Movement over scanned text pages - question...

this might be something kind of simple, but i can't figure out the correct terminology so that i can search for some tutorials to learn it... (i'm not lazy!)
here's what i am trying to do:
create an animatic out of scanned storyboards for a film. so far i have the scanned images in the correct type of sequence.
next i want to add the actual script pages as text that will read out over / superimposed over the drawings.
so i printed out the script pages and then scanned them in as TIFF files at a very high resolution ( i wanted the texture of the paper and the ink to look real)
the scanned script pages look great, when you zoom in, they are crisp and clear and textured...
HOW do i create these text effects. i want single lines, or groups of lines of text to read out. i know how to do movement over stills, but i think what i need to do is create some kind of mattes along with that... (have you ever seen the screenwriting awards at the Oscars? where they show the script pages imposed over the actual film? that is the type of effect i am going for...)
if you know what i am trying to do here and can suggest, or give me the proper search terms so that i can find some youtube tutorials, i would be very grateful.
thanks
keith

I can't think of a specific tutorial, but I with a simple Google search, there's quite a few:

Text Replacement in scanned page question

I must be doing something incredibly wrong because I cannot get text to be replaced in a scanned OCR document. I am using Acrobat Pro 9.
Before getting to that, let me ask this question: If I am scanning a document created using a readily available font like Times New Roman, why does Acrobat even bother using the scanned page for displaying text? It knows the text, the OCR was 100% accurate. Why not replace the 300 dpi scanned bitmap image with real, vector-based text? I don't understand that.
OK, now to just trying to replace what amounts to fuzzy looking text with vector text. I've read how to replace text using Tools-> Advanced Editing-> TouchUp Text Tool where I select text, right click on it, go to properties and change the text. Here's what happens when I do that:
First off, the defaults in the properties dialog are set to no fill and no stroke. Why is that? If you're changing your font, wouldn't you want it to show?
After making a selection and closing the dialog, the text indeed changes, but the original, fuzzy text is there as well. And, as there are slight differences in font size, the page is virtually unreadable as it has the appearance of being printed twice with different alignments each time.
This is, of course, quite useless. I MUST be doing something wrong.
Of course, taking even this course of action is pretty frustrating, as the document I'm working on has many statements in bold, so doing a global font change isn't even practical. I really just wish acrobat would know that it can display vector text from the get-go, and forego the bitmapped text altogether.
Thanks, I hope my frustration isn't too evident!

How can I type over existing text on a web page?

I would like to be able to type over existing text on a web page. This can be done by hitting the "insert" key in several applications; however, it does not work in Firefox.
I'm running Firefox 31.0 and Windows 7.

Unfortunately that is not possible in Firefox.
The insert key is not supported (i.e. Firefox is always in insert mode), so you will have to delete the old text and type the new text.

How can I select adn enlarge the entire document/image on a page, reducing the the surrounding boarder? I can move the different text and image boxes around independently of each other but the outer most boarders of the main template block appear to be fixed. I thought I would be able to enlarge or reduce my document from 'page layout' but this does not seem possible.

How to move over text in a sub-menu --

Hi - I hope someone can help me because I'm stumped. In my previous post:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1669049?sr=stream
...the forum team helped me figure out how to fix bullets in a list. But now someone else brought it to my attention and I tried to fix it but cannot figure it out. Now the sub-menu words are way too close to the left edge of the main navigation:
So I'm not sure what to do to leave the bullet lists, which work great, alone but how to fix those sub-menu words to move them over to the right away from the left edge. Here's the main CSS file and the change I made from the previous post starts at line 432:
https://dev3.orr.noaa.gov/sites/all/themes/creative-responsive-theme/style.css
Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks.

Hi Ken,
The reason why the -11 is there is because in a previous post:
Bullets in list aren't displaying - can't figure out why
I added it to fix the bullet lists so that the text wraps and the bullet lists line up like they should. When I added it, though, it's now affecting the navigation.
UPDATE - I was able to pinpoint the exact code that affects the sub-menu text. The code is the CSS file is:
#main-menu li li a {
color: #C5C5C5;
min-width: 150px;
margin: 0;
background: #1e272e;
border-top: 1px solid #333;
font-size: 11px;
text-align: left;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 3% 5%;
font-weight: normal;
The way I confirmed that the above code is what I need to fix is I changed the font size to 16, just to see what would happen and here is the result I got:
So that above code seems to be the code that will affect the layout of the sub-menu words that I'm trying to move over a little bit from the left margin. Then I tried to tweak the margin and padding. I first added 10px to the left margin like this (margin: 0 0 0 10px) and that did not work. I then tried to add 1% to the padding and that did not work either. So I'm really stumped about how to move those sub-menu words over from the left a little bit. Any ideas?

(When I have several pages open, if I move the cursor over a firefox page it automatically takes me there.

When I have a Firefox page open filling the screen, and open an IE page in a smaller form, when my cursor happens to go over the Firefox page, the IE page is minimized.

Why is it blank when i type and only when my move over what i have typed I can see the words in a violet bloc?

I cannot see the text I type on my newly installed pages 0.8. When I move with the cursor over the text I get a bloc in violet showing the text I just typed. But I only have a blank screen as I type, regards danny

PDF text pages in iPhoto books

I'm not sure that this is a problem. I just want reassurance before I click the ORDER BOOK button and buy the iPhoto book I have created.
I have imported PDF pages of text into the book, as I was able to get more control over the text layout that way. However, when I proof a PDF-text page, it looks more blurry and pixellated than standard, typed-on-the-page text, as if the resolution is not quite so high. It is perfectly legible, just a shade less sharp.
Is this likely to be a resolution matter with my printer, or will the text be marginally more blurry in the printed book's PDF pages, too? If blurry is the answer, is there anything I can do before ordering the book to get the text looking just as sharp on the PDF pages as on the non-PDF, direct-to-page, text?
Many thanks in advance.

In PS under Edit->Color Settings Working Spaces set Grayscale to Dot Gain 20% and set the RGB menu to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. This is for future uses.
Now open each file in PS CS2 from withing iPhoto, go to the Image->Mode menu and select RGB. Save the changes, Command+S, and that's it. The photo will then appear normally in iPhoto.
Here's how to use Photoshop from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you ever do any scanning of B/W photos always scan as color.

Upload quicktime movies over IP

Question is, can you upload quicktime movies over IP. If so, What codec is the best for uploading and playing. Also, can Apple TV automatically play multiple playlists.
The reason that I asked is that I want to replace our Digital Sign-age displays with quicktime movies that play all day.
Thanks in advance.
Gene

You can only upload to AppleTV via iTunes (iTunes machine on same wireless/wired network rather than a USB connection like an iPod). You can't log into AppleTV using a web page and upload video to it remotely if that's what you want to do.
Unfortunately it doesn't even do video/movie playlists let alone multiple ones.

How to display item when mouse moves over Column value??

Hi there
It would be helpful if you could resolve the following :
i) I need to display the column 'A' values of my report in a Text field when mouse moves over column B of my report.
ii) I can able to display the same column value when mouse moves over or onclick happens. but my requirement is something like i have to display the other column value when mouse moves over.
iii) Also i noticed that, i can able to display the item only on "Display only Item" and not on Text field.
Any pointers to display my column value in Text field when onclick happens on my report column?
iv) One more thing that i noticed, i can able to perform onclick or mouse over only on Editable column and not on
non editable columns.
Any pointers on how to achieve the same when mouse moves over Non editable column of report?
Reference: I have created a dummy application (refer the following link), where i can able to display column value Salary on display only item using mouse move Event.
My requirement: when i click column Ename , the text field should show salary.

Vijay,
If you use Jquery then this should do the trick.
$(document).ready(function() {
   $(".t20Report t20Standard tr").hover(function() {
     $("#P2_SALARY").attr("innerHTML",$(this).find("td:last input").attr("value"));
{code}
after looking at the source of your page it seems that your class for your report region is *class="t20Report t20Standard"* I am not 100% sure but you might have to correct that in the template. I am not sure how the selector will handle the space in the class name.
Hope this helps,
Tyson

Creating a Simple Slideshow w music as a movie for a web page.

Hi all,
I would like to create a simple slideshow with music saved as a mp4 movie for a web page. I'd like to use basic transitions like crossfades between the pictures and other fun stuff
A few questions:
1 - Would I be better of creating this in iPhoto or iMovie or Keynote?
2 - Any hints in getting started?
note: I guess I'll post this on iPhoto area also...

You are probably better off in iMovie. You will have a lot more control. With iPhoto, as far as I know, all slides would have to be the same length, and you would need to pick music from iPhoto. With iMovie, you can customize slide length, make them change on the beat, use your own music, etc.
I would use Keynote only if you want to include text and bullets where the photo is only part of the slide.

How can I move then main text in the San Francisco - CV? I moved my name (the box) and adress by just moving them up. But cant move the text!?

Hi how can I move the main text in the "San Fransisco CV" up.
The name thats in the "box" as the "adress" ect, is easy to move up...
But the main text please...
BR,

David,
The various templates in Pages seem to have been designed by individuals without much guidance or mandate for standard approaches to layout. In a way, tha's good because you have a variety of philosophies to choose from.
The message is that you can't take what you learned here and assume that all the templates work this way. I answered your question by turning on the Layout View and looking at the Inspectors to see what controls had been used.

How to make the background move over when a movie clip hits the edge

ok so the idea here is to make a page with written content on it. the conent will not be able to be seen unless the user hits the arrow keys on there key board. So i need to make a group of objects i can make into a movie clip and than inside that movie clip make an animation that plays the squirrel running. i will pause here to ask two things i dont know how to do i want the squirrel to have an animation when standing still where it flicks its tail (like a real squirrel would). and also how would i flip the squirrel so when the left key is pressed it points left and when the right arrow is pressed it faces left? and my main question when it reaches the edge of the stage the extended background that runs off stage moves over to reavel more content. as well as not have the squirrel run off stage? in short i am using the squirrel to view the full pages content.

You're asking for quite a bit and aren't likely to get anyone to hand you a detailed solution. Here's some things to think about.
As far as flicking the tail goes, that's something you'll have to work out as an animation. You could do it as a timeline animation and/or as a coded animation where you adjust the rotation and other properties of the tail.
Getting the object to face left and right ican be a simple matter of changing its xscale property from 1 to -1 depending on which way it normally faces (1).
If you don't have a problem making the squirrel move to the edge, then you should have no problem making the background move either. You just need to continually check the squirrel x property to know when it hits the edge. Personally, I would only move the background and leave the squirrel in the center.
