Anaglyph Animation (frame by frame) does this procedure sound OK?

Hello Everyone,
I want to make 3D animation files, using Adobe toolkit and PSCS3. Does this route sound OK?
Open .ASM file in Adobe toolkit, produce two animated Avi files (left) & (right).
Import .avi (left) into PhotoShop as layers (save layers into folder named left).
Import .avi (right) into PhotoShop as layers (select layers and drag over to my "left" file. save layers into folder named right).
Frame by frame turn on corresponding layers in both left and right folders and convert the two layers as per "making 3d anaglyphs with Photoshop tuts." available on the web. e.g.:
Layer (left) frame 1 of 300
Ctrl L,
Ctrl 2 (green) 255 to 0
Ctrl 3 (blue) 255 to 0
Turn layer to screen
Layer (right) frame 1 of 300
Ctrl L,
Ctrl 1 (red) 255 to 0
Etc.....
Does anyone have an alternative or a different method?

thank you so much for talking to me. I didn't realize
tweening applied to frame by frame animation. So I create a motion
tween btw each key frame?
What I don't understand is: I want to be able to take the
symbol in the last keyframe, drag it away from the rest of the
symbols that are all aligned, and then get them to distribute
automaticaly in their own keyframes. This is really done best
through tweening? I thought this would only worked if all the in
between steps were not keyframes.
When I select all the keyframes at once and tween them they
do not distribute.
But I am probably not doing this right, I don't have time to
experiment right now, I just wanted to say thanks.

What does this procedure actually do

Hi,
This code was copied from the popular HR schema from my Oracle 9i installation.
It says add_job_history, If it populates from somewhere presumbly an employee table, there was no mention of employee in the code.
If it is not actually picking data from another table for it to be called job_history, what is it doing then.
PROCEDURE HR.add_job_history (
     p_emp_id job_history.employee_id%type
, p_start_date job_history.start_date%type
, p_end_date job_history.end_date%type
, p_job_id job_history.job_id%type
, p_department_id job_history.department_id%type
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO job_history (employee_id, start_date, end_date,
job_id, department_id)
VALUES(p_emp_id, p_start_date, p_end_date, p_job_id, p_department_id);
END add_job_history;
Many thanks

How does this system sound? (And network storage)

Hi All,
I'm gonna be getting a new setup soon, thought I'd run it past you guys here. Really it's an all rounder, I don't have a job in production or anything, but like editing in my spare time for fun (making filmclips out of movies and stuff). It's not that easy to find good advise about setting up a system specifically for Premiere.
So below is the details of what i'm thinking of. The PC I have at the mo, i'm gonna turn into a Windows Home Server. Has anyone used Premiere with networked storage before? I plan to have OS/Programs on an SSD, and I'll probably have to stick a regular HDD in the box as well (probably a 1Tb seagate or something), then backup to the WHS. Any thoughts? Also what sort of impact does the graphics card have? I'm thinking of getting a second card later down the track and SLI them.
Cheers

Server and Network Setup Plan - Does this plan sound good and decent??

Well, it's that time again to buy some new hardware. I've already got a decent server that should do the trick, but it's lacking the hard drive space. Now, I've got a few SATA drives but my server system on has IDE controllers. Time to buy some SATA PCI Cards, woot. If you're a hardware junkie, then here are the things I'm planning on buying for the server system. Hopefully now I can give it a new job again.
SATA II 4 port PCI Controller – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6816124008
This thing is only $38.99. I know it's cheap and probably isn't the best out there, but it looks like it'll work fine for my low budget needs. After all, I won't be using the RAID on it until I get 4 matching drives on the card. So, for now it'll do the job.
WD Black 640gb Drives x2 – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6822136319
These are only $74.99 each. A few days ago they were $69.99 and I hate I didn't grab them then, but still pretty cheap for being some of the fastest 7200rpm drives out there.
OCZ Vertex 30gb SSD – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6820227393
Sooner or later I do plan to upgrade all my OS drives to SSD as all the main storage will be transferred over to my server. This should speed up my systems consideribly as their already fast with Arch64 on them.
Later on I plan to upgrade to either two more 640gb drives and add another PCI Controller card or upgrade to 4 new WD Black 1tb drives. My server has two free PCI slots so I'd be able to get a total storage space of around 8tb or something like that.
That's enough for the server hardware and file system setup, here's how I'm planning to roll the network out. Of course, re-designing it from what it is now.
Internet ISP > Modem > Server > Switch and Router > Wired PCs and Wireless PCs
Here are the systems that will be benefiting from the server just for pleasure purposes.
My desktop machine and laptop will have their /home paritions mounted onto the server.
My work machines (iMac and eMac) will have a small /work-data partition mounted onto the server.
My family's machine (XP Pro, wireless) will have a small /family-data partition mounted onto the server with just Read Access to the other partitions just in case. I don't trust them enough not to fuck something over on my machines.
My brother's laptop (Vista Home Premium) will have access to the /data partition for the family.
I believe that should do it for the machines that would need a constant access to it. I'll post any new updates when it happens. Enjoy.

My thoughts exactly. Install a dhcp-server (and maybe bind9) and all you need is a WAP - works here. You could also configure iptables so you don't need an extra machine as firewall.
My concern is that you are planning on putting all data of you and your family (more than 1 TB at the moment) on a machine and that you don't use a hardware RAID-controller. IMHO data is THE most valuable thing (pictures, holiday movies etc.), so I would prefer spending money on a RAID-controller instead of putting it in an SSD. What is you're server going to do that it needs an SSD for its OS? If it's going to serve files and mail, then you won't notice much of a difference with a normal IDE / SATA disk.
I have bought a new pc for my mediaserver, and it's doing practically nothing 90% of the time, but I need it's CPU cycles to transcode 1080p-files to my DLNA-clients on the network. And did you think of a backup-system? I strongly recommend bacula for automated backups - it might be overkill for a home network, but it is not that hard to learn and very, very flexible!
Zl.
BTW: I am still learning a lot about networking, but I do think I know the basics...

Easiest way of converting motion tween to frame by frame.

In the old motion model it was as easy as highlighting all of the frames, converting them to keyframes then removing the tween. But I have no clue how to do it with the new motion model.

"For whatever reason it converts the tween to frame by frame."
Flash does this because Flash CS3 doesn't know anything about the new motion spans. So this is the way your animation can be displayed in an older version of Flash.
(And it's why we added the feature to right-click a frame and convert to frame-by-frame animation - same operation, but allows you to do it for a single span instead of all spans across the entire document).

Creating Animated GIF using Frames

I would like to create an animated gif without using the 'tween' tool. Basically, I'd like to have an object move across the screen, stop at one point, perform a task (i.e., move arms/legs up and down in a 'jumping jack' style) and then continue on across the screen. I create the first frame then click on the 'duplicate frame' icon. In this frame I use the puppet warp feature to change the position of my object's arms/legs. Next, I duplicate the frame again and repeat the puppet warp process. Finally, I continue to duplicate the frames, moving the object 'x' spaces each frame until it finishes its journey across the screen.
Unfortunately, when I change the position of my object's legs/arms, it changes all of them across all frames. However, the program still allows the object to continue its journey across the screen.
Because of this, I have had to create separate jpg files for each and every one of the object position changes, then import each one with the 'place' tool into the layers and finally create frames from layers and save the gif that way.
Is there a way to do the above without having to create a separate jpg for each one?

Hi SweetFang,
If you're using the Puppet Warp tool, I may suggest you change your workflow. When you duplicate a frame, it doesn't necessarily duplicate the object that is being animated so each change you make will show up in every frame. Instead of duplicating frames to make your changes, try duplicating layers. It will be a good deal easier than saving out a .jpg for each image and then placing them in.
1. Create your background.
2. Create a new layer for the object you will animate. Position it how you want it to look in the first frame of your animation.
3. Now, duplicate the layer and use the puppet transform tool to make your first change.
4. Repeat this process: duplicate your most recent layer, make your change, duplicate your most recent layer, make your change, etc. (To keep your workspace clear you may want to make each previous layer invisible when you add a new one)
5. When you're completely finished, open your Animation panel (CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6) and in the flyout menu, choose Make Frames From Layers
This workflow is essentially what you're doing already, but you're duplicating layers instead of frames and then making the frames automatically.
Please let me know if this makes your project a little bit smoother.
Cheers,
Michael

Zoom in frame by frame is this possible?

trying to zoom in on a massive scale frame by frame really - is there any way of doing this? I'm trying to animate and object frame by frame - or two frames at a time

I think you need to go into a bit more detail here. Try to describe exactly what you want to do, and what kind of footage we are talking about here. I really have no clue what you are trying to do with the current description.
Are you trying to do stop motion animation? Make a cup move across a table or something like that? Then get iStopMotion.

Distributing keyframes in frame by frame animation

I am doing a frame by frame animation of something I brought
in from Illustrator. I have 20 keyframes, each with one (slightly
different) symbol. I need this to move accross the screen.
How does one do it, I must be missing something, this must
come up all the time in frame by frame animation? I need the
symbols to be distribited exactly same distance apart.
I tried using the "align/distribute" feature the same way I
know it from illustrator, and it is just kind of working. I check
"edit all frames" make sure all the keyframes are selected and then
go to the align panel and distribute the centers of all symbols.
What goes wrong is this: it distributes them, but out of
order. Instead of putting frame 2 couple pixels to the right from
frame 1, it puts it right at the end where I would like the frame
#20. the middle then seems in the right order but beginning and end
are always mixed up.
Is the distribute feature the best way of doing this , and
why am I having this problem?

Problems with animations using key frames and other bugs

To me, the current version of Acrobat 3D Toolkit (7.0.7) seems like a beta version -- unfortunately I payed the full price. Or maybe there are a few settings only set wrong on my system and someone can tell me how to correct this ...
++ Animations using key frames
According to the manual page 86:
<-----
6. Ensure the time/frame line is positioned at frame 0, right-click over the time/frame line in the timeline, and then click Insert Key.
---->
I cannot get this context menu option (see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/no-insert-key-option.gif )
++ Empty and hence almost useless Animations Options dialog
The Animation Options dialog does not list any Sequence entries -- although there are sequences available, see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/empty-animation-options-dialog.gif.
++ Mixed up icon bars
Moving icon bars around can result in a complete mix-up of unusable icons, see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/mixed-up-menus.gif
++ Functionless Object Position toolbar
The object position cannot be set using the Object Position toolbar, the OK icon is deactivated all the time although the tick icon is darker green, i.e. supposedly active (see http://www.vornweg.de/acrobat3d/position-panel.gif
++ Missing things
Why is there no properties panel visible all the time, displaying the properties of the selected object and allowing to change properties (e.g. positions, angles etc.)?
Why is it impossible to view different trees at the same time (e.g. scene tree and animation tree)?
Why is it impossible to have different models open simultaneously? (E.g. to compare settings or even to copy properties/objects from one model to the other.)
Why is it impossible to create new folders in the scene tree? Imported folders are available, but for the scene management within Acrobat 3D I may have different requirements than the CAD designer had. (Also, I would like to put new objects in folders of my own.)
Why is tabbing not supported more extensively? E.g. All the different trees (Folders, Scene Tree, ...) could all be put into a single tabbed panel saving valuable space on my screen but still giving easy access to all items.
Why is there no Undo for camera position changes?
Why is there no Undo for material edits (e.g. applying a new material to an object)?
Why is it only possible to animate object movements, not the making visible/invisible of objects and changes of the camera position?
Why is it impossible to save object selections? Within a larger model it always is a lot of clicking to get the view required for certain actions.
Why are there a lot of different Display options available on-screen but when a scene is rendered into a file, Acrobat 3D uses the same display option all the time (i.e. Solid)?
Probably this list could be extended quite heavily. And some of these missing things may be time intensive to realize (and saved for future versions), others are comparably basics now-a-days.

I agree with the "beta" feel of the 3D Toolkit. I have been very frustrated getting animation to work well. Specifically, I made an animation that plays in Toolkit, imports and plays into Acrobat 3D, but does not play in Reader. It displays 3D and rotates, etc., but I cannot get the animaiton to play.
The contextural menu issue you see I see also. The menu appears, but without the "add Key Frame" item. I find that if I select an object, move it a bit, move it back, then the menu will appear. (at least sometimes I think) Pretty frustrating.

Animations delays 1 frame with gotoAndPlay() in CS3

Hello people! Has anybody found this problem with timeline
animations in Flash CS3?
I have an animation that when it reaches frame 10 does a
gotoAndPlay(5) but when the head goes to frame 5 it shows the frame
twice and then goes to the next frame, so the animation delays 1
frame.
If you want to check it out, put the movie at 1fps to see the
delay easily.
This doesn't happen in Flash 8. But it does in Flash CS3.
Anyone knows a solution?

Anyone be willing to tweak my frame by frame animation?

Hello everyone,
Anyone willing to help me out and tweak my frame-by-frame
animation? For example, 2 characters are supposed to be going up a
hill and the hill should be spanning out so that it grows bigger
and bigger. And as the characters bounce up the hill, they should
be getting smaller and smaller (since they're going up the hill). I
just have a simple motion tween that doesn't have much of an
effect. Any suggestions?
Anyone willing to tweak my fla? I'll post a link if anyone's
interested.
Thanks

Sorry I never got to this (very busy at work about to go on
vacation), but I did check it out so I have some suggestions:
1. Make the "hill" bigger initally. You really want to give
the impression that you are zooming out, so start bigger to make
the zoom more dramatic.
2. This goes for the jack and jill characters as well. Make
them bigger initally, and with each zoom out make them shrink more
and more. Currently the max to min sizes are not spread out enough
to emphasize the movement of the camera.
3. Don't do so much work on the main timeline. You should
have made more movieclips, one for each "scene". Your timeline is
too long and cluttered using your "do it all on the main timeline"
technique. If you look at professional sites, the main timeline is
usually only a few layers and frames. This is just a work habit
suggestion, if you like doing it your way then nevermind.
You seem to be on the right path. Just make the inital images
larger so that the zoom is more pronounced. There is a big
difference in the appearance of an object going from 500-50 percent
instead of just 200-100 percent.
Good luck - so far it looks good!

I want to step through a .mov file frame-by-frame looking at geometry of an aircraft in the video to establish the rotational speed of the propeller. This should be fairly straightforward by looking at how much the propeller moves between each frame and using the exposure time of each frame.
However the .mov file is from an iPhone 4S and looking at the details, has a variable frame rate. What I need to know is the duration that each frame is displayed for in order to do my analysis. Does anyone know how to find out this information?
