Can't Smooth Out Keyframe Movement

I'm trying to move a photograph aroung smoothly. I can Ease Out at the start of the move and Ease In at the end, but I change direction in the middle and it never looks smooth. I have adjusted the Temporal and Spatial Interpolations to Linear, Bezier, Auto Bezier, and Continuous Bezier, but they all look jerky in different ways. All the Beziers look the same.

Project settings, source material, dimensions, OS, version, compression of stills, etc. etc. Number of keyframes, spacing of keyframes, export settings used, playback unit used, connection to TV, TV used, and on and on. All relevant details please, all steps you took, where it went wrong, what you did to resolve the issue......

Can you smooth out a brush stroke?

I am using an animated brush stroke to provide the Indiana Jones look on top of a picture of a google map for a trip I took. I can draw the brush stroke and set a key frame on the "end" attribute so that it paints on the stroke, but the stroke is not as smooth as I would like it and I can't find a way to edit the vertices of the brush stroke and can't apply the smoother to it either. Once you draw a brush stroke, can you smooth it out? Also, since I drew the brush stroke on top of my layer, is there a way to put a shadow underneath the brush stroke?
Thanks in advance!

I'd use a shape layer and the Trim Paths path operation rather than a paint stroke.
There's a link to a video tutorial showing how to do this in the
"Alter shapes with path operations" section of After Effects Help on the Web.
But, if you are using a paint stroke, then you can decrease the value of the Spacing property to make the strokes more smooth and continuous. See the
"Brushes and the Brushes panel" section of After Effects Help on the Web.
[Edit: Oh, I just realized that just meant "smooth" as in having fewer and less sharp turns. For this, you should copy the Path property of the paint stroke, paste it into the Position property of a temporary dummy layer, run the Smoother on that motion path, copy the motion path, and then paste that into your paint path. If you just want to edit the path a little bit, then you can copy it into a mask path and use the mask path editing tools and techniques. David Wigforss has a tip about this
on this page. The basic thing to take away from this is that you can copy and paste between the various kinds of paths and use the tools for one to help you with the other. (See
"Create a mask or shape from a motion path".)]
Regarding the shadow: There are many ways to do this. The first that comes to my mind for the paint stroke is to duplicate the stroke, make it a dark grey, reduce its opacity, and offset its position slightly from the other stroke. (Each paint stroke has its own Transform properties, so you can just go into the duplicate stroke's Transform property group and add a little to its Position values.) If you decide to go with the shape layer option, you could do essentially the same thing or you could use a Drop Shadow
layer style.

How can I find out when movies on some On Demand Channels will no longer be available on Demand?

I have been a customer of Verizon's FIOS TV service for 4 months now and I enjoy watching "On-Demand" movies and TV shows. For some channels, like HBO On Demand and Showtime On Demand, the onscreen guide clearly states how long a program will be available for "on demand" viewing. For example, the film "A Single Man" will have at the end of the description a notice saying "Ends 3/24" or whenever the date is.
However, there are some "On Demand" channels like Starz on Demand, EPIX on Demand, Encore on Demand, and Independent Film Channel (IFC) on Demand which don't state when the program they are showing on demand will cease being available on demand.
There must be a listing or website or some other method of indicating when programs on these channels will cease being available to watch "on demand".
Please let me know where this information is located and how to access it.
Thank you.

Thank you for your responses. I have some follow-up questions and I hope you or someone else reading this can answer them.
Film11: I have never seen the "inverted triangle" that you mention in your reply. Where in the onscreen guide do you see this triangle? Can you please give me an example of a movie currently on demand which is displaying this triangle so I can find it on my own?
Spacedebris: Is it really true that Starz, Encore, EPIX, and IFC don't know themselves how long a movie will be available on demand? I can imagine them extending the time a film will be available on demand if it is popular, but surely there must be some minimum time period they put it on demand.
There has to be some way of finding this information and it should be readily available to subsribers who need to prioritize what they watch so as not to miss out on watching an on-demand film they wanted to see because they lacked the information when it would be pulled off-schedule.
Thanks again for any help provided.

How do you smooth out keyframes?

I used the record button and tracked text with a object on the video.
When the text moves across the canvas it is jittery because of so many keyframes.
How do I fix that?
Also how do I select a bunch of keyframes at once on the canvas? Every time I tried to select multiple keyframes it moved the video underneath.
Thanks

I got it.
I put a Average Parameter on the position of the text.
It took away all the keyframes and now the text travels across the screen smoothly.

How can I clear out the movies?

In itunes, I have selected my Itouch from the left side of the screen.
in the main screen, at the top, it says summery, apps, music, movies, TV Shows, etc.
I have selected Movies.. but there are no movies on the Hard drive. I deleted them all.
But the listing below still shows them.
How do I delete or clear that listing? Any ideas?
thanks/

How can I smooth out the pixelation of my drawing?

I’m trying to create a line drawing effect similar to image 1 below .I have studied numerous you tube videos but my images end up looking to pixilated (see image 2). Image 1 has more of a that line drawn look of a pen tool. I would like to be able to run the effect as an action.

One thought... You could use the Photoshop CS5 Mixer Brush and paint over the lines.
Work at a higher resolution. A tablet would no doubt help; I have only a mouse.

How do i synch my pdf/books to my library. I was able to synch my ipod touch purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.

How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?

thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:)

How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

How can I find out the date of a movie I am trying to pre-order if the date is not available/showing in the "manage pre-order" section?

Thanks so much for your reply King_Penguin. No, sadly there is not indication of the expected release date on the film, it's no where to be found. I have also tried to look in other places online, but no luck. I guess your latter statement jives more with my situation, that being the studio/rights-holder hasn't feel inclined to provide the date.

I want to transfer an audiobook and a movie from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4S, and can't figure out how. I went to "Help" and it said after connecting the two devices I should "Click Apps," but I can't find anything labeled "Apps" to click. Help?!!

If you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, that might make it easier to navigate.
Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of the screen there should be a series of tabs which you can use to select what to sync to the phone. If it's an audiobook then it should appear on the Books tab for selecting/syncing, and films will be on the Movies tab. When you've got the audiobook on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app (you might need to tap the '...' tab at the bottom of the Music app to see it).

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Wher

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

When I put my iphone 4s into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone beeps/makes a tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise.

I have a strange problem. When I put my iphone 4S into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone makes a beep noise/tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise. It doesn't sound like any of my regular applications. Maybe it is the lock noise but I can't tell for sure. More movement makes more beeps. Even walking with my phone in my pocket creates beeps. The IOS is 7.0.4 (11B554a). Anyone else have this crazy problem?

I filmed several takes of the same scene for a movie. I trimmed the best clips from each take and put them into the project screen. However, I can't figure out how to make it flow seamlessly as one scene. Can someone please help me??

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck

Why can't the APPLE TV use AIRPLAY SPEAKER-OUT for movies/videos?

I can't find one good explanation on why the Apple TV can't use the Airplay Speaker-Out for Movies/Video content; only for audio/music. Does anyone have any insight into this?
For example, I have a video on my Macbook Pro (or my iPad or my iPhone) and I can stream the video via the Airport Express to my 2nd gen Apple TV, but I can't stream the audio of this video from my Apple TV back to the Airport Express and the speakers attached to it. If I had digital speakers connected to the Apple TV I assume it wouldn't be an issue, but at the moment, I only have analog speakers connected to the Airport Express... and I CAN do this with music only content, but then it becomes silly because in that case, I can just as easily stream music directly to the Airport Express from my chosen device (iPhone, et al.) without going through the Apple TV, but for video/movies, you need the Apple TV for the video; yet you can't use the Speaker-Out for the audio of that video and it just doesn't make sense, unless I am missing something...
Any help is greatly appreciated (a google search came up with nothing useful at all.)

It's not a flippant answer, no-one here will know for sure why Apple have chosen to do this. So in light of the fact that you won't get a definitive answer here, I suspect it doesn't matter because you aren't going to change anything, you just need to accept it.
FWIW, I don't think licensing issues have anything to do with it. I think Apple expect you to have a sound system connected by either HDMI or optical and on that basis any connection via an airport express would be in another room and why would someone in another room want to listen to a movie without being able to see it.
Apple differentiate themselves from others by providing features that everyone wants, they don't cripple their creativity by catering for the few like other companies. I'm sorry but I suspect you are one of the few here.
