Using transitions with inserted photos

Greetings--
I know how to use the paste over at playhead function to drop in video only or photos and maintain the audio track. But how do I insert transitions--between video and still photos and between the stills--over the underlying video and not screw up the audio?
I've tried creating a scene in Still Life, with built-in transitions, so that at least I have a longer stretch of video to paste at the playhead, but that still doesn't solve the problem of dissolving from the video into the sequence of stills.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Couldn't you just create the transition you want in its own movie, export as dv then import the clip and use the paste over function again?

How to use iPhoto with 1 photo library and 2 user accounts on 1 iMac ?

Title says it all.
I don't want to have a double picture library, it takes enough space from my harddisk already.
My wife and I share the same camera too. We want to see the same pictures when using iPhoto.
Possible solution: Do I have to make a softlink from 1 user account to the photo lib that belongs to the other account ? [in Terminal: ln /Users/.... etc.)
(Yes, I'm an ex-Linux user)
Thnx
Fred4711

If you want to have the same data, do you need separate accounts? A surprising number of people think that must have separate ccounts and they really don't need to.
Anyway:
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Using Macbookpro with Aperture photos on external hard drive

I have now just about filled up my macbook pro. So I am now moving my pictures folder to an external drive. I have never done this before but it looks straight forward. After the transfer I just restart aperature and help it find the library.
But here is the question. I would like to bring my laptop on trips, take pictures, manipulate them in aperture. Then when I get home I would like to put those photos into the external drive.
I am confused about how to do that?

Bob,
I am currently using MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz with 4 GB DDR2.
Since day one I have used an external portable hard drive that has all images stored on it.
No images are stored on the MacBook.
Currently I am using a portable LaCie 250 GB running with Firewire 800.
Nearly 10,000 images at the present time.
Use a USB 500 GB portable external hard drive for the Vault (backup).
Have had no problems working this way.
I am looking to purchase a larger portable LaCie (500 GB) soon.

Are there any problems using transitions with a layered menu

I am creating a DVD using layered Photoshop files for the menus. I know there are many issues when doing this.
I have 2 questions.
Will creating a 3 state button (normal, rollover, select) cause more problems than a 2 state button?
Can I use the menu trasitions with a layered Photoshop menu?
Thanks

I don't know of many "issues". In fact i think using photoshop files is a standard practice.
The only issue i can see from having a 3 state button is using an overlay in the normal state might create some distortion in your button, but other than that there can be some great advantages to using all three states like an overlay mask.
Yes you can use the transitions. One of the best ways to find out is to give it a try.

"Push" slide transitions with overlapping photos

I have two slides. Slide one has a photo on the right and slide two has the other half of the photo on the left. I am trying to have a seamless slide transition where it appears as though it is one photo stretched over both slides. I saw this done on the demo for "Keynotethemepark.com, but have yet to figure out how to do it correctly. Can you guys help?
By the way ... keynote theme park is excellant. Thanks for your help.

The only way I know is to copy the same image into each slide. Use the "X" & "Y" coordinates to make sure the image is in corresponding locations. Then use the Mask (Shift,Control,M) to crop the images so the seam matches perfectly.
You should be able to adjust to make the image appear seamless.
Good luck.

Using iphoto with HP photo printer

I recently purchased a macbook pro laptop with the HP-C4180 printer. I hooked up the USB cable from the laptop to the printer and tried to print a couple of pictures that I loaded onto the laptop. The printed pictures aren't close to the colors that appear on the screen. I then tried using the HP software that came with the printer and the same thing occurs. I've checked the ink cartridges but they are installed correctly. If I'm doing something wrong let me know...otherwise the printer stinks and I will be returning it to Apple online.

To get prints that match your monitor image it is necessary to have a calibrated computer screen and printer profiles (colorsync) specifically for the printer-ink-paper combination you are using. HP printer software usually comes with profiles that provide a close match for HP inks and HP paper. Any other inks or paper are bound to give disappointing results.
Printer profiles for ANY paper can be generated with the proper photometric devices, which are generally much more expensive than the printer itself. Monitor calibrators are becoming fairly inexpensive. But one isn't much good without the other.
Best results for printing with iPhoto are obtained by first embedding the HP profile (that matches your paper) into the photograph by using Preview. The HELP menus will guide you through the process.

Do I have to use iCloud with new Photos app?

I see that Apple has eliminated iPhoto and is going to require me to update to the new Photos app. When I read what Apple has to say about the update/change I am worried that I have to put my photos on the iCloud... I read quotes like "If you shoot a snapshot, slo-mo, or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically added to iCloud Photo Library as well" and "iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos in the cloud" directly from the Apple website. I absolutely do NOT want my photos on the iCloud. I currently take photos on my phone and upload them onto my Mac when I want to, and I want to continue to do this. So I'm trying hard NOT to update my software until I understand better what the new Photos app will require of me. Any help is appreciated.
Update is OS X 10.10.3, Photos app

I see that Apple has eliminated iPhoto and is going to require me to update to the new Photos app.
For the time being is iPhoto still working very well with the latest release of MacOS X 10.10.3. You can try out the new Photos for Mac app, while you are still keeping your main Photos library in iPhoto.
With MacOS X 10.10.3 you need iPhoto 9.6.1. Apple does not sell iPhoto any longer, so you can neither update it nor purchase it. But you can reinstall, if you already own iPhoto and it is associated with your Apple ID.
See this user Tip:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
You may need to unhide your Purchases, if you do not see iPhoto on the Purchases page when you sign into the AppStore with your AppleID:
See this link: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support

Premier Elements 12, Inserting Photos into timeline, using transitions, inserting music

I have just recently switched from Premier Elements 8 to 12, after discovering that "expert" looked allot more like what I was used to I have been able to start a new project. However, I don't consider myself to be an "expert".
That said I have a few questions:
I used to be able to insert photos and rearrange them in the "sceneline", I do not see that feature in Premier 12 so am using the "timeline" that is there. However I cannot insert photos or move them around easily, I get my clips reducing in size. How can I insert new photos or move them?
Transitions seemed to have been reduced greatly in the availabilty of them, have they "gone out of favor", I had put a transition inbetween all of my clips in my previous projects with 8. Allot of them were merely the "wipe" feature. What is recommended with 12?
I have not gotten to adding music to this project however have noticed that there are allot of different styles available. However I want to be able to add my own music, can you give me tips on "how to do that", would I just go to the "add media" and get them off my computer and than add it to the audio line?
Thank you ahead of time.

I am not sure why these photos should be reducing in size. It should be the same thing as in your older version, that is, as you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, with your mouse cursor drag you new file into place in the Timeline. Some people like to use the Ctrl key instead of the Alt key. I prefer the Alt key.
I prefer the Expert workspace rather than the Quick in version 12, but you can still move the images in the Quick Filmstrip spaces with a click and drag, left or right as appropriate. So, I am not sure what you ran into in the Quick workspace in that regard.
Transitions seemed to have been reduced greatly in the availabilty of them, have they "gone out of favor", I had put a transition inbetween all of my clips in my previous projects with 8. Allot of them were merely the "wipe" feature. What is recommended with 12?
There are lots of Transitions under theTransition Tab when you are in Expert workspace, much less in the Quick workspace. This is what you should be seeing in version 12/Expert workspace/Transitions
This is what you had in version 8.0/8.0.1 under Wipes in Timeline view.
3. I have not gotten to adding music to this project however have noticed that there are allot of different styles available. However I want to be able to add my own music, can you give me tips on "how to do that", would I just go to the "add media" and get them off my computer and than add it to the audio line?
Same as before. Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets (if Expert workspace). The Quick workspace does not have that "intermediate" Project Assets. So, it is Add Media/Files and Folders/ and direct to a scene space in the Filmstrip. If you have iTunes music, it may have to be converted to .mp3 or .wav (again same as before).
However, if you are a SmartSound soundtrack user, the SmartSound feature is gone in version 12 which has it counterpart, under Audio Tab, of Music Scores and Sound Effects which end up on the Timeline as .wav files. If you have the old SmartSound soundtracks, they need to be converted to .wav and then the Premiere Elements 12 Add Media/
Please check out the above. If any questions or if you need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

Inserting photo into word document with new Yosemite OS X

iPhoto has gone away after downloading the new Yosemite OS X program. Now it is Photos. I am attempting to drag or insert a picture into a word document for work. Unlike the old iPhoto, double clicking on the photo does not allow me to "Copy" so I may then "Paste" on my document. In addition, when I attempt to drag the picture onto the document where I want it, the picture goes right back to the photo library. Tried pretty much everything I know and my tech guys from work. Anyone have this problem or know of the solution?

My photos are not in/on iCloud. In Microsoft Word 2011 I can use
Insert > Photo > Picture from File ...
and then navigate to the my 'Pictures' folder and insert a picture successfully.
Can't find a direct way of going from Photos to Word. In practice, this is not a big issue for me because in most cases I want to reduce the size of the image, which I do by selecting the image(s) I want in Photos.app, then switch to Preview.app, command-N (New from clipboard). Once in Preview.app I can transfer images to Word by drag and drop from the thumbnails, etc. The neat thing about this workflow is one can select several images in Photos at once and have them all open in Preview with one keystroke.

Using iMovie 11 and can't insert photos into story line?

I just got IMovie 11 and the browsers won't highlight when trying to create a movie. I can't insert photos into the storyline

If I had to guess, and this merely based on reading iMovie Discussion Group threads, I would say sometimes Themes/Trailers/Animated Titles have problems. Not to say they cannot be used, but they can be the source of crashes and other bad behavior if something gets corrupted in them. Animated titles (in a regular iMovie Project) can cause instability and crashes. So I would say, some of those Themes may not be reliable and have pieces or parts built into the template that are causing this issue.
If you wanted to try doing a bit of preventive maintenance try this:
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch this program
Click on the Repair button under Disk Permissions and let it run until it finishes. Reboot the Mac, and open iMovie see if you get any different behavior out of iMovie with one of those failed Project Theme movies if you have one still available to open and look at. I won't say this is going to fix it, but it's sometimes can help. Also there's an iMovie preferences file that can get corrupted and lead to problems. To find the iMovie prefs:
Go to the Desktop look for the Go Menu at the top menu bar. Hold down the Option key and click on the Go menu. Click on Library > Preferences.
In the list of files there are: com.apple.iMovieApp.plist and also com.apple.iApps.plist
Drag both of those to the trash and relaunch iMovie. See if that preference file deletion helps.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone. This has never been a feature of iphone.
You sync them as you would anything esle.
You select photos from the photos tab. Whatever is selected will be on your iphone. Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

Using SQL DML INSERT how can I put a ref atrib with out a select

What i am trying to do is use the insert statment to insert into a object table that has an atribute that is scope to another table as a REF of that type.
something like this:
INSERT INTO TABLE_AAA (NAME, SOMETHING) VALUES ('AAA','BBB');
SELECT REF(P),P.NAME FROM TABLE_AAA WHERE P.NAME='AAA';
IT GIVES ME THE REF THAT ARE 85 NUMBER AND LETTERS AND THE NAME=AAA
SO WITH THIS INFORMATION I COPY THE REF AND PUT IT IN TABLE_BBB AS:
INSERT INTO TABLE_BBB (REF_TYPE_AAA, SOMETHING)
VALUES(1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345,'QQQ');
THIS IS NOT WORKING I TRY DIFERENT THINGS, BUT NOTHING WORKS
WHAT I DONT WANT IS TO USE THE SELECT IN THE INSERT, I JUST WANT TO PUT THE VALUE OF THE REF IN THE INSERT.
WHAT FUNTION DO I NEED TO CAST OR CONVERT TO A REF DOES NUMBERS AND LETTERS THAT I HAVE, THAT I CAN USE A SIMPLE INSERT COMMAND.
THANK IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR KIND

Hi,
Could you give structures of objects (tables/type objects)?
It may help to clarify your doubt.
