3D text bend

I'm trying to get an arch effect with a title in final cut. I have tried in LiveType but can't get it to bend, it won't bend in Final Cut either, any suggestions?

Both Livetype and Motion can place text on a curved path. Can't remember the details but it's in the manuals.

Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

Possible to bend a text line?

Hi! Is there a way to animate a bend of a text line? I have tried a bunch of distortion tools in AE but non work like I want to. I suspect that this could be done with some sort of type on path and the animate the path. Any example would be great pointing me in the right direction.
Regards / Jimmy

Remember my first post. Make your text layer, draw a mask, set some keyframes, attach the text to the path.
Here's two screenshots. Took longer to figure out how to spell your text than to do the animation.
You should be able to figure it out. I actually created a circular mask first, selected 2 points, then selected open in the mask options (right click the mask in the timeline) then deleted one other point to give me a perfect semi circle. I then set a keyframe, moved to a spot earlier in the timeline and edited the curve to form a straight line with 3 points.
Hope this helps.

Warp text in flash such as arcing or bending

is there any way to warp text in flash such as arcing or
bending

yes, but it's not easy and definitely not a beginning a.s.
project. you can distribute your text into different textfields
that you arrange in an arc or you can use the bitmapdata class and
its displacementmap filter.

How can I get my text into a wedge shape (without losing quality)?

I'm using PS CS3... So the effect I'm going for is like what you would get if you had an image, and you do Edit > Transform > Distorted it, moving the lower right corner towards the center. The problem is that Distort is not an option for text layers . I tried making my text layer into an image layer and distorting it, but this method make my letters look pixelated. The closest I've got is to do Layer > Type > Warp Text with zero Bend and a negative Horizontal Distortion... But doing that makes both the top AND bottom of my text taper inward. I only want the BOTTOM part of the text to slope. Please help!

One could convert the Text to a Smart Object and then apply the Distortion or Warp.
If the result appears pixelated one could open the SO and increase the resolution, which should alleviate the problem somewhat.
Edit: In CS3 the perspectival transformation for SOs is not directly available, but can be simulated with Warp.
A further option would be creating a Layer with a Vector Mask from the Text (Layers – Type – Convert to Shape; best done on a duplicate of the original text layer) and transform that; this would maintain sharp edges at the price of losing text-editability.

How do I bend an image along a specific curve?

I'm trying to bend a set of panoramic photos around a circle. Most of the discussions I see in this forum are about doing this with text using the Type on a path tool. I'd like to achieve the essentially same thing with a photograph. The warp tool in photoshop seems much too clumsy for my needs. Here is an example of the layout i'm talking about, with black boxes instead of images. Thanks in advance.

If you have the latest CC version, you can create a pixel-based art brush. Otehrwise creating a conventional envelope warp would be an option.

How can I make a gradient like this? (Edge between colors is hard, and bends)

I'm using Illustrator CS5
Looking to make a gradient similar to the one in the "BubbleBoddy" font here -
What's the smartest way to go about doing this? I have a basic understanding of gradients, but I have no idea how to get the gradient line to bend like that, or how to get such a "hard edge" between the light and dark pink.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

draw a curve, copy it, colour it, blend 'em (alt + ctrl + B or Object > Blend > Make
then use your text as a mask.

How can I make my text in a circle?

I am designing some new biz cards, and I saw some that were a circle and SUPER cute. I'd like to create my own.
How do I create my text in a circle? I'd like to have some info in the middle of the circle, and some actually bending around the circle.
I am of course using Pages.

Pages doesn't have any built-in feature for circular text.
Either you start with Art Text 2, a separate application or you do it manually. Here is how http://i-work-in-pages.blogspot.com/2010/03/curving-text-in-pages-suggestion.htm l

Pages pdf doesn´t print text and effects

hello,
I have generated a pdf from my pages document, which looks fine on the screen (also in acrobat). sadly its not possible to print out the pdf properly, the complete text is missing, only the header and the images without effects show up on paper, though acrobat tells me that the fonts are embedded.

Go to this link: http://ccweb.co.fort-bend.tx.us/imgcache/opr1222653-1-2.pdf
It is a public document at the county clerk's office.
I noticed that if I download it in Firefox there is not scaling problem. Also, Firefox is set to automatically download the file to my computer. When using Safari, the pdf is viewing from within Safari. If you try to print from this view, you'll notice the preview is scaled wrong. Also, if you download to pdf in the print menu, the pdf will exhibit the same scaling problem, but if you download the pdf using save as, it scales correctly. Is this a Safari bug?

Edit Text In A MovieClip

I have made 4 movie clips/instances of text for my buttons. I
am having trouble finding how I can change the word/text. I can go
from Scene > Movie Clip> Text but then Im at a loss for
editing the actual word.
Also can I change the color of the text while I am there?
A little help plz? Thanks

I have two different movie clips:
On one Im successful at changing the text:
Double Click on the MovieClip from the Library, I double
click on this and Im taken to a tween image with the Text
Properties box opened down below. Color, size, etc., no problems.
On a different MovieClip I follow the same steps. The only
difference is when I double click on the MovieClip I never see the
same tween/graphic symbol. And the Text properties box doesnt open.
If I double click again on the blue box it goes to another layer
HOWEVER the selection tool turns on and I can only grab/modify/bend
the text...does that make sense?
Thanks for the reply and any assistance

Twisting a Layer, Vector Layer and/or Text Layer?

Hello everyone,
I'm stuck and could use a hand.
Here at work, I have the entire CS5 Master Suite at my disposal.
Although I'm familiar with the Adobe Suite, I'm having a hard time figuring out the best/most efficient way to do this effect:
Now, my boss would like concept designs of our logo (let's say it reads "That One Guy") on our white mannequin,
which we use to shoot articles of clothing.
I would like to show her a design with many instances of the "That One Guy" logo twisted/wrapped (like as if I wrapped a string around my finger or curled a balloon string) atop the mannequin's head to create like an afro or long dreads look.
The layer doesn't have to have any extrusion/3D.
I mean... it CAN, but if it's just flat AND is twisting/wrapping... that's cool too.
I would like to be able to twist the layer, and then bend it so it looks like it's actually hanging off the mannequins head.
Here's an example. Not much bend on each of her strands, but you get the idea: http://www.probeauty-supply.com/images/Afro-Curl_1b-330076.jpg
What program would allow me to accomplish this best?
Photoshop? Illustrator?
Any help would be highly appreciated and would serve me well in the future =)
Thanks, everyone.

You can do this type of manipulation in Illustrator. You have to do four things: 1) create your artwork, in this case your text "That One Guy" 2) Change your art work into a symbol 3) Create a 3D shape, say a cylinder at some angle, onto which you will map your artwork (now a symbol) and 4) hide the 3D shape.
A couple of comments: If you are new to Illustrator you probably do not want to do this as your first project. While the steps are few you have to know your way around Illustrator to get it done in a reasonable time and have it look right. Even if you managed to do it I suspect that a small number of letters wrapped around something is going to be very difficult to read/recognize. You might try sketching your idea out on paper (TO SCALE) along with the mannequin to see if the notion still feels good to you and the boss before investing a lot of time at the computer.
An alternative that you might consider that can be done in Photoshop is to create a series of curly paths ( like hair or rising smoke) and use the type on a path tool to make the text follow those paths. Here also you probably would want to use say a continuously repeating version of your logo text instead of just the three words. The work for this approach is significantly less and is easier than what you asked for and should be much more readable.
Good luck,
Paulo

Splitting up text at line breaks into separate text objects

creating a map with many text objects each containing one village name etc. or sth similar it would be nice if we could
- type all names with enter/linebreaks
- and then choose something like 'create separate text objects for each text line'
I know I could convert the start text into outlines and then individually placing/moving them, but I still want to be able to edit all texts in one go (e.g. changing font size, colour, etc.)

Beate,
Since you mentioned a map, you can also do it this way:
1. Count the paragraphs in your text.
2. Select the text object containing the lines of text. Copy or Cut it to the Clipboard.
3. LineTool: Draw a horizontal line.
4. AltShiftDrag a copy of the line downward. Transform Again (Ctrl D) until you have as many lines as you had paragraphs.
5. Text tool: Hover over the topmost line. Click when you see the Type On A Path cursor. Paste.
6. Drag a selection marquee across all the lines. Type>ThreadedText>Create.
7. Type>ThreadedText>RemoveThreading.
Now you have a bunch of indiviudal text objects, but they are already Type On A Path objects; so you can drag them into position on your map, and then directselect their paths to edit their shapes (assuming you want pathType objects to bend along roads, etc.)
