Making image stick to one element of a movie

Hello everyone,
I'm just starting with Adobe Premiere and have come across a big challenge for me now.
I have a very short movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqG6yLnzBR8&feature=youtu.be and a small thermostat on the wall.
THe thermostat becomes bigger and bigger, simultaneously circling. My task is to add a company logo at the bottom of that thermostat.
Obviously the logo must stick to that thermostat and circle with it so that nobody notice that its an applied layer.
Is it possible to achieve that in Adobe Premiere?
Thank You for any piece of advice.

You really are not getting this.
"I guess I am still completely shocked that as a parent we can't download something for everyone to use."
Why do you continue to think this although we keep telling you that this is not the case.
You do NOT have to purchase anything twice. You can share the music with as many ipods as you like in your household.
The ipods are designed to sync with your computer regularly. You should have been syncing these other ipods with your computer all along, thus transferring the purchases to your computer where that music can be synced to as many ipods as you like.
Take on of the ipods with the music in it. Open itunes on your computer. Plug in the ipod. Do not sync. Click File>Transfer Purchases This will transfer the purchases from the ipod to the computer. Make sure that you have authorized your account on the computer: here are directions for that. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
Unplug the ipod.
Plug in the other ipod with purchased music. Do not sync. Click File>Transfer Purchases This will transfer purchases from the ipod to the computer.
You can now plug in any of the ipods, select what you want to sync and sync.
Have a look at the manual for the ipod. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_touch_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

Large Still Images into PE - One Workflow

Everyone wants the highest quality that they can obtain when doing their videos. It’s natural to want the best. Well, when dealing with still images, bigger is not necessarily better, for two reasons. First, overly large still images can really tax a system and second, one is limited to the frame size of the video, so these have to be resized somewhere - this resizing can be in the NLE (Non Linear Editor) program, or in an image processing program like PS (Photoshop), which does a better job anyway. Doing this in PS, or PSE, will result in better resized images, and they are easier for the NLE to work with. Quality is as high as your Project’s Preset will allow, and you are more efficient, with fewer crashes, slowdowns and hangs. It is a win-win situation.
Here is my normal workflow when dealing with still images. This workflow is for NTSC 4:3 720x480 with a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 0.9. If your Project’s Presets are different, use those specs to resize to.
Since I shoot my still images in RAW, I Copy my files from the CF card to my system and catalog these images by location, subject and date (if necessary). I’ll do a quick conversion and Save_As Adobe DNG for backup. I then process these RAW images in PS with the ARC (Adobe Raw Converter), correcting them and then doing a Save_As PSD into a sub-folder. All of this is in my still photo library.
Normally, I will edit these PSD’s to find the images that I wish to use in a Video Project, and will Copy the selected images to another folder. You’ll see that I work with a lot of Copies, so my original files are always untouched and stored elsewhere. This guards against anything happening to them.
At this point, I’ll decide how I wish to use these selected images in my Video Project. Let’s just say that they are all horizontal images, and are still full-size from my camera. As stated, my Video Projects are DV-NTSC 4:3 720x480 PAR 0.9. [Remember, your Video Project may vary, so you will need to plug in the dimensions for YOUR Video Project in that case.] I also will have done my Cropping on each image individually, to get them to 4:3 Aspect Ratio. I do this my eye and by hand, rather than via an Action, because I want full aesthetic control.
In PS, I have a set of Actions for Video. An Action is like a Script, but less powerful and less involved in the writing. As I have already done all of my image enhancements and additional processing before I did my Copy to the selected folder, I only have to worry about my Action resizing these selected images for use in my Video Project. My Action here is to resize to 720x480 with a PAR of 0.9, and I normally use the Action that does this with a particular resizing algorithm, Bicubic-Smoother (though I also use Bicubic-Sharper on occasion).
For the next step, I go to my folder structure (remember, this folder contains copies of my selected still images in PSD format), and create a new sub-folder "[Project Name]_720x480." Back in PS, I choose File>Automate>Batch. Here I set my Source Folder, my Destination folder and the Action to perform. In my case, it’ll be the Destination Folder, that I just created, [Project Name]_720x480, and my Action will be my NTSC 4:3 720x480 Smooth. I check to have the Open command by-passed, because I do not need to see this take place on my monitor. When I hit OK, PS grabs all files in my Source Folder, runs the commands of my Action and does a Save_As for all files into my Destination Folder. I can process hundreds of large images down to a great 720x480 PAR 0.9 via Bicubic-Smoother interpolation, in moments. Now, I’m ready to go. Last, I Copy my Destination Folder to my Video Project’s folder hierarchy (usually on another HDD), and then Import these processed stills into my NLE.
What if I need to pan on one, or more of these images, while they are zoomed out completely? I don’t have enough pixels in my horizontal dimension to do this. I am just filling the frame with my still. Well, if I find that there are such images, I go back to my folder with the full sized images in my still images library, and select the ones that need to be larger. I run another Action on these, but it’s one that resizes to something larger than 720x480, say 1000x750. Now, I have another Destination Folder with the name [File Name]_1000x750. I’ll Copy this over to my Video Project, and Import these into the NLE. Here, I can go to Project Panel and remove the 720x480 versions if I so choose, but since a Premiere Project file (.PRPROJ or .PREL) is only an XML database, I may just leave them. It does not contain any media files, just links to where they are on the system and to what operations are performed on them.
By doing my resizing in PS, rather than in Premiere, I have accomplished two things:
1.) I have better quality resized images, using the algorithms in PS, plus have a choice of several interpolation methods to work with.
2.) I have lessened the processing load on my NLE and on my system, while doing the editing
I get higher quality and lower resource overhead - hence my reference to "win-win."
Now, back to my aesthetic control. I do not do any automatic zooming or panning. If one allows the NLE to do this, then they will want to probably process all of their images to 1000x750 (remember, this is for an NTSC 4:3 Project, so you will need to calculate what YOUR Project will require).
The two programs that I use are Photoshop and Premiere Pro, but Photoshop Elements can do the same things, though the exact commands might be different. Premiere Elements will handle the resized still images, just like Premiere Pro and the only difference will be the terminology used when one wishes to Import the still images.
I also keep all of my images in .PSD (the native format of PS), and do not convert to JPEG, or other. If one’s camera shoots only JPEG, I suggest writing the Action to do the Save_As to .PSD, as another JPEG compression will cost one quality. Yes, the JPEG’s will be smaller, but remember we are looking for the ultimate quality, so larger file sizes are just part of that equation.
One does not have to deal with all of the Copies, as I do. However, this allows me to go back to the originals, or to the processed full-sized .PSD’s at any step along the way. There is only one thing worse than not being able to go back to an intermediate version with full Layers and Adjustment Layers, plus any Alpha Channels, and that is finding out that you’ve lost your original RAW and DNG backups! That’s why I do a lot of Save_As and also work from Copies all along the way.

Your workflow looks good. I do similar, but use PS, in lieu of LightRoom. I also do DNG's for my archives.
Provided that one chooses a JPEG compression algorithm setting that does not do too much compression, I doubt that anyone, but the most very critical, could tell the difference in Video. Most of my tests on PSD vs JPEG have been for print. There, one can more easily detect the differences. Video "hides" some of that.
To date, I have not had a Project where the Asset size differences between equally sized PSD's vs JPEG's caused any slowdown, or problem. There could be a resources savings with the smaller JPEG files, but there is a tiny bit of overhead dealing with the JPEG compression. I have never tested this, so can only guess that the smaller Asset size of the JPEG would trump that overhead - just a guess on my part.
For me, keeping the images in PSD does save a tiny bit of work in my Action (basically one less operation to perform), but I doubt that one could measure that time difference, even over the automation of hundreds of images. Besides, it's only one additional line in the Action. My feelings on JPEG vs PSD is firmly based in my print experience, and I am probably being too critical with images going to video. When I move up to HD and BD authoring, I need to apply a very critical eye, to see if I can tell the differences on an HD TV. So long as one does not apply too much JPEG compression, the differences should be very slight, at the worst, and maybe not even noticed, at best.
I do minimize the impact of many files on my Project by sizing to what I need. If I will not be doing any pans on zoomed-out images, I size to my Project. For pans on zoomed-out images, I calculate just what I will need for those pans, and might end up with several groups of sizes, to accommodate each. Still, the vast majority will be sized to exactly what I need for the Project - very few extra pixels.
In my case, and yours too, I have my RAW, my DNG, my working Layered PSD's, and then my sized output. I always keep all working PSD's, as I might change my mind, or my client might change theirs, and I do not want to have to go back and redo work, if I still have those working files. I also do as little destructive editing, as I can, using Dupe Layers, and Adjustment Layers, whenever possible. If I can, I never Flatten, or Merge Layers, so I can make any/all changes at any time, and only have to do the resizing via the same Actions. That is basically a "one-button" solution, once I have made the changes required.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do you update an intensity plot one element at a time?

I would like to use an intensity plot (or other control) to plot data collected from A/D channels. How do you get the Intensity plot to update one element at a time vs. row by row? Tips and suggestions greatly appreciated!

You will need to use the intensity graph and keep the buffer yourself.
Init the data with background values and start filling then in using
Replace Array subset. Presumably you are in a loop. Recirculate the
data in a shift register adding new data each iteration and plotting the
array to the intensity graph.
Once you get to the horizontal edge, you need to decide if you split the
data to get rid of the first row and append a new background row to the
end making a strip chart, or do you clear the array and start over from
the initial edge again making a scope chart, or do you mod the index
with the buffer size and erase a row at a time in advance making a sweep
chart.
To update the scales, you don't have to change the data. Just write to
the Offset property each time you scroll and it will relabel the data
with 0 mapping to the offset value.

Making images and text scalable in fluid grid

So I'm creating my first Fluid Grid design and I'm having issues with making images scalable and look appropriate. Take a look at this example and the four social media icons on the top right. They're in one div id called sociaLinks. I have in my style_fg.css that the img attribute is set to 3em but that doesn't make the image scale as you resize the browser. I tried doing something like 25% (actually, a little less and I used that figure since there's four images in the div) and that worked in Firefox but in Chrome and Safari, it just appeared as what might as well have been a dot. So how can I make it where the multiple images can scale with the browser?
Likewise, I have a similar issue with making text do the same thing. In this case, my #access div which I'd like the font to resize with the browser. Any ideas on making that work?

You can make images scaleable using CSS3 like this:
div
background-image:url('mypicture.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
You can also use vendor specific code to make this code compliant in browsers that don't have css3 yet:
/* Safari,Chrome */
-webkit-background-size: cover;
/* Seamonkey */
-moz-background-size: cover;
/* Opera */
-o-background-size: cover;
Hope this helps.

Still images get mixed - Premiere elements 9

I make a series of say 3 or 4 still jpg images as titles for my movie. All with identical background but with different text. When I drag them to the timeline the first one persists but the others in the sequence will not show when I play them in the preview window. This does not happen if the images are completley different. Renaming the files has no effect. What is happening?

Bob,
I understand what you mean about the appearance of movie clips in the timeline, I don’t think that is the problem. With every other video editor I have used if I drag a number of still images into the timeline they will all behave like separate clips for however longer I want them and they will each show up in the timeline and in the preview window as I scrub along. At the moment instead of a mini movie of 4 still images I get a movie of the first image in the line repeated for times. The other image files are named in the timelinebut cannot be viewed in the edit and they don’t appear in the saved movie I am doing something wrong somewhere.

Can I download tutorial images for Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 online?

Can I download tutorial images for Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 online?

I'm not sure which images your referring to, unless you mean the ones referenced in the pse 2 help under Photoshop Elements 2.0 Tutorials
(or some that may have been available thru the pse 2 updater)
In the folder that photoshop elements 2 installs into, there are some Samples and Tutorial folders with some of those files.
On a windows machine look in either
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2
Also, on the pse 2 install cd, there are some images in the Goodies>Stock Art folder

Why does one element get repositioned on PDF?

When creating a PDF with "Use document bleed" setting on a certain document, one page of the resulting PDF continually shows just one element (page number, text, line, etc.) repositioned toward the center left edge of the document. Is this a corrupt document? I have tried replacing all elements to no avail. Without that bleed setting it generally exports correctly. The document is 80 pages, lots of overlapping images and transparency.

Ok, I recommend you ask in the InDesign forum. Acrobat has no involvement in the Export PDF function.

How to get multiple elements into one element as multiple occurences

I can't figure out how to do this. I have an input message that has multiple elements and I need to take those elements and copy them into one element with each new element going in as a new occurence or instance. For example
I have this input under one parent node.
element1
element2
element3
element4
and this is the output I need
Node
Element1[0]
Element2[1]
Element3[2]
Element4[3]
The input XML looks like this
Payload
Element1
Element2
Element3
and the output XML needs to look like this
Payload
Element.
Thanks in advance

How to show only one element in drop list(common VO)

Hi All,
I'm using 11g adf jdev.
I have a common view object VO. In this VO one attribute is dropdown list , which i commonly used in some jsf pages .
Now in one particular jsf page i want show only one element in the dropdown list .
how can i handle with out distrib'g the common VO.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

BTW, why you want to display only one item in the list.
If you are sure that the list will be having only one item, why don't you have it as inputText/outputText
How do you filter out the item to be displayed in the list? If that filtering is done on listdatasource bound to the list, the list will automatically show only one item(i.e, the filtered item)

Sequence contains more than one element error in MVC 5

I created some models, added the migration and then did an update database operation, though at my last update database operation I got the error message saying:
Sequence contains more than one element
Below you can find my migration configuration:
context.Categories.AddOrUpdate(p => p.CategoryName,
new Category
CategoryName = "Sport"
new Category
CategoryName = "Music"
context.Subcategories.AddOrUpdate(p => p.SubcategoryName,
new Subcategory
SubcategoryName = "Football"
new Subcategory
SubcategoryName = "Basketball"
new Subcategory
SubcategoryName = "Piano"
new Subcategory
SubcategoryName = "Violin"
context.Services.AddOrUpdate(p => p.ServiceType,
new Service
ServiceType = "Football player",
Category = { CategoryName = "Sport" },
Subcategory = { SubcategoryName = "Football" }
new Service
ServiceType = "Piano lessons",
Category = { CategoryName = "Music" },
Subcategory = { SubcategoryName = "Piano" }
The problem occurs with when I add new Services. I already have categories and subcategories, and if I do like Category = new Category { CategoryName = "Music" } then it works but I get Music entry twice in my database (for this example). I want to
use the already added categories and subcategories. Below also you can find my models definitions.
public class Category
[Key]
public int CategoryID { get; set; }
public string CategoryName { get; set; }
// Subcategory is defined the same way...
public class Service
public int ServiceID { get; set; }

public virtual Category Category { get; set; }
public virtual Subcategory Subcategory { get; set; }
}

Hi,
Use SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION option.
ex: SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 15.
Sample code:
selection-screen: begin of block blk1 with frame.
selection-screen: begin of line.
parameters: R1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP RAD1.
SELECTION-SCREEN position 5.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 6(5) comm1.
parameters: R2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP RAD1.
SELECTION-SCREEN position 14.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 15(5) comm2.
selection-screen: end of line.
selection-screen: end of block blk1.
initialization.
comm1 = 'File1'.
comm2 = 'File2'.

Displaying images in VBOX mxml element

hi,
i am new to flex.i am using flex builder 3.
i want to disply sime images in a VBOX element. i have image URLs and image names with me in an arraycollection. i should disply the images side by side and VBOX should have scroll bar.
thanks
sankar

If you want the images side-by-side, don't you want an HBox? Anyway, here's some code to answer your question.
The scrollbar won't display unless the images do not display within the HBox width. You can force the scrollbar to display always by setting the HBox horizontalScrollPolicy property to "on".
You might want to use a HorizontalList control instead.
Below I have hard coded indexes and also used a repeater in the HBox.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
verticalGap="30">
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
    import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
    [Bindable] private var imgs:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
      {name: "red", path: "images/red.png"},
      {name: "green", path: "images/green.png"},
      {name: "blue", path: "images/blue.png"}
]]></mx:Script>
<mx:HBox>
    <mx:Image source="{imgs.getItemAt(0).path}"/>
    <mx:Image source="{imgs.getItemAt(1).path}"/>
    <mx:Image source="{imgs.getItemAt(2).path}"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:HBox horizontalScrollPolicy="on">
    <mx:Image source="{imgs.getItemAt(0).path}"/>

Displaying images in canvas one after another

Hi all,
I have a problem displaying images in canvas one after another. I am using for loop and when i run the application, all images run back in the and only finally only the last image gets displayed in the emulator. I also used thread.sleep(). But it din't work.
Here is my code:
// A canvas that illustrates image drawing
class DrawImageCanvas extends Canvas
Image image;
public void paint(Graphics g)
int width = getWidth();
int height = getHeight();
g.setColor(0);
g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
String images[]={"paint_2.PNG","radha.PNG","cute.png","design.png","flowers.png"};
for(int i=0;i<images.length;i++)
image = null;
System.out.println("/"+images);
     try
     image = Image.createImage("/"+images[i]);
catch (IOException ex)
System.out.println(ex);
g.setColor(0xffffff);
g.drawString("Failed to load image!", 0, 0, Graphics.TOP | Graphics.LEFT);
return;
if (image != null)
g.drawImage(image, width/2, height/2, Graphics.VCENTER | Graphics.HCENTER);
try
Thread.sleep(5000);
catch(Exception ex)
     System.out.println("the exception is.."+ex);
Help me and Thanks in advance.

See the code below : prefer the use of a Timer and a TimerTask instead of Thread.sleep().
showNotify (from Canvas) is used to launch the timer.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Image;
public class DrawImage extends Canvas {
    Image image;
    String images[] = {"img1.png", "img2.png", "img3.png", "img4.png", "img5.png",
                        "img6.png", "img7.png"};
    Image[] tabImage;
    int imageCounter = 0;
    public DrawImage(){
        try {
            tabImage = new Image[images.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < images.length; i++)
                tabImage[i] = Image.createImage("/" + images);
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
public void paint(Graphics g) {
int width = getWidth();
int height = getHeight();
g.setColor(0);
g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
image = tabImage[imageCounter];
if (image != null)
g.drawImage(image, width / 2, height / 2, Graphics.VCENTER | Graphics.HCENTER);
else{
System.out.println("null");
g.setColor(0xffffff);
g.drawString("Failed to load image!", 0, 0, Graphics.TOP | Graphics.LEFT);
protected void showNotify(){
Timer t = new Timer();
t.schedule(new PhotoSwitcher(), 5000, 5000);
private class PhotoSwitcher extends TimerTask{
public void run() {
if (imageCounter < images.length - 1)
imageCounter++;
else
imageCounter = 0;
repaint();
I hope this will help you !
