Moving Bars and Camera

I've been a graphic designer for years, but I'm just getting into motion graphics. I want to make a short video bumber with multiple bars moving through 3D space, very similar to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOa2iylnHtA
I have read the now archived post with a similar question (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2548415&tstart=225) but didn't really get anything from it.
How would I go about doing this?

Your best option is to make several lines. One for each leg of the animation. Lines and Paint Strokes are 2D elements which means they only have X and Y position for their control points.
I've done a design very close to this and that's how it was accomplished. You can create one line, adjust it's anchor point to one end and then duplicate it and arrange it in 3D space so that it appears to be on solid line. The animation can be achieved with a Shape/Write On behavior for each line. The camera animation can be done with a Move, Motion Path behavior or just keyframes if you prefer.

  • Stuck on moving bar and black screen?

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 Series. Windows Vista. My laptop was working perfectly fine last night and when I woke up this morning, I turned it on and it was stuck on the Windows Corporation where the green bar is moving from left to right. I tried doing pressing F8 for safe mode and it went pass through the moving bar but then the screen turned black and all I can move is the cursor. I left it there for good hours just to see if it'll work but it stayed like that. I also tried start up repair and it said if the start up repair fixed the problem, windows should start normally. Then I clicked finish, but it still did the same, still stuck on the moving bar. It showed me a code 0x0 after the start up repair if that will help?
    Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Hey Gurus I've just shot a seminar, three cameras, Cannon's reasonably new XA20HD's. File format 1920X1080 MP4 17mbs 25 frames. Am running PremProCS6. I import the files into Prem, they come in ok but will not display. Got a yellow bar and a yellow Media Pending screen. What the? Have to cut this stuff soon! Wont even import into Media Encoder. Says there are no usable streams in the media! Just saw a podcast title about stress in the editing business. Better listen to the one! Any help would be most appreciated. J.

    Copy ALL contents of SD card to a folder on edit hard drive. not just video clips, everything. Then in Premiere, import using Media Browser (tab at lower left of Premiere screen). This usually does the trick. There is metadata contained in the SD card files that is needed, not just the video clips alone.
    Thanks

  • Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than when I moved here in February 2013?  I only get one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.

    Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than it was when I moved here in February 2013?  I get only one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.  Calling to ask the question results in a vortex of questions that have little to do with the problem and no  resolution or answer.

    I have a Droid Ultra phone.  The signal reduction seems to only be in the general area of my home.  If I go downtown, the signal improves to what it once was at home.  Everything at my home is as it was when the signal was good, including cable TV service.  There has been no new construction in the area that I know of.
    Thanks for trying to resolve the issue.  Just this morning while trying to view web pages, I found that I could not load any.

  • The mozilla firefox browser vertical slide bar is moving up and down automatically?

    The mozilla firefox browser vertical slide bar is moving up and down automatically. This is happening when i am browsing internet?

    Hello,
    You said you have disabled all add-ons and plug-ins. This may be a repeat exercise but can you please test for the problem when Firefox is in safe mode. This disables plug-ins as well but also applies various other changes. See here for details:
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If the problem still appears in Safe Mode then it may be that there is still some part of Hola that is causing the problem. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    If none of that works then I suggest resetting Firefox. This will return Firefox to its default state but will keep your personal data, bookmarks etc. See here for instructions:
    [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    I hope that helps.

  • Scan scan bar on the printer is continuously moving back and forth.

    The printer is connected via USB to a computer using Vista and also used remotely by a MAC, IPad, and IPhones. 
    The scan bar on the printer is continuously moving back and forth, I ran the HP Print Scan Doctor and it found no problem. 
    I can print, copy, and scan but the motion of this piece on the device will not stop. 
    No change to the issue occurred when I turned the printer off, waited several hours, and turned it back on. 

    Hi @GGx3,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that the scan bar on your HP Officejet pro 6830 printer is continuously moving back and forth. I am happy to look into this scanning issue for you!
    First, I would recommend a hard reset, by going to this post, How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. it is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. Please, see this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector for more information. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    After the hard reset, I would go through this guide, The HP Printer Does Not Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed, and watch this video:
    (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help.)
    The last step I would do is to also make sure your printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting Printer Updates for HP Officejet 6810 and Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer Series.
    Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!

  • Title Bar stuck under the Menu bar and I cannot select and move it.

    I often arrange windows around the desktop and sometimes I inadvertently push a window up too far and the title bar gets under the menu bar. Once I let go of the arrow, the title bar is too far under the menu bar and I can no longer reach it to move it down. The only solution is to close out the program and start over. Is there a way unbeknownst to me to select the title bar again and move it?
    Sharon

    My E*Trade streaming watch list was stuck under the Menu Bar also. I tried reseting the screen resolution down to 1280 x 1024, and restarting the MarketTrader. There on the display was the stuck window, out from under. I resized and moved it to a central location, and resized the display back to my normal 1920 setting. And to my relief, the window Bar! Thanks Discussion!

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

  • Mic and Cam won't work on iChat

    Hello
    I have a new mac pro, so I am a beginner! However, I know that the cam is working and that there is a function mic because when I can see it on My Display iSight. I see me, and I see the audio. But on iChat the camera and phone icons are not green and I cannot use them.
    Moreoever, in google talk I do have a camera icon, but when I try and call people on google talk they cannot hear me! I can't find anything about the mic anywhere.
    Please, anything you can do to help would be awesome.

    Hi Cathjoy,
    IF in System Preferences > Sound you can see the Sound Blue Bar in the Input Tab move at least half way (preferably 3/4) - then you need to check ichat in a couple/three of places.
    1) In the View Menu of iChat make sure "Show Video Status" (And Audio) is selected (Ticked). (this shows the green Audio and Video Icons)
    2) In the Video Menu of iChat again both Mic and Camera Enabled item should have a tick next to it (Selecting toggles it On or Off)
    3) In the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section there should be a Microphone drop down and your choice here should match the one in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab and you should see the Green bar here move when you talk.
    When doing 1) make sure the correct Buddy List is the "Front" Window (Your own icon may still display as a Video one if another Buddy List is set to Video in iChat 4 and iChat 5)

  • HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

    Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

  • I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

    I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
    Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
    The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
    I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem.  I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
    I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time.  I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
    Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
    You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    Right click and select "End Process Tree"
    You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
    If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
    CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Right-click to "End Process"
    No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
    Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

  • My grandkids have moved away and I would like to see them by video but she has a Ipad and I don't know what to download to be able to see them.  Help, I miss them so much.

    My grandaughter has an IPAD and I have a Toshiba computer with Windows 7.  My grandkids have moved away and I want to be able to see them by video but my daughter says that I have to download Apple and get facetime?  I'm not real computer savvy but I desperately want to see my grandkids. Could you help me please?
    Thanks
    Rita

    Good morning.
    FaceTime will not work on a Windows computer.  But, I believe that SKYPE has an application that will run on the iPad.  So, if you go to SKYPE.com you can see their offerings.  You will need to create an account (there may be a fee) and you will need a web camera for your Toshiba ( a Logitech 5500 comes to mind, assuming it does not have one built in already).
    Your grandkids will also need to set up a SKYPE account.  After that, you should be able to video chat to your heart's content.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Satellite A215-S4757: screen started shaking, moving up and down

    I purchased my laptop about a year and a half ago and had no major problems till this week.
    It began a couple of days ago when the image on the screen started shaking, moving up and down and lines started appearing on the screen and going away. I restarted the computer but the screen did not want to power on. After a few tries it eventually came and worked fine for a while before it began doing the same thing again. This happened a few times until yesterday when no matter how many times i tried it did not come on.
    I do not think the problem is only with the screen because I have the laptop connected to my TV through the VGA cable and the image on there did the same thing once as well. Also even though the laptop powers up and the power light lights up, the words SATELLITE do not light up unless the screen comes on.
    Also the CAPS LOCK key has a light on it that should be lighting up(when pressed) as well if everything is working fine and it does not light up either.
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
    Thank you.

    You make a good point but I had a notebook from an other manufacture before this laptop and I kept it going for over a year with several problems, each by itself bad enough to stop it from running. I am not saying I have any kind of skill or expertise but with some advice and assistance I think I can fix this myself. I have read some things online that point to the inverter and I have also found instructions on how to take the laptop apart. I wouldn't be so set against going to the ASP if there were any within 100 miles of me but there aren't. For now I'll have to keep looking.

  • Tool bar, and everything else is gone, how do i get it back?

    When i open illustrator the tool bar and everything else is gone, only the top menu is still there, i tried to activate tool bar under window menu, but that option is also gone.
    I tried to use tab key, but it does not work either.
    Anyone knows what to do?

    Now what I told you is so, this is what is causing this and you will either make the effort to understand or you will not solve the problem.
    You did try to make an alias and you goofed up, that is correct you made mistake, this is user error.
    That is the first thing you have to accept if you cannot so be it, but I will never try to assist you again.
    This is the problem I can easily reproduce as I know what you did.
    Here take a look, does this look familiar.
    Does the icon on the left look familiar?
    That is the application outside of the Adobe Illustrator folder.
    That's correct you moved it either on purpose or by mistake outside of the folder
    and that is why the two of you do not have menu items and tools.
    Now the way to fix this is the way I wrote before and this is user error.
    And I have met other users on the forum who could not admit they made a mistake before as well.
    I am writing this actually for users who really want help and have no problems admitting the did something in error.
    I have nothing else to say about this
