Problem exporting flv from AE CS4

Hi, I havent been able to export a flv with alpha transpaerncy.
Here is my setup, I have a .mov in my composition, I apply the lumakey filter to remove the white background, the problem is cant export the flv with the transparency, yes I am using the On2VP6, but I cant select the RGB + Alpha option, and I cant select the Million Colors + option neither.
I am not sure what else to do, because I am new to AE, it used to be very easy in CS3
Any help will be much appreciated

What exact steps are you taking?
Don't use the File > Export menu.
You should be rendering and exporting using the render queue. Choose FLV as the format in the Output Module Settings dialog box, and then click the Format Options button. To include the alpha channel in the FLV output, use the On2 VP6 codec and select Encode Alpha Channel in the Video tab of the export settings dialog box.

Problems exporting Video from Photshop CS4 extended

Hi Guys
I have a multilayered psd file (RGB 8 bit, 955 px x 600 px) and have created an animation (8 seconds) using the animation panel in timeline mode. File consists of 4 image layers and 3 text layers. When I choose File/export/render video, The quicktime options are grayed out and all I can do is render jpgs from the sequence.
Any ideas? I know that I have done this about a year ago without problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mathias...I think.
Anyway, I figured out my problem and wanted to share in case anyone else runs into this.
I was working on a new laptop (purchased expressly for CS4). After pulling what little hair out that I have left this morning, I decided to try it on my desktop machine. Lo and Behold, Quicktime options were available.
Idiot that I am, I assumed (yeah I know) that Quicktime would have been pre-installed on the laptop. Welllllll no, I didn't have Quicktime installed at all.
Installed Quicktime and all is well.
Thanks for your help. If you need me, I'll be sitting in the corner wearing a dunce cap.

Problems exporting pdf from indesign CS4

when I export a pdf using flattening the pdf contains lines (1 pixel) that contain 1-2% more black. The image used in the file (see below) is a transparant psd on a gradient.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thank you
Jeroen

Just because a printer demands flattened transparency in PDF files they accept, doesn't mean that it is proper practice. Flattened transparency and lack of full color management requires what is effectively a highly device dependent PDF file where you know exactly what the device's color space and resolution are at the time you perform the transparency flattening. As far as we are concerned, any print service provider that refuses a properly created PDF file with live transparency and color management is a print provider, where the word service is definitely not appropriate. Such printers would rather blame you, the customer, for problems as opposed to using their professional skills and provide service to you.
Although Adobe is a vendor member of the Ghent PDF Workgroup (in fact, I am Adobe's representative to that group), Adobe does not endorse use of its PDF/X Plus standards and settings until such time such standards and settings are based on PDF/X-4. Such a change is supposed to occur within the next year.
In terms of the actual artifacts you are seeing, do the same artifacts show when you print to a local PostScript printer?
What do you see and how does it print if you export using the PDF/X-4 settings?
And finally, to respond to Peter Spier's comment, I highly doubt that TIFF or PSD would make any difference in theory (although I have learned that you can't always count on theory ).

Exporting JPEGs from InDesign CS4

I've exported jpegs from InDesign CS4 for years and each time I get an Export JPEG dialog box that gives me the option to adjust the resolution. Suddenly, when I export to JPEG, I get no dialog box and it automatically creates a JPEG at 300 dpi. I've looked everywhere in Preferences to see if I inadvertently changed settings, but I find nothing. Help?

Can't export .flv from FCP!

Hello, I am new to these forums and to flash so any help is appreciated.
Here's my problem. I am trying to export a .flv from FCP. I know that I can't do it directly so I was able to get my hands on a copy of Flash CS4 from my boss. I installed it onto my computer but none of the export options have been updated to included the .flv option. I am pretty sure that I have to install a plugin or something but I am not sure what or where that info is?
Also, what will yield a better looking video? Exporting from FCP to Compressor? or Exporting a QT reference video and using Adobe Media Encoder?
Thanks for the help.

Perhaps we're just arguing about semantics, but the fact is that it will play successfully in the flash viewer and I have been delivering h264 files to webdesigners for the last 6 months which are simply renamed with the flv extension. And if this is what the OP needs to do, it will work for him. Do some searching here and you'll see this is common practice. If you look at what formats the last few iterations of the flash player will accept, you'll see h264 is fine.

Exporting workflow from PP CS4 for intermediate files

Hi there,
I have native footage from Sony EX1 (mp4 or MXF container with mpeg 2 long GOP codec) which I cut and slightly filter/modify in Premiere Pro CS4.1.
Most times I shoot in 1080/50i (yes, I need that format) and need both: FullHD for Blu-ray and PAL-SD for DVDs of the same footage.
Most of you will confirm, that simply downscaling with AME gives terrible results. So I use eg. Dan Isaacs great workflow with VDub and AviSynth to deinterlace and downscale and then encode with TMPGEnc Xpress for DVDs. This gives somehow good results but I am unsure, if I am doing right.
Here is the problem: CS4 does not allow debugmode frameserver anymore so I have to render an intermediate file for further use eg with AviSynth.
But how do I get fully valid intermediate video files out from CS4? Uncompressed AVI is pure horror, its slow rendering, even on an i7-PC, and giant in file size. I would like to export with HuffYuv or Lagarith codec, for example. But everybody says, EX1-footage is, as all HD footage, TopFieldFirst. When exporting "Microsoft AVI" with those codecs one has to choose BottomFieldFirst - all other tries result in black video. I assume only BFF is valid in Microsoft AVI, somehow.
I would like to use Cineform but converting footage with NeoScene is only possible from HDV/AVCHD-camcorders and when exporting with its codec as Microsoft AVI it has the same BFF-only-problem. And I cannot afford NeoHD which would do my job perfectly with EX1-footage.
How the heck do you export HD footage (with TopFieldFirst) for further use from PP CS4, please?
Any hint is appreciated, at the moment I am lost,
thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Ann,
I use MPEG2 as the codec. When you set M and N frames to 1 in the export settings dialog, you get an I-frame-only MPEG file. That's essentially an intra-frame compression as opposed to MPEG2 DVD encoding, which is a temporal, inter-frame compression (and very lossy). When I set the bit rate for the I-frame-only MPEG2 file to 100 Mbps, it's visually lossless. I set the Profile to 4:2:2 to preserve the color data and the Level to High to allow the very high bit rate.
Sources for my tests have been AVCHD footage from a Panasonic HMC-150 camera (not mine, unfortunately!) and some AVC and MPEG2 HD transport streams. I've tested 1080i60, 1080p24, 1080p30, 720p60, 720p30 and 720p24.
I don't use MRQ to export the intermediate because no scaling or deinterlacing needs to be done to the HD footage. The intermediate file gets exported at the same frame size and field order as the source. All of the scaling and deinterlacing (if necessary) is done by the hd2sd script in AviSynth. So my intermediate exports run just a bit faster than real time on my 8-core system.
(Big kudos again to Dan Isaacs not only for the hd2sd script, but for giving me the proper settings for the MPEG2 intermediate export.)

Problems printing PSD from Photoshop CS4

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Tech support put me on hold for about 30 minutes to 'look up my serial number'. When he came back he started saying he did find my serial nu..... and he hung up. I had already given him my callback number. Yet he never called me back when we were 'disconnected'. There is no excuse for him not calling me back. I have no reason to believe this was anything other than intentional avoidance of the problem. Before he started looking up my serial number, he told me that Photoshop didn't support working with files on a network drive (???). He also told me that even if it was found to be an actual defect in the product, I still owed the $39. The $39 was "not for finding the defect... it was for the technician's time.... (???) Where do they find these people to answer the phones?
Sorry about the venting... I'm just losing money by the day, and I get to pay for these kinds of moronic statements.
Here's the situation, yet one more time.....
1) I complete a PSD file and save it
2) I print it on one of the printers accessible by that machine
3) I then try to close the PSD, but it says the 'file has changed' The ONLY thing that has changed is that I PRINTED it. So you can't tell me PS is not saving at least something about the printing task in the file
4) If I say 'no' to the save-after-print question, I can go to another computer, open the same file and print with no problem
5) If I say 'yes' to the save-after-print question, and I go to another computer and try to print the file, I get the "In order to perform printing tasks you must define a printer" message
6) This scenario applies to any machine. Once I hit 'save' after printing, that PSD can now never be printed on any other machine other than that one.
7) And this is a user problem (???)
Somebody please tell me:
1) why PS marks a file 'changed' and requires saving after doing nothing other than printing it if it is not saving printer history/setup in the file?
2) Why I can print the PSD from any computer with PS installed as long as I don't do a save after printing from one, but as soon as I do a save after print, the file is basically locked permanently to that one machine forever?
Right... and they want a minimum of $39 to tell me a) this is a user problem, b) Photoshop doesn't support files on a shared network drive; c) "...NO.... we don't save printer information in the file, and d) get hung up on with no callback.
I have 40 years of experience in software architecture and development. I know enough to know a little bit about how these things work. And I also have been around long enough to recognize intentional denial of a product defect by the support team.

Export CMG from Illustrator CS4

Is it possible to export a CMG file format from illustrator CS4 or any earlier versions of illustrator.

Describe EXACTLY (step-by-step) what you are doing. Your description is ambiguous.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
aren't pixels the same?
Depends. If you are talking about "pixels" in reference to Illustrator's page rulers, no. Setting Illustrator's rulers to "pixels" does not set them to pixels. It sets them to Points. For example, if you..:
1. Import a 100 x 100 px PNG file into Illustrator.
2. Scale it to 50%.
...then Illustrator's rulers, set to "pixels" will indicate that the PNG "measures" 50 px. Illustrator's rulers are displaying an object measure, not the number of actual pixels contained in a raster object.
If you are talking about exporting an Illustrator file as a PNG, then its number of pixels will depend on the settings you use when you export.
So again; describe fully and precisely what you are doing.

4:3 Export Query from Premiere Cs4

Hi there.
Im looking for some advice on best export setting from premiere please.
Basically I am making some visuals for a 12x9 screen and the visuals have to fit exactly onto the screen as there is a certian degree of mapping going on. I am editing using the project settings DV PAL 48khz
I'm wondering is it better to export as
720x576 (D1/DV pal 1.0940)
or
768x576 (square pixels 1.0)
I am a bit confused as to which will fit exactly to a 12x9 screen
I will be playing the visuals Directly from my laptop via Vga cable.
Any advice is welcome thanks!

Sorry I dont understand. Do you mean the resolution of my source media?
It is all of varying sizes and resolutions but I am editing in a 720 x 576 sequence.All of the footage is being scaled up or down (depending on the size) to fit exactly (hopefully) the 12x9 screen
I Have put in a 4:3 guide frame in the preview window to lay clips on. This leaves a small black border at either side as a I am not editing in a 4:3 sequence I suppose.

Problems with flv and dreamweaver cs4

Hi
out of flash cs3 I generated a flv
with adobe media player all is ok I could see the flv
but when I import the flv into dreamweaver cs4 I get the picture below that means there is no flv
http://s7.directupload.net/...841/tskdqo9d_png.htm
I did this tutorial with the same result
www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_tutorial.html
what is that - what am I doing wrong ???

A picture of a ... a ... video game? ... advert means there is no flv?
How about posting the URL to your actual page rather than what ever that directupload.net image was supposed to be? It will help us to help you.
Meanwhile, I will make a simple guess based upon many similar questions.
Did you remember to upload the Scripts folder?

Problem exporting mail from N8-00 to PC

Hi
I want to copy the email to outlook 2007 on my PC.
How do you export email from the Mail app on the N8-00. I installed the PC Suite on a Vista PC and it synch'ed contacts but there is no option to sync email. When you go into the setup area of PC Suite there is no Email tab. I saw the user gudie which has a crseenshot showing one but I don't know why it is not visible to me.
It does talk to Outlook as contacts came over successfully.

DStratton wrote:
The issue has been that the phone was synched to a yahoo email account and that account was deleted. As the phone is still showing emails I hoped to download from the phones emails on the phone to retain the names and email address etc of people who had emailed.
There is an app which looks as if it will do what you want, http://store.ovi.com/search?q=best+messagestorer# but it isn't listed when the store is set to a Belle N8, so it might not be compatible with Belle yet. There is a 15 day trial version at http://www.smartphoneware.com/messagestorer-for-s60-3rd-edition-product.php which while described as for s60 3rd, does include s^3 in the platform list. There may well be other apps available, either in the store or at 3rd party sites, that do a similar job so spending some time searching may be of use.
If there aren't too many addresses that you want to save, and you can't find an app to do it, you can always save the addresses manually. When viewing the mail on the phone select the "+" icon, then when you select the address you get the option to save to contacts. Once done you'll be able to sync with Nokia Suite.
I can't see a way of forwarding mail from a different account to the one it was recieved on (an I guess you would need this to forward as you say the account has been deleted) but if there is any text that you really need to save you can do this by forwarding/replying and then selecting text and copy/paste to a new document.

Problem saving .flv from streamed video

I am streaming live video over a website using cs4 Flash Media Live Encoder....
Video
VP6, 29.97fps, 320x240 input size, 200 to 500 kbps
Audio
MP3, stereo, 22 050, 64bit
I am using the Flash Media Live Encoder to save the video to a .flv file to upload to the website for later viewing. Although the saved .flv video is of equal quality of the streamed video, the audio quality sucks beyond belief.
I sounds great through the speakers at the event, it sounds great streamed over the internet but when I play the saved file the quiality, varies from almost unusable, to scratched noisy and totally unusable. I noticed that the quality is very average at low volume but if the volume is increased it sounds terrible.
Does anyone have any idea of what I can do with this? Am I doing somethign wrong? Can I adjust the settings to improve the quality? Is there another option to stream and save?
Thanks in advance

Are you getting this problem when you play the file on local system but in Subscribed stream at Flash player end?
This is really strange because if FMLE is causing any problem then this should be common for both Locally saved file and stream to FMS.
Which player are you using to play this file?
Can you try playing this file on some other system. This is really strange

Problems exporting photos from iPhoto even after trying earlier suggestions

I've done this before with no problem.
I want to export 158 photos from iPhoto 11 on my iMac (OS 10.9.4) so I can put them on a 2GB SD card (MS-DOS FAT16) for a digital frame. With the SD card in the slot on the back of the iMac, I exported the files to that disk. I got an "Unable to create /Volumes/[filename]" error. Went ahead and deleted that pic from the album I'd created for export but got the error for a different file.
Checked through the iPhoto forum and found others had similar problems. Terence Devlin suggested exporting to a folder on the desktop and dragging to the card. When I try that, I get an "Item [filename] can't be copied because there isn't enough free space" error. (This despite the fact that the Finder info shows 14.7MB for all the files and it's a 2 GB card.) I click "OK" in the error window and am told the 158 items are being copied. However, when the process is complete, only two files appear on the card in the Finder and both of them show they're empty (i.e., Size: Zero bytes).
Tried reformatting the card. Tried plugging an external card reader into one of the USB ports on the iMac. Same problem.
Thoughts?

the general answer is to export the photos to a desktop folder and then drag that folder (not the photos in it) to the proper location on the unlocked SD card - FAT formatted volumes have a very low limitation on the number of lies on them at the root level hence the necessity to put the files in a folder and drag the single folder to the FAT volume
