Can I create a shape in Photoshop and use it as a mask?

I've made a leaf in photoshop - white on black, but it's still in layers at this point. I'm trying to bring the leaf into motion, and use it as a mask so I can run video behind it. I've been able to mask around the video in my leaf shape, but all of the black is surrounding it, and I can't see the video in the layers underneath it.
It's basically a "fall" theme commercial, using a digital juice fall background, and then I want my video to "fall" (get it?) in leaves as well. Make any sense?

Please press the or buttons over the posts that warrant it...

Can I create a "stage" in Animate and use it in Muse to create a responsive site?

I want to use Muse to build my site and Animate for some elements. I need a responsive site. Muse does not do that but Animate does. That is crazy! How can I combine them? There has got to be a way. Someone smarter than I has figured it out I am sure, I am hoping they chime in.
Can I create the "stage" in Animate and use it in Muse?

You are probably right but I was looking for the ease in creating only one and letting it do the work.
Now that I think about it....my site will have video embedded and a link for Ustream. That won't work on a mobile device if it is part of a responsive design will it?
Oh, there is soooo much to all of this!
Newbie anxiety!
This is why I chose Muse and Animate, I am too new to code it on my own.

When i create a circle in photoshop and import it to Motion 5, it becomes more of an oval shape than a circle in motion.

When i create a circle in photoshop and import it to Motion 5, it becomes more of an oval shape than a circle.even though the size of the document i worked in photoshop is the same as that in motion 5. which is Pal D1/DV 720 x 576.
Thanks

hi,
check the pixel aspect ratio in both the photoshop file and Motion project and make sure they match too. Or simply resize in Motion until round again. or even easier create the circle in Motion directly.

How to create these shapes in photoshop?

For my PhD research, I would like to construct 3 kinds of images on photoshop. I want to transfer it to the piece of glass where I will conduct some experiments. If you please help me to construct such kind of images on photoshop, I will remain thankful to you:
Image 1:
This is non uniform kind of a pattern in which different shapes of pentagons/ hexagons etc are situated at different intervals.
Image 2:
This is the regular pattern. I dont know how to create it. Also if I can change the thickness of the black shade, what I need to do?
Image 3:
This is a pattern in which we want to connect the different size balls to the neighbouring ball. Please note that the thickness of the line is varying and the size of the balls is also different... Please note also that I want to populate this configuration randomly.

They are probably all better done in Illustrator first.
I will post some examples of what you might do tomorrow.
For instance though not quit right the technique is good.
1. I drew a rectangle with gray fill no stroke.
2 Then rasterized the rectangle
3. Applied a Object>Object to Mosaic and chose to delete the raster
4 Applied a roughen effect to it
5. expanded the object and made some manual moves for some of the resulting objects
6 Made a black rectangle large enough to encompass the art and sent it to the back
7 I selected all and with the pathfinders minus the front.
and used it for a clipping mask
8. Made another rectangle
You can now probably bring this into Photoshop and so some more work on it and you are fine.
Now you will have to experiment with the adjustments for the Mosaic and the roughen and might want to add an effect or two.
Oh yes I also used the alignment panel to redistribute the objectsI am not certain that is hepful.
I may have gone too far with the roughen filter.

I created an image in Photoshop and saved it as the PSD file. Now when I try and open it it says it is not compatible with my version. How could this be when I created it in this version?

That depends on why it won't open. Most of the time it means the file is corrupted and unlikely to be recovered. If you saved it right after adding or copying a LOT of layers - then it might just be the layer limit and we can attempt to recover it.

When you write Apply a layer what do you mean Script will select layer by name. A new document will have a background layer or a normal layer do you want to rename that there is onle one layer. Or do you want to add a layer by name what kind?
thanks for answer. you know like background layer. for example when you are generating web buttons you are preparing background layers. it will select a layer like that.
also can you post full script here if possible ? thank you.

Can't Install cc 2014 InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator

I have tried several times to install the 2014 updates through cc for InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I get an installation failed message, Learn more simply says Installation encountered an error. Please restart your system and try again. (15)
Restarting and trying again does not help.

Hi Gianfi,
I used time machine and took the program folder from before the last Apple update (in april) and replaced it with the new one.
the same I did with the application support folder. (Go to the library folder on the harddisk, in the library folder you have to open the applications support folder and look for the Adobe folder.
Replace that folder with the older one from before the latest Apple update using time machine.)
That helped me.
When you are not using Time machine you can try to reinstall your MacOS but I didn’t try that myself.
I hope this will help you.

I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive. Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives? So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

This should help you out after you have created the new user account. You are trying to make it much more complex than it needs to be. Just follow the directions in:

How can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my apps?

I'm sharing an iCloud and iTunes account and want to have my own. Can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my contact list? If I keep the existing iTunes account with the new iCloud acct, can I reload my apps without purchasing them again? I understand I can create a new iTunes acct afterwards.

OK, so you can create a separate Apple ID for yourself that you use for your Messages, iCloud, Mail, FaceTime, etc. and keep the one that you have your Apps on as your iTunes "Family" Account.
Before you set up your new Apple ID, be sure to delete your iCloud account from your device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the account. Save your Contacts on your phone so you can merge them with your new iCloud account. Your notes, and Photos will still be on your old iCloud account, but if you want to keep any of your photos on your new iCloud account, it would be a good idea to import all of your photos to your computer first, so you can selectively download them to your device. (Note: only your Photo Stream will go away when you delete your iCloud account. Your Camera Roll will stay in place. It's just a good idea to back up that Camera Roll to a computer or to your new iCloud account immediately once you have set it up.
You then would set up a brand new Apple ID for you under Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
Once you get it set up, go into your devices and sign off the following:
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your "Family" Apple ID and Sign Out
Settings>Facetime, click on your Apple ID and sign out
You will leave your "Familiy" Apple/iTunes ID signed on on the iTunes & App Store, becasuse you willl continue to share your iTunes account with the family. Here is a little more info about using two Apple IDs:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Once you have your new ID set up, go back into Messages and FaceTime and sign back in with your new ID
Also, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID, and be sure to "Merge" your contacts into your new iCloud account.
Post back with any questions!
Cheers,
GB

Hey Hindfromlondon,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.
You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud. See:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
What is an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
and further down:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Regarding iCloud storage check out
iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
Take care,
Nubz
