F2 doesnt seem to work on my Mac OS, but maybe there is a shortcut I'm unaware of. In photoshop, double clicking on the layer name allows you to enter a new name and option clicking the new layer button allows you to name it as you create it. Maybe right click (or ctrl click on mac) could be used to...

Is there a way to change the layers name from "layer 1" by just clicking on it, or do you have to double click .. then change from the layer settings dialogue box? If there isnt, I guess I would request a way of naming the layer when creating it, or at least not having to open the layer se...

so.. you export your work to photoshop.. and all layers come in at once, but everything now becomes rasterized and you lose all your vectors dont you? and you cant import back into moho to continue working without everything getting squashed into one png file layer. What am I missing?

What will be replacing interlaced video.. (high definition?) I'm not opposed to other formats if it doesnt involve complete replacement of all my current equipment. Interlaced video is fulfilling what I need right now, but if its possible to plan ahead and stay on a hobbyist budget .. even better!

No masters.. just a hobbyist. I made a video for my oldest daughter.. then felt I had to do even better for the middle child.. http://homepage.mac.com/garbdandl/Menu17.html (I didnt post link in share your work because I didnt use moho yet) Now I have to one up for the last child, which is why I'm t...

I thought interlace had to do with how video draws lines onscreen but it seems even more confusing than that! I'm in the process of assembling misc parts that I will eventually put together and render for a video to be shown onscreen off of a minidv tape. In the past I would use standard FCP setting...

When I save a photoshop file as a png for import into moho, it asks me if i want interlaced or non. I think I choose non since its the default answer. Does it make a difference which I choose?

Im still confused about photoshop.. If I import a psd file it shows up as broken link, so how can you import a layered file and preserve layers?

thanks! I searched the forum for 5.2 and couldnt find it.. completely missed the category of announcements... now if I can figure out how to import a layered photoshop file... (I thought I had to convert to png file with no layers..)

Can you import layers from a photoshop file?
What else is different between 5.2 and 5.1?

you are a genius! My quicktime files have no extensions.. If I add .mov to the file name they import without the broken link symbol! Thanks

I think you are saying to make the moho animation.. export to minidv settings no compression quicktime.. and then use fcp the way i usually do and composite the moho animation into it? I'll have to experiment with different settings and try it, but what if I want to take a video I already exported a...

when i import pictures.. i convert them to png format using photoshop.. should I do something similar to my quicktime files before importing? is there a way to tell what codec has been used? Can I use FCP to convert to another codec? All my videos are intended to be saved onto mini dv tape and proje...

I use the preset dv ntsc48khz superwhite sequence preset 16 bit for dv..
its been a while since I played with the settings and cant recall where it tells me the codec on FCP.. Can I tell this info by looking at one of my quicktime files?

I use final cut pro (mac) for my video editing and all my movie clips are quicktime files. When I try to import a movie into an image layer, all I see is the image symbol, but no movie shows. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
