Animation clip question

I want to purchase a short animation, this is the spec:HD 1080 (1920x1080)
29.97fps / 309.8 MB
I am editing 1920x1080 but in 25 fps, can I convert the clip in FCP to match?

Use Compressor to convert it. Don't know what codec the original is, but you're probably want to convert that too.

Layers in Animated Gif Question...

Been going crazy all night
I'm trying to create an animated gif. I made a BG image that I want the video to go on top of. The video is 136 frames (layers). I duplicated the BG image 136 times and pasted the videos 136 layers on top of the BG image.. Here is my problem.. I need to move the video frames (136 of them) onthe background so it lines up better... How do I move them all at once. Meaning if I move the frame on layer 1, the frames will move on EVERY layer. There has to be a way to move them so they all move to the same location at once. There is no way I could move each one separately and get them in the exact same location...
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks in advance...

Sorry... Using PS CS4 Extended.. Not sure what you mean by click the purple icon and then the red button.... I know it will be a bit choppy, but that is alright for this project.... I know with imageready (in the past) you could drag the image and it would move the image in every frame.... There has to be a way to move the image on layer one so that the image will move to the exact spot in each layer..... Atleast, I hope there is.. Thanks for getting back to me

Click the purple icon and then click the red button. Click the OK box below it if you like the result.
It would help to know what program you are using and it might help to post in that program's forum.
Beware that you are grossly abusing the GIF format. It is not intended for video. You could experience choppy playback and/or a lousy color palette.

How can I create stop animation clip utilizing single images?

Can I load individual images and overlap them to create a short animation clip?
What is the best file type of still images to use, jpeg?
How to overlap small image (with transparent background) on top of another background?
Thank you!

You import the images. You put them on multiple layers, stacked on top of each other. JPEG is not a good format. Use PNG or Photoshop or TIFF.
Layers are transparent. Put whatever background you want on the base layer.

Using You Tube video clips question:

After importing several clips from You Tube (of varying quality) to incorporate into an editing project, the clips look okay and play full screen, in the "source" window, but when I put them in the timeline and play them in the "program" window, they are thumbnail size. Why does this happen? I tried converting...but still no luck.

The short answer here is, don't. (Assuming that if it was yours in the first place, you'd have the original and not have to use the upload.)
And Bill, you should know better than to help someone violate copyright law.
yeah, i beg to differ on this. i have 100s of videos on youtube i did back when it first started before i saved my finished projects... (from 2005-2008 i would just record, edit, post, delete, because it was just random junk of me hanging out with friends, or just v-logging about stuff i needed to blow steam about) so one of these days i'll have to go through and download them and burn them for archives. Never say never

Help animating clips and text

How would I go about animating clips and text the way they appear to move in the above video (made using Motion) in After Effects? What effect would I apply to the clips and text to be able to alter their perspective/angle like that?
Thanks for your help!

You'd just make the video layers into 3D layers and animate them and move the camera around them.
The text can be animated using per-character 3D animation.
Since you're new to After Effects, I strongly recommend that you start here to learn After Effects.

Animated mask on an animated clip : huge problem...

Hello,
Am I completely hallucinating or what ? That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....
I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!
I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property...'.
What is this $@#?!@$ ???
Here is an example : http://moonpalace.fr/AdobeForum/testClipMasked.fla
Thanks for your replies !

The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope. This could mean that the object....
- is declared but not instantiated
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.

Animated Background Question

Hey,
Ok, I wasn't sure if this was the right section but I am trying to learn how to create an animated light effect over a web image. I guess the easiest way to explain what I am looking to do is provide an example.
I want to add the moving bubble lights over my web image like on this website. http://www.yannanderson.com/
Was this created in Photoshop or is it a flash animation?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hi, you speak about my website it's an AJAX website, but the bubbles animation is javascript powered... it's a simple scrit that i have purchased here :

Best practices for animation clips in FCPX

I used to be able to treat Motion projects just like any other clip on the time line. Is this no longer possible?
For example, I want to set in and out points in FCPX, but a Motion project imported as a Generator will only allow me to start from the first frame. I can not set an in point. Did I import it improperly? Im not really sure how the best way to bring in my Moption animations. They are not really Titles, Generators or Transitions. Any advice would be appreciated.

Ah, then you have some optoins, if it's something you'll be using a lot, even if only in one production.
Save As Template, and just save it as a Generator template, it'll work the same way pretty much. When you right click it in the Generator, you can Open In Motion to make changes. Once you make the changes, and save, come back to FCP X, you'll just drag-and-drop the new "updated" Generator onto the old one in the Timeline (Replace) and it's that easy. Not the same, but still pretty easy.
I'm doing a mixed media (animations of various types, photos, real life video, etc) project now, and am finding saving my stuff as Generator Templates, in a Theme I've titled the same as my production, very easy to use. There's the extra step of doing a replace edit once a change is made, but it's not a big deal, very easy, very fast.
All of these custom templates are stored in your Movies folder, inside a "Motion Templates" sub-folder, if you ever want to archive or access them directly.

HTML/CSS animation clipped on iPad

Hi list...
When inserting html into an inDesign document intended to be published as an iPad app, I'm running into issues with seeing the entire html. The bounding box that holds the html collapses down to the size of the "This is arbitrary html" message that's displayed in inDesign at design time. Second, when viewing on the iPad, this collapsed box is fully black at first, and you have to touch it in order to see the now clipped html.
Am I missing a setting in inDesign somewhere? In the html, I attached styles to force the <body> and a <div> wrapper to be 500px by 500px. That doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas are appreciated.
- Michael M.

Thanks again Bob for following up. I appreciate your diligence.
I'm trying to insert an svg graphic, with some css animation. That renders fine, but the svg gets shrunk down to fit the bounding box, and the bounding box is clipped. Also, it's filled with black first until you tap it (only then does it display the svg). Below is the html I'm inserting.
Hopefully this is helpful?

Clipping question

Hi,
I have a JScrollPane that manage a view with very large components and therefore user can view only a small part of components at a given time. In the drawComponent method of the visualised components, I draw a scale using long lines (g.drawLine method).
Up to now, I draw lines that start at 0 x coordinates and that ends at the end of the components (from 0 to component's width). Therefore, a large part of the line is not visualised.
Do I have to clip myself or is java by default not drawing the part of the line that is not visualised ?
If I have to clip, how can I do this (I noticed a graphics.getClipBounds method) and if java knows the clipping area why does java does clip by itself.
I ask this question because if the line is dashed, performances (redraw) are getting very bad !
Thanks a lot.

Powerpoint Animation Import Question

Hello All. I'm running Powerpoint 2003 and Captivate 3.
Here's my somewhat silly question. When I import a .ppt slide
with simple animation into Cap, all I get is a blank screen in Cap.
Once I hit F3 to preview the slide, I see what's supposed to be in
the animation, but it fades away once the slide is done.
How do I edit the damn thing in Cap? I've tried different
grouping, different window sizes, moving things around, but I can't
get to the text that fades in.
There's got to be a simple answer that I'm just not seeing.
Thanks
Jimmy

Hey there Jimmy
Standard problem is that what you created in Powerpoint from
many elements is pulled into Captivate as a single entity and thus
cannot be edited in Captivate. The best way is to build each slide
in Captivate from ground up, but I understand the frustration if
you have good powerpoint material and do not want to rebuild. In
this instance, my suggestion is to delete the slide in question in
Captivate, then open the ppt file and edit your animations there as
this is probably where the problem lies, remember that Captivate
does not have that "click to appear/disappear" functionality that
Powerpoint has and thus just plays all your animations in a timed
sequence. Lastly, import the "fixed" slide back into Captivate.
(Suggestion is to save that ppt slide as a file on its own before
pulling into Captivate)
cheers
Andrew

Rejected Clips Question...

I have some clips in my Events that show both orange lines, used in Project, and red lines, rejected clips. I don't remember nor do I know how to reject a clip. How did these red lines get there? Can I undo them so they are like the other Event clips with just orange lines? Is the red lines affecting my Project?
thank you,
Paul Neathery

Hello, Paul.
Here is a link to the help section for iMove. If I understand your question correctly, I believe it should help you with the rejected clip issue.

Cs4 flash movie clip question

I have started this animation and I am turning rain drops into movie clips with a small splash animation in the clip.I can just copy and paste them so I won't have to animate each one or do programming. When I test this with the swf file they turn out fine. But when I try to export this into a jpeg/png,or avi the full animation in the movie clip doesn't work.It just shows the first frame.Is there a way to make this work since I would really like the single jgep files or avi since I need to transfer this to other programs. I thought there was a way to do this but I cannot remember or I don't know if they changed it with cs4 XD.

Oh I am sorry I didn't say what I mean clearly XD. I want export it as a image jpeg sequence so I would have the many frames to import else where. But also I would like different single shots to show as previews as well. But when I try to do that the movie clips are not moving slowly in each image.
And I keep trying to do avi's but the movie clips are still not working.

Quick multi-clip question..

I have to cut a three camera shoot in the next two hours. I've set up the multi-clip. The three cameras are pegged to the 1,2,3 of the numeric keyboard. When I flip from one camera to the next everything works ... but ... it doesn't make a cut. I could use the icons on the timeline, they work, but it isn't very intuitive or rhythmic (this is a music show). How can I set the 1,2,3 keys to actually make a mark or a cut as move between them?
I'm on the road, no manual, and I remember it being a bit of trick anyway ... wading through the FCP manual for an answer to this particular question (which I've unfortunately forgotten).
All ears,
Ben

Just finished my first 4 minute song. Only ten more to go. Thank you Tom. And Studio X.
Studio X for getting me to go back to the in-board manual, which, with the keywords got me into a whole other set of subject headings, which got me into understand better how they've laid the thing out.
And Tom, for the down and dirty.
Much appreciated,
Ben

Offline clips question

I have a project that I am working on and I have two scratch disks I am working with. I have taken the clips from the one external drive, that I no longer want to use as a scratch disk, and transferred the capture scratch folder into the capture scratch folder on the one scratch disk I want to primarily use. My question is, how do I reconnect all the now offline clips in the time line?

Use te File>Reconnect function and point the clips at the correct piece of media.
