Images all over the place

Today was my deadline and it is blown.
I'd love to get this done over the weekend, but it's looking baaaad.
I have a 350 page book I'm working on for export to pdf.
It's my own book. It's not for a client (I don't have any nor should I).
I have a deadline because there will be some lovely publicity about it coming out in April or May so I want to get Amazon going on it ASAP.
I have about 80 images.
I'm in Indesign CC on a mac
Just when everything looks perfect, I find some little glitch, correct it, and all the images float loose and go to all the wrong places.
I can ANCHOR some images but not all.
At the beginning of this project I was trying to anchor all of them to relevant text but got a lot of weird reactions from them and so I give it up when when it goes weird.
I know!
What do I mean by that? The image jumps off to the side or to a previous page or the text wrap stops working. Some behave nicely. but most don't. I SPENT ABOUT A WEEK ON THIS. IT'S TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME AT THIS POINT.
I've re-placed images and captions hundreds of times.
If someone can offer some very very simple advice as to what would be my best move, I'd love to have it. Complicated advice won't help me. I will not understand it. And I don't have time to take a class in indesign. I mean, I've done pretty well, but this problem keeps arising.
My default plan now is to delete ALL images. Work on the text. And then place the images one by one where they finally belong starting from the top.
AFTER FIRST INSERTING A link or something to the image or to the name of the image without modifying the text.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO DO THAT or SUGGEST A BETTER PLAN?

My default plan now is to delete ALL images. Work on the text. And then place the images one by one where they finally belong starting from the top.
If the all images it's on one folder, when file>place select all images then you use up arrow or down arrow keys to choose which photo you want to place on it's page.
I've re-placed images and captions hundreds of times.
If the caption include in photos metadata, after placing photos select all photos in links panel then mouse right click select captions>generate live captions or generate static captions

Webpage rendering images all over the place after 8.0.X

Whenever I open a web link from the financial 'stock' application, it loads normally with small fonts as usual but when double-tabbed to magnify to full screen, two things will occur:
1. the keyboard pops up which is very annoying
2. images rendered all over the place in magnified full-screen mode.
Just updated to 8.0.2 and problem still persists.

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Website images all over the place!

My site looks nothing like the iweb creation I have built.
It's photo heavy, but looks fine in iweb, and then when i publish to a foler/mobileme, I get distorted/disjointed images.
Could someone please tell me what's going on? It feels like there are errors in the layering or something. Links don't often work either.
http://www.alleinenadal.com/alleinenadal/home.html

just can't seem to get it right. it worked for one page, then i try on another page and it doesn't work - and then affects the other page. i've tried leaving the text placeholders at the top of the page in, but to no avail. using a blank page should give you the freedom to put your own images/background in no? i've seen it on other peoples' sites.
it feels like a game of trial and error. Can anyone from iweb offer any advice?????

Thank you for your attention

Adobe has been trying this and the product is called Muse ( Web design software | Download free Adobe Muse CC trial ). It doesn't give you the control over the code that most developers prefer but it could help bridge the gap for design if that is what you are looking for.

I have a comment. I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool. I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face. This tool does not work. It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple. How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?
Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

Image all over the button

Hi guys,
Wonder if it is possible to place an image all over the button (as if it is "center" borderLayout).
login = new JButton(new ImageIcon("images/login.gif"));
in this case the image is in the center and i want to eliminate all the gray area.
thanks
peter

button.setInserts(0,0,0,0);
button.setBorder(null);
button.setBorderPainted(false);think that might work!! try one of those all all of them hope that it helps

My stills are all over the place when I export them. How can I have them play as they appear on the Viewer?

Hello everyone.
When I exported my video (all stills), the images are all over the place. I had adjusted the postition (X & Y) for each one, and when I exported the video, the stills are not staying in one place, but are coming from different angles and different positions. How can I fix it so that when exported, it plays as it does on my Viewer?
Thank you!

First, I'd try deleting all render files in both the associated Events and Projects (File menu). Do not render before exporting.
"Preference Manager" is a free download from Digital Rebellion (dot com) you can delete the FCP X pref files quickly, easily, safely. Try that next.

My Photos Are All Over The Place Can I Move Them?

Hi...
After numerous Exports and Imports... My images are all over the place on my Hard Drives. Is there a way I centralize them and have Lr4 move them into a central place so I don't need to hunt them down all the time?
Thanks in advance!!!

Yes you can do that within Lightroom. I recommend you look at Julianne Kosts Lightroom videos on AdobeTV regarding cataloging - they are free.

Webpage all over the place

When i design my web page it looks fine on the screen but when i veiw it from a computera smaller screen size everything just goes all over the place, e.g. the title goes onto the next line and images move around.
As i am not so good at html i would appreciate if you can please send me the html to fix this problem
thanks a lot

As i am not so good at html
This will have to change if you want to continue to work with DW. Without a solid understanding of HTML, DW will remain a frustrating mystery to you.
i would appreciate if you can please send me the html
How could we do this without seeing your page and its underlying HTML and CSS? Post a link to the live page so we can give you a meaningful answer.

Analyzing then rendering...frames jumping all over the place

After sending clip from FCP to Shake, I set interlacing to <even> and then <analyzed>. Upon rendering, I found the frames jumping all over the place. And not a complete image filling in the viewer.
I watched Capt. Menches' tutorial and couldn't get things to gel.
He also mentioned nothing about <deinterlacing> I am using straight QT file, not HD.
I have just two clips I want to smoothcam effect.
Thanks

Thanks.
It was a DV file in FCP then I exported as a Quicktime Self contained movie.
It is now called FCP Movie file with DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
When I open it with Compressor it shows this info as well: NTSC CCIR 601/DV
Also I am under the impression that the de-interlacing should be set to even, Yes?
The clip really isn't so shaky to begin with.
When I play it back in the flipbook. Some frames are on one side of the window then to the other side with some of the frames clipped.
Should I use compressor to make a different codec. I have never used that part of FCP.

Video Dimensions all Over the Place

Hello there,
First off you'll have to excuse me as I'm pretty new to the whole video side of things. Well the problem is, I've created a DVD which is supposed to go to a client fairly soon - and the problem is while viewing it the screen size is jumping all over the place. I have video elements provided by clients which i imported as timelines, i have menu's with static backgrounds and i have timeline menu transitions which are dynamically linked from after effects.
The only part of the dvd that appears full screen (16x9) is the dynamically linked transitions. They are 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen and are set to 16x9 in encore (greyed out).
The video stuff from the client is 720x405 Square Pixels set to 4x3 in encore (greyed out). This appears letter boxed and pillar boxed.
The menu stuff is 720x480 D1/DV NTSC Widescreen set to 4x3 in encore. This appears letter boxed and pillar boxed.
After reading what i've wrote in my last few sentences, i can now see the problem is because nothing is the same! So the question is more now what i do to correct it. Do i resize the client video and the menu images to 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen? And if i do this will it crop the video or will it squeeze the video etc. on a 4x3 screen?
Thanks for the help,
Steven.

Ok, now I've resized all menu's and assets to 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen (set to 16x9 in encore). On a 16x9 screen everything is looking very sexy indeed, but on a 4x3 screen it is letterbox. I tested this with a regular DVD which adjusts to fill the 4x3 screen.
Any quick way of achieving this?
It may be possible, but not with Encore - a menu is either full 4:3 or full 16:9, but not both. Similarly, 16:9 video from Encore will play back letterboxed on a 4:3 screen.
An additional note: not all commercial DVDs behave in the way you describe - sometimes menus are either 4:3 or 16:9, but not both, and nearly always 16:9 video is displayed letterboxed on a 4:3 monitor.

Why does iDVD store stuff "all over the place"? Project now broken

Hi all,
did an hour long family movie project, and in the meantime cleaned up my documents folder and deleted some stuff that I thought was internet downloads etc, or extra working files.
Turns out it was the important audio stuff for iDVD!
I've broken my project... the stuff was obviously important, and now when I open this project it has a big broken chain on it.
Why does iDVD store important stuff "all over the place" like that? I mean, it's confusing enough (for newbies) to learn where the events and where the projects are stored, but why does it strip off the sound and store them in documents where ANYTHING could get deleted?

Just to add, an iDVD project should be thought of as a shell, an empty container. It has references to the media files used in it, but does not actually contain these files. The files remain in their normal locations. When you burn to disk, or create a disk image file, iDVD pulls these files just for encoding onto a DVD disk or into a disk image file. It does not really move these files into its project files. Your iMovies, photos and audio files remain where they are. If you move, change, rename or delete any of these files, iDVD will not be able to locate them, and you will see the broken link images.
For this and several other reasons, it is a good idea to leave everything alone and not go deleting any files until you have finished your iDVD project.
Then, when you are ready to burn it to DVD disk, be sure to do a 'Save as disk image' to create a disk image file of the project. This process looks like the burn process, and the encoding will take just as long, but the end result is a self-contained disk image file, not a burned DVD disk.
The advantage of the disk image file is that you will have an exact copy of your iDVD project with all the media files encoded into it. You now can safely delete all the media used in this iDVD project without losing the project. Now you can clean up your documents folder! Deleting all the files used in the project will also save you drive space.
You can save disk image files as backups and can move them to external drives or other computers. You can burn DVD disks from disk image files using Disk Utility or Toast. You don't have to worry about your burned DVD disk breaking/melting or having something spilled on it (kids in the house!). You can always get the disk image file and burn another copy. (Great for the relatives who somehow 'lose' the great DVD you made for them!).
You cannot edit the disk image files however, so you should be creating one only when your project is completely finished.
If you wish to save all your iDVD files while you are working on a project, you can archive your iDVD project. I have not found the need to do this, but the link J Keller gave you for the tutorial explains how to save as archive and as disk image. Obviously, the archive project will be larger since it is saving all the media. Archived projects can also be moved to other drives or computers.
Hope you can recreate your project.
Note to J Keller: the video tutorial was quick and gave the brief how-to and why. Nothing complicated.

How come my links layout go all over the place in different browsers?

Hello,
Please go to <http://www.peterdanko.com/errr.png> and see the screen shot of the page I am having difficulty with in the design view. Note the links: INSTALLATIONS, BELT COLORS, FINISHING, PRICING are neatly centered with the text body above and in a single line.
Now view <http://www.peterdanko.com/atmos.html> Note they are now stacked and randomly placed. In different browsers they are all over the place.
How can I keep them neat and tidy in all browsers?
Thanks
PETER

Below is the complete html code/css re-written for the 'product-wrapper' section. (scroll down). Not sure if this is of help or not. I think you need to take some time to learn some more html/css as the way youre going about it at the moment must be a complete nightmare for you. Copy the code below, (scroll down) paste into a new Dreamweaver document and save to your site folder. View in browser.
You need to simplify your way of working instead of creating a <div> for each of your page elements, which must be a headache to keep track of???
Example: Instead of putting your header 'Atmos Seating Group' in it's own individual <div> use a more meaningfull html tag like a header tag, <h2>Atmos Seating Group</h2>
Then use some css to target the <h2>. We know the <h2> tag is in the 'right_tx_bx_400pxWd' <div> so write it as below:
right_tx_bx_400pxWd h2 {
text-align: center;
margin: 15px 0;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #999;
Similarly instead of inserting the main wording in its own <div> use a paragraph tag, <p></p> it's more meaningful. Then target the paragraph tag:
#right_tx_bx_400pxWd p {
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 16px;
color: #999;
Get the point. We only have to keep track of one <div> not several and we can target tags in that <div> more cleanly and effectively.
Try and keep all off your css together i.e. so all the 'right_tx_bx_400pxWd' css is kept together so its easy to find in the stylesheet intead of scrolling up and down.
Don't use heights on <divs> unless you know how high it will be and you won't know that unless it just contains images or you set a specific height for a scroll bar.

Clipping masks from AI jumping all over the place in AE

I have a project I've been working on for a while, and have encountered an extremely annoying bug that only seems to have appeared since the latest update...
Basically, I have a bunch of layers from Illustrator which have clipping masks within them. When I bring these into After Effects and add any kind of movement (camera, masks etc), the images inside the clipping masks jump around all over the place. Not the masks themselves, or the layers - just the images inside them.
This has only started happening since the latest update to CC 2014 - it's something I've done a million times before and it's always been fine.
Really hoping someone can shed some light on this, as I don't have much hair left to pull out...
Thanks

one update - we had a look back at some of the previous projects we've produced using this technique, and it's still apparent there (so in CC & CC2014 projects) - it just seems to be much worse in this particular project.

Music library after data recovery - ID3 tags all over the place

Hi,
For a short time there i was using my external drive as my music library, while i sorted enough space ot run it from C:
However, that didn't last long and i was asked if i wanted to reformat the drive.
Using Easeus I was able to recover the mp3s. But they're all over the place i.e songs labelled as one thing will be something else, about 70% of the time. Also some songs randomly chnage to others.
Is there any method i can use to resolve any of this, without re-doing my entire collection?
thanks for any suggestions
matt

The best option is to recover from backup, but I guess you don't have one. You can also recover from an iPod if you have one:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
Failing that, are you certain that the tags are wrong in the actual files, the tags are part of the file, so I am surprised if they were changed if you were able to recover the files successfully. It is hard to see how they could be messed up if the file is OK unless something else messed with them.
I am afraid you have a lot of work ahead of you. You might be able to use a tag editor to get tags from the internet - MP3 tag is an example, but I think the tracks need to be arranged into CDs for this to work.
There is also something called PicardTagger which is supposed to use the audio footprint of the file to identify it, but I have no experience with it myself.
