Is there a trick or tip for envelopes?

Is there a trick or tip for envelopes?
In Word it was easy to print an envelope. You were able to set up your preference for return address & font & a different font for the outgoing address & save it. Then when finished typing a letter you could highlight the outgoing address, copy it & go to Tools/Letters & mailings/Envelopes & mailings & you got a separate window with your previously set fonts & return address. All you had to do was paste your outgoing address in the address field & then you were ready to print the envelope. This was very useful & FAST as you need not save a separate file with the address. Especially if you didn’t plan on more letters to that address.
I cannot figure out how to do something similar in Pages. The best I can come up with is slow & many steps. I must open a new FROM TEMPLATE CHOOSER Pages window from the file menu, select a particular envelope, get a new window & type in all the address information including my return address selection; fonts, size, etc. Then that Envelope file can be used to print an envelope & you now have a separate file to save.
There MUST be an easier way. I finally created a template titled “aaaaaaa envelope template” & put in my return address in the font & size I wanted. I also typed a sample outgoing address in the (larger) font I often use for envelopes.
Now when I finish a letter I copy the outgoing address, I locate & open my “aaaaaaa envelope template” file & highlight the sample address & paste my desired outgoing address from the letter I just typed. Next, I must “save as”in order to both keep the new file & save my template. This cannot be the best way to do this. I know many Mac people type many letters (I don’t) & this would drive them crazy or to buy Word (ugh).
Suggestions?

Well, I guess there is NOT some obvious tip or trick I missed. I am already using a template I created. From my original post:
“I finally created a template titled “aaaaaaa envelope template” & put in my return address in the font & size I wanted. I also typed a sample outgoing address in the (larger) font I often use for envelopes.
Now when I finish a letter I copy the outgoing address, I locate & open my “aaaaaaa envelope template” file & highlight the sample address & paste my desired outgoing address from the letter I just typed.”
I don’t do that many envelopes or letters, maybe a few per month. I don’t put street addresses in my address book just email addresses. (I think I’ll add street addresses)
Thanks Walt, I D/L Easy Envelope Widget. I’ll play around with it soon. I actually do not have my actual name listed on my address book the entry is titled “Me” (Not sure why, perhaps just an unneeded security habit) so that is what appears in the return address for Easy Envelope & I doubt that can be manually changed/saved as per the FAQ. I like the idea of printing the postal bar code to speed things up though.

Great acne/scar removal trick + workflow tips for short music vids + creating a "template" in FCPX

To all fine people of the FCP X community forum:
     I’ve received a tremendous amount of helpful commentary on these boards. Using FCPX for my projects has really expedited my post production process. I thought I would show my gratitude by giving a tip I have been using the **** out of. For any skin imperfections like scars/acne/blemishes etc., i’ve been using the CENSOR tool. Here’s a before and after, You can see the censor filter applied to her forehead and a separate censor application with slightly different settings to her right cheek.
     I thought this might help others who are photographers who like to include videos of their shoots with models but don’t want to deal with After Effects/Motion. Full short video available here: http://instagram.com/p/nqdtqzTT7m/
     Unfortunately I wouldn’t be making my entrance into this beloved forum if I wasn’t in search of some advice from those much wiser than I. I am constantly making these 15 second BTS clips of my models and one of the most changed/switched out/substituted shots in almost every project I do is my first shot and the song selection.   Since I tend to use a lot of cuts even if I change the song last second it isn’t an issue to make a few adjustments between shots (helps that the duration of the video is so short) as long as the song has a fast tempo. I don’t add my song selection to the primary storyline and connect my video clips due to the fact that usually the song may be swapped out once a model decides she’d prefer something else or if I have a change of heart. Common sense tells me to avoid this annoyance by just working on my cuts first and waiting until the completion of my edit to add music. So what i’ve been doing is just working on the video and while editing listen to potential tracks on iTunes or via finder. But wanted to ask you guys:
1 - Should I stop adding my audio at the very end as a connected clip and just make add audio directly to my primary storyline and all video that I add subsequently are just “connected clips”? What is the benefit to this in regards to speed considering how often I am changing my starting and ending clips? I never did this because I assumed if I don’t want to use the song any more it would be too much of a hassle to add those clips to a new song (seems like i’d have to create a compound clip of everything with the old song disabled). Any thoughts?
2 - Am I able to create a “template” for common projects? For my BTS videos I generally always want my videos to be 23.98 fps, 1080, have 50 pixel margins on the top and bottom, generate a white background and have entire video shrink down to 58% for it to fit within the confines of apps like Instagram or Vine. It would save a **** of a lot of time if I could just save a template for these projects…
3 - I would just about KILL to see a few music video workflow options. I’m a Lynda.com subscriber and don’t see any workflow options, searched Larry David’s tutorials couldn’t find any and there aren’t many options on Youtube. Ever music video editor I know who works professionally uses Adobe Premiere… I would like to be the first in my circle to use and convince everyone to switch.
Thanks again for your all of your help everyone, hope my tip helps someone!
Anthony

Muito abrigado my friend! Seriously thanks a million, but I was curious to know about my situation regarding replacing my first shot multiple times... In another words there's a clip already in the storyline which won't allow me to replace edit since it just moves out of the way. Would you just go back into the browser and add the original selection to the first clip? Because I kept having to move my connected music and solid I just gave up and would wait until the end to add the music and solid (I add the solid to give the background a different color when I want to create the letterbox effect).
I just watched a music video tutorial where someone created a 3 minute solid, made like a hundred cuts with the blade tool and manually dragged each clip from his browser to replace from start for each of those cuts in the solid...
What is your workflow for music-based edits? Do you place the song in the primary story line and use the video as connected clips? Do you use a solid or gap clip and dissect it with cuts and replace the segments with clips? I really hate not being able to add markers to the timeline and must make those marks on a clip/generator/music track of some kind. Also if you have a project that has the same settings with fps, crop size, solid as a background is there a way to make template so I don't have to do that each and every time?
Thanks again my friend!!!

Exchange 2013 with Outlook 2013 - Not getting pop-up or mail tips for attachments exceeding max size

Our environment is Exchange Server 2013 CU3 and Outlook 2013 in cached mode. We have a transport rule that sets the max attachment size to 20 mb.
If someone sends an attachment larger than 20 mb they receive an NDR letting them know the message wasn't delivered because it exceeded the max attachment size. We would like for the user to be prevented from sending the message at all or to at least
get a mail tip before they try to send the message. The Outlook pop-up message that says "The file you're attaching is bigger than the server allows. Try putting the file in a shared location ..." isn't being generated for us. Not sure if that's
because we're running Exchange or not. If that pop-up isn't going to work it would be nice if the user could at least get a mail-tip warning them that the attachment exceeds the limit. But it doesn't look likes there's a mail-tip for attachment size, only
for message size. And, I've found that the message size mail-tip only works if the limit is set on the user. It doesn't seem to work if the limit is set via a transport rule.
Has anyone else gotten Outlook to present the pop-up or a mail-tip when exceeding attachment size? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks but I performed all of those trouble shooting prior to posting to the forum. But, I have found the answer!
After referring to this article;
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124345(v=exchg.150).aspx
I removed the 10mb default limits from the organization config and chose to set the attachment and message size limits in our environment via transport
rules instead. That is the only way you can actually set an attachment size limit.
I had read this article several times searching for an answer;
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2813269#appliesto
The key is here;
"If you are using an Exchange Server account, the 20-MB attachment
limit for Internet email accounts is not used by Outlook 2013. Instead, Outlook uses the limit that is configured on your Exchange server. To modify the setting that is used to control the size of a message that is sent through an
Exchange Server account, follow these steps."
The steps that follow are for Exchange 2010 but they show setting organization limits not server limits. And note that it
says the size of a message, not the size of an attachment. Since mail-tips for message size are not displayed when the limit is set via the transport rules I thought it
was possible that the same inconsistency might apply to the attachment pop-up warning. I set the organization limits and voila! The pop-up now displays when an attachment that exceeds the message size limit is added to a message.
This is exactly what I wanted. Now users won't fill up their sent items trying to send large attachments that just bounce anyway.
It would be wonderful if Microsoft would provide information about what features of Outlook are affected when you apply message size limits at the
various levels.

Your tips for recording vocals

To all the vocal producers out there:
What are your tips for recording vocals? Not necessarily the EQ and compression and that jazz, but how you record it? I'm trying to record my own vocals but naturally I can't sing a verse in one take. Do you guys break each line up? How do you do it so the tone and volume are the same each time? If you've got a different audio segment for each line, do you just chop them up and merge them into one segment? Do you record harmonies the same way or do you have pitch-shift shortcuts?

Maybe I'm just cranky today (apologies in advance), but when I saw this:
but naturally I can't sing a verse in one take
I wanted to throw something. Why the f#7*& not?
My suggestion to you is you work hard on your vocal abilities, maybe with the help of a good vocal coach. Once that's done, learn microphone technique. After that's done, practice, practice, practice.
When you have accomplished the above, test several microphones and find which one suits your voice. Maybe you should book some time at a commercial studio with a helpful engineer for this step. Learn the characteristics of each microphone and preamp, and see which best suit your voice.
Then, and only then, start buying stuff for your home studio: then there will be another few months while you learn how to put it all together.
Meanwhile, this might help:

And good luck!

Are there any magazines with articles and tips for Encore - English language

Are there any magazines with articles and tips for Encore - English language

The very best "chronicle" on Encore that I can come up with is Jeff Bellune's Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. It was written for EncoreDVD 2.0, but everything in it applies to CS4. Now, as of CS4, Adobe Dynamic Link to PrPro has been greatly improved and strengthened, and that part will have to come from the Help files. The book is still the best resource for 99% of Encore, and I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. It is an invaluable reference, whether you have EnDVD 2.0, CS3 or CS4.
As for magazine articles, Encore is mentioned in some, but I do not recall any specific to the program. Same for books on DVD/BD authoring. I have several, that use Encore for some examples, and other authoring programs for others.
The closest thing that we have to the PrPRo-Wiki, mentioned in your thread in the PrPro forum, is the wonderful set of Encore FAQ's on this forum. Jeff Bellune and Neil Wilkes have done a great job of rebuilding those, and most were lost, when the forum underwent a major changeover about 1.5 years ago.
Next, just reading this forum will help one learn how to do much in Encore, and also how to solve any problems.
One other asset that needs to be pointed out is the link in this ARTICLE to Jim Taylor's DVD FAQ. His book, DVD Demystified, by McGraw Hill, will tell you everything that you would ever want to know about DVD/BD, and his FAQ site will cover most of the important info.
Great reading in each of those. That is not an all-inclusive list, but all that I can think of for now.
Good luck,
Hunt

I'm afraid not. Mags like Computer Arts and others have occasional articles interspersed or specials (Computer Arts Projects) but if you want my opinion: You can find much better resources online. Most of these print articles are really quite generic and aimed e.g. at 3D artists who only do the occasional piece of work in AE...

Hello there. Any tips for an affordable AVCHD camcorder for Final Cut Pro X?

Hello there.
I am enthusiast for the new Final Cut Pro X.
I am now starting to learn with iMovie '11 and I would like to buy a AVCHD camcorder. It should be affordable and compatible with iMovie '11 and Final Cut Pro X. Any tips? I live in Italy.
Thank you in advance.

I use an SDT 750 and an AC 90, both Pansonic cams, both are set to shoot 1920 x 1080 50P.
FCP X works just fine with this footage as does interlaced.
If you Mac is fast enough you won't need to transcode to Prores/Optimise for simple Projects it works directly with imported media.

Straightening and cropping scanned photos...is there a trick for this?

Hi,
I am scanning a bunch of photos of various sizes/shapes. If I place the photos right up against the edge of the scanner, it crops it. So what I have been doing is eyeballing it a couple of centimeters away from the edge. Naturally it is slightly off as far as being aligned straightly. I have been using transform to adjust the photo so it is straight. Is there any trick within Photoshop to align it according to the images edges?
Also, is there any way to use the wand (to basically select all of a photo) and then crop the selected?
Thanks!
PS. Since the photos are of various sizes I cannot use a holder.

If the scanner is cropping the very edge of the glass off, try putting a piece of white tape down on the glass - maybe a 1/2 inch wide strip exactly parallel to the scanner edge. You can then slide your prints up to that and they will be aligned and within the scannable area.
There are a couple of ways to easily deal with your current crop (pun intended) of scans. The easiest way is to just use the Crop Tool to both crop and rotate at the same time, but make sure that you leave the resolution blank in the crop tool options at the top. The second is to use the Ruler Tool to measure along any of the sides of your scan. That angle will be recorded automatically in the Image>Rotate>Arbitrary dialog, where you can rotate the image back square again. You'll then have to crop it, so you might as well just do it in one fell swoop with the crop tool.

Appt entry/edit question: want tips for ease of use

Hi all, I use iCal on my iMac and iPhone, and have run across these issues, and wondered if there is a trick or tip I am missing.
Adding an appointment on the desktop:
When the event edit screen pops up, I try tabbing through each field to enter the relevant data. This entire window seems to be difficult to navigate, in that I would expect to tab through every field. After "location", the tab jumps to either the minutes or the AM/PM field. I then have to back tab to where I need to be. Entering the times can be a trick. I try to enter a 12:30 pm appointment, and in the hour field I type a 1 and a 2, which works sometimes, but sometimes moves me from a 1:00 display to a 2:00. then my noon appt is misscheduled for 2:00, if I don't catch it. Am I missing something?
When I am done editing a calendar entry, I can't hit return to save, I have to click done. Again, am I missing something, or is this just how it works?
thanks for any tips you have!

i believe , the configuration should work fine...one thing you need to ensure is , both the devices need to have latest firmware ..

Tips for Changing Flash Website to HTML / Dreamweaver

I am going to be taking over the management of a website that was designed entirely in Flash. There really is no need for the entire website to be entirely in Flash - it is confusing to navigate and most of the content would be so much easier to update and maintain if it were saved in html. I want to keep two flash effects - one is the splash page and the other is gallery where a grid of photos flips up like cards and you can click the individual photos for a link to a specifications page.
So, my question. Is there an easy way to transition the site from flash only into html / dreamweaver? I think I already know the answer to this - "NO" - I'm going to have to redesign the site in dreamweaver and just insert the two flash elements I want to keep, but if anybody has any tips or tricks that would be FANTASTIC! Thanks.

The problem with FLASH sites is that they speak a different language - Action Script instead of HTML. While some Flashy effects can be emulated with DHTML (JavaScript, JQuery etc...) it's not always possible to achieve the exact same feel without FLASH. Everything depends on how Flash-centric the original site is and how much your client/boss is willing to toss out in favor of a more web accessible, search engine / user friendly / standards compliant website.
Incidentally, SPLASH pages are a complete waste of prime URL real estate. You don't want a Flash or image only SPLASH intro page on your ALL IMPORTANT domain name default page. If anything, you need to rebuild home page in HTML with plenty of keyword rich content for search engines and people to grab onto.
For more meaningful suggestions, please post a URL to the live site? It will be interesting to see how it ranks on Google and other SEs.

Hopefully useful tips for endless processing

I also posted this in reply to another user, but I think it might be useful enough to others that I will post it here so it's not so buried.
I'm just starting, after many, many hours, to see the light at the end of the tunnel with Aperture 3. I think A3 offers some great options, and is a diamond in the rough -- very, very rough, even in v3.0.1.
But I think I have some VERY USEFUL TIPS for you here (again this is after a lot of learning by pain... 4 different attempts to "upgrade" my A2.1.4 library (42K images about 200GB of images).
1st, and possibly most importantly the "SHIFT" key is your friend. You can use it when you restart A3 to stop the endless processing loop that A3 would fall into every time I upgraded or imported my library to A3 (or 3.01). All you need to do is hold down the "SHIFT" key while restarting A3, this should top all previously stuck processing as you upgrade your library. So use this tip after you first upgrade/import your library, if the processing bug hits. Then you have to be patient and go though your library and figure out where the problem files are (Apple has done a LOUSY job in not identifying what specific images A3 is processing in the "Activity Window" -- Let Apple know if this really bugs you)
2nd, at this point you will need to systematically go through your library and figure out where the "problem" files are and "fix" them (in my case all of these worked just fine in 2.1.4 - go figure). I would start by generating thumbnails for all of the images in a project, one project at a time (I had 150 some in my library). When you get stuck in the "processing" loop again, you can restart A3 using the "SHIFT" trick, and maybe just try a chunk of images within that same project until you find where things fail again, and until you can get to the offending image (if it's a problem you won't be able to generate a thumbnail for the image -- and A3 will go into endless "processing" mode)
3rd, this sound like a horribly tedious process and it is. But I can offer you some useful tips. In my case, and others as well apparently, a lot of the offending files are 16-bit PSD or TIFF images, especially if they had adjustments applied in A2.1.4. In my case I had fewer than 50 of these, so I exported an original and a jpg for each of these files. I re-imported the jpg and deleted the PSD/TIFF from A3 (I kept the exported original for future use). These files would then generate thumbs without endlessly processing. The other type of file that I ran into problems with were stitched panoramic images (often over 30MP) that I had applied adjustments to in A2.1.4. I simply removed the adjustments and the generated thumbs for them (worked like a charm).
4th, download some good podcast, music or audiobook... this will take a long time.
Cheers, and look me up in FaceBook I started a group called "Apple Please Fix Aperture"

Danny,
Funny you should mention this.... (actually it makes you look a bit like a "schill", even though you are not)... nope, as far as I can tell there is no way to tell which specific images are causing A3 to grind to a halt.
Hence my comment:
"(Apple has done a LOUSY job in not identifying what specific images A3 is processing in the "Activity Window" -- Let Apple know if this really bugs you)" and similar previous ones in other posts.
I wonder if Steve, yes that one, knew about this, being the perfectionist he seems to be, if he would have this feature included in Activity Monitor ASAP, or more likely it would have just been fixed by now (more of a "one-button" solution). Anyone have his house #?
In any case, I please let me (us) know if this helps resolve your problems... and consider joining the Facebook group as well and maybe we can hope for a much better 3.x.x version in the very near future.
