How do I get pics into Drop Zones for Templates?

I am having a problem that is probably simple, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. I opened a templated in Motion and noticed that some of the templates have drop zones, a la iDVD.
Okay, so I found some pics in the browser but when I went to drag them into the drop zone, the image did not go into into the drop zone, and instead a new layer was created. I've tried this countless times and can't seem to gt the pictures to go in the drop zones.
Am I doing anything wrong?

The problem is one of interpretation. What you are seeing are grey "replace media" items which need to be replaced with what you want. They aren't 'drop zones' ala IDVD or DVDSP (basically it's an image with a mask or overlay over it giving it that 'drop zone' look)
There are many ways of changing/replacing the "media" items (this is Apple after all ;):
1) If you press F5, you open up the "Layers/Media/Audio" window. Click "Media" and you'll see all the elements used to make up the template, including "replace 1.jpg" etc.
2)Click on one of the "replace" files. Then click the "Inspector" tab in the Browser window. Then you'll see a window that says "Linked Objects." and below that "replace media file." Click "Replace media File" and then choose the file you want to insert/replace (you'll have to de-select "Show Matching Names Only" to be able to replace it with your own file)
OR:
1) press F6 and open the Timeline window.
2) Scroll down and you will see a layer called "Replace"
3) Open up that layer (click the triangle) and you will see Replace 1, Replace 2, etc (depends on your template)
4) Drag the image you want to insert/replace into the template to the sublayer called "replace 1" etc.
There are other ways, but these two are the most 'stable' I have found.

    I downloaded a ringtone fromAP store. How do I get it into my sounds for selection?

    Despite all the snarky and misleading replies you most certainly CAN quickly and easily get a refund for an accidental purchase, and Apple has provided a way to request refunds for exactly this reason.
    - Go to your Account information page in iTunes
    - Go to your purchase history
    - Click "Report a Problem" at the bottom
    - Then click "Report a Problem" next to the app you accidentally purchased.
    - This will bring you to a browser page with a pull down menu where you can select "Didn't Mean To Purchase This Item".
    For the full process with screenshots you can visit this page:
    http://www.imore.com/how-request-refund-itunes-or-app-store-purchase
    Since Apple explicitly offers the "Didn't Mean To Purchase This Item" in that menu they are obviously well aware of the fact that many such instances occur.
    Since they don't have a confirmation screen or pop up a single inadvertent click could easily lead to a costly unintended purchase, and if they didn't offer just as easy a way to get a refund they'd be mobbed with suits.

  • How can I get pics into my iphone4 please

  • MOTION 4 - I can't locate correct drop zones for template

    I'm working in MOTION 4 and a template I purchased online.
    I'm not deeply experienced with MOTION (one of the reasons I prefer
    templates), but I have used built-in MOTION templates and those from 3rd parites
    and other sources on many prior occassions.  I'm familiar with dragging
    the elements you want to customice into the drop zones.
    The problem I'm having is with a Calendar template. I've been
    playing for hours now trying to get
    the video or image into the drop zone.  For instance this template is
    made of of a bottom part
    that shows a January calendar, and the top of the calendar is the drop
    zone where you drop in
    the picture you want to customize to represent January.  And there is a
    counterpart for all 12 months and it flips through all 12 months.
    No matter how hard I try, I can't drag my images into the right area of
    MOTION Canvas or layers area to get it into the right
    drop zone corresponding to the month I'm shooting for.
    This seems straight forward, but the template is confusing.  I've tried
    trial and error for hours now, but they're not
    ending up where I need.
    Is there someway to see ONLY the drop zones in MOTION?  I keep replacing things
    I don't intend. 
    Any quick assistance would be appreciated.  I've contacted the 3rd party I purchased the template
    from but haven't heard back yet and on deadline.  Help!

    Yes, I tried xrandr:

    $ xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024

    At first this didn't work at all, so I tried to mess with screen resolution applet and got output on the second monitor, but not at the desired resolution.
    I tried running these commands again and got output on the second monitor, but at the wrong resolution. The strange part is that the resolution I want is listed by xrandr:
    $ xrandr -q

  • I have an ipad and forgot the password. I tried to many times and it disabled on me. How do I get back into my ipad without using iTunes and without losing all my saved items.

    I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!

    If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

  • I bought the Hangover on my iPad. How do I get it into my itunes library?

    While travelling I bought "The Hangover" film on my iPad. On getting home the "iTunes Extras" have downloaded into my iTunes library on my PC but there is no sign of the film itself. I have tried syncing the iPad with iTunes to no avail. I have tried "dragging and dropping the film from the ipda into the itunes library ... doesn't work. I cannot leave the film on my ipad forever and it does not appear to be held anywhere else. How do I get it into my itunes library? If not why not? If I delete it from my ipad do I then really have to buy it again?
    This is all on the UK itunes store btw.

    Connect the device, File > Transfer Purchases should do it. You have no automatic right to redownload the film (in the UK, yet) but if something goes wrong then it is always worth approaching the iTunes Store support team.. They have been known to reissue content in certain circumstances.

  • HT2518 I've transfered my PC documents to my Mac, but how do I get them into Pages? into Pages?

    I've sucessfully transfered documents from my PC to my new MacPro via Migration assistant, which was easy.  The documents are on my Mac, but how do I get them into Pages?  I used Microsoft 2007 on the PC.

    Thanks for the help, but I've dragged, dropped and done everything I can think of to get my documents into Pages, but they seem to ignore it.  The only way I can even find the documents from my PC is as a sidebar on Finder.  I can open each file in Finder, but there it ends. . . can't get them into Pages where I need them.

  • Related Issue column in tracking list gets changed into drop down list in Infopath

    Hi All,
     i have created Tracking list in sharepoint 2010. which has column[Related issue - lookup for field in list[title] by default.
    this field will have a multiple selection check box,2 buttons [Add and remove] and text box[which show the items selected in check box].
    my issue is ,when i try to modify my list in Infopath. this column[Related issue] gets changed into drop down list item.Is is possible  to get the same [old format] back. if so pls guide me..
    I faced the same in Radio button,but i restored it by changing it into option button in Infopath
    V Jean

    Hi ,
    The
    multiple-selection list box control should be by design in InfoPath form, which is corresponding to the SharePoint "Related Issues" field, in my opinion, it cannot be converted to [old format] in InfoPath form, you may need to use SharePoint Designer 2010
    to customize your Issue Tracking list NewForm.aspx/EditForm.aspx per the way in the following article, then "Related Issues" field will still be the old format,

  • How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?

    Gorgeous Hello All,
    If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
    Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
    A hurdle :-
    I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
    I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
    -> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
    How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
    (I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
    Help Please

    Hey Jeff, I used Internet Explorer 10.0.9200 and Google Chrome 26.0.1410. Alas - it is the same behavior.

Looks like need to write few liner code to get this issue settled )
    Thanks Indeed of lots for your concerns Jeff !!!

    How do I get signed into Icloud when it says my apple id is valid but not an icloud acct?

    You will have to sign in to I cloud on any of the iOS device with version 5 or above  once with your Apple Id to use your Apple Id as I cloud account. So if you have an iPhone iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
    On your iOS device go to settings > I cloud and sign in and you should be able to use your Apple Id as an icloud Id.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.
