How to gradually adjust Brightness Filter?

I'm trying to get a group of objects to darken when they pass a certain part of the sun, but I can't adjust a fade in with the brightness filter. How can I have a nice transition between the original brightness and the altered one?

Move the playhead to the frame you want the brightness to start decreasing.
In the Filters inspector (with the object of filter selected) click where you see the yellow "diamond" shape (that will set the first keyframe.) (When you mouse over that parameter, you'll see a light gray version of the icon appear -- and once you set one keyframe, then some variation of that icon will persist there; if it's gray, there's no keyframe at that time -- the < and > marks appear when there are set keyframes before and/or after the current time -- you can click on them to advance the playhead to the exact time of the previous/next set keyframe.)
Move the playhead to the end of the brightness range and drag the slider to zero.
Assuming you want the "other side" of the orbit to go back to the original brightness, move the playhead forward to the point where you want the maximum brightness restored and move the brightness slider back up to the setting you require.
Notice you only had to "set" the first keyframe. Motion automatically tracks changes on parameters with any keyframe on it and will automatically apply a new keyframe at the playhead time position IF you change the value of the parameter.

  • How to precisely adjust brightness under Lion

    Hi,
    working with a Mid 2010 IMac and the Apple Wireless Keyboard it is obvious that brightness may be controlled by pressing both the "fn" key and the respective keys F1 or F2.
    Under Snow Leopard I created a list of useful shortcuts to get familiar with the various extra functions. One of them was to press ALT + Shift + fn+F1/F2 to be able to adjust brightness in finer steps than with the a.m. regular tune. The background of my question is the adjustment of brightness in context with a monitor calibration using a colorimeter.
    This ALT+Shift method doesn't seem to work since I upgraded to Lion (10.7.3). Any ideas or proposals are appreciated.

    Right. Attempting to install or boot a version of OS X earlier than the one installed on the Mac when it was built is likely to fail: Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac
    The reason is that new Mac hardware requires new drivers that may not exist on previous versions of OS X.
    If it shipped with Lion it might be able to boot Snow Leopard, since there was a period of time in 2011 in which computers produced with Snow Leopard were later shipped with Lion, while the hardware remained unchanged. This will work only if you did not update the Mac's firmware though.

  • How do I adjust brightness in Windows 7 on my 27" iMac?

    After installing all of the Boot Camp support files, I still can't adjust the brightness of my screen when I boot in to Windows 7 Ultimate.  The keyboard seems to work when I try to adjust the brightness, since the adjustment indicator (icons that look like a sun) comes up on screen.
    Is this an installation issue?

    Found the solution!
    Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings > slide control to 'Never notify' > Reboot.
    Problem solved.

  • How to do BrIghtness filter?

    I see the filter panel but how can I apply brightness filter to my symbol?

    You will not able to animate this filter value on  the timeline,but you can code it.Below the the snippet which does that for you
    var mySymbolInstance = sym.$("mySymbolInstance");
    $({brightness: 1}).animate({brightness: 0}, {
            duration: 500,
            easing: 'linear',
            step: function() {
                mySymbolInstance.css({
                    "-webkit-filter": "brightness("+this.brightness+")",
                     "filter": "brightness("+this.brightness+")"

  • Can't slice gradient with adjusted bright/contrast filter

    I was playing around with gradients, and finally came up with something I wanted to try on my site. I'm taking a shade of yellow (#CC9933), then adjusting the colors with a brightness/contrast filter (brightness -81, contrast -8). But when I try to export a slice of the image, or just copy it to another Fireworks file for export, I am getting the original, bright yellow gradient, not the darker gradient with the adjusted brightness/contrast settings. What am I doing wrong?
    I've attached a copy of the image I'm working with. It shows both the image with the adjusted colored gradient I want, and (to the right) how the slices are looking like.
    Thanks much to anyone who can help

    Thank you, Jim. I don't know what I was doing last night. Everytime I tried to export or copy from
    the darker image, I'd get the lighter one in Dreamweaver. I just tried it after reading your posting, and it works fine now. I think the lesson for me is, don't work at 3:30 am.
    Can you recommend which format (jpeg or png24) I should export as? The darker image, that is. I don't want the lighter one.
    Thanks again.

  • Video picture bright green and pink, how do I adjust colour?

    how do I adjust colour / brightness of my video picture

    Thank you Russ, this certainly helps me out a little bit.  It's not made very clear in other places I've seen that you have to click on the keyframe in the middle of the picture.  Throughout most of yesterday I was clicking on the keyframe in the upper right corner and nothing was happening.  But this all still feels kinda limited however especially compared with what I could do in FCP7.  Is this all FCPX has to offer?  Perhaps I don't understand how this works?
    When I click on the keyframe, I get only two choices, linear or smooth.  Yet, the still image still does this ease in and out thing.  How can I adjust that?  Aslo, how can I make constant movement? If I want it to go from picture to picture with constant movement, never starting and stopping, how do I make that happen?

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum but I still have FCE 1 and shot some footage that's a little bit over exposed. I would like to know if there's a brightness setting like photoshop that I can use to adjust it to make it darker?

    Use the Brightness filter in Video Effects.

  • How do you adjust the brightness on a Thunderbolt Display

    How do you adjust the brightness of a Thunderbolt Display attached to an iMac ?

    I had this peculiar ‘issue’ hooking up to my MacBook Retina when my Thunderbolt Display was delivered but Applecare  - thanks Andrew - got me there. It seems daft!
    The Thunderbolt Display Brightness slider IS there – you just have to know how to make it show up.
    At initial set-up of the Thunderbolt Display [or if the Brightness slider is ever not visible in the System Preferences> Thunderbolt Display window], so long as the Thunderbolt [external] Display and the Macbook Display are ‘mirrored’ I can control the Thunderbolt [external] Display via my MacBook Retina Brightness keys [F1 & F2] – or by the Brightness slider that THEN appears in my System Preferences>Thunderbolt Display window. Once set up the Thunderbolt Display System Preferences Window continues to show the Brightness slider but I occasionally lose it if my MacBook has been disconnected from the Thunderbolt Display for some time – and I then have to start over.
    So:-
    Apple menu >
    System Preferences>
    Displays>
    Click Arrangement [at the top]
    Click Mirror Displays [at the lower left]
    That then gives me-at-least a Brightness slider on the System Preferences> Thunderbolt Display window [as well as on the Built In Retina Display window] and I can then adjust them independently.
    Oddly, having set this up just once the Brightness slider then remains on my Thurnderbolt Display and I can control it [and my MacBook Retina Display independently]. Occasionally I lose it again and have to start over.
    Hope this works for others.

  • How can I adjust the brightness of my old Apple 24" LED Display?

    How can I adjust the brightness of my old Apple 24" LED Display?

    Jacob,
    Thank you for the quick response. I opened both the TIFF and the EPS in Illustrator. I used the Eyedropper tool to get the CMYK values of the color of the text part in the TIFF, then I went back to the EPS and selected the text and input the CMYK values in the color tab. I know it's not precise, but it's close enough. Could I have done this better?
    Yes, I have access to Photoshop but I haven't tried using it with vector files. I am really new to graphic design and I need all the help I can get. Thank you!

  • My display is dull, how do I adjust the brightness?

    I have an iMac, the screen has gone quite dark (as if in sleep mode)  I have to sit in a darkened room to see it properly. Have I hit the wrong key or key combination of keys? How do I adjust the brightness? Help

    If you are still on 10.4.11 (stongly doubt it) you probably have wired keyboard, the F3 key is for brightness. Also check System Preferences - Universal Access - Seeing and check there too.

  • How do I turn off "Automatically adjust brightness" on Mountain Lion using AppleScript

    I'm new to Mac, Applescript and Automator and I'm trying to make a automation for when I perform on stage and found a script to set the brightness all the way up but can't find a script to disable "Automatically adjust brightness". Any help would be appreicated.

    You could even both “set the brightness all the way up” and “disable Automatically adjust brightness” with just one and the same script:
    tell application "System Preferences"
        -- launch
        -- activate
        set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.displays"
        reveal anchor "displaysDisplayTab" of current pane
        tell application "System Events"
            tell process "System Preferences"
                tell group 1 of tab group 1 of window 1
                    set value of slider 1 to 1.0 -- max
                    tell checkbox 1
                        if value is 1 then click
                    end tell
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell

  • Brightness Filter effecting quality and color.

    Hi, Guys.
    I could really do with your help.
    I shot a scene in low light conditions so the image is fairly grainy anyway (I shot the scene on an Sony PMW EX3).
    Some of the shots are a little bright though. I want to darken the image slightly but when I do this, using the brightness filter, it makes the whole image ridiculously grainy (blocky) and it also changes the colors to like a greeny color.
    Does anyone know what I mean and does anyone know how I could adjust the brightness without increasing the size of the grain (without losing quality and color).
    Cheers guys.
    H

    Yes Tom, the reverse ... but steady as she goes going in the opposite direction. You might want to explore some possible denoise options too if the grain is really too distracting.
    Take a look at Mattias Sandström's Smart Noise Reduction filter which is part of his completely free and completely awesome Too Much Too Soon filter set: http://www.mattias.nu/plugins/
    On the commercial side there is the highly recommended Neat Video plugin: http://www.neatvideo.com
    Or ReVision Fx's aptly named DE Noise plugin: http://www.revisionfx.com/products/denoise/
