Animate sketch (and the drawing hand) with multiple masks

I want to animate a bunch of illustrations (with 100+ path objects) i will draw inside Illustrator with my WACOM tablet and later add my Hand by motion path to draw it live.
What i did was to import the final .ai layer (comp sized 1080), add the path by copy & paste as a mask (or better as 100+ masks) and apply the Generate > Stroke effect. I ended up with a beautiful animation of my illustration, without using the path tool in AE.
Now i want to copy & paste the mask or motion path to the position of the image of my hand. Problem is: this just works by select and copy mask path, not multiple masks.
Is there a way to access the position data out of the stroke effect or another way to copy the exact position data of the motion path to match it with the actual position of the stroke effect?
Would be great!

Thank you for your quick response, seems likely. I will reduce number of masks by using less several strokes in illustrator. And maybe there is a way to automatically join paths chronologically (endpoint of path below to startpoint of path above) in illustrator.
But what i keep in mind is that the stroke effect itself does exactly the same: it uses different masks sequentially as a motion path to locate a position, to where die path is drawn. Couldn't it be possible in the same way to move a null or a layer? Or how does the stroke effect face this "problem"?

  • How can I convert string to the record store with multiple records in it?

    Hi Everyone,
    How can I convert the string to the record store, with multiple records? I mean I have a string like as below:
    "SecA: [Y,Y,Y,N][good,good,bad,bad] SecB: [Y,Y,N][good,good,cant say] SecC: [Y,N][true,false]"
    now I want to create a record store with three records in it for each i.e. SecA, SecB, SecC. So that I can retrieve them easily using enumerateRecord.
    Please guide me and give me some links or suggestions to achieve the above thing.
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    I'd not use multiple records for this case. Managing more records needs more and redundant effort.
    Just use single record. Create ByteArrayOutputStream->DataOutputStream and put multiple strings via writeUTF() (plus any other data like number of records at the beginning...), then save the byte array to the record...
    It's easier, it's faster (runtime), it's better manageable...

  • LSMW program to upload the sales order with multiple line items.

    Dear SD and PP Gurus,
    I am new to creating LSMW Program.
    I want to create a LSMW program to upload the sales order with multiple line items. I have read on SDN that it can be done on two phases. First Create Header Data than line items. IS IT TRUE??, Or
    Is there any procedure by which we can load the sales orders with multiple line items in a single run (part).
    I want to use Batch process, not a BAPI or IDOC procedure.
    I have created a program with
    object 0090
    Method 0000
    Program Name RVINVB10
    Program Type D
    Source Structure 1 - For Header and Source Structure 2  for Line Items.
    Mapped Field INDET (With Fix Value 1), ORDERTYPE, SALESORG, DISTCHANNEL, DIVISION, CUSTOMER, PONUMBER , DELVDATE, PRCGDATE, PMTTERM
    INCOT1 INCOT2 with Source Structure - 1 and
    Field INDENT (With Fix Value 2),  ITEMNO, MATCODE, MATQTY, SUOM, PLANT, BATCH, AMOUNT with Structure-2
    than maintained Structure relation ship, field Mapping, Specified Files, Assigned files, Read Data and other process,
    At final stage (Start Direct Input program RVINVB10) it is giving a message - Table name not allowed.
    Please tell me where I am wrong.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear SD Gurus n Experts,
    I have solved the above problem. But there is another problem appearing regarding the date format. Now system generating a message: Date . . is not valid.
    While I am using Date: YYYYMMDD format in flat file, which is SAP's Standard Format.
    In SDN Link: LSMW upload Sales Order using VA01/VA02     I have found that there are some date fields which are mandatory to filled. Here I have mapped
    VDATU - Requested delivery date,  BSTDK - Customer purchase order date,  PRSDT - Date for pricing and exchange rate,  BSTDK_E - Ship-to party's PO date, FKDAT - Billing Date, KORDT - Delivery Date,
    and PRGRS - Date type is Constant = D
    Can any one tell me, where is the priblem.
    With thanks,
    DSC

  • I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.

    I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.
    In particular, I am analyzing the example "Even Angle Reference Signal Processing (Digital Tacho, DAQmx).vi", whose documentation I am reproducing in the following:
    <B>DESCRIPTIONS</B>:
    This VI demonstrates how to extract even angle reference signals and remove the slow-roll errors. It uses DAQmx VIs to acquire sound or vibration signals and a digital tachometer signal. This VI includes a two-step process: acquire data at low rotational speed to extract even angle reference; use the even angle reference to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation.
    <B>INSTRUCTIONS</B>:
    1. Run the VI.
    2. On the <B>DAQ Configurations</B> tab, specify the <B>sample rate</B>, <B>samples per channel</B>, device and channel configurations, and tachometer channel information.
    <B>NOTE</B>: You need to use DSA PXI-447x/PXI-446x and PXI TIO device in a PXI chassis to run this example. The DSA device must be in slot 2 of the PXI chassis.
    3. Switch to <B>Extract Even Angle Reference</B> tab. Specify the <B>number of samples to acquire</B> and the <B># of revs in reference</B> which determines the number of samples in even angle reference. Click <B>Start</B> to take a one-shot data acquisition of the vibration and tachometer signals. After the acquisition, you can see the extracted even angle references in <B>Even Angle Reference</B>.
    4. Switch to the <B>Remove Slow-roll Errors</B> tab. Click <B>Start</B> to acquire data continuously and view the compensate results. Click <B>Stop</B> in this tab to stop the acquisition.
    <B>ORDER ANALYSIS VIs USED IN THIS EXAMPLE</B>:
    1. SVL Scale Voltage to EU.vi
    2. OAT Digital Tacho Process.vi
    3. OAT Get Even Angle Reference.vi
    4. OAT Convert to Even Angle Signal.vi
    5. OAT Compensate Even Angle Signal.vi
    My question is: How is the synchronization produced at the time of the compensation ? How is it possible to eliminate the errors in a synchronized fashion with respect to the surface of the shaft bearing in mind that I am acquired data at a low rotation speed in order to get the "even angle reference" and then I use it to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation. In this application both operations are made in different acquisitions, therefore the reference of the correction signal is lost. Is it simply compensated without synchronizing ?
    Our application is based on FPGA and we need to clarity those aspects before implementing the procedure.
    Solved!

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • What is the difference between the 4th generation ipad and the ipad 3 with retnia display?

    What is the difference between the 4th generation iPad and the "New iPad with retina display"? i don't quite understand. are they stilll the same size or would i have to get a different case?

    The 3rd and 4th generation iPads are the same size. The 4 has a faster processor, and a little better iSight camera for FaceTime. The 4 also has the lightning connector so your old cable will not work with the iPad 4.
    You should always check with the manufacturer of the case to see if it will fit. You can probably do that on the manufacturers website.
    This might be of some interest to you.

  • My problem is that my iCal won't sync from my first-generation iPad to my computer, and the computer sends events multiple times back to the iPad... which is now full of duplicate events. I'm NOT on iCloud.

    I'm just an old lady who doesn't know a lot about this stuff, but I do love my iPad and miss my portable calendar! My problem is that my iCal won't sync from my (first-generation, cheaper of the two models) iPad to my computer, and the computer sends events multiple times back to the iPad... which is now full of duplicate events. I'm NOT on iCloud. I've had this problem for nearly a year now. My Really Really Smart son couldn't fix it for me.

    There's no simple answer to that. My calendar goes back to 2004 and is moderately busy; it took around an hour. It's possible that you've hit a slow period on the server - it happens.
    In order for it to work, your calendars should show on the MobileMe site, they should be listed under your MobileMe login name in the calendar list in iCal (calendars listed under 'On My Mac' will not sync) and your MM account details have to be entered in iCal Preferences>Accounts (this should have happened by itself).
    If it's not working please see the page I linked to.
