Cat's Tail Motion- HELP

Greetings. I am new to AF. I need some help. I have a picture of a cat and two deer. I made a layer composition (one layer is the cat's tail) in Photoshop and saved it as a PSD file. Now I want to pull it into After Effects and put some motion in the cat's tail. I want to swing the cat's tail in either direction over a short time period. The problem I am having is, which effect to use for the motion and how to put the anchor point on the cat's tail, then rotate. Can anyone talk me throught this? At this point any help would really be appreciated Thank you Jeanne

Well, you could animate the rotation traditionally by setting the anchor point, and animating the z-rotation, but, if I were you, I'd absolutely use the Puppet Tool for this.

Tween and motion help!

Hi,
So my problem is this..
I really want to create an animation where writing just appears as it is being written/drawn and leads on to draw the sketch of someones face and carries on. (hope you understand that)
I know this must be done with tweens/motion but i cannot for the life of me figure out how!!!!.
If anyone can help i would really appreciate it.

player is a symbol that is classic tweened. It has to frames. The first is a still frame with a stop action. The second has been converted as a symbol to show the player move across the screen and back. When the attack button is clicked the player moves across the screen and back but it keeps on looping. If I add a stop action to the last frame it will move and comeback and stop but it will not move anymore when the button is clicked again.

Detect motion- help

Hello , I have two photography and I want to detect moviment in the photos, how I have to make, compare pixel by pixel or what?
Help me plis, and thanks

Hello , I have two photography and I want to detect moviment in the photos, how I have to make, compare pixel by pixel or what?There are about a thousand different ways you could do motion detection.
The easiest method would be to compute the number of pixels that are different in the two pictures, and then pick a threshold (if more than 10% of the image changes, determine there's motion present). That would be likely either be very senitive to noise, or it would miss subtle movements.
A slightly more robust method would be to threshold the image, and then diff the pixels. That would be less sensitive to noise, and would pickup on more subtle motions (you'd be able to set the threshold lower because you'd be more noise-resistent).
This question has nothing to do with JMF, so it's off-topic for discussion in this forum. I've posted the above information to get you started, but, you'll have to google for further help as this isn't the appropriate place to discuss this issue.

JavaScript File + tom-cat....HELP...URGENT....

Hi,
I am sorry i am crossposting, but i need to solve this ASAP...
I need to use JavaScript file in my application.
Can someone tell me where can i put my javascript file in tomcat.
Someone told me to put it in webapp.
SO i created a javascript folder in webapp.
I am calling like this.
<script language=JavaScript src='/webapps/JavaScript/GridSort.js'></script>
But somehow it can not find the js file.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I think they meant make a folder in the directory that your webapp is located.
Say your webapp is named MyWebApp then create a folder:
%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/MyWebApp/javascript/MyJsFile.js
Then in your jsp will locate the file with
<Script Language="JavaScript" src='/MyWebApp/javascript/MyJsFile.js'></Script>

Button Motion Help plz

Guys. How do I add motion (or a video file of maybe 4 sec) to a button in a menu in Adobe Encore CS5? I know how to do it for the main menu but any way I can say add a few clips to multiple buttons so they would loop a 5 sec video clip instead of showing me a black scene or a photo of the scene?

New Effect Keyframe Motion Help

I've added a new effect and am just trying to move something across the screen like I would in FCP.
The object starts at one point, I have clicked the 1st keyframe of the New Effect track, move the timeline to the last keyframe of the New Effect Track, and then drag the object where I want it on the screen.
This kind of works but the object goes backwards, meaning it starts where I want it to end and ends where I want it to finish.
How can I just get an object to go where I drag it and then stay there?

You need to tell us more specific information
What object are you using?
Which effects are you using?
How many total keyframes do you have?
Start from the beginning of your timeline and then hit Shift-K...click on the Effects tab in the Inspector and tell us what it says under the Active Parameters.
Hit shift-K again and tell us what it says under the active Parameters.
Do this for each keyframe then we can more specifically help you.

Slow Motion Help

Hello,
I am shooting HDV with Canon XH-A1 in 60i for slow mo shots. I bring it into JES de-interlacer to slow the footage down and now I want to convert it to 24p to bring it into a 24fps timeline in FCP. When I open the clip in Cinema Tools, it wont allow me to select conform. Anyone know why? Thanks.
Joe

Cinema Tools won't conform footage that is in the GOP format...that includes HDV and XDCAM. You need to convert it to ProRes or some other I-Frame format.

Help with "greyed out" option for Publishing a group of Parameters in Motion 5!

How do you group published parameters in Motion 5, so that you don't have one giant list of published options for Final Cut Pro X?
My main goal is To publish a compound parameter (a parameter with nested subparameters)
Looking through Motion Help, it should be as easy as clicking the little disclosure triangle on the right of the inspector, but the word "Publish" is greyed out...

I know I've looked at rigging, but based off the Motion Help Online Manual, It should be as simple as clicking on the option for publish and have nested subparameters...
Rigging is excellent, but more steps would be needed to do the same thing i believe...

Putting cat litter in a bag of cat litter after water damage- will it help

If you put your iphone 5 in a bag of cat litter will it help more than rice after water damage? if so, what kind????

http://discussions.apple.com/message/22464453#22464453
It doesn't matter as you didn't let your phone sit in the bag of rice long enough.
You just may need to pony up and go to the Apple store and buy an out of warranty iphone 5.

What does it take to learn Motion?

Hello everyone. I'm thinking about getting final cut pro, and motion comes along with the package. The thing is, I've never had a chance to use this program, and frankly I am not completely sure about what it does. So the question is, is it worth getting this software without even knowing what it does or how to use it.. and also how hard is it to learn?

well, it does have a "stage" and a "timeline", and you work with "keyframes". but the keyframes are not in the timeline
no, it's not really like flash. but if you taught flash yourself, you'll find it easy to start up with motion.
first you'll take presets and fiddle with those, check a bunch of tutorials, and slowly you'll master it.
that's what i'm doing right now
learning the ropes.
motion is completely new to me, and having a project where i need stuff that's possible with motion helps me learn this program.
just "fiddling around" won't bring you as far as actually having something to do and finding a way to do it.

Sap help

e need some changes to be done in SAP in Domestic and Imported Purchase orders, they are as follows:-
1.                   Increase decimal places to 3 for Domestic as well as for imported Purchase Orders,
2.                   When we add Excise duty or custom duty or if we give discount it add or less into the basic rate of material, it should be shown separately and should not deduct or add in Basic Rate of Material. Also when we print Purchase Order it should display the same details of Print. Eg.
Basic Rate                                     :-
Excise Duty                                    : - (% age wise or Value) if there
Custom Duty                                   : - (% age wise or Value) if there
Packing and Forwarding Charges      :- (% age wise or Value) if there
CST or VAT                                     :- (% age wise or Value) if there
Discount                                         :- (% age wise or Value) if there
3.                   Custom Duty should be added in condition type

Kerning Caution! It can kill your Motion file.

Kern carefully. There is a bug that can render your motion file un-openable!
I will describe it in detail here to see if anyone else can reproduce it. I was able to reproduce it consistently, even with a new file.
I wanted to adjust the beginning of a text line to closely line up to another text member. There are many ways to do this. In this instance I chose to kern the space before the first character of the text line in order to shift the entire line.
Don't do this! It will kill your motion file.
When I tried to render a movie (Share/Export Movie...) after making this adjustment, here is the error message.
I saved the file, hoping that restarting Motion would fix the problem. But the project file will not open.
Luckily I had a backup of the file. I did a bit of trouble shooting after this and found that this type of kerning would consistently kill the project file. This is a very nasty bug. There may be more like this so proceed with caution when kerning.

Hope you have reported this to Apple Tracy via the Motion Help menu to http://www.apple.com/feedback/motion.html
I will stay away from kerning for now, thanks for the heads up!

Motion path red line missing?

Hey.
I've been using Motion 1.0.1 for about a year now and everything has been going great. Today I had my first problem. When I opened up motion and added the motion path behavior to one of my objects, the red line did not appear. I have played around with all sorts of view setting, window options, and looked though "Motion Help" as well. Nothing I have seen has worked. I just can't figure out how to get the red line to appear again so that I can edit it and continue with my project.
Thanks for any help!
-----prismi

Ok. I've managed to be able to find the red line. It only appears if these conditions are fulfilled:
1) I have done command slash to show the overlays
2) When I control-click on the object to which I am adding the motion path I select "transform"
3) My pointer tool must be the topmost transform/select tool (shift s)
With all these the red line appears, but I can not edit it in any way. If I change any setting the line disappears.
