How to make subtitles in CS4?

Hi, is it possible to work with closed captionings and srt files in Premiere CS4 or is it just not available? I've searched AdobeTV, Creative Cow and YouTube and it all seems so simple but often people don't tell, in which verion they work.
Primaliry I'd like to deliever a video (made in Premiere) with subtitles "burnt in" onto the video to the customer. (Customer wants choosen font, white on black stripe 70% transparancy, so I'll got to have the possibility to edit this)
However I'd like to use freeware as Subtitle Edit or Subtitle Workshop to make the subtitles. In that way I consider, I could get use of the files for coming editions, if that question araises; Closed Captioning, saving srt, scc or mcc. Could you please tell me which way to go?

Are you talking about the Selection>Modify>Expand to increase the Selection by a set amount? There is also a Border feature in Selection, but I tend to doubt that is what you want, as it will just place a "border" of a set size "around" your Selection. Please clarify.
Good luck,
Hunt

How To Make an AE CS4 Comp Work In PrePro CS4?

(System is a Quad, 4GB, and 3 large HDrv's, none of which is over half full. Vista 32-bit with all updates. Latest nVidia driver.)
AE OpenGL status says every OpenGL feature is "Supported".
Made a 17 sec comp in AE CS4 with cartoon effect applied. The AE preview window has the desired look to it.
Objective is to get that 17-sec's useable in Pr CS4.
Both the AE comp and the Pr project are of the same dimensions (1920x1080), PAR(1), and fps(29.97), and the raw files in AE are of the ones that are in the Pr Project. In Premiere, cache is on C:, Scratch and Project on D:, raw files on E:
1. From AE, render using the defaults for Render Settings (Best) and Outut Module (Lossless) - render dies before it starts with a sheep sound, no log or error msg. What type of error could make AE silently abort a render?
2. From AE, render using custom settings to produce an output file that Pr should import (such as mpeg). Render completes. File does import into Pr but no effects are present, just the raw-file look. What possible setting could prevent AE from applying the effects to a rendered output?
3. From Pr, import a Pr project that was made and exported by AE, and
a) view it in the Source monitor, but source monitor displays only the first frame without any effects. Scrub the CTI, still only 1st frame. Is there something wrong with the Project made by AE?
b) place it onto a new sequence. The Program Monitor remains blank. The timeline is pink. What does a pink item on a timeline in Pr indicate?
c) Attempt to Sequence > Render Entire Work Area. It begins but says it'll take >20 hours (over 1 minute a frame). During this time Task Manager shows AfterFX.exe has constant page faults, thousands every second and sometimes as many as 30,000 to 40,000. Page faults imply insufficient memory. Does this mean 4GB of system memory is not enough for a 17-sec AE comp with Premiere? Is this something that can be done only with a 64-bit system and lots more memory?
4. From Pr, import the AE project, which imports OK. However, results are same as 3. above.
5. From Pr, attempt Dynamic Link with File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition. The AE project appears, put that in a Sequence. Results are similar to 3. and 4. above.

The Cartoon effect is twitchy somehow. It seems to resort to graphics hardware even when you tell it not to... Did you disable OpenGL in AE completely and attempt a render? If not, please try that first. Move the AE_OpenGL.aex out of C:\Program Files\Adobe\After Effects CS4\Support files\Plug-Ins\Extensions to a different location outside the AE install directory and see if the render goes through.

CS4|5 Exporter - how to make slider with no checkbox?

Hi all,
I can't work out how to make a slider with no checkbox next to it.
Also it is possible to make two fields next to each other?
eg:
M: 15 N: 3
Zac, it would be nice if you mentioned in the Docs that multi choice widgets are a Radio Button pair for < 3 otherwise it's a Drop Down box.

Hi Rallymax,
The slider + checkbox behavior was a problem with the first version of the exporter API in CS4, but in CS5 it has been fixed. The problem was in how the exporter host layer interpreted the parameters specified via the Export Param Suite. So when making presets for your exporter, it would make sense to use CS5, since CS4 has the problematic behavior. I haven't tried this, but bringing those presets from CS5 back to CS4 may solve the problem in CS4.
So far we haven't had any need or request for two editable fields side-by-side.
Sure, I can add that detail to the docs.
Regards,
Zac

Cross-compatibility between FCP7 & AE CS4 on Win7-64 - how to make it work?

I'm currently capturing from an Intensity Pro on a mac OS X 10.5.8 thru HDMI so my source is very high quality.
I've been capturing to ProRes 422 HQ.
I'd like to edit in FCP7, then output clips that would be used with AE CS4 on Win7-64.
Also on the PC, I'd like to be able to use SynthEyes to view the clips to get motion tracking data.
I want to them be able to move my output from AE CS4 on Win7-64 back to the Mac for final editing.
The roadblock seems to be the lack of ProRes 422 HQ on win7-64 (unless I'm missing something).
I'm open to using another Codec (like Cineform?).
If I have to, I'll capture in Premiere (and maybe look at an Mx02 Mini while I'm at it) but I'd prefer to do my final editing in FCP7 - so I'll need a way to get the clips over to the Mac without degrading them.
Any ideas on how to make this workflow work?

my only issue is how to get the resulting files back to FCP so that, when I mix them in with other ProRes files, I won't have some massive re-rendering headache.
Exactly. And the Windows machine cannot encode ProRes.
I've asked the CineForm folks if they can output a ProRes container (packaged with their codec inside) - and maybe this will work?
No...they don't do ProREs. That is an Apple codec. They do CINEFORM codec. If you convert everything to Cineform, and encode to that format on both, then you have no rendering. But I'm sure you'll need to get two licenses...one on each machine.
What codec could you use on both machines that is comparable to ProRes? Well...Cineform. Sheer by Bitjazz. Not sure if the UNCOMPRESSED codecs are cross platform, meaning that the PC can render to this. I have always exported an Animation codec to the FX guys. They do their stuff, send back Animation, then I convert to the format I am working with. Yeah, that is a lot of converting. Which is why it might be wise to use one codec both machines can read/encode.

How to make this effects on AE CS4

First of all, I apologize for my English
Anyway it's amazing video
I'm wondering can AE do this? or need to use some software like cinema 4D ? How to make the light streak around the guys , and some part it look like it's behind on some parts I tried , rotoscoping some part the light streaks will go to behind , but how to go back to front ? and it look smooth and perfect like the preview video? Anyone could tell me the steps for this project?
Anyway , here are my quesions 1. I don't know how to create the own path for the light streak , for example , i want to make it around the guys . 2. When it's a moving objects , how can I make that perfect for the light streaks path ? Thank someone for help

The answers are the same ones you got on Video CoPilot. Yes, rotoscoping and yes, Particular. The rest is just a matter of a few keyframes, some tracking and arranging everything in 3D space plus finding the right masking modes. Just keep trying. Nobody can explain to you how to make art, especially since you are a beginner at both AE and Particular.

How to make a gradient on two paths

Hello,
I am fairly new to Illustrator, although have used Photoshop, Fireworks and DW to some degree in the past.
In CS4, I am trying to make a country map with different counties or states. Using the map of the UK and including Wales, Scotland, and some of the counties as an example. I need to portray the whole country, but only highlight a specific part of the land, along a train line and so quickly fade away to almost transparent in the further edges.
Using the pen tool I have traced the country and county borders as paths. I then used the fill tool to make each country, or sea, a different colour. Now I want to fade the edges of my map away to transparent to bring attention to the middle. I have drawn another path on top and beyond the edge of the artwork and tried to make a transparency overlay and gradient in this path to make it fade to the edges. However, this does not work as I had hoped for three reasons.
1) the darkest edge of my 'fade path' does not blend into the country below but is quite an obvious line.
2) the gradient is a different colour as it sits on top of other paths of different colours.
3) the gradient is linear, from top to north, of radial, from a certain spot. I need the gradient to flow out in all directions from a un-uniform 'blob' roughly in the middle.
Can you please tell me how I can achieve my aim?
3) I had one more query when tracing my map ... I have two shapes and the paths align along one edge, think of the south border of Scotland, and the north border of England for example. At the moment I have these two paths running alongside each other but not joined. So if I didn't draw my pen accurately, there are small pockets where they don't touch. Ideally I would like to borrow the other path line for a time then leave it as it continues on it's own route.
Sorry if I mixed up the terms, I hope you can understand me.
Hope you can advise which tools I should be using, or some tutorials I can follow?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mylenium. I've certainly learnt something from both replies. I have now finished tracing the countries using your paste and cut method. It was quite a tedious job! I also found using the lasso tool and direct selecion tool that I could highlight just the area that bordered the next county/country. My the latter stages I had to select multiples, join them and then add, delete more anchor points. I'm sure there must be an easier way to trace an image!
I tried the live trace, but the map I was using was too detailed it traced geography and not the borders. Anyway, I'm there now. Thanks for the advice.
I think I'm on the wrong track with the 'blob'. I didn't mean the blob tool on AI, but was referring to the middle content of my map following the railway line, which is the bit I wanted to 'stand out' from the rest. I have perservered and think I'm getting somewhere with the gradients.
Thanks also Skullmaster for the idea of gradient. It wasn't working how I need, but from your link I found how to make a 'transparent opacity mask' which I have used with a photo in the background to some effect.
It is a feature rich software and hard to know what to look for when I'm not sure of the terms. Unfortunately I have a deadline for what I'm doing and this map is only a small part of it. It will have to remain a work in progress as I slowly learn more techniques.
I'm sure I'll be back with more ...

Merge to HDR Pro - how to make it work?

The 'Automate -> Merge to HDR' feature worked fine during the first few weeks of my Ps CS5 trial but now doesn't work. Photoshop gets through the Merge to HDR Pro dialog but throws the attached error when returning to Ps.
If Merge to HDR Pro is chosen on DNG images from Lightroom 2.7 or Bridge CS5, Photoshop again gets through the Merge to HDR Pro dialog but when creating the HDR image and returning to Ps seems to throw it away with no resulting error. Photoshop just stares blankly with no image open.
I experienced the same error with CS4 and was excited when the Merge to HDR Pro feature on my CS5 trial worked fine, yet with 5 days left in the trial the HDR feature now refuses to cooperate. It previously was working OK from the Automate menu, from Lr 2.7, and from Bridge. What exactly I did to upset Photohop is a mystery.
I've tried resetting preferences and removing all plugins and extenstions to no avail. Any ideas on how to make Merge to HDR Pro functional?

There has been a long and continuous thread regarding CS5 having problems when one tries to save images that have been combined in Merge to HDR Pro. I have exactly the same problem. I have been shooting 3 images bracketed -1, 0, +1 or -2, 0, +2. When I select 3 images in Bridge. Go to Tools>Ph otoshop>Merge to HDR Pro the computer does its work and produces an image of a combination of the 3. I can see the image, and in the Layers Panel I see 3 Layers plus one Layer that is entitled Merge to HDR Pro(layer is devoid of image. When I try to Save As Photoshop freezes up. I have 11 Screenshots to illustrate. Also Select 3 in BridgeI have tried many different sets of images.

Merge to HDR - How to make it work?

Merge to HDR worked once on the CS4 sample files but no more. Photoshop gets through the Merge to HDR dialog on the sample jpegs (or my own jpegs) but throws the following error when creating the HDR image:
Error 54: uncaught JavaScript exception: Error #.
Line: 168
-> throw err;
If Merge to HDR is chosen on DNG images from Lightroom 2.1 or Bridge CS4, Photoshop again gets to the Merge to HDR dialog but when creating the HDR image seems to throw it away with no resulting error. Photoshop just stares blankly with no image open.
And resetting the Photoshop preferences of course has no effect on this abnormal behaviour. Any ideas on how to make Merge to HDR functional?
(Needless to say Merge to HDR works okay on CS2.)

I just tried it as I was curious. It's not working here if I run the script and then browse to the files. If I have the files already open it works.
I'm having the very same issue with the "load files into stack" script. It appears to start but only results in one file, not a stack...nor a 32 bit merge of multiple files in the case of hdr.
In addition I'm having issues opening some 16 bit tiff files that load fine in CS3.

How to make a photo half black and white with select colours

Hey,
Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to make a photo black and white with abit of colour like the one attached... on CS4?
Cheers

Haven't seen you attached file as it takes a long time for attachments to load on this forum. Try little camera icon instead.
EASIEST way to have B&W in areas is to add Hue and Saturation adjustment layer. Use sliders to make B&W. Next paint on layer MASK, with black, to restore color in areas you want to show color.

How to make a MP4 H264

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone on here knew how to make an MP4 H264 file from the Flash CS4 program. I have a video, but I don't know how to make it into an MP4 other than save it as a Quicktime .mov file with no compression (compressing at all makes it look horrible) and then take that .mov file and make into an MP4 in Adobe Media Encoder. It's a semi-big file that way, though. Is there a better way to do this? I know that I could take an flv file or a f4v file and make it an MP4 file in Encoder, but I don't know if there's even a way to make my Flash file into a flv file from Flash other than to use another encoder, which I really don't want to do.
So, opinions would be great. How would you all make an MP4 H264 file from a Flash file?

It work perfectly, thanks Dean, and make me know in the next survey;
I usually get it late.....
I work with director since version 7, it's still a nice program for very professionals presentations.
More versatile and productive than flash for our point of view.
Fortunately I need poor programming knowledge but most graphic or communication skills.
With mp4 I can introduce video as a graphic component so After Effect (as before Photoshop)
became a contribution program.
But.
Flv doesn't work, is practically impossible to import the file into the timeline without having an error message.
Mp4 sometimes is not visible, if I go to play in editing mode.
Some suggestions?

How to make custom start end shapes for stroke (arrowheads)...

hello...
Indesign cs4 have nice start end stroke shapes like arrowheads, circles, squares...circles is clear, without fill. I need fill in it.
How to make custom shapes or edit existings start/end shapes to functioning like original provided with indesign?
Maybe illustrator cs4 have this?

There's no way to edit line endings in ID. You would have to make a compound path from a line with no ending and a second path or shape for the end.
