Saving iMovie '08 files for '06 use?

I just installed iMovie 08 so I use a AVCHD camera. Works great. But '08 seems to lacking many features, plus its really confusing (totally different from '06). I thought you could import into 08, save then open and edit in 06. I can't even figure out how to "save as" in 08. I found the 08 files (automatically named "my first project" and "event....") but can't open either in 06. HELP!

The Web site below has a good comparison of Apple video products.

Thanks for the info - I read in forums and told by others that iMovie 08 readily reads video formats that '06 was not able to. So I had the assumption that '08 was an upgrade from 06. The sole reason I got '08 is for the ease of transferring my MOD extension files from my Canon FS100. Previously, I had to use Sq5 streamclip to convert the MOD files before I can do any edits in 06.
Now the clips from the camcorder readily transfer to iMovie08 but can't be opened with 06 directly, I still have to go the extra step and save the clips then open it with '06 for edits. So much for my thinking of the ease of transfer benefit!

Saving a JPEG file for printing

When saving a JPEG file for printing using Elements9, should one use "baseline standard, optimized or progressive"?

Thanks, Andromeda.... I see that PSE8 Organizer has the ability to update the Caption as you have described. The caption appears in the Description field in the General area and in the Description field in the IPTC area of the image file. I was unable to update the Title or any other fields using Organizer. Looks like PSE8 Editor must be used to update all the metadata fields in the image file. Thus far, the only way I have been able to update the metadata in a JPEG file without having to re-compress it is with a HEX editor. This, however, is a slow process at best. Too bad Organizer or Editor does not provide the abilty to update all fields in the metadata without having to recompress the file. I am not a programmer; however, it would appear to be a fairly straight-forward process. Thanks, again.

Saving InDesign CS4 files for InDesign CS2

I'm about to upgrade from CS3 to CS4 but have a client who needs to open documents I create InDesign CS2. I've been saving files for this clients in CS3's interchange (.inx) format, which has worked fine. But CS4 .inx files will only open in CS3. One work around I found was on TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/08/tuaw-tip-saving-indesign-cs4-files-for-indesign-cs2/), which suggests opening the .inx file in a text editor and changing the version number. The resulting file should then open in CS4. I was wondering if anyone has tried this (with or without success) or has any advice on saving CS4 docs for CS2? Thanks very much!

I'll go with option 3 since I no longer have CS2 on my machine and my
client won't be upgrading anytime soon. Thanks for the help and great
advice.
I'd never use this workflow if I couldn't test it on CS2 before sending it off to the client. Don't know what to tell you here... good luck?
Me, harsh? Is that my rep?
Oh, come on. I can say it another way:
"Peter's going to be way too nice about this... DON'T DO IT."

Help me out to get the jar files for FileUpload using MyFaces.

hi,
Can anyone help to get the jar files for FileUpload using MyFaces.
I want myfaces-extensions.jar and commons-fileupload-1.0.jar.
Thank you.

you can't control the speed of a for-loop.
you can remove your code from a for-loop and use a function to execute the code in your for-loop and you control how frequently you call the function.

How to Reduce/Save Large iMovie Imported File for DVD

8/24/2006. Question: I used a PYRO A/V to convert a 122 minute two hour videotape (made in 1989 Slow Speed with some camcorder then) from a good VCR to my iBook Mac G4 (2004. combo drive. 30 Gb free. OS 10.3.9 Also iLife 6 and the latest iMovie 6 and iDVD 6 apple downloads). The analog to digital file came out fine, except a few frames clipped off the first second of audio, but OK. Now then I have a file of 24.5 Gb. So I saved it from iMovie as QuickTime movie, which took half a day, ending up with a file of 536 mgs. But I want to save the clip as a 4.5 Gb file for a DVD. I have a LaCie external D2 Dual Layer DVD-/+RW Drive. When I go into SHARE, should I then go into at the bottom of the menu SHARE and use expert settings, and if so, then what settings?? What settings--or other--should I use to reduce the 24.5 file Gb to 4.5 Gb?? Many thanks. Chuck Yopst. [email protected] 847-394-5621 Molunt Prospect, Illinois (nw Chicago suburb)

8/29/2006. Michael, Thank you. You are very helful, seriously, and a good friend. I couldn't do what you suggested yet--for iDVD Themes . . . or iDVD--File--Save to Disc, because I have only 5.6 Gb free and it requires 7.9 or more (nor from iMovie thus either), but I'll try to move some files elsewhere to my external drive to free up my Hard Drive to do this. BUT Toast 7 video is saving the whole file--three parts 59 and 22 and 32 minutes, total 113 minutes. You opened these options for me. Many, many thanks and best wishes. Chuck

How can I export songs with full info (INCLUDING LYRICS) to file for future use? [x]

Hi everyone,
I got my new iPod touch 4th gen, and I spend literally all day to edit songs' info like Artist, Lyrics, Album... with like thousand songs.. Then I've tried to export them fully for future use as back up, but I could not find any option to do so. Exporting library and playlist only saves info for basic tags but no lyrics in it. So what should I do? I've tried iTunes Export and mp3Tag but I still could not do it.
I would appreciate much any help for me to back up full information of songs for future use.
Regards,
[x]

Thanks for the responses.
I forgot to mention the dimensions I need the file to be at, sorry. Overnight Prints requires that the uploaded file be at 2.13 inches wide by 6.13 inches high (or 638 by 1838 pixels) at 300 dpi. I think I understand what Scott Falkner means by pixels are not a unit of measure. However, I have been using inches in Illustrator, with the file being set to the height and width (in inches) required by Overnight Prints.
Here is what I have uploaded to Overnight Prints so far:
- Illustrator file set to 2.13 inches wide by 6.13 inches high – Upload preview on Overnight Prints is correct size, but shows the bookmark as pixelated/blurry.
- Saved above Illustrator file as copy: “Press Quality Preset” PDF – Upload preview on Overnight Prints is correct size, but the bookmark is still pixelated/blurry.
- Exported same Illustrator file as a PNG (638 pixels wide by 1838 pixels high - 300dpi) – Upload preview on Overnight Prints is correct size, but shows the bookmark as pixelated/blurry.
- Creating an Illustrator file at 638 by 1838 pixels makes any file that is uploaded preview on Overnight Prints as too large, but not pixelated/blurry (I think I now understand why, just covering all my bases).
So, I guess my more specific question would be:
How can I create a file that I can upload to Overnight Prints (TIF, PDF, JPG, EPS, PNG, or AI) that ends up at the dimensions (in inches) required, while not appearing (at least in the upload preview) as low resolution (pixelated/blurry)?
Thanks in advance for any responses (especially to such a novice question).

Logo Kit help- how to prepare logo files for office use?

Hi, I need assistance preparing ready-made logo files for our office owners to use. So far, I have the following that I've created in Illustrator:
1. EPS files with Pantone colors for professional printing (publications, ads, brochures, business cards, etc)
2. I converted the EPS files into RGB 72 dpi JPEG and GIF files (small, medium, and large sizes) for various online and digital uses (PowerPoint presentations, e-mails, online forms, social media pages, etc.)
3. I also converted the EPS files into CMYK 300 dpi TIF files for in-house printing (in small, medium, and large sizes)
#3 is where I need the most assistance. These files are for the office owners to import and arrange into their own publications that will be printed inside their own office. During the test run, I was notified of color variances that were happening- the logo files were being inserted into Word documents that were then converted into PDFs. In a few cases (when the document was saved as PDF, or exported as a PDF in the print preview), the colors appeared pretty accurate (at least on screen, they were not printed) but in a case when the document was being exported as a PDF in the Adobe Standard Add-on, the colors were very off (appeared much more vibrant). During researching the issue, I am starting to lean on provided these types of files with RGB colors (especially if they will be using them in Microsoft Office). Let me know if this is correct - I am still a bit confused though, since I've always thought that files that are to be printed must be in CMYK, not RGB.
How should I be preparing these types of files?
Thanks!
Also, any quick tips for the EPS or online RGB file preparation when saving? I made sure to embed colors in the RGB files for color consistency within browsers. For the EPS, I made sure to embed fonts. Anything else I should be keeping my eye out for?

if the color conversion would be accurate to the original that way.
If you worry about that in the context of using Office apps, you might as well shoot yourself or jump out of the next window. You simply won't know and unless they work on calibrated monitors and printers (which is extremely unlikely) your precautions with embedding color profiles and all that mean pretty much nothing. The same for your web stuff - unless there is an active monitor color profile on the system, browsers won't do any color management. That's even more the case for mobile devices. So in summary, you can really only output it based on your calibration and hope it matches their systems and a standard sRGB profile reasonably well.

Moving an iMovie project file for editing on a different iMac

Does anyone know if an iMovie project file started on one iMac can be saved to a usb drive or dvd/cd to be opened on another iMac computer to continue editing? What I have done before is go to: movies>iMovie projects>selected file and save the selected file to a usb drive. I also save the pictures and voice overs/music files that I used with the iMovie project on the same usb drive. However, when I open the iMovie project file on another iMac all of the work that I had previously done is not there. I end up starting all over. I would like to start my project at home and do any finishing touches on the second iMac in order to decrease the time I have to spend at the second location. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When you move files to your second iMac, they need to be in the EXACT location. If you have your videos and photos in a folder on your desktop named "Movie Stuff," and you just throw them into a folder in documents called "Stuff" on your second iMac, iMovie will not recognize the files. You need to create the same path as the first iMac. In this case, you would have to make a folder called "Movie Stuff" on your second iMac's desktop, and move the files there.
Hope this helped!

How to search a .csv file for data using its timestamp, then import to labview

Hi, I'm currently obtaining density, viscosity and temperature data from an instrument, adding a timestamp and writing it to a .csv file which I can view in Excel. This works fine (see attached code) but what I need to do now is to search that csv file for data which was obtained at a certain time, import the temperature, density & viscosity values at this time back into Labview to do some calculations with them, while the data acquisition process is still ongoing.
I've found various examples on how to import an entire csv file into labview, but none on how to extract data at a specific time. Also, whenever I try to do anything with the .csv file while my data acquistion VI is running, I receive error messages (presumably because I'm trying to write to and import data from the .csv file simultaneously). Is there some way around this, maybe using case structures?
If you need to know my skill level, I've been using Labview for a few weeks and prior to that have basically no experience of writing code, so any help would be great. Thanks!

It sounds as if you are going about this a little backwards writing to a data file and then extracting from the file but its the weekend so I can't think of an improved way to do it at the moment.
Searching for a specific time with those specific values is quite easy, or if you wanted to select any time then you could interpolate the values to find any value that you want (This is where the contiguous measurement comes in, as you have readings at discrete times you will have to interpolate the values if you want to get the 'measured value' at a time point that is not exactly one of your measured points).
If you can extract the TDMS time column and the T, D & V then simply thresholding and interpolating each of your array/data sets should allow readings at your desired times.

"dtutil", how to tell which configuration file for packages using after deployment?

Hello All,
Trying to achieve this feature,
Using DOS command to automatic my deployment process--glad I found dtutil. However, it doesnt give you any chance to identify which configuration file to be used by SSIS packages after deployment.
Deployment Method: file deployment
Configuration sued: XML file and SQL Table. IN XML file, it tells which DB connection for packages to look up the configuration table.
Who can share some thoughts on this?
Derek

It is NOT about sequence.
It is about how to point which configuration file to be used by deployed packages as during the "dtutil.exe"
deployment, you dont have chance to identify which physical location confg files to be used.
Derek
That you do only at the time of execution of packages. By default it uses configuration settings created at design time within the package. If you want to override it, you can use \Configfile switch of dtexec for that. You can also set explicit values for
properties using /SET switch

Use iMovie on iOS for Commercial Use

I am a real estate agent who wants to use the iOS version of imovie for home tours and publish them on my website. This would be consider commercial use and just wanted to konw if I will run into any trouble if I use iOS imovie in this manner. I did read over the licese and it seems I am not allowed to use any Audio content. But I just wondered if you are allowed to use the program to edit and for its texts and transitions for commercial purposes. I can always use the royal free music youtube provides for the music, but just wanted to see if I was ok with using it to create for commercial movies and clips...Thanks

Welcome to the club. :-)
The iPad is not as powerful as a Mac, and they cannot share software, as they have different operating systems.
There are two versions of iMovie available, one for Macs and an app for iPads. Their capabilities are different. Do your research. :-)

Converting sequence or QT file for Web use

I have a short 13-minute sequence that I need to convert to a QT file in order to then convert to flash for posting to our Web site. I've done this multiple times today with no luck in reducing the file size. By exporting using Quick Time Conversion, using my default settings for compression (H.264) type, the file size of the final .mov file was 200-some MB. After changing my settings to a lower quality final product, I now have a file .mov that is 2GB!?
I have several files that I'll need to convert QT files for posting to the Web. The lengths range from 5 minutes to an hour.
Can anyone give me any kind of advice on the best way to convert to a QT file resulting in a smaller file size? If I am making something very simple, very difficult, please lend your thoughts!

Hi there,
FCP may estimate unusual time remaining but usually that estimate is not accurate. When I export to H.264 very often it appears that FCP hangs on 7% but thing is it eventually will encode within 15 minutes. Circumstances change from case to case (machine specs, length of movie, export settings).
Set an IN and OUT on a portion of your timeline and export again to test quality and the time your machine require to encode.

Illustrator eps saving problem - this file is in use

I use Illustrator CS5.1 eps drawings in my Quark 9.3.1.1 files. I've recently been getting a new problem when altering these and saving them while the Q9 document containing the original illustration is open. Illustrator says it can't save as the file is in use by another application. It then makes a temp file. The only way around it seemes to be to save with a different name - deeply boring. Sometimes it just crashes. I'm on Lion 10.7.4.

Try closing quark, then see if you can save your .eps. Still dont work, close down all other apps. You have all the latest updats so trying to determine what has a hold on your file, if not an app then are you on a server?

Import/export of files for Quickoffice using an USB cable

Installed Quickoffice App, but cannot import/export files. Windows Explorer recognizes only photos and iTunes does not show office files on iPod and does not tolerate pdf, doc or ppt files from PC.

Thank you, lllaass,
this is the way to upload/download files from iPod using USB cable, but it does not work in my case. Following advices of the Apple customer service I have reinstalled iTunes, updated the iPod software and even deleted/reinstalled the Quickoffice app again, but it did not help. In the iPod/Apps menu I see the app thumbnail, but no File Sharing section appears, so I am unable to copy/extract files through the cable. I can do it via WLan, but it is completely impractical, as I do not have any wireless connection at work. It is amazing how poorly compatioble can be non-Apple apps.
