How to create a cropping preset?

Hello,
So I am new to using Premiere and am having some difficulties locating things (if they even exist.)
I create videos for YouTube and on my endslate I have a "Last Episode" which has my last video cropped smaller. When I used Vegas I was able to save this crop as a preset so that when I made my next video i could just select the preset and it would resize the video exactly the same and in the same position.
Can this be done on Premiere, if so how?
Example on Vegas: http://gyazo.com/304244898c9bce384dc549fe4f7ab865

No sure if you are cropping (cutting of the edges) or just scaling the entire image down (like a picture in picture)
In the Effects palet you will find the Crop tool.
Apply the effect then right click on the effect in the Effect Controls and save as preset.
You can also save fixed effect (everything in the Motion, Opacaity and Time remapping) as a preset.
Done the same way as describe above.

LR3 How to create a border preset

Hi
Is it possible to create a standard border for my images I upload to Flickr. I have the Flickr LR3 export set up for a particular size. Sometimes I have to create a border in PS CS5 before exporting to Flickr. Its a bit of a pain so wondered if somehow I could create a standard sort of preset which I could select for my Flickr uploading
Thanks

For that I would look at Mogrify

How to create audio unit presets

When used with some applications, some audio units show presets.
But there is apparently no way to create, save and load presets, for example for the AU GraphicEq...
Is there a solution to do so ?
Thanks

Nicholas P,
Welcome to apple discussions!
I'm not really sure about the answer to your question. It would be nice. I would think that if some applications display presets and others don't, its more a matter of whether the program contains the code to display and apply presets. Nonetheless, I thought this might interest you. Good Luck!

How to create drop shadow preset?

I have now spent an entire day searching and trying to create a preset for fcpx. On most of the effects I use, i have the option to save as a preset. BUT with the drop shadow effect, I doesn't.
On the instructions in the help section for editing a FCPX effect, it claims you need to either right click or control click the effect in the media browser, and then select "open a copy in motion". This works on any effect BUT Drop shadow! lol.
So I then with my limited knowledge of Motion 5, tried to create a FCPX effect on my own. I created a new FCPX Effect, Then in the HUD I applied the drop shadow with the settings I needed, and saved it. Then in FCPX I applied it to the track, but nothing happened. I am lost, and need help. I ahve to apply a drop shadow with 50% opacity, and 30% for blur to over 600 clips in over a month. I can't do it manually and then adjust the parameters manually for each one. PLEASE HELP!
Chris

The Drop Shadow is actually coded with FXPlug, it is not a straigth Motion template. Any effect or template that is coded can't be opened in Motion.
When you create your own, you need to publish the parameters you need access to.
I think what you need to look at is the Paste Attributes function. Select a clip in your Timeline that you've applied the Drop Shadow to and have tweaked it. Command-C to copy it. Select all the other clips at once, in the Edit menu select "Paste Attributes", then specify only the Drop Shadow effect. Poof, done.

How to create a Print Preset

I am migrating from a Windows environment to a mac. I have also updated my software from PS CS3 to Elements 12. In the Windows environment when printing my note cards all I had to do was click on print, which brought up a dialog box. I then clicked on page setup which brought me to an area where I selected a preset which had all of the settings needed to print my note cards. How do I duplicate this in Elements 12 and the mac environment?
Thx

In the OS X window that opens after you click Print in the PSE print window, click the Show Details button to expand the window and make your choices for paper, ink, etc, then click the Presets menu at the top of the window and choose Save Current Settings as Preset:

How to create an import develop preset

If it can be done, does anyone know how to create an import preset that will automatically turn on lens profile correction or remove chromatic aberrations quickly when I import photos?

If using LR5 that may course LR/computer to run slow and even stop. Seems to effect some more than others. I removed lens correction from my import preset and that has seemly solved all my slowness dramas
I only do lens corrections when exporting or sending files to PS/Nic and only if I really have to in editing. After exporting I remove the lens correction from the raw file.

CS3: how to create action to add fixed text of foreground color, etc.

I'm trying to create an action and/or brush preset(?) that will:
1) Add a fixed text string in the forground color, consistent font, size, etc.
2) Apply a consistent Layer Style -> Bevel and Emboss setting
3) Allow me to move the text to whatever position
4) Change text layer opacity
5) Flatten
At some point in the past when searching the internet I came upon a description of how to create a brush preset (I think that was it) that did at least most of this, but somehow I seem to have lost the preset and don't know how to recreate it.
thanks,
Mike

First it is And/or you can create both or one or the other. For in actions and scripts you can not automate the use of a brush.
1) Add a fixed text string in the forground color, consistent font, size, etc.
    Easy if all images are the same size and a little more work if image size vary for you will need to scale the image.
    If you want to scale the image back to it original scale at the end of the action you need to use a little script in the action. .
2) Apply a consistent Layer Style -> Bevel and Emboss setting
    Again easy if aoo images are the same size not posible if images vary in size for many setting in layer style are in absolute pixel size.
    However layer styles will look good for a range of images sizes like Print Size or thunbnail size or small web sizes.
    Therfore I create actions for print size images and work full size. if I need smaller image I work full size and resize before output.
3) Allow me to move the text to whatever position
     This is quite easy to do in an action you simply add an interactive transform step after adding the text layer.
     However this is not a good idea if you want to batch the action. Interactive sort of defeats batch.
     With an action it is easy to posion a layer.
4) Change text layer opacity
    Simply change the added text layers opacity and or fill and it will be recorded.
5) Flatten
    Simple just record it I don't like actions that flatten though. If you give your action to some and the use it on an image the did a lot of work on the may get very upset the your acrion flatten all their work.
Have a look at my Crafting Actions Package it cantains a sample action that add a text copyright layer to any size image.

How to create a preset for computer output of 1024x768?

I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 1.0 (yes, 1! :) ) to PE7. I record user group meetings for my local software developers group. We have screen capture at 1024x768 pixels and audio.
In PE1 I had no trouble bringing this footage in, editing it and exporting it as 1024x768 for viewing online by the members.
However, I can't seem to find anyway to create a project preset for 1024x768. It seems I can only create SD, HD and similar.
When attempting to create a custom preset 90% of the values are pre-filled with settings and I can't change them. I see textboxes for the height and width but I can't change them.
Is this a limitation of PE7? Why in the world can I not create a video any size I want? Without this ability the upgrade is almost useless to me.
Please let me know because I feel like I must just be missing something.
Thanks!
Matt

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I did see the 720p preset and this does produce a nice image. The SD preset made the output look muddy and the screen text was unreadable.
That being said, when importing my media into a project on the 720p preset I get the black letterbox bars on the side.
I did render a 10 second test area and changed the output size to 1024x768. I was afraid it would squash the entire video, but much to my surprise it just cropped it. So, while I have to work with the letterboxing I can output an actual 1024x768 video. I was also having a little trouble because I was using File - Export Movie to, well, export my movie. When I tried the Share task, set it to PC and changed the settings this was much easier and produced a much better result.
Thanks for the help!
FYI, I use PE7 to export it as a wmv. I'm playing with Expression Encoder to then encoded this with VC-1 for Silverlight clients.

How to Create and apply adjustment preset for printing

How can I create an adjustment preset that I can apply to images before I print? In Photoshop CS3, it's easy: I just create an action. But how do I apply a preset that simply shifts existing settings a relative amount instead of applying absolute settings that overwrite image-specific settings?
The problem is that my Epson R1800 and its profiles output images that have a yellow shift to them. What I want to be able to do is apply a +5 shift to the shadow tint (camera calibration) and a +10 shift to the WB tint on top of whatever settings I already have after development.
Any ideas?
(and yes, I do use colour management, my monitor is calibrated, and I instruct LR2 to manage colour and use the profile specific to my printer, paper, and print quality setting)

No ideas here? Surely someone must have wanted to apply an adjustment to compensate for a printer's tendencies or the different dmax, shadow detail, and colour temperature of various papers and illuminant sources (incandescent vs daylight fluorescent, sunlight), or at least use different tone / contrast settings or different amounts of sharpening (before the new print sharpening facility appeared in LR2).

How to Create a PSD file in C#

How to Create a PSD file in C#

Converting an image file to .psd is easy in Aperture - just export the image version with one of the export presets "PSD - Original size" or "PSD - Half size".
But I suspect, that will not solve your problem, since you are trying to create a watermark in Aperture and probably want to create a transparent background for the watermark, to give it an arbitrary shape. That cannot be done in Aperture. Aperture does not support compositing and layers. If you want to create an image of an arbitrary shape with a transparent background you need to use a program that supports compositing. Since you do not have Photoshop, you could try the free GIMP instead (afaik, there is no Lion version of GIMP; the most recent version is Mt. Lion only; you could try if the Snow Leopard version works on your system).
Any program that you own, that lets you write or draw on a transparent background will be fine. The Watermark file does not necessarily need to be a psd-file. A png will also work. You can also use Preview to convert between image formats or to annotate an image with text.

How to create a PS file out of Freehand MX?

I am new to these forums, and wonder if anyone can help
clarify a question:
How to create a PS file with fonts embedded, out of Freehand
MX?
I am very late in making the transition to OSX /Freehand MX /
CS1 (better late than never).
Up until recently I have been using Freehand 8/9 under OS 9.2
to create a Postscript file, selecting 'Embed All Fonts' in the
save to file dialog box. Then distilling the PS file through
Acrobat Distiller 5 with press ready settings. All works fine and
no problems with the printed results.
Now running FH MX under OSX (10.2.8 Jaguar?) I have added a
virtual PS printer but I am unable to work out how to successfully
embed fonts, and would much appreciate any advice!! Thanks in
advance.

I would be careful saying that the resolution is correct for
any
publication. Newspaper print is typically at 85 lpi where as
standard
press printing (even magazines) is 150 lpi or higher. These
require 170
and 300 ppi images, respectively. Not knowing what the
D6Dispatch
preset gives you I would think it's closer to 170 than 300
which would
not be enough for most print needs other than newspaper.
Also, your directions for finding the PS option are when
using OS X 10.3
or earlier, which is what the original poster is using. For
others, in
10.4, it is found in the "PDF" button found at the bottom of
all option
sections. It is labeled oddly as "Save PDF as PostScript".

How to create a smallest file size pdf from indesign CS4 document

How to create a smallest file size pdf (suitable for upload to a website) from indesign CS4 document which contains multiple illustrator CS4 illustrations.
I have chosen the "smallest file size option" but the pdf file is over 30MB, can anyone help please.
Thank you

One trick is to
Set the placed graphics to have a transparency of 99.9% (you can do this with Find/Change and select Objects)
This is enough to force the graphics throught the Transparency Flattener
Next set the Transparency Blend Space to RGB (Edit>Transparency Blend Space)
Next set a custom Transparency Flattner Preset Edit>Transparency Flattner
Next
Use File>Export and choose
Smallest file size
PDF Compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
In Advanced Section - go to transparency and selec the new Flattener Preset you created.
*this will convert your vectors to raster, but it should reduce your file size

How to create PDF without embedded fonts from Indesign

Can anyone tell me how to create from Indesign a PDF that certainly does not contain any fonts I don't want to include? But that would appear in the same layout in a substituted font, including italics and small caps?

You can't, InDesign will embed the fonts for you.
To unembed fonts you need Acrobat Professional. Go to Tools>Print Production>Pdf Optimiser
go to Fonts
And select the fonts to unembed.
You could select any text and change the Transparency to 99.9%.
Then in Edit>Transparency Flattener make a new one using High as a base for the new
Select Convert Text to Outlines.
When you Export to pdf, choose Adobe PDF 1.3, and go to Flattening, choose the new Flattener Preset that you just made.
And when you export it, any text forced through the Flattener will be converted to outlines. (this could violate the terms of the Font Licencing.)
