Complicated Indd-Animation (with Wallaby-workaround)

Relax ... i've read a lot of hints, DPS dont't support Indd-animations. So i tried to get a good result by converting the animation with the wallaby-tool and import the animation as a HTML5-Weblink in the overlay creator (local web-link).
Hmmm ... my english isn't very well and i've some problems to explain my problem. So i produced a short movieclip for showing my results before converting my Indd-animation and after the wallaby-workaround. The first part is the screen captured Indd-preview-panel. The second part is captured in the browser:
http://www.die-smirnoffs.de/dps/DPS-complicated-animation.mov
Could it be possible, DPS just can handle absolutley simple animations?
It looks like, the converting-process ignores the defined timings of my Indd-Settings. Some animations are lost/ignored, some not.
Bye -m-

Not a lot, unfortunately. But I do have a couple things you could try: The first is Hype, similar to Edge but limited to animation creation -- mostly used for menu creation in HTML5. Still great Though! It can be purchased on the Mac App Store here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hype/id436931759?mt=12
The second is called HTML Stacker. It is a plugin for InDesign that is fully compatible (and somewhat designed for) DPS. It has a lot of cool features too. Huge potential, but by the looks of it -- way too overpriced! (Ranging from $1100 - $7000+) They do offer a 30 trial though. Here is their website: http://www.htmlstacker.com/
You could try Adobe's Wallaby for converting Flash files, but it is still very buggy too.
Hope that helps! If you find any other alternatives, let me know!
Best Wishes,

  • DPS Animation with Wallaby

    Hi all,
    Anyone used wallaby to convert some basic indesign animation and use the resulting HTML files from Wallaby on your DPS publication? I just recently tried it and so far have not had any sucess, the HTML file appears but it just fades in and in indesign I had some text flying from the left and some from the right. I followed this tutorial to the teeth but no luck. http://digitalpublishing.tumblr.com/post/3898796141/animate-headlines-or-other-things
    Thanks.

    I have never used the zipped resources approach because my resources generally aren't shared across multiple articles. (Bob Bringhurst has explained when to use the zipped folder. Search for the thread.) When you make your web overlay or html stack first look at the index file in Safari. If possible upload the files to a server and look at them in Mobile Safari on your iPad. If all the images appear and the css and js work then you should be able to upload the folio.

    Hey everyoe,

I upgraded my Ram to 16GB LONG time ago and it's made a big difference but still the stuff I make is semi complicated/detailed I can't imagine this is the strength of my MBP I refuse to accept that. WIth that said HELP ME PLZ!!! I have deadlines and I dont know what else to do! Steve Jobs my life is your hands right now man...

    if you boot into Safe mode, log in, and run your graphic design and animation apps, do they run just as slowly then?

  • Troubles importing Flash 10 Animation with 3D Transform

    I am looking for any workaround/experiences for importing a Flash 10 animation with 3D transforms. Currently, doing this will wig out Captivate 4 and break the embedded animation in all sorts of ways. AS3 support in Captivate is turned on and the same animation will load and play correctly if the 3D transform is removed. All other Flash 10/AS3 possibilites work including motiosn graphs and filters.
    I find the 3D transform option of Flash CS4 to be one of the most powerful features ever introduced in Flash and would allow some incredible breakthrough design possibilities for my Captivate projects, if it would just support it! Any experiences with this issue welcomed. A bug report has been submitted also, but looking for a quicker remedy.

    Problem Resolved!
    I got this tip from Vikram (Adobe Support)
    1. Open your project having Flash Player 10 animations involving 3D transforms.
    2. Click the Edit menu and select Preferences.
    3. Select "Publish settings" under the "Project" section.
    4. Check "Animations" option under the "Externalize resources" section.
    5. Press OK.
    6. Now click the publish button.
    7. In the publish dialog, select Flash Player 10 from the "Flash Player version:" drop down.
    8. Click publish.
    (F4 preview may not work, so use preview in browser)
    Also, you may need to be wary of embedded scripted symbols as they may loose reference to the parent symbol after being embedded in yoru your CP4 project containing 3D transforms. My advice here is to try to script using as much object oriented js as possible in the main timeframe.
    I am using a combination of localConnect and ExternalInterface functions to control the 3D animation from captivate quiz buttons. This process adds a whole new level of interactivity and visual interest to your captivates!

  • Export animation with mp3 track to .mov file...movie sound tinny, hollow with a little reverb. How to fix?

    I'm exporting a 1 minute piece of animation with a great mp3 sound track to a .mov file. The .mov file's sound track is tinny, hollow with some reverb. I've used most high quality quicktime setting and all exports versions were not good. I using FlashCS6 and am on a iMac using OSX 10.9.5. I have also converted the mp3 to a .wav and aiff file and exported both with the animation with the same results. Any help help or workaround to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the info Rob. The sound plays fine in Flash. The export settings are: 16-bit stereo 44.100kHz H264. Could the video H264 compression be the problem? Without the H64 compression the video triples in size. Something I'm trying to avoid. I will give no audio compression a try.

  • Creating animations with transparent backgrounds?

    I'm running into some problems when using After Effects to create animations with transparent backgrounds for Keynote...
    I use animated gifs and short quicktime movies with uniform backgrounds as source files, use color keying to take out the backgrounds, preview them to see if they look OK, render the results as RGB+alpha, and... they don't show up as transparent in Keynote. They work in Powerpoint, however. I've tried outputting as .mov, as .gif, as premultiplied vs straight alpha... no joy. Can someone explain (or point me to an explanation) of how Keynote differs from other programs in its handling of transparency? What am I missing?

    Using a TYPE_INT_ARGB BufferedImage worked beautifully. I had played around with Image for hours, but it never occurred to me that BufferedImage would be needed. :)
    many, many thanks,
    Steven

  • How do i create an animation with one frame for each layer?

    I have 76 sequential images that i've loaded as layers using bridge, then aligned using photoshop.
    I would now like to create a 76 frame animation with one animation frame for each layer
    (the layers are in sequential order).
    is there an easy way to do this
    or do i have to create 76 frames (can duplicate multiple to speed it up)
    then set layer visibility for each frame?
    thanks

  • How to control animation with touch

    Hello! I need some help with controlling animations with touch. I am building a fake app and need to 'unlock' an iphone (slide an arrow along a track and then have it fade into another page). I have been using http://forums.adobe.com/message/4865693 that thread. The prototype link listed there is similar to waht I need to recreate, but I think I need an 'on touch' actino instead of a mousemove one.
    http://assets.ordienetworks.com.s3.amazonaws.com/the_occasional/checkerPro/checkerPro.html
    That is a link to the Edge file I have been working on, using the info in the thread above. It is broken at the moment, and I am terrible with javascript and have no idea how to move forward. I have figured that I'll need an 'on touch' action instead of the mouseover one, but I'm not sure how to build it.
    If there is a working example of this on a different thread that I've missed I'd love a link as well!!
    Thank you!!

    Hi, akall-
    There are a number of touch events that you can use to accomplish what you want.  You can try using the touchmove event instead of the mousemove event, and stick your code in there.
    Hope that helps,

  • Flash animation with stream sound not playing in mac

    Dear all,
    I have made a 5 min animation with stream sound. Its playing perfectly in PC. But in mac, its not playing. Stream sound starts from frame 60. So mac plays the swf plays till 60 frame, after that it pauses. I tried importing different sound format (wav, aif, mp3) and tried with all sound export setting but the problem remain same; its playing only till 60. When i removed the sound, it played till end. Even with event sound, it plays till end. But with stream sound, the problem. The problem is only in mac; in pc its perfect.
    I am using VMware Mac OS x leopard in window xp for testing purpose. I tested it in laptop with mac; but the problem is same. What could be the solution?
    Thanks in advance. Waiting for solution.

  • Animation with motion path like flash

    Hi at all,
    is it posible to animate an object in circle move like motion path in flash?

    @resdesign
    If you were right, the example below won't work ;-)
    Rotation is  rotating an object around its origin. If the origin is outside the object, it moves in a circle.
    Here is the example: http://mcmm.com/edge/circular/circular.html
    It has been done like in my description above.
    All objects in the example are simply animated with rotation. The earth rotates around its origin and the planets do the same.
    The only difference between earth and planets is that the earth has its origin untouched while the planets have their origin outside.

  • Can i make Animations with Adobe Flash CS3 Professionals?

    can i make Animations with Adobe Flash CS3 Professionals? my
    goal is to make a Animation Serie But i got no Expereience!
    Is it any place i can learn how to use Adobe Flash CS3
    Professionals? Can i get a tutorial/training thing on
    www.adobe.com?

    Ha!
    Just scratch the surface by using the search functions on
    this site or google - thousands of
    websites that showcase flash animations since version 3 back
    in the late 90's - many websites have
    dedicated themselves to flash training and tutorials over the
    years.
    Basically, anything on the web that looks animated, right
    click over it and 9 times out of ten it
    will say "Flash".

  • I need help with animation with progress bar.

    Hi,
    I need some help with creating something similar to this site (window opening animation with scrub bar):
    http://www.drutex.pl/pl/oferta/okna/okna-pvc/okna-pvc-iglo-5.html
    I'm kinda new to flash and all so some tutorials for such thing would be helpful.
    Thanks in advance
    Oscar

    What this will involve is a movieclip/timeline containing images showing the sequence of the motion (like the frames of a movie film) and a Slider component that changes the frame of that movieclip/timeline based on its position.
    Here is a link to an Actionscript 3 sample file that demonstrates a Slider providing the control of the timeline...
    http://www.nedwebs.com/Flash/AS3_Slider.fla
    You could edit the looks of the Slider component if you like by doubleclicking it and the inner parts you want to modify, or you could create one of your own if you have enough know-how to code it to work.

  • Responsive animation with background color that spans 100%

    I've create a responsive animation with simple background colors. I'd loe for the background colors to bleed 100%, but can not seem to find a way to do it easily. I've actually had to layer two animations on top of each other and just js. (this site is in development: http://newsite.insightpd.com/what-we-do/ ) I'd love for the red and gray to go 100% while still being centered and staying responsive. What am I missing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    PS, I'm using the edge plugin for wordpress and am just uploading the aom file.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Did  you incorporate % widths during the creation of the animation?
    Nice job btw
    Also your template is using fixed widths for that section that houses the Edge Animate - you also need to adjust for % in your WP template css (see capture).
