"Include transparency" on export to QT?

Okay, what does this mean, anyway?
When exporting a Keynote show to QuickTime, one of the options is to "include transparency". What does that mean? What gets identified as "transparent"?
--Dave Althoff, Jr.

If you set your slide backgrounds to NONE, they'll look black, but they'll export transparent (meaning the background layer will be completely transparent). Probably not something you'd do with photo cutout slides as those don't use the background, their "background" is an image sitting on the slide.
The only trick is, you have to override the standard settings in the QT export and choose Animation as the codec and you MUST choose Millions+ as the amount of colors, or it won't work.
the cool thing is you can make transparent movies of say, titles flying in, and then bring them BACK into Keynote and they'll be transparent (or you can use them in Final Cut Pro or other video apps that have tracks).

Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?

Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?
Since starting with Lightroom 1, I've entered keywords into either of the two fields between "keyword tags" and "keyword suggestions" in the keywording panel. I was unaware that some keywords are more equal than others, or that Lightroom offered (or has added?) hierarchy support.
I recently stumbled into the news (to me) that Lightroom tags can be organized into a hierarchy, so I exported my keywords to a text file to examine. I hadn't unwittingly created any hierarchies, but an astounding fraction of the keywords were within square brackets. Sure enough, if I export an image, keywords within square brackets are omitted from the output (jpeg) file. How nice. Since I began with Lightroom 1, I've added nearly 1600 keywords.. Too bad most of them are coded wrong... so as not to accompany output that I create.
1.     What was I supposed to do, as a photographer beginning to use Lightroom, to enter keywords simply but reliably: what I type is what I get? I'd expected that's what the "just type here" interface would provide.
I especially dislike obtaining erratic results: most keywords are in square brackets, but a few are not. Of course, when I use a simplified interface, I should expect not to have access to some of the options or features. However, I shouldn't inadvertently trigger undocumented behavior.
2.     Does the Adobe reference help system say how to enter keywords simply and reliably, in its documentation of the keywording panel? I don't find my answer under the Keywords topic, within Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog.
(I NOW realize that the instructions for the "Create/Edit keyword tags" dialog mention exporting. However, that's not the method I was using.)
Dick Rawson

I'm afraid that I distracted you with my background mention of hierarcharial keywords; I'm not asking about them.
I've entered keywords for several years of using Lightroom. Suddenly, this week, I find that most (yet not all) of them have the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata." I never intended to ask for that; I thought all keywords will stay with the file and its offspring, and that's what I wanted.
So I'm asking:
1.     What did I do "wrong" to induce Lightroom to give the keywords that attribute? I never intended to ask it to.
2.     Where does Adobe document how to enter keywords reliably so that they stay with the file on output? I can't find that Adobe does.
> Can you be more clear about keywords in square brackets? I know when you export the keywords as a list you can get a normalized data file that uses punctuation and tabs as delimiters...
I did export the keywords into such a list: most keywords in the plain-text list have square brackets surrounding them, indicating keywords that will be omitted from metadata of any image that Lightroom exports.
My concern is not that the brackets are there. They encode the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata," and recognizing that attribute concerns me.
> ...but I've never seen keywords in image files or in the interface rendered so.
I haven't, either.

Sub reports not included in CharacterSeparatedValues export

Our application allows users to export a report that includes several sub reports to any of the export formats that the .NET API exposes. The export works in every format except CharacterSeparatedValues. In this format the sub reports are not included in the exported file. Are there reasons why sub reports might not be included? It may be worth noting that the sub reports are in footer sections of the main report.
Run time Version: Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 FP3

Just to add a possible solution. E.g.; I do agree with Assavari.
It is often possible to create "a" report with no subreports that will do and look the same as a report with subreport(s). You may want to consider asking in the [SAP Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; re. how to modify your existing report so that it does not have subreports.

I am using Aperture V3 and have a caption included at the foot of each photo. I want this caption included when I export the photo to another device (eg iPad). Any ideas on how to do this would be appreciated.

I am using Aperture V3 and have a caption included at the foot of each photo. I want this caption included when I export the photo to another device (eg iPad). Any ideas on how to do this would be appreciated.

The "caption" is metadata. Metadata is included in most image-format files. How it is displayed is determined by the program you use to show the picture on the computer screen. You currently have Aperture set to "over-lay" the caption at the bottom of the Image.
What program are you using on your other devices to show the files?

Creating a PDF with transparency without exporting to PDF (Mac)

Hi
I need to created a PDF from InDesign that has unflattened (native) transparency without using the export PDF command ( because of the flaw seen here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/537751?tstart=0 )
I have tried exporting as an EPS and that flattens transparency and creating PS does as well.
Any other ideas, settings or applications/utilities to try?
Thanks
-Andrew

Thanks everyone that was what I thought.
Peter: If we knew when it was happening then we can fix it, unfortunately there is no indicator when it will happen. We get jobs from all over North America from all kinds of designers so it could happen on any job.
It is hard to say how many job it happens on as in most cases it wouldn't be noticed by the client as the amount is so small, and in some case it would happen in the bleed that gets trimmed.
So far we have noticed the issue when it happens in a critical situation and haven't had any spoils but it is just a matter of time.
We are going into Annual Reports soon as well as proffesional sport tickets both of which are critical clients.

How to include metronome in export?

Is there anyway to include the click in the mix when I export it to iTunes?
Also are there metronome functions...ie. how to make it louder or quieter...different kind of click sound.

You can not include the metronome, you'd have to record it with a microphone.

Not fully transparent when exported little white dots around images

I don't know if I should just copy from the illustrator file while in the program and paste into my indesign document directly or export as some other file. I've done the export as EPS before so I went with that. However my images that I drew in illustrator with a brush tool and colored are not full transparent. I see little white spots I don't know if that's because indesign shows them like that or are they actually there. I am combining images because I drew parts separately as opposed to drawing the whole scene together because I wanted to move certain characters/objects/scenery. My question is are the little white spots actually there or is that just that indesign displays it that way? I exported them with the default settings as EPS in illustrator with transparency. I didn't change any settings. Thank you in advance. Oh and I use illustrator cs5.1

so basically only PDF and AI files are able to hold transparency? or are there other formats? In that case what should be a good format for professional print when I have a logo or image that has transparent parts? (In illustrator that would be any part you haven't colored correct?) I've gotten EPS files though that have transparency. Or maybe I'm using transparency wrong I mean like for example you if I made a logo the edges of the logo would be clean but in my case it isn't. there are little white spots as if my background was filled with paintbucket tool in photoshop and removing it with the magic eraser tool from the white background I filled in. I don't mean transparency as in the opacity but as in the background being transparent. Sorry for the confusion!
Example:

Corners and overlaps in vector paths are transparent upon export

Hello,
I am tasked with using Illustrator and Flash to develop skins for Flex (CS3). I have managed to work through the process, but the when the paths on custom graphics are exported into Flex, corners and points of intersection where two paths or parts of the same path cross are transparent. For example, if I drew an X, there would be a clear spot at the intersection. If I drew a O, there would be a little clear spot where the points on the path overlapped. If I drew a Z, the corners on the letter will have clear spots .
The problem occurs in Flex, and then also persists in the various browsers. It happens on my Apple and on my Mac.
How do I prevent this? Is there some transformation I can do in Illustrator to prevent this?
Thank you for your help.

You can try a few things.
Use the 3-way color corrector in FCP to bring the white levels under 90%.
If all your text is on the same horizontal plane make sure it's on an even number
Add a .25 blur to the graphics
use the de-interlace filter

Extraneous html included in Report Export (csv) for Version 3.1

Hi, I'm not hopeful of anyone being able to resolve my problem, as none of my colleagues are experiencing it, which occurs in my application for all new reports that I have created since the upgrade to 3.1 (from 3.0).
I have many existing reports which utilise the Report Export facility and they still work as they should. However, for any new report created after the upgrade, the file created contains an html tag:
At the top of the first column: div id="report_1562114506105406_catch"
with the corresponding tag at the bottom of the column /div
Initially, I thought that the complexity of the report might have been relevant, but not at all. I have added report regions to existing pages with an SQL query of SELECT sysdate FROM dual
I deleted and restored an earlier version of the application, but the problem recurred. As I said, my colleagues cannot reproduce the issue (happily - for them!) and neither could I when I created a new application (using the same theme - Blue and Tan), but I still experienced the problem with my application working at a colleague's PC. Also, if I activate the Report Export for an existing report, the file created is fine, which seems to indicate the problem relates to the report creation rather than the Report Export facility.
Any suggestions gratefully received,
David

Additional info
Where previously I thought that the number included in the "_reportnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn_catch" was randomly generated, I have now found out that it is actually specified within the "Print URL" on the Print Attributes tab.
This doesn't seem to be any different to the other reports (that were created before the upgrade), but of course until now I had no reason to view the Print Attributes tab, so was unaware of this.

Transparent background - export to iMovie?

I'm pretty new to FCE/LiveType; I've played a bit with creating titles in LifeType with a transparent background and moved them over to FCE. I have an unfinished project in iMovie 06 and was wondering if I could create a LiveType title with a transparent background and import it into iMovie?

I made a 3 second test title (animated), and then went to "render -> movie"; appeared on desktop as test.mov file. Dragged that into iMovie. Did not knowingly convert that to .dv.
I then created another one, simply went to "save" and it appeared as test.ipr on the desktop. Dragged that one into iMovie as well (no conversion there either).
Both played fine, both had black backgrounds. AFAIK, there are no options in iMovie to set/change the default black background color. Maybe iMovie automatically converts to .dv during import? And, as I mentioned, it occurred to me that it simply may not work because I can't "superimpose" it onto an image or clip in iMovie anyway unless I can find a plugin that will let me insert "picture within picture" or similar. It may be that I only have two options:
Either import an image/clip into LiveType, create the text, render as movie and then import into iMovie, or create text, save as .ipr, import into FCE, export and back into iMovie.
Thanks for spending all this time on this, I appreciate it!

Include Icons in Export to PDF

Hi
When a web template has exceptions applied to it, the user has the option to show those exceptions in colour, or with icons. Seeing that they print in black and white, it seemed like a better plan to show the exceptions with icons. This works in the web template, and looks quite nice, but when the data is downloaded to PDF (for printing), the icons are not included.
Is there something I need to do in order to allow icons to be included in the output to PDF?
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi,
Personally I found it very useful to get PDF export for WEB templates using simple PDF printers (like CutePDF, ADOBE, etc) you will get the exactly the same page as being displayed.
To be able to print whole page and not only the first page you would need to get focus on main fraime. For this add the Javascript element to your webtemplate and put there this code:
function PrintThisPage()
window.print();
for (var i=1; i < window . frames . length ; i++)
window.frames [ i ] . focus(); window . frames [ i ] .print();
After that you just need to assign above function to a button in your web template. You might also need to specify the scaling factor on your printer as 80% or use fit to the page functionality of IE7.
Best regards,
Max

TOC does not include hyperlinks in export to PDF

I created an eBooklet in Pages, but when I export it to PDF, the TOC does not include hyperlinks to the pages. There aren't any signs of the TOC including links in the original Pages document, either.

The iWork '09 DVD can be had at Amazon. You will need to apply the Apple IWork 9.3 updater to bring the applications to their last revision, and compatibility with Mavericks and Yosemite. The help menu in Pages ’09 v4.3 has a link to the that specific PDF user guide. The Number '09 guide is there too. The Keynote '09 PDF User Guide is here.
Pages v5 documents are not directly backwards compatible with Pages '09. You will need to export the content as Pages '09. Since Pages v5.5.1 is lacking nearly 100+ features that were in Pages '09, you must take care with opening Pages '09 documents in Pages v5. It will filter out content that it does not support (e.g. linked text boxes).
Any double-click on a Pages document with both applications installed, will default to opening in Pages v5.5.1. Deliberate effort is required to open Pages '09 documents, either by the Pages '09 file chooser, or a two-finger tap (on your Air) to bring up the secondary menu that has Open with > Pages (4.3) on it.

PhotoShop CS3 Transparent Image Export

In Adobe PhotoShop CS3 Windows version where is the "export as transparent image" feature which was there in the Help Menu earlier? Or is there some other of achieving the same result?

That's baloney, Ed, "IMHO."
Most of us don't fully understand how Photoshop goes about applying JPEG compression algorithms. By your reasoning it would be "improper" for us to save files as JPEGs. I'm just glad that this functionality is built in so that I easily take advantage of the functionality.
Of course there's added value in knowing how to save an image in the format best suited to one's purpose. But the people who miss the wizard are just looking for functionality that has suited them well in the past. What authority do you have to deem this "improper"?

How to make white shapes turn transparent when exporting to .png?

I'm trying to cut out parts of my image with white shapes, but when exporting to .png with transparent backgrounds, the white shapes remain as white shapes instead of becoming transparent and applying the cut.
How do i fix this?
Thanks,
Rokas

Use a mask, most probably an opacity mask should help.

Time code included in frame export!!

I have done something but cannot remember what!!!
When I export a frame from the timeline it includes the time from the timeline making for a long file name.
Could someone please tell me how to turn the time off in the export? Looked at all the prefs but cannot find the option.
Premiere Pro CC 2014 fully up to date.
Thanks
Brian

Sorry this change is not to your liking.
As to adding an option to control this, we hear that a lot with various changes that some customers don't like. When designing a feature, we consider which aspects merit a pref, but the bar is rather high because we have to guard against the UI becoming cluttered. The more prefs there are, the harder it is for users to remember what options they have and find one when they want it. Also, preferences add to the complexity of the code, the testing matrices, and the process of troubleshooting user-reported issues. Granted that the latter concerns are not much in play with something as simple as whether to append the frame's timecode in the name.
I was not involved in this change, but I suspect the thinking was that when the name was simply <source name>_##, most users would edit the name to something more descriptive. The expectation was that adding the timecode would provide useful context--perhaps enough that some users would be able to skip editing the name--and those who don't want the timecode in the image name would probably be editing the string anyway, in which case having a longer initial string (entirely selected by default) would cost them nothing.
Bottom line: if you feel strongly enough that adding an option for this should be a high priority for us, please submit a feature request.
