Inserting still images into video

I have PS CS4 Extended, and I am pretty new to working with video. I need to insert still images into several continuous frames of video after removing the frames that are there. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Inserting still frames into video

Hi! I have PS CS4 Extended and I am pretty new to working with video. I need to put a single still image into several frames of continuous video after removing the existing frames. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

In CS3 the timeline works like it does in premiere pro using keyframes. Actually more like after effects as each object is on its own layer/timeline. As you add a new layer it is added to the top of the timeline. But you can move the layers in the layer panel to move the location it is on in the timeline.
For when the object is visible use the opacity line on the timeline for that object. At the far left is three icons (normally grayed out until to use them.) The fourth icon is a stopwatch, which you click on to activate the keyframes for that properties. The first icon is an arrow pointing left to move you through the keyframes one at a time to the left, the third icon will move you to the right and in between is a dot, when you click on it, it will create a keyframe at that point in time. Just drag the time indicator to the frame you wish to create a keyframe. You will need at least two keyframes for each object and possibly a third depending on how you want your object to become visible and disappear. With a keyframe selected, you can change the opacity in the layers panel.

Still Images into video.

I want to turn images into a video. I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements 10, can I do it with them? Thank you.

Curt
Please re-read and consider the Time Lapse Basics blog post details in the context of you creating many many separate still images of your object moving say from left to right (A to B to C to D). Often "hundreds of pictures" are used depending on the scope of the project - your object moving in time.
Each of those still images (representing A, B, C, and D) gets taken (in the A, B, C, D sequence) into a Premiere Elements where you decrease the duration of each still image (from 5 seconds to say 1 second) to get the object's motion effect of moving from A to D.
What format is your comic strip in now? Drawings on a piece of paper? If these are drawings on paper, then you will should take pictures of each of the drawings A, B, C, and D. It is those pictures (jpg, still images) that get taken in sequence into the video editor like Premiere Elements where you decrease the duration of each to achieve the animated effect.
Photoshop Elements Editor, check out the FIle Menu/Save for Web feature where you can create an animated gif. But, here again, if what you have now are drawings, then you will need to find a way to make photographs of them.
There are numerous ways described online for making your comic strip drawings into and animation (video).
Please review them with a Google search to get an overview of what is out there.
After that, we can go over step by step what next based on your starting material and Premiere Elements.
Thanks.

Combine multiple still images into one clip PE 10

Is it possible to combine mulitple still images into a single clip? For example, I have 50 still images in a video track, each of which is a clip, and I want to combine them into single clip out of them so I can adjust the opacity without having to adjust each of the 50 clips individually. Any information is welcome. Thanks.

Mark,
I had done this but I was hoping there was an easier way to do it within PE, without having to export as a video file and then importing that video file.
One has to think about what PrE is doing with the Timeline, to understand why the Export/Share is necessary to get Stills/Clips to become one file. PrE is a non-destructive editor, in that it does not actually work with the Source Footage/Files, but only extracts data from them. What we see on the Timeline is really a proxy file, representing the edits that we are making. It is stored as XML language, with first links to the Source Files, and then a set of instructions on what we have done with that data. Since the Timeline is but a representation, of what we have done, there is no AV file - yet. That does not come about, until we Export/Share. At that point, PrE looks at the Project file (PREL), and notes exactly what data is required from the Source Files. The program then reads that information, and say gathers the data of Clip # 1 from 00;00;00;00 until 00;05;00;00, for use in the output file. It then moves to say Clip 2, and extracts the data needed there. Finally, the program processes that data, say adding Effects, and then Exports/Shares to a new file - creating that from the data, and the instructions. Still, the originals are not changed in any way - they are untouched, and only read from.
For instance, say we have a 20 min. Source Clip, and cut it into 30 tiny segments, "deleting" material between those. We have not really Cut that Source Clip, and we have not really deleted anything - only in our proxy file, and with the instructions in the PREL. It is the same with Still Images. We see them as separate Clips, with the Duration that we have set, and perhaps any animation that we have added via Keyframing the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale (Zoom), and Motion>Position (Pan), but other than seeing those changes in the proxy file, used only for display of the Timeline and playback, nothing has been done yet. Then, upon Export/Share, when the output file is created, those changes are enacted on it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Still images into a project

Hello.
I am working on an SD NTSC-Anamorphic project and want to bring some still images into the project. The images were shot with a Canon 350D (Rebel XT) in Raw format and currently are in TIFF format as converted by Aperture. When I import the images I am finding a noticable degredation in quality when comparing the images in "Preview" to the Viewer to the Canvas. Once the images are in the timeline and I look at them on the canvas they look alot fuzzier.
Should I be using a different file format? Is there a setting I've overlooked somewhere?
Thanks for any and all suggestions...

Hi,
I have read the comments above and all are valid but they do not look to me to answer your core question.
I had been asking the same question on forums for a long time and had similar responses and finally fixed the issue by purchasing a Photoshop book called WOW.
One of the earlier comments really hits the nail on the head but does not seem to offer the fix (I'm not trying to be critical here because all information does help).
First of all you need to reduce the size of the file for video - this is, in my experience best done in Photoshop not FCP (Photoshop WOW book comes with DVD and automatic actions to do this).
I call this the 'resize' step and put all my photos through this stage first (it does help to have an action for landscape and one for portrait to ensure that they are kept separate for the next step).
Then you need to 'rescale' the image to the size of your project in FCP (I assume that you are using widescreen as I do). To do this you need to create a blank document in widescreen format and then drop or drag your resized photo into the widescreen format and it will take on the same format as the blank widescreen document. Get rid of any layers and save the document in TIFF or JPEG it is up to you - you can keep the layers if you want to but you need to be aware of the issues of layers being imported into FCP.
I felt like I had found my fountain of youth when I sorted this out properly (the stress was definitely make me age).
Some comments suggest that the latest FCP does a better job of compressing the photos than the older versions but I wouldn't know as I use FCP 4.5HD and this may be so. However, it is commonly accepted, I believe, that formating the photo in photoshop is the better option.
It fixed all my headaches at least because I wanted the flexibility of FCP with photos just as you do.
Good luck and no intention to dislocate any noses out there, the willingness of people helping to provide assistance out there is fantastic.

How can I insert a image into a BLOB column in a table?

I am using forms6i against a 10gR2 database and I have one table with a BLOB column and I try to insert a image into this column. I get ORA-01461 error.
The curious case is that in another table with a BLOB column it works very fine.
What happens with the first table? How can I avoid the error?
Thanks in advance.

Why can't I insert an image into the header in Pages 5.0.1?

In previouis versions of Pages, I was able to insert an image into a Header or Footer.
This action does not appear an option in Pages 5.0.1.
Am I missing something?
I must say, I do not like the NEW interface. Much has been lost with the transition to the Cloud.
I like the concept of using my iPad Air and my desktop, however functionality has been tossed out for deference to the Tablet.

KT,
Use a "Floating Graphic" and send it to the Section Master in the Arrange > Section Master menu. Floating is called Stays With Page now. Don't worry about it not being in the Header field. It will serve the purpose.

How do I insert an image into a Form

I want to insert an image into a form. This field will change each time I start a new form. I'm creating an invoice for a customer and they want to insert an image of the house they are working on. Each time they start a new job, they need a new invoice, needing a new image. Can the client inset a jpeg that they have on their computer? Please help!!

If they have a full version of Acrobat, then you could set up a button field from the Forms menu and set it to accept an icon only. They would need to have some knowledge of Acrobat but it could be done.

You may also drag and drop a picture directly to your front panel. You can also use paint, or some other tools, to copy a part of a picture and past it into your front panel. This actually works for the block diagram also. Se example
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

I unsuccessfully tried to find way to insert embedded image into TextArea via <img> tag. Can you point me out how to do this?
Also, please, tell me how to handle IOErrorEvent from TextArea because adding IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR listener to TextArea doesn't cause any effect when image url of img tag has not been found.

If the image is on another server then we prefer to have a link instead of the real image in case it is a large image and we've already seen it or do not want to wait for it to load (server may be slow).
I do not know what any of this means.
I have a single laptop connected to the internet.
So far I have worked out how to upload an image to a thread-reply by copying the uploaded file "path" and pasting it onto the reply
and then after the reply is posted there are two incidence of each image
1. the URL
2. the image at the bottom of the reply
I am a newbie so would appreciate any feedback

How do I insert an image into a Frame?

Hi!
I need to insert an image into a Frame(java.awt.Frame) and I can't use swing, I need to use only awt.
Witch class do I use to insert an image?
Using swing I used a JLabel and the setIcon method. But now I can use only AWT.

Out of curiosity, why are you limiting yourself to AWT? Why not use Swing / JFrame, etc..
I think this is a situation where answering your direct question is the wrong way to go. Perhaps its more of a design question that needs to be addressed.

How do you insert an image into a google map using a macbook?

I am trying to put images into a Google map using my MacBook, but cannot seem to find any help. How do I insert an image into my Google map using my MacBook?

Nothing complicated with your menu - very clear "ADD Image" but my menus are not as simple. Everytime I need to add an image I spend 5-10 minutes searching again. Wonder why so hard. I generally find Acrobat menus cryptic and unclear and I am big Adobe fan - use Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Premier, Fireworks etc - but Acrobat menus are like calculus in the dark.
