Viewing ePub files after export

I am new to InDesign running a new installation of CS5.5 with latest update on a new Mac. Whenever I export a file to ePub format, the file is displayed in Text Edit, but it is empty. Only after viewing the file in a different viewer did I realize that I, in fact, did have content in my ePub file. Obviously, TextEdit does not display ePub files. True? Is there an alternative to viewing exported ePub files through InDesign?
My apologies if this is a duplicate post; I received an error message when I first tried to post this message.

There are several epub viewer for the Computer.
Eg. Adobe has Digital Editions:

Problem viewing Quicktime files after export

So a few months ago, I finished a number of projects in Final Cut Express. I exported them as self-contained .mov files and kept those files in their own folder. Today, I try to open/play those Quicktime files, Quicktime opens and says "loading video", and only audio plays. No video. Weird.
What I want to do is upload these videos to YouTube, so I opened MPEG Streamclip in an attempt to transfer these apparently corrupt files into a .mp4 format. When I drag and drop the Quicktime files into MPEG Streamclip (the title of the first .mov file I tried is "1 Naitram On the Road to Syndicate"), I get this: "The movie file "1 Naitram On- FIN - 00000002 cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly".
When I first exported these projects into .mov files a few months back, I was able to watch them in Quicktime. Now, I cannot. Why would this be? Can a file just corrupt like that over time? Are these files beyond saving? Thanks..

Thanks Al..
The files originally used were imported from my Canon Vixia HF G10; I guess you would call them AVCHD files? Anyways, when the files were imported, a scratch disc folder as well as a Render Files folder was created. I arranged the imported clips in my sequence to make a two minute long videos, then exported as self-contained movie files. Would having tampered with or deleted these Render Files even AFTER exporting have corrupted the QuickTime file? ....because I may have done that..

Cannot Open Excel File after exporting from Disco Plus

Hi there,
I got a question from one user having issue with opening Excel file after exporting from Disco Plus.
The report has been using for a while and he is using Excel 2003 version and Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.2), he never got this kind of error before, just recently got error.
After exporting from Disco Plus he saved file on his desktop and when he tries to open the excel it says "Cannot be Accessed, can be corrupted...." but this is not from network drive since he saved file on local desktop or C drive.
Also not for all reports, only this particular report and only specific parameter, for example for parameter 2008 Feb opened successfully, but for2009 Feb he gets this error when trying to open excel.
i tried in excel 2007 also , i dont think this is Excel version error, am not sure.
Also after go live last week (we upgraded database from 9i to 10g) but i am not sure this causes ,since for one parameter working, for other parameter not working.
Actually we should get one window for Macro when we try to open excel, but he is not getting it seems.
Any ideas/thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help

Rod,
Thanks for your quick response on this.
Yes, we can export to other formats as well, but actually exporting is working, after saving the file on our local desktop/drive and when we try to open we get this kind messages or we cannot open the file, we should get message window for Macro to enable/disable but for this report we are not getting this either,
Also this happens only for specific parameters,like i mentioned above it works I mean excel file opens for one set of parameters but for some other set of parameters cannot open.
For example :- when we enter FEB 2008 it works, if we enter FEB 2009 it won't open the file.
This is weird
I am still working on this issue, may be better to recreate the report again might be helpful,
Any ideas/comments/thoughts would be great
Thanks
Skat

Lost CR files after exporting to jpg

I seem to have lost many original CR files after import > developing > export as jpg. I had made selects to develop and then output images as lower rez jpgs. When I went back to the original folders (on an external hd) those CR select files were missing / a gap in the photo sequence now exists and I cannot locate the originals regardless of searches. How is this possible?

Lightroom does not delete your photos unless you specifically tell Lightroom to do so, and this wouldn't happen in an Export operation anyway.
So I don't know how this is possible, but I'm pretty sure it can't be blamed on Lightroom
You need to:
1) check the Recycle bin; or if that doesn't work
2) restore the photos from backups, or if you don't have backups (why not?); or if that doesn't work
3) you can try to download something called an undelete utility and install it and see if it can find these photos (and if you are going to need this step, perform it immediately, do not do anything else on your computer)

Is there a way to train preview.app to view .epub files?

I can do a quickview (spacebar) on so many file types, but not a simple .epub file which is nothing but zipped html and css. Is there a way to educate Preview.app on new file formats?

How to delete the doubled file after exporting through iTunes?

When I exported an iMovie project from the iPad to Mac via iTunes, it created another file about the size of the movie project (about 5GB in my case).
Now that I exported the project, I want to keep the movie on the iPad but free that extra 5GB used to prepare the file for export. How do I do that?
Thanks for any hint.

Just delete the project in the iTunes/Apps/Sharing pane.
Once you have saved the file off, you can delete it from the Sharing Pane.
IMovie uses an internal area to save the project it edits, so the project in the sharing pane is a duplicate as you say.
You can only delete this file in iTunes though.

Saving PSD files after exporting from Lightroom saves incorrectly

I've only recently moved to Lightroom from using Photoshop/Bridge together, so I'm not 100% sure how saving files exported from Lightroom should go. But here's what I experience:
Base edit of file within Lightroom
In library view, right click on image -> Edit in -> Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
Perform all my necessary edits and such
File -> Save As, and save it to another location as a PSD file (totally different HDD)
Perform more edits....
Shortcut CTRL+S to save, and it saves it as the TIFF file under the location it was originally in within Lightroom
Eh...? Am I missing something. It should just save as the original PSD I created when I went "Save As". I have seen on a few occasions, immediately after "Save As", the file name resorts back to TIFF and not as PSD.
My settings for External Editing in Lightroom are as follows:
File Format: TIFF
Color Space: ProPhoto RGB
Bit Depth: 16 bits/component
Resolution: 300
Compression: None
Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Also, to note, that sometimes I double click on the Smart Object within Photoshop to load Camera Raw and perform some edits, but not often.

Re Camera Raw being used to pass an image to Photoshop
a) I am assuming this is independent of the Compatibility level in Preferences\File Handling DNG creation.
b) Does the same apply to other photo editing software made by Adobe like Elements?.
Reply: Yes, the principle is the same. Photoshop Elements cannot read raw data either. That's why it has to be converted before it's opened.
c) Assume that I have LR 5.7.1 and CS5. Is Camera Raw is still used to pass an image to Photoshop? If so, why is there a need to get LR to behave differently?
Reply: Camera Raw is used IF you choose the option to open anyway. Then Camera Raw will be used to convert the image that's opened in Photoshop. But since it is older than Lightroom some of the new adjustments might not be transferred to Photoshop. That's why there is a need to let the user make the choice.
d) Sometimes it does seem as if Adobe might be using Camera Raw updates and process version updates to get consumers to change their habits, this includes having to buy subscriptions or having to change workflow to some ideal that somebody at Adobe or working with Adobe might have in mind.
Reply: The fact is that in the past, when a new version of Photoshop is released then all support and updates cease for the previous version. Since the introduction of the creative cloud, at least users of Photoshop CS6 get support for new cameras. They just don't get the new features. Yes, there's motivation to upgrade. Adobe is a business. What do you really expect?
Re stacks
I find impossible to see collapsed stacks on the film strip. Stacks are only visible on the Library module and using a grid view; I don't say clearly visible because they are only recognisable by the label at the top left corner with the image count; I don't even think it is possible to change the colour of that label or the grey colour surrounding an image. Also I cannot name stacks. If I could name stacks, see them as virtual folders underneath a library folder and make them glaringly visible I would use them extensively.
Reply: The only reason I can think of that you are unable to see collapsed stacks on the filmstrip is if you have the filmstrip reduced in size to the point that Lightroom can't display all the icons. I'm able to see the collapsed stacks in the library grid view and on my filmstrip
Re storing your Raw files and processed files in separate locations
Assuming Raw files are negatives and Photoshop files are transparencies or prints, would you want negatives being handled/read on a regular basis? If anything happens to your negatives, you would never be able to produce another print or another transparency again.
Reply: The raw files or the negatives, as you put it, are never modified by Lightroom. They always remain in their pristine state they were in when they were imported. If I have a backup of that raw file then I can do whatever I want to the one in my working folder. Resetting that raw file so that it looks unaltered is just a click away.
I have worked extensively with databases and database systems, it is a standard feature of database systems to be able to choose where to store different database objects. I don't see why LR cannot do the same, it is a database after all. I do agree with both the OP and photo.
Reply: Well, I won't argue that point. If that's what you really want than lobby for it. It just won't get my vote because I don't see any real advantage.
If you read back through this quoted message you'll find that my replies are included. I don't know how to separate them out so they are highlighted properly. Read through it and think about it. But personally, I don't want to waste anymore time on this discussion because it isn't accomplishing anything in my opinion.

No link to the local .avi files after exporting Crystal report as .pdf

Hello all,
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one Text Object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object , it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem. What should be done in this case?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Extra Large File after Exporting Keynotes09/08 to PowerPoint

I recently exported a Keynote 09 file to PowerPoint format. The KN09 file size was 7.1M (Note: It was imported from KN08, where the file size was @8.5M. The KN09 further went through a 'Reduce File Size). When I exported the KN09 file to PPT, the size of the PPT file became 44.8M, which is slightly more than 6 times the original size. Why is this happening, and is there a way to downsize the PPT file upfront, or have it within the range of the KN09 file size, ie upfront in KN?
Fyi, I have also tried the same thing on KN08, ie export it to PPT, and it ended up with the same situation.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Thim

Much thanks for your quick reply, Brian, and also for the info on the embedded themes, etc. While waiting for a response, what I did was to remove all the special effects/transition for the bullet points as well as the slides in KN09, changed the themes to 'blank' and the Master/Appearance/ Background to a single colour, plus removing the shadows, etc. Thereafter, I saved the KN09 file (to another name), and exported it PDF to test out the file size (as previous attempt also ended up in a BIG file size. With this, I managed to downsize the KN09 file from originally 7.6Mb to 728Kb (KN09) and 260Kb (PDF) respectively. Have not converted the new KN file of 728Kb to PPT yet, but I would think the file size for this should be reasonably smaller, as compared to a direct export from KN09 to PPT (of 44.8 Mb). I would also think that after converting the downsized KN09 file to PPT, and put in the effects, the file should not be that big - definitely less than 44.8Mb!
Thanks again, and have a wonderful day. Greatly appreciated.

Large file after Exporting to wmv file

I just exported an mp4 file to windows media (wmv) and the file is 4x larger than the original. Is that normal after a conversion?
Nano

I have a similarly related problem. I am converting some video files to .m4v and i notice that even though the total size of the new files will be (for example) 1gig, the size of the folder i save the files to will be around 7gigs. i accidently saved a group of files to the desktop and it seems to have curtailed my harddrive size. i was wondering if you knew of a way to find all the extra fat and free the space back up on my harddrive.

InDesign adding a white stroke around element in .EPS file after export

I am trying to place an .EPS file over another image file (background is not white). It does not matter in which manner I place, copy or insert the file. Upon export to high quality .pdf (both interactive and print), there appears to be a while halo or stroke around one element in the .EPS file. The .EPS file is a logo with a blue box and writing next to it. The writing is fine, but the blue box has the stroke… so it is not the entire file element. Very strange. I have never seen this before and someone else testing the file does not have the same issue. Any thoughts?

AME CS4 darkens h.264 video files after export

Finding something really weird happening. Whenever I am exporting a file through AME into a quicktime movie file, h.264, the final product is darkened, almost like there is a grey filter in front of it. I can't find any setting that might be doing this, and can't seem to figure out what's going on.
Help? Please?

QuickTime has a 'bug' with gamma. Best to avoid it entirely and just use the normal MP4 container.

Deleting imovie files after export

Can I delete my imovie folders for movies that i have finished and exported to a .mov file? The folders with the original imovie files are huge (17 gig on average) and I need the drive space. To make dvd's in the future do I only need the idvd project file and the exported .mov?
thanks,
Craig

Welcome to the forum, Craig.
To make dvd's in the future do I only need the idvd project file and the exported .mov?
To edit a DVD later you need 1) the iDVD project file and 2) the source movie you originally included on that DVD.
If you exported the iMovie project to a movie for iDVD, you don't need to keep the iMovie project any longer. You need to keep it only if you haven't exported the project to a movie for iDVD. If you still have the movie, it's okay to trash the entire iMovie project folder.
Note that iMovie 4 lets you make an iDVD project without exporting the iMovie project to a new movie.

Lost files after exporting library to external HD

I recently exported my iTunes music folder to my external HD to free up space on my internal HD. Now when I try to play some songs a window pops up and says original file could not be found. I have lost alot of music and a great deal of it was purchased. Has this happened to anyone else?

iTunes' export option does not move any files - it just creates an XML copy of the library.

Cannot Read Quicktime file after exporting project from iMovie

Hello,
I've exported my iMovie project twice as a Quicktime Full Quality file, but it doesn't allow me to open it. It says "cannot read file", I've tried everything - I have the latest version of Quicktime and Windows Media Player and even transferred the Quicktime file to a Windows machine and the same thing happens. I can't import Video, Audio, Background Video, or Image on iDVD as it says File Not Supported...
Please help!
Chris

It says "cannot read file",
What says that? iMovie, QT Player, ...?
Is that ALL "it" says? No error code?
