Importing illustrator elements

I am trying to import a few illustrator elements into a flash
document but when I do, the graphics lose their opacity masks. Any
suggestions?

The checkerboard is just a way for you to be able to tell a transparent area. It doesn't print. Without something like that you wouldn't be able to tell a solid white area from an empty area.

How to import multiple elements into the same line in structure Framemaker (i.e. no carriage return between elements).

I have a successful import process going now (DTD, EDD, ReadWriteRules, and Template) that imports a number of elements, but each onto a separate line. I now need to import three elements in a row on a single line. How do I set up to do that?

Dear Wild,
A container element a structured document can either be a paragraph element, that contains one or more complete FrameMaker paragraphs (elements corresponding to chapters, titles, and list items, for instance, are typically paragraph elements), or a text range element, with content that comprises part of a paragraph. An EDD doesn't need to identify paragraph elements since containers are paragraphs by default. You make an element a text range with a text format rule that specifies TextRangeFormatting.
In your case, if you have a wrapper element that contains the three elements you want to appear on a single line, in the EDD, add a text format rule for the three inline elements that specifies TextRangeFormatting; specify the formatting of the overall paragraph in the element definition for the wrapper. If you don't have a wrapper, though, the overall paragraph will inherit formatting from whatever the containing element is; the containing element may be the document's root element or a major division such as a chapter or section. If that element's formatting is not what you want here, you can leave the "inline" elements as separate paragraph so that you can specify their formatting, but make the first two run-in heads (which is done in the Placement property of the pagination properties).

Import From Elements - where did it go

I noticed that the Michael Tapes 'Import' video showed an 'Import From Elements' menu item on the file menu. I have the 4.1 beta installed and this item does not appear in the file menu. Where did it go or is there another way to import a PSE catalog straight into LR.
Here is the video site:
http://pictureflow.fileburst.com/_Tutorials/Photoshop_LR/01/index.html

I'm hoping that this whole process is unnecessary. By seeing the "Import from Elements" option, I am currently hoping/assuming that this means it will import the actual PSE Organizer catalog into LR. PSE Organizer uses .psa files for each catalog. I am hoping that by selecting the "Import from Elements" options, LR will take your .psa file (Photoshop Elements Organizer Catalog) and convert it into a .aglib file (Lightroom Library). The tags, categories and subcategories should be converted to the Lightroom equivalent of keywords, parent keywords, and child keywords (or whatever they're called in LR). In doing this, there should be no preparation of anything in PSE Organizer. If I'm understanding what Susan just said she did, it seems that the actions you just took Susan by making everything a category just took away all hierarchical tags (or parent/child information), for their is no heirarchy in the IPTC keywords fields, unless I'm mistaken.
Once again, I'm assuming this is how it will work and I hope I'm right . . . any other way just doesn't seem to make any sense. The "Import from Elements" option would not be needed if you've already embedded all of your tags into the files (or made all of your tags into categories and embedded that). If that information is already embedded in the file, then just import the files through the typical import dialog and it will find that information. There is no need to worry about the catalog or the "Import from Elements" command at all. My hope is that I don't need to do this and I can just convert the catalog on the fly (much like when you upgrade from say PSE Organizer version 3 to PSE Organizer version 5). Regardless, I will wait until LR is released before I take any steps to start the conversion process. I don't want to compomise something that I've spent years creating and works great already because I'm guessing or assuming how something may or may not work. I guess we shall all know soon enough (or even sooner if a final release tester can confirm this in any way).

Importing Illustrator with effects into flash

I was curious if there is a way to import Illustrator files seamlessly into flash. My project in Illustrator has a lot of effects like drop shadows
here is what the file looks like: http://adjustreality.com/uploads/mando.jpg
so as you can see it is pretty complex. I want to import as much as I can in vector so that it saves on load time since i already built it in vectors. is it possible to import most of it in vector then just rastor the stuff that might not translate like gaussian blur etc?

answered my own question, I just pasted it in and it asked to use some illustrator import tool, works perfect.

How importing illustrator CS4(or 5) gradients into InDesign CS5?

How importing illustrator CS4(or 5) gradients into InDesign CS5?
Many gradients for illustrator we can download in Internet, but nothing for InDesign ...
( Way, where copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) no work in this products, when gradient selected - button "Copy" - off )
I try create ASE file, but his only for Colors, without beautiful gradient...
What i must do?

Thanks, copy to clipboard - it's working,
but why developers not create "Simple converter" in InDesign
Menu -> Load Swatches, what will get swatches in *.ai (or other) files??

How to import Illustrator files in DW?

Hi there,
How do you import Illustrator file as a background image in
DW. I've tried Save for web in Illustrator, but the DW is not
recognising the files. I saved as .svg in Illustrator, and yet
again no joy with DW.
Many thanks

You would have to save the image as a JPG or GIF image and
then you can
place it in DW, using CSS.

Importing Illustrator and Photoshop files to Premiere Pro CS4 (without rastering)

Hello,
I've made some economics graphs in illustrator that i'm importing into premiere.
Premiere pro cs4 doesn't import illustrator files as layers, just a single image.
I exported from illustrator to save as a .psd to maintain the layers.
I then imported the .psd into premiere which created a folder with all the .psd layers.
I dragged the .psd layers onto the timeline so I could animate them with dissolves, but noticed they became pixelated.
I rendered the layers and they still looked pixelated, even after export they were pixelated.
From what I understand, illustrator files become rasterised when you export as .psd.
Is there any way of maintaining the crisp vector graphics created in illustrator when importing into premiere?
Can I avoid rastering the files?
Thank for your help in advance
Kind Regards
Ant

Thanks for your reply and welcome to the forum.
I wondered why premiere was doing such a bad job of anti-aliasing...it turns out that all the .psd files were imported as square pixels instead of rectangular so I right clicked and selected interpret footage, then selected conform to DV PAL1.45.
I assumed that as I set up the original Illustrator document as a video document (720x576) it would maintain the aspect ratio.
Somewhere between exporting to .psd then to premiere the aspect ration somehow changed?
I've found a great tutorial that appears to have a better workflow than the method I was using, by first creating a template in premiere, which can be exported directly to photoshop, maintaing the correct aspect ratio. It means i'll have to draw up the graphs in Photoshop now instead of Illustrator.

Trouble Importing Illustrator/PDF/Vector File

I was working on a composition within After Effects and I was having no issues importing Illustrator files. Suddenly it started importing them as something weird? I'm sure I accidentally hit something to change the settings but I can't figure it out. Here's a screen shot of my imported files on the left. The top two on the were suppose to be like the rest of the Illustrator files below them.
Here's a link to my screen shot, notice how it's saying it's a Vector Art Sequence now and not just Vector Art. It's only putting it on about 10 frames when I drop it in the comp and it's pulling random info from my other files.
Any help would be appreciated.

But you must somehow have enabled sequence import... This is not coming out of nowhere, so please double check again. Also simply consider naming your files differently from jut numbering thme sequentially to break out of this cycle. If it is truly a bug in the format handling (which I doubt), that would be pretty much the only option, anyway.

How to resolve Error: "xsl:import" XSL Element Currently not Supported

Hello Everyone,
I have a xsl in my process to perform transformation of source schema to target schema.
This xsl is importing another xsl.
I am using <xsl:import> for this purpose.
But when I try to see the "design" editor I am getting the error given below:
Error: "xsl:import" XSL Element Currently not Supported
In "source" editor JDeveloper is giving no error.
I request you all to please come forward for the rescue ;-)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shanty

I think the error message is telling you that the visual design surface that simplifies creating transforms doesn't support the <xsl:import>. If you need to use <xsl:import>, and assuming that <xsl:include> (which is quite similar to import) is also not supported, then the only other option is working on the XSLT stylesheet in the source editor.

Just a few quirks on Import from Elements and Keywords.

The Import from Elements seems like a good idea but the implementation is a little 'hit and miss'.
Tags in Elements (the Keywords) are not always picked up in LR. I can't work out what works and what doesn't but some Tags and the Tag Hierarchy come over correctly and some don't.
Version sets from Elements seem to be ignored. I suspects Stacks will as well.
Also I'm finding the use of Keywords a little restrictive in LR now that I have to sort out my imported images.
1. I'd like to be able to delete an Image when I have selected it by keyword - (yes Sid did provide a work around, thanks) but it really should just be a question of hitting delete.
2. I'd like to be able to stack images when I have selected them by keyword. You can't do this unless you go to Folder View or All Photographs.
I kind of get the impression that the way in LR works is great if you are going forward from a clean install. That is downloading images, reviewing, culling and organising. However, if you have an existing database to straighten out, then LR needs a little bit of polish to make this process easier.

#2 is about the only one I can offer any advice on. First of all, I'd go to Download -> Multimedia -> TV@nywhere Master and make sure that I had the latest version of the TV@nywhere Master Driver and MSI Radio.
Secondly, you could probably silence MSI Radio by opening the Windows volume control (or whatever it's called in your version of windows) and muting whatever input you're using to feed sound from the TV@nywhere Master to your sound card. On my system MSI Radio will actually un-mute Line In when I run it and re-mute when I exit.
Thirdly, when MSI Radio does misbehave and not shut up on exit, I can usually get it to hush by running and then exiting MSI PVS aka WinDVR.
Fourthly, I've noticed that my MSI Radio only fails to shut up if I click the Settings button while it is running. Once I get the settings set, it doesn't give my any more problems as long as I can resist doublechecking my settings.
Correction: one problem. It always mutes my master recording balance when it runs, meaning that anything I record with MSI Radio or PVS will be nothing but silence. I have no idea what that's about.

BUG: import from elements leads to broken directory structure

I want to migrate from Elements 4 to Lightroom.
When I start the "Import from elements" function in Lightroom the original folder structure is not presented correctly.
I'm sorry, but my directory structure in Elements is not homogeneous. Most directories are like \YEAR\SUBDIR\SUBSUBDIR\imagefile_n but some directories are nested deeper.
This confuses the "Import from elements" function in Lightroom. Most lowlevel directories are moved to toplevel, but some (!!!) directories are presented with the correct parent directories (full path).
I choose "Copy Photos To A New Location And Import" and "By Original Folders". Afterwards the original folder structure is NOT preserved correctly (as described above).
This malfunction can be reproduced at the Windows version.
When I use "Import from Filesystem" instead of "Import from Elements" the directory structure is preserved correctly.

Okay, found my own answer, finally. Ran across a posting including this line:
You can test that the catalog copy is ok by double clicking (or the Mac equivalent) on the file : catalog.pse10db. That should open the organizer with the catalog copy.
which gave me the idea to find that catalog.pse10db file. Found it, double clicked on it, and the organizer came up with all of our pictures, albums, etc. and has apparently decided that this is what we want *smile*.
So all's well that ends well.

Preimere Elements 10 - Organizer "Import to Elements Organizer" Not Working...

APE v10
Windows 7
No Keyword Tags are added.
No star ratings are added.
Nothing has been manually added that is used to filter files from view.
1. Import .mts files to organizer, all files import fine.
2. Next time you open the folder (after closing Organizer and reopening) most of the time, not all videos show up now.
Try to reimport. Nothing new is added.
(Yes, I can confirm ther are 10 files, but only 3 are imported.)
3. Clicking the "Show All" button has no affect.
4. Renaming the folder in Windows Explorer, then Open Organizer, all videos are reimported.
The "Import to Elements Organizer" doesn't refresh files that don't show up in the view.

How did those MTS files get into your computer in the first place? And are they are on your C or main drive or on a second or external drive?
I always recommend opening a Premiere Elements project using the proper settings for that camcorder and then using the Get Media tool to open the capture tool or Video Importer.
This often activates components for working with and viewing that video that aren't otherwise activated.
And, of course, make sure you also have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

FR: Constant rasterization of titles and imported Illustrator files?

The option to constantly rasterize Illustrator files in AE is great (titles always constantly rasterize in AE). Would it be possible to have this option in Premiere?
For example, I create a title. In the ECW, I animate the size of the title from 100% to 200%, but it gets blurry. It would be nice if the text could remain crisp, just like it does in AE. Ditto for resized Illustrator files.
Does anyone have any insight into why Premiere doesn't or perhaps even can't have this? If it's possible, it sure would be nice to have, along with the ability to scale assets to any size, beyond the current 600% limit, which AE doesn't have of course.
Thanks!

Here's my official FR for others to use as reference or copy/paste and send to Adobe:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Constant Rasterization of Titles and Imported Illustrator/Vector files
How would you like the feature to work?
Titles and imported Illustrator/vector files should remain crisp when sized above 100% the same way they do in After Effects when constant rasterization is turned on.
Why is this feature important to you?
Crisp titles and graphics look good. Pixelated soft mushiness does not. Allowing text and vector artwork to look good at any scale only makes sense, and would save users from having to resort to AE/Illustrator to solve this shortcoming in Premiere (or put up with soft graphics when AE/Illustrator aren't available).

How do I prevent imported Illustrator files from have the jaggies in Flash.

My imported illustrator files have straight angled pipe lines and these have the jaggies when exported from Flash to Premiere or QT.
I have imported them as both vector and bitmap with no success. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a Mac running 10.8.2 and using Flash CS5.5.

Here is a list of caveats from Adobe concerning Flash & Illustrator vector art.

Cannot import Illustrator files - crash to desktop

Hello:
I've been experimenting with the Catalyst beta at work, but it seems I cannot import Illustrator files (yet phototshop files are fine). What happens is the following:
1) Click "From Adobe Illustrator AI File..." link on the start screen.
2) Choose an AI file in the file selector (I used the one found at http://www.insideria.com/2009/06/flash-catalyst-beta-1-top-bran.html)
3) Catalyst begins the process and shows a progress bar, but then immediately crashes to desktop without warning.
I've tried several other AI files, but the results are the same. Is anyone else having this problem?
System specs (if it matters) are:
Windows XP SP2
Professional x64 Edition
Intel core 2 Duo
2.33GHz, 3.93 GB of RAM

Ok, this is going to sound strange, but here's what happened:
1) I went to the Catalyst directory to retrieve the log file you mentioned. It seems I had generated about nineteen or so of these logs. I've gone ahead and attached them to this post.
2) I deleted all of these logs out of my Catalyst directory.
3) I went back and performed the above steps, and it worked! I even tried another AI file, and it imported successfully.
The only thing that has changed since yesterday is the fact that I deleted these logs. I'm baffled...
