Questions on saving Motion file

I am just a beginner...
I want to create a high quality HD PAL motion file and must keep the file as small as possible.
I have two questions :
01 - Which preset should I choose in the "select project preset" window when I start a project? ( I am gussing PAL DV. )
02 - How to save as high quality with not too large file size?

Where will you use this annimation? if it's for web, you don't need to worry about PAL
The motion file itself will not be that heavy... once you export a finished movie, that's when I guess you have to worry...

General Advice and Question on Saving Book Files

I am still relatively new to FrameMaker. I attended a one on one course 12 months ago for two days. When I attended this course I was totally oblivious to the features of FM, it was totally foreign software. I had looked through the User Guide and as part of the course received Classroom in a Book. I have not spent a lot of time on FM in the last 12 months as I still have to produce manuals in the old format. The changeover is a huge project.
I have searched this forum many times and found the answers I have needed to many of my questions and learnt so much that I had not fully understood.
I would just like to confirm now with the users of this forum that I am going about my project in converting to FrameMaker in the right way and I have a question on saving books etc.
I have Operator and Service manuals for four machines (with variations between each machine and then variations between each of those basic models). Parts of the Operator and Service manuals are interchangeable.
I want to be able to single source my material and I am setting up an Excel spreadsheet which will breakdown each section of both manuals. Once completed when a machine is ordered the Excel spreadsheet will produce the details of the files needed to complete a book (manual). There will still be work needed on the book files before the manual can be produced.
My files are double sided with each Chapter starting on the right hand page and I am using variables and conditional text. The manuals contain columns, graphics, tables etc.
I have done test runs and have managed to accomplish the layout in PDF that I want for the final manuals which will be printed. I am only working on four machines at this stage, once this is set up others will be added or I may have to set up another lot of single source files.
Am I on the right track?
My specific question is that currently I use master files for each machine which are updated as needed. These files are then saved to another folder and identified by a Serial Number and Customer. The serialised files are then saved to PDF. I would like to continue this process as in the future the manuals for that specific machine may need to be revised (i.e. Rev. 0 to Rev. 1 and so on).
So basically I have all my single source files from which I produce a book file and save it to an appropriate folder which identifies its Serial Number and Customer. I don’t know if I have missed something very simple but I want these serialised books to remain as is, I do not want them updated when I make a change to my single source documents. I want to be able to produce my manuals for any number of machines from my single source without changing the book files that have already produced a manual. Is this possible?
I am using FrameMaker 7.2 b144.
I hope this posting provides a clear view of what I am trying to achieve.
Many thanks in advance for any advice and answers that are provided.
PS This is the first time I have ever posted to any forums.

It sounds like you want to be able to open the book files and print without updating...
This isn't the case. Each book will need to be updated before output.
The reason is that your pagecount (and thus any toc, index, and xref's) will be different in each book and thus will need to be updated.
The books will still need a opening and updating prior to output, but you could easily (cheaply) script that process so that you could batch output the books.

Error when trying to batch Motion files in Compressor

I have 11 Motion files, each of which takes about 25 minutes to render, so I want to set up a batch and let it run overnight.
When I try to drag my Motion files onto Compressor, I get an error that says "Unable to figure out your host. Assuming Final Cut Pro." with a button I can click to say OK. This behaviour repeats a few times and then Compressor locks up. I've searched and found a couple other threads mentioning this but no good answer as to the problem.
The reason I don't want to just drop these files onto FCP to render is that if I have to go back and make a small 2-second change to a Motion file, I don't want FCP to have to re-render the whole segment again. By rendering with Motion/Compressor, I can have a rendered file that FCP won't throw away if I make a small edit like that. Please, does anyone know how to fix this?

well, ****, I just answered my own question...but also created a new one.
The problem appears to be that I am using the Primatte Pro plugin in my motion files. When I take that out, I can drop them into Compressor just fine. I've tried tricking Compressor into loading the file and then re-saving the Motion file with the plugin turned on but that just crashes the batch...
any suggestions?

Final Cut renders motion files, but displays them as blank

I ran into a problem today with final cut. I had a clip I wanted to stabilize, so I selected the clip, right clicked, and sent to a motion project, stabilized the clip all fine in motion, saved it, and returned to final cut. Like it is supposed to, the click reappeared, but as the motion file. It needed to be rendered, so i rendered just that clip, and then tried to play it back, and everything was blank in that clip. There was audio, and no video. I would like to figure out why its blank.
Any suggestions, I'm running the latest version of final cut and everything is up to date.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated, and happy new year!

almost impossible to tell from here. First thing to try is to export the clip from Motion, render it from Motion, and open that movie. If it's blank, well, you've got a problem with the source media and we start with a long list of other questions. You'll probably solve this yourself by trying to make the process as simple as possible, open a new project, import a short clip (SmoothCam tends to analyze the entire source clip unless you know how not to do that), and process it from FCP, there's no need to send it to Motion for SmoothCam.

Problems saving a file in Adobe Reader 11 after highlighting

Hi,
Has anyone come across a problem where Adobe Reader 11 seems to have problems in saving certain files after highlighting some text?
One of our processes involves checking information and to do this we open up a saved PDF file in Adobe Reader 11 and highlight the relevant text to confirm the amounts have been checked, and then save the file.
This is all done in Adobe Reader - not the full version and not using any external helpers etc, and running under Windows 8 64 bit.
However one of our users is having problems with certain PDF files where, when she goes to save the file after highlighting, it comes up with an error saying that it can't save to this filename and requests that a new filename is entered. If we then save to a new file, and then save as to the original file it works.
So basically this user is having to save the PDF file twice after highlighting - which is annoying.
The strange thing is it appears to only be happening with PDFs created from certain applications on our system (payroll software and BACS processing software) whilst other PDFs work fine. Another user, also using Adobe Reader 11 and also using Windows 8 64 Bit, can open up the problem files, highlight text and save the changes without any problem at all, so it doesn't appear to be the files themselves.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Reader without any success.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks

I'm getting something similar, but the message I get is "...pdf already exists. Do you want to replace it?" I click 'Yes' and the document is replaced under its original file name. This is using Reader 11.0.10.
Sorry - I should have been clearer.
She gets exactly that question, but when she clicks yes, then she gets 'The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.' At this point the name of the document as shown at the top of the screen has changed to a ???????.tmp filename.
Trying to save this document over the top of the original now works.
It looks like something is locking the original file and only releasing it after the attempted save, which then allows the original to be saved over.

Saving a file - Save as type

I would like to have a file-save dialog with the standard drop-down list with pre-defined file types as seen in most programs today. However, in LabVIEW I cannot find a simple way of doing this. Any suggestions?

LabVIEW-guru,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Before I posted this question I was actually contemplating on writing my own VI for doing this. I started the effort but soon I decided to not continue. Why? Well, why did I want this functionality in the first place?
My goal is to have a LabVIEW application that does not shine “I am written in LabVIEW”. With LabVIEW 6i it is almost possible to do this. Almost. I am a Die Hard supporter of LabVIEW and I am more than happy with the power LabVIEW 6i gives me in creating programs for controlling my measurements.
Ok, so what options did I have for this particular application. The obvious solution is to first have a pop-up dialog that asks for the desired format. The program
then uses this information when calling the standard dialog for saving a file. However, doing this leaves behind a sense that this is a home-brew solution. The suggestion you had of writing my own VI seems the best way to do it. But! The listbox, that one needs to list the directory, with its symbols does not look exactly as the windows equivalent. I have not figured out how to get the symbols in color. Also, I faced problem with the dialogring used at the top for selecting higher level directories. It seems that I cannot use symbols in it. Those two problems defeat the purpose by writing my own VI. If I can’t get it to look like a standard save-dialog, I might as well go for the fist solution, which is by far easiest, using an extra dialog asking for the file format.
But who knows... in LabVIEW 7i (?) I might be able to just wire an array of strings to the file dialog to be used for the Save-as-type selection.... If NI is listening...this would be a neat feature!!
Thanks a
ll for being part of DE! It is a big help for us all! /Mikael Garcia

HP scanning error: "An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to..

HP scanning error: “An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.” Dr. Google finds others with this problem. Some claim that this is caused by an upgrade of Apple OS10 (which I did do). One claims that HP has a "patch" for this problem. If I try to quit HP scan, it won't quit and freezes my computer. Here's the odd thing. I have no problem scanning in a colored page from Scientific American either before or after this error (after rebooting each time), but simple black and white documents started just today to give the error message above.

Thank you for the link however if I understood all of the instructions I would still be reluctant to try this on my own especially from a third unknown party where some of the information may be wrong and/or lost in translation. (Google translation at the end of this comment). The instructions say to uninstall the software. So if I uninstall the original HP software am I using the original disk to reinstall and then personalize again?What about all of the updates since I originally installed the software? I found the Disk Utility but what is "gatekeeper"And I am using OS X 10.9.1 that is current because I downloaded the latest upgrade. How would I reinstall it?And at what point do I go to the URL for the software drivers and the patch? This is just not practical for someone who is not proficient in troubleshooting applications.I switched to Apple because I don't want to have to go through this kind of process, take my time to fix the application and potentially mess up my system . WHy should I have to try to figure out how to retrieve the normal function in this case, of my All-In-One. If it is so simple why can't HP develop the fix and make it available? Unfortunately right now I have to find an alternative to scan some important business documents that are due today. Since I am using an older printer by technology standards even though it is working fine I may be looking for a replacement and HP may no longer be at the top of my list given that the problem appears to affect other HP models. No need to answer my questions, I'm not going to try this fix based on these instructions. Please HP provide a fix for this problem with the scanner and MAC OS X 10.9.1 compatibility! Translation of the information on the suggested link: We hereby send you a guide that should help you in solving the problem .Please carry the following: 1 Please uninstall the software again .Goto -> Programs - > Hewlett -Packard - > HP Uninstaller 2 Please repair permissions on your Mac .Go -> Utilities -> Disk Utility - > Repair Disk Permissions . 3 Please disable ' gatekeeper ' on your Mac . 4 Reinstall the full software for MAC 10.6 and patch for 10.7 / 10.8 / 10.9.

Having trouble saving tiff files to server

Hi all,
I'm having trouble saving tiff files to our server (a mac pro running OSX 10.5.7 client not server). I get the error message 'could not save "filename" because write access was not granted. The disk in question is set to ignore permissions and the other 3 Macs on the network have no problems.
Bizarrely this only seems to happen when saving as a Tiff file, I can save as JPEG without issue! The file will usually save after a few attempts, sometimes six or seven save as' are needed.
This problem comes and goes, but at the moment its pretty bad.
This is becomming very frustrating as Tiff is our prefered format and we work as a team so have to save to the server.
Any ideas?

Just to expand on Buko's correct ansswer, this is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Saving a file in Photoshop creates a new drive in LR - huh?

I am completely stumped on this.
When in LR2, I right click a raw file and have it edit it in photoshop cs3. The image opens in PS. Now when I save it, either just by closing and having it save it automatically, or if I specify where I want it to be saved (and I want it to be saved in the same folder as my raw files), it's creating another drive area in LR.
Please look at this image to see:
http://www.allizdog.com/temp/LR-OddFolderThing.jpg
You can see that I have my e: drive with all it's photo folders in it, and I have a folder selected that contains the file I edited. After I saved the file in PS, the second e: panel at the bottom appears and the PSD image file is in there, but it's not in the upper e: folder where I wanted it. Why is it creating this second thing?
So, if I syncronize the folder I was originally working in, the PSD will show up where I wanted to, but now I have this second e: thing that I now have to delete.
What's up with that?

This and other exporting to CS3 problems are discussed in depth in this thread:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5f883
but to answer your question--so far no one has reported a problem when deleting the 'ghost' folder.

Saving QTVR files from Safari

Hi to everybody!
I have a question regarding saving virtual panoramas QTVR from Internet. I used to get this message, that I need to upgrade to QT Pro in order to be able to save these files. So I shelled out the money and I succeeded twice, but most of the time there is no way for me to save the file.
Is there any trick?
I am using Safari as a browser.
Thank you,
Tomek

I went to http://www.expedia.com but couldn't find any reference on the page to "virtual tour"
So I googled, "virtual tour" site:expedia.com and got this page:
http://www.expedia.com/daily/deals/FiveStarFantasies/default.asp?rfrr=-35056
I scrolled down to:
Mandarin Oriental San Francisco
Take a virtual tour ( JavaScript:S3D('http://display.maxvr.com/expedia/propertymap.asp?hotelid=6505', 450,575) )
Which opened a new window for:
http://display.maxvr.com/expedia/propertymap.asp?hotelid=6505&lang=1033
And the window was completely white, nothing playing, no source.
So I went to:
http://www.maxvr.com/visitorsample.asp
And the panoramas there all play fine (in Java)
I repeated step 2 onward in Windows XP Pro with the same result, the expedia.com tours resulted in white windows with no source while the maxvr.com page worked fine. Perhaps expedia.com forgot to pay maxvr.com? I dunno.

'Recovered' Muse website not loading or allowing saving/closing file.

Serious frustration here.
Muse quit on me and when I went to open up my website file, Muse opened a file named "my_original_file_name - Recovered". Which is great and I'm certain this has happened before. So I begin editing and adding to my website, putting in about 5 hours of work.
Something I noticed was that in the plan view all my pages have the "loading-circular symbol" and every single page had (and has - still have site open for fear of losing all my work) it, yet I can still open the pages and edit them and close them. everything works fine when editing pages, widgets and all.
The problem is that I do not have the option to save my site when I go to file because the only option I have is "open recent..." all other are grayed out. I have even tried closing the entire program and it asks me if I want to save and I hit yes and assign the file to a new file name and the file never saves and the site never closes....as in the location where I saved the file doesn't have the file and the website just sits there with all the loading page symbols in plan view.
Other questions I have are:
If I force shut down, will Muse automatically save and updated recovered file from this recovered file?
Is there a way to make my individual pages in plan view stop showing the constant loading circular swirl symbol? (seems like the problem why File > Save and all others are grayed out.
Again I have put a lot of effort in this site and I don't want to force quit for fear of losing work. I am going to leave my Adobe Muse site open in the above described state until someone has some insight for me lol. It has been in this state for about 2 hours and I've checked my windows task manager and it shows Adobe Muse as "Running".
Thanks to anyone who actually read through this and any insight you may bring,

Hi,
I'm not sure what is going on here, but it looks like a bug. Can you send your .muse file and your Edge Animate file to [email protected] with the subject attn: Dana and a link to this thread? You can use Adobe SendNow or SendThisFile if the file is over 20mb.
Thanks,

How to turn off eps saving backup file as filename -01.eps?

Hi all,
I'm not at sure how I came about this/which box was ticked in saving options but whenever I save eps files, Illustrator will also save another backup file with '-01' after the filename and before the extension '.eps'. Also, whenever I save the document (as opposed to 'save as') a dialogue box will appear asking me if I want to replace the already existing file. Obviously I do.
My question is: How do I turn this option off?
NOTE: as far as I know, this problem of mine is only limited to .eps files, or more precisely it doesn't seem to happen when saving .ai files.
Thanks.

Thanks Larry!
I can't see the relevance in "Use Artboards" and saving a back up but I'll take it.

Kerning Caution! It can kill your Motion file.

Kern carefully. There is a bug that can render your motion file un-openable!
I will describe it in detail here to see if anyone else can reproduce it. I was able to reproduce it consistently, even with a new file.
I wanted to adjust the beginning of a text line to closely line up to another text member. There are many ways to do this. In this instance I chose to kern the space before the first character of the text line in order to shift the entire line.
Don't do this! It will kill your motion file.
When I tried to render a movie (Share/Export Movie...) after making this adjustment, here is the error message.
I saved the file, hoping that restarting Motion would fix the problem. But the project file will not open.
Luckily I had a backup of the file. I did a bit of trouble shooting after this and found that this type of kerning would consistently kill the project file. This is a very nasty bug. There may be more like this so proceed with caution when kerning.

Hope you have reported this to Apple Tracy via the Motion Help menu to http://www.apple.com/feedback/motion.html
I will stay away from kerning for now, thanks for the heads up!

Read saved outlook files using plsql

Hi,
Is there anyway of reading the contents of a saved outlook email file (.msg format) using plsql developer.
I'm interested in reading the sent time and sender name.
I know you can read directly from email account but unfortunately thats not possible in my context. I have to read from saved .msg file in a directory.
