly, after trashing renders you can re-render, keep an eye on the render progress ... the error will be thrown proportionate to the area of the timeline where the corrupt source clip is contained. Additionally, yes, you can use the Reconnect Media function to selectively reconnect your source media to your masterclips, clip by clip ... the one that won't reconnect is going to be the problem child. That's the one you need to recapture/reimport from source.
    Hope it helps

  • How do I embed a small video into a larger video screen?

    Adobe Premier Elements 10 for a MacBook Pro Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5
    For my ski club, I'm making a short single 3 min video with footage from 3 different camera's.  The video frames from one camera are 320 px by 280 px and the frames from the other two cameras are 640 px by 480 px and when shown full screen on a monitor, the footage from the two 640 px by 480 px cameras look OK (if not great) but the footage from the 320 px by 280 px is obviously grainy.  I would like to embed the smaller into the larger at 50% so that the picture will be sharper, even though just filling up half the screen.  Help please.  This is for the upcoming ski show and I need it by Sunday, Oct 20.   Thanks.  DRThiess

    With your Premiere Elements 10 Mac,
    a. have you set your project preset for NTSC DV Standard
    b. have you imported your 640 x 480 video into this NTSC DV Standard project via Get Media/Files and Folders and now have it on Video track 1.
    c. have you then imported your 320 x 280 into this same project and placed it on Video track 2 above the Video track 1 content
    d. have you then scaled the selected 320 x 280 on Video Track 2 using either
    ....Properties Palette/Motion Panel expanded and its Scale slider (check mark next to Constrain Proportions)
    or
    ....Click on Monitor to bring up the bound box of the image and then clicking and dragging on one of the handles of the bounding box to scale the image
    There are also some PiPs (Picture in Picture Effects) under Edit Header/Presets that you might want to explore. They are for 25% and 40%, but are adjustable.
    Please let us know if any of the above worked for you or if you need supplemental information.
    Thank you.

  • How do I export photos used in a project (calendar) to a flash drive?

    iPhoto 9.4.2
    calendar has been purchased but I would also like to give the photos (including the unused ones) on flash drive for use on digital frame
    approx 350 photos total, but I can't figure out how to select/export even small batches
    I have tried "Select All"

    I've tried this and it oly puts 150 of my 377 photos in the new album.  It appears to be including my "Placed Photos" only.
    The calendar seems to have a memory. Sometimes I am getting all photos in the album, sometimes only the placed photos.
    You could try the following:
    Select the calendar in the source list and duplicate it with ⌘D
    Then select the duplicate calendar, click the Photos tab of the calendar, set it to "Show all photos in Project", and click "Clear all placed photos".
    Quit iPhoto
    Launch iPhoto again
    Select the copy of the Calendar and use the command "File > New Album" again.
    If a no photos are placed, the album always has all photos in the project, at least, when I try.

  • When exporting a small area using in-out points, why does Premiere render audio for ENTIRE sequence?

    I'm trying to export a small section of my timeline using in and out points... but it looks like Premiere wants to render the audio for the entire sequence and not just my in-out points.
    I added a bunch of audio effects to the entire sequence so it's taking 10 minutes to render this audio. When I click on the cancel button, Premiere just freezes and I have to force shut it down.
    Is it possible for premiere to only render the audio in the in-out points I originally asked for to cut down on export times?
    -Pete

    Similar problem here but on a Mac.   AME is always much slower than directly exporting from Premiere, but if I start to get slow renders a reboot always sorts the issue out.

  • How do i export small clips from an audio file?

    How do I export only a small portion of an audio track to file WITHOUT temporarily deleting any part of the audio file?
    I have a big audio file. This audio file is a language lesson with many, many clips of english sentences and their target language translations. I basically want to cut up each little section that I don't already know how to translate, and use these audio clips as audio flash cards. There's 1 problem though, and that's my lack of Garage Band knowledge. I easily do this up to 80 times per audio lesson, so a simplified method would be preferred.... boy, I'm sure missing Logic right about now ;(

    To export only a part of a track you have two ways:
    The easiest way is the "Cycle Region": set the cycle region to the section of the clip that you want to export. The cycle region will show as a yellow bar at the top of the Timeline. You can drag the ends to adjust it. Silence all other tacks and use "Share > Export song to disk (or share to iTunes)". This will only export that section of he clip.
    The other way would be to duplicate the tarck and work on the copy of the original: Either trim the ends of the region by draging or cut out the section you want (⌘T). Silence the original and export the copy.

  • How do I Export a -section- of a sequence?

    I have an hour-long sequence that was recorded one take without breaks.
    I've chopped it using the blade tool into smaller "chapters"
    Is there any way to export just one section of the sequence?
    Or, is there any way to export these chopped "chapters" into individual movies?
    I know about chapter markers and I do not want to setup individual sequences. So, I do not believe that there is a solution, but figured I'd ask.

    in future, instead of using the Blade tool in the timeline you could instead work with the source clip in the viewer, add a marker (press m) at each point where you want to divide the clip ... when it's all marked up you can then click on the disclosure triangle which will appear to the left of the source clip (in the browser window), select all the marker points displayed there, and then drag them into a new bin ... voila, you'll find you have magically created subclips to represent each of your chapters ... select them all and then chose File > Batch Export and away you go
    for now tho, go down into your bladed up timeline, place the play head at the start of the edit
    1) press I to mark an In point,
    2) press the down arrow to jump the playhead to the next cut point
    3) press O to mark an Out point
    4) press Cmd U to create a subclip
    now repeat step 1) through 4) until you have made a subclip for every chapter
    back in the browser, select all the subclips you just made and choose File > Batch Export

    Bob's post says it all. Preview ignores the PDF's Initial View setting, and beyond that, it's a horribly unreliable vehicle for accurate viewing of...just about anything. If you're engaged in professional design work, Preview has no legitimate place in your workflow.

  • How can I have a smaller file in export ?

    Hi! I have the last version of Imovie, if I import a video of 120 minutes (500 mb / 720p) and then I want to share it as file, with the same quality, the dimension of the video go up to 7gb... How can I have a smaller file? 

    You might try "Export as QuickTime..., click on the Options, then Settings, and select a lower level of compression, fewer key frames, a restricted lower data rate.  Also, click on the Size... button and make sure your setting it to 720p, not to 1080. 
    Lower "Quality" in compression may affect fast motion, but not the resolution of most images. 

  • How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s? And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.

    How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s?
    And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.
    I have been using the standard camera on the iPhone and require 300 dpi to create photo books as the photos are resized according the layout.
    Your time and assistance in appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks Tonefox!
    After looking at a few of the links I found a mathematical equation that assisted me.
    Inches = Pixels/DPI
    eg: 3 inches = 300 pixels/100 DPI
    Using this equation and the fact that iPhone 4s takes photos that are 3264 x 2448 I was able to work out the largest print I could make with 300 DPI.
    Width 3264 pix/ 300 DPI = 10.88 inches
    Height 2448 pix/ 300 DPI = 8.16 inches
    Therefore, the largest print (with 300DPI) I can make of these photos is 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches.
    Which is great!
    So is it critical for me to change the dpi in say photoshop or does it not matter as long as I don't go above the 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches?
    From what I can gather the smaller I resize the photo the higher the DPI and the bigger I stretch the photo the lower the DPI?
    Further clarification will be much appreciated. Thanks

  • Help with exporting A Small AVI

    I am working on a project for school using my schools computers to edit with Premiere Pro and After Effects cs3. I edited my project and exported it through the media encoder using H2.64 codec ane exported it as a .mp4 and it was slow for the my teacher to show to the class. He says it needs to be an avi but how do i export it as an avi and not have it a large file? The mp4 was only 1.4 gb but how large should the avi be and what would be the best export settings? The clips are 1920x1080 and where converted using cineform's neoscene. Thanks you!

    The VT5 is basically a switcher with greatly enhanced capabilities, so is only one step in the chain.
    I am wondering if the computer, to which the VT 5 is installed/attached, can handle DivX material (CODEC) in an AVI wrapper. This will rely on that DivX CODEC being installed on the host computer.
    If so, you can install the DivX CODEC on your computer and then output MS AVI, choosing the DivX CODEC in the Advanced/Encoding settings. This will result in a highly-compressed file in the AVI format. Though highly-compressed, the output quality for streaming media is very good. Note: you will not need the "Pro" version of DivX, as you will be using only the CODEC (free) and letting PrPro do the encoding for you.
    Ask your instructor if the DivX CODEC will be acceptable to him/her. If so, that would be my choice for acceptable streaming quality and small file size, and it will be in the AVI "wrapper."
    You did not state if you have an SD (Standard Def), or HD (High Def) Project, or I just missed that. If SD, then the next best choice would be DV-AVI Type II file, but the file size WILL be larger, at ~ 13GB / hour Duration. I would choose this, and deliver the file on an external device, like a stick, or external HDD (7200 RPM).
    Good luck,
