Animate image behind mask, without mask moving

Hey guys this is probably really easy but this is my first run at doing a video project and cant get this to work for the life of me!
OK, I have 3 images which I imported from PS CC ( AE is CC as well for reference ) a company logo, a spacer line then the company name stylized so I want to use this and not just a text tool...
Now I have the logo and spacer fade in then I want the text to slide in from behind the logo and spacer making it look like its coming out of the vertical bar, I know I need to mask from the bar all the way to the left of the logo and offscreen to pull this off but I cannot get the mask to not slide when I try to animate the text layer! please help me figure this out!

I ended up just making another comp of the animation I wanted, brought that into comp1 and positioned it where I wanted it and bam, bobs your uncle! So easy but as I said my first time doing something in AE so I had to stumble through it

  • How to make a one-color fill images with masks in documents from our multiple layers ?

    Hello everyone!
    I`m to open PSD document with same layers. I need to:
    1. Save the jpg file (preview) in a certain place
    2. All layers with masks to make one-color fill instead of images with masks.
    Thanks
    This is way ?
    var theLayers = collectLayers(app.activeDocument, []);
    alert (theLayers.join("\n"));
    function collectLayers (theParent, allLayers) {//---------------------------------------------------
    if (!allLayers) {var allLayers = new Array}
       else {};
       for (var m = theParent.layers.length - 1; m >= 0;m--) {
          var theLayer = theParent.layers[m];
          if (theLayer.typename == "ArtLayer") {
               var bar = new Array;
               bar = theLayer.bounds
               l0= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.width - theLayer.bounds[2] - theLayer.bounds[0]);
               l1= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.height -theLayer.bounds[3] - theLayer.bounds[1]);
                if((l0+l1)>0) { // layer mask is set
                    // delete this layer
                    //create new layer
                    //create new mask from array bar
                    //fill selection
                allLayers.push(theLayer);
       return allLayers

    I may not quite follow.
    Would you mind posting an example (a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible for example) and an overview of the resulting images you want to produce?

  • Move Type without leaving residual type image behind

    In InDesign, like Freehand, I can select a block of type and
    hold the cursor still for a second, then move the text and see it
    while it is moving for better placement visually. The problem is,
    in Freehand, it leaves the original image of the type also in place
    where it was before I started moving it. Is this a feature that can
    be turned on and off, or, is there a way to not leave the residual
    image behind when moving a text block?
    TIA,
    Ken

    By the way, after I complete the move, after releasing the
    cursor, the original block of type disappears, as it should because
    the type block is now moved. I just would like it to never remain
    in the first place.

  • Image Matte / mask independent of the video applied

        I have a project in which I need to do a 3 or 4-way split screen. While it's easy to set that up and position them at the right places, I cannot seem to find a way with which I could change the scale of the video with an Image Matte applied without changing that of the Matte as well. I can use offset and push the video around "underneath", so to speak, but I would love to be able to scale that video underneath as well. I know that could be done with a layer on top obscuring the video below but I find that rather cumbersome, especially with 4-way or more, adding quite a few more layers.
    Any ideas?    

    Thank you for the comments and help above. Indeed there're many ways to achieve one effect.
    My project is a 15mins cut with a lot of editing. The resulting footage is cutting in and out of 3/4-way splits every now and then. Most footages are at least 10mins long.
    1. Nesting
    Nesting sequences would generate a huge number of nested sequences (which is already the case due to a few multi-cam moments).
    2. Putting clips into its own sequences
    Again, I would have to go into the sequences and find the exact moment where I need to do the zooming and such.
    Ideally, I would love to be able to:
    1. Create a preset of the each 'way' of splitting for individual clips. For example, in a 4-way split, presets for Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left and Bottom Right. And then I can just drop one of these effects onto a clip.
    2. scale the clip freely without going into another sequence or nested sequence. The matte stays there without being scaled
    Sometimes I have nested sequence of anthoer nested sequence. It's just a project nightmare after a while. Anyway, well, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thanks!

  • Images behind the Header

    I thought in previous versions of iWeb that when you created certain pages that the default boxes were set up with the Header and also an image box around the Header, where you could insert an image and have the text of the header show through the image. The image box I'm talking about has the feature where clicking the image box brought up the Mask. The only way I can seem to do it now is to copy one of those image mask boxes from one of my other pages to a new page. Problem is that some times I can get the Header text visible in the image and sometimes I can't. Any input would be appreciated. Here are two examples:
    1) Text visible through image Mask Here
    2) Image not able to go behind Text without blocking text. Here

    Old Toad,
    I guess you don't get to be level 5 without having most of the answers. That did the trick. Check out link 2 again and you'll see. Thanks
    Can I ask one more thing. Link 2 is a "My Albums" page. When I click on it in the sidebar it takes about 22 seconds to load. That's a long time. My other pages open right away. Can you think of anything that could cause that or do My Albums pages take that much time to load. The page seems to open OK in a browser.

  • To move an image behind a part of our "first picture", as if two layers are overlapped !

    Hello,
    I'm french, and I already posted a question a few times ago, on this forum and I was very satisfied with your quick answers, so I come ask again a little question...
    It's about Photoshop CS6 and I would like to know if it's possible to move an image behind a part of our "first picture", as if two layers are overlapped (the first picture and the picture that I add !) and one layer was partially hidden by the first !
    It's quite complicated to understand and explain... I know ... and I'm very sorry ...
    Example: If I want to move a book behind furniture (which is located in the center of my "background" or "first picture", surrounded by a nonuniform setting !), so to see only part of the book and the other part is hidden by the furniture ! Like the picture below (where we see that the "Coraya" is behind the desk !!) :
    I thank you in advance for all your quick responses and I congratulate you in advance to your understanding and your professionalism about Photoshop !
    Makarsh

    Makarsh,
    One easy way to accomplish that look is to add a Layer Mask to the "book" Layer, in the shape of the furniture, that you wish to hide part of the book behind.
    That would probably be easier by creating a Selection for that part of the furniture, with the Selection Tool of your choice. I personally like to do such work with the Pen Tool (creates a Path), as it is very exact. However, if one is not comfortable with the Pen Tool and Paths, then the Lasso (perhaps constraining it for straight lines) might be easier. If you do use the Pen Tool, when complete, go to the Paths Panel, and from the little arrow in the top-right, choose Make Selection.
    Then, with that Selection still active, go to the book Layer, and click on the Create Layer Mask icon, at the bottom of the Layers Panel.
    If necessary, you can do touchup to that Layer Mask, after it has been created.
    Good luck, and hope that helps.

  • Images Behind Text in RTF Template

    While creating a few rtf templates, I noticed that if an image is to be shown behind text then the image will not render to back to .rtf by bi pub.
    If I put the image inline with text, it renders just fine.
    Am I missing a step that would allow me to render the image behind text or is it just working as intended?

  • How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

  • How to insert cropped images from photoshop without the white background

    Basically all I want to do is take a peice of writing from a video and insert it into another video. To do this I've took a screenshot of the font from the video and imported it into photoshop. I've then cropped/cut/took the the peice of writing I want, letter by letter. I want to be able to insert it into another video, but whenever I attempt to do it, I have the default white background of photoshop. Is there anyway to insert an image from photoshop, without taking the background with it, or even insert a layer from photoshop straight into final cut pro? Sorry if this is confusing.

    I don't think so. I cropped the letters, put them each an individual file, removed the background, saved them as a TIF then tried to import them onto Final Cut Pro, but a white background still appeared in the TIF file. Basically I just want to make the background transparent I believe.

    As Walt says - you need to use CSS to declare the background

  • Enlarging an image on mouseover without using Flash

    Enlarging an image on mouseover without using Flash
    I use DW MX 2004 with Windows 2000
    I want to create the following effect. I have two versions of
    an image,
    geyso_scr... (which is screen size) and geyso_sm (which is
    small). On
    mouse-over I want a larger window to open on top of my html
    page (but
    less than the full screen) and show the larger image file in
    whatever
    size I have created it.
    One mouse-off I want to restore the original image.
    I tried this with a straight image swap on the following
    page:
    http://www.tudo.co.uk/testing/hospiz_stiftung/shell/contents/vorstand/vorstand.html
    see row 2, image 1, Peter von Geyso.
    This works all right (on mouseover there is a shift of about
    1 px) but
    the screen sized image has been sized down to the original
    image (sm image).
    How can I conveniently get the large image hovering on top of
    the
    existing page?
    Can someone recommend a tutorial which describes how this is
    done?
    Or is there a utility which does it?
    On similar lines, a client wants to display a list of items
    as text in
    comparatively small font. On mouse-over he wants the
    list-item in
    question to become slightly larger (not only to change colour
    etc). Can
    that be done without converting the text into images.
    Is there any tutorial for that?
    (No point in arguing with the client that the text should be
    made large
    enough to read in the first place. I have tried that in
    vain.)
    Thanks for your help.

  • How can I place an image behind my header?

      I am using a template for pages and I have been selecting their different styles of pages.  They all have a image behind the header as a background...except one page.  I would like to add it, but the image will only go in front of the header.  I need to be able to see the header! :-) Anyone know how to solve this?  Thanks!

    I see the problem.
    It works on the other pages because the things behind are Background Objects, but I see no way of making the foreground objects (as on the Mailer page) background objects. Background Objects are not supposed to exist in Layout mode templates.
    I can see nothing in either the Wrap Inspector nor in the Format > Advanced options that distinguishes the two.
    As far as I can tell Apple has done something in their coding but put no User Interface on it.
    The only way around this that I can discover is to modify one of the pages where the objects are already Background Objects, to reconstruct the Mailer page by making them Media Placeholders then dragging a new image in place of the existing. Then it stays a Background Object.

  • Graphic Images Behind Tables

    You can add graphic images behind your spreadsheets. Place the image and send to back. Select your table(s) so the corner / center drag icons show. With the Inspector change the table fill color to "None".
