How do you split a vector image into several different colors

Hi, I'm trying to make an infographic for my company and wanted to use an image of christmas tree I found. I put it into Illustrator CS6 and traced it with the 16 colors option ( which i believe makes it a vector). What I want to do is change the colors of the christmas tree on each level of needles, but I can't figure out how to split up the image to change it into different colors. Sorry if this is confusing, any help appreciated.
Thanks
Audrey

Audrey, first off, you should know this:
Working with "a vector graphic" and working with a vector graphic that is the result of Illustrator's Image Trace are very likely to be very different things.
You would be much better off if you were starting with a tree graphic that was designed and drawn as a vector graphic in the first place. The people reading your post here can only imagine what's on your screen and how the Image Trace utility might have "seen" and traced it. I'll go so far as to say you won't be able to accomplish what you describe with an Image Trace as the basis. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I do know I wouldn't dare put myself through the anguish of attempting it. Honestly, I think you'll have a better chance of pulling it off if you keep the tree as a raster image, open it in Photoshop, and recolor sections of the tree there. But again, that could be determined with considerably more certainty if I could actually see it.
As a side note, I'd like to add this: You refer to the christmas tree image as one that you "found." I read that to mean you found it on the Internet. If that's the case, and the infographic you're planning is only for an internal presentation, it's not really a big problem, but even then you should consider acquiring permission or license to reuse the image. However, no matter how you might adapt or alter the image, just about any other scenario involving your re-use of that image could lead to issues of legality. Please don't pirate images.

How to get crisp clear vector images into motion2

I am new to this forum and love it.
My question to all you smart people is when I use illustrator for all my logos for companies. How do I get them imported into my motion project. I have heard of different ways, but none have done the trick. I see logos on samples that look clear and like vectors but when I place them they get really blurry. Also when I place the logo as a large image and scale it down, it looks horific.
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. I have pulled enough hair out on this project. Thanks a lot.

After checking my resolution, it is set at FULL, so let me explain my equipment. I am using a brand new G5, a digital output monitor, and OS X 10.4.6.
Do you guys think that I am just expecting too much from Motion, to make the image clear or should it look just as clear as a vector image in Illustrator.
Should I adjust any picture resolutions before importing a high resolution image.
Does anyone have a quick sample of Motion of a logo that they imported in motion and maybe that way I can compare it with mine, or give me the exact directions of how you smart people export and import logos into Motion. Thanks a lot, and I am destine to get my logos clear as I can.

How can I split my current video into several segments. To put on 3 different disks. Can I do this with out losing all the work?

I need help. I have completed my video and now realize it is too big for a single DVD. Is there a way I can split the video and not lose the current info so I can put video on 3 different disks?
Thank You

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to your results from further searches for that .iso file.
If you burn a Timeline content to a video file saved to the computer hard drive, you can use Publish+Share/Computer/and one of those choices to get a video file (.mov, .mpg, .avi, wmv, mp4, m2t). But, this route does not allow for menus. You can take the saved video file and transfer it to USB Flash Drive or memory card, and, if your player supports that, you can playback the file with the player.
When you burn a Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, menus are supported. And, what you have on the DVD after the burn to disc are two folders (OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS) in the correct disc system format. It is the VIDEO_TS Folder on the disc that has the video files and menu files for DVD-VIDEO format.
When you take the Timeline content to Publish+Share/Disc/DVD, but use Folder (4.7 GB), you end up with a saved folder which contains the same OpenDVD Folder and VIDEO_TS Folder that you would have gotten from the direct burn to disc. But, now you need to take just the VIDEO_TS Folder from the saved folder and get it to a DVD disc in the correct disc system format. You do that with a free 3rd party software such as ImgBurn.
If you go the ISO Image route, your DVD video files (video and menu et al) are saved as a file in format represented by the .iso file extension. It is essentially a copy of your DVD-VIDEO data including menus. The .iso image produced can be taken to DVD disc to produce the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
So, in the case of burn to folder, you are looking for a saved folder with OpenDVD Folder and VIDEO_TS Folder inside.
In the case of the burn to ISO Image, you are looking for a file with the .iso file extension.
The Save In: location of the burn dialog should point to where you are going to find the folder or file after the burn to.
Please consider. We will be watching for further developments.

Add On...have you told me yet what is exactly shown in the Save In field of your burn dialog?
C:\Users\owner\Documents or something else?

How do you create a shot that has several different video "layers"?

I saw an episode of Workaholics where Adam stays up all night and there is a part where he is sitting on the kitchen floor but there is a "second" Adam running around the house at the same time. I would like to try and recreate this but I'm new to Premiere and I don't know the exact terminology that would explain this better. For reference, it is episode 12 "telamerican horror story" of season 3.
Thanks!

That scene could be a problem.
The guy through the doorway is easy as is one of the two guys at the refridgerator.
But as soon as one of those two guys crosses the other, a 30 minute edit just became an hour of pain and suffering, or more, to edit each and every frame individually. If you are practiced at it, then fine. Otherwise, plan to devote an hour per frame for the first few frames.
Also, when you shoot the scene, you must, I repeat, MUST have your lighting under control. No sunshine, no stars, no Moon, nothing external coming in anywhere. Otherwise, if your lighting changes, you will spend a LOT of time fixing it, and it still won't be perfect.
One other thing. Your tripod has to be very sturdy and locked down absolutely tight. The slightest movement will completely ruin the scene.
However, with proper lighting, a steady tripod, and an actor/actress who hits their marks and never crosses over the boundaries between characters, it is a pretty easy job to get two, three, or even more instances done in just a few minutes.

How to remove antialiasing of vector images?

Hello. Currently, I am editing bitmap images that are not antialiased, and I made lots of vector shape layers.
And what I want to do is remove antialiasing of all vector layers because if they are antialiased, they can not fit into forementioned non-antialiased bitmap images.
I found an option to display aliasing vector images, I mean "Layer image quality" option in time line panel, and I set it "draft", but if I render my sequence, AE won't allow me to render the draft, aliasing vector image. They are antialiased. AE ignores the draft setting and renders vector layers as best quality, antialiased image.
So I want to ask how to remove antialiasing of vector image completely.
Please help me. Thank you.

I found the option.Thank you.
And I want to ask one more question.
I guess If I set render settings as Draft quality, AE renders all layers including "Best Quality" layers as Draft quality.If so,there is a problem.
If I want to render "A" bitmap layer(this layer has effects like Fast blur, Hue/Saturation) as Best quality and "B" vector layer(No effect) as Draft quality, and If I render A and B layers as Draft quality, it means I can't render "A" layer as Best quality? If so, it will be a problem. I read a manual and it says some effects won't work correctly on Draft quality layers. Is it alright to render them all as Draft quality?

How do you split clips in the event viewer in iMovie '11?

I'm using iMovie '11 and have imported a very long movie (over an hour from VCR Tape) that I want to split into multiple events, however the "Split Clip" option is grayed out. How can I split a large event into smaller events?

I have discovered a round-about way to split large events from comments in this forum, so apologies, and or thanks to other posters.
You can split events by deleting (and discarding) a single frame at the point where you want to split the two clips. It's processor intensive (takes a while to do), but it works.
1.) In the Event Viewer, click to select where you want to split the event.
2.) Drag the yellow handles to make the selection as small as possible (1 frame?). If you drag the thumbnail display slider to the left to show only 1/2 second intervals, it helps when selecting a single frame.
3.) Right click and select "Reject Selection". The clip is now split.
4.) When you've completed all of your clip splitting, select "Show: Rejected Only" at the bottom of the Event Viewer to show all of the rejected frames.
5.) Click on "Move Rejected to Trash". This operation could take a while.
That should be it.
Hope this helps.

How do you weed through duplicate images?

I love that Aperture allows tasks to be done many different ways. I'd like to hear some ideas on how to do this -
I am going through and finally getting my old photos from 2002 to current managed in Aperture. Many of the images are a mess on CD backup and more recent images are from the pc (I could get these from an EHD or in iPhoto). Long story short, I have LOTS of duplicate images from one disk to another. I mean the same photo two or three times.
My library has a top blue folder for the year. The projects within there are almost all by month year (i.e. Apr 2003). As far as I can tell, all of these images are the same - but one project might have an image that another one doesn't have. Should I worry about this or not? I am very detail oriented and anal about it - so set me straight if I need a slap into reality
Should I just go through my library and view by date and delete the duplicates without regard to which CD they came from? What would you do? How do you weed through duplicate images in this regard?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I almost thought you hit a winner there... even for general use. I started to read it and realized the import window cannot be resized. Why did I think that? Well, in general, have you ever imported from your camera and then took more pictures? Do you always remember what the last downloaded image was? Wouldn't it be great to resize that import window and see the actual library underneath to check??!
Anyway, my imports are done so .... last night I did a few months worth and I was in date view within 2003 (not the smart folder at the top under Library) and went through using the 9 key to reject the images that were duplicate. Some of them I could go to the project and reject in larger groups, but mostly it was one by one. It is a painstaking process, but ensures I have every image. Once I know I have it all, I will delete the rejects.
Keep in mind - my duplicates are not in the same project - they exist in multiple projects, sometimes two or three.
No other tips out there? I was sure there were enough power users that would have some secret tip to make life easier with Aperture.

How do you apply a vector mask to a folder in Photoshop CS6?

The ways you apply vector masks in CS6 is different than in CS5.
I knew how to apply a vector mask to a folder of layers in CS5.
I cannot figure out how to do it in CS6.
So my question is:
How do you apply a vector mask to a folder in Photoshop CS6?
And while we're at it, what are the best methods for applying vector masks to regular layers?
Thanks.

The thing is, Im not usiing the pen tool to create the vector shape. Im using the vector box tool to create a rectangle [...]
Yes and that's why I wrote the words "vector tool" and never mentioned a pen. (Although the instructions would be exactly the same for using the Pen Tool because the Pen Tool is a vector tool.)
which I then want to turn into a layer group mask.
And yes, this does not work the same way as it did in CS5.
I wish it did. : |
Adding a vector mask to a layer or group is exactly the same in CS5.1 and CS6 on my Mac. Maybe that's done differently in CS5 than in CS5.1, but it seems unlikely.
You have the layer or group targeted. Now draw a rectangular path after making sure the Rectangle Tool is in Path mode, and not Shape mode and not Pixel mode. Then Cmd/Ctrl-click the Add Mask button at bottom of Layers panel.

How would you split a 10 GB root partition? Would you?

The system seems to be booting a little slow lately (been using Arch for more than a year now) and I was thinking of splitting the root partition to improve performance.
Right now the entire OS is on a single partition. I don't have a /home partition but I can see it's usefulness:
- files on /home are, in general, more frequently written (browser cache especially), which means less fragmentation for the root partition
- having a noexec flag for /home so no potentially dangerous software will run from there (and why would you need to run software from /home?)
- my /var folder takes up 102 MB, 9.706 files in 4.846 folders. Is there a filesystem that will deal well with many small files ? ReiserFS maybe ?
So how would you split (gigabyte-wise) a 10 GB partition into /, /home and /var ? And would you ? I've been told from the IRC channel that it makes zero sense. At least not for desktop use.
PS: I'm also switching from i686 to x86_64, so please take that into account as well. For instance I noticed that 64 bit software usually takes up more space than 32 bit.

How can I split an Orders05 iDoc into multiple iDocs?

Hello,
Can one of you experts please tell me how I can split an ORDERS05 iDoc into multiple iDocs based upon Delivery addresses?
For example, if the iDoc contains 3 different Delivery Addresses then I need to split it into 3 iDocs.
It has been suggested to me that I can Create a custom function module. In this custom fm split the idoc into 3 based on the delivery address and create it using the FM MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE.
Problem is I don't know how to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan Avis
Write a Custom Z program .
1 get order05 idoc number....
2 get the segment details...(Based on you condition...)
3 In a loop send the data to the FM MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE (Based on you condition...)
4 IDOC will generated,,,every loop and
5 Change the status of original idoc .
or
Create Function module and use the FM as process code to create 3 idocs...and processs...new generated idoc and block original idocs...
Call me if you have questions @ 302 290 5677
Thanks
