Can't enable onion skin in animation timeline modus.

I'm trying to animate using photoshop CS6 on a windows computer. I want to use frame by frame animation, with onion skin, so i do not have to creat a new layer for every frame. THe only problem is the 'enable onion skin' option keeps dissapearing. I can enable in in video mode (in the timeline) but then when i switch to frame-by-frame animation mode (in my timeline) it's gone. Thanks for the Help. -S

Branch Aware was the problem. Thanks for your help.

This means probably that either you included Pretest slides or you checked Branch aware. In both cases, Skin is automatically disabled,

Why is it not possible to assign a hotkey to onion skinning? (For toggling on/off)

In Flash CS6 when animating frame-by-frame by hand, I'm constantly toggling onion skinning on and off, and the same with the "loop" button right next to it for looping a certain range of frames. Neither of these appears to be assignable to a hotkey, meaning I need to take the mouse/pen away from the drawing and hit these buttons several times a minute, really putting a damper on the workflow.
Might we be able to get this in the next patch? It seems like a no-brainer, especially for a program that many people use for hand-drawn animation projects.

Hi Steve -
Thanks for the info. I have a few more questions...
Andy,
Yes, this is exactly the issue. Currently I am
invoking the UIX servlet not as a registered portlet
but as a hard-coded URL link on the portal page.Are you saying that in order to access the UIX application, the user clicks on a link which navigates out of Portal? If so, is this by design, or did you go this route because of problems creating a portlet for your UIX servlet? That is, would you prefer to have your UIX application run inside of Portal as a portlet, or do you explicitly not want this?
Also, can you provide more background about your deployment environment? In particular, is the UIX application running locally on the same machine as Portal, or remotely on another machine? Is the UIX application running in the same application server/servlet engine as Portal?
The application runs connected to the database but
without the context of the SSO Portal user. I want to
be able to display the Portal username on the uix
pages, have the VPD context in the database
connection (we have striped the tables but it only
works if connected via Portal!!) and potentially have
access to some of the extended Portal functionality
in the JPDK (this last one a "nice to have").Unfortunately I have no idea whether this is possible, so I'm not going to be much help on my own. The best I can do is try to track down someone who can actually speak to this issue. However, given the lack of documentation and the fact that you weren't able to get a solution through support, I wouldn't be suprised to find that this type of integration simply isn't supported yet.
I think you mentioned in the TAR that you had seen support for similar integration with Struts. If you know of documentation which shows how to do this type of thing with Struts, could you point me at it?

Onion skinning function disappear after rendering video. why?

how can I save my animation file including the Onion skinning effect. I try to save my animation several times using different saving formats but the result was always the same: (the onion skinning effect is not include).
I also would like to apply onion skinning command to a part of the animation and not for all the duration of time, the command apply to all duration of animation which is so limited. Is there a way to apply only for a apart which can be time or a level. Thanks
Please give me your answer because I really need it.

Onion skin is an aid while you work on a project so that you have a sense of where you are in the fourth dimension. It is not intended to be rendered.
Most video editors offer an effect where 'motion trails.' Photoshop is not a video editor.

CS4 - Unwanted ghosting effect showing up in all videos - Similiar to an onion skin

I'm having some sort of weird ghosting effect on all my videos in Premiere Pro CS4. It's similiar to an onion skin that shows the previous frame. It shows in the timeline preview and when I render out the video. I've never had this problem before until just a few days ago. It even shows up in old premiere files that I made weeks ago that didn't have this problem at the time. I've even tried working on a different computer using a different Premier CS4 and had the same problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this or have I gone crazy?

The videos are 30fps and so is the project.
Are you sure of that? That's definitely frame blending, which occurs in two instances: when a clip has been explicitly time-altered (e.g. from 100% to 33.33%), or when a clip's frame rate does not match your sequence frame rate. For instance, your clips might actually be 30fps, but your sequence is probably 29.97fps--a minor difference, but enough to cause the problem you're seeing.
Confirm the true frame rate of each of these, and if they're different, you can put the clips in the correct sequence, or you can interpret your clips to match the sequence--a change of 30 to 29.97fps is not going to cause any weird slow downs.

Why does my drawing tool go see through in onion skin mode?

I'm using CS6 photoshop as an animation software and I'm new to the process. When I try to draw on the next frame, the paintbrush draws in a see through colour.... as if the drawing tool itself has an onion skin.

Thanks for the response Rudegar, but I was under the impression that this could work (as explained to me by a Apple sales guy) when I bought the AirPort Express. (and yes I told him I had a Samsung laser printer ML-1915)
Is the AirPlay printer requirement only an issue when the AirPort Express is in server mode?
I thought I could just extend my network in Client mode from the AirPort Express.
So when it talks here about a "wireless print server" it is only referring to either a): ipad to AirPrint printers or b): Windows to any printer?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2272
Is Apple going to support more printers anytime soon? Because I am happy that my 3 Windows laptops/PC can print wirelessly through Apple gear but kinda confused why my ipad will not play nicely.

Change onion skin color

Good day !
Not so long ago tryed to make animation but found it difficult to work with cause of same onion skin colors.
I mean i do not like when two onion skins are of the same colors.
How may i change onion skin color for previous frame to, for example, blue and for next frame to red ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You will not be able to change the color of the onion skin as it represents actual objects across the selected range of frames. You may want to use Onion Skin Outlines which uses Layer Color and you can change the layer color via Layer Properties dialog. However the onion skins across frames of a given layer will have a same color.
Thanks!

Can armatures be made into nested animation (symbol/movies)?

1) Can armatures be made into nested animation (symbol/movies)?
I made a dragon character and animated the body with the amature(bone tool) in flash cs5. I was having trouble trying get it to become a nested animation and make it into a symbol/movie. I heard you are suppose to select all the animated frames using EDIT> TIMELINE>COPY FRAMES, then pasting the animated frames into new symbol/movie. I have no luck with that, the menu becomes dimmed out from copying the frame...I'm not sure if nesting animations with amatures is possible? Any ideas? Thanks.
I was planning to get the body into nested animation, then attached seperate movie with flagging wings along a guide path.
2) Second question. I don't know why flash cs5 is exporting it's animation a lot differently from gif to swf. In the gif format it doesn't show the nest animation. Here's an example. The wings on the dragon animate fine in swf format but when converted to gif. The wings don't move.

It's very interesting -- there's some bug in the file -- even if some layers are not visible, when I double-click the text layer you are supposed to edit (the Symbol), other layers with text start to appear...
Not sure what's causing this. I would suggest to log a bug here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
...explain the steps and attache the PNG.
And if you break the Symbol apart (select it > Modify > Symbol > Break apart) and then try to edit the text, all works normally as expected. Use this as a workaround -- I don't have a better suggestion for now...
I have made the tests with Fw CS5...

Photoshop CC 2014 3D positioning in video animation timeline

I'm a mac user and experimenting with the 3D and video timeline features. All I am trying to do is make a small custom shaped logo spin in place although it starts to spin around an axis that is off camera. My instructor at school did the exact same process that I've been doing on her computer, and it worked flawlessly which leads me to believe there is a snap, pin, or setting that my computer has turned on/off. I have found the 'Edit Pins' option in the View tab but I have not been able to select it as it is grayed out. Is that where the answer to my problem is? If not then where? The object that i am trying to rotate in this situation will move from the origin point whenever i try to apply a transformation of any kind, such as rotating, scaling, and moving.
There is a similar problem that i have found on this forum, Photoshop CC 2014: 3D Scene Position Missing - Video Animation Timeline is the title of it although it has not been answered. This question was posted about the same time of my problems started as well. After a good amount of hours I haven't found anything close to an answer.

I don't do 3D animations, but Seb Zaremba said it worked in the former Photoshop CC. You can have both version installed on your computer. Go to the Creative Cloud app and Apps>Filter & version>previous versions. There you will find the installer for CC (2013). Give it a try.
Also, you might consider reporting a bug over at feedback.photoshop.com

Photoshop CC 2014: 3D Scene Position Missing - Video Animation Timeline

The 3D Scene Position line in the video animation timeline - missing in 2014.2.1 (CC 2014 up-to-date) ... I have tried all the posted work arounds; using 3D Meshes but the movement from center problem is still present... the answer provided in other posts about this being moved to the Scene group is entirely unhelpful. The 3D Camera post saying it was just renamed is not correct this does not rotate the object. What is the answer or the problem, is there a solution within Photoshop CC?

Blurred preview image when dragging playhead in Animation Timeline

Hi,
when I move the playhead (of the Animation Timeline) by hand back and forth, the image get's blurred untill I stop dragging. This is really annoying since I need to draw and animate some small shapes in pixel perfect manner and can't see the difference between the frames because of the blurred image.
It is not blurred when I use the "Go to Next Frame" buttons in the timeline window, but this is cumbersome as I have to quickly compare frames by going back and forth.
I understand that PS probably gives me a compressed version of the images so it can actually play the animation fast, but I am talking about a hand full of frames in low resolution (1000x1000) on a Macbook Pro Retina with 16 GB RAM!
My Performance setting are all up (90% RAM allocated to PS, enough free space on my SSD Hard Drive). I also tried different settings for the History and Cache.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Marek

OK, I found out the reason I wasn't hearing the sound when dragging the playhead was due to the fact that in the properties for the sound I had the Sync set
to Event, but I needed to set it to Stream. Then it works fine!

Access Edge animation timeline in iframe

I'm sure there's a way to do this easily, but I'm new to javascript. How can I access the animation timeline inside an iFrame? For example, if I want a button on a page to play the timeline from a label in an Edge animation in an iframe.
Any ideas?

Here is a example .Click the button to play movie in iframe
In this I get access to composition using the iframe's contentwindow api and call play movie.

CS5 Animation Timeline problems (display/graphics glitches)

In CS5 12.0.5 x64 I use the Animation Timeline to create frame by frame animations and most of the time it works fine. However recently I am encountering a problem with the display. The problems seem to happen whenever I make a selection with the lasso and do a Free Transform (it especially doesn't like rotations). The 'marching ants' along with the entire display seems to freeze up and not respond. Clicking other layers will not change the 'frozen' image until I make a stroke with the tablet or mouse, then the image refreshes to the new selected layer, but stays frozen in the same way, and so on. The animation in the timeline will not playback through the frames/layers once this happens and I have to restart the program. Then the bug happens again as soon as I make another free transform. It doesn't seem to affect all my files, only certain ones where I use the Animation Timeline.
I have an i7 processor with 12gb of ram and an EVGA Geforce GTX 560 Ti with the latest drivers. I have OpenGL turned off and have deleted my preferences.
Here are my performance settings (this may be the problem?):
I Let Photoshop Use 6319 MB (58%)
My History States are 65
Cache Levels are 4
Cache Tile Size is 128K
Scratch Disk is just C:\

It kind of sounds like a memory or video driver issue. What resolution is your document set at?
Mylenium is correct. When creating frame based animation each frame is linked to a layer. So to animate the motion of the selected portion it needs to be on new layers as it moves (each time you rotate or move, create a new layer. The smaller the increment the more layers needed, but will produce a smoother longer animation). The stationary portion(s) don't need to be on new layers because they are not moving and can be seen due to the transparent areas around the selection.
I hope that makes sense.

Onion Skinning in AE CS5 with brush tool???

Hey everyone! Hope you'll all doing well. I'm just trying to see if there's any type of "onion skinning" option in CS5? I can't find it and it would be very helpful. Thanks.

No.
The closest that you get is the overlay when using the Clone Stamp tool.
That said, there are some non-native approaches that people have put together. This search pulls up some.

Rotating in the animation timeline?

Im haveing trouble rotating from a defined achorpoint in the animation timeline. To explain what im talking about imagine a switchblad knife, after i set the keyframe start and end point and use the transformation tool to position it and then click play the knife blade will rotate completely off the handle before ending in its open posistion. I can not find any way to set and anchor point so that the one end of the blade stays attached to the handle and the others ends spins open from that point. Ive tried useing the anchor point in the transformation tool and its spins percectly into place, but then when i play it back the rotate position is gone and both ends are in motion. Help please!

Hmm sorry, I'm not sure I'm getting it totally. Please let me explain exactly what I have.
I have an FLA file, containing one single MovieClip. This MovieClip is called "AppleMC" in my library, and has no linkage name (obviously). In this MovieClip, I have 60 frames in my timeline which contain the various steps of a complete rotation of the apple.
If I load the corresponding SWF file, I can then add it to the stage. But everything I tried to get a definition of the "AppleMC" element, or the whole SWF file as a MovieClip too, I only simply get an empty MovieClip class. I suppose that's why Linkage Names were designed for: defining a class of an object and its contents, not just its type.
If I'm using GetDefinitionByName on an instance of the stage, I only get the type of the object, not its contents. I can't believe nobody had this issue before, because creating multiple instances of an external SWF file on a stage seems pretty common.
It seems a lot of people are missing the duplicateMovieClip() instruction of AS2, and the various solutions I tried didn't work well (some suggest binary duplication of the contents, others are duplicating each member separately...)

Differences between Browserlab ie7 & ie developer tools browsermode: ie7 + onion skin problem

Hi,
I've just noticed display differences between what I see in browserlab for ie7 and what I see using ie9, but in browsermode:ie7. I would have thought they would show the same as both are supposed to represent what the webpage would look like in ie 7. Please can someone explain:
a) why they should be different,
b) which is the correct one.
Basically the Menu is perfect in BLab, but is floated left in browsermode:ie7.
There is nothing out of the ordinary in the code for this page, just html, css, a tiny bit of javascript & some php.
I am using windows 7 on a PC and the problem occurs if I use BLab through Firebug or directly from Dreamweaver.
The url is my old site that I am in the middle of updating, but I still get the same error with the new site that I am testing locally:
http://www.laughingrabbit.co.uk/
Kind regards
I am also having a problem with the onion skin feature, which I had about 2 months ago, but which then went when I deleted the cache and rebooted - no such luck this time.
When I try and show 2 browser views over each other, only one will show when I slide the slider bar making direct comparison impossible - both views stay the same as the one on the left.
eg try http://www.laughingrabbit.co.uk/contact.html The corners of the form should be rounded only in later versions of ie, as it isn't supported in earlier version.
It is the same either through the main BL interface or Dreamweaver.
I have tried closing down BL, deleting cache etc (the usual stuff), but it doesn't make any difference. I work on a PC.
Has anyone else had issue with this and if so, how did you solve it.
AND YES, I AM SLIDING THE SLIDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT and all over, but ti makes no difference
regards
Bek

hi Mark, Here is one example, on my new site. I have used css3 to round the tabs in the navigation which works for FF5, but obviously not for ie7, but no matter how much I slide the slider accross the image (and the tabs) never change. i get the same whenever I try and use onionskin at the moment - the image doesn't change from the one on the left hand side. If I swapped FF5 & ie7 round (as per the image) then the rounded tabs change to square as you would expect in ie7, but don't change to rounded as you slide the slider to the FF5 side.
kind regards
bek
