I upgraded to X5 today (from X3) after deciding I did not want to stary learning all over again in a new editor like Sony Vegas.... I am just getting started with X5 and the first problem i ran into was accessing my SmartSound files. I can play them in the X5 Auto Music tab but the ability to "Add to Timeline" or "Auto Trim" is grayed out.
View 2 RepliesI have Videostudio x4 Ultimate installed and everything works fine. When I click the Smartsound button all my tracks are shown and work fine.
The c:ProgramDataSmartsound Software inc points to where the sound files are are stored. I verified also that they are there outside the program.
I bought and installed Videostudio X5 Ultimate upgrade version on the same computer and now, when I click the Smartsound button nothing happens. Nothing appears. It is as if nothing is there. I got no errors while installing...
Went back to version x4 and reconstructed the database but to no avail.
I tried installing both programs on my new portable I bought a couple of days ago and it does the same thing.
Is it possible to import a Smartsound track and use it as the music for a DVD menu? If not, is it possible to convert a Smartsound track to mp3 or WAV to achieve the same end?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have VS4 and yesterday worked on a project with a music track and a voice-over. I created a track I liked using SmartSound, the automated music track creation app that comes with VS4 (and there's a version for VS2 & VS3 as well). A few seconds after the music track started, I wanted to dip the level so that I could insert a voice-over, but there was no way I could figure out to reduce the music level just during the voice-over. I had to reduce the level of the entire SmartSound track so that you can hear the voice-over above it.
I could have created multiple SmartSound tracks for this, using normal volume before and after the voice-over, and reducing the level during the voice-over. But that would create music that didn't flow as a continuous piece, and I like the continuous track.So... is there any way to change the level in the middle of a SmartSound track? I would normally click on the track in the timeline, split it into segments, and set the levels for each segment. However, the SmartSound track wouldn't let me do that.
I was in the middle of installing VideoStudio X4, but then I noticed that it's not going to replace VideoStudio X3 that was currently installed on my system. My initial thought regarding X4 not replacing X3 is I will have two copies of VideoStudio both the X3 and X4. So I canceled the installation process because that would eat my disk space, and I don't want to mess up with my X3 (and its registy) yet before I clarify some things. I also thought that by installing X4 and replacing the X3 files, X4 will take over what X3 has left off with.
So my questions are:
1) Do I have to uninstall VideoStudio X3 first, before I install X4?
2) If I uninstall VideoStudio X3, will it mean wiping out the files that I included in the library?
3) I will be using the trial version of X4 first, so I can decide if I want to upgrade. Assuming that I didn't want the upgrade and I decide to switch back to X3, will that mean re-installing X3 and re-setting my preferences? Also, will it function well? Because I'm under the impression that X3 and X4 uses the same registry keys, dll files, etc.
I am currently running VS Pro x2 - is it possible to upgrade directly to x4 or do I need to go through x3 first?

I only really use Photoshop, so I'm thinking maybe I should look at why I should or shouldn't upgrade. (Amazon has the upgrade @ $153.xx USD or something like that at the moment.)

I have CS3 and ultimately want to upgrade. In the short term, I need to deactivate the computers that previously had CS3 on them. I don't even have the computers anymore. I will then just reload my existing copy of CS3, get it re-established and move on from there. What is the simple way to do this?Â

I have just purchased the latest Photoshop Cs6 but I wasn't aware that there was another program. Photoshop elements that also included 3D. I have tried to upgrade to the 3D package but the trial download for elements is the same as the Photoshop CS6 version I already have so I can't get it to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have the photoshop elements 6/premiere elements 4 bundle and am thinking about upgrading to CS3. Issue is that I quite like integrated organiser/editor in PE6 and that Premiere elements is able to view and pull out photos from the PE6 organiser.
Am I right in thinking that if I upgrade to CS3, it will not be integrated into the organiser any longer?
Does that mean I would have to get lightroom as well? And presumably that still won't talk to Premiere elements?
e I've considered upgrading Photoshop on my computer (I like what I have, and hadn't really felt the need or desire to upgrade), and since that time, a lot has changed. Because of my lack of desire to keep track of the latest changes, I find myself extremely confused now that I am actually looking to upgrade, which is the reason for posting this. The general idea is that I'm currently using Photoshop 7, and when last I peeked in on Photoshop, that was as straight-forward as it needed to be. 7.0 was Photoshop, that's it. Now what's confusing me is what would be the best version to upgrade to? The obvious questions to follow -- what do I need it for? Varied. I do some web design, I do some photo touchups, and I do other aspects, such as getting ready to start production on an ezine (this is the primary reason I'm considering an upgrade, as I don't feel Photoshop 7 provides everything that I need to do that), for which I'd like to design a simple spread. What gets me is what all these new variations of Photoshop actually are, and what route should I be looking to go so that it's still the Photoshop I know and love, but upgraded and with the various improvements and such? I realise that might sound vague, but essentially I don't want to have to learn a whole new product just to enjoy the features that I already enjoy and know how to utilize,
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to re-install an upgrade from Photoshop 5.0 to CS2 after hard disk failure. I called Adobe Customer Service who tried to help by having me rename the instmsia file in CS2 but it didn't work and they referred me here. Does anyone remember how to make the upgrade install? When I put in the cd for CS2 it says that you need Photoshop 5.5 in order to install CS2. I know there is some extra step you have to go through to go from 5.0 to CS2 because I went through it 3 years ago when I first installed CS2.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI purchased a sealed legal version of Photoshop CS3. A few months later I purchased a sealed legal upgrade to CS4. Today I installed CS3 on the new computer, smooth installation and activation. Upon opening the application, I found I had somehow purchased CS3 Extended, which I don't even want. I then tried to install the upgrade to CS4 (not extended) and the serial number for CS3 was not recognized. I know there is some issue with the upgrading to a normal version from an extended one. How to procede? I searched the knowledge base but it only says that you can upgrade in this way if contact the Adobe Store (if purchasing from Adobe), I did not purchase these from Adobe.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've loaded up Photoshop 7.0 (upgrade from 5.0). I never used it and I am feeling lost.
I've played with making changes to pictures. I get that. I've played with the blending options and gradients. I think I've got the idea of layers down.
But, I don't know how to make just a circle image... or grab something from one image to use on another one. For instance, if I make a button and I save it. It ends up being saved as a square... so that there is white background behind the circular button. How can I just save the circle?
I wanted to cut the head of a flower out of one picture and put it on another picture.
How do I do that? I have found several tutorials on making buttons and doing some graphics... but I can't seem to find a tutorial that will show me how to cut out shapes and reuse them or save images that aren't square.
I try to install the 7.0.1 upgrade to PS7.0, it can't find "photoshop" even if I point it to the correct directory. The net result is that I can't install it.
