    Collecting for output on a PC

    I've had this happen before. I solved the problem by Collecting for Output on a different drive than the original file location. I don't understand why this happens, but that's how I get around it.

    How to convert Autocad in Photoshop...

    Hi, I think that maybe Photoshop is not the application you should use. I have alot of success using CorelDraw to import a variety of file formats including Autocad and similar type of formats ie dxf, cgm, igs etc. Once you import into CorelDraw you can then export the drawings out as tif to...

    illustrator files in corel

    I use both CorelDraw V10 and Illustrator 9.0. I swap files back and forth between the two with no major issues. I think all that would matter would be font issues (better to create outlines on the fonts) and what version of either software is being used. You could be safe in saving your...

    getting rid of "white" boundary box

    The reason you are getting the white boundry box on your imported images is because you need to have an alpha channel as your backround on your image. If you are using Photoshop to create your images, make sure you have a transparent background. I always use the native photoshop format (.psd)...

    LM 2?

    I have just pre-ordered Live Motion 2.0. According to Adobe, it will ship in February, I have also found MM to be to difficult to use. I have been using Live Motion 1.0 for about a year and it's so much easier to create animation. I can't wait for version 2 for the action scripting tools.

    The Best Filetype for Corel from Illustrator

    From my experience, Illustrator version 7.0 is the best version to save your images in. Corel likes that version best. CorelDraw 10 will save it's files as a Illustrator V7 file.

    "Copy Properties" does not copy properties correctly.

    Hi, I can't really tell you why it's not working. Copying the same colour and fill properties is just a matter of selecting the object that is the source object, right-click your mouse (for Windows platform) and drag onto the target object.

    "Copy Properties" does not copy properties correctly.

    I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Are you selecting several objects or a group of objects and trying to fill them with the same colour? You can send me the file and tell me what you want to do. Which version of Corel are you using?

    Titles

    I have found that creating the graphic image in Photoshop with a transparent background works great for what you are wanting. Premiere should include the transparancy of the .psd file when you import it. If not, you have the option to select the background to remain transparent by choosing...

    "Scaling with image". Scaling several objects ??

    I believe you have to have the scale with image box checked for each individual line weighted object in order to scale the entire selected group and their line weights.

    Im a newbie how do I create a text opening

    I personally like to use Adobe Photoshop to create my titles and logos. The native .psd format is easily imported into Premiere. Make sure the aspect ratio of your title file is the same as the video your editing.
