Keeping captions in slideshow, and organizing collections by choice in PSA SE 3
1. I lose my captions when I put the pics in PDA slideshow format...can I keep them as shown in my Collections? I use WIN XP on Dell Inspiron 8200.
2. I do not want my Collections organized alphabetically or by date, but as I set them up. Is there a way I can insure the Collections stay lined up as I wish?
Thanks for your reply. (1) By "losing my captions" going into PDA format,I meant that they did not carry over when the slideshow was performing, so viewers would not know what they were seeing. The captions remained below my pictures in the Collection, however.
(2) I was referrring to the specific "Collections" feature of PS3. I had no ttrouble moving the pictures around in a given Collection, and they stayed put there, but my series of several Collections kept realigning themselves in an order different from the one I put them in. I wanted them shown in a specific order. Any suggestions?

I am using my Description as the caption on Slideshow. I ticked the "Show Title Slide" button and iPhoto physically copied the description on the first slide onto the end of every other description. I can find no way of removing them other than by hand. Unticking the "show title slide" did not reverse the situation back to my required state. Any ideas why it might have happened or how it might br resolved? Regards, Marshfrog1

Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.

DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

I created a new collection and put all of my same photos in them as a previous collection, then I changed them to black and white and both collections changed. How do I keep the first collection colour and make the second collection black and white.
For the second collection, choose the option to make virtual copies. Then you can turn the virtual copies to black & white, leaving the first collection in color. If you want file copies of the B & W images you can export copies.

I want to remove my itunes library to a thumb make memory space - how can I make sure I keep all playlists and organizing intact?
Do you mean a flash drive? I don't know if I would trust one of those entirely. Make sure you make a backup.
Copy the entire iTunes folder to the flash drive. Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the library on the flash drive. If you forget to plug in the flash drive before starting iTunes in the future you will have to do the option start thing again. -
I'm trying to export a slideshow and I keep getting this message: The movie contains an invalid data reference. What should I do?
That usually means that iPhoto can't find a clip or a shot that you're using in the Slideshow.

Importing and organizing raw video footage - options
greetings-
Looking for a better solution, if available, for importing & organizing raw video. I am using imovie for now. Soon to switch to FC express. After much exploring & learning on my new machine (recent convert), I’m a bit frustrated on how it video is handled.
Please correct any of these that I’ve got wrong, but it appears that:
Importing video (from DV camera) with programs provided on my machine can only be done through imovie and idvd.
Importing video through these programs requires creating a project, and importing the video to that project.
Then that imported video is associated with that project.
So I want to take the imported clips (say from imovie), and organize them archiving, use on other projects, backup, etc. I know that I can find the actually video files by control clicking on the project in finder, hit show package, and get to "clip 1, clip 2...clip 55". This represents the raw footage, but now I’ve got say 55 separate clips, for just one import.
I’d like to effectively organize my various raw videos by year/event etc. So that when working a project, a can pull in the different footage that I want to use. For instance, I previously imported and organzied video footage with my PC editing software, and now, thankfully, I can just bring that various footage from the external drive into Imovie and edit. If I want to do a project and grab some footage from 04, 05, 06, it's all right there.
Is there a better solution for import & organizing my raw video clips more efficiently with imovie or idvd?? Or perhaps another program. Such that I’ve got the 1/2 hr of video "Christmas 05", one file (not 40 seperate clips), saved, and can pull it into projects as needed in the future... Ideally maintaining the clip breaks. Am I asking to much from apple? How do you all import/manage/save your imported video?
Much thanks for any feedback!
20" G5 core duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)Ciao Rubbersoul,
unfortunately iMovie doesn't allow you to rename the clips (other than within the project), so if you want to label them for future reference, you'll have to do that outside iMovie.
I personally save the best shots from each project to an external hard drive using the following method:
• simply drag the desired clips from the iMovie project to the desktop
• organize the clips by creating the appropriate folders (e.g. by subject, time, etc.), so you'll find your footage faster
• rename the clips within the folders. If you don't need to give each clip a separate name, you can use tools like Renamer4Mac (http://www.power4mac.com) to batch-rename the clips.
• transfer and organize your folders/clips on the external (Firewire) hard disk. You can do that manually or by using media browsers like iDive to organize and view your clips. iDive is a digital hub that can help you to keep not only your video but also music and pic collections under control, and it integrates with iMovie and FCE/FCP. Check it out here:
http://www.aquafadas.com/idive-digital-video/index.php
Always remember that DV eats up a lot of disk space and don't forget to back up your footage to tape.
spero che ti sia d'aiuto

Database organizational tool for videos and slideshows and movies? (mac)
hi all,
i am a mac user who recently purchase Creative Suites and i am on a long march organizing my files into databases now that the office is set up and i am on Mac. i have one major remaining difficulty i am really hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
i am trying to see if there is software or a database that would let me organize my videos/slideshows/movies etcetera.
since i have ported to mac from PC i am seeing the following file types in my "video + slideshow" folder: wmv, pdf, 3gp, avi. mov, mp4 and m4v - which is where i have temporarily gathered up all this information. my recollection is that these were either downloaded from the internet, created on some PC software or created using Keynote, Aperture or iPhoto. i am currently using Aperture to store my images.
i am also going to post on the mac forum but if there is an adobe product that does this exceptionally well i would be happy to buy it.
THANKS in advance for any help or advice on this.hi curt,
thanks. apologies in advance for the long post and slightly off-topic explanation. i am trying to organize things a little better and right now i have way too much data and not enough help organizing it. basically i am trying to move to a database management workflow because there is too much to remember in terms of where my data is. also - it is not LINKED together very well and the workflow to produce the final product is a little disjointed. basically i don't mind using Spotlight to search for files to get it all organized but once i find all my data i would like to get it linked up in a way that is better than dropping it in folders.
can i please ask you how you /use/ bridge then? i mean, right now i am /exporting/ files from my IMAGE database and putting these into folders and then getting these files into the Photoshop (editing), Illustrator (raster work) and InDesign (formatting and linking) workflow. so now i have bulk files that were used to create InDesign posters (for instance). but this means that there is no organizational feedback to my IMAGE DATABASE in Aperture. i simply store the files in there and then i /export/ them to folders. the folders have organized images for each project and they have all the data associated with the project but this does not translate back to my image database unless i were to then go ahead and IMPORT the exported images from these folders and create a /new/ Project for these images which were used in this particular project.
do you know what i mean? i mean i have a database that organizes my images but then i use them external to this database and i am not going to /manually/ go through the database and TAG the images so i know they were used in so and so project. conversely - it seems like it is asking a lot of me to TAG the images before they go out of the database since i am /working/ and to keep track of all the data i am exporting to the desktop on the chance that i may use it - by TAGGING it for the project so that i can tell what was used in this project by looking in the database - just seems unworkable.
i mean, i have thousands and thousands and thousands of images and i have hundreds of projects and i am trying to figure out if there is a slightly better way to keep all this linked together in some way. right now my IMAGE DATABASE is basically divorced from my PROJECT FOLDERS.
i know that sounds off-topic but this also applies to my videos and slideshows and presentations. right now i have IMAGES organized in Aperture and i use these in a slightly more organized way because i am (now) preparing slideshows in Aperture so i have to organize the images in Aperture. but if i create a KEYNOTE presentation i am /exporting/ the images to the desktop, possibly re-arranging them, storing them in a folder and then creating a KEYNOTE presentation.
all of this seems very hinky and there is also the added problem that i have duplicated my images in many cases with some stored in Aperture and some stored on the desktop when i need them for a project.
i was hoping there was some pro that could tell me - "well, what i do is that i store the files in Lightroom, bridge them lets me see them when in am in Photoshop or AI or InDesign, then i OPEN the file from within Photoshop, edit it and Lightroom SAVES THE EDITED FILE and then i go into InDesign and bridge lets me see the files in Lightroom and i LINK THE EDITED FILE to my InDesgin poster and Lightroom automatically stored all the images for this poster in a dedicated folder for this project.
you know what i mean? i mean, if there was some linked aspect to bridge-LR-AI-PS and InDesign that let me avoid all this exporting from Aperture i would be really happy. then if i could store the resulting ID file or Presentation or Video or whatever with some kind of LINK to the original data this would be a huge improvement over here.

Discover the most efficient method for downloading images into Lightroom and organizing them. Quickly import and manage your photo collection in a library that makes organizing, finding and editing your photos easy.
http://adobe.ly/zQmi8tMs. Kost,
I am an event photographer and new to Lightroom. I just got Lightroom 4 and am just starting to watch your videos. This first one demonstrates your great step by step teaching method that's very informative and I'll be watching more.
As an event shooter, I usually shoot with two cameras, each with a different lens. I would very much like Lightroom to be able to SORT the files from both cameras during the Import phase and order them by the TIME that the shots were taken, or Chronologically, rather than to sort each group of files from each camera individually. Since I do my editing and presenting in chronological order, I would like them sorted as if I shot them all with one camera. My current method is to import to Lightroom after first using Bridge to import to the main SSD drive on my Macbook Pro, although I can change this method if need be.
Is this possible? I didn't notice this option explained in this video if it exists.
Thanks in advance! -
Type display for slideshow and subscribe
Visual concern only, but how do you change the clunky bold helvetica style of the >play slideshow and >subscribe links, and photo captions when viewed in iWeb? I want to make them more subtle, less bold. I can do it in iPhoto, but doesn't seem to translate to iWeb.

no, not visually in iweb but can be changed when the page is online with javascript and understanding of photos page widgets: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/CSSChanged/Photos.html -
Simple way to insert custom Jquery Slideshows and Plugins in Muse
Hi guys, I know the Adobe Muse team is working hard to make this revolutionary tool better by the day. They have done a lot of foundation work to get this tool up to this state. I say congrates guys keep the good work on.
But before we get to the promised land. I know a lot of 'creative non-coders' still want to take up the challenge of doing some cool stuff spread around the internet nowadays such as jquery fullscreen image slideshow, fullscreen image jquery sliders, etc. But Muse is not there yet. I believe the next release will enable designers to take advantage of the height feature missing right now(I just believe so, no insider hint, please don't quote me.).
Okay let me not bore you.
Now I have noticed you can bring any slideshow into Muse if you have the bravery to do it. It's so simple. See this: www.dynamicarchitecturaldesign.com.
The slideshow was a backstretch jquery plugin with some custom javascript to load the page before displaying the page.
The trick is, follow the instruction provided by the author of any of this script, especially the ones relating to the jquery-1.4min.js... jquery-1.7.min.js... upto the latest version that could possibly be available. Note: Adobe Muse also have almost the latest version of the jquery plugin. So after authoring your stuff in Adobe Muse, export as HTML then move and replace any of the code provided by the author of the code you intent to use with the one that Muse generates always:
<script src="http://musecdn.businesscatalyst.com/scripts/1.1/jquery-1.7.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This is often placed toward thge bottom section before the closing </body> and </html> tags. Move it up to the head section using notepad or DW. Though this is not the intended workflow by the Muse team, but it gives you the edge to do stuff you want to do.Okay Maurya, am suggesting the Muse dev team can take a cue from the edge team. In the publishing setting of Edge their is an option for Framework via CDN! Introducing this feature into Muse will go along way to enhance the workflow of psuedo-developers using Muse to cut down on web design time. if I have some jquery codes for slideshows and so on that I have lifted from some places or purchased on the internet, I can conveniently place the codes as usual where they need to be and on export indicate to Muse whether I want it to include its own code:
"http://musecdn.businesscatalyst.com/scripts/1.1/jquery-1.7.min.jswhich has been further modified in the new beta 2 release as:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.location.protocol != 'https:') document.write('\x3Cscript src="http://musecdn.businesscatalyst.com/scripts/1.1/jquery-1.7.min.js" type="text/javascript">\x3C/script>');
</script>
in the export and during publish (a publish setting kinda of could be added to the preference area) or use my own framwork that I have included in the head section. So Muse will not include the above jquery musecdn... in the publish version. That way you are giving us more control and winning more developers over to Muse and of course more money for Adobe .

Condensing and organizing iPhoto library
I'm trying to figure out the best way to condense and organize my pictures that are stored both an internal and external hard drive. I've been reading some different posts and articles to figure out what to do but am still not sure.
I recently just started to keep closer track of the photos on my internal hd by changing their titles, assigning keywords, etc. and want to do that with my photos that are on my external as well. I don't have the hard drive space to import all of these pics back in to iPhoto but thought I could do this is in batches. Once I've imported and organized these as I'd like what's the best way to move these batches back to the hard drive?
I get confused with whether I should just drag the images straight out of iPhoto, drag from the data/original/modified folders (in the iPhoto library) or do I just copy the entire iPhoto library on to the hard drive each time? Would I simply copy over the older version each time I do this? Also if I've read correctly I should be able to choose which library I want to operate from upon start up of iPhoto.....so I could switch back an forth between my older and newer images? Hope this makes sense and thanks for any responses.Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
As you are using iPhoto 6 it’s very easy to simply have 2 Libraries, one on your internal, one on your external drive:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' to make a second Library on your external.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' will allow you to choose which Library to open too.
As you are still using iPhoto 6 keywords added to Photos are not maintained outside of an iPhoto Library. (If you upgrade to a later version you can do this)
drag from the data/original/modified folders (in the iPhoto library)
Never, ever. Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

Relocating and organizing downloaded music into "My Music"
I recently just switched to a mac and I'm having a problem getting Itunes to organize my downloaded music. I have done a search, but haven't found a previous post with my problem. With Itunes on Windows XP, I could download a song into any folder, when I imported the song to Itunes, the song would be "cut" from the download folder and "pasted" into "My Music" and organized by artist.
On my Mac, this is not happening. I go to File>add to library find the song on my HD and press import. The song imports to my itunes song list, however the song remains in the original location. This is very annoying. I like all of my music to be located in "Music" and do not want to have to manually move every song and create folders for each song.
Any help would be welcomed.
+My current itunes settings+
Itunes 8.1.1
Itunes music folder location:
Macintosh HD:Users:ACM:Music:
Keep iTunes music folder organized
Do not copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to libraryI like all of my music to be located in "Music" and do not want to have to manually move every song and create folders for each song
This is what happens on a Mac too. iTunes organises your Music if you ask it to. If you check "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" then your music WILL be organised into folders etc.
However, if you want to organise your own Music, uncheck those two Preferences and iTunes will simply create pointers to all your music without creating an unnecessary copy. You will still only have one copy of everything.
The choice is left up to you. That's the big difference between Windows and Mac. -
New Muse User. I am building my first slideshow and using the Muse Slideshow Widget. I want to build 2 different types of slideshows, one with thumbnails and one without. The documentation and videos are helpful but could not find anything to help me display a caption for each picture. How do I do this?
Hello,
Please check the steps below for both the scenarios
Slideshow with thumbnail:
1. Select the thumbnail.
2. Now the caption that you can see in for the related image of the thumbnail.
3. Edit the caption as you wish.
4. Now if you click on another thumbnail you will observe that the Hero Image and caption test has changed.
5. Change the details as per your requirement/
6. Similarly you can change the cation for rest of the images in the slide show.
Slideshow with-out thumbnail:
1. Go to the slideshow options and check the thumbnail option. (By doing this thumbnails will become visible)
2. Follow the same steps given under "Slideshow with thumbnail" to updated captions
3. Once captions are upto date, go to Slideshow options and uncheck thumbnails.
Please let me know if you have any other query regarding the same.
For more details i would suggest you to check the posts below, this will give you more clarity about captions.

Is it possible to place images within Muse slideshow captions?
