Replacing footage with image sequence

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to replace footage with an image sequence. It seems like when I choose replace footage and navigate to my image sequence there is nothing I am able to check off for image sequence. So basically if I have an image sequence in my timeline, I can only replace it with a movie which defeats the purpose of using an image sequence. Thanks in advance!

You need to have a single directory filled with one or more supported still images which are named with a number a the end for the 'Image Sequence' checkbox to be un-grayed out in the 'Import', 'Replace Footage' or 'Locate Files' dialog. From the screenshot above, it looks like you've met all those criteria and that the checkbox is not even there, as opposed to being present but dim. On windows 8 (which it looks like you're on) that checkbox would be in between the 'File Name' label and the bottom of the file list area. The fact that you're not there makes me think your on an older version before we had all the relevant features. I'd have to check to remember just when that would have been, but I know that as of CS6 the 'Image Sequence' dialog was definitely there for the Locate Files and Import dialogs, so it's reasonable that it was an option in the replace footage dialog too. It may be something system specific which is not allowing all the UI to draw in correctly when using OS dialogs. In that case, Kevin's suggestion might still be viable since the Link & Locate workflow uses its own Premiere UI instead of OS dialogs.

Replace words with images, in a table, using the search/replace tool

Hello everybody
I have a question:
Is it possible to replace words with images, in a table, using the search/replace tool?
My case:
I have a table with about 9000 articles on about 400 pages. In this table there are words which I like to replace with Logos.
Example: The word "DM" should be the Logo "DM" (.eps). This word is about 1200 times in this table.
Is it possible to replace it automatically?
Thank you very much for your helb.
Kind regards Alex

Hello Mr. Werner
Thank you for your reply.
Can I ask you which Version of InDesign do you use?
I use CS 5.5 and there I can't find the change field "other" you told me.
Can you see it on the screenshot? (Sorry it is german...)
Thank you very much for your support.
Kind regards Alex

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.
We cannot guarantee you satisfaction as this is a user supported forum. The is no SLA for community support. Perhaps if you posted a better worded question as a new topic someone might be able to help you resolve your issue.
The topic you are posting on is closed and answered.

Replace Footage with Current Effects and Attributes Applied to New Clip

I made a mock-up commercial with comp videos from a website and now need to replace them with the paid versions of the clips. Is there an easy way to replace the footage and keep all the attributes and effects I put on the comps? I tried the replace function but fcp told me "Insufficient content for edit."

Tom's right there, you can't replace a ten-seconds clip with an eightsecond clip.
But also look up the paste attributes function. This allows you to keep all of your attributes while replacing just the media.
*Copying and Pasting Specific Clip Attributes*
*Clip attributes are all the parameter settings applied to a clip—for example, motion parameter settings, audio and video filters and their parameter settings, speed parameter settings, and so on. Copying and pasting selected clip attributes is a quick way to add nearly any attribute to other clips in an edited sequence. You can copy motion paths, frame cropping, and animated filter effects from one video clip to another.*
*Suppose you have just applied three filters and a speed setting to one clip, and you decide that you want exactly the same effects to be applied to several other clips in the sequence. Instead of re-creating each setting clip by clip, you can simply copy the first clip, select the other clips, and paste only the specific settings you want into all of them simultaneously.*
*When you copy a clip from the Timeline, you also copy all of its attributes. Instead of pasting duplicates of the clip you copied with all of its attributes, you can:*
*Paste specific video or audio attributes that you want into other clips in your sequence.*
*Paste only the clip’s video or audio content, with none of the attributes, so that the content of a clip is replaced. In other words, you can replace the clip but keep the parameter settings of the original clip.*

Replacing footage with an alpha channel

greetings gurus... I'm working in FCP 5.1 with DVCPRO HD footage 720p @23.98fps. I have an edited sequence of green screen footage that I am happy with. I then keyed out the green from the original source footage and exported that footage with an alpha channel (the background keyed out in AE7). My goal is to open my FCP project and replace the original source footage with the new keyed out footage so that my edit remains in tact but now with a keyed out background. I'm using the reconnect media function in FCP and of course the footage is replaced, but without the alpha channel.
When I import the keyed out footage directly the alpha channel is present; it just isn't present via the reconnect media method.
Any suggestions on how to pull this off?

it may be that for whatever reason FCP is not interpreting the alpha channel correctly when you use the reconnect option. for example, the reconnect option may assume that clip properties are unchanged. this may be esspecially true within the timeline, where instance properties are preserved.
you may be able to manually overcome this by adjusting the alpha channel information in the clip properties window
select one of the reconnected clips (one with the alpha channel from AE) and press cmd-9. see what setting is reported for the alpha channel. if it says None, try changing it to Straight.

How to Replace Footage with an AVCHD .MTS?

I have a sequence edited together from what I thought was a master H264 M4V. I now find out that the real master is AVCHD. So how can I replace my M4V footage with an MTS?
If I do a Replace Footage, I can see multiple AVCHD MTS Streams and the usual mess of folders inside a BDMV folder, but I seem to only be able to import via Media Browser. Replace Footage doesn't work with files already in Premiere, right?
I've only worked with AVCHD files once before, so I'm a little lost.

Jim, I'm sure we've had this discussion before..... but it's not the fault of either the camera makers OR Mac users Since I'm now using both Mac and Windows 7 equally, I really have no axe to grind against either company.
This is entriely the fault of Microsoft who were unwilling to license NTFS to other companies, including Apple, Linux etc, added to the fact that NTFS is not suitable for lower powered devices with small amounts of embedded RAM. NTFS is simply too complicated for them to handle using small microcontrollers, so hoping for NTFS on cameras is folly in my mind. It's just not going to happen.
Apple, like Linux also have a file system that can handle larger files, larger even than NTFS. The Linux file system is also open source and royalty free, so could be used free of charge by lots of camera manufacurors if they wanted to (excpet it's also a lot more complicated than FAT32), but Microsoft choose not to support it (i.e. you couldn't read the cards on Windows), probably to try block Linux getting an even stronger hold on their server market than it has already.
The fact is that FAT32 was simple to implement for small memory devices of years gone by and nothing has come along to replace it that was (a) easy on the CPU / RAM and (b) royalty free.
There's no reason they couldn't implement a FAT64, FAT128 etc, though Microsoft would probably be the sticking point there too.....
UDF was supposed to be a new replacement that could be universal (hence the name Universal Disk Format), and indeed it's easy to use in read only format (UDF 1.2 is used by even the lowest powered DVD player from 15 years ago!) but to write to UDF takes a lot more power and memory. Also, the UDF format has evolved and is now even more complicated than before. So, UDF is not an option either.
So, yes, the 2GB limited is caused by a 2s compliment implementation of a 32 bit file system (tecnically it could do almost 4GB, allowing for FAT terminators etc, but they only use 31 bits for the file size, which allows for reverse seeking), in a FAT (File Allocation Table) format.
Finding the next lowest common denominator is the task I hope they pull off soon. While we can all usually work around the 2GB limit (by joining files) it would be much easier to have complete files in the first place

How to create an animation with Image Sequence?

Im have Quicktime Pro and I want to make an animation. I tried selecting some pictures I have saved "random," but I could only select 1 at a time. So, Im thinking that making an Image Sequence is a separate operation from making it come alive? My question, how do I create an "image sequence?" Say I have a digital cam and I take 20 pictures? Thanks!

NEVERMIND!!!! I figured it out!! So once I have all the photos (ex: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...) in a folder, I open image sequence with photo 1 and then it automatically collects the other images! Got it! Im sorry!!

Replacing bullets with images

Are there plans to add the option of replacing the bullets in a bulleted list with images, as you can do in Word? Our current workaround is to insert the image as a background image through the CSS with appropriate spacing, but this isn't very accurate.

Hello Michael,
Since the rendering of bullets is up to the browser, we don't have much control over that other than what the browser can provide. According to CSS, I believe the correct style to use would be "list-style-image," but it is not well-supported, and the ICE browser in OHJ does not currently support it.
I am not sure what MS Word does, but when you save a Word file as HTML, it does all sorts of strange things to the HTML. For example, a quick test showed that saving a list (with custom bullets) as HTML created a series of P elements with things like ^ 
You could do things like that, too, but it isn't good HTML.

Search .docx and replace text with image

I've got a directory containing a series of images. The images will always be the same name and I need to insert them into placeholders in a Word document which will be a template. I thought of using the image names as placeholders, opening the document
and searching for the image name, replacing it by inserting the image, and doing so for each image in the directory.
$file is the name of the image in the directory and it loops through them okay.
foreach($file in Get-ChildItem $savepath -Filter *.jpg)
# search word doc and replace selected text with image ($file)
Also inserting the image seems simple enough from a TechNet article I found, but I've got no idea how to open the Word document and do a search and replace. I found a few articles related to the subject but I couldn't get them to work when I tried to adapt
them.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This 'might' be possible, but I'm having a hard time finding good references to the com object capabilities for inserting an image into a word document. Creating new, converting format, that sort of thing is straightforward.
I'd do a search on "powershell word comobject" and variations of insert image update edit, etc. Or maybe someone else with more experience/knowledge has a magic bullet for you. Once you get some info on doing it with powershell, expand
your search by omitting the powershell keyword, there's gotta be some solid documentation for the comobject somwhere, but it will probably be a bit complex.
You can also:
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$doc = $word.documents.add("<path to word document>"
and get-member to your heart's content, but finding references and/or documentation might be easier.
Good luck!
Edit: This could help, but really doesn't give much insight into placement of the image, only helps getting the image into the doc: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/44ffc6c8-131f-42f1-b24b-ff92230b2e0a

Replace text with images

Hi,
I'm using a script found here, to replace @equ001.pdf@ with the corresponding image, same for eq002 etc.
This script works more or less ok for me.
Sometimes, it removes some image names without replacing the image, sometimes it was leaving some "@" here and there.
Sometimes, it's giving me an error on the "place image" code, saying it cannot find the image, giving it's path ending with the grep expression $2 and doesn't work at all.
Sometimes it does part of the job, stops, gives the same error as above, and continues to work when I click ok.
Today, it didn't worked on a document. I copied the text to work on into a new InDesign document an there, it worked (but in two times).
Is there any other way of doing this ?
if(app.documents.length != 0){
 var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ('Choose a folder with images');
 if(myFolder != null){
 // reset the Find/Change dialog
 app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
 // formulate a grep search string
 app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '@.+?@';
 // find all occurrence, last one first
 f = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true);
 for (i = 0; i < f.length; i++){
 // construct file name
 name = f[i].contents.replace (/@/g, '');
 // place the image
 var placedObjects = f[i].insertionPoints[0].place (File (myFolder.fsName + '/' + name));
 // delete all @??@ codes
 app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
else{
 alert('Please open a document and try again.');

You should process the found instances back to front:
for (i = f.length-1; i >= 0; i--)

Feature Request: Please allow us to merge audio with image sequence in AME.

So far the only programs that allow this (that I'm aware of anyway) are the old version of QuickTime Pro, and Apple's Compressor. I simply want to add an image sequence to AME, and combine an audio track to that image sequence for export. This would save me an extra step. 80% of my work begins and ends in After Effects. I do very little video editing, so most of my exports are rendered from AE and then exported from Quicktime or Compressor to whatever file my clients request (Most often ProRes for a master version, and h264 or x264 Quicktime files for the web).
Is it possible we might see this feature added anytime soon? Thanks!

This is a good feature request and should be submitted here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
The team reviews all the requests that come in through that form. It is a guaranteed way to get your request seen while we do not always see everything that gets posted to the forums.

Cs3- Help with Image sequence *ghosting* ?

Hi guys- newbie here that needs a little help.
Check out the attached screenshot of a paused .mov I put together. What type of things/settings can cause this? How do I make an exported image sequence play as a smooth succession of sharp and CLEAR images?
Thanks for your insights/time!
Mike

Here is an illustration of what might be happening. This is shown as it would appear on separate Video Tracks, in A-B Roll editing, as an example.
If the Duration of a set of Clips is shorter than the Duration of a Transition, then PrPro will have to "create" frames to allow for the Handles of the Transition(s).
If your Transitions are a full one sec. and your FPS = 24, the Transitions will take up 12 Frames per Clip. As each Clip has half of two Transitions, the Clip needs to be slightly longer than the 2 halves of the Transitions. Since you cannot edit to less than a single Frame, the Clips need to be at least 24 Frames and I'd look at 25 Frames long, or PrPro will create extra Frames from the first and the last Frames in the Clip - in your case the still frames that are repeated.
Hope that this helps and also cures your problem,
Hunt

Can you hel me?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a couple of questions for you… How come you have strings in text frames… Would you not be better off using labels for this…? ( thats how I would do this ). Off the top of my head I think you will need to remove any text content from the frame to be able to change it's content type… only then will you be able to place a graphic… How are you associating your strings with the required image files… Do you have this in some extenal file Excel or FMP.

Replacing footage with composition

Hi there, I'm sure there's a way to do this, but it's eluding me.
I have a layer in my project which is used in multiple places in multiple comps.
I also have a composition which uses other layers to accomplish a similar effect.
I would like to replace every instance of the layer in every comp with the composition.
Replacing one layer with another layer is relatively straightforward. But I can't figure out how to replace a layer with a composition, aside from tracking every instance down and option-dragging it. There's got to be a simpler way, right?
Thanks!

No not, really. This would only work the other way around by using "Replace usage" on the render queue to substitute comps with footage. Perhaps some script wizard has tackled this, but off the top of my head I'm not aware that such a script is publicly available. Maybe check AEnhancers...
