Stretching photo montages in CS4?

I have a Premiere CS4 project which consists of hundreds of photos appearing one after another with a one second dissolve between each.  My client would like for all the photos to be 6 seconds long instead of 5.  Is there a way to do this without starting over from scratch?  Normally, that wouldn't be that big of a deal, but a large number of the photos have various video effects added.  If I simply select all the photos and increase their durations, then the photos slam into each other without increasing the duration of the project.  I could output the project as an .avi file and time stretch that, but then the dissolves would be longer than 1 second, and I don't want that.  Any suggestions?
J. D.

In that case, a workaround may be to nest your sequence into a new sequence and stretch the duration by 20%. It will also increase the duration of your dissolves, but is the only practical solution to avoid reapplying all those filters.
One effort may be worthwile, but I do not know if it will work.
1. In preferences set the default still duration to 6 secnods and automate to sequence in a new sequence with the standard dissolves.
2. select all clips in your current sequence and select copy.
3. In the new sequence, select all clips and select paste attirbutes.
Maybe that will work. Try it.

  • Watermark Photos in Photoshop CS4??

    Is there a way I can batch Watermark photos in Photoshop CS4?? I have around 50 pictures that I take for my new photography business. I will send the company most of the pictures, but I want them all watermarked so they can not steal them. They will buy the ones they like.
    What is the best way to do this???? I am new to photoshop, so please be detailed. Thank you

    I have made available a package  on crafting Photoshop Actions that package I include a sample action set.  In that action set there is a sample action that will add three watermarks to any size image and be sized appropriately for that images pixel size.
    The action uses one Photoshop Scripts that can save and restore an images resolution so an action can use the script to save the images resolution it is then free to scale the images print size so that it can properly size thing like watermarks for the action can use the script again and the script will restore the image back to its original print resolution.  The sample action shows how to use a Custom shape layer a custom color logo layer and a text layer for watermarking images. Example

  • Can Premier Pro Do This...???...(need help w/ FAST photo montage!)

    well folks...
    i'm really in trouble
    i moved sony vegas (8.0) from my office pc to my recording/mastering studio's audio pc...(w/ it's quad IV cpu & tons of RAM)
    & now...after moving along quite nicely...all of a sudden the project video screen (lower right) went completely RED...& the project doesn't repond to ANY controls...!!!...seized up tighter than a duck's protuberance.
    (just like it did on my office pc)
    I rebooted the machine, but that didnt help
    so...i'll never make my deadline...on a very important dynamic photo montage i'm constructing for my brother's 50th wedding anniversay...so:
    I know premier pro is wonderful for movie editing/creating...but...can it do a dynamic photo montage...???...the kind where one photo image transistions to the next...(w/ music)...& if so...does it have great transition effects & fades & text features (for that job) such as scrolling titles, etc...???
    if not...can someone recommend me a program that DOES (in the vein of sony vegas)...???
    thanx,
    mark4man

    i got it...i got it...!!!
    so...this 1st screen shot is from an old scanned print; & you can see both pix X pix & document size:
    obviously if i uncheck Resample Image...i can't change the pixel dimensions...so I simply did this:
    so...is this now my optimum pixel dimensions for HD...(for that particular shot)...???
    AND...it's OK that the document size differed (down to 2.283" X 1.8") while remaining at 600ppi...for HD...???
    (see...i always assumed that, because there are a gazillion pixels on my 46" LED HD TV...I had to make my scan resolution as great as possible to fill that screen)...& you two are telling me that, because the pix dimension width is now 1080...that shot won't look pixelated (up-sampled) when the movie is played on an HD TV...???
    if so...i'm good w/ the info you've given me (actually, great).
    thanx a gazillion,

  • Photo montage Ken Burns effect w/ variable intervals synced to music cues

    I was thinking of buying Final Cut Pro to create a photo montage because iMovie does not let you define the specific timings for each photo montage. For example, I need one photo to show for 3 seconds and transition to another photo that lasts 5 seconds because of the way the music flows.
    I start with music and I'm adding photos to specific points of music changes.
    My question: the tutorials I've found on google all use Final Cut Pro. Can I accomplish the same task with the cheaper Express version?
    Here are the tutorials that show what I want to do:

    http://www.geniusdv.com/newsandtutorials/2008/05/ken-burns-effect-photo-montage-in-final-cut-pro.php
    Can I use the techniques described in those 2 links in Final Cut EXPRESS?
    Thanks for the info.

    Now I'm confused about FCE max resolution. I found this soundbite on the web... a user says:
    "There is also the consideration that FCE 4.0x won't natively export 1920x1080, which I think is very disappointing -- the software engine is limited to 1440x1080. FCP does true HD from what I understand."
    I'm not sure if he's saying the FCE "engine" doesn't support 1920x1080 or if AIC doesn't support 1920x1080 or something else.

  • Can I create a still photo montage in one frame with imovie 08?

    I want to cut a part of several single frames in imovie, and paste each of them in one single frame in imovie, or iphoto, so that I can print a single photo montage of all the cut images. Is this possible in imovie 08 and iphoto, and if not, does anyone know what software will do this?
    Thanks, Rick

    Sorry this isn't possible in im08, try creating single frames in PS and importing them into imovie.

  • Trying to find photo montage software

    Hi,
    There is a website for a video production co. out there and I'm trying to find out which software they use. Website is jandrvideo.com. I love their sample productions, especially photo montages. Can anyone tell me?
    Thanks,
    Connie

    No, you aren't missing anything, Photostream isn't on the iCloud.com webpage. You can reset Photostream from there though by clicking on your name on the main page and choosing the advanced option.

  • How to align eyes in photo montage ?

    I'm doing a "daily photo" montage of me and have more than 500 photos of my face. I just want my eyes to align perfectly in the different photos so when I play them fast, my face is constantly well positioned and blend perfectly with the other photos. How can I do this easily ?

    create a graphic element in photoshop (or similar) with two small spots or bullseyes as an alignment guide for your eyes (make sure the rest of the frame is transparent).
    Place it on a layer above your main timeline, and have fun.
    When you're ready to export, remove the alignment clip.
    The trick is getting the faces to align with the guides

  • Is it possible to download a previous version of Photo shop (ie. cs4 or cs5)?

    Is it possible to download a previous version of Photo shop (ie. cs4 or cs5)? I purchased Photo shop CC for my windows computer but when I attempted to download it to my mac I was told that my computer does not meet the system requirements.

    I don't know your OS, but I'll assume Snow Leopard 10.6.8  In which case Photoshop CS6 would be the best especially if you have a cloud membership like the Photography Plan.

  • Photo montage question

    Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with creating a photo montage. It seems that imovie is distorting my blacks to the point of which the image looks terrible. I tried downsizing a full res tiff to 1920x1280 but its not doing much. Am I missing a step in the process or is this just something you have to deal with?

    video is much higher compressed than stills.
    plus, the compressor codecs are optimized for 'motion', plain colors or shades of grey push them to their limits.
    try different export settings: Export with Quicktime, Options, h264, Options: set a higher bit-rate as 6-9000 KB/s.

  • Ambitious project with 3D Photo Montage, Questions..

    Hey guys, I've been using Final Cut for a while, I finally started putting my foot down on Motion 3 (it's been an afterthought, but when I purchased FCS 2, I knew I'd have to learn it sooner or later), and became interested in doing a 3d photo montage, cutting out my subjects from their backgrounds and breathing life into them. I'll be breaking my question down into a lame outline haha just so my question doesn't sound too broad or boring.
    The Plan-
    I'll be putting together a 5-10 minute photo montage for my sister when she gets married, and I've got plenty of time alloted to do this project.
    The Vision-Create a 3d world of photographs of my sister and her soon-to-be-husband, photographs may range up to 80 photographs. Basically animate a single photo that is cut into different layers, then fly/dolly onto the next photograph.
    The Question-Can Motion handle such a workload? (I assume yes) Or better yet, is there a workflow I should use? I hear that a Motion Project can get bogged down easily if there's too much stuff.
    Other info, these photos are coming from scans, point and shoot cameras, and my nikon d90, all mixed into an Aperture Library, rated, color corrected, etc. Then I send them to Photoshop to break down the photograph into layers.
    If you guys have ANY advice, this would be great, I want to put something wonderful together for my sis, this would be my most ambitious project yet.
    And one last thing, i did get a tutorial video from Ripple Training, the "Motion 3 Fast Forward" from Mark Spencer (awesome job man), and I did learn how to do it, my question is how far can I take it with Motion?

    Down-res your photos as much as you possibly can and you should be ok.
    Here's a 2-part tutorial on doing a 3D photo fly-through:

  • Elements 11 Editor crashes: photo montage issue

    I'd like to make a photo montage (not collage) for someone's birthday but am experiencing difficulty because the Editor keeps crashing.
    This is similar to what I'm trying to create (taken from a commercial site):
    Using Elements 11 I'm selecting parts of photos the individual appears in and pasting each one into a new file, then adding a 10 px white outline to each selection using Stroke (Outline) Selection from the Menu. The aim being to compile all of them into a photo montage where each photo in it is distinct, due to the 10px white outline.
    So far so good! When I try to save the file, however, after adding the white outline, the option for where to save the picture is displayed for several seconds but before I've finished typing the destination the Editor crashes, logs me out of the application and virtually all the menu options in Elements 11 become greyed out. My screen then displays the picture with the border I was working on but I'm then unable to close the application normally (or to save it) and have to force quit the application using the Activity Monitor.
    I'm using:
    OS X 10.9
    2.7GHx Intel Core i5
    8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory
    Elements 11 is up to date
    Any help will be much appreciated, thankyou

    Hi Barbara thanks for the link
    I'd already used the second option mentioned in it to access the Library: ie Finder > Go > Alt click. 
    I found this file list in the Library under Preference Panes > Preferences. If this is the correct file list which of these need to be deleted please?
    I searched in vain for the first file you mention: com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist:

  • How To: Make A Photo Montage

    I have four photos, closeups of people. What I want to do is to arrange them in a semi-circle, next to each other. And I'd want each photo boundary to fade into the photo next to it.
    What I'm trying to do is to create a label to paste onto CDs. I have software that'll allow me to import the finished photo montage and print to the appropriate label. Text, of course, would be superimposed on the photos.
    I'd very much appreciate hearing from anyone who has tried a similar stunt. How did you go about it?
    Dave

    Dave:
    You might give Discus a try. It has templates for printing directly on printable discs and many label layouts. These are just some of the labels I've created for DVDs:
    Click to view full size
    Just so you know it's strongly recommended to not put paper labels on disks, particularly DVDs but also CDs. The labels can unbalance the disk causing playback problems, blister or begin to peel after a while jamming optical drives, especially slot loading drives.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Zoom for memorial photo montage

    Thank you in advance for your help. Can someone send me some easy steps on how do I zoom in and out on photos in Premiere CS4?
    example, the photo is 5 seconds long, I want to zoom in or out on him not just use the zoom from photo to photo.
    I dear freinds 25 year old son passed away and I am under the gun to help them get this done for a funeral.
    I have used the old premier but cant seem to find it here.
    Thanks, Eric

    Jim might know of some tutorial to look at...but just to show you quickly what it will look like...
    1) use a photo that is no bigger than 4000 px  X  4000 px.....
    2) put on timeline
    3) use CTI to determine start point for zoom and click "scale" under effect panel (sets keyframe)  under motion /scale...
    4) adjust scale from 100% to what you want...
    5) move CTI to next point on timeline where effect will end
    6) click scale again (sets keyframe)
    7) adjust scale
    done
    image shows timeline and keyframes in effect panel where scale was adjusted
    This link has the movie export made from this sample...called " zoom sample mov " ....for you to SEE what it does
