Import image and set length

hi,
am a long time Premiere and AE user. Currently just testing the trial version of FCP X on a new project. also interested in Compressors distributed rendering.
Q1:
in the intro of a project I am using a clip where I want to blend in the brand logo of a company (tiff or PSD with neutral background) for about 6 secs, and then blend out.
not a big deal in Premiere, just drag the PSD or Tiff in, set the length and blend, and you are done.
How do I do that in FCP? couldn't find a way to set the length of time to display that tiff or psd (they are just fixed in length), and also neutral background was not easy to do.
Q2:
I do a lot of TimeLapse work for clients. for producing TL sequences, I usually just load a TL image sequence into AE, do the deflickering and then render a quicktime clip etc.
how is this done in FCP X? importing a image sequence takes ages and does not lead to any result.
thanks for any tips on both topics.
cheers
chris

Q1.
Select the image in the Event Browser and press 'Q' to apply it to the timeline as a connected clip (or if you prefer to apply the image to the primary storyline, press 'E' to append it to the end of the storyline, or 'D' to overwrite the storyline at the playhead position.
All you need to do then is drag either end of the clip to extend it as much as you want to.
Q2.
'Import' - then check 'Image Sequence' and choose the first number in the sequence of images.

Importing images and setting longer than 10:00 length

Dear all, I have a very simple question. Whenever I import an image into my project, it is automatically set to length of 10:00. In the sequence viewer, I cannot drag it to make it longer than a certain length of time. So, I end up having to add several copy of the image.
How can I make the image I import have a longer length?
BTW, I am using this image as an overlay ontop of my video.

Import of images is controlled by Final Cut Express>User Preferences>General Tab.
Still/Freeze Duration can be set here to any duration you like.
You should be able to double click your still in the Timeline, it opens in the Viewer. Adjust the duration in the Top Left Timecode box. If clips are either side of the still in the Timeline it may not work as there won't be enough room for the duration to be longer.

I'm involved in fashion and would like to know which Adobe program would be suitable for importing images and my company logo to design fabric and send as image to fabric printers? Thanks

Adobe Illustrator. Your company logo should be a vector file. Image files can be "Placed" in Illustrator. Artwork created for printing can be drawn in Illustrator and saved as .ai, .eps, and .pdf files which can be imported into your printer's RIP. But, check with your print vendors and see what they require. This does not rule-out Photoshop, however Photoshop can be limited. So, it would be a good idea to have Photoshop and Illustrator loaded in your workstation with Illustrator being the go-to application.

Lightroom 5 is not showing previous sucessfuly imported images and images are not identified as missing, there are no images shown in the library, how do I reconnect missing images?

lightroom 5 is not showing previous successfully imported images and images are not identified as missing, there are no images shown in the library, how do I reconnect missing images?

If the images are not identified as missing ... then you can't reconnect them
But I'm not really sure what is happening, as I don't understand your description of the problem, could you show us a screen capture? Or describe what appears on your screen in much more detail...

My photoshop CC has suddenly stopped importing images and twain imprt too

Hi I have a subscription to creative cloud. My photoshop cc has stopped importing images.
When I try to bring an imagin into a PS layer PS suddenly quits on me. I windows message
comes up saying PS will now close. What to do?
Upgrade to 2015 or reinstall? Or what...
Thanks,
Joe

Two things to try:
Reset Preferences Hold down Ctrl-Shift-Alt while starting Photoshop and say yes to the reset.
If that doesn't work, Uninstall/Clean/Reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner here. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
It will delete any corrupt files or registry errors that the uninstaller missed, and then you can re-install.

I want resize the image and set position after retrieving from oracle datab

How can I display image on web page after retrieving it from oracle database. Display is not problem but resize that image and position is very dificult .Please send me Guideline about blob object todisplay and resize it in web pages

I tried to do the suggetion made by you but I was not able to solve the issue. I think I am close to it and with your help I should be able to resolve it. Let me explain you the brief about this issue.
1. Another group uses Oracle Apex to load the images in to the database.
2. I am fetching this data fron Oracle and displays in to Webpage using PHP.
This is so far I tried. Please bear with me if I am doing anything wrong.
1.I created program.php which calls the <IMG> as suggested by you.Snippet of the code is
<div><img src="/oracle/image_story.php" alt="Image Stories" width="900" height="500" /></div>
2. In the image_story.php, I used the following code.
<?php
$query = "SELECT *
          FROM IMAGE_STORY WHERE image_id = 50";
if ($result = run_oracle($query, 'select')) { // Run the query.
     $num_results = count($result);
     if ($num_results > 0) {
     foreach($result as $row){
          $img = $row['DOCUMT']->load();
          header("Content-type: image/pjpeg");
          echo $img;
          //echo '<div><img src="'.$img.'" alt="Image Stories" width="900" height="500" /></div>';
?>
When I run the program.php,Image is not displayed and it is showing as "X". To troubleshoot the issue,I run the image_story.php and echo $img is giving me the weird character like,
"ÿØÿàJFIFddÿìDuckyPÿîAdobedÀÿÛ„
I used PL/SQL developer as a client to access the BLOB field from the database and in the HTML view, it is giving me the same output.
Select * from image_story a where a.image_id = 50
I am not sure the issue is with the MIME-TYPE,ENCODING or I am missing something here. I tried lot of Content-Type.
Please guide me.

After importing received and set messages from Opera Mail, Thunderbird works fine but does not save sent messages to Sent folder, even though messages are sent

I successfully imported messages from Opera Mail. Initially the Sent mailbox was not showing in Thunderbird. A quick removal and fresh installation solved that, but Thunderbird does not save the sent messages to the Sent box, where the imported Opera Mail messages are stored. Even though messages are not saved, they are sent correctly. The image attached shows the error message.

Probably a name-confuse If you store sent on mailserver it has to have the right name. (subscribe)
You could set up under Account settings / copies and folders (maps) Sent pointing to the right local folder.

Captured & imported image, and driver package not going to DP

I have an image I've imported and even though I've selected "Distribute Content" manually it does not go to DP. I checked everything I could think of (making sure DP was set to service the boundary group, etc.), but it still won't go.
In status, it says "in process".
Question - do I need image/properties/package share settings "copy the content in this package to a package share on distribution points" selected to enable this image to be sent to the DP?
Under Distribution Settings - do I need to select "Distribute the content for this package to a preferred DP..." and any recommendations on if this should be sent to Automatically, Download only changes, or Manual?
Similarly, I also noticed my Driver Package had also not been sent to the DP, so my question applies to that as well. After creation, do these settings need to be selected?
Thank you
Nathan

Hi,
The reason why this happens is a combination of the following two reasons:
- You enabled for prestaged content in the distribution point.
- Go to the properties of the image, on the "Distribution Settings" tab the radio button is set to "Manually copy this content to the distribution point".
Enabling the prestaging option on a DP will tell the DP to not receive content automatically. It is waiting until an administrator copied *.pkgx files manually to it and registers them using extractcontent.exe. That might be useful for DPs at the end of very
small WAN links.

Importing Images and iPad crashes

I am importing about 230 images from my Droid, which is being replaced Thursday by the iPhone 4, but I cant finish because the app crashes. Any ideas?

I had same problem with sd card reading onto my ipad using the camera connection kit. Photos from one camera would import ok but not from the other. I read on another forum where a guy solved it by changing the time format from 12 hour to 24 hour in ipad settings. My ipad was already set to 24 hour format so I did the opposite and switched it to 12 hour. This solved the problem and the couple of hundred photos imported straight away.
Maybe my two cameras are using different time formats, not certain as I haven't investigated further.
Hope this helps.

Import images and rearrange

I want to import a set of lets say 3 images. Among this 2 are of importaance and the third is not. The importance is determined based on the which image is the darkest. And the rest two images should be named as Image-1 and Image-2.
How can I achieve this ?

I have developed a VI that says which image is the lowes intensity among the 3 images in a given folder. How can I automatically delete that image from the folder and rename the other two as Image 1 and Image 2 ?

How to import images and keywords from Nikon PictureProject to LR2?

I have several thousand pictures that I have captured with my Nikon cameras (the present being a D300). I have imported those to my Mac (OS X) using the Nikon PictureProject software. This software has now been discontinued by Nikon, and I have switched to using Lightroom 2 instead. But when I try to import my photo library from Nikon PictureProject all the keywords describing the images are eliminated and I only get a date and number. This is obviously creating a big problem. Nikon has replied that they have no solution to propose! Has anyone else been exposed to the same difficulty? And has some creative person found a solution?
Thank you for your assistance!

Thank you for your help! My wife Marianne who has the problem has used PictureProject in a very special way. She has typed in the keywords on the line where PictureProject gives the basic information about the photo DCS3_7325 for example. Where DCS3 shows it is a digital Nikon camera D300 and the 7325 is the camera's (own I imagine) number for the original photo.
In front of this my wife has written the description of the photos e.g. "Paris bridges Pont Neuf". (And not in the place provided by PictureProject for keywords.)
It has been possible to search the photos by typing in the added words.
Do you think that this additional (not intended by PictureProject) information could be imported to Lightroom2?
Thank you for using your experience to see if this can be solved.

How does one import images and maintain the sorting order?

i'm trying to import 59 images (1024 x 768 png files) into keynote. i want them to create a series of image slides with 1 image/slide and keep them in the order i.e. sorted by image file name such as:
image001.png
image002.png
image003.png
and so on.
i've tried dragging and dropping these images onto the navigator sidebar but the images get out of order randomly.
has anyone encountered this? this seems like a bug.
thanks,
matt

hi marcus.
thanks for the suggestion.
while i have not tried your solution yet, i'll bet that it'll work and you're correct, it would be faster than rearranging the slides later. it drives me crazy that what i'm trying to do does not work out of the box. if there's one thing apple promotes in its apps its got to be drag and drop. that this does not yet work is nutty.
good luck,
matt

Importing images and event creation

Hi,
I'm using iPhoto 11 on my MacPro to import a folder of camera images from my Samsung Galaxy (booo! ) that's ive copied to my desktop.
For some reason, iPhoto won't split the shots into events but creates one event with these images giving them the date; 11 Oct 2012 - 3 Jan 2013 ??
I've checked iPhoto prefs and 'Autosplit into events - One per day' is on!?
Is there something i'm missing here? Is it because I'm bringing in some shots from a rival phone??
Would appreciate any advice please.
Tony.

But if the images are timestamped and they are otherwise, iPhoto wouldn't acknowledge that the time spread of the shots is from Oct to Jan, why doesn't it split them?
Huh?
It doesn't split folders imported from the Finder. Many people prefer this. For those who don't, then yes there is the terribly ardous task of selecting the Event then pushing the enormously heavy cursor all the way to the top of the screen, clicking on the menu and then clicking on the command. It's very difficult, I know.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and tell them your concerns.
Either i'm doing something wrong or this is another example of how Apple is dumbing down it's software.
A $15 app that does full lossless processing, raw support, publishing and sharing, managing and slideshows and books cards, facial recognition and location tracking too. Wish every software was as dumb.

Flash CS5 / CS5.5 crashes when importing images, and all of the time

Hi.
I started working on an animation file in Flash recently. It was ok at first, but now it crashes all of the time. It crashes almost 100% of the time when I try to import a sequence of jpegs, but it also seems to crash for no reason at all - when I click on a frame in the timeline, or when I move forward/back through frames on the timeline.
This happened when I was using CS5, so I installed my upgrade copy of 5.5, and that didn't help. I upgraded my computer from 32bit XP to 64bit Window7. I'm now running a fresh install of CS5.5 on a fresh install of Windows 7. It still crashes exactly the same.
I got an error log when I installed the programs. I don't know if it is related. It looks like this:

Hi Tobymare,
5.1.1 is the highest iOS that an iPad 1 can run. If the iPad is crashing, try a reset (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if the crashing issue is resolved.
Cheers,
GB
