Relinking objects in a timeline

I set up a couple of projects but want to reference them in a different folder on my computer. Can I do that without having to redo the editing I already did on the timeline?

Fuzzy,
Thank you.  Here is something interesting.  I initially read the media from another computer, so I copied that folder to the current computer, renamed it to make sure Premier Pro didn't reference it.  When I opened the project, there were no messages and it loaded fine, so apparently if the objects only needed to be in the same folder as the project.
God Bless,
MarkAs

  • [Cp] Select object from the timeline and move it on slide with cursor keys ?

    Hello,
    I don't know if there's a shortcut for this :
    Sometimes, it's easier to select an object from the timeline but if you try to use cursor keys to move it, you're in fact moving IN the timeline.
    Is there a way to switch to Slide edition ?
    Thanks.
    PJ

    You can not only use the cursor keys, but also in combination with other keys. And indeed, you have to move the cursor over the stage:

  • Hiding objects in the timeline view as too many objects

    Hi there
    I have a rather busy slide going on and I have lots of objects in my slide, so much so that when I expand the timeline panel it stretches all the way to the top of the screen.  Is there any way I can temporarily hide some of the objects from the active timeline so I don't need to keep scrolling up and down.  I don't want to hide them from the slide itself, just the timeline.
    Cheers
    Julie

    Hi there
    One trick I've used in the past is to work with a copy of the slide. Just remove all elements to simplify and focus only on what you need to focus on. Once you have it working as you want, copy it from the duplicate and paste into the live slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can i relink files to the timeline sequence when i've deleted the source file path? All the attribute are still in the timeline, I just can't relink

    So i started an edit and had the whole thing finished and ready to export in Final Cut X, when i went to export I had a message pop up say that it couldn't export while FCP X is still referencing media. I went through trying to solve the problem and ended up deleting the source media folders in the Final Cut Events folder and reimporting the clips. This lead to a whole can of worms opening up and now i'm left with a whole edit with 90% of the clips in the timeline unable to relink to source media.
    Can anyone help?

    First find the files. Then File>Relink Event Files and point to the folder.

  • Can you use more than transformation in a smart object in the timeline, ie for tweening?

    I know I can use transformation, but ideally I wish to 'distort' the pixels within a selection without changing the boundary, say with the liquify tool.
    If you can't do this, maybe Adobe can consider this feature for future release, ie giving greater manipulation control when tweening in a smart object layer in the timeline.

  • Objects Display in Timeline but not in Preview

    Heya,
    I'm trying to get a couple of colored ovals to appear over screenshots in Captivate 5.5.  If I move the Timeline bar, the objects display with the correct timing and effects.  However, when I attempt any type of preview (next 5, from this, web, project), none of the objects appear. project), none of the objects appear.  I would love to get some help.  Thanks! 

    Hi there
    Looks like you have a button pausing the slide before the ovals begin to show.

  • Selecting all objects at once to move over in Timeline

    Is there a way in Motion to select objects in a timeline to the right of a particular object, all at once in order to push them over to make room for an insert.
    (Like you can in FCP)?

    Hi,
    If you have placed all objects within a layer, you could simply select the layer and then Drag it to where you want in the TimeLine.
    At least that is how I did it with some of my stuff. I oranise everything into layers, and then I can move the layers in the TimeLine.
    Or isn't that what you needed ?

  • Controlling one timeline using an object in another?

    Hello! I'd be very grateful if someone could help me out with
    this.
    I have two layers - each contains a different object. Each of
    these objects have things happening on their own timelines. At a
    certain point on object A's timeline, I want the user to be able to
    click on it and jump to a different point on object B's timeline.
    I have no idea how to do this, and any help would be much
    appreciated.

    if the instance names of your movieclips are A and B and they
    are on the main timeline from anywhere in your _level0 swf you can
    use the following to refer to A (and B):

  • How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

    I'm a college student in Seattle.  We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5.  One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline."  Yup.  The answer is one...... or is it?  I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens.  So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline.  Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

    You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline.  You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers.  Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
    If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it.  But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

  • How to display an element on top of a web object

    Hello,
    I would like to display some grouped elements on top of a web object in my project.
    If you look at the image below, the large black frame is a web object that will play a video in an iframe.
    I'd like to put a smart shape (the white outlined box) on top of that web object with a text object inserted and an image button (the X).
    The idea is that when the video plays people can see what the video title is and click the X so that the box disappears if they wish to do so.
    But even though the group is on top of the web object in the timeline, as soon as the video loads and starts playing the web object takes pole position and the box, text, X, etc disappear.
    Any ideas how I can retain the layer order, even when the video starts playing?
    Thanks.
    R.

    What if you use a script and use a image with the video name and the "x" I´m using the google logo as example.
    var widget = document.querySelector("[id*='Widget'],[id*='Web']")
    var ronanImageTitle = document.createElement("img");
    ronanImageTitle.setAttribute("src", "https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png");
    ronanImageTitle.setAttribute("style", "position:absolute; z-index:100; top:0; width:50%");
    $(ronanImageTitle).fadeIn( "slow" , 0);
    $(ronanImageTitle).click(function() {
    $(ronanImageTitle).fadeOut( "slow" , 0);
    $(widget).append(ronanImageTitle);

  • PS CC Video Layer Smart Object error

    I think I have found a bug, I'd like to see if it's reproducible for others.  I don't know what the actual error is, but the error message says 'Photoshop could not complete the request because of a program error' (which I'm guessing is just a general error message that could be any number of things).  To cause the bug, create a new blank video layer, and draw something on a few frames.  Convert the layer to a smart object, and make a copy of the object on the timeline.  Add transform key frames to each layer.  Save the file.  At this point, the file should still be able to play what is on the timeline (for me it does).  Close the file, and attempt to reopen.  PS should be unable to open the file.
    Additional Info:
    Whether the Smart object is composed of a single layer, or multiple layers, the error occurs.
    I've only tested it so far with scale/rotation transformations, may happen with opacity and position
    Altering the opacity and position of the second smart object without setting key-frames doesn't cause the error (just altering the opacity from the layers panel for example, or moving the video layer with move tool).
    Timeline frame rate doesn't seem to affect it one way or another.
    A few times when I didn't cause the issue intentionally for testing, I was still able to open the file, but attempting to start playback would then cause the error, which would crash Photoshop altogether.  In those cases, I was able to find that one of the smart object layers in particular would crash photoshop when visibility was enabled/disabled, so I was able to drag all the other layers into a new file, only loosing one layer.
    EDIT:  Just to add, my question was: Can other people reproduce this bug? 

    I can also reproduce this bug.
    It is also reproducible by creating a regular document.
    Add a few layers with content.
    Convert a few of those layers into a smart object.
    Animate the contents of the smart object.
    Everything works as expected. Timeline plays. Looks good.
    Save: Get PS error "Photoshop could not update smart object because of a program error"
    Save the animated file as it's own PSD just in case.
    Close.
    Re-open: Nothing works. Cannot scrub timeline, cannot save for web, cannot play timeline, cannot move objects.
    Everything results in the error: "Photoshop could not complete the request because of a program error"
    I have inadvertently lost a few hours of work a couple of times now due to this bug. It sucks because the work is there right in front of me but none of it is accessible to me.

  • Trouble with J2D Timeline app

    Hi,
    I am very new to J2D and graphics programming. I currently know how to go about drawing stuff on the screen or make it move in a very basic fashion. I am trying to develop a app that looks like a timeline moving. Let's say that I have a bunch of planes and they are approaching some airport. The airport has its timeline that is a line in the middle of the screen(horizontal or vertical) with a bunch of time point hanging out of it. As time is going by the time points are going towards the bottom (or right) of the timeline at the end of the screen. Also if there is a plane that is approaching it too is hanging on to the timeline and is moving towards the end of the screen as time passes.
    | | | | | | || | | * ||
    start end
    --------------------------------->>>Time passage
    | = time
    * = some plane
    My problem is that even though I could probably investigate in drawing and animating this, I don't know how would I go about designing something like this. What would be the objects and what would move. Is the times attached to a circular timeband and the time band is moving(provided that I can program a timeband) or is the timeband static and the points moving. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how I could go about doing this or any referenced on the web that teach how to design something like this (and more).
    Thank you,
    Jay.

    you could make an object for a timeline section that holds a string for the time and a boolean for wether a plane is on it. Then create an array of these objects and having them cycling through with different values every time.

  • Timeline changes not saved-Captivate v2

    (Captivate, v2, Windows XP SP2 OS)
    I've been struggling with this for 2 days - I have multiple
    objects on a slide and have rearranged the order of the objects on
    the timeline - by dragging and by using the menu. After making the
    changes, saving and closing the file, when I reopen it, the objects
    have reverted to the original order.
    After changing the order of objects on the timeline, the new
    order is not saved. I have tried rebooting my PC and also
    reinstalling Captivate with no success. Does anyone have
    suggestions?

    I've been having the same problem. I have a project with
    about 100 slides, and sometimes the timeline will change the order
    of the objects on several of the slides, moving objects to the top
    that had been on the bottom, and vice versa. The mouse and the text
    captions are the objects that seem to be affected the most. After
    I've sifted through the entire project to make sure I've corrected
    anything that needs to be corrected, I'll save the project, close
    it out, and reopen it only to find that everything was put back the
    way it was before. Sometimes after I've made my corrections to the
    timeline, I'll publish or preview the project, and discover that
    the objects that were misplaced on the timeline are still showing
    up incorrectly even if the timeline itself is showing the changes
    that I had made. Does anyone have any suggestions about
    this?
