Animation Tweening is producing a transparent to opaque transition

I have two frames with the start and end of my animation. My two layers contain a transparent background and an opaque object. When I choose the tweening option and add my specified number of frames, then test the animation, the start of the animation is 0% opaque and slowly becomes 100% at the end.
My two layers used for start and finish are opaque. I have all the checkboxes checked by default for the tweening, and I can't figure why I'm getting a fade-in effect for my animation.
What am I missing here?

Solved it. I found a great YouTube video tutorial about this. He showed that I needed to DUPLICATE my first frame with only one layer of content in the file, not having a separate layers of content to tween between two existing frames.
Now I understand what was going wrong. My tweening was only working on one layer, and it was going from nothing to opaque.
Here's the video link if it will help others.

Photoshop CS6 extended - Tween is producing transparent transitions

I have two frames. Each contains a transparent background and an completely opaque object. When I choose the tweening option with specified number of frames, I get a semi-transparent transition.
If I first duplicate the first frame, then select all three frames and choose tweening I also get a semi- transparent transition.
I even copied the layers before converting the whole thing into a Frame Animation - with the same result.
(I also saw the older Topic here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4694852?tstart=0 , but it was no use to me, since I even had this effect when I first duplicated the frame)
What am I missing here?

Thanks Cutehampster,
I'm not sure if it's meant like that since the whole screen gets transparent which wouldn't really make sense for anything...
Also in the following vid (posted in the other thread) it doesn't get transparent, so I guess there should be a way to get an opaque frame:

Animation. tween for scale transformations

mac, mac osX 10.5.3., photoshop cs3.
When I use the basic animation palette of Photoshop and from one frame to another I am not able to get a motion tween between scale transformation of an object/layer.
When I scale something on a frame it comes to be scaled the same in each frame of the animation.
What is that I make wrong, guys?
thanks a lot
antonella

Expand the layer and look for the difference settings and you will see each setting has a stop watch you have to activate the stopwatch for each type of transformation, scale position, color transparency etc. You do so by starting the transformation at the point in the timeline where it will begin in your scene you click the stopwatch, that will automatically make a keyframe at each point along the time line you make a change in the preview window.
Hope that is clear.
Oh wait as second you are talking frame by frame , there is no tweening, it is frame by frame you have to move for each frame manually and set the the frame delay.
I am wrong about that it should work from the flyout menu tween and set that number of frames. and what you want tweened.
I never noticed they offered this wonderful feature to frame by frame.
Make a frame place or create your art. make a new frame , move your art, change the color and or opacity if you desire and scale if desired then from the timeline flyout choose tween select how many frames you want to add and click ok. Then select the first frame of that tween and shift click on the last to change the duration if you do not like the 6.6 seconds delay to some thing like 0.1 seconds, which is what the delay of your vision is. The 6.6 second default delay is probably for a slide show.
Now play your animated tweened clip.
This will help you make a transition to the time line rather then using frame by frame.
The time line is far more powerful and you will love the co9ntrol you have and Premiere and AE is even better and this will help you make that transition as well.

Publish Transparent to Opaque Text

I am new to Flash and am trying to do the following:
Motion tween with text. Moving text from pt A to pt B and
from transparent/invisible to opaque. I am doing this in one layer
with a movie imported that plays in another. When I play it back in
flash it looks fine. I have converted the text to a graphic symbol
too.
When I publish the fla to swf and play back the text tween,
say in a browser, the tween movement is there, but not from
transparent to opaque. It remains opaque the entire time. What am I
doing wrong?
Thanks!
bmgid

I converted the text to a graphic symbol so I could create
the transparency percentage. Can I do a transparency to opaque
tween w/text not converted?
Thanks,
bmgid

Xfce4-panel transparent with opaque text/icons

I'm trying to achieve panel transparency with opaque text/icons, I googled around and eventually found a few helpful posts. I'm trying to use the patch guide posted in this topic a few years back:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=71248
when I try to makepkg, "xfce4-panel-4.6.1.tar.bz2" doesn't pass a validity check for the md5sums. Is this patch even up to date? If it isnt where can I find a more up to date one because so far I've been unsuccessful in that regard.
Also, I assume that patching is still the only option for achieving this transparency effect in xfce4 or has something new been developed?

Sorry about my last post. I just thought that if you couldn't get it to work with opaque icons, then you wanted the next best thing. Anyway, maybe it is because the patch is for xfce 4.6.1 .

then in the xfce4-panel-build folder run this in a terminal:
makepkg -c
I think this should work for you. Then all you have to do is install it using pacman -U, and then restart the panel using these 2 commands in alt+f2 run program:
killall xfce4-panel
then:
xfce4-panel &
Try changing everything that says xfce 4.6.1 to 4.6.2 because xfce4-session is 4.6.2 . Or maybe change it to 4.6.4 which is the version of the panel. I don't know what to do about the md5sum error. Delete the line maybe? If you are sure it downloaded correctly. Hope that helps.

Transparency in gradients - transition gradient slider still shows the transparent tabs colour

I`m trying to make a one colour radial blend from one colour to transparent,
so I make the end tab 0% opacity. transparent,
however the transition gradient slider at top between the colour and the transparent tab still shows the influence of the transparent, this creates a colour bleed from the transparent tab even if I set it to white, the left colour fades out into white then transparency. (this is not due to the cream left tab, it happens on any colour sample)
I want the left colour tab to fade out with no influence in the transition period to the "white transparent" tab, but the transition slider does carry some of the gradation from the white tab... is there a way to delete the white tab all together and have a true transition from the cream to nothing?

I just thought of the solution, - use the same colour on both colour stops, and make one transparent.

Animated gifs in final cut - transparency issue

does anyone have experience importing transparent gifs into final cut?? i used to be able to do it fine in final cut 5, but now in version 7, instead of converting the transparency to one solid color, it converts it keeps changing colors, so i can't chroma-key it away... the main problem is that i have a session which is comprised of a bunch of animated gifs... it all looked fine in version 5 cause the transparent parts were converted to a solid color, which i chroma-keyed away. now it looks like crap and i don't want to have to re-do all of that work. any idea would be much appreciated. thanks!
Jonah

You'd want to make some careful tests and examine your settings even more carefully because FCP shouldn't be converting anything to anything else unless you tell it to.

Turning transparent objects opaque

Can I make a translucent object appear opaque without using fill? I made a sketch and I'm trying to have it appear in front of the background. Unfortunately, if I use any kind of fill, it ruins my sketch? Is there a way to get around this?

I'm guessing that you can see some background coming through your translucent sections?
without the background selected you cold try flatten transparency, but you will find it changes edit-ability somewhat.
without knowing exactly what your seeing it is hard to help.
a screen shot of what is happening would help us help you.

Animation Tween Problem - Motion am I missing somthing..?

Screen shots, a simple fly-in, keep move slowly, then fly out, but for some crazy reason Premiere keeps creating a tween that does not exist and adding a bounce that looks pants... this is very, very simple animation it surely should not be doing this, or am I missing somthing, equally I'd love to have motion splines can I switch them on as this would likely fix the issue...
The mistery tween that does not exist...?
The other Keyframe...
If I add an additional manual tween, it just replicates the problem further, so I end up with two bounces I don't want. Any help would be peachy,
Samantha

Well found the linear option etc, right click, but cannot find temporal & spatail, it would just be nice to have a spline on the motion position. To be frank Premiere's behaviour is just being odd in gerneral Ann. It just lost keyframes on the button/Badge element. Well there was none there but the animation still remained uneditable. Going to reload the project, but think it's likely best I pop out to After Effects for the Motion Graphics, or it will drive me bonkers lol

Help Menu Search Bar Transparency Not Opaque With Increase Contrast Option

Hi,
I am running OS X 10.10 and I've turned on the Reduce Transparency and the Increase Contrast options.
I've noticed, however, that with the Increase Contrast On the background of the search bar in the Help menu is transparent again and with black text (making it even harder to read then normal). If I have only the Reduce Transparency on then it is opaque as expected. It's with both Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast on that causes this behavior.
Is this a bug that anyone else has experienced or is it just me? Any ideas how to fix this annoyance (other than turning off Increase Contrast)?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem here. Not really sure why it's not working, but checking the "synchronize with google" box seems to do nothing.

Toolbar area on laptop is transparent, not opaque like desktop. How fix?

On my desktop, the Firefox toolbar area is an opaque beige color, making the text and icons in the toolbars easy to see and read. I installed Firefox on my laptop, and used Sync, and set the same toolbars. But on the laptop the toolbars are transparent; the desktop shows through and makes them hard to read.
How can I make the area surrounding the viewing area opaque?

Animation tween effect

hello!
i seem to be stuck on a tween that i have in mind.
lets say we want to animate an object using the 3d position its (Z position)to be exact, from keyrame 1 to keyframe 40 or so on.
i put the object on keyrame 1 to 10000position and view and then its keyframe on 40 to 0 position and view,so it looks like a nice object zooming towards you as you see it.but how can we get the object to constantly spin around and around(like from the motion presets from the default:spiral 3D ) .so it seems like a coin been tossed.
thank you.
p.s is it possible i can combine 2 motion presets on one object,or just one motion preset is allowed on an object?
best regards.

hey hi!!!thanks for your reply,yes it does work like you say i motion tween and put in the values like u said,but!!!!!
it only goes around once.!how can i motion tween the object but the object going around more than once because i did as u said:
y=0
y=120
y=240
y=360
so thats one time it turns!.this is a good expamle c the earth here how it orbits around,imagine its on the z position all the way in the background and it orbits around and around unitl it comes close,but the earth doesnt turn only once but its spinig and spining may times before it comes close to you.

Animated GIF transparency in Muse

I am using Adobe Muse CC 2014 and am interested in placing either a transparent animated .GIF image or an Adobe Edge Animate CC 2104 transparent .OAM image on top of
an image in the <body> section. Placing the Adobe Edge Animate .oam image results in a NON-TRANSPARENT background, even though the same background when
creating/saving/viewing the .html image in Adobe Edge Animate displays as transparent.
I created an animation with a transparent background in both Adobe Photoshop CC 2104 and Fireworks CS6, saving the file as an animated .gif. In both applications, the
background is again, transparent. Placing either of those animated .gif images on top of a <body> background image (.jpg) results in a white stroke/outline around the
non-transparent part of the animated .gif.
All help would be greatly appreciated for enabling either an Adobe Edge Animate .oam image with a transparent background, or an animated .gif file with a transparent
background to be placed on top of a <body> image in Adobe Muse WITHOUT a stroke/outline of any color. Either the steps to make this happen OR a temporary
workaround would be terrific!
NOTE: The stroke of the image has been set to NONE in Adobe Muse to remove this option as a variable.
Thanks,
Prefix

I appreciate your reply. The problem, in this case, did not lie with Photoshop or Fireworks - both of which were used in the creation of the animated images. In both
applications, adding a darker background (just for testing purposes) shows no white outline. As it turned out, the problem was due to the nature of saving (in this case)
a .gif from either a .png file (native to Fireworks), or from a .psd file (Photoshop, of course). The .gif supports transparency, but only at greater than 50%. Anything at 50% or
less (as would occur with anti-aliasing or feathering, for example) will resolve to white. Since there was feathering (and anti-aliasing) for both the transparent characters
as well as the outer edge of the sphere, saving the file as an animated .gif caused the white outline to appear.
The GOOD news is that there is a solution to the problem. I created a file with the animated images 3X larger than the final size. When the image was reduced
in Adobe Muse to the desired size, the white outlines disappeared, leaving me with what I intended as an image from the beginning.
Thanks all who replied and ultimately helped to determine first the cause of the white outlines, and then a way to "fix" the problem.
All of your help is greatly appreciated.

Problem to create animated gif using transparent frames

Hi, everyone:
My name is Edison, I am playing with Gif89Encoder utility classes to make an animated gif which is a requirement for my course work.
I got some problem about the transparent frames. I used the png image as the frame to create the animated gif,
those pngs have transparent colors and the background is totally transparent, when i create the animated the gif with those
frames, the animated gif display the colors but without transparency for those colors, but the background is transparent as expected.
I am not sure if I should IndexGif89Frame or DirectGif89Frame for the colors from the Gif89encoder package.
Is there anyone got the same problem and knows how to fix it?
The following is how i setup the colors in my png file, the alpha channel is 80.
Color[] colours = new Color[7];
 colours[0] = new Color(255, 255, 255, 0);
 colours[1] = new Color(128, 128, 255, 80);
 colours[2] = new Color(128, 0, 128, 80);
 colours[3] = new Color(0, 128, 128, 80);
 colours[4] = new Color(128, 128, 0, 80);
 colours[5] = new Color(204,102,255,80);
 colours[6] = new Color(255, 0, 0, 80);The code i did to generate gif:
public void run89Gif()
 Image[] images = new Image[4];
 try{
 images[0] = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/temp/0.png"));
 images[1] = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/temp/1.png"));
 images[2] = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/temp/2.png"));
 images[3] = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/temp/3.png"));
 OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("D:/temp/output.gif");
 writeAnimatedGIF(images,"Empty annotation", true, 1, out);
 images = null;
 }catch(IOException er){ }

 Image[] still_images,
 String annotation,
 boolean looped,
 double frames_per_second,
 OutputStream out) throws IOException
 Gif89Encoder gifenc = new Gif89Encoder();
 for (int i = 0; i < still_images.length; ++i){
 gifenc.addFrame(still_images);
gifenc.setComments(annotation);
gifenc.setLoopCount(looped ? 0 : 1);
gifenc.setUniformDelay((int) Math.round(100 / frames_per_second));
gifenc.encode(out);
Thanks in advance.
