Importing .gif file into Pages - problem with transparency

Hi Apple Forum,
First-timer (on the forum) here. I tried importing a .gif image (with alpha channel) into a pages document. The image was imported, but it's not transparent. In other words, the alpha channel isn't working. The problem is NOT with the opacity button, in case some one wants to suggest that as a solution. Has anyone had this issue before?

Hi Scrambled_Eggs
Welcome to the forum.
Resave them as .png from Preview app.

Importing m2ts files but having problems with the audio layer

Hi all, I'm new to the whole video editing side of things and so would appreciate some help.
I've just bought myself a Canon HF200 HD camcorder, and a Sony Vaio notebook which came with Premiere Elements 7.0 pre-installed.
For the last month I've been shooting footage, and just getting down to trying to edit everything and put a DVD together.
The problem I have at the moment (and I've just started using the program, so everything is new to me) is that while I seem to be able to import the m2ts file format that my Canon records, only the video is imported into Premiere - not the audio.
I can play all my videos in Windows Media Player just fine, with both video and audio. So it seems my machine is able to read the files correctly in this program. However, the audio seems to drop out when I import the file into Premiere. The program was pre-installed in my machine, and when I go in to have a look at the audio settings, there doesn't seem to be an ability to change the settings to something different.
So far I've spent a long time googling and trying to find a solution, but with no joy just yet.
Appreciate any assistance the anyone can offer.
Thanks.
Jeff

Hi there
I think I sorted it. If you look at the Premiere Pro forum, on the right is a box with a link to "Forum Best Practices".
Click the image below for larger view.
Being a good first time poster, you read that. But the problem is, it places you inside the Forum Comments forum. So when you choose to Create a Discussion, you aren't creating the discussion in the Premiere Pro forum. Instead, you are creating it in the Forum Comments forum.
Looks like perhaps a forum mod needs to work on this and create a duplicate thread in the forums in question.
Cheers... Rick

I use the following code:
myText.Place("C:\Development\memoTest Assignments\temp.docx"), the doc file will become

You can't use Ctrl V you have to click the camera Icon then browse to the image file and click insert image.

How to import javascript files in page template?

Hi,
How can I import .js files into page template, so I can access its methods in each page that is built using that template? I have tried with <script> inside <f:verbatim> but didn't have much success. When I run a page that has a template with .js file imported in that way, I always get "report not found" error, or something similar (report is the name of the javascript method in imported file).
Pedja

Pedja,
The following works as well (assuming "/faces/" is part to the url):
<script src="../scripts/utilScripts.js"
type="text/javascript"> </script>Although, I prefer the use of your solution.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Below example using External Table Feature.
create a directory on the server where your database is installed and copy your data file(text file) in that directory. In the below example Oracle directory name is "text_file" and the physical directory on the server is "D:\TEXT_FILE\". The file name of data file is "data.txt".
create directory text_file as 'D:\TEXT_FILE\';
DROP TABLE load_a;
CREATE TABLE load_a
(a1 varchar2(20),
a2 varchar2(200))
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY text_file
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LOCATION ('data.txt')
select * from load_a;
now you can use
insert into a select * from load_a;

Problem importing ics files into iCal

Importing ics files into iCal is the problem, but first here is the background on why I'm trying to import.
I have an iMac and iPad, and recently changed my iPhone 3G for an iPhone 4S. Having got the iPhone 4S I have now set up all my devices to use iCloud. In moving iCal to iCloud an extra calendar was created "automatically" in iCal, called "Me". This "Me" calendar contains a partial duplicate of my main calendar, which is called "My Calendar". In fact, some of the events from "My Calendar" seem to have been moved to "Me", and some have been duplicated.
It seems as it I now need to merge the "Me" and "My calendar" calendars to get back to where I was.
I have tried to export one of the calendars and then re-import it into the other. The export seems to work fine, but every single time I try to re-import the ics file iCal crashes at the end of the import process, and the import is not completed.
Can anyone help? This has been driving me absolutely crazy today!
I even tried manually moving events from one calendar to another, but they reappeared. I think this was because my iPhone/iPad were re-syncing via iCloud and overwriting the changes I had just made.
I don't mind if I end up with one calendar with duplicates as I can remove them with iCal Dupe Deleter.
Or if there are any other alternative solutions I'd love to hear them!
All help greatly appreciated!
(P.S. Is it just me, or is Apple software slowly getting as unreliable as Windows used to be? I get more problems with software updates now than when I first got a Mac about 8 years ago!)

Not a great answer but I dragged the attachment either to the finder - app - ical or the icon. It placed it on the calendar. I clicked in and accepted. So, no auto populate. Need to drag and drop. So glad I paid the 20 bucks to upgrade to 10.8

Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.

Problem importing video files into slideshow in Photoshop Elements 9

I am able to import the files into my slideshow, but it won't let me save it. It reports an error in saving. Help!

When converting the videos try decreasing the bitrate or changing the file type (perhaps to the iPod native .m4v)
Other than that, you could try a different encoder, like iSquint (isquint.org). It's the one that I use and I even have a QT Pro license.

Importing gif file to ImageIcon

Hi,
I am trying to use a gif file that I have included in my project (using Windows XP). I am trying to stick the image from the gif file into a ImageIcon variable, and sticking the variable into a label. Here is the code that I am using to have the program access the gif file:
private ImageIcon redX = new ImageIcon( " \\JAVA programs\\Week 8\\lab8_1a\\redshd.gif " );
I have a classPath setup in my environment variables/system variables as follows:
.;C:\Documents and Settings\Jim Roth\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Programs
and the path to the gif file is as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jim Roth\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Programs\JAVA programs\Week 8\Lab8_1A\redshd.gif
When I run the program, the screen comes up empty. I am using a basic frame, with a GridLayout. When I change the input into the label to a string, it shows up on the label when the program runs.
In debug mode, I am not quite sure of what the values apply to, but oneonf them shows up as 'null'.
I think my problem lies with the program just not finding the gif.file. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
Jimbo

OK, here is the program.....it is my very first stab at anything gui. We are supposed to display a tic tac toe grid, and have it randomly put x's and o's (or something simiilar) in a3x3 grid in a random fashion. Here it is:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TicTacToe extends JFrame
private ImageIcon redX = new ImageIcon("\\JAVA programs\\Week 8\\lab8_1a\\redshd.gif");
private ImageIcon blueCirc = new ImageIcon("\\JAVA programs\\Week 8\\lab8_1a\\qmark.gif");
/** Default constructor for TicTacToe */
public TicTacToe()
setLayout(new GridLayout(3,3,2,2));//sets grid layout for a 3x3 grid with 2 pixel spacing
//add 9 JLabels to hold image icons
for(int i =0; i < 10; ++i)
add(this.generateJLabel());
public static void main(String[] args)
TicTacToe game = new TicTacToe();
game.setTitle("Tic Tac Toe");
game.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
game.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
game.setSize(250, 250);
game.setVisible(true);
protected JLabel generateJLabel()
Random rand = new Random();//instantiate random object to generate ints
int randNum = rand.nextInt(4);//generate ints between 0 and 4 (exclusive)
/*The following switch statement looks at random number generated by the Random
object and assigns an image to a JLabel according to the int returned./
switch (randNum)
case 1:
JLabel temp = new JLabel(this.redX);
return temp;
case 2:
JLabel temp1 = new JLabel(this.blueCirc);
return temp1;
default:
JLabel temp2 = new JLabel();
return temp2;
}

Can no longer import Word files into InDesign

Hello,
For many months I have been importing Word files into InDesign CS3 (Mac OSX 10.4.11) with no trouble, but I started having a problem yesterday.
When importing a 17-page Word file with 16 footnotes, I got none of the text and only the footnote numbers. This is what I get in InDesign:
12345678910111213141516
(Endnotes)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
These are the things I've tried already: restarting, deleting preferences, changing the import options, using CS2, importing someone else's Word file, importing a Word file that I imported successfully a couple of months ago. None of this works.
It has been suggested that I save the Word file as rtf, but since I have 200 files to import and I'm using Word's character styles for italics, bold, small caps, etc., I'd rather try to fix this problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks,
Tina

I am using indesign CS2 and i'm trying to import a Word document into a new chapter for a book i'm laying out. it's about 30 pages, but there are at least 80 foot notes. i'm able to get about 1/2 of the document with the footnotes to flow correctly, then EVERYTHING disappears. the only way i've been able to get the remaining text to appear is by adding characters to the text. i'll hit "vvvvvvvvvvvv" a bunch of times and "magically" a little chunk of text and it's footnotes appears. then the ole disappearing act happens. so i do it again. i'm able to get all the text to appear finally, but when i delete the "vvvvvvvvvv" from the places i inserted them, the text disappears again. i have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it. any ideas?
thanks so much,
travis

Cannot import PDF files into iPhoto 4.0.3

Is it possible to import PDF files into iPhoto 4.0.3? I can't drag and drop them into iphoto folders without the "Unreadable Files" error. I have tried importing them through the iPhoto menu and still get the same results. I have tried importing the PDF files from several places such as my desktop because I wondered if the location of the original made a difference, but that doesn't seem to help. I didn't find anything when I searched for this problem here in the forum so I wondered if anyone else is having the same problems.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Morgan

No because I had iPhoto 4 open and tried to run the Save PDF to iPhoto on a book in that library. I think it's just the different data structure, etc.. It's just not compatible with Automator or at least that particular workflow. I tried printing to PDF from V4 and then do the Save to iPhoto from Preview with V4 open and I still get the error message. So iPhoto 4 is just not compatible with that workflow.
A workaround is to create a PDF file of the whole book and then manually save each page as a jpg file and import those. That's what I did for my first book. You could do a screen shot of each page in the preview mode and use those but the resolution will be limited to screen resolution, 72dip. You will get resolutions on the order of 150-200 dpi thru the Save As route in Preview or the Save to iPhoto automator method.
I'm sure you could create an Automator workflow that would take the PDF file and save each page as a jpg file and name it sequentially. I'll have to take a closer look at Automator soon.

Can you import Dreamweaver files into Muse, how?

Can you import Dreamweaver files into Muse, how?

If the images aren't showing up in DW, why do you think they will show in Muse? Obviously, something is wrong with the paths to those images. And that will most likely be due to the underlying code.
Can you post an example of a problem page?
