Apply a layers style to all frames in an animation?

Hi so what i've done it imported a video to frames.
I've added some text to go on every frame. But when i edit the texts style (outline etc) it only applies to one. I can't select all or some of the layers/frames for the text style to appear on.
Do I have to do it manually one by one?
Thanks in advance.

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Styles can be applied to multiple Layer in CS5 either from the Styles Panel or with Paste Layer Style (after Copy Layer Style naturally).

  • How do I apply the same effect to all frames in CS5 animation?

    I need to add lens flare to all frames at once - but it needs to be applied to the flattened image.  I don't want to have to flatten, click lens flare for each of the 70 frames seperately.
    Here is the gif and photos illustrating what happens if I select frame one - unflattened and flattened.  The spinning globe of course is the animation that is inserted into the surrounding jpeg: http://bobwoolcock.com/images/300_Jiminy-Glick.gif

    Could this filter not be applied to a separate black Layer, that sez to Blend Mode Screen and extended in the Animation Panel in Timeline Animation instead of Frame Animation?

  • How do I Apply the Same Style to All Frames of a GIF Animation

    Making a simple GIF. I have 8 Frames. Each Frame is a seperate Layer. I want to stroke all the frames in one shot. How can I do that?? Thanks

    thanks. I'll give some of that a try. I'm assuming I can apply a stroke to all the layers just by selecting them all and then doing Edit > Stroke (I think that's where strok lives, I'm not in front of Photoshop at the moment.) I don't understand "reapply those layers as frames", but I'll see if I can figure it out. Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.

  • Add static background image to all frames of gif animation

    First, I'm not a fireworks regular. I use it when I have to to get something done (mostly web optimazations). I would use it more but, frankly in many cases the UI is counter intuitive to everything else adobe makes.
    Here is my problem...
    I need to add (not replace) a static background to ALL existing frames(states) in a fireworks gif animation (with alpha) , the end product gif will be an element in the Edge web animation...details
    I have an animated seq of a rotating object that was created in 3ds max and rendered as a png seq with alpha.
    I opened the SEQ "as animation" in fireworks. I set the frame rate. It plays fine. So far so good....
    I imported an image that I want to be BEHIND the animated seq on ALL frames. I tried puting it on a sub layer behind, i tried puting it on it's own layer behind, but it ONLY shows on the first frame (state).
    I tried using "share with all states" but it replaces the SEQ images already on the "states" instead of adding it behind them like in the arrangement of the layers.
    So first, can this be done and if so how?
    Second, why is this process so counter intuitive in fireworks? I mean if a layer is behind something then it should be a simple button click or check box etc to say "show on all frames (states)", you know like any other product adobe makes. Even "image ready" made more sense than this.  My thought process was that since I needed to end up in fireworks to create and optimize the gif that i should be able to put it together there also but it's turning out to be a lot harder than it should. I guess I can just composite my elements in AE (which is a piece of cake compared to fireworks) and then render another SEQ that I import to fireworks to create the optimized gif. While I'm a fan of the "creative suite" concept, one of my biggest complaints about the "suite" is the lack of master oversite so the common functions, keyboard shortcuts, and fundimental UI concepts are consitant accross all the apps so it functions as a "suite" and not just a collection of seperate applications. I know that demanding that all applications follow certian rules would slow development, in the long run it would make it a lot easier for the end user to spend more time being "creative" and less time trying to figure out why something doesn't work like it does in all the other apps. Just my $.02
    Thanks for any help and or explaination

    Thanks for the response.
    You know I tried that exact thing the only difference being I didn't change the layer names. So not naming the layers would keep that from working ?? Also as you eluded to draging layers to position them in fireworks is a delicate operation. It always seems to take 2 or 3 times to get it to drop where you want it. I named the layers and it works as you said.  Unfortunately I was really pressed for time so I had already given up on fireworks and just composited the SEQ with the BG layer in AE and kicked out another PNG SEQ and then open that "as animation" in Fireworks and then optimized and exported as a gif. So there are allways several ways to do things.
    Thanks again,

  • How to select and edit all frames in an animation?

    I created a short animation for the first time yesterday, and I ended up drawing a few frames ouside the parameters of the stage. Now I want to adjust the position of the whole composition so that it all fits on the stage. Is there a way, like in photoshop with seperate layers, to select every frame and move them all simultaneously? Thanks.

  • Does cs6 allow you to select ALL frames in a document?

    I am doing a wedding book.  So I have many image frames on each page.
    I want to add a border (stroke) to all these frames.  But to my surprise, it appears that the Select All command only selects the frames in the current spread.  I did a bit of research here and on the net and it seems that, at least for the previous versions, there is no way to select all frames in a document.  This seems very odd to say the least.
    Does cs6 allow you to do this now?  Or is there a workaround to quickly add a stroke to all frames in a document?
    Thank you for any help.
    LD

    Unfortunately no, but there's a trick you can use. Shapes drawn with the sahpe tool DO accept default settings, so you can use the shape tools instead of the frame tools and place images in them, but that probably doesn't help you at this point.
    It actually should be pretty easy to apply an object style to all frames by script -- one or two lines I would think. You can ask over in InDesign Scripting
    It might also be possible to use find/change. I just checked, and yes, you can search for the [None] object style and change all, so that may be the best approach.

  • How to Apply A Font Style in Mail?

    This seems like a simple question, but I can't seem to find an answer by searning this forum.
    I'm new to Mail (recently converted over from Entourage). Quite often, the e-mails I compose are a hodge podge of cut and pastes from other messages and documents. The result is a mix of fonts and font formats.
    I would like a simple way to highlight all of the text in a document and apply a single style. Essentially, I want a way to apply a single style to all of the text in a mail message.
    I can't seem to find this in Mail. I've tried to "apply" the default style using the Format --> Style ... menu, but that doesn't work as expected (I don't think it changes anything). Looking up "Style" in the Help menu brings up nothing of help.
    Any suggestions?

    you could also select Verdana 12pt as your Fixed-width font and your Message font in preferences under fonts/colors, then check the box that says "use fixed-width font for plain text messages"
    then you could select your text command-A, then Shift-Command-A (to convert to plain text) which would convert everthing to verdana 12pt, then if you wanted rich text message again, just press Shift-Command-A again and it will stay with Verdana 12pt but be a rich text message.
    This would only be 2 and at the most 3 key combos with no mouse clicks to achieve what you mentioned in your previous post.

  • How to  load frames of an animated gif

    Hi,
    is it possible to load all frames of an animated gif ?
    Best Regards
    Thorsten

    Without an SSCCE , I'm only guessing, but you could try:
    Use an ImageIcon , which animates GIFs automatically.
    or
    Use an ImageReader , which has a getNumImages() method, and other methods that return certain frames of a GIF image.
    and

  • Apply different font styles in single text frame

    hi all
    how can i apply different font styles in a single text frame using indesign script ?
    for example :
    "dasdnasndasndlasndnasdlasdasdas"
    may i know is it possible to do that and how to do that ?
    thanks

    You can set (as well as read) every single property of any text range with scripts. This is javascript; it assumes you text cursor is inside a frame with some text.
    * Setting some specific characters to a color:
    app.selection[0].parentStory.characters.itemByRange(5,10).fillColor = "Red";
    * Change the font of words:
    app.selection[0].parentStory.words[3].appliedFont = "Arial\tBold";
    * .. or just the style:
    app.selection[0].parentStory.lines[2].fontStyle = "Italic";
    * .. or any other attribute (this one requires you to have at least 5 characters selected):
    app.selection[0].characters[5].underline = true;
    Of course these operations are not limited to something you select; they work the same with any text frames you can refer to.
    app.activeDocument.textFrames[1].paragraphs[2].appliedCharacterStyle = "charstyle";

  • Editing video in Photoshop - apply to all frame

    I'm editing some HD video in Photoshop.  I have a filter (Gaussian blur in an area selection) that I want to apply to all frames of the video.
    I can do it by selecting each layer at a time (it works, but painfully slow) but how do I apply the same filter to all layers at once?
    Also, sometimes I am working on a layer and by selecting it or turning view on or off (or something) all of a sudden, all of the animation is the same frame.  I don't know what happens, but I have to start over.
    Last question: what is "Propgate first frame?"
    Thanks

    You may find more productivity by applying this blur in your video editor.

  • Applying object style to all objects in a project?

    In Cp4, it was possible to change the style of an object and then apply those changes throughout the entire project.
    How is this accomplished in Cp5?
    I have set up a default style for captions but it seems like I can only change the style of individual captions (one at a time) in the properties of each caption.
    Is there a hidden "apply to all" feature in Cp5?
    Thank you

    Hello Lilybiri,
    I really tried to follow your example but it simply did not work for me.
    >Supposing  I already have a lot of Text Captions and decide to change their style,  which can include font,
    >caption style, alignment, colors....
    Yes.
    >All  Text Captions up to that moment did use the Default Caption Style as it  was set in
    >the Object Style Manager...
    >If you want to change object styles for future projects you  have to set them in the
    >Object Style Manager without any project opened.
    This is problem one. I have one standard caption style for all my courses. I have changed the default in the Object Style Manager with and without a project opened. The change simply doesn't stick! Additionally, I have exported a new style to a .cps.
    Let me pick through your instructions:
    1. First, I open a project.
    2. I open the Object Style Manager and notice that the default caption style is back to the original Adobe default (Adobe blue).
    3. I import my new caption style. The style is called NewTextCaptionStyle.
    4. On the first slide, I select the first text caption (in Adobe Blue).
    >I then change one Text Caption  to  the new style and a + sign appears next to the
    >Default Caption Style as you can see in the screenshot.
    How do you come to that?  The moment I go to the first slide and select the first text caption, it already shows: "+[Default Caption Style]" I have not changed the caption style yet. If I select my desired caption style (NewTextCaptionStyle) from the pull down menu, there is no "+" symbol. I cannot follow this step.
    In an attempt to interpret your instructions, I went back to the Object Style Manager and changed the default caption style to what I need.
    Okay, now the [Default Caption Style] is exactly what I require.
    Back at the first slide, I select the first caption (which is still Adobe Blue). Now, I can follow your first step.
    >There are 2 quick ways to proceed now:
    >1. If  you will not use the original Default Caption Style anymore in this  project (it will have no consequences
    >for other projects), use the Save  icon (yellow highlighted) to save the changes and have a new
    >Default  Caption Style that will automatically be applied to all Text Captions  that are already created and
    >new Text Captions will get the same style  too.
    I will follow your first method.
    1. I select the Save icon. [Save Changes to Existing Style]
    ... it doesn't work. ????
    I wonder... the project that I am working with were converted from Cp4 recordings. I wonder if that is causing my grief?

  • How do I apply the blur filter to all my layers at the same time?

    Hi I'm working on a background for a web page and I want to try how different filters are going to affect all the layers. Is it possible to apply a filter to all the layers without flattening the file first? Thanks very much,
    Cathy

    Subject: How do I apply the blur filter to all my layers at the same time?
    Hello!
    There is no need to flatten the file, but you can create a layer that merges all the content of the image, and apply the filter on that layer.
    Target the topmost layer, by holding the Option and . (period) keys, then create a merged copy by holding down Command Shift Option E.

  • Can I do this with CSS applied to layers?

    I'm very new to Dreamweaver (one week), so I apologize if my
    question is
    elementary.
    This is what I' like to do:
    I'm working with the design interface, not directly coding.
    I have many frames on a page and I'd like to apply the same
    CSS to all of
    them so they all take the same color, border, typography...
    but of course
    NOT the same position! Also, later I can modify all of them
    by just making
    changes to the CSS (for exemple, the background color).
    But the CSS affects the positions of all the layers. I tried
    the "stable"
    option in positioning but the layers still move (in another
    way but move).
    Is this possible? How can I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    Frames have no significance or meaning to CSS.

  • Multiple record data merge into paragraph styles-applies the wrong style

    Hi, I've been working on this project for sometime and everytime I manage to get one part of the workflow to work another seems to break. My agency publishes catalogs in multiple formats: large-print, audio, braille, and HTML. I've been trying to redesing our work process so that the catalogs will be laid out from merged data out of comma-separated file. The data merges have worked fairly well in Word, but InDesign is a challenge. I'm merging multiple records on a page, like a mailing label. The paragraphs need to be formatted and I'm trying to apply a paragraph style to them. After much work, I think I've finally got the data merge to work correctly, but the wrong paragraph styles are applied. I'm going to apply a new master page to the data once the data is merge that uses the paragraph styles for text variable running headers and I need to build a table of contents based on the paragraph styles so I need this to work. Attached are some screenshots.
    Master page set up for data merge with paragraph styles:
    Here is the merged document with the wrong paragraph styles applied:
    I have only a few weeks to get this process ironed out to keep to our rigorous production schedule. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
    thanks,
    Lina

    I don't remember this happening in past versions. But I mainly use XML. And a quicky test converting your file to XML worked fine (and besides, it ends up all in continuous text frames...).
    I don't do much GREP. But you can do this via a Find/Replace.
    First, in your main document, you can delete the tags--but do this on a second copy of your working file!
    Change your Content Placement options to not remove blank lines (these are in the Datamerge panel).
    Then after the merge, change the format of the two blank lines at the beginning of the records without the two lines of data:
    Note the Change Format style is changing those two paragraphs to Title.
    Then rerun the find to remove the two blank paragraphs.
    I suspect this can be done easier. I am sitting awaiting an appointment and cannot go much further than this for now, sorry.

  • Copy roto selection to same position in all frames

    I am using AE CS5 in Production Premium. I also have moca AE 3.1 that may be a better way of trying to isolate an object using planar tracking.  I need to replace an item that appears in the same position on all frames of a clip.  This is a previous problem I covered some time ago involving a spiders web that was fixed on an 8mm film gate.  As a result, the web appears on the top left hand corner of every frame in the clip.  Perhaps a different approach will work.  This is complicated because the background behind the item changes such that the boundaries of the selected item become blurred.  I will need to further isolate sections of the clip where there is similar background interference, e.g. a background of mostly dark trees in the top left may to be passable.  There may be a way I can gradually replace the web with background that appears in following frames as the background moves by using duplicate layers.
    How can I roto select the item in the first frame and copy the boundaries of the selection to all frames or is there a better way of doing this?

    How can I roto select the item in the first frame and copy the boundaries of the selection to all frames or is there a better way of doing this?
    You don't. You're thinking in wrong terms here and will work yourself to death if you follow that approach. Instead export a frame, isolate the pattern as a clean greyscale image in Photoshop. Then you can either use it as a matte to punch out the disturbances directly or by creating proper transparency, possibly in a pre-composition by using it as a luma matte on a white solid, as an input for an adjustment layer. Then you can eitehr just fill in the blanks with a copy of your footage that you have slightly shifted in position or in the second case apply effects liek Minimax, Matte Choker and varius blurs to fill the gaps. CC VEctor Blur with the transparency channel as the input will do miracles to "sew" such stuff together. Of course you might also consider RevisionFX' RE:Fill as sort of a canned and pimped plug-in tool set for these kinds of things...
