How do you make a circle clipping path in PhotoShop CS4?

All online help that I have found so far, shows me how to hand draw a complex shape. I just need a circle. I can do this in a few minutes in CorelDRAW and Illustrator.
You must be able to do it in PhotoShop. The end result is - I want it to work like a ship porthole. All you can see is what is behind the port window.
Thanks!!!!

Does this help at all??? I skipped CS4
Can also just add the path in as a vector layer mask
Save the work path with a name once you have a saved path you can use the path palette's fly-out menu item "Clipping Path".

How do you make one long clip camera import FCPX

Does anyone out there know how to make one long clip from a DV camera import in FCPX??? Why the designers thought it was a good idea to chop the clips up during import is beyond me...

You're expecting one continuous take to import as one single clip, right?
From my experience with DV-format cameras like the Canon HV20, it's not unusual for there to be enough of a discontinuity (control track??) to create two or more successive clips when importing, dropping a small number of frames between clips. This could be caused by dirty heads or a tape that has been used more than it should.
A string of separate takes should import as separate clips, I believe.
Hope this helps.

How do I make a printing pre set in Photoshop CS4?

I use Photoshop CS4 and print on an Epson R360. I often print high resolution images, usually jpeg, onto quality Epson paper with certain settings to get the best result. However I am aware that I can set a "pre set" to achieve this without having to make the print spec choices each time but don't know how to do it. I have checked the Adobe website but cannot find any relevant info that I can understand. Can anyone give me a simple guide how to do this please?

In the PRINT dialog box, [see Pic-1], make all the changes that you want,
then [see Pic-2]
SAVES US, name your preset. When you print again, then you just select that PRESET, and all your print specs for the PRESET should all be there. I hope this helps.

How do you make one video clip constantly switch colors?

I am trying to make it that one video clip switches from one color then to another color then to another? I also don't want to break up the clip into multiple clips then just change the color on each sub clip because when I tried that, it wouldn't load well in playback because there were so many effects in a couple of seconds. Please help me, thanks!

When you say 'switch from one color then to another color' do you mean you want the clip to show in shades of a single colour ranging from black to your colour and for that colour to change, or that you want the colours of the image to cycle so that red becomes blue, yellow becomes green and blue becomes red?
If it is the 'shades of a single colour' you want, apply the 'Cast' effect from the 'Looks' section of the effects palette and use keyframes to animate the Midtones parameter.
If you want to colour cycle, apply my free 'Gradient Colorize a4d' effect, edit the colours in the gradient and keyframe the 'Offset' parameter which cycles the gradient colours through the image. If you're interested I could create a free effect that could cycle through the colours in a gradient automatically.
Download 'Gradient Colorize a4d' from my blog:

How do you make a movie clip play in CS4

Hello, I used Flash MX a long time ago (beginner level) then
left it for years. I'm now using CS4 and am stuck. I have a stage
with a movie clip placed onto it. I want to create a simple 'click
to play' button so that the movie clip only plays on click of this
button. Can someone please give me a step by step (idiot-proof)
guide on how to do this please

Cases that use to be _property in AS2 are now just property
in AS3. So _x is x, _y is y, and _visible is visible. This should
work:
function showPlay(event:MouseEvent):void
play_text.visible = true;
pause_text.visible = false;

How can you make a movie clip zoom in on play?

I simply have a rectangle vector image of a landscape and I want it to zoom in when I play it...and I guess stop at a certain point. Not a clicking function or roll over, just when I start up my swf file or go to that specific scene I want it start zooming (gradually, not fast either). Please help me. Thank you!

Convert the image into a movieclip, give it an instance name, and look into using the Tween class to provide the gradually changes of the scaleX and scaleY values of whatever object you wish to zoom.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var twX:Tween = new Tween(instanceName, "scaleX", Regular.easeIn, startValue, endValue, zoomSecs, true);
var twY:Tween = new Tween(instanceName, "scaleY", Regular.easeIn, startValue, endValue, zoomSecs, true);
The code above is written instructively more than literally. Anything I've bolded you can/need to define.
Many people will recommend using third party tweening classes due to better performance and other reasons. So you may want to look into them after you get this working.

How do you make a 2D line form the outline of a circle.

How do you make a 2D line form the outline of a circle. I want a line to come in from the side of the screen and bend round to form the outline of a circle. In flash pro cc?

you can use one tween to move your line from the side of the screen, then another (shape) tween to bend it into a circle. you will probably need to use shape hints for the 2nd tween.

It is not clear what you are asking about. Could explain another way?
Please start with what version of Premiere Elements you are working and on what computer operating system it is running?
From what you wrote, I am not sure if you are saying
a. The Timeline Indicator is stuck and will not more from left to right when you try to play back the Timeline content in the Edit area
or
b. You want to create an animation
or
c. You are doing a Picture in Picture (PiP) and want the picture (or video insert) to move to different locations within the frames over the course of
time.
or
d. Other
We will be looking forward to your clarification with details so that we can give you the information that you seek.
Thank you.

How do you make images transparent in inDesign?

How do you make images transparent in Adobe InDesign CS5.5?

Dittco wrote:
It IS possible: Select the image. Open effects (Window > Effects). Switch from "normal" to "multiply". Viola! White background is gone.
That only works with a white background. In addition, it introduces a transparency effect, with its associated problems.
With a rather light background: Select the image. Open clipping path (Object > Clipping Path > Options). Select Type > Detect Edges; use Threshold and Tolerance to get as close as possible to the edge of your image. This may be difficult because of a too low resolution image, or too much fringe on the edge -- if all fails, use the Inset Frame value to force the mask "into" the image. Click OK, and the background is gone.
But that's not the only way: you can always create a clipping path manually, and then you are in total control, not limited by transparency side effects, auto-edge detection, and busy backgrounds.

How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
Thank you!

Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
Hope that helps,

How do you add a video clip to a slide show?

How do you add a video clip to a slide show using elements 12?

You can import some very short video clips into Photoshop and make gifs. I can import short (10 second or so) .mvi video clips I've taken with my point and shoot camera.
Use File ->Import->Video Frames to Layers
CS3 doesn't recognize .mvi files until you enter *.* in the box, hit load, then find the file you want.
After the file has been loaded, go to Windows, and check Animation.
After the Animation bar loads, go to the right side arrow, check Make Frames from Layers.
Then Save for Web and Devices, and you've got your gif.
I find it much easier to use the separate software.

How do you make room on your start up disk. i am trying to do the update but don't have enough space

how do you make room on your start up disk. i am trying to do the update but don't have enough space

Try this:
1. Open "Finder", then navigate to "Movies" on the left side. Click on "iMovie Projects"
2. Move desired movies and clips to trash, or your flash drive.
*PS* Its dangerous to have a full hard drive, I would recommend either trashing, or transferring files to another computer. Trash applications you no longer use as well.

How do you move a sound clip in the timeline?

I have not had this problem before. I have put many songs into the timeline, and repositioned them. Today I pulled up a project and attempted to reposition a song to fit in better with the clip, and I'm unable to do so. I can't select the song, or anything else. Obviously I have set or locked up this track, and I can't figure out how to unlock if that is what I have done. I have 6 songs on that track, Audio track 2, and I can't reposition any of them. I can't even remove them from that track. What am I doing wrong?

Hunt, most of my music files, over 9000 songs, are mostly mp3 files and a few are wma, and because of copyright laws I wouldn't use them in a commercial project I'm working on anyway. When I am working on a project for a client I will generally use higher quality WAV files. This project was being done just to learn some new techniques, gain some more experience with PPCS4, and expand my knowledge with the program. I have this huge number of music files and styles to work with, so I can do a great deal of experimentation to see what different songs can do to the mood of the video.
As a test, I did put the exact same songs into the timeline on a different audio track. The problem track is audio 2, and I duplicated those songs on audio 3. I did the exact same editing. I faded them in and out the same as before. Split one song into 3 sections had parts of it come in and out over a video section of 9 minutes duration. They are working perfectly. I was just working on one section of that project a half hour ago, and I was still able to select and move each of the four songs on that track any way that I wanted to. However, the track just above it in that same timeline, Track 2, is still frozen.
Hunt, just a moment ago I solved my problem. Still not being that familiar with the program, two days ago I know that I was playing with all of the controls, and I obviously hit one of them without knowing one of its side effects. I hit the show "show track keyframes". I'm sure that you know it, but I didn't realize that when that function is selected, you can't do much else with the track but play with those keyframe. Even though I didn't have the track locked, in the traditional way, it was still, for all practicall reasons, locked. I unchecked that function and now everything is back to normal again on that track.
Something very simple, as many things turn out to be when you understand it. However, maybe someone else will make the same mistake, and my posting here will help them.
I will use your suggestions for using .WAV files. Thank you again.

Terry,
What is the purpose of using the .WMA files? I'm sure that you have a good reason, but they can be problematic, at best. I only use them as a trasfer medium, when I need to get a DD 5.1 SS soundtrack into Audition for editing. There, I break them out into 6 discrete .WAV files, edit in Multi-track Mode and then usually Export as the 6 discrete WAV's to be encoded to DTS, or similar.
If you do not have a compelling reason for using the .WMA, try PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit and see if the issues go away.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes please,
Hunt
