Visible graphic export

hallo all,
How can I made a graphic, eg surrounded by a sprite (to hide the background), just as a picture export as may a PNG.
Maybe someone has this sample code
Thanks in advance.
thanks

Thanks for your reply.
As far as I know, targas can only be RGB. I couldn't find a way in Photoshop to work in YCbCr. I have Photoshop CS, so its pretty old, but even on my work computer, which has CS3, I didn't see anything. Next week I'll be installing CS4, so there might be something in that.
I won't be able to test anything until late tonight, but I'll try several formats to see if they make a difference. I'm wondering if there might also be some kind of option in FCE to convert imported graphics to the correct color space.
When keying graphics over video in your projects, how do you save them(formate,color space, etc)? Ever see this issue?
Thanks for your help

Graphic export

I can't get the graphic export function to work. I have made several attempts at exporting a region of a score using the clipboard alternative, but in vain. When I try to paste into another program the paste command is greyed out.
Can anyone help?

Hi
The Score Editor does still have the camera tool (below the Velocity tool in the menu), but it is much better to use the Print to PDF functions built in to OSX.
Select Print, then click th ePDF button in the dialog box.

Powerpoint graphic export filters

Hi guys;
I'm using Java to Com bridge technology for ppt automation to export a ppt presentation's slides as GIF images.
the issue here is wether PowerPoint graphic export filters are always
Installed with ppt.
what if my program can't find GIF graphic export filter ?
is there a way to check if gif graphic export filter is installed
on user machine before trying to export ?
I would appreciate a lot some source code .
Please help !
thanks.

Hello,
To export layouts with filters, go to the View menu > Layout > Open. Then choose the layout that you want to export, and open that layout. Then go to the Filters dialog box, select the filters that are active, and click on the 'Copy as Layout' button at the bottom right of the Filters dialog box. A copy of the filter will be made to the Layout Filters section within the Filters dialog box.
Next, save the layout (View menu > Layout > Save). Then, go to the View menu > Layout > Open. Choose the layout and click on 'Export'. The layout will be saved as a Primavera Layout File (.plf). The filters will be included in the layout file.
You can also refer to Article ID 906320.1 and ID 903492.1 in the KnowledgeBase.
Hope this helps!

After Effects are not visible when exporting in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

I have made a simple name/title bar for an interview video, using Adobe After Effects. When i import the composition to Premiere Pro it's visible in the preview window BUT; when I render the video in Premiere Pro the After Effects clip is not visible anymore. AND when i export the complete sequence to a .wmv file, the After Effects clip is not visible either.
I'm not that much of an expert in Premiere Pro or After Effetcs, so hopefully this can easily be solved.
What is it that i'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

The names are the same, but the programs are very different... CS4 is 32bit, CS5 and later is completely rewritten to be 64bit
So, there is a different forum for CS4 and earlier http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous?view=all

Vector graphic export?

How can I move vector graphics from Keynote to other applications (like Adobe Illustrator) using the new version? I had no problem in Keynote 5. I really like using Keynote to make images and if I can't figure it out I will have to switch over to Illustrator full time...

You answer seems inappropriate to me, and I hope to many others.
Then your using the wrong software. If your need is to create vector drawings then if you have Keynote version 5.3 use that, it is compatible with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard through to OS 10.10 Yosemite, alternatively use a dedicated vector drawing application, there are many to choose from, two are mentioned in this discussion.
It is so frustrating to see that the V6, that uses natively vectors shape, cannot export them by a simple cut and paste.
Keynote does not have this feature, use an appropriate application that meets your needs.
removing this feature is a true handicap for Keynote.
The purpose of Keynote version 6 is to; "create and deliver beautiful presentations", so states the Apple Keynote webpage.
Keynote is not disadvantaged in the least when creating presentations by the lack of exporting vector drawings.
Why would profesional designers use or promote Keynote if this software is no longer able to properly interact with other design tools?
Probably because it does in fact work very well with respected professional tools, it can import media from Photoshop, Illustrator, Word, Numbers, Excel, Indesign, Final Cut Pro, Garageband, Protools ..............
Apple has lost its common sense.
People have been saying that since 1976.

Hi Sebastian,
The general answer is NO. But you can use data from series node (if you are using WD) to generate excel download and after build graphic there.

Trouble Batch watermarking - watermark is not visible on exported files - help please

Hi, I am new to lightroom. I tried to batch watermark photos during export & once it is complete I click on an image & no watermark is there. What am I doing wrong?

It is a text watermark, but I also tried just the simple copyright mark in case I had done something wrong in the watermark editing & it didn't show up either.

Video track that had visible graphics now requires rendering

I've been editing in graphics/slides (video track 2) over the speaker (video track 1), so the finished video cuts back & forth between the person looking at camera and his slides.
This worked fine until just now -- something changed and now when my playhead (in the timeline) plays over one of those graphics, the blue "Unrendered" box appears in the Canvas and I can't see the graphic.
Did I inadvertently change a setting?

Perhaps you have changed the RT setting in the timeline to 'Safe RT' from 'Unlimited RT'

Problem keying graphics over video when exported.

Hey
I'm new to FCE, but I work professionally in the television industry doing graphics/compositing/3d.
Outside of work, I mess around with my own movies and hardware.
I'm cutting together a piece shot with my Canon VIXIA HG20 camera. The footage/project is 720p.
My problem is that when I key a graphic over the video, it looks great while working in Final Cut, but when I export a full quality video, the graphics cause the entire screen to shift levels. The saturation drastically changes the instant the graphic begins to fade on. It doesn't shift gradually with the fade. This is only visible after export. The graphic is rendered. The image is a 32-bit Targa. The levels in the graphic are within the NTSC broadcast color range. I prepped it the same as I've done for years professionally.
I don't think this is a compression issue, because the change happens immediately, before the graphic is even barely visible.
I looked around, but couldn't find anyone with similar issues, but hopefully this has already been figured out by someone.
Any answers or suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks
Colin

[SOLVED]systemd and make a camera visible GUI-wise in your filemanager

After reading a lot about systemd in the wiki and in this forum I understand there are different opionons about systemd. Anyway, I have a adapted all the changes to rc.conf leaving out only a few daemons to start there. So why not give systemd a try? If you dont want to read the full posting I finally got it to work, basically by reading carefully and checking the suggested tests in the systemd wiki. (loginctl)
As suggested by the wiki, I tried the systemd yesterday. Enabled via systemctl some services to "replace" my rc.conf daemons. I got what I thought everything to work, including autologin directly to my Xfce4 desktop. Everything except the digital camera.
When starting Arch traditionally via initscripts I immediately can see the camera in the filemanager (Nautilus) when the camera is attached via USB.
Some minutes later, after adding "init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" to the APPEND line in Syslinux and rebooting, my machine reboots
fine.But when connecting the camera again it is not visible graphically.
The camera is there because when using gphoto2 (the commandline) as root I can transfer pictures etc.
Even if I am no happy CLI user I can handle it when necessary. Handling pictures a graphical view of them is much easier...
As the wiki about systemd says one can try it out. I have not removed anything from the system and when starting Arch again, the initscript way, I can see the camera again in my filemanager, gthumb works again and pictures can be transferred to my machine.
In the wiki again, this time about digital cameras
Permission issues
Camera devices should be granted permission using ACLs. For this to work, users need to have consolekit or systemd running and the user session must be registered with them accordingly.
Check this using /usr/bin/ck-list-sessions to verify a value of "TRUE" should be returned for both the "active" and "is-local" fields:
$ ck-list-sessions | grep TRUE
active = TRUE
is-local = TRUE
ACL=Atlantic Container Line is what first comes into my mind. I have had some connections to transport business...I admit I had to google it to find the correct interpretation of this mumbo-jumbo.
The wiki also gives a "hint", if this is not working try to use the obsolete camera group and edit some udev rules.
Should not be necessary when it has worked before systemd and earlier experiences
But what is this about "Permission issues"? Here is my listings relative the wiki hints. All seems OK.. or why the heck are there two sessions??
[leif@krasaki ~]$ ck-list-sessions | grep TRUE
is-local = TRUE
active = TRUE
is-local = TRUE
[leif@krasaki ~]$ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-10-24T07:12:56.499847Z'
login-session-id = '1'
idle-since-hint = '2012-10-24T07:13:26.994037Z'
Session2:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-10-24T07:13:02.361157Z'
login-session-id = '1'
[leif@krasaki ~]$
As one can see, the ACTIVE values are here as the wiki says. But no camera. Those values are the same, wheter which way the machine is started. But 2 sessions??
Further reading in the systemd wiki article and consolekit vs systemd.logind gives a clue.
From the wiki:
In order to check the status of your user session, you can use loginctl. To see if your user session is properly set up, check if the following command contains Active=yes. All polkit actions like suspending the system or mounting external drives with Udisks should then work automatically.
So when started via systemd and running logintctl, it gives this surprising result. Does not matter wheter as normal user, nor as root....
[leif@krasaki ~]$ loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT
1 1000 leif seat0
1 sessions listed.
[leif@krasaki ~]$ loginctl show-session 1
Id=1
Timestamp=Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:57:03 +0200
TimestampMonotonic=20040019
DefaultControlGroup=name=systemd:/user/leif/1
VTNr=1
TTY=tty1
Remote=no
Service=login
Leader=315
Audit=1
Type=tty
Class=user

KillProcesses=no
IdleHint=yes
IdleSinceHint=1351069009642296
IdleSinceHintMonotonic=6664433
Name=leif
[leif@krasaki ~]$
Surprising? Should it not have been Active=Yes? So something is wrong in my settings although it had worked "before" starting using systemd..
OK, so far. Lost? Not yet. Double check again everything and I found the culprit, my ~/.bash_profile which had worked before seemed a bit different to what is suggested in the wiki. The old one, actually started 2 sessions, as also could be seen here above checking ck-list-sessions. That was the problem
Using a fresh edited ~/.bash_profile as suggested here, the camera is visible graphically
Finally, just for fun, start again the old initscipt way. Enabling daemon and so on. Still 2 sessions going on....Here it was the "/.xinitrc, which also had some old fashions and I removed the ck-launch-session from the exec line. So even here, now only 1 session..
Anyway, now the camera is visible, both starting with initscripts, naturally also some daemons active in rc.conf and by starting with systemd.
I rest my case and it seems systemd works with everything on my machine which is just a normal desktop used by an old man.
Thanks for reading...

Solved now! Boot times are as fast as posssible on my HDD I think. Only thing after uninstalling initscripst and initscripts-systemd was that locale was not set inspite of a correct /etc/locale.conf. I had to make /etc/profile.d/locale.sh with this content;
if [ -s /etc/locale.conf ]; then
. /etc/locale.conf

"Milky" Results When Exporting from AE to FCP

I've been using After Effects for years now to create graphics for our Avid projects, which have always been great! Now that we're using FCP, I'm not exactly happy with the results of my QT graphics exported from After Effects to FCP: they're extremely "milky" and faint when viewed from FCP over an NTSC monitor. I have tried various codecs when exporting: DV/NTSC, Animation, Component-- all with the same results.
I have read other threads with similar comments (even the thread that mentioned "milky" results when exporting from FCP to AE and back) but none of the suggestions/remarks helped in my situation.
I'm sure others have experienced this. Any suggestions?
Settings:
After Effects comp: NTSC/DV Preset (720 x 480, lower field, etc.)
Export Codecs: DV/DVCPro-NTSC, Animation, Component (same milky results)
Final Cut: Sequence Preset DV/NTSC 48 Khz
Also tried using, as one thread suggested, the "Uncompressed 8 bit NTSC 48 Khz" preset and nothing better
Side note: I'm using Final Cut in this system with both DV video and Betacam, using an Aja card. Both DV and Beta results look the same (going straight thru the decks-to-NTSC monitor).
And yes, I've checked the NTSC monitor-- a Sony Trinitron PVM-20 monitor. And I've looked at the results on other monitors and even regular TVs. Milky faint video all around.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Type shifts upon PDF export

I have been wrestling with an issue for a while now and hope someone can shed some light on it.
When exported from InDesign as a PDF, type often shifts vertically, horizontally, or both. The problem appears to get worse from left to right and top to bottom. The more columns there are, the worse it gets across columns.
This problem was first caught on a commercial printer's proof when I noticed the type had shifted from my InDesign file to their proof. Since most commercial printers use PDF workflows (as this one did), any bug in PDF export represents a major issue. I have had projects print incorrectly due to this and I am in need of a fix that commercial printers can also implement because current projects are suffering from it and past projects have come out wrong.
I have replicated the issue on numerous different machines (and even had it tested by friends around the country) running everything from CS3 to CC, so it seems to be a systemic and possibly old InDesign / PDF export issue. The problem seems to happen with any font format — OT, TT, orPS. The PDF settings (x-1a, x-4, etc) don't seem to affect the issue.
Anyone can probably create a test file that will show the issue by making a vertical tabloid document with three columns, threading text to fill all three columns, and then setting the type to be 9pt / 12pt leading. Export a PDF and then import it and lay it directly on top of the page in InDesign, after having changed the type in InDesign to another color. In the samples below I changed the InDesign text to magenta, and the black is the PDF laid on top of it.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Mike

So I think we have a working solution for PDF/X-1a or simply a PDF with version Acrobat 4 (PDF-v1.3).
The trick is to force transparency reduction to the text frame. One can do it without converting text to outline.
Just put a rectangle with a fill of 100% [Paper] set to transparency 0% on top of it. Downside is, that the exported PDF will get a white background.
Currently for PDF/X-4 I see no chance to work around the issue, if:
1. Point size is 9 pt *
2.1. A baseline grid of 12 pt * is used and the paragraph styles are set to align to it
or 2.2. If the pointsize is extactly 9 pt * and the leading is exactly 12 pt *
* I did not check all other creteria you mentioned in your 7th post: the ratio assumption between pointsize and leading, maybe the formula is something like that: Text Line Distance = n * (Pointsize + Pointsize / 3 ) => creep.
I packed all documents to a zip archive that you can download from my Dropbox account:
Dropbox - 150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.zip
150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.zip contains the following files:
   150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.indd
   150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.idml
   Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf
   Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf
"150127-1-TextShift-CS5.5.indd" contains several layers (from top to bottom):
Text2Path (currently invisible)
Layer1
PDF-Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-when-exported   (currently invisible)
PDF-Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-when-exported (currently invisible)
The mentioned white rectangle is placed on master spread A on layer "Text2Path".
Live text in a text frame is on "Layer1" (visible).
Layer "PDF-Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-when-exported" contains the placed PDF "Layer-Text2Path-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf", layer color is green, because here we can see no issues.
Layer "PDF-Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-when-exported" contains the placed PDF "Layer-Text2Path-NOT-VISIBLE-PDF-X1a.pdf"; layer color is red and showing the issues.
Both PDFs are exported with the same PDF Export Preset.

Flash Pro CS5 Convert to Flex Component and SWC export

Hi,
my question is about the Flash Pro CS5 and Flash Builder 4 (Flex 4) integration.
My goal is simple - to make a simple graphic in a MovieClip and then export that for use in Flash Builder 4. I found out I have 2 ways of doing that:
1) -> create the MovieClip with the graphic
    -> export it for ActionScript with a name of the class
    -> select the symbol in the library again and export SWC file. Total size of this SWC in my example is 24kb.
    -> put the SWC in the libs folder and use the class/component which should be put inside SpriteVisualContainer or UIMovieClip
2) -> create the MovieClip with the graphic
    -> export it for ActionScript with a name of the class
    -> select it in the libraly and then select Commands -> Convert Symbol to Flex Component
Now here we can do 2 things:
    -> select the symbol in the library and export SWC file. Total size here is 104kb.
    -> publish the whole project and use its SWC file.
And last:
    -> put the SWC in the libs folder and use the class/component wherever you want because it's already extending UIMovieClip.
So My point is that with the first way I need to use just one simple container to put my component into and I save like 80 kb. Why would I want to use the second way, just to be more comfortable or there are other reasons too?
I was thinking that maybe I could put more flex converted components in the fla file so I would then export the swc with all of them being already flex components and that 80kb will be shared for all of them, which makes sense of using this feature, but if someone could confirm my thinking is right or there was some other better purpose or way of doing things in an optimised way, I will be glad to hear them. Thanks!

Hi,
I am using the first option while converting from flash to flex. Its easy and it saves lots of memory.
