Photoshop :: Reediting Recorded Action In CS4?
May 2, 2012
My problem is that I made a new folder that I call "photo manipulation" and moved my "save" folder into it with the new droplet I created. So the action can not any longer save in its original path and my photos get stuck, not even manipulated in photoshop! All I wanted was to add the new folder in the "save" path between two forward slashes. The answer apparently is to double click on the action's relevant portion and enter the new value.
As indicated in this segment "Overwrite a single command" as copied and pasted below. "In the Actions panel, double-click the command. Enter the new values, and click OK." This does not work for me - when I double click on an action command I get a pop up from "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended" with the yellow exclamation mark and [The command "SAVE" is not currently available] Continue Stop and there is nothing more happening whatsoever.
As said b4 I would have been faster to re record

I have two documents open, both flat (1-layer). Let's call them A and B, with A in the foreground. While recording an action, I bring B to the foreground and see "Select previous document" in the action pane, then select the move tool, and hold down the shift key to drag B onto A and center it.
The action shows "Select next document", as it should. But the move isn't recorded. The history shows a drag took place, but it's not in the action. I've tried this by following the drag with other recordable commands, but the drag isn't recorded. Not using shift-drag doesn't make any difference, either.
Aren't move tool steps recordable in an action?

I have recorded my bowling action (the English game of cricket, where you throw/bowl the ball the the batsmen). It was recorded side on to my run up. I wanted to measure my speed, so I thought, using 2 consecutive frames from movie maker, giving a time of 0.04 sec. Then using Pixlr(free photoshop), overlap the two frames, and measure the pixel distance the ball has traveled. Then I use the diameter of the ball (known) to measure how much distance each pixel is in real life. Then I calculate speed.
This should be accurate, with the only uncertainty coming from the pixel measurements. The results so far have me questioning if there are other factors I have missed, I got most of readings at 40mph, this is very slow, spinners bowl at this speed, I have been told I am faster, then I have one reading at 75mph. The fast one showed really good technique, so is why is that fast, but the slower ones shouldn't be that slow.

I need to make a few videos and then use those to make another and then use that to make yet another.
Is there a best (or better) format (avi, wmv, mpeg, flv, etc) for doing this to have the least loss due to the reuse or is there some trick to avoid loss (other than mastering everything in one project from the originals)?

I want to re-edit -remove some parts, adding a title- a fullhd VSX3 rendered file which looks and plays perfect. I never have problems with VSX2/3 even when re-editing. This time, it first takes seconds before it opens in the preview window when I click the library tumbnail. It freezes (with created or without smart proxi) for several seconds when I try to cut, or whatever on the timeline.
It only gets somewhat better when de-selecting "audio while scrubbing", but remains still much more "freezy" than all my other (rendered) files. It's a ~2.5 Gb AVCHD file rendered at 18Mb/s VBR in VS. The only thing what is different is that it contains (pre-converted to AVXHD) SD parts from a JVC camcorder (.mod), but it all plays back flawlesly in several HW and SW players.

I'm trying to set up Photoshop to create a bunch of thumbnail images. I've got actions to select various preset sizes with the marquee tool, and then one action that copies, creates a new document using the clipboard preset, pastes, and then resizes the image to 150 x 150 px.
The problem is that the resizing seems to have a mind of its own. Sometimes in the new image I get the selected area with a big blank space surrounding it, and sometimes most of it gets pasted outside the canvas so only a small part is visible.

I'm working with a file that has multiple layers that with almost exactly the same content.
The subject (car) just changes colors.
Let's say that there is a spot I want to clone out on each layer, (shown above as a black smudge) but when I do, the results are somewhat different every time. I'm looking for consistency.
Is there a way in CS6 to create a Tool Recorded Action to sample an area on a layer, clone out the ugly, then repeat the process on the layer below?
*The goal here is to sample an area initiated on Layer A (Yellow) and clone out an area on Layer A (Yellow)...
..then use the action to sample the exact same area, but this time sampled from Layer B (Orange) to clone out that same area on Layer B (Orange).
I want to get the same results on every layer so the look on every color is uniform.
I almost got it to work, but my problem occurs when I look at the details of the action.
If I could duplicate the steps and change the "Source: layer" to the layer name below, that might do it.
Also I used the shortcut CTRL + [ to "Select backward layer". When I look a the details on this it says "Without Make Visible." Is there a way to do this WITH MAKE VISIBLE?

I've just 'upgraded' to CC, and noticed that actions that alter Curves adjustment layers do not play back correctly.The Action itself contains the correct steps ... here's an example.. but it refuses to play this type of step in any Action, giving me the default, flat curve, thus ...I've an extensive set of Actions of this type for photo-processing: I take it that these are now pretty useless in PSD CC?

I have a DVD that was made from transferring a VHS PAL tape to a DVD. I can't see how to input the contents into VSProX4.
I downloaded Wondershare and that was easy to use to create an input file and I used VSProX4 to edit the file and make a 2 minute clip which I put on Youtube. The problem is with that the Watermark "Wondershare" is shown on the clip. I assume I need to spend $50 to buy a copy of Wondershare to not have the Watermark.
I tried a download of Handbrake. That created M4V files but it doesn't seem as though those files are compatible with VSProX4.
It would seem to me a basic requirement for a Video Editor to pull in a video from an existing DVD. I didn't think I would need to look for a program to RIP the DVD. What am I overlooking??
On the DVD there are 7 files. 2 *.BUP files, 2 *.IFO files and 3 *.VOB files. With either of the two programs I used above to RIP the DVD I think I saw 17 or 19 chapters.

I would like to know how many MINUTES (approx) of video recorded in highest quality 1080/50p video on a 32Gb SDHC memory card.
I have found a web site which suggests that 5 hours 20 minutes can be recorded with the camera's in built memory (32Gb) yet only 2 hours 40 minutes on a 32Gb SDHC memory card. I cannot understand why the inbuilt memory can store more than twice as much as on an equivalent size SDHC card.

What I am proposing to do is this: I have been asked to do the video for a friend's wedding. I would like to use a seperate audio recorder to record the audio of the wedding while I do the video on my camcorder. Then import the seperate audio track into VS X4 and sync it up with the video. The reason I am going to this extra trouble is that the built-in microphones on my camcorder are not that great unless I am "up close and personal" with the subject of the video. I have tried a short clip using an old MP3 player that records mono sound files and it appears to work well for the short video clip. What about with a longer clip, say up to an hour? If so, were there any problems keeping the video and audio tracks in sync?

I have a old version of Ulead video studio 10.0.0110.0 SE and would like to import recorded video from my camera but it breaks the files down into separate clips and would like to import them all at once. Is this possible or do i need to manually delete the ones I don't want and import the ones I do want. The connector is a AV cables to USB to PC.

I would like to convert my recorded mp4 videofiles with Corel Videostudio X3 to for example a DVD. The mp4 file is from a Sony DSC-H5 photocamera. It is HD quality not 1920 but i believe 1440 or something like that. What are the best settings to convert the mp4 to DVD without losing quality?

I am new to VSP X5. I want to edit a music video that I recorded live. The live recording of the music was fine but I need to cut and paste new video clips in certain part of the songs in the video timeline. I split the audio from the video.
I am having a hard time trying to sync the audio because every time I cut the video clip, the video keeps snapping back, making audio out of sync. Also, when adding transitions, video clips automatic shrink. I tried enable ripple, video still snap back. Is there a setting in the preference?

As the title says.. if I have a video, say for instance MPEG-4 1920x1080, rendered by Videostudio, and I multitrim it, then render it again using the 'Same Settings as First Clip' setting - is the video re-coded, or do I maintain original quality and the different parts are just effectively joined together?

How to undo a step in a recorded macro.
Let's say that the macro has 17 steps, instead of hitting undo 17 times... I just have to do it once.
What's this line?
And also where can I find downloadable resources on macro creation and editing?

We do a lot of artwork for screenprinting that needs to generally be 11" tall for adult shirts and 9" tall for kids sizes.
I recorded a macro that basically copies everything on the 11" page onto a new page, pastes the graphic and then resizes it to 9" tall. The problem is that when it resizes, it doesn't seem to keep the proportions.
For example, if I have a circle that is 11"x11" and use my macro, I would expect it to be resized to 9"x9"
Instead, after using my macro, the circle is resized to 9" tall by 8.36" wide.
Did I make a mistake somewhere when recording this macro? I'm not a pro at deciphering macro scripts so I've attached it here:
Sub Kids_Size() ' Recorded 6/30/2011 ActivePage.Shapes.All.CreateSelection ActiveSelection.Copy Dim p1 As Page Set p1 = ActiveDocument.InsertPagesEx(1, False, ActivePage.Index, 11#, 17#) p1.Layers("Layer 1").Paste Dim Paste1 As ShapeRange Set Paste1 = ActiveSelectionRange ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrCenter Paste1.SetSize 8.360346, 8.999996End Sub

i am trying to create an Action in CS3 but some of my actions are not been recorded.
What i want to do is run the Batch option on a folder with a 1,000 PDFs in it. The PDFs (which were created in Illustrator CS3) consist of a single page with a single embedded image at the foot of the page. I am trying to update that embedded image. The Actions i am trying to record are...
1) Select the single image in the Links palette.
2) Choose the "Relink.." option in the drop down menu of the Links palette.
3) Navigate to the new image and select "Place".
4) Save and close document.
But the first two actions are not been recorded.
From trying this manually the new image seems to take on the horizontal and vertical scaling of the previous image which is what i want. But if i am going to have to do a script then that is a factor that may have to be incorporated into the script.

I have been copying a number of pre-recorded video clips onto a DVD-R disc and playing them on my DVD recorder. As my Panasonic DMR-XW380 DVD recorder only plays DivX or XviD video files I have to convert the files I have to this format.
We have a Sony Bravia 40" TV and I was wondering about the best settings I should use for the Frame Resolution and bitrate etc. When I render anything to DivX with VS I use a Frame Resolution of 720 x 576 and a bitrate of 56kbps and this seems to play okay in my setup. Do you think these settings could be improved?

i am trying to build an action where the end product is a channel listing that has all the channel (R-G-B-L-C-Y-M-K (forget LAB a-b)). this will allow me to look at all the channels for contrast and subsequent extraction. i'm actually able to do this as i RECORD the action. but when i RUN the action, nothing happens.
in recording the action, i create a DUPLICATE IMAGE, then convert the new image to LAB. i then drag the "L" channel to the original image. it goes into the original image as an alpha channel which i rename to "Lightness." i then convert the duplicate image to CMYK and then one-by-one DRAG the individual channels to the original image. at the end of this process, i have all eight channels visible in the channels palette. this is what i want.
but then, when i RUN the action on a new image, the action fails to RECORD the "drag step and drop" step. the "L," "C," etc. channels are not dragged during the running of the action.
why does the "drag" step not record in the action

needs to overlay a grid over a photo and then save it as another file. In CS5.5 or earlier, no problem, but in CS6 it is not working for either of us.
The batch action (run from either Photoshop or Bridge) stops and prompts at the Save command every time no matter what format we save it in (psd, png, jpg, save for web, etc.).
I have been through the Web and the Adobe Forums and cannot find a work around for this. He cannot just hit enter everytime the popup window comes up because he has over 2700 photos to put this grid on.
