Lightroom :: Why Is ITunes Not Live When Click Select Music
Jan 3, 2013
I am attempting to add a soundtrack to a slide show using Lightroom 4. However when I click on 'select music' few applications in the dialogue box when appears, including iTunes are not live. Therefore I cannot select any music.
We aren't able to download from I-tunes into slideshows, (PS Elements 12). Says we need another codex to compress/ decompress. We've tried several players. What steps do we take to make this happen?
I am trying to select a song for a slide show. The song is in the library of Windows Media Player. When I am in LR Slideshow I click on "select music" The Select Music window does not show the Windows Media Player.
This is on a PC laptop with Window Vista Home.
How can I get to the library in the Windows Media Player to select a song?
A couple of things that seem to be missing in LR4. In all previous versions of LR, I could select non contiguous folders (or collections or a mix of the two) by holding down the Command key (using a Mac). That doesn't work in LR4. Also, when I create virtual copies (which I also do all the time), the copies lose the name of the original. They are simply name "copy 1."
When I click the select tool, a brown selection type of rectangle appears in a particular area of the illustration, even though I have not clicked on the illustration yet. I assume it is some type of warning indication, but don't know what. P.S. It is draggable and scaleable - I can move it off the artboard. An example:
When I try to import an I Tunes playlist into a slideshow soundtrack, it only allows me to mark one song. How do I get the whole playlist? I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.5 and Lightroom 4.3
I use quite often the right click in the window to select a layer, which works great. But sometimes this feature stops working as the menu does not come up with the layers below the mouse. First I thought it was the mouse but rightclicking in any other part of the screen (such as the border around the document or the panels works fine.
Is this a setting I need to make or is it a different problem such as lack of memory or what?
In my illustration I have like 300 objects and 100 of them are gradient objects. The gradient colors all different. How to select all gradient objects in one click? Is there any plug in ore some trick?
I'm working on something where I had the text conform to a curve. Now I would like to make the curve path in visible, and I was able to search for instructions on how to do that except that I'm finding them mystifying. I read "you can select a single item inside a group with Ctrl click," but when I go to the group in the layers gallery, the text and curve are treated as one item, and I see no way to separate the two.
I select the edge and I click unwarp with roadkill, but nothing happens. in the MEL bar gives me this error: Warning: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2011/scripts/RoadKill.mel line 177: Option "Use legacy vertex order" will only take effect when option "Multiple Objects" is enabled.
How can I select ALL non-transparent pixels from a layer?
- Ctrl + click doesn't work (it seems to have a 50% tolerance - my opacity 7% and 40% pixels don't get selected);
- The magic wand tool with 0% tolerance does work (when I click on a transparent pixel it selects ALL opacity 0% pixels around it and then I just have to inverse selection), BUT my image has a lot of holes with transparent areas and selecting them one by one would be tedious.
I have sometimes an array with 10x45=450 assemblies. Because this slows down my computer dramaticly I use LOD to suppress parts within the assembly. The problem is that I have to expand every single assembly in the array, select all of them and than choose the LOD I want. This takes me a lot of time. Is there a way I can select all assemblies within an array with one (or two) clicks?
I know this problem is really simple, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I should be able to left-click on a layer, hold in the shift key while left-clicking on a layer further down the list to select multiple layers. It doesn't work, I can't even get the (Alt-Left Click) command to work, allowing me to select individual layers.
Both these commands work in Image Ready and Flash just fine.
I have checked the keyboard settings, but I am not really sure what to look for - nothing seems out of the ordinary.
All of the sudden I cannot double click on text to edit and I cannot select items before I use a command. If I have selected an object the delete button will not work.
For whatever reason the "select similar" command has disappeared from both my right click menu and my cui list when I'm in my personal profile on Architecture... Can't seem to get it back in my personal profile although can access it if I go back to the Autodesk Standard profile.
I have a cheap mouse and quite frequently while using the free select tool, one click will result in Gimp automatically connecting the current points to the beginning of the path. my mouse is to blame and I experience mouse issues in other programs too... mainly one click will result in double click actions.
so I was wonder how/if I can turn off the feature where double clicking would connect the path of the free select because I kinda have to refrain from using the free select tool because I don't get very far before it connects itself to the beginning.
Puppet Warp is a great tool. But sometimes I want to isolate an area and only rework that spot, while keeping everything else in place. To do this I have to go around clicking everything to pin it down. I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically pin all possible points, or click-and-drag to create pins at all intersecting points of the web.
I use PSE9 for digital scrapbooking. Lately, when I have several pictures and elements on the page, I have to click on the Layers Pallette to select an item to move. If I don't click on another item, the item I have just selected will move when I move my mouse. I used to be able to click on an element or picture on the page and move it.
My slideshows are quite lengthy and run for longer than a standard song. If I fit to the music, the slides change too quickly. Is it possible to somehow have multiple songs that run back to back ?? It would be great if more than one song could be fitted to the duration of the slideshow. I like to have a decent time length before each slide changes.
I have created a slideshow with Lightroom 5 that has 807 photos. The duration of the slide show is 1 hour, 33 minutes. When I try to add music in LR 5, it will allow only one song. How do I add music that will cover the entire slide show?
In the slideshow module of Lightroom 5.3, whenever I select a music file it becomes the default for all other slideshows. Didn't have this problem in Lightroom 3.x. Is there a way to over-ride this so that each collection can have its own music track?
I have a timing problem when exporting slideshows to video, they just drift out of sync. Using 'fit to music' the preview syncs perfectly but the pictures overrun by about 4% when exported to an MP4 file. I can correct this by clipping the show and dissolve times manually but that means doing the maths and rendering it out (several times) to get it perfect.
