Thanks for the reply.
I checked the link that I posted back in post 3 of your thread. It is working with at least Firefox and Chrome.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Motion Tracking/What To Use To Track Object?
What browser are you using?
The blog post contains significant information related to Premiere Elements 12 Motion Tracking. But, if you cannot access it for some reason, then we will need to troubleshoot via communications in the thread.
SG has asked if you are able to create Motion Tracking effect using one of the graphics included with the program. We will watch for your response to him on that question. Please include in your message to him whether you can obtain your file to track the object using Organizer Tab or Project Assets routes as well as Graphics Tab.
The following is an excerpt from the blog post referenced....
SOLUTION
Various tutorials and online comments have pointed to places other than Graphics Tab where objects can be selected and used to track the moving object in the video when the Motion Tracking workspace is opened in the Expert or Quick workspace.
Organizer Tab, Expert or Quick workspace to access Elements Organizer 12. Cascade Windows and drag a video or photo from Elements Organizer into the yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
Project Assets, Expert workspace. Drag text, video, or photos from opened Project Assets into the yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
Graphics Tab, Expert or Quick workspace. Create a png file (graphic) or prtl file (text) and place it in Clip Arts in the Program Files of the program to have a permanent resource. Then from Graphics Tab, drag the newly created graphic or text object into yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
Thanks.

IWork 08 Pages "The media file can't be used because it's corrupt"

I am creating a school Yearbook - lots of photos. Pages has been running really slowly and to add to my problems when I reopened my pages document, most of the pictures on the pages I worked on have been replaced by grey blocks with a question mark in it. I am not able to replace the grey blocks with the pictures that used to be in there as it gives me the error message "The media file can’t be used because it’s corrupt". However, the photos work perfectly well in other Pages documents and other programs such as preview, word and so on...
I am finding the whole experience of working on Pages very demoralizing. Any help out there?

Hi naglechocolate
Welcome to the forum.
Pages is far from a professional DTP program and when you get down to some real world tasks does show more than a few rough edges.
I suspect you may have just pushed it too hard.
As Yvan says it includes the whole image in the document, unlike most DTP programs which work with links. So I would concentrate on not making those images too large.
With a school yearbook, the photos are usually one or 2 standard sizes and need to be printed at a finished resolution of 300dpi, so you can crop and size them before you import them to be most efficient.
*Preview .app* will do this for you for free but there are also 3rd part utilities that can make a much a set workflow out of this often tedious process.

Problem in accessing the media files from another server

Currently I am working in a project with streaming video on demand and using FMS 4.5.
Let’s say the FMS is installed on one machine say ‘121.123.35.34’ and there is another server ‘100.54.88.222’ where all the media files belong. Now we need to point to this third server to play videos from FMS.I have done the below changes:
In the fms.ini file: set the VOD_DIR2 = \\100.54.88.222\myvideos
In the application.xml: Added the stream: <Streams>/hr;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams>
From my application accessing the path of flv as:source= “rtmp:// 121.123.35.34:1935/vod/hr/test” . Not able to access the video.
Note: If I will point to say ‘C:hrvideos’ in VOD_DIR2, then I am able to access the videos using the same URL.
I also tried mapping the shared path to the FMS machine and then given the mapped drive path in the VOD_DIR2, but this also doesn’t work.
Please let me know:
If we need to configure any other parameter to stream videos from another server.
VOD_COMMON_DIR: I modified this similar TO VOD_DIR to location 'C:hrvideos', I am able to stream the videos using rtmp, but not abl eto stream with http.
          Please let me know can we stream using http also as we need this to run f4m manifest file.
          http://121.123.35.34:8134/vod/hr/sample.mp4.
          http://121.123.35.34:8134/vod/hr/sample.f4m
Thanks,

Hi Shiven,
I followed the steps suggested by you:
1) Changed the stream:
<Streams>/hr;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams> to<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR2}</Streams>
But not able to access the video with rtmp:// 121.123.35.34:1935/vod/test
2) For http streaming, changes the HttpStreamingContentPath in hds-vod in the httpd config file, and tried to stream the video like:
http:// 121.123.35.34:8134/vod/test.mp4 or
http:// 121.123.35.34:8134/hds-vod/test.mp4
But not able to load the video.
Please suggest?
Thanks & Regards,
Anjali Rawat

How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?

How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.

I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

How can we change the time of the media file from java code ?

particularly, how can we start the media file from the second 55 and not from the second 0 (beginning) ?

I have a new windows 7 pc and i want to move my iTunes mediathek (Music, movies) to it. by using an external driver (Hd.). But On the new pc iTunes does Not integrales the Media files.

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
Launch iTunes.
That is all you need to do.

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

Different photos with the same file name!! How to change this?

While I was organizing my photos, I realized there are about 30 or so photos that have the same exact file name as another photo. Example: There are two IMG_1243.jpg, but they are different pictures. They were taken at different times, even different years. I have used more than one camera to import photos. I have changed the name of one of the photos in the Title area in the information section of iPhoto. When I try to put the newly named photo into a folder that has the other IMG_1243, I get a message that says" An older item named "IMG_1243" already exists. Do you want to replace it with the newer one you are moving?"
I want to have both IMG_1243.jpg photos in the same folder. How can I do this? Also, I have a few thousand pictures, so how can I tell exactly how many photos have the same file name as another photo?

It sounds like you are using the finder inside the iPhoto library - do not do that - you will corrupt your library and lose the edits, keywords, etc that you have
iPhoto does not care about duplicate file names - it handles it fine
changing the title of a photo does not affect the file name - although when you export the photo you can use the title for the file name as an option
What are you doing and what do you want to accomplish?
Remember do not ever make any changes in the iPhoto library using the finder or any other program

How the media files are stored in Oracle 10g database

I guess they have introduced new datatypes to handle multimedia objects( audio file, video file, images, etc etc). Can anyone tell which is the data type which is used to handle the media files in Oracle 10g database.
thanks,

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Where exactly are the media files kept now?

It used to be simple, the media files were all in the Final Cut Events folders and if you trashed them they were gone.
However, now that I have updated my 10.0.9 projects and events to 10.1, I apparently have identical media files in the "Old Final Cut Projects and Events" folder together with the new Library.
I believe that some of these are symbolic, but which ones?
If I delete something from the "Old Final Cut Projects and Events" folder, will it still be present in the new Library . . . . . and vice versa?
What if I delete both lots?
Where exactly are my old media files?

It's a tricky bit of engineering. If you updated the projects and events and the media was already in the events then the media will appear to be in both plays simultaneously, but only taking the drive space of one. If you delete the old events, the drive space will not go down because the media is still on the hard drive.
Here's the thing, when we say a media file is in a folder, it's not physically in the folder. It's somewhere on your hard drive, wherever there was space when the file was written to the drive. The file structure says they're in a folder or move from folder to folder, but in reality they never move. Only the directory structure changes. That's what's happening here. Both folders, old events, new libraries are pointing to same space on your physical hard drive where the media files are living. Both are holding the media files in their directory. If you delete them both the media will disappear from the directories and that drive space will be freed and eventually get physically overwritten as more stuff is written on the drive.
