Quick way to apply fades to many chopped up regions?

Have scissored up one region into many smaller regions in order to line up bass guitar transients to kick drum transients. I can't always do this by "stripping silence" so of course I end up with clicks and pops do to the scissored regions beginning and ending on non-zero-crossings of the audio data. But I apply fades to all the regions and this takes care of it. So I regrettably must do this manually every day in a certain project and though I am now fast at it I would love it if there were a fast way to apply very small fades to all selected regions on a track at the same time.

Select all the regions you want fades on.
In the region parameter box in the inspector, you should see "fade".
Dial up however long a fade you want. It will do it to all the regions selected.

Quick way to apply 'see also' or 'in this section' ??

RH8.02 HTML
Hi all,
I'm wanting to add a See Also/Related Topics/In this Section area to my topics and am looking for a way to do it quickly and automatically.
Does RH provide any quick mechanism to add these to topics, say in the bottom on the page.
Basically I want my main/top pages of a section to contain a set of links that points to the other topics in that section. Is there any quick way to do it, or automate it?
I tried to Insert > See Also, and Related Topics but these all created buttons that opened a window, I would prefer the links to sit in the page if possible.
thanks.
Nick

Hi Nick
If you create a new project in RoboHelp 8, choose the Project Template type of Knowledge Base.
Once you have created the project shell, examine the "What's New" topic. At the bottom of the topic are some instructions that may help.

What is the best way to apply a template to the rebranded partner site?

My partner site got severely jacked up when I was brand new to BC.
Since then I've overwritten it in Muse while attempting to "try' it as well.
Apparently does some "cleaning" meaning the template files I once had access to in the templates folder got deleted. bleh.
Is there a quick way to apply another template I own to that site such as publishing a trial site and re-pointing dns or anything that direct and smart; or is the only way to do it a manual, one by one by one of files, modules, content holders and so on?

Hey there,
If you want to access those partner site templates, layouts and everything else, here are some FTP details you can use:
host: maxdesigncompany.businesscatalyst.com
username: maxdesigncompany.businesscatalyst.com/[email protected]
password: password
Feel free to log in through FTP and download the whole site. All the modules should work since the module IDs on your site will match those on this site.

Is there a quick way to make a universal change across many InDesign/PDF files?

We are a mid-sized manufacturing firm that produces many different versions of our product. For each of our units, we produce a set of technical instructions, using Illustrator and InDesign. Within each instruction manual, there are pages unique to the individual unit, and pages that are universal (boilerplate) across all of our manuals. We export each complete instruction manual to PDF for printing and placement on our website. At present, we need to make a change to one of our universal pages that appears in every manual. Is there a way to apply the change across all of our manuals without opening each InDesign file separately, updating the link, and creating a new PDF? That process is obviously time consuming and labor intensive considering the volume of files that will need to be updated. As such, any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. We would like to automate the process, even if it means updating our software or changing our method of producing instruction manuals.

Basically - it sounds like they have Illustrator file that is common to many different inDesign files.
And seems like they are placing some pages of a master document from InDesign within other InDesign documents.
When they update a master document and make changes to it - they have to open and update all the modified links across all the documents.
Using my method - you can select a base folder where all the InDesign files are residing.
Run the script - and select "Update modified links before exporting"
So in essence all the PDFs will be generated - and the modified link will be updated in each document.
Plus all the InDesign files will update the modified documents.
I do this a fair bit and it works for me very well.
Unless I have misunderstood the problem here.

How can I bulk delete contacts from my iPhone 4S? I've imported them from gmail and hotmail and there are many more than I need. Deleting them one by one will take ages, there must be a quicker way! Also, do contacts take up space on the phone or are they stored remotely?
Thanks.. J

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Quick way to fade out audio on a clip

FCE 4.0
hi. is there a quick way to automatically have the audio fade out entirely at the end of a clip other than inserting keyframes and dragging it out that way? Scenario would be that I am doing a fade-in/fade-out video dissolve and would like the audio to do the same. when I tried the audio transitions of 0 or 3db (I can't tell any diff, btw) it doesn't seem to actually fade the audio to zero.

more info... it seems that none of my audio transitions are working at all. I imported an MP3, rendered it, split it, and added some crossfades. Made the duration like 3 seconds just to be sure, and literally no adjustment is happening to the audio at all. Is there a setting I'm missing? Now, if I use the keyframes, I can adjust it fine. It's just not adjusting with the audio crossfade transitions.

Is there a way to apply the same transition to many clips at once?

If there are about 70 clips for a slide show s there a way to apply a crossfade to all of the clips at once?
Thanks,
Pete D.

Make Timeline the active window.
Press command and A keys to select all clips.
Press command and T keys to apply the default transition.
This will usually be a one second crossfade but you can change it to another duration or a completely different effect if you want.

Best way to apply same effect to multiple clips?

I have a bunch of short clips in the timeline. I want them all to end with a "fade to black" and I want the audio to fade to 0 db. I know how to do this by applying the "fade to black" and then applying 1/2 a crossfade 0db. Is there a way to apply these two effects to several clips at once? How do I apply the audio and video effects together to a single clip with one move?

create the effect using the opacity and volume overlays on one clip in the timeline, then right-click and copy. Select (ie highlight) the other clips you want, right-click any of them and choose 'paste attributes'. From the pop up you'll want to check the relevant options, opacity and audio levels, and that's it.

Is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder

is there a way to apply LUTS to clips while in Adobe Media Encoder? We have many camera clips needing luts applied then wrapped to ProRes422 for editing. right now we are using after effects, rendering out then wrapping in Encoder, but this workflow is quite time consuming.We've tried rendering proRes out of AE but the boss isn't happy with the results without also going through Encoder.

No, there is not a way to apply color changes (e.g., using LUTs) in Adobe Media Encoder. Do this in After Effects, but just add your After Effects compositions directly to the Adobe Media Encoder encoding queue (e.g., by choosing File > Add After Effects Composition in the AME UI).

Has Lightroom CC removed the ability to Batch apply changes to many files at once (after import) using presets?

I've just upgraded to Lightroom CC and most of the changes are very welcome - especially the performance improvements.
However I've been processing several thousand images and in Lightroom 5 when wanting to apply changes to many images at once it was as simple as selecting the group of images and then right clicking, selecting Develop Settings and then selecting one of my many Presets from a sub menu.
This sub menu seems to have disappeared in Lightroom CC.
This is a MASSIVE problem for me as I cannot work out how to apply the presets to multiple images anymore.   I note that there is a tutorial on how to do it during import - but I want to specifically be able to do it post import, during development of large groups of images for clients.
Anyone know what has happened here and how we can get access to applying presets to multiple images during development under Lightroom CC?

Yes ssprengel.
I regularly work with all the Presets visible in the left of the Develop module.   But this cannot be used to apply the preset to multiple images.   For that (in Lightroom 5) you had to select the multiple images and then right click (on any one of the images) then go down the menu to Develop Settings, then select the Preset Folder and the Preset you wished to apply to all the images selected.   This worked well for me in my workflow.   But the access to the Presets through the Develop Settings menu has been removed in Lightroom CC.   ManiacJoe's solution above works - but it's accessed from the Library module.   That's kind of counter intuitive.   I want access to apply any preset I've saved to multiple images (in many cases t's being applied to thousands of images) from within the Develop module.   it makes little sense to apply a preset one image at a time to thousands of images when developing them
The whole idea behind presets was that they could be quickly and consistently applied across multiple images.   Removing this functionality is a backward step by ADOBE in my opinion and I really want them to add it back to the Develop Module menu systems.

Is there a quick way to convert Albums to Projects?

Due to bringing in legacy organizing from iView MediaPro into Aperture years ago... I have an organizational structure consisting of few top level Projects containing many Albums. I now realize I should have few top level Folders containing many Projects (which contain Albums when necessary).
So the question is... is there a quick way to convert an Album to a Project? If I have to create a new Project for each Album I have by hand... this will take forever as I have hundreds of Albums.
Thanks!

Doing it manually is what I'm trying to avoid... I have a LOT of albums. I started trying to script it but I am trying to piece it together with my uber limited applescript knowledge... here's what I've got:
tell application "Aperture 3"
set imgSel to (get selection)
if imgSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
set pName to name of parent of item 1 of imgSel
set pID to id of parent of item 1 of imgSel
set cID to id of parent of parent of item 1 of imgSel
tell library "Aperture Library"
make new project with properties {name:pName}
repeat with i from 1 to count of imgSel
move item i of imgSel to project (pName)
end repeat
end tell
end if
end tell
It's ghetto (there's some stuff I need to comment out that wasn't used) and it seemed to work in the test library I setup, but when I went back there were some weird thumbnail issues so I'm scared... not to mention it doesn't seem to work in the actual library for some reason. It won't create the new project. Weird.

Is there a Quick way to exactly center Illustrator artboard in work area?

Good Day, Illustrator Mavens:
Many files I receive from clients have their art boards set up way off center within the work area. This would most times not be a problem, but many times I need to scale up their files for more precision for output purposes.
Does anyone know of a way to get an art board back to the original default center of the work space so that when I scale the art board and it's contents I can avoid objects not scaleable because they'll be outside the pasteboard?
Currently working in Illustrator CS 17.1 in Mac OSX 10.8.5
Thank you in advance

Markerline:
Doing what you suggests just centers the view of working on the file and does not physically move the artboard and it's contents to the default center of the work area/pasteboard. In other words, I want to move my artboard back to the exact zero origin as if you were creating a document brand new. I would like to do this so that when I enlarge the items (in my current situation I need to enlarge 1200%) the items fall within my work area.
I have attached a screen shot of what a client gives me.
I know that I could use the art board tool and drag it to what seems like the center, but it may not be exact. Just wondered if there was a quick way.

Is there a quick way to replace entire sets of styles?

I am currently working on updating InDesign templates that the rest of our team use to start translating different versions of our books. In the template we have the guides and text boxes all created as well a sets of styles to use.. (Headers, Body, Captions..etc).
They started on an older version of this template and I've just updated it by re-defining all the styles. Is there a way I can replace a document's styles with an entirely new set?
The styles are all named the same from the previous versions - but currently I still have to go delete each style and apply the 'new' style - one by one. This takes a while when we have nearly 100 styles. Is there a quicker way to do this? Or am I looking at this whole template thing wrong?
Is there a tutorial or a video explaining the philosophy behind these templates? Basically, we create new books or documents all the time and although they go to different typesetters, I would like them all to use the same 'standard' styles.

When you load styles that have the same names you should get a dialog that lets choose whether to update the existing style with the incoming style or rename the incoming:

Please Help with Quick way to Un-do Duplicates

OK, I'm using a Windows PC, with Vista 64-bit.
Music is my life. I have 36,000 songs all in 320KBPS. Since Apple Lossless is mindbogglingly not available in the iTunes store, I use the highest quality of CD-Import I can find.
Not sure what I did, but I was in iTunes and at the top, it started saying "Processing Files" and was counting songs as it processed them. I was thinking "I didn't hit anything? Is this a back-up? What's going on??"
So I looked under FILE>Show Duplicates and I have 26,000 of my song files DUPLICATED!
Here's the Dilemma:
I cannot just highlight them all and hit Delete because "Show Duplicates" shows the original song and the duplicate song on top of one another like this:
POSITIVE TENSION / BLOC PARTY
POSITIVE TENSION / BLOC PARTY
THIS MODERN LOVE / BLOC PARTY
THIS MODERN LOVE / BLOC PARTY
Make sense? If I delete-all, the song would no longer be in iTunes at all.
I cannot spend hours deleting Duplicate songs one-by-one. That would take days! Highlight song, Right Click, Delete, Are You Sure? Yes, Delete.... repeat. Crazy to even think about it.
So... I deleted iTunes. I re-loaded the newest version of iTunes 9 for 64-Bit. It found my songs, but STILL Duplicated instances of songs!
Does anyone PLEASE now a very quick way to Un-do this or delete Duplicates...????

First check your recycle bin. Hopefully your missing album is there and can just be restored.
Now open *Edit > Preferences... > Advanced* tab and click the Reset button next to *Reset all dialog warnings*.
Take a single duplicated track and use *Get Info. > Summary* tab > Where: to confirm that both entries refer to the same file. Now delete the entry with the newest *Date Added* date. This time you should definately get a prompt to keep the file or move to the recycle bin. *KEEP THE FILE*. Check the remaining entry still plays.
Assuming things are behaving as expected you can now select all the recent entires & delete, keeping the files so that the original entries will still have files to point to.
<hr>
If you're in any doubt about how all this works then before you start you probably ought to take a backup of your entire iTunes folder. Had you had one you could have simply restored your most recent iTunes Library.itl file in a jiffy.
*Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can copy your entire iTunes library & any other media folders onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised within the iTunes Media folders then you can open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.
<hr>
You might also find the following useful in case you accidentally remove too many entries:
*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s really slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.

I'm new to Indesign Cs3, but is Javascript the only way to apply.....

Is Javascript the only way to apply Numerous Paragraph styles that have already been establish to a document to apply autoamtically?

Hi,
There are many options to apply paragraph/character styles. When you are loading 'Tagged Text', InDesign will automatically apply these styles. If it's XML, we can apply the styles using the mapping option.
Can you pl. provide more details about workflow and your requirements to give clear idea.
Thanks,
Praveen
