Pixelated Box Effect, How to do it?
I used virtual dub to make a video as small as possible, like 50x50 pixels. Then when I open it, of course the video is small, but good quality. I want to get a pixelating box effect, so I just opened it using full screen on my laptop then I get it. The effect is there, but not the default windows size is not. Now I was wondering if there is a method of the video opening at a 500x500 (enlarged) with the video pixelating effect which you get from manually enlarging the player window by default?
I have tried manually making it 50x50 pixels, then using WMM & Premiere to set the pixels to 500x500 so that when I open the video file it does open to the screen size I want, but the video does not turn out boxy like I want. Vd, WMM, Premiere Pro CS3 all go and "smooth" out the boxed effect for me. I am trying to recreate a scene with box effect. How to go about it?
I am not sure if I have explained it well, but there it goes
Thank you for your help
There is a problem with that. I have not tried mosaic, as I want the pixelation to be natural, not some kind of permanent square boxes on the footage. I will be doing an video enlargement of different pixels, having a boxed effect is not what you see in normal poor quality video.
I tried the second way, but CS3 does not allow me to enlarge it by more than 200% of the original size. a 50x50pixels will only get at best is 100x100pixels. Thats what made me move onto WMM in the first place. There is a big black frame around the video where the areas which you could not get the original footage bigger than that 200%. I have tried with different video resolutions, seems that the 200% resizing is a software limitation.
I know the idea of the limitation is I would not get any kind of "viewable" video, but thats what exactly I want. Also even though it appears pixelated during editing, after rendering, CS3 still "smooths" out the box effect for me.

This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!
Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height -
in iPhoto 09 Info does not show tags on aperture, time, iso etc. Other tags like place, pixels are shown. There is no little arrow on this info menu to go to full info box. How come ?
It does. Photos Menu -> Show Extended Photo Information.
Then note the disclosure arrows as indictaed in this thread:

How do I use Pixel Bender effects?
So I've installed the Pixel Bender Toolkit. How do I use .pbk effects in After Effects CS4?
Mylenium is right. You work with effect plug-ins written with Pixel Bender the same way that you work with effect plug-ins written in C/C++. All of the information that you need should be in the
"Plug-ins" section of After Effects Help. In the comments of that section, there are some links to Tom Beddard's site, where he has some great examples of Pixel Bender effect plug-ins. Tom gives detailed instructions about installing his Pixel Bender effect plug-ins, if you really want to see it laid out step by step. -

White box effect in documents with transparency
how do i get rid of the white box effect when placing images from photoshop whith transparent backgrounds?
Save it as a TIFF or PSD with transparency ticked.
If you are going to include things like text layers, vector masks, or vector shapes in photoshop - best to save as a PDF with photoshop editing capabilities.
But pure raster documents, TIFF or PSD is preferred. -

No, but do not simply move files around else you will have a lot of grief...
Do NOT move files then change iTunes prefs to a new location as this will not work.
Quit iTunes.
Copy your entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (and everything inside it) on your C: drive to the E: drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you copied to the E: drive.
That is all you need to do. You do not need to change any other settings. -
my ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work or the box, so how do i get the serial number?
If you registered it, Apple can help you. Give them a call.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries. -

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences -

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?
The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up. Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog. It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge -
