I use VideoStudio X2 for most of my video editing but I haven't been able to recreate a menu that I regularly use in VS9. I wanted the icons to approximately a certain size and the ability to have 2 lines of descriptive text underneath. VS9, whilst perhaps a little clunky in the way it works, does have the flexibility I need. In my DVDs I might have 30 title so I do want 6 on a screen and about 5 menus are created.
I have attached my VS9 template (ignore the Background Image referring to VS10). With this template, I can just keep adding files or create new discs with no changes required to the format and only some minimal text editing. Can VS X2 be tweaked to have a similar menu?

I am aiming to recreate the texture of the trees in this site map. It looks as though it was originally created with a marker pen, and has several shades of green that I want to also wish show. I have already created the trees, so its just the coloring i'm struggling with.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've found that the actual font was made by Bethesda (The company that makes the game) and not available on the web. I'm using a substitute, but now my biggest concern is the effect on the font.
So obviously it's a hard Bevel and Emboss, but it's the texture that's killing me. It's either hand-brushed or has a textured overlay.I'm counting on the latter.

Now the thing that I don't know how to do correctly are two things:The first being how to make the bumps around the two joysticks And second, the general lighting on the controller.

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow I might reproduce the floor in image?
how to make a grid, and rotate it, and change the perspective, etc. What I can't figure out, is how to get the grid to blend together in the background as if it goes on for a very long distance. Even if I start with a huge grid and then rotate and shrink it down how I want it, it doesn't look like that picture. The 'far away' grid lines get faint and do not start meshing with each other.
This is probably a frequently asked question, but doing some searching turned up nothing. I have Paint.net on one computer, and I'm setting it up on another. Is there a way of getting a list of all the plugins I've installed on the previous one, so I can install them on the new one? In poking around, I haven't been able to find a thing that lists all the extras I've installed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to reproduce an alignment shown on some plans. I have not had any luck finding a tutorial about how to re-create an existing alignment.
I have a page of plans, it shows the center line going from a back tangent, into a spiral, through a curve, and spiral to tangent. How do I create an alignment from this data?
Spiral Curve
Delta: 1d33'47"
Length: 250.00'
o=0.57'
t=125.00'
Total Curve:
Delta: 24d09'01"
T=10105.34'
L=2,181.34'
o=4582.63'
Main Curve
Delta: 21d01'27"
D=1d15'02"
R=4582.06'
L=1681.34'
Spiral Curve
Delta: 1d33'47"
L=250.00'
o=0.57'
t=125.00'
I am a surveyor and I'm having a hard time understanding the alignment creation tools, in my data collector it is much simpler, you enter the back tangent and the end radius and the length of spiral and whale, but I'm trying to build a corridor, so I can stake the dtm.
I'm sure i can locate a tutorial for clouds, Just i am recreating this cloud BG effect but i cant find that really nice bright light effect over the clouds and the really bright shine around the human layer.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently work for a construction company, we mostly focus on roadway rehabilitaion. We recieve DOT paper plans containing the construction plans and cross sections. I have been till now using the cross sections to build the roadway in Agtek, which is the software we use, then from there I can do my takeoff for excavation, utlites and areas. We have the 2012 BIM software and i'm very intersted in using that to rebuild the plans so I can preform the takeoff just as the DOT does as well as to model the utilities. Also i'm intersted in creating the model to show the estimators and the higher ups, so we can create a phasing plans, traffic plans or how we would want to handle the roadway rehab in general. I'm a novice in terms of Civil 3D, so this would be something i'd be practicing at home first.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to take two 3D views from (autodesk) Revit Architecture 2012 to Illustrator CS5 and then make use of the live paint bucket tool*. I've printed the two 3D views into pdf files and imported them in Illustrator**. When I select the whole image in Illustrator and then click with the Live Paint Bucket tool on the drawing to modify the drawing so I can color the surfaces, Illustrator gives me the following error:
"The selection contains objects that cannot be converted. Live Paint groups can only contain paths and compound paths. Clipping paths are not allowed."
Exporting images (jpg, png and tiff) from Revit results in the same error. Is there a way to easily convert my vector drawing into a non-clipping paths drawing? Also I'm not sure if the problem should be found in either Revit or Illustrator. What's also strange is that I'm using a tutorial provided by my university, in which there are no issues with clipping paths or anything.
* This in order to make an conceptual image of my building, which I've modeled in Revit. I want to add basic colors to surfaces in Illustrator and then take the image to Photoshop to add shadow, materials, sky etc.

I have someone doing a drawing and i am asking them to draw it at 1:1 instead of 1:100 even though the final result is going to need to be a 1:100 drawing in eps or pdf.
Is it extremely simple to get a eps or pdf at 1:100 even if the drawing is at 1:1 - while retaining clarity and/or detail etc?
My understanding is that they want this scale for publication but my thinking is that drawing at 1:1 is a much better idea in case i need to use this later.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of my co-workers has drawn a shoe (I work in the clothing-business) and is experience huge performance issues on that specific file. We've tried in both CS5.5 and CS6 with no difference.
When I try to rasterize the drawing, Illustrator stops responding. I've tried Simplifying and Cleaning up the paths, but with no lucks. It's not a particularely advanced file, but there seems to be a LOT of paths.
According to the "Document info"-window, there's 110,823 paths (67 open). On another drawing of a shoe (which has some similarities in looks etc.) there's only 86 paths (10 open).
How can I reduce the number of paths? And shouldn't I be able to see all 110,823 paths in the drawing?
somehow my selection tool has turned into a black pencil with the 'no' symbol next to it. I can create text but it will not allow me to select a drawing tool.

I brought a pdf into Illustrator and I want to draw a line over a portion of that pdf, but when I draw the line it appears to place it behind the pdf - obscuring portions of the line.
