Brush Tool with Edit Multiple Frames

I'm doing some masking with the brush tool. Each keyframe I'm drawing a bit more of the mask. My problem is if I go back to the first keyframe and paint something it doesn't appear on the other keyframes.
I thought I found the solution with Edit Multiple Frames, but it doesn't seem to work with the brush tool.

Editing multiple keyframes the way you want is not possible (all the other tools like drawing squares etc. will only appear on the last frame, even if mutiple edit is selected).
Want You want to do is going backward: say: your mask is ten frames long, now navigate to the tenth frame insert a keyframe (you should now have 1 keyframe on the first and one on the tenth, both empty); now draw the last stage of your mask on the tenth frame. Then hold down the Alt key and drag the 10th to the 9th frame. Erase the parts you don`t want hold down Alt-Key and drag the 9th to the eight frame and so on.

Trouble with editing multiple frames

Hi guys,
I'm new to CS4 - learnt my flash many years ago on Flash 5. So anyway I'm trying to get used to the new Motion Tween function and having a few problems.
I've created a simple animation where an object fades in, stays put for a moment and then fades out (one motion tween with 4 keyframes). I now want to resize the movie clip across all of these keyframes cos I got it wrong to start with.
So I click 'Edit Multiple Frames' (everything disappears but that's for another question), drag the onion thingy across the timeline and select the frames on the layer I want to edit. I then click on the free transform tool and drag the invisible movie clip (you can see the outline!) to make it larger.
Result? Well it seems to scale the first frame, but the others are all left at the original scale. Hence animation now shows object fading in whilst getting smaller etc. etc.
There must be an easy way to do this. I've tried the motion editor but you have to do it keyframe by keyframe. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ben

Modifying an entire animation with motion tweens is not as easy as it used to be.
Here's the best answer you are probably going to get.
from : http://flashthusiast.com/2009/10/06/scaling-and-moving-new-motion-tweens-in-flash-cs4/
Scaling an entire animation that does have Scale X or Scale Y animated.
If you have previously scaled anything in the tween, doing this is applied to the first keyframe and the tween would animate to the earlier scaling (the auto-keyframing feature can be a detriment in this situation, especially when it comes to scaling due to the percentages being reset - for this reason Motion Presets also won’t help). In this situation, I recommend scaling using the Motion editor:
1. Go to the Scale X and Y properties in the Motion Editor.
2. Press the Alt key while dragging the curve in each graph up and down. This scales the entire scale animation at the same time (same as edit multiple keyframes).
3. If you need to proportionally scale the motion path for the tween as well, select the path on the Stage and use Free Transform or enter a new value in the Transform panel.
I have had success with the above method, but from what I can tell you can only do one property at a time on one object at a time. So it is an awful amount of work.
As for step 2: while dragging the whole curve it seems the property value is very reluctant to snap to whole integers and I often see values like 200.35%.
Same thing applies for dragging property keyframes up and down in the motion editor. Is there a way to get nice clean numbers? I I want to scale something by 50% I don't want 49.83% I find myself often keying in these values by hand.
For me even though scale X and scale Y are "linked / locked / contstrained" It seems I get mixed results with this feature. Changing scaleX doesn't always change scaleY

What does the edit multiple frames option in the Timeline do?

or imagine you import large images sequence (200 hundred) and

The edit multiple frames options comes handy in such case...

Lock frame span when editing multiple frames?

I'm referring to the span of selected frames when in "Edit Multiple Frames" mode.
(I've attached an image of the thing I'm talking about.)
When I'm editing multiple frames, the multiple frame span "cursor"(?) always follows me around whenever I select a new frame on the timeline.
Is there a way to lock it in place or prevent it from constantly changing whenever a new frame is selected?

I think you're looking for the "anchor onion" option. Go to the button/menu directly to the right of the Edit Multiple Frames button, and choose "Anchor Onion" from the menu that pops up. That will keep the edit multiple markers stick in the same place.
Hope that helps,
Jen.

Error with Render Multiple Frames

I have this problem before and the only solution I had was to reinstall the WHOLE system and it was fixed that way (but manually install Adobe CC).
The problem is the next:
After Effects doesn't render anything if I have "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" enabled. If click "Render" and it keep there forever and it never render, sometimes it automatically stop with an error:
"After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing to file. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)"
This error shows up if I manually stop the rendering process.
If I disable "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" it render without any trouble, but that is not the point, I was able to render using that feature without any trouble before and I doubt I should have any trouble with my current specs.
When I close AE, multiple "aeselflink" keep running about 15% each one.
What I'm aware off:
- I have the latest After Effects version from the Creative Cloud.
- I have quicktime installed, since It comes in the core of OSX.
- I have fixed my permissions.
- I have deleted ALL the Adobe folders from "Preferences" Library folder.
- I have reinstalled After Effects 2 times.
- Adobe Media Encoder renders without any trouble
- I have tried to render .mov, tiff sequences, mpeg, flv, all with the same results.
Using OSX 10.8.3 with 32GB RAM and i7 processor (4 cores with 8 cores running with hyper threading).
Thanks in adnvace.
Here is a video:

Stock answer no. 1: You have installed a CoDec (or Quicktime Component) that is not safe for MP rendering and messing up things. Could be an audio device driver, something liek a screen recording software or speech-to-text tool, could be Skype or similar even. check that and remove the relevant QT extensions/ diable them.

Brush tool with a dell desktop touchscreen

Does anyone know how to use the touchscreen on a desktop to draw with the brush tool in adobe photoshop elements? I can use the mouse to draw, but I cannot use the touchscreen. My touchscreen works well in Microsoft Paint so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem. Thank you.

PSE does not support touch editing. You can use various touch actions like Zoom in/out, Rotate and Pan, but cannot edit.

Problem using Brush tool with layer mask in Photoshop CC.

Using Photoshop CC, working on a layer mask. Using the Brush tool to paint white to show the effect works like normal. Painting black has no effect. Just started doing this in the last two days.

Check you Brush blending mode setting in the tools option bar.

Trouble with Selecting Multiple frames at once

Adobe says, that you can select a group of frames, edit 1 frame from the group, and it will apply that for the rest of them.
In order to do this, it says have one frame selected, the Shift-click another one.
I had a frame selected, and then I shift-clicked another. Nothing is highlighting.
What am I doing wrong?

In the ANIMATION (FRAMES) panel, when I click on one, then Shift click on another one I get all of them in between.
I hate to ask the obvious question, but did you try the other Shift key?
Can you Control click and select a single additional frame?
Have you tried clicking on all different parts of the frames?
Perhaps posting a screen grab showing what your state of affairs when you're trying to select frames would be helpful.
And of course, there's always the good ol' fallback: Reset Photoshop preferences to defaults.

Edit Multiple Frames

I am working on a flash intro for a customer, and i've
noticed a spelling error that continues through approx. 200 frames.
Is there a way I can edit all of the frames at the same time and
just correct the spelling error once? I tried selecting all of the
frames and that didn't work...

If its on its own layer, it should not have more than one
keyframe. Anyway, you can use find and replace to fix it. Just use
"replace all". But, you need to stop it from being on more than one
keyframe...

Brush tool with vector mask

I have Photoshop CS2 and I am trying to "fix" a photo. I'm using a tutorial,and it worked on a previous photo but seems to have quit on me.
I made a new layer from the original layer, used filter> other> high pass (set to 3.5) then image> adjustments>desaturate. Inverted the layer added a vector mask and inverted that as well. I set the blending mode to overlay, and the foreground color to white.
When I go to paint over the skin, nothing happens. I'm not sure if I have changed some setting accidentally or what, like I said, this did work for me earlier, but doesn't now. When I hide the original layer, there is nothing!! I'm not very proficient in any area of photoshop, so if someone has an idea about what I've done, the more specific you can be the better!
I've closed the program and reopened it and it still does not work. I'm not sure what else to do!
thanks for any help!!!
http://www.photoshoptalent.com/photoshop-tutorials/how-to-smooth-a-skin.php?p=2
this is the tutorial I'm using, I'm on step 10.

Is your brush set to normal blending? Opacity of brush at something reasonable (10-100%)? Opacity of overlay layer at 100%?
Try re-inverting the mask and see if the "blurred effect" reappears. If it doesn't, then something is wrong with the overlay layer. Your steps seem OK (except the vector mask ;) ).

Is there a way to add an outline to a shape made using brush tool with Actionscript 3.0?

I'm animating a character. I've made body parts by making a rectangle, removing the line outline, then adding extra sides by holding the Alt key and dragging out to make the shape I desire. I prefer not to make all the shapes I make into symbols because I want to 'Shape Tween' certain parts. One thing I do want however is an outline on that shape, but not the 'Line tool' type of line if that makes sense? An outline that is made by another shape by use of code! Can this be done?

Have you tried the ink bottle tool (click and hold the Paint Bucket and you should see it)?
Note that you can't reference objects through code that you can't refer to. You may be able to dig through the display list and find the Shape and apply code to it, but I think that Shapes get combined and composited in ways you might not expect. In addition, you may find that Shapes get replaced while animating.

Help: I can't right-click on tools or use brush tools with left-click

Like a problem I have tell in my title.
I don't know it's about a problem of my mouse or of the software.
Please help me. Thank you so much!

In Windows there's a way to reverse the left and right mouse buttons via the Mouse section in the Windows Control Panel.

Problem with Wacom Tablet and Brush Tool

When using the brush tool with an Intuos 5 tablet (mostly to edit layer masks), PS will become unresponsive to pen input - that is, I can't draw. The cursor moves, and I can switch tools with the keyboard, but pressing with the pen to tablet does not register. If I click with the mouse, it will register. If I use the spacebar to get the grabber hand then click and drag, the pen will again become responsive. If I click on a palette with the pen, I can draw again.
I have been in touch with Wacom, and at their suggestion, I have:
1. Downgraded the driver to the previous version.
2. Reinstalled the driver.
3. Connected the tablet directly to the computer rather than using a hub or wireless kit
This problem also occurred on my previous computer (mac pro 8x2.8ghz, os 10.8)
When using the same tablet with my laptop, the problem does not occur, nor does it occur when using a Bamboo tablet on the Mac Pro.
I don't see the problem occurring with other tools, but I don't use them as frequently.
One other thing I should mention is that I'm working on very large files (2-6G) but do have 64G of memory installed.
Currently using:
Mac Pro 8x2.93ghz
Mac OS 10.9.1
PS 13.0.6
I've been back and forth with Wacom via email for about a mothh, and I suspect they are out of troubleshooting options. They suggest the problem is with PS, but I'm not really sure.

Hi CoGordo4,
Make certain you have "New Art Has Basic Appearance" checked in the Appearance Panel menu.
Also realize that the "Basic" brush, isn't really a brush at all. It simply removes all brush appearances from a stroke.

Draw animated circle with brush tool in Flash

Hello all,
I need to make a circle with a brush tool so that it looks like a child draws it. If I make a dot with the brush tool on the first frame and a circle on the 15th frame and then create shape tween between those frames it looks stupid, like the circle grows itself.
Is there any possibility of making such a thing except for drawing it per frame?
Thanks
Julia

I'm just asking what is the method to draw a circle with a brush that you can see it animated - I mean the process of drawing. For now the only thing I know is to draw every small piece of it frame by frame but I suppose there is a better method.
