What's with CS4 and flash cards.

Could we have an update on CS4 and EX1/3 flash cards? Does Premiere CS4 recognize the flash files readily and is it easy to edit or does one need to still go though an intermediate codec to edit this format properly?

EX1/3 flash files? Do you mean the files from the EX1 and EX3? If so, then yes it does...and does so quite well.

Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

My project is edited in CS4.
I moved it to Encore CS4.
I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
Thanks Jim

OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck,

Colour differences in Photoshop CS4 and Flash CS4 - help!

Hi,
I've been having problems for a while now when working with Photoshop and Flash, so now I will try to find an answer to my problem.
The thing is, when I try to take designs from Photoshop to Flash, the colours are changing/looking wrong. See my attached screenshot below.
The document in the upper part of the screenshot, is the Photoshop document. There is a blue gradient in the image and the left color of the gradient is RGB: 0/90/132 and the right color is RGB: 0/131/191.
The document in the lower part of the screenshot, is the Flash document. Here I have used exactly the same RGB colours to achieve the same blue gradient background. But as you can see on my screen, the colours look totally different. The colours in the Photoshop document looks clearer/darker.
How can I solve this problem and get the colours to look the same in Photoshop and Flash, and why do I even have this problem?
Kindly asking for help,
/Erik

No one told me to use Monitor profile, I think it was default. I have
no knowledge about calibration of a monitor, but since it's a nice
Apple monitor i figured I wouldn't need to calibrate it.
When I open the file in Photoshop, Photoshop asks me whether to use
the embedded profile (sRGB in this case) or the working space profile.
And since I always use the emedded profile, I didn't think that it
would make any difference? The problem is still that I don't know any
way to set color handling in Flash, and the colors look all different
from Photoshop. What should I do?

Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,
Sterling

Problem with dreamweaver and Flash

Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
menus...
thanks.... have nice day.....

This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
content. By default, all active content including flash will
display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
not work for menu items.
I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
overlap with the flash movie.

Does iTunes see your phone?
Do you have a PC or a Mac?

Using Adobe PhotoShop CS4, I cannot add text to a new layer. It was always a snap with previous versions of OS 10. Has anyone else noticed issues with CS4 and Lion? Many thanks in advance. Pete Hendricks

Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
Has it returned to normal for you?

What's with apple and updates?

What's with Apple and the latest updates? They are really messed up! with ios 8.02 and 8.10 updating via itunes, (itunes 12.0.1.26) has screwed my iphone. The update fails. The restore won't go since it wants a password, which on a defaulted iphone, *there is none*. Now I'm stuck with out being able to restore my iphone and it's at factory default for mail and such. Screwed! What's the point of backing up your iphone if you can't restore it? Apple? ****!

Because that is the most recent version of Opera that the developers have issued to the Mac App Store.

I'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

Laptops best with photoshop and flash

Iwant to buy a mac laptop but i want the one that works best with photoshop and flash, money is not a problem,Please help me!

This is a bit obscure, and even biased, if you will. As of right now, there really is no one Apple laptop that works best with Photoshop and Flash. The previous 17" Powerbook G4 would have been a worthy investment, but Apple just recently replaced that with the 17" MacBook Pro. Any PowerPC processor (right now) will probably run Photoshop and Flash more smoothly, and efficiently, than any of the new Macs (Intel based), only because no current Adobe software is Universal, in which case, will have to run under Rosetta. Now, Rosetta is relatively decent, and bearable, but almost requires one to max out their RAM (when buying an Intel based Mac). As of right now, you're best bet is probably the MacBook Pro, with a 2.16GHz processor, and 2GB of RAM. It will be costly, but almost necessary if you're constantly working with Photoshop/Flash. Some time (probably around spring of) next year, Adobe will release CS3, which will be Universal, in which case the MBP would maintain it's value, and the Mac community will once again reach maximum production availability. Basically, I suggest you go with the maxed out MBP, but lay low, and deal with Rosetta, because in about a year, it will all be very much worth it.
So, hope this helps, and good luck with your purchase!

Help with CS4 and fireworks

Hey all, running out of time I am trying to set up a website for my sons baseball team this spring and I am in a little bit of a pickle. I am using DW CS4 and I have set up a slide show in fireworks CS4 as well, when I create the slideshow and test in a browser it works with no problem. Here is where the issue comes in to play, I create a sideshow using the the (player-black flash and when I import it into dreamweaver and set it up on my page I save the page and when I test I have no pictures show up. (I have included a screen shot) of what happens. I have tried different type of players and they all do the same thing. I have watched videos on how to import the slide show into dw and as far as I know that is not the problem. I have downloaded the most current version of adobe flash player but still no luck. And this is the one thing that everybody wants more than anything the pictures of games. Can anyone give me some help or suggestions, I have downloaded a software called visual sideshow, but I like the way fireworks looks and I plan on adding more slides as the year goes on. For what it is worth I have the copy of Adobe master collection CS4, but being new to web design and watching videos on fireworks it seem to be the easiest to learn. Can anyone give me some feed back on what I may be doing wrong. By the way I am using Win7 if that matters any
Thanks,

Fireworks is not the ideal solution for slideshows. Creating images, yes.
For a slideshow have a look hete http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1144742

CS4 and graphics cards

Not being all that technically-minded I'm not sure if my graphics card will manage all the functions required by Photoshop CS4. I've looked on ATI's site for the graphics card but can't find it - ATI Radeon 9650.
System Profiler tells me:
ATI Radeon 9650:
Chipset Model: ATY,RV351
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4150
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-A58503-115
Can anyone tell me if this card (which came with the G5) will allow me to use all the new functions of Photoshop CS4?
(System: G5 2.7DP 4Gb RAM running OSX 10.4.11)

Thanks for the replies.
I also found this statement on one forum: "If you expect the Radeon 9650 (standard equipment on the G5/2.7GHz Power Mac) to perform OpenGL and Core Image "miracles" just because it has 256MB of DDR and dual-link circuitry, you will be very disappointed."
So I took Ramón's advice, downloaded Photoshop CS4 demo - and true enough, the 9650 card doesn't have the necessary features.
All in all, having played around with CS4 today, I don't think it offers me sufficient changes to justify upgrading from CS2 - for what I do I just don't need the new features.

What's with CS4 and flash cards.
