Importing titles from LiveType

When I import a title generated from LiveType, it has to be rendered in Final Cut Express HD. After rendering, the type is pixelated both in the preview and the final DVD. Any ideas whey a .mov file from LiveType needs to be rendered in FCEHD and or why it ends up pixelated in the final DVD?

If you are working with DV footage in your Timeline in FCE, your LT settings should be set for DV 3:2
For me, I don't bother exporting LT titles as movies. I create them, save them as a project file and import that into FCE. Yes, I need to render it then but if I need to make changes to it, I just use the Open in Editor function which will open LT right in the Timeline; I make my changes, Save and bingo, reflected in the Timeline. Yes, I need to re-render, but this gives me excellent quality and if I drop the title on a Video track above my clip, I have perfect superimposition

FCE Titles from LiveType

Here is the basic issue: I want to get titles from LiveType into FCE.
I have created a rather complex presentation in FCE, it is a promotional video. Now I want to put people's names in. Here is what I have done:
1) in FCE, I exported the complete project "For LiveType"
2) In LT, I made the FCE project the background and I have put all of the right titles where I want them
3) I want to move the LT project into the FCE one so that I can have sound.
I can't figure it our nor can I find the answer in either the FCE or LT manuals. Each time I do something it just gets more and more messed up and rendering takes an hour before I know that what I did didn't work.
What do I need to do?

How long is the video project? If you're making lower thirds it's usually done by making separate projects for each person rather than one large project that runs the length of the video. It would require rendering the entire video project in FCE. If you really do want to do it the why you want make the background layer active in LT. You can do this by either moving the video layer above the background bar, or by turning on the background in the project properties. It will require re-rendering everything when the project is laid back in FCE.

Exporting animated titles from LiveType to be used in DVDSP

Here is my question: I have made an animated title in LiveType. I saved it as an .ipr file. I opened up DVDSP and imported into DVDSP. I dragged it over the canvas and waited for the menu to appear that says "create button.". I dropped it in there and it made a button. Here is the dilemma.
The type is a little distorted and when I go to change the button states to different colors, it does not work.
What am I doing wrong? I want the button to start off yellow, then when you put your mouse over it (or remote control) it should turn red. Why can't I accomplish this? What am I doing wrong? Is tere a setting I am missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

titles like that are done via photoshop or after effects with layers.
I have done a few myself, but not often, so I have forgetten how it is done, but I have done it.
just too much darn work for very little.

When I try to import songs from a CD into iTunes it can't find the titles online. This wasn't a problem previously, now it is. There is nothing wrong with my internet. Any solutions? Help says try again later but no luck there.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Import Photos from DVD - Reference to Original DVD Title?

i installed the trial version of Lightroom 2.0 and tested it out putting a DVD in.. it imported all the thumbnails fine... but when you take out the DVD after its done cataloging all the icons, the program doesn't tell you the name of the DVD that the photo folders belong to... it just gives a message referring to the fact that the "image is not available" when you click on an icon... which makes sense of course because the DVD isn't there, but... there's no indication like "please insert DVD labeled "PhotoDVD090" or whatever ...
I looked through the preferences to see if there was a way of turning on a feature that would be able to prompt me to put in the correct DVD when a particular thumbnail was clicked... this, I believe would be an invaluable and time saving tool for those of us with tons of off-line media.

Thanks for the reply.. I appreciate it much. I know what you're trying to say but I have searched for a program that will import photos from a DVD, remember it by serial number (of the physical media), allow you to type in a DVD name or use the one originally provided when you burned the DVD, then store all thumbnails on the computer, remove the DVD, still have the thumbnails on the computer permanently and when you click a thumbnail, if the appropriate DVD is not in the drive it will prompt you for the title of the DVD..
simple simple simple... The fact that Lightroom doesn't have such a feature has prompted me to remove it completely from my system..
the fact that ACDsee Photo Manager 10 DOES have this feature, and costs a mere $29.99 has prompted me to get it instead.. it works like a dream... you can browse all your images, search by any criteria imaginable.. and then when you find the image you wish to work on.. a double click will pop of a box saying please insert such and such a dvd... you put in the DVD then click edit and up it pops in photoshop (or whatever other editing software you specify).. magic... Lightroom really needs to address this lacking option.

Most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter

most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter the title in iPhoto. why the inconsistency? running OS 10.9.5 and using iPhoto 9.5.1

Try this: select one of the photos that are showing the wrong title and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to File Name menu option.
See if that will put the name that you want under the thumbnail.

Import titles, data from iPhoto

According to the information for Organizer 10, there is an option to import titles, faces, etc. when importing from iPhoto. It shows a menu with several selectable options. However, when I select import from iPhoto all I get in a dialog box is that it will attempt to import from iPhoto default folder. I've only downloaded Elements as a trial-is this the problem or am I missing a step somewhere?

Sorry, but I only have more question....I purchased elements 10 and am having the same problem. I bought a manual by Philip Andrews which (on page 34) shows a dialog box with options to import from iphoto as "events"...that dialog box is not showing up. I too am getting the message that it will attempt to import from the iPhoto default folder...then all the photos come in a jumbled mess. Anyone out there with an answer? Would love to find Philip Andrews for an explanation.

Is it possible to import a title from Premiere Pro into AfterEffects?

Thank you,

You can render the title out of Premiere Pro as a movie and bring it into After Effects as a video file. Titles aren't automatically converted when you copy and paste from Premiere Pro to After Effects or use Dynamic Link to send something to After Effects.

Downloaded Firefox, imported bookmarks from IE, bookmark titles are correct but the addresses are wrong

I downloaded the current version of Firefox. Then I imported my bookmarks from IE. All the bookmarks appear to be there but the addresses for the listed bookmarks do not match the listing. Th address are from the IE bookmark list but are mixed up and do not match the description. Example: I click on the bookmark for Chase Visa and I am sent to the Dell Computer site. I have tried to uninstall Firefox and re-install but the same thing happens

It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...

I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

How do i import photos from iphone to windows pc without the autoplay

My phone doesnt have space anymore for me to upgrade IOS7 and would really appreacite if someone could help. i have to import pictures to my computer and somehow that autoplay option is not coming on and also the phone is not showling under the removable options.

Hello Lady MC,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. It sounds like you are trying to import photos from your iPhone, but the AutoPlay dialogue box doesn't automatically appear.
You may need to enable AutoPlay on your computer:
Connect your iOS device to the computer. If the AutoPlay window appears, click "Import Pictures and Videos using Windows", then skip to step 4. If the "Import Pictures and Video" dialog appears, skip to step 4.
Note: If the AutoPlay dialog box does not automatically open, you may need to enable the behavior.
That excerpt is from the section titled "If you have a Windows Vista or Windows 7 PC" in the following article:

If your iPhone is not appearing as a connected device at all, I recommend reviewing the following article:

What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?

I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
Thanks in advance.

I only see Share > Export.
Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
I do not want to import pictures one by one...
You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
...and stick them together manually.
Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question.

The best way to import photos from Picasa to iPhoto

Hi,
Many of my friends share their pictures online using picasa. Sometimes, I'd like to copy these pictures to keep a backup offline. As a software, I use iPhoto; not picasa. What is the best way to import pictures from picasa to iPhoto?
I first tried to subscribe to the RSS feed using iPhoto and then copy the pictures from there to my library, but then the dates of the pictures are set wrong: instead of indicating when the picture was shot, it indicates some other date (I guess it indicates the date when the picture was uploaded to picasa).
Then I decided to install the software picasa.app. From the webalbum of my friends, I could download the pictures directly to picasa.app. Then I exported them to the desktop, and from there imported them to iPhoto. The dates where set correctly, but I lost all the titles and comments of the pictures.
Do you have any method to download the pictures while keeping both the dates and the titles correctly?
Thanx!

There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
Just a couple of things to know:
1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
Hope that helps!

Brilliant way to create titles from text files

It was just pointed out to me by a fellow named Greg Hester that there is a way to create titles from a Microsoft Word file using Adobe InDesign. You can create as many titles as you need, and even change text positions around from title to title. Then you export as a PNG.
If you need to go back and change a color or a font type or size or whatever, you can do that to all of them at once and then just export again. They will automatically update in Premiere Pro.
I have never even opened InDesign before, and I was able to follow the instructions in this tutorial without a strain.
The tutorial doesn't show that you can import a frame capture from the video to help position the text, but you can.
This is very cool. If you subscribe to the Creative Cloud, then you have access to InDesign.

Best would be to have this template/style functionality in the title tool itself though
Agreed.
Remember, all this InDesign thing does is create images that can be used as titles. My Macro created actual titles.
What really needs to happen is to have a plugin that creates titles from simple text files like the ones created from Notepad, so no Microsoft program is required. The file could have the text, the font style, and many other parameters, and then it could have the time to place the title on the sequence.
But in the meantime, this InDesign thing seems to be the best we can do for now. If, however, you want to use a fancy font style and it will all be in English, you can use my macro.
