Question about a special effect

Hi
My friend did a special shadow effect using the non-professional program Microsoft Publisher. Here's a quick link I made to see a sample:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddvbfm3w_1fg3sqqd3
There must be a way to do this in InDesign CS4. Can anyone help?
Otherwise, I'll post this on the Illustrator forum.
Thanks.

>There must be an easier way.
How about Illustrator? That's designed for doing stuff exactly like this, whereas InDesign is a text and illustrations layout app.
While it surely is
i possible
to do stuff like this exclusively using InDesign (perhaps with the help of a script, here and there), but it's far easier to use each of the applications of the design suite for what they're meant for.

  • About a Special Effects Request Thread

    Do we have any threads for requests on special effects? If not, I believe that would be a great idea.
    Some of you may disagree but that's your perception.
    It will allow Novices like me to get the feel of things are done when adding our effects.
    What do you all think?

    There you all go again. You are misconcieving what just said. Perception is perception that is all there is too it. I wrote and I am pretty clear about what I ask.
    Again LaRhonde, No. I am busy and that's it I am busy. I have a son and a fiancee, which means is I can't finish up.
    I just got recently sidetracked having to put my 4 year old son into school which is a pain in the rear.
    In my community it is a task to put him into school due to the way the Governor runs Louisiana.
    Also, again and I don't really care how many years of experience you have or anyone for that matter. Good for you.
    Then you said. "there you go right there "referring to me not finishing up as to repoint out that you are correct about your judgement.
    Again you are not a psychic. You don't know what I am doing every minute of the day. Also, for the record, I am still doing the tutorials. Just right now other stuff came up.
    Secondly, I am new here and I don't like the hospitality that is going on. If any of you are professional as you claim to be, you should be helping me out in a  professional manner.
    Mylenium and Andrew Yoole cleared a little bit about helping me and we dropped it.
    Let me put this in very lamen terms for you all to understand. I made a request idea for the rest of the community, "not me."
    The next time you all see my screen name while I make a request, or a request that is similar to my other posts and you all have the craving to make a judgment reply to my posts. Don't reply to my posts. If you all are going to be helpful next time please be helpful but do so without judging my posts I make, otherwise I DON'T want to hear it!

  • Questions about Adobe After Effects CS5 and CS5.5

    I have the Adobe Design Creative Suite CS5 (Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5, Flash CS5, Dreamweaver CS5, InDesign CS5, and Fireworks CS5) and was going to order an old copy of After Effects CS5 for my iMac. However when I was about to order on an online store, I notice that there is a CS5 and a CS5.5 version for After Effects. I would like to know which version is better and if I get Adobe After Effects CS5.5 version will I be able to intergrate with CS5 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash?
    Alos is there a way for to order a copy of Adobe After Effects CS5(or CS5.5 version) on the Adobe online store? I don't want to order the CS6 version of After Effects because I'm afraid I will not be able to intergrate it with my CS5 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash.

    You should get After Effects CS6. There is no reason to be concerned about using After Effects Effects CS6 with Flash, Illustrator, and Photoshop CS5.

  • Question about animation navigation effect

    Hi folks. I cannot figure out how to achieve this effect in Muse:

    Notice the arrow that slides along the navigation menu when you mouse-over. Is that possible in Muse?
    Thanks!

    Video 1 (RE:MATCH) looks perfect, however it appears you have to choose a video track to match everything else to as opposed to one particular clip. Have you tried this plugin? Do you know if I moved my 'perfect' clip to a track all on its own and then applied RE:MATCH to all other clips and set them to match that one track it would work? Even if the perfect clip is say 5 seconds long and the timeline as a whole is 10 minutes?
    Revise the tutorial once again: the reference frame can even be a still image.
    Video 2 (SpeedGrade shot matcher) is this SpeedGrade accessible from the main Adobe CC program or do the clips need to be run through this external program?
    SpeedGrade is a separate application. However, in CC you can save a look in SpeedGrade and then apply it via Lumetri effect. See this tutorial on PrPro <-> SpeedGrade workflow:

  • Question about order of effects in after effects

    I'm just a hobbiest. I want to put home convert home movies to 4K. Nobody I know has gone 4K. i'm using the effects color correcton, detail(I don't know what it's called  but  you use it for scale)  in distort and add grain .but I don't know which order they should be in or what all the Eastman and Kodak grains are or the best color correction for 4k are?

    If you movies were not transferred with a telecine setup and are standard def I wouldn't try upscaling them. You'll end up with a mess. If you used a real telecine service to encode the home movies to BluRay or HD digital files with h.264 or similar MPEG encoding I'd probably just leave them alone. Only if you had your original films encoded with a real telecine and have what would be considered a production codec copy would I try to use AE's improved upscale or something like Magic Bullet's Instant HD to uprez. I can't see any situation where I would take previously encoded 8mm movies and try and push them all the way to 4K for several reasons. The first is it's too far to go to expect any kind of quality increase. The best you can hope for would be a zero gain in resolution or clarity. The second, You've got to have some fairly fancy hardware to successfully playback 4K files to a 4K monitor. Third, The final viewed image of a HD source played back on a decent 4K monitor will never look any better than HD broadcast TV or BluRay playback through the monitors automatic resizing capabilities. There's only one way to make 8mm film look better than a true telecine conversion to HD and that's a true telecine conversion to 4K. There's just not enough information in the negative to make it worth the effort.
    And what Dave said. You don't need any more grain.

  • Videos and special effects... (?)

    Okay I just found these.. they are great! But I was wondering... is anyone else having issues when filming either backlit or in the snow?
    My vids are... as best described... "mucky" looking!
    Is there not an option to increase the contrast or to 'vivid color' saturate the look?
    Thanks...
    ===== and for those that do not know about the special effects: =====
    Chapter 5 Using the Video Camera page:53
    Recording Video with Special Effects
    You can record video with a variety of special effects on iPod nano.
    Note: Video effects can only be selected before recording. iPod nano can’t add effects
    to or remove effects from recorded videos. You can’t change video effects settings
    while recording.
    To record video with special effects:
    1 Choose Video Camera from the main menu.
    2 Press and hold the Center button to display the video effects palette.
    3 Use the Click Wheel to browse the effects, and press the Center button to select one.
    The viewfinder screen appears with the selected effect.
    4 Press the Center button again to start recording with video effects.
    5 Press the Center button to stop recording.
    If you exit the Video Camera screen to play back your video, video effects are turned
    off. To resume recording with a video effect, repeat steps 2 through 4.

    Okay, why am I the only one who couldn't figure out how to get Special Effects with my video camera? The User Manual instructions: see pg 7, which is correct and pg 53-54 seem to be written incompletely; and (as I read them) indicate that with "Video Camera" on the screen, the center black button should be held down, thus providing the choices of Special Effects. WRONG. What does provide the array of Special Effects, is to select Video Camera (with the black center button), opening the lens of the camera. Before recording begins, hold the center black button down until the Special Effects are displayed, THEN select one and begin recording with it by quickly depressing the black center button. To end, again depress the black center button.

  • Special Effects?

    So my last computer had system 10.3.9 on it.. And hence didnt have a very new iLife. The iMovie was the old school one with none of this skimming business.
    I now have a Macbook Pro with iMovie '08 on it.
    Either I'm blind.. but I can't seem to find any inkling of the old (and yes simple) effects of the old iMovie on there. Is this new iMovie just a quick movie maker just for cutting clips and adding a little music, maybe changing the colour?
    I hope not.
    My question is: any special effect features apart from transitions.

    What you see is what you get.
    Is this new iMovie just a quick movie maker just for cutting clips and adding a little music, maybe changing the colour?
    Yes, as well as, import newer storage formats (with or without problems) and share directly to YouTube and/or a gallery.
    My question is: any special effect features apart from transitions.
    No, not in iMovie '08. (No one has figured out how to add third-party effects yet.) You can, of course, download the free iMovie HD (v6.0.4) so as to use both versions on your computer.

  • A few questions about After Effects and CGI (Computer-generated Imagery)

    Hi,
    I'm very new to After Effects and this forum. But I have a few questions.
    Now, I have recently started a movie project with my friend at a workshop. It's an action/sci-fi film and I'm probably going to be the editor and if needed in charge of visual and/or special effects. This sounds like a pretty big job for a noob, but we don't have a time limit with the project so there's time to learn.
    But to my questions. I've thought of introducing CGI to myself (very simple of course). I've studied the use of blender, and I think I'll use it for the modelling and animation. But should Ae be used in any stage of producing the CGI or should everything be done in blender? If I do, how? Am I going in the wrong direction (wrong kind of software, etc.)?
    Also, I'm not talking of fully producing the scene with the computer, but adding things like characters or items, maybe special effects.
    I'm hoping for an answer to all my questions, but if you have just one or two answers I'm happy to hear them too. You're also welcome to correct me if I've misunderstood something. Please ask for further specifications if you need any!

    1. Welcome to the family. AE is big, Really big. It's hard. Really hard. You have no idea how hard AE is to learr and to master.
    2. No time limit is good but you will need some money.
    3. This is not a Blender forum. You want to explore filmmaking, CGI and Blender-specific forums for that kind of assistance.
    4. AE is for your compositing and special effects. But you will need to learn how both apps work before you can decide how to divide up your project. A comparison would be shooting your film. Are you using a DSLR? Do you know why? Or are you using a GoPro? Another example might be Apple's Final Cut Pro. You can edit audio in it but it's better to use an audio application. You can do some special effects in FCP but it's best to do complex stuff in Motion of After Effects. How do you know what app is appropriate Lots of experience. Lots of failures.
    5. We were all new to AE and to vidoe editing and to special effects at one time or another. The user forums are not places to learn how to use these applications. You do that with tutorials and books and tons of time. Learning to use Blender to make a robot move is one thing. Making the robot into a character that compels the audience to care about it is quite another. Using AE to create a layer of clouds is one thing. Having those clouds react to the bow waves created by your flying robot as it approaches sonic speeds is quite another challenge.

  • Special effects editing question for iMovie '09

    Hi,
    I understand that iMovie '09 doesn't support many (any?) add-on software packages for special effects editing.
    Meanwhile, I'm editing some sports clips in iMovie '09,, in which I'd love to have a "spotlight" on a player, (where the other action/background is dimmed), or use an arrow to point at a player---that sort of thing.
    Is there a way to---say, do this edit in iMovie HD, or iMovie '06, with special software, then re-import it back into my iMovie '09 project?

    Ziatron,
    Thanks for your reply. When you say you use iMovie '06 with iDVD 09 all the time---can you explain further? I guess I go back to my original question---Would iMovie '09 "accept" the edit done in iMovie HD or iMovie '06?
    I do like the organizing layout (boxes with titles) much better on the previous versions, as well as some more detailed audio editing---but I'm grudgingly moved on to iMovie 09, and have already loaded a lot of my material (and keyworded them) into iMovie 09. I think I'm going to stick it out with this project.
    Thanks in advance for any further advice you can share.

  • Some questions about a Time Capsule

    Hi!!
    I just have a few questions about a Time Capsule, but first let me explain the backgroud to my questions.
    I live in a 2 floor house(including a basement) and my bedroom is downstairs. My parents currently have a desktop PC connected to our wireless router and our printer. Me and my step-father both have 13 inch MacBook Pros, and he uses the Mac like a basic computer, so the equipment connected to our PC is good for him. I, on the other hand, use my Mac, iPad and iPhone to their fullest potential. I am a SUPER MEGA NERD when it comes to computers, so I plan on making my bedroom an amazing office at the same time. So I want an AirPrint Enabled printer in my bedroom (Under 100$$) along with a Time Capsule to back up my information, because everyday I look around in the backdoor of my Mac alot, and if I jack anything up (And I cant handle the problem) I would like to restore my Mac to a previous version. So here are my questions:
    1) My bedroom is right underneath our router, so i get GREAT Wi-Fi in my room. If I get a Time Capsule, can I use it in my room to extend my Wi-Fi, and how would that work? Will it extend my wifi under the same name, because I would like my own Wi-Fi (Titled to what I want with my own password)
    2) If I have to create a NEW Wi-Fi network, how would I do that?
    3) Would I need to connect my new printer directly to my ROUTER, or could I connect it to the TIME CAPSULE?
    If you don't understand what I'm trying to ask (Even though I feel like it's self-explanatory)
    ONE question about the PRINTER: Do any of you have any recommendations for an AirPrint Enabled printer under 100$? Even under-150$ would be okay.
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!

    everyday I look around in the backdoor of my Mac alot, and if I jack anything up (And I cant handle the problem) I would like to restore my Mac to a previous version. So here are my questions:
    Don't just depend on TM.. use a disk image type utility.. either one of the Mac tools, SuperDuper, CCC, Chronosync or even a linux boot cd (if you have a cd/dvd drive still or via usb can boot) a great tool is Clonezilla.. it will do basically any computer, Mac, Linux, Windows.. and since it boots into its own OS can restore a computer in a flash. Then you can add the incremental changes from TM.
    1) My bedroom is right underneath our router, so i get GREAT Wi-Fi in my room. If I get a Time Capsule, can I use it in my room to extend my Wi-Fi, and how would that work? Will it extend my wifi under the same name, because I would like my own Wi-Fi (Titled to what I want with my own password)
    Actually I am surprised you get good wireless as usually directly above or below a router is often the worst spot. Time Capsule cannot extend the wireless of any other router than Apple.. it is a special system and only Apple can join the club. It has bad effect though, if you set the TC to extend wireless it turns off ethernet ports.. which is hugely dumb.
    The best arrangement is ethernet to the upstairs.. or EOP adapters. If not then a wireless router that matches the existing unit will generally be better than mixing apple and non-apple.
    2) If I have to create a NEW Wi-Fi network, how would I do that?
    3) Would I need to connect my new printer directly to my ROUTER, or could I connect it to the TIME CAPSULE?
    You create a new wireless network by selecting manually the wireless channel and use different wireless name, ssid and security. There are 3 available channels on 2.4ghz.. your existing router will use one or two.. depending on if the setting is 20mhz or 40mhz.. so you need to manually set everything and not use auto.
    TC is slow on 2.4ghz cf 5ghz and there are many more channels at 5ghz but not everything can use it.. iphone for instance is 2.4ghz only . whereas ipad can use 5ghz.. most full computers now can use 5ghz.
    Buy a wireless network printer. Or alternatively an ethernet network would be also ok but now are more expensive than wireless ones. Network printers are not much more than straight USB and work much better.
    I do not use airprint so have nothing to offer.. find the best HP model in your budget.. but others may have had more experience.. I use ethernet connected b/w laser business type HP.. they work great.. but airprint is too recent an innovation for me.

  • Style sheets (paragraph and character) not coping Special Effects

    Couple of questions about ID CS3. I have been really digging into the guts of the application and can appreciate how powerful it is.
    I am having a couple of problems and don't know if it is me or the app.
    1. I can not get a NEW Paragraph or Character Style Sheet to copy the Special Effects (specifically the drop shadow and inner glow).
    I have tried both by using the eye dropper, and the highlighting etc but nothing works. What am i missing?
    2. Also, how can I change the Drop Shadow Distance from the default (.1375in) to something else (ie., .05)? Same thing for the Angle. I also want to change the Distance and Angle for the Inner Glow. I looked in Preferences but could not fine them there. I am afraid to ask when do I use them for Object and when for the text....I will figure that one out by playing with it.
    3. And finally, how do I isolate moving an object. Even though the boundary boxes show up that I have a specific object selected, when I put the mouse in there to move it, some object underneath it moves. This is probably some technique I am not doing correctly.
    I absolutely love this application and will appreciate any help in the above questions.
    Thanks,
    bob

    Hmmmmmm not too sure what you are saying here (faking my way through applying it to a paragraph and anchored objects).
    Lets say I have the following:
    Chef Salad
    We use the freshest lettuce, tomatoes..... bla bla bla
    I wanted the name of the menu item (Chef Salad) to be 30 pt, Times New Roman, Red text (no container fill), drop shadow.
    Lets also say I want the description (the Bla bla bla) to be 15 pt, Arial, Green text, and small drop shadow.
    From what I understood you to say(write), I would have to make a Object style for Chef Salad (and I guess another Object style for the description)given that I want to use special effects.
    What has been one of the more confusing things about ID (and believe me, I have been watching hours and hours of Lynda.com, Youtube, and reading a book/DVD on the subject) is when to use paragraph styles, Character styles and now Object styles.
    Changing the parameters on these styles is not (to me) the difficulty. When and where to use a particular style is.
    I don't want to keep bugging you so if you have someplace that really gets into the proper place and time to use these styles I will go there (if I haven't been there already).
    However, if it is pretty easy for you to elaborate some more, that too would be greatly appreciate.
    Thanks Bob
    PS Nice looking web site you have.... I am up there viewing it now.

  • Special effects in 08 imovie?

    Just upgraded to 08 imovie only to find no "special video effects" such as Bloom, rain, fog etc etc. Very disappointing. I stopped by Apple store and this was confirmed as well. Are there any add on special effects products out there?

    The part you are getting lost on I take it is that in order to import a project into iMovie HD ('06), the necessary video files are copied into a new iMovie project.
    Which is why I recommended that anyone doing video editing should be using a secondary drive for storage. As an example, if you have a 160 GB drive, you should try to keep about 24 GBs free for optimum operation. As you have 26 GBs of original data which you are in effect duplicating, then before even starting the "double-import" work flow, you should have 70 MBs of free space available. Sounds like you may have had only 50 MBs or less and that doesn't include whatever disk caching setting you may be using or caching for any and all applications which may be simultaneously open.
    You wrongly assume that I would have a spare external drive laying around to do a 26GB transfer.
    I make no assumptions here. I am merely stating the fact that if you plan to do video editing, you need both adequate RAM and disk storage space available. If you don't, you are bound to have such problems on a regular basis. With 160-320 MB triple-interface drives available in the $100-$200 range it seems less than productive not to at least consider the purchase of one. (Cheaper drives are available but are probably not the best choice where video capture is involved.)
    Besides, do you know how long it takes to do a 26GB transfer?
    Can't say as I do on your system. It took me 17 minutes and 32 seconds to transfer 26 GBs while simultaneously compressing a feature film to H.264 (for TV use) and answering these questions.
    Instead of all this iMovie '08 to iMovie HD ('06) Tomfoolery, which, in my opinion, is a really big error on Apple's part, I went out and purchased Final Cut Express. I did my basic scene editing in iMovie '08 (which, by the way, it seems to do rather well) and exported the projects to a FCE XML document.
    Well, that is one option that I did not previously consider. However, remember that sooner or later if you do any editing in FCE segment/files will likely have to be rendered from the reference source files and this will again start to eat up storage space. Assume you are using FCE v4 here. If not, you may expect to run into some path problems with your XMLs which will likely have to be restored manually.

  • Questions about XMP

    Hello,
    I have the following G.Skill Ripjaws series in my build (2 x 4GB):
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231314
    along with an MSI z77a-g45 motherboard.
    I had a couple of questions about the speed of the memory. I am very ignorant with this stuff and am new to building my own systems.  I'm assuming that my current DRAM voltage is 1.5, but I'm not entirely sure to be honest.  Is there a way for me to test what the actual voltage of the RAM is currently? If it is already running at 1600 (w/o me doing anything special in the BIOS), is it recommended that I enable XMP (I think CPU-Z is showing me different timings from what's listed on newegg)?  What exactly does enabling XMP change, other than memory timings? For instance, does it increase the base clock (effectively OCing the CPU as well)? Does it remove any power saving features?  For instance, I think I've read somewhere that enabling XMP turns off several features such as Turbo mode and things related to energy savings or sleep steps. Is this true? Any help is appreciated.  Thank you very much!

    Read through these threads, they give you a lot of good info.

  • Some questions about Muse

    First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
    The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
    It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html).  I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
    Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
    A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
    The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
    (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident,  moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
    The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but  the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
    I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
    The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
    The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts  (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
    YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
    Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
    On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
    This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
    Is it possible to make an option of  scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
    Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
    I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
    In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
    According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
    The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
    Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
    I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
    and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

    Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
    Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.

  • A lot of questions about my MacBook Air

    I am really new to re-using Apple computers.The last time I used an Apple computer was back in 1987 when the school and my family had Apple IIGS computers. I have been using PC's which reqiure Microsoft. I a lot of have questions (10 questions) about my MacBook Air and I hope you good people can and will help me.
    Product: MacBook Air
    Operating System: Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
    1) I Downloaded MacKeeper because I was fooled. I had a bad feeling just before I Downloaded it and I should have listened to my heart. However, I didn't buy it or fully Install it. It was like a test run and then they wanted me to pay almost $100 for it. Thankfully, I didn't because I read it is Malware. I spoke with an Apple Tech at Apple Care and he helped me get rid of it (or so we think). I don't see it anymore on my computer. I read it can slow down your computer. How can you tell if it's really off of the computer?
    2) When I open "Finder" and I see that there are people Sharing my computer with me. I went into AirDrop and it reads, "Other people can see your Mac as (my name) MacBook Air when their computer is nearby." I bought a HotSpot and while it's turned on and I selected it as my WI-FI connection I thought it would  get rid of these people, protect what I type, me, my items, computer, etc. But it didn't.  
    I didn't know that I have to buy a exteral CD and/or DVD Player in order to connect to the brand new Modem and Router in one by NetGear. I am so used to PCs and the CD/DVD Players being built inside.
    The people at Apple Store told me that there is an internal modem inside, but I don't know how to find it and what to do then.  Should I use a Firewall?, An AntiVirus, AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, etc. Apple Care tech told me I don't need to get an AntiVirus.
    3) Is there a new kind of Wireless Modem and Router that doesn't require a CD-ROM?
    4) When I travel or fly and I am not close to home I was told by Best Buy and Sprint that I had to buy a mobile HotSpot to use the computer (WI-FI) safely. As I typed, I have one. But it's pretty expensive and only gives me 1 hour and 15 minutes per day to Stream. What can I do to use this computer safely Online when I am out of range from a Modem and Router? What do people do when they travel on airplanes?  
    5) This compter won't let me use "Raid." I think you have to have a newer version. I hard about Raid on the radio from Leo (can't recall his last name) who's a Tech expert.
    6) Should I buy a ZipDrive? Apple Store Tech told me that I didn't need a ZipDrive. I just remember the episode of HBO's "Sex and The City" when Carrie looses everything because her copy crashed. Now, of course, I know that's a fictional show, but with PC's and Microsoft I have lost everything when it crashed, frooze up, etc. I know there's iClouds. I heard about Carbonite, but I have read the Pros and Cons about it. Mostly they are Cons about it. I just don't want to do anything wrong and mess up this computer.
    7) Should I buy a new Printer/Copier/Scanner because mine is an HP. It's not new, but it works. I even have a CD-ROM for Macs. What about the new product called, "Neat"?
    8) Is there a special product that I should buy to do Online Banking and/or other important stuff?
    9) I saw and read about iWork in the Apps Store and it sounds cool. I still have alot of friends and colleagues who still use Microsoft. Is iWork good to use? Should I Download it from the Apple Apps Store or can a buy it at Apple? Is there another Word Processing Program that is great and user friendly and will work with Macs and PCs?
    10) Should I Update the OS with OS X Mountian Lion Pro from the Apple Apps Store or buy it at Apple Store?
    In advance, I wish to thank you in this Apple Support Communites for your help.  Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

    1) Here are instructions for removing MacKeeper. Since it mostly consists of manually looking for folders and specific files, if you follow the instructions you either fail to find what you are told to find (because your AppleCare guide gave you complete instructions which you followed) or you'll find some additional files that need to be replaced.
    2 & 3) I assume you are looking at the sidebar of a Finder window and seeing Shared and computers under it. Those are computers that you can potentionally share. To do so you'd need an account on their computer and a password. They are not sharing your computer.
    AirDrop allows you to create an adhoc network for filesharing and it only functions when you have selected the AirDop item in the SideBar. Actually doing that merely announces to computers in the same network node that your computer is available for a file to be sent to. Even then you have to explicitly allow the file to be downloaded to your computer. Similarly you'd be able to see other computers with AirDrop selected and be able to send them a file - which they'd have to accept.
    The only reason your NetGear Router comes with a CD is to install and run their 'easy' step by step configuration program. It can also be done manually with a browser. Read the manual to find the IP address you must enter to access the router's configuration menu. Apple's WiFi routers don't require a CD to install the software because the configuration software is already on your computer.
    I do have my firewall turned on. AntiVirus software isn't a bad idea - I use Sophos having tested it for a review for our local User Group and I found I liked it better than ClamAVx which is what I'd been using before. Both are free.
    4) I think you were scammed by Sprint and BestBuy. I use hotel, coffee shop, and restaurant WiFi spots and have for years. However, because they can be unsecured, I do not shop online or bank when I'm using them. I also use 1Password and don't reuse passwords so even if a sniffer should grab an account and password that's all it would get - one account.
    5) Raid doesn't really make sense with a MacBook Air - a RAID involves 2 or more disks being used as if they were one.
    6) Zip drive? No. External hard drive - yes. It isn't a question of if a computer's hard drive will malfunction, it is when. OWC has a nice selection of external drives and the Mac has a built in backup system called TimeMachine. Due to the way TimeMachine works, I've found that your TimeMachine drive should be at least twice as large - and preferably 3-4 times as large as the data you are backing up.
    7) if your printer works and it has Mountain Lion drivers, why replace it?
    8) Online banking is done with a browser - Use Safari or FireFox
    9) If trading files with Windows users is important Mac: Office is your best bet. If not, iWork, Mac:Office, or LibreOffice are all good possibilities.
    10) you can only buy Mt Lion via the App Store.
