Rulers/guides in FCE?

Is there a view mode that shows rulers in FCE? Also can you set up guides like in Livetype, Photoshop etc.
I'm just wondering if there is a better way to line up clips, images, etc. than by just the eyeballs.

They look like very useful plugins Tom.

  • Are there rulers/guides in Captivate 4?

    Hi,
    Are there rulers/guides in Captivate 4? The only options I
    see are a grid.
    Thanks,

    Hi there
    Nope, no rulers or guides. Just the grid.
    I've uploaded some images that may be used for rulers and
    guides. If you want, these are on the Captivate Exchange.

  • Keynote unexpected error while using rulers/guides

    Hi all,
    I just bought Keynote '09 because I was frustrated with Powerpoint and wanted to run a presentation on my iPad (bought the iOS version, too, but this issue pertains to the Mac OS version).
    I imported a .pptx file that was working okay in Powerpoint, but I wanted to fine-tune the leading, so I selected "Show Rulers" and "Show Guides" from the View menu. As soon as I clicked on a ruler, I got an error message, "An unexpected error has occurred. Please quit and reopen Keynote."
    This happened a few times. Sometimes, I could actually get a guide to work, but when I tried to place another guide, I would get the same error.
    These appear to be the offending lines in Console:
    1/24/13 7:49:26.296 AM Keynote[23136]: -[__NSSetI addObject:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x906f3a0
    1/24/13 7:49:26.297 AM Keynote[23136]: Exception caught by top level: NSInvalidArgumentException : -[__NSSetI addObject:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x906f3a0
    Any ideas? There are workarounds, such as using palettes to help align text from slide to slide, but this is a basic page layout feature that should work!
    Hardware is an early 2011 MBP 15" 2.3GHz i7 running ML 10.8.2.
    Thanks!

    I want to add that I also got the same error with almost the same info in the console:
    8/12/13 1:25:21.903 PM Keynote[2810]: -[__NSSetI addObject:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x9013eb0
    8/12/13 1:25:21.904 PM Keynote[2810]: Exception caught by top level: NSInvalidArgumentException : -[__NSSetI addObject:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x9013eb0
    I'm editing a regular Keynote presentation and I drag a guide from the ruler.  Then I get the An unexpected error has occurred. Please quit and reopen Keynote. message.  I can still use Keynote without closing out.  When I re-open the presentation I dragged the guide into, the guide dissapears.
    I tried duplicating the error with a number of different Keynote presentations both local and on iCloud.  Same thing.

  • Guides, cropping, scaling and accurate video placement

    I'm disappointed with the apparent lack of tools to accurately place videos (pip) within a 1080p (or otherwise) sequence.
    I have a 1080p sequence, and four 720p videos that I want to crop and then scale and position to fit each quadrant of the final video - each PiP would be exactly 960x540 pixels.
    The crop effect is ok, but doesn't show you "pixel" units, only %. The Motion effect does show pixels but positions everything relative to the centre of the original video (after scaling)
    I would have expected the crop effect to change the bounding box of the video and maybe the ability to precisely define the size in pixels and zoom in percentage but no....
    Not that this matters of course because there are no "rulers" / "guides" or otherwise to snap to anyway so positioning would still be a pain.
    According to similar posts on the forum you can make "image based transparent guides" but these don't offer the ability to snap videos in place either and I like being precise - dragging stuff around on the screen by eye doesn't fill me with warm fuzzy feelings.
    I've worked around this issue using basic maths (essentially since I'm cropping to 1/2 the original videos dimensions I set the scale to 150% and just calculate the positional offsets using 1920*(0.5-%crop) and 1080*(0.5-%crop) and then adding multiples of 1920/2 and 1080/2 to define which quadrant I want the video in.
    Surely there must be a better way, rather than resorting to pen and paper?

    Then the track matte would come in.
    With a matte you can pick out any section of the frame.
    nest it.
    Set anchor point exactly on the top left corner of the visibel frame.
    Now you can positon the pip like in post 5.

  • Pages 5.1 Templates

    Is there a way to get My Templates to open with View Settings (re. rulers, guides and layout showing) that were in effect when I saved the template?
    Thanks!

    Nope. Why not?  Ask Apple.You might say, "But if you actually *use* these programs for *work,* all this — setting the defauly zoom, rulers, etc. — are HUGE conveniences."  But it's by no means clear that producing programs that people can use effectively is what Apple is all about these days.

  • I don't have Mini Bridge in my Photoshop

    So I was making a GIF project and found out that I needed to use Mini Bridge but I don't have it in the tabs on the right side of Photoshop.
    I tried going to Windows to open it through Extentions but it was greyed out. And I also went to Edit>Preferences to go open up startup scripts but the only things there was Interface, File Handling, Performance, Cursors, Transparency & Gamut, Units & Rulers, Guides Grid & Slices, Plug-in, and Type.
    Can anyone please help me? It would be much appreciated
    -Daryl

    When I use Browse in Bridge it says
    Error 2: Photoshop is Undefined
    Line: 1
    -> photoshop.invokeBridge[false, false, ");
    And my Browse in Mini Bridge is Grayed out

  • In Adobe X, where did the "marquee zoom" and "single page scrolling" buttons go?

    There are many other buttons that were available in earlier versions that are no longer there. 
    For single page with scrolling, apparently you now have to go View\Page Display\single page and then View\Page Display\Enable Scrolling, where before I had it on my toolbar, one-click and done.
    Same for marquee zoom, I had a button, one-click and grab part of a page and you instantly had a close up.  Now it's go find the menu, View\Zoom\Marquee Zoom, THEN go grab your page.
    When going to a new version, if the feature is still there, don't REDUCE the ways in which to turn it on, or make it so when you open a document it automatically turns off the feature you were just using in a previous document.
    Let the users move the Quick Tools toolbars around, combine on one line, use the previous interface etc.  People who use software like this daily in their jobs (like me!) don't like having changes forced on them when their company chooses to update versions.  It's great when new useful features are added, but not at the cost of removing the stuff we already use all the time.

    Go to View - Show/Hide - Rulers & Guides, and un-tick the Snap to Grid
    option.

  • How can I work with facing pages in pages ver 5

    I have become very dependant on the facing pages display in older versions of Pages.  For design and page layout for booklets it is most essential.
    I have downloaded (upgraded) to version 5 of Pages and cannot figure out how to get the facing pages display back.  My booklets all show now as a long list of single page thumbnails.
    My question is how to display facing pages.  Without this feature version 5 is a downgrade not an upgrade.

    I would like to add my voice and concerns to Frank's post and second abra100pro's requests. Why eliminate such crucial features?
    Please Apple: bring back:
    Facing pages
    Vertical rulers
    Guides
    proper opening of an older pages document w/o deleting stuff in tables,...!

  • Most easy way of element measurement? Sizeless elements!

    Hi, What is most easy way to measure elements for background pictures-size, when working with expanding elements with no size.
    For example a form that took a certain size because of al the elements in it, but has no real size. How do you  find out  the size for the background of that element without using rulers guides and  calculator ?!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I fear my poor English skills make me upset by the bill, I think I don't understand your concern exactly. Because drawings for me are a language too, so I tried to rewrite your question so as I understand it. (Images from my German DW)
    1. background image, size width 450px
    or 2. Inserted image, size 258/117px
    Is it that you/we all are talking about? If not, perhaps you could repeat your question again in simple English.Hans-G.

  • Finding out true size of doc that has trim or crop marks on it?

    I've received a doc that I need to know what the true page size is. The document was created with crop marks, so when I get info about it, it just tells me the size of the page including the crops marks... but I need to know what size the page actually is when cropped. Please advise.

    The easiest way I can think of it to show rulers: View > Show/Hide > Rulers & Guides > Rulers (or Cmd/Ctrl-R).
    Zoom in and see how much space was added beyond the trim box.

  • Guides/Rulers in Camera RAW?

    Using the newest version of ACR and CS4 extended - is there a way to display Rulers and/or Guides in the RAW interface? I crop images and based on the way I shoot, and the way I present my photos - having certain visual elements at 50% (for example) - dead center in the image is important.
    I know I can do it and re-crop once in PS - but because of my process I need that to happen in the RAW interface first - thoughts? Use a real ruler held up to my monitor?
    Thanks ya'll

    Not quite sure what you mean, but if you're contemplating putting a real ruler against your monitor, look into Free Ruler instead;

    There should be something similar for Windows somewhere, if you're not on a Mac.
