Presets for responsive layout

Hi there,
I was doing a tutorial and when arrives the moment to use the presets for responsive layout, the guy on the tutorial has 6 presets and I only have one...
Does anyone know how can I get those presets?
Thanks!

Thats because you have a Stage > Symbol selected.
The tutorial you reference most likely has an image asset selected: which will reveal 6 Layout Presets.
So in your case, if your symbol 'houses' an image you want to apply one of the six Layout Presets, then you need to be in Symbol Edit Mode: simply double click directly onto the Symbol to enter Edit in Place. Then select the image, then choose from the Preset selector.
Hope this helps
Darrell

"Use presets for responsive layout" not working in Chrome

I am building a responsive website. I am going to have parts of the website animated using Edge Animate. I will make the animation and then insert it into a div in the responsive website I am building.
The Adobe Edge animation has a width of 100%, so that it resizes according to the area that it occupies the full width of the div no matter how wide that div may be in px.
It is all working fine, but:
I have an image in the Edge animation that is center aligned. It must stay center aligned no matter what width the animation ends up being.
Within Adobe Edge, in Properties, in Position and Size, there is a option where, if you hover your mouse cursor over the top right button a tool tip says "Use presets for responsive layout"
With the image on the stage selected, I can click on the "Use presets for responsive layout" button and then choose "Centre background Image".
It works perfectly in all browsers accept Chrome (even IE is playing ball this time). In chrome the width of the image stretches out as the div stretches out..
The "Centre background Image" setting says that it won't scale the image. But in Chrome it does.
What can I do to "tell" Edge Animate to center the image but not scale it in the Chrome browser?
I can see that in the image properties it is set to Background image x axis and y axis 50%. And the width is set to pixels. But in Chrome, the image stretches.
If you go to http://www.brainstormadvertising.co.uk/demo/services.html you will see what I mean. The circle image is centering BUT stretching in chrome browsers while centering nicely and NOT stretching in other browsers.

Thank you for your reply Josh. But the point of this setting in Edge Animate is that you can set it up that the background image is center aligned and does not scale. Yet it produces code that gives the width as 21.72%.
A little further along I see background-size: 48px; . This is correct.
So all the browers are reading background-size: 48px; as the scale measurement but Chrome is reading the width only, not the background-width. So this "Use presets for responsive layout" works in all browsers except chrome.
I don't know how to change that code after the artwork has been published. I can see the code using Firebug, but where do I change it in my code on my computer before uploading to the server?
I have reported this bug to Adobe.
Please see the attachment. You can see where all the settings are made and where I am getting a problem.

Best units to use for responsive layouts

Say I want to set margins for an image or padding for a fluid layout div. I'm spooked about using px since those seem so... fixed. So I'm thinking I should use % or maybe ems. I'm just lookling for a best practice here. Thanks!

For my containers/divs I always use % and for text I use ems.

Photogallery for responsive website

This is a question I'm starting to hear more often from my clients: "Why does the photogallery not look right on my smartphone?"
I know that the module uses tables and the basic CSS is not set up for responsive layouts. However, when I opened the modulestylesheets.css file in Dreamweaver CC, there were only two items in the photogallery section of the CSS. I cannot see how to modify the photogallery td's in the css to allow them to function properly in my responsive template.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Also, if Adobe could look into this, it seems appropriate given the direction web is headed! It would be great if all modules were designed to function appropriately within a responsive template.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
Table elements are table elements, you can convert them to block level elements that can be responsive.
Responsive tables in BC
Further to this BC.Next and liquid you can run the module as a collection and completely build a gallery exactly how you want.

Best practice for responsive projects

Does anyone have tips on best practices for responsive project?
I understand that 3 different layouts can be created. What happens if a learner is not using one of the 3 devices that were set up in a responsive project, and their screen size is different from any of those

Jay,
Dr. Pooja Jaisingh offered very valuable tips for good practice in responsive design last week in her webinar. 'Do's and Don'ts of creating Responsive Projects with Captivate 8'. I don't see the recording yet On Demand, but keep an eye on it.
Did you test a responsive project with F11 (Preview in Browser)? You will be able to change the resolution of the browser window and see that the content, if well designed (you can have absolute positioning, size as well) will move, shrink to adapt. The break points (3 devices) allow you to make more invasive changes at those points: dragging some objects out of the stage in the scratch area because they take up too much space for phones is one example. Or replacing a big screenshot with many details by a zoomed in detail screenshot for the mobile breakpoint. That is my way of explaining, responsive is not just have the three layouts for devices, it is also adapting between those breakpoints.

DW CC Fluid grid layout how to change px width for desktop layout

Hi there,
I have been going through the various tutorials about fluid grid layout and setting up our bureau's website in a responsive layout.
The width of the original design was 960 px and the hero pic and others have been exported at that size.
The first divs in the design look fine, header with the 960 px pic in it, and also the BC menu which is set to 960 wide.
However the body text goes out to the right, past the 960 px and this is because, right at the start, when starting the file in DW the desktop screen width is set to 1232px.
How can you change this setting when starting a new fluid grid layout?
I have tried changing the number of columns, or the percentage, and the width for desktop remains at 1232px.
Why is this?
Not all of our clients want a site 1232px wide on a pc.
Thanks so much.

Hi Ben and Nancy,
Thanks for your replies, but maybe you both don't realise I am asking specifically about DW CC and setting up a responsive design using a fluid grid layout?
I have been following the recent videos from Adobe on this.
As far as the width of 960 goes, Nancy I am only shortchanging myself, as this is the website for our agency. The original design is 960px wide as I did read somewhere that this width is recommended now that responsive is coming, as it is easily divided into a grid layout. I also am quoting for a client at the moment who wants a responsive design for their website, and they have specifically requested that the site have a maximum width of 960 px. So I would like to find out if this is possible in DW CC at the moment when doing a fluid grid layout.
So what I am trying to do here is follow the Adobe tutorials on responsive design, using DW CC and I am using the current design for our agency website as a trial to set this up and try and get it working as a responsive website.
It does not seem to me that many other people are doing this, as most people are recommending that I try Github or Bootstrap.
However, I am not a coder and I am used to using DW, so I would like to get the DW CC responsive design features working if possible.
Ben the CSS you are looking at is being generated by DW CC as I follow the steps in the Adobe demonstration videos to set up a fluid grid layout in DW CC.
One of the things they say in the videos is that you can't program the CSS directly when doing a fluid grid layout, or you break the CSS and it all stops working. So I am using the new panels in DW CC to set up the layout. One thing I cannot get access to is the ability to set a maximum width for the site. It seems to be set in concrete when you start the fluid design up in DW CC.
Here is a pic of the screen I am talking about that sets the maximum width:
I cannot click in the pixel width at the top and change it. Also if I adjust the number of gridlines or the percentage for the pc layout, the default maximum pixel width does not change.
If you click on the preferences button and go into the Window sizes screen, there does not seem to be a way to set the maximum pc width here either, so I am a bit stumped.
Maybe I just have say to my clients that if you want a responsive design then the max width for pc can only be 1232px? It does seem strange to me that this cannot be changed.

Tables colpsan rowspan vs Div in a responsive layout

Hi all
I am new to web design and was wondering can you use tables in a responsive layout?
All I need is a website layout that you can view in a tablet and PC for I've already have a mobile site
Thanks everybody

Tables are for tabular data only -- spreadsheets and charts. They are not well suited for web page layouts of any kind. Tables pose several challenges in Responsive Web Designs. I try to avoid using them if I possibly can mainly b/c they stop resizing on smaller viewports. Boostrap offers a few ways to present tables responsively -- with collapsed regions and/or horizontal scrollbars.

Another option might be to create a pseudo-table with Definition Lists.

Responsive layout design

Hello dreamweavers.
I have a question regarding responsive layout which is regarding to dimensions, I see a lot of post on the net with does and don'ts, that's why I'm asking for a
more professional and formal advice. So my question is, if I set up a design page for example 1400 width x 1000 height or 1600 width x 1400 height, would both
dimensions be able to be coded responsive in order to take up all devices? can a web designer make it responsive regardless its layout dimensions ir is there a specific dimension when it comes to responsive layout,
and what would that be?
Thank you.

Thanks for the information Nancy. Just one more thing Id like to ask. Would setting up as default dimensions the 960 GRID system be ok, and then
the developers can use % for the rest of the devices?
Yes,
Set a container wrapper to max-width: 960px;
Like:
#containerWrapper {
max-width: 960px;
width: 96%;
margin: 0 auto;
Any screen which has the real estate to accommodate 960px width will get that. As the screens real estate gets narrower the design adjusts to suits its width.
Obviously if you just have a one column design that's the job done but you will no doubt have multiple columns so you then need to use media queries to change the properties of the css as the browser window becomes narrower to make the design look nicer.

Responsive layout template problem

I created a master page with a responsive layout and then saved as template.
I then went to assets and created "new from template" a new page.
When I save this page as index.htm I get the following error message:
Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded.
Pressing OK then brings up another error box with the following message:
While executing onLoad, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
At line 591 of the file "c:\program files (x86)\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\Configuration\Commands\dmxUpdateHead.htm":
The object is not currently contained in a document.
My website files being developed are on F: drive so I guess this is something to do with the system files.
USING CS6 / BOOTSTRAP2 / WINDOWS 7
No idea what to do... Welcome any advice.
Thank you in advance for feedback
Terry

You will get this problem because Automatic File Update has been selected. Click the checkbox to unselect and all is well.
The reason is that the Bootsrap extension tries to refresh the association of the necessary files and the template system rejects this because the associations are located in a non-editable area.
The above dialog can be found by clicking Commands->DMXZone Bootsrap Options.

Create a photo montage showing responsive layouts

Hello,
Photoshop forum suggested I move over to the DreamWeaver forum for this. I am a web designer. I'd like to show a thumbnail view of the responsive sites I've created on my own website that shows a particular site (using the actual URL) in a montage of different responsive layouts. It's a common montage. Is there a way to generate this using a URL, some tool or software? I do not want to create a slideshow. I first went to Photoshop because one company told me that's what they used to create this. I'd like to keep it simple and have Googled exhaustively to no avail.

There is an extension for Google Chrome that takes responsive captures.

Responsive layouts and expanded form options

I love that paralax scrolling has been added to Muse. Responsive layouts and allowing uploads in forms would be top of my list for upgrades. Appreciate how far this program has come from it's first beta release, keep it up.

Unfortunately there is no feature for creating Formscentral Forms that behave the way DW fluid grid design elements do. Basically Formscentral outputs HTML for one size form only. You can embed this HTML in your DW site and play with the fluid grid settings but as far as Formscentral is concerned you can only specifiy one size form at design time.

Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?

I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders,
Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception.
Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base. I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen. Is there a better option? I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR. I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
(And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

VDRAVES
Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
Before
After
It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
(without overdoing it to get black borders again).
After and an adjust
Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
Thank you.

Is there a way to create a preset for drop shadows?

I'm setting up a template for a new brochure that will need drop shadows on every product that is being placed. Is there a way to save a preset for a drop shadow so I need not have to recreate the shadow every time? Also this is being distributed to many people to work on and effects presets would be hugely beneficial-just not sure if that is possible? Although it is Indesign, and they are usually on the up and up for this kind of thing.
Thanks!
FF

The Eyedropper Tool is a quick way of applying the same drop shadow to many objects
But as peter says object styles is a much simplier way.

How to create a preset for computer output of 1024x768?

I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 1.0 (yes, 1! :) ) to PE7. I record user group meetings for my local software developers group. We have screen capture at 1024x768 pixels and audio.
In PE1 I had no trouble bringing this footage in, editing it and exporting it as 1024x768 for viewing online by the members.
However, I can't seem to find anyway to create a project preset for 1024x768. It seems I can only create SD, HD and similar.
When attempting to create a custom preset 90% of the values are pre-filled with settings and I can't change them. I see textboxes for the height and width but I can't change them.
Is this a limitation of PE7? Why in the world can I not create a video any size I want? Without this ability the upgrade is almost useless to me.
Please let me know because I feel like I must just be missing something.
Thanks!
Matt

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I did see the 720p preset and this does produce a nice image. The SD preset made the output look muddy and the screen text was unreadable.
That being said, when importing my media into a project on the 720p preset I get the black letterbox bars on the side.
I did render a 10 second test area and changed the output size to 1024x768. I was afraid it would squash the entire video, but much to my surprise it just cropped it. So, while I have to work with the letterboxing I can output an actual 1024x768 video. I was also having a little trouble because I was using File - Export Movie to, well, export my movie. When I tried the Share task, set it to PC and changed the settings this was much easier and produced a much better result.
Thanks for the help!
FYI, I use PE7 to export it as a wmv. I'm playing with Expression Encoder to then encoded this with VC-1 for Silverlight clients.
