Replace new image into existing project

I need to replace a image that I used in a transition. This image will fly in from the side from my start page to my main page.
I originally made everything the way I wanted then duplicated the state then I moved the items to be flown on to the page or faded into the page etc...
but now the new imported image is only on one state. if I copy the image from the main state and paste the image to the start state and try to make a transition the image only gets a fade in selection in the timeline. Even if I move the image it will still only fade in. I want the image to fly in from the side.
I think what is happening is that the image is no longer "Linked" between states so it does not know where the graphic starts and where it should end.
It thinks its 2 different graphics. Is their a better way than to copy and paste state to state to be able to keep the association and create a transition?
Otherwise I have to redo hours of work just to replace an image ?????
Please help....

Hi Curtis,
Transitions are between the same item (or "instance" to be fancy) when it has different properties (like position, size, opacity, rotation,etc) in different states. When you import an image, you create a new item in the Art Board. If you copy-paste, you create another item.
If you want the same item to show up in multiple states, right click it and choose "Share to State" and the state you want it to appear in.
There's also a "Make same in All States" that makes an item have the same appearance in all states that it's present in.
For your specific case, though, you have transitions already working on an image, so you should just change the image to have a new source. Click the image that had been working before, click the "source" in the Properties Inspector (lower right), and you should have the ability to change where your image is coming from.

RH10 suddenly won't let me add/import new images into my project

I have tried accessing the "Insert Image" option using the various methods (menu, toolbar icon, right click menu), but once the dialog box is open, I click on the browse folder to find the image that I added via Explorer, but nothing happens and the app freezes. The only thing I am able to do is close RH via the Task Manager. I have tried rebooting and also tried doing this in multiple projects to make sure it's not my main project with the problem. This same thing happens every time.
I CAN add an image that has already been imported into the project... I tried doing that then using Image Properties to bring in the newly created image... same result... freezes the app. My project is only about 50MB in size... and I probably only have 2 or 3 dozen images in it so far.
I am hoping you are not going to say uninstall and re-install because I don't have the disc with me today... working from home.
Help please.

TOTAL weirdness... so I just got into work... turned on my laptop... so i'm not working remotely... opened my project... at first i got this error:
then i continued to get a series of errors of various kinds.. finally one telling me the cpd file was corrupt... now mind you... I had to restart RH several times yesterday... also did a reboot... and didn't get any of these errors...I also tried to import an image into an older project to see if it was the project or RH.. but i had the same problem with the other project - no.. didn't try a NEW project as I was planning at your suggestion because it's working in my existing project now.
so i deleted the cpd... opened the project.. and tried to import a new image.. and BAM.. it worked like always! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
I don't understand what the problem could have been if this wasn't working even without VPN...
Thoughts? I'd like to avoid this issue next time I'm working from home.. which will be next week!

Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import. Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import.
Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

It is working for me. Two ways to import into an existing project:
Select a project and view it in the browser in split view. If you drag image files from a folder directly into the filmstrip, the dragged image files will be added to that project.
Or select a project in the library, before you open the Import panel. Then you can switch the destination project in the Import Settings from "new Project" to the selected project.
Have you tried these methods? Where does it not work for you?

How do I insert a pdf file (image) into a project as a picture-in-picture clip that will run for a specified amount of time?

I want to insert a pdf created from a ppt slide into a FCP X project that will run as a PIP for a specified amount of time. I was successful in bringing the image into the project as a clip but the default for the image is one second. When I try to change duration of the clip, I am able to enter a new time length but the actual clip doesn't change.

You select the PDF image in the timeline. You use Control-D and enter the new duration. What happens?

PSE7 ~ I'm inserting a .jpg image into a project, need to resize smaller and it ends up blurry!

Please help!
I am creating a birthday invitation for my daughter using PSE7. I found a few .jpeg images on the web that I want to use. The images should be okay size-wise (a 66kb image) when I try to insert this image onto the invitation (size of the invite is 5x7) - image takes up maybe 1/6th of overall invitation. When I insert this image into the project, it is HUGE. I need to resize it to reduce, but when I do for some reason it becomes very blurry. I can't figure this out! At the very least a 66kb image should be able to be inserted onto this 5x7 invitation as a 1" square and be crisp at that size?? Ugghh!
I hope I am being clear in my request...the image in question is pictured below. When this image is inserted into my PSE project, it would be about 2" high on a 5"x7" invitation...
Also, when I save the whole invitation as a jpg for printing, it's only 120kb file size...shouldn't it be much larger? Am I missing a global setting somewhere that's messing everything up?? Many thanks in advance to anybody offering suggestions...

You're thinking in the wrong terms. You need to be focusing more on ppi (pixels per inch) rather than the file size in KB. Start by making sure your main image is at 300 ppi (you may have to start over from scratch). If the graphics are now way too small when you bring them in, remove them and try a lower resolution, but you don't want to go below about 220 usually (it depends on your printer how low you can go and get away with it).
Go to Image>Resize>Image size to check your invite's ppi, but my guess is that you started at something like 72 ppi. If you did, I'd start over, unless you have enough pixels that when you change the ppi to 300 (with Resample Image turned OFF) it's still large enough.

How come every time I bring in a new image into Adobe Ideas as a background it's a different size?

I created a multilayered stencil in Photoshop and each layer was exported as a TIFF. Then I uploaded those TIFFs to Adobe Creative Cloud. My idea was to trace each of the TIFFs using Adobe Ideas, which seems to work except, every time I bring in new TIFF as the background photo to trace, it's a different size.'
How come every time I bring in a new image into Adobe Ideas as a background it's a different size?

When importing images through the Photo layer in the layers panel, the image that comes in has a size that is dependent on the current zoom level of the document. This may explain why you are seeing different sizes. You can select the hand tool and double-tap on your sketch to return the zoom level to 100%. If you do this before importing your photo, then your photos should all be imported at the same size.
Hope that helps,

Still images into a project

Hello.
I am working on an SD NTSC-Anamorphic project and want to bring some still images into the project. The images were shot with a Canon 350D (Rebel XT) in Raw format and currently are in TIFF format as converted by Aperture. When I import the images I am finding a noticable degredation in quality when comparing the images in "Preview" to the Viewer to the Canvas. Once the images are in the timeline and I look at them on the canvas they look alot fuzzier.
Should I be using a different file format? Is there a setting I've overlooked somewhere?
Thanks for any and all suggestions...

Hi,
I have read the comments above and all are valid but they do not look to me to answer your core question.
I had been asking the same question on forums for a long time and had similar responses and finally fixed the issue by purchasing a Photoshop book called WOW.
One of the earlier comments really hits the nail on the head but does not seem to offer the fix (I'm not trying to be critical here because all information does help).
First of all you need to reduce the size of the file for video - this is, in my experience best done in Photoshop not FCP (Photoshop WOW book comes with DVD and automatic actions to do this).
I call this the 'resize' step and put all my photos through this stage first (it does help to have an action for landscape and one for portrait to ensure that they are kept separate for the next step).
Then you need to 'rescale' the image to the size of your project in FCP (I assume that you are using widescreen as I do). To do this you need to create a blank document in widescreen format and then drop or drag your resized photo into the widescreen format and it will take on the same format as the blank widescreen document. Get rid of any layers and save the document in TIFF or JPEG it is up to you - you can keep the layers if you want to but you need to be aware of the issues of layers being imported into FCP.
I felt like I had found my fountain of youth when I sorted this out properly (the stress was definitely make me age).
Some comments suggest that the latest FCP does a better job of compressing the photos than the older versions but I wouldn't know as I use FCP 4.5HD and this may be so. However, it is commonly accepted, I believe, that formating the photo in photoshop is the better option.
It fixed all my headaches at least because I wanted the flexibility of FCP with photos just as you do.
Good luck and no intention to dislocate any noses out there, the willingness of people helping to provide assistance out there is fantastic.

After creating a new image of my project burned from iDVD I get no audio when I import it back into iMovie HD 6.0.3

I need to edit my project after I have already burned the project. I deleted the files after being burned to save space on my hard drive. So I made a new image of the burned project with disk utility. I opened up iMovie HD 6.0.3 and imported the movie but I get no audio and the audio folder for new disk image doesn't have anything in the folder. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

IMovie 11 - Import new pics to existing project bug. Any help?

Hello there, I have something of a humdinger of a bug to share. Any help would be appreciated.
I have an existing set of projects (17 to be precise) which I have saved until today to add additional media to (2 week gap). The projects themselves are slideshows of pictures. Today I began dragging new pictures to the projects which at first seemed fine, but I later realised there was a problem.
The Problem.
New pictures seem to successfully import to the project. But do not show on the preview, instead a seemingly random photo from earlier in the project is shown often looking stretched. Background music plays fine. And the pics look correct in the little image of them on the 'timeline'.
To say again. The project will preview fine up until the new photos. Then the correct number of photos play out but with images from earlier in the project.
Solutions?
I have a couple of ideas on how to solve this problem that will allow me to complet the projects, but each one is extra work which I am hopefully not needing to do. If this was just a single project then I would do that but as I said I am doing 17 at once.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think I mixed media formats on the same card, other than my Canon camcorder uses default formats of .JPG for still photos and .MTS for its video clips, on the same SD card. This hasn't been a problem before with iMovie.
Once I started using HandBrake, maybe I shouldn't have converted to .MP4 on my MacBook as the intermediate format, but the .MP4 did import into iMovie, I believe converting it again, this time into a .MOV/AIC format. The 2 videos I thought I'd lost weren't ones that had to be in the highest quality, so if I lost a little quality in the double-conversion, I'm ok with it this time.
I'm wondering if I may have had a corruption on the SD card. The videos that iMovie '11 had previously imported weren't showing in iMovie any longer, but newer videos did show up. Programs like VLC and HandBrake could read the recent .MTS files from the SD card, but maybe the other files in the file structure of MTS streams were the issue. My camcorder wouldn't do a full format of the card - had an error, but could do a quick format. I did a repair on the SD card using Disk Utility on the Mac and then was able to fully format the SD card, so let's hope that was the problem, and not some new pickiness or read/write issue in iMovie '11.

How do you move new photos into existing albums?

On an iPad how do you move a new photo into an existing album?

Or, from the camera roll:
Tap Select (upper right hand corner)
Tap the pictures you want to add to an album (you'll see a check mark in each selected photo)
Tap Add To (upper left hand corner)
Your albums will appear and touch the album you want to move the picture to and they'll go there
Note: They will stay in your Camera Roll as well

Can not add new VMS into existing clustered server pool

For some reason, we reinstall VMM (3.1.1-416) with existing UUID and rediscover all VMSs. The process went smooth and the whole system looks clean without dead objects any more. The guest VMs are all working fine. However, the new added VMS in unassigned servers are not displayed in the "Available Servers" when we want to add into existing clustered server pool, but it is shown when we add into unclustered server pool. Anyone has clue or possible way to debug what's wrong.
Thanks,

OAF - Add/Import Page XML file into existing project

Friends, need little help. I have a partial oracle iExpense project installed on my machine. Mostly the custome code/packages. I have a requirement of fixing something on the iExpense seeded page below.
/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/GeneralInformationPG
The problem is that it doesnt save the data if we click on the Save button at first go, and put the old values back into the fields. But right after that if we make changes again and hit the save button second time it Saves successfully. Weird eh...??? Does any body guide me what could be the possible problem? or how to resolve it?
Also my question is that GeneralInformationPG doesnt showup in my project even though it exist in the folder. So i cant realy see this XMl file in jdeveloper. How can i register it or add/import into the existing project so i could start debugging?
Thanks

Please ask this on the {forum:id=210} forum.

Importing additional images into a project

hi
i have four folders in my 'pictures' folder in finder which i have imported into aperture as projects. from time to time i will add images to these folders, and would like the projects in aperture to update accordingly. the only method i can think of for doing this is to reimport the folder into the project, but then i get duplicate images for all of the images that i have previously imported into the project. is there a way of not importing duplicates, or of linking the project to the folder so that the projects can be kept in sync with the folders? this isn't an issue for importing photos from my camera as i can specify the project and the folder the images are to go in. but i also need to import other images from my local drive, and can't find a way to do this.
thanks
nick

According to this article Aperture cannot be made to ignore duplicates during import.
http://homepage.mac.com/bagelturf/qanda/files/748a02154c549678336aa62de8ff863e-3 1.html
Could you not import from smart folders located within your main folders that separated images according to date created thereby preventing the import of duplicates?
