Is there a stopwatch In CS4?

I'm talking about the stopwatch between the graph editor & brain storm that makes it easier to animate & edit.
When I log into cs4 it's not there, but it was there when I used cs6.
Is it not available in cs4, or is it hidden somewhere in the options?
any help is appreciated, thanks.

It certainly should be there in After Effects CS4. In fact, this feature (the Auto-keyframe button) was added in After Effects CS4.
That said, we consider this feature to have been a mistake and are phasing it out. We strongly recommend that you just use the standard keyframing feature set rather than relying on the auto-keyframing feature, which can very often do surprising and unexpected things.

Will there be support in CS4 for the JVC GY-HM700 files?

will there be support in CS4 for the JVC GY-HM700 files? Of course without rendering neccessary?

I own a HM100, which uses the same EX1 codec. The difference is the HM100 allows you to choose between a MOV and MP4 wrapper. The MP4 wrapper works great in Premiere CS3 and CS4.(just like the EX1)
The HM700 in stock configuration, only saves in the MOV wrapper, which does not work with CS4. You have to buy the Available with optional SxS Media Recorder to have the HM700 save in .MP4.
Now there is a codec you can buy - it is not free- that allows you to view the MOV files. I am not sure that will make it work with CS4.

Is there a stopwatch ??

I'm kind of shocked at having so much difficulty finding such a basic app.
Mac's come with a calculator , a dictionary and even chess , so where's the stopwatch/timer ?
easy star I hope

Ok, Let's try this route(& MacUpdate has a lot of info for timers & swatches). Open Script Editor/File/New and paste this:
tell application "Terminal"

end tell
Then in top menu of that page: hit Compile, record, stop and run(let them all do their task before doing each task). And save menu as Application to Desktop(or wherever). Once that's done , double click that app and terminal will start running your stopwatch/timer until you stop it with control c. And "real" is what you want. Then type exit and close window. Now what I just typed was the long way to do what I answered earlier, but as a lovely parting gift you get a desktop App......

Thank you but I'll pass. I can see disaster written all over that wall. I've crashed a few computers fooling around with things I didn't understand.

Is there any way to copy the numbers from the iPad stopwatch?

I am doing some timestudies using the stopwatch in the clock app on an iPad mini. Is there anyway to get the time out of the stopwatch and into notes or an e-mail? I would like the text not just a screenshot of the stopwatch.

No, you can't. There are stopwatch apps out there that have that feature, but the default iOS app can not. I agree, it should have that feature.

Is there a 'repair' option in DW CS4?

Dreamweaver just got stuck when I was saving a style sheet. I have switched off completely and re-started my computer but DW still tells me that my CSS files 'appear to be html' and all the external style sheet CSS options have vanished.
Is there a 'repair' option for this software? I have CS4 web standard. I looked in Windows Control panel and only found the uninstall option, if I am re-installing on the same computer do I still have to de-active the product?
Grateful for some advice

No there is not a repair option. You really should de-activate your suite from another product if you can get in. Because many cases the uninstall does not work well and most people have to use the CS4 Clean Script which erases the activation and if you did not de-activate the product you would have to go through a process. If you are still able to get into DW though, make sure you Export all of your Sites to back them up because once you re-install the suite the defined sites will no longer be there.

There's an error in my flash program upon upgrading from CS3 to CS4

First, i'm using AS3.
I cannot divulge too much, but i have a multiscene, fairly complex flash program that runs fine in CS3. Upon upgrading to Flash CS4 - i can open the file and edit it any which way, but when testing it (ctrl+enter) i get an error in the output window (1009) and a blank test window, as if it doesn't want to start.
Why?
i can only provide few specifics if needed. thanks.

There were changes in CS4 that could in some cases let you get away with things that you couldn't in CS3, mostly to do with going to a frame and trying to do something to an object that now exists on that frame. Error 1009 is what happens if you try to use something that isn't there yet. I guess it's possible that because CS4 is better at using objects at the new frame, that it may have triggered a problem that CS3 wouldn't have triggered.
In any case, first thing you could try is updating to the recent 10.0.2. That fixed a lot of issues, and may improve things for you:

CS4 is missing the Pagemaker tool bar, is there an equivilant?

I did read in the description that the Pagemaker Tool bar (was renamed to something else for CS3) was removed totally from CS4. Is there any equivilant tool bar in CS4 that gives a lot of the same options like open and save buttons? I also used the increase and decrease all fonts button and the zoom in and out buttons all the time. Now it is forcing the user to go into the dropdowns to do a lot of the same stuff now which are extra steps. If there is nothing in CS4 like this anymore, are there any plugins to create something similar out there?

I don't know the answer to your toolbar question -- but all of the functions you mention have simple keyboard shortcuts, which are (in my experience) much quicker and easier to use than toolbar buttons (or menus), and keep me from excess mousing and repetitive motion injuries. And the lack of a toolbar gives me more screen real estate for doing actual work. If you do, in fact, use these commands "all the time," it's probably worth your time to at least try them. On the Mac, command-shift-angle-brackets increases or decreases type size of selected text by an amount you set in preferences; open and save are command-O and command-S; zooming is done with command-hyphen and command-equals (think minus and plus), and command-zero fits the page to the window.
The standard toolbar does at least have a place you can click to resize the currently selected text -- the little arrows next to the current font size.

Is there a Adobe Fireworks CSS3 mobile pack download for Fireworks CS4?

I've found the download for CS5 (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/fireworks_css3mobile.html if anyone is interested), but is there a download for CS4?

If the FW panel doesn't work, there are a billion-and-one online tools to aid in learning CSS3 these days. For instance:
http://css3generator.com/
http://css3please.com/
http://www.css3maker.com/
http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/#
http://www.westciv.com/tools/gradients/index-moz.html
http://matthewlein.com/ceaser/
These are mostly designed to generate CSS based on your graphic or properties input. A good way to actually learn CSS is to find a good book (or online resource) on the subject and play with the code in Dreamweaver or using something like the Web Developer Toolbar extension for Firefox, which has a CSS Edit feature that allows you to edit CSS of a web site "on the fly".
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/
Then there's always demos and articles that you can find on creative applications of CSS3. These can be educational or inspiring:

Error in VBA reference for Adobe Photoshop CS4 Object Library

Hello,
I'm using Windows 7 Pro, MS Office 2010 Pro and Creative Suite CS4 (with all updates).
I will automate Photoshop via Visual Basic for Applications in MS Access.
Befor using there the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Object Library I must reference it in VBA.
But when I will du this, I get the message "Error loading DLL".
When I will manually reference to the WIASupport.8LI File, I get the error: "Cannot reference this file"
Can you give a tip, how I can solve this problem?
Regards

I have the same problem! I have photoshop cc2014 (which we own) and the object library shows, but not for cs 5.1 (30 day trial).
Does registering unlock something?
Help please!!

Bridge CS4 is slow, slow, slow (so is Photoshop CS4)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 6000+ CPU, 4 GB RAM, Windows XP SP2 32-bit, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card, two 1-TB hard disks with hundreds of GB free
With Bridge CS3 it took less than ten seconds to build the thumbnails of a folder with 85 image files. With Bridge CS4, it takes almost two minutes. Anybody having the same problem?
And where have the preference options for the thumbnail quality gone? I wanted to set the thumbnail quality to 'low' for a speed-up but I cannot. The options just aren't there in the Bridge CS4 preferences dialog ... and it takes forever building those thumbnails one after one, about one per second. And as if that wasn't bad enough already, Bridge CS4 extracts more than hundred thumbnails from only 85 raw image files, according to the text appearing in the status bar next to the spinning radar icon. There is something seriously screwed up.
And Photoshop CS4 is sluggish, too (no matter if Enable OpenGL is on or off).
So by and large, CS4 is a major disappointment. I hope for some updates REAL soon. For now, I am back to CS3. :(

Nope. There is no star icon, no square, and below the workspace options there's the Content pane. Why don't you simply put the thumbnail quality options where they belong and where they always have been?
EDIT: Now I found out what Michelle was talking about: the so-called path bar. Of course I disabled that silly path bar first thing after installing Bridge CS4 so I didn't notice that the UI of one of the most essential settings is located there---and
i only
there ... even though it has nothing to do with paths. (Suggestion what to do to this UI's designer removed.)

If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade". Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion? Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!! It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old) (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose.
I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product. Now I get slapped in the face, HARD. Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products. I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone. and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer. Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps. What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people. The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion". At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form. "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species. Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly. Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs. I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.
Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY?
Also, off my wagon and back to my question; will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"? Thanks!

I went to that page. Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer. I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine). I could live with what it says. I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime. Why that works, I have no idea. I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
This community is a life saver for me. I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs. All my problems have been solved by you great people! And I thank you !
My present concern is: I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer???? Photoshop users?????
Geniuses???? If you know, please help me out here. I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!) VISTA, and I cannot !!!! Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud?????? Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers???? HELP!!!!

(CS4) Why is Premiere CS4 modifying TIFF files in a sequence?

Hello,
decided to post here, because I didn't find any old postings of this subject anywhere.
I'm composing 2-d drawn animation on AE and editing in Premiere, then importing to
Avid media composer for exporting to Sony Digital Beta tape via SDI. When working in
CS3 and earlier, everything was nice, AE made about 1730 kB TIFF files and Premiere
kept them the same size, you just needed to select export -> movie... Tiff sequence,
deselect recompress, select best quality and optimize stills. File sizes were the same,
and I could rest assured that the original AE image quality was still there.
Now in CS4, something fundamental has changed. AE CS4 still makes perfect TIFF
animation frames (at 1024x576 same as CS3, about 1730kB and at 1050x576 about
1770kB).
So far, so good.
In Premiere 2.0 and 3.0, you could select a preselection 720*576 pal widescreen
composition and when exporting the edited animation would get the same pixel-level
IQ as from a custom Desktop: 1024*576 square pixel composition, when using the
Export movie described above. This to me looks like Premiere uses the original
TIFF material.
But in Premiere 4.0, something weird happens. If I use a 720*576 pal widescreen
preset (with AE CS4 1050*576 animation sequences) and export 1050*576 pal
widescreen square pixel image sequences, Adobe Media Encoder chops off 330
square pixels and stretches the image horizontally for blurred, sad results.
EXPORT MOVIE never did this!
Having found that out, I use only custom-> desktop: 1024 or 1050 projects now,
but here again something weird happens: Adobe Media encoder adds about 600kB
to every TIFF frame, and I'm almost unable to notice the difference, but I would say
that the images certainly don't look any better than the ones that were imported to
Premiere, more on the opposite. So, in every option but when exporting one TIFF at
a time Media Encoder alters the superb AE TIFFs.
Why on earth does Adobe want to add a huge amount of useless bits, in animation
the disk space required increases very significantly. What was wrong with the
EXPORT MOVIE option?
I'm asking should I just edit in Premiere 3 if I want unchanged, superb AE quality
TIFF sequences? Premiere gives it when I export only 1 frame, but as soon as I tick
"Export as sequence" it starts Adobe Media encoder which affects all frames, even
those with no Premiere effects on them. Premiere 3 preserved original IQ even in
PAL editing mode (export movie uncompressed) but Encoder in CS4 either
loses 30% of the pixels or adds about 600kB more air!?!?!
1050*576 is not a must for me because I want web movies to be 16:9 sqpix and
the Avid where I work in prefers 1024*576 over 1050*576 in Digital Betacam tape
exporting for uncompromised broadcasting results.
This issue is affecting many animatiors here in Finland, in CS3 and earlier there
were no problems because Premiere respected AE quality work, but now this Media
Encoder has messed things up, not selecting Custom-desktop-1024/1050 will ruin any
animation movie image sequence and selecting it makes files A LOT bigger without any
improvement in IQ.
I hope someone from Adobe could explain what on earth is going on in Premiere
development? Many animation professionals in Finland are awaiting your kind reply.
Anyone with a clue what's going on in the altering can give a hand!
Olli Laamanen, Finland

I did additional testing by comparing exported frames from Premiere
to the AE frames. Only when I delete all render files before export, do I get
the same image pixel-wise. But then there's the extra ~600kB of data.
Does anyone know what that is, a colleague suggested it might be the color
profile or some metadata added by adobe media encoder. I'd really like
to know what it is! Someone who knows something about this Adobe
Media Encoder might have the answer.
So if you are using AE and Premiere to make animation and want to
keep your master footage unchanged, the equivalent for CS3 export ->
movie -> TIFF uncompressed is to
-work only in desktop mode
-delete all render files before exporting media through the encoder
otherwise CS4 will change your images.
Like this it doesn't change the images but adds over 30% additional
data (somekind of tags/metadata)?
Anyone with a guess what it is, please help!

Can't download the latest Camera Raw 5.3 in CS4

I've just upgraded from Elements 5.0 to CS4 (with RAW 5.0) and can only open Nikon D80 RAW files. I can't open Lumix LX3 RAW files. I tried to download the latest Camera RAW 5.3 by clicking in the Help Menu and choosing "Update". I get the message "the Installation process as encountered a problem". I then have a choice of choosing; "run update again", "stop installation", or "cancel". I'm also getting this error message with "Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1" update. I can't work out if there's a problem with the "Extension Manager", the RAW update, or the "Installation Manager" - if that's what it's called.
I looked in C:\program files\common files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats, and can see "Camera RAW.8bi. I'm sure that is the same name as the RAW Plug-In in Elements 5. Am I having this problem because Elements 5 is on the same Drive, or is there a problem with CS4? To add insult to inury, I have encountered a few other problems, listed below:-
I can't delete a layer by dragging it to the Bin. I have to right click on it and choose "delete layer"
When I make a Levels Adjustment Layer, there is no "OK" button to click on, to make the dialogue box disappear. That wouldn't matter too much, but I don't know how to "cancel" an amendment as I used to do, by pressing Alt key and clicking on "Cancel" to restore the changes. How do I do this in CS4?
I'd prefer all the Windows to Float, so I can move them around. I can't see how to make this a preference. I have to click on the "Window" menu and make the changes for every document. Otherwise, the picture fills the whole screen.
I made some brushes in Elements 5 - mainly a signature brush. How would Iike to copy this brush to CS4? I can see a "Brush Presets" folder, but not individual brushes in either package.
Lastly, I'd like to load CS4 on my laptop, if that's allowed. I don't often connect to the Internet with my laptop for security reasons. Do I need to be connected to load it onto the Laptop.
I bought CS4 from Adobe, and was hoping there wouldn't be a problem with the software. Upgrading from Elements 5 has been a cultural shock, so I hope I don't sound too "dim". I've watched lots of DVDs about CS3 and CS4, but still feel quite swamped with the new features.
I'd be grateful for any help with the above questions.

For floating windows, uncheck the relevant boxes in Edit > Preferences > Interface. And play with the Arrange documents drop-down in the top bar. Also see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405298.html
Save the brushes as an .abr file in a known location on your hard drive and load them from there into CS4.
You are allowed an extra installation on a laptop but you'll need an internet connection to activate it (or use the telphone number provided).
And finally ...

Bridge will not open CS4

hi,
I'm having a problem opening CS4 from bridge. Right clicking a thumbnail in Bridge does NOT give me the option of opening the image in CS4,I have to open it in ACR and from there open it in CS4.
OS system is 32bit Vista,and I have tried the resetting thing already.Im sure it must be a prefence setting somewhere I just have not been able to find it.
thanks,,
Richard

Have you made sure all the scripts are ticked in Bridge Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts?
