Urgent: Batch Watermark or easy Watermark

hello,
i have about 60 Quicktime Files, i need to know how i can take them and add a Watermark easily!
Thank you!

PNG is the correct format as it allows "alpha" channels for transparency.
To add one to an entire QT file follow these steps.
Open the PNG using QT Pro
Select all (Command-A) and Copy (Command-C)
Switch to the "video"
Select all and "Add to selection and scale" (Edit menu).
Save As and use "Self-contained". This leaves your "original" without the watermark image.
Close all open windows and don't "Save Changes".

Having multiple issues with automate batch - skipping files, misplacing watermarks etc

I record the action exactly how I want it: editing, placing the watermarks (place embedded) putting them where I want them and re-sizing, save as (with jpg details), etc before I stop recording. When I do the Automate Batch with this action, the watermark is placed nearly completely off the image, it will go from file 1 to file 10 (skipping files 2-9) This worked fine on a previous Batch with a similar action. Nothing is working correctly for this one. I have also tried using "Place Embedded" with the same result. The files are NEF files being saved to JPG. After the it finishes the action, the "Save As" menu opens.

It is difficult to process different size image and add watermarks. You stated your currently processing RAW Nef files. RAW Files can have ACR setting saved for them which can size them differently. They can never have been processed with ACR so have not setting and will use your default setting for your camera. ACR also remembers your last used workflow setting which can change document size. In your Action I see you using Place which has some setting for the place transform. However I see no step before the the place to handle document size. So the place step will work differently on different size documents. The Place is followed by a move and then a second place and move. You then flatten and save which is not necessary Saving a jpeg from a layered document will save a flat jpeg. Quality 12 is also overkill.
This action may work well on a particular size document with the same aspect ratio and orientation but will fail on others.

Automate batch errors when adding watermark (CS6)

I'm trying add a watermark to approx. 8,000 images by batching the process. However, it only does about 400. The 2 errors that are logged are:
Could not complete your request because of a program error. (-1)
Could not complete the command because the selected area is empty. (-25570)
Here's a screenshot of the action that I'm using: http://i.imgur.com/GkwSdP5.jpg
Any ideas?
EDIT: It seems to stop at the 'Fill' part of the action by the way..

The image you posted do not seem to ones capture at the point of failure.
That a look at my crafting Actions Package hse some good guideline

Batch Editing to Create Watermark on Multiple Clips

Hi,
I have a bunch of clips that I am trying to apply a watermark to. I have my workflow currently set up in Premiere Pro but there is no way (that I know of) to apply a watermark to them all at once. Is there a way that I can do this in After Effects?
Thanks in advance!

I feel like the first method I mentioned is your best bet. Here's a detailed workflow with more screenshots:
1.) Import all of your files including your watermark. I think the best way to create the watermark is to use Photoshop. First go to File > New.
. Since my footage is 1920 x 1080, I used the HDTV 1080p/29.97 Preset as shown in this screenshot:
A) Next to Preset: Select Film & Video
B) Since the footage I'll be importing into After Effects is 1920 x 1080, I selected HDTV 1080p/29.97 next to Size:. If your footage is a standard size then there should also be a preset that matches it.
C) Finally set the Background Contents: to Transparent.
2.) When you're done making your watermark in Photoshop I would suggest saving it out as a PNG file. PNGs will maintain the transparency, they're excellent quality and the file size is smaller than TIFFs or PSDs and my experience is this will help After Effects run more smoothly.
3.) Create a New Composition from Selection.
A) Shift select all of your clips. Then drag and drop them onto the Create a New Composition icon.
B) This will open up the New Composition from Selection window. In the Create box select Single Composition.
C) If you are doing this with different sized clips it won't work. Otherwise it will automatically be set to Use Dimensions From: the first clip you dragged onto the icon. In this case Car L to R.mov is the first one I dragged.
D) Since you're going to be rendering this right back out select Add to Render Queue.
E) Then select Sequence Layers to line up the layers into a sequence within the composition.
F) Finally, click OK. This will immediately add the clip to the Render Queue.
4.) Now you're going to want to set up your timeline, so click back to your composition tab.
A) Drag your watermark over your clips and make sure that it extends to the end of your composition.
B) Change the blending mode to Overlay.
C) Hit the T key to activate the Opacity control and change the opacity to 25%.
D) In this case the beginning of the Work Area is already set to the beginning of the composition. But, in the future you can press the B key to set the beginning of the work area to wherever the playhead is located.
E) Hold the shift key to snap the playhead to the last frame of the first clip. Then press the N key to set the end of the end of the work area. Note that the N key places the end of the work area immediately after the frame you're currently viewing.
5) Then click back on the Render Queue tab.
A) Click Best Settings.
B) Click Custom. This will open the Custom Time Span window.
C) Since the render queue automatically recognizes where you have your work area set up, you don't need to do anything. Just click OK and this will save your current work area position.
D) Click OK again to exit the Best Settings window.
6) Repeat the second part of step 4.
A) Make sure that the playhead is showing the very first frame of the second clip and press the B key to set the beginning of the work area.
B) Hold down the shift key to snap to the end of the clip. Press the N key to set the end of the work area. Then press Control Command M or Command Shift / to send the second clip to the render queue.
7.) Repeat Step 5, but rename the clip with it's actual name. If you don't it will be fine, but After Effects will keep the same clip name and add numbers to ends of all your clips.
8.) Finally, I would recomend making an Output Module template. To do this, click on the upside down triangle to the right of Output Module: and select Make a Template. Then set up your render settings as you like and save them so you can select as many of your clips as you'd like and paste the same Output Module onto them.
However, if you're going to upload these clips to the Internet using Vimeo or Youtube for example. I would highly suggest using Adobe Media Encoder. After Effects is not designed to export the H.264 files these websites require and you'll get far better quality by using the Youtube or Vimeo presets in Adobe Media Encoder.
To do this, follow steps 3, 4 and 6 exactly as the screenshots indicate only instead of clicking Best Settings and setting the Custom Time Span in the After Effects Render Queue, click the preset setting under your composition in Adobe Media Encoder and set the Source Range to Work Area.
The only thing you have to remember when doing this is that you have to save your After Effects project each time you drag and drop the composition into Adobe Media Encoder. Since Adobe Media Encoder communicates with After Effects through Dynamic Link, the project must be saved in order for it to update the current Work Area.
I've tested the above method and it works fine, but if you still have trouble with it, go back to step 3, import your clips as Multiple Compositions and add the watermark to each one. Then save your After Effects project and drag all of your compositions into Adobe Media Encoder at once. Then shift select all of them and drag the preset you'd like to use onto the clips.

Bridge will no longer batch process an old watermarking action that i made it says "place" unavailable in Bridge with cs5, does anyone know why?

I am using cs5 and in Bridge my action that I have used for 2 years all of the sudden says it is unavailable when I try to use the batch process function in Bridge. I have run updates, reset bridge and photoshop and shut the computer down. Please help if you have had this happen to you.

That is a very common error message actions produce when for some reason the document current state does not support the command or feature used in the action step that gets the error. With our seeing a screen capture of the error message and being able to see the document window, the layers palette and the actions palette Its not possible to tell you why the actions is getting that error message. Most likely its because of the document current state. For example place is not valid for a bitmap mode document.

Watermark won't watermark

I have Acrobat Pro v 9. I can apply watermark to most pdf's I have. There are a group of files that I want to watermark that were created as report file output from Verifone's PCCharge software. These files won't apply a watermark. You can go through the process, you see nothing in the preview window, you can OK, nothing gets applied, You can try to update what you think got placed and no watermark is found, so it's ignoring the whole process. Is there something in file properties that might be preventing this? I also can't use the Touch Up Text tool, so it appears the document is locked from much editing.
Short of resaving by printing to another document using my PDF printer driver, I was hoping there a solution to unlock for editing.
Charlie

They have text. I can use text touch up tool to select and copy text to other app. I just can't edit text in the
doc itself or add a watermark. Ctrl-D | Description Tab lists the file as PDF ver 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x). It is perhaps too old to edit with 9? Any solution?

How to run a batch file (sounds easy...)?

Hallo,
I just tried a lot of things to run through a simple button a prepared Batch-File. I used the execute-command but it does not work proper. There is an error message.
Hope it is easy to solve. How can I execute / run / start an batch file, because just to execute it through the execute-command does not work?
Thx for help

Hey!
Try this VI (LV 6.0 and 7.1 versions included). I use it pretty much for everything. Will launch .bat and .exe, will also open most files types, like .pdf, .doc, .jpg, etc., in their respective default applications.
Good luck!

URGENT: Batch Info

Hi
We have materials in our company that are both bought and produced. They will have the same material code and we dont use split valuation. So I think the best way is to provide an ABAP program that will distinguish between bought and produced by batch number? I need more direction though. How can I identify which batches are used for which and how to get this information from SAP? Is there a better solution in BW? Any help would be appreciated..
Thank you

Whoever is asking you about the warranty must not be very well informed. Since there are NO MacBooks that are more than a year old yet, they ALL still have their original, one-year built-in warranty. I suppose, if your computer had been damaged by you, the warranty would not cover any repairs, but it's not possible for someone to check-up on that kind of information from your serial number (unless they are an Apple Authorized Service Provider and can look up Apple's records directly). Really, the only information you might provide them is if you purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan to extend the warranty or not. With that said, there isn't much they could do with your serial number except look up the date your MacBook was purchased. So, it's kind of up to you whether or not you want to tell them your serial number.

Urgent: Batch Management

Hi All
I have to mave a material stock which is managed in batches.
I have created STO.
Created Delivery with delivery type NLN
In PGI - VL02N - i want to pick the stock batch wise. Now can i do that?
When i click on 'Batch Split' TAB and enter the batch, the system throws an error 'item category is not defined'.
Thanks in advance
Kapil

Hi,
For Batch item category you use same as using Tcode 0184.
Batch determination is activated at item category level.
T.code 0VLP select the item category..and check the details
in the warehouse control and pricing tab if the field Auto batch determ is checked, then it is active for this item category.
Same is also activate in
Spro->Logistics - General-->Batch Management->Batch Determination and Batch Check-->Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD->Automatic Batch Determination for Sales Order Items or delivery item category .
Just check the field auto batch determinatin agains the item category whcih is same as activation at item category in 0VLP.
So finally the batch determination assingment is done in Tcode 0184.
Kindly Reward points if usefull.
Regards

Two Urgent Batch Processing Questions!!

Q1) I have over a thousand one-minute clips I need to convert to a different QUicktime format using compressor....
I have created my custom preset that I want to use for all 1000 clips.
I really dont want to drag my preset manually onto all 1000 clips, but I cannot see a "apply to all" option.
How do I apply the same preset to every clip in my batch list of clips for conversion?
Q2) Is there a way to save the outputted file with the EXACT same file name as the source? Compressor wants to tack on something on the end of my file name, but I need the exact same name as the source.
THAnKS A MILLION!!! Tight deadline you know!

I'm a newbie, so this may not be the response you're looking for, but have you tried setting your default preset in Compressor to your preset, then dragging your batch of files in for export? I set my default setting, then dragged in a handful of files, and it set them all to the same export settings.
Good luck,
Lawrence

Hello urgent batch management issue

Hi Rahul,
As per my knowledge your requirement not available in the standard, so you need to go for User exit or BADI's.
You try with these User exits with the ABAPer help
Program MV45AFZZ
1.USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT
2.USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE
3.USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT
I hope it will help you

Need urgent help with LayerManager (easy example)

Im trying to get a scrolling effect by moving the view window.
THE PROBLEM IS that if I move the view vindow the Sprite (spriteTest) is displayed at the new position AND still at the old position. I don't want it to be displayed on the old position. So if I move it a pixel every 5 ms I get a trail of the Sprite. Why does it happen??? (clueless)
Here is the code...
import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.GameCanvas;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.LayerManager;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.Sprite;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics;

    private int xpositionView, ypositionView; //the x and y coordinates of the view window (used for scrolling)
    private LayerManager world; //the layermanager in which all sprites are added
    private Sprite spriteTest; //a Sprite with an image looking like a goomba from super mario

       try
            spriteTest = new Sprite(Image.createImage("/images/goomba.png")); //creates the sprite containing an image (no frames only 1 picture)
       catch(Exception e)
           System.out.println("Couldn't load sprite image!");
       spriteTest.setPosition(190, 30); //sets the position of the sprite

        while(true)
            move();
            render(g);
            try

            catch (InterruptedException ie)
    /* Moves the view window to the right*/

    /* Render the graphics. !!!!PROBLEM!!! */
    public void render(Graphics g)

        flushGraphics();
   /* Starts the thread */
    public void start()
        t = new Thread(this);

HELP PLEASE HELP! urgent question with an easy answer!!!!

Hello;
I designed a JFrame game, that uses gif files as ImageIcons. The game works perfectly when I run it from console with the java.exe command.
However; now I want to create a wraparound and run the JFrame in the Internet Explorer from an applet. So I created a new file that extends JApplet; this new file creates a new object of the JFrame-game's class and show()'s it.
And I created an HTM file that runs the JApplet class. However, the internet explorer cannot open the applet because it has trouble loading the pictures (gif files). How can I load the pictures from my applet for my frame???
I dont want to change the Java security file. I just want to make the images accessible by my applet. I cannot use commands like setImage in my applet because my JFrame sets the Images.
(I repeat)My JApplet only invokes an object of my JFrame class and shows it.
PLEASE HELP PLEASE PLEASE..
Thanks..

OK; let me tell you the whole thing. My pictures are in the same folder for sure.
My JFrame reads pictures and assigns JButtons pictures. when I run the frame there are 16 buttons with the same picture, and when I click the buttons there is a listener in the JFrame that changes the pictures. Simply put, the JFrame has no trouble finding and loading the pictures.
Then I created a JApplet as follows:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MemoryApplet extends JApplet
public void init ()
GameFrame ce = new GameFrame ();
ce.show ();
GameFrame is the name of the JFrame class. Then when I try to open the applet using IE, it gives the following error:
Exception: java.security.AccessControlException: (javax.io.FilePermission back.gif read)
back.gif is one of the gif files that are used in GameFrame

Photoshop CC batch watermark

In Photoshop CS5 I used Adobe Watermark to add watermarks in batch. Is this available for Photoshop CC or is there a better way?

Moving to Photoshop forum.

Watermark - Batch Question

Hi all,
I have hundreds of PDF's where I have to watermarks to them. So I enlisted the help of Batch Processing, but my question is, is there a way for me to just run the batch job of "adding watermark" and be set and forget about it? Because right now when I run the sequence I constantly have to press OK for all the documents, it works but semi works because I have to sit there and hit the OK button for all of the PDF's.
Is there a better way for this?

I just tried to check what you advised but don't see what you say is true, where is this? I have adobe 9 pro.
Below is all I get.
