Copying basic motion attributes

I have two clips of equal length, they are both still images and not of the same resolution (ie when placed on top of each other they require different scaling to display at the desired size- in actual fact the images are a star and a joker- the joker needs to go in front of and within the star)
I have applied key points to the star and varied the scale (it gets bigger as the clip progresses), I've varied the opacity (it reduces as the clip progresses), I've also varied the centre point to create a motion path and applied a bezier curve to it.
OK the star does what I want, so I place the joker clip into the timeline and copy and paste the basic motion and opacity attributes from the star into it. The scale and opacity work just fine but while the motion path is the same shape it is of a different scale, ie the centre points are not identical (which is extremely difficult to correct manually).
I've tried duplicating the star clip from the timeline and copying the content attributes from the joker but I get the same result.
I really wouldn't mind if I had to manually adjust the scale or the opacity or even both, but I'd really like the motion path to follow the star.
I'm not sure where I am going wrong.

OK, so I added the joker to the star in an image editor and reconnected the media, which has done the job. However I'd still be interested in knowing where I was going wrong...
Anyone.

  • Copying Only Rotation Attributes

    I need to copy the same set of ROTATION keyframes to a large amount of clips. Some of the clips have different SCALE and CENTER keyframes already set, so I can't simply Paste Attributes—Basic Motion. Is there some kind of workaround?
    Thanks very much.

    Well, I am not sure what the "easiest" way to do this would be.
    I guess if it were me, I would make a copy of my sequence, then ON THAT COPY, I would move every photoshop clip (with the motion descent applied) to the end of the sequence, on V1 in a row so that they are all un-rendered and over nothing. Then I would mark an in at start of this row of photoshop clips and an out at the end.
    Then I would export using quicktime conversion a movie in the Animation Codec with the Compression Depth set to Millions+ to preserve the alpha channel.
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/Animation%2BSetting.jpg!
    Once I had exported this movie, I would import it back into FCP, and place all my photoshop clips back into position by using the Animation codec clip as a source. Now I would have all the clips preforming the descent but no motion keyframes applied. Then I would apply the rotation (I guess different among three or four clips) and copy and paste the various rotations to the Animation codec clips.'
    Then render.

  • How to apply basic motion to multiple clips

    Hello!
    How do I apply basic motion parameters to multiple clips? ie Scale, center and crop? Do I have to set the parameters for each specific clip or can I apply the parameters to multiple clips at once?
    Thanks

    I'm going to assume you want to assign the exact same motion tab setting to additional clips.
    Set one of your clips as desired in the motion tab
    highlight the modified clip in the timeline
    type Cmnd-C to copy
    highlight the clips you want to have the setting applied to
    type Option-V to paste
    in the pop-up window uncheck all boxes except Basic Motion
    click the OK button

    Hi, i am having an issue with a basic motion scroll effect.
    I already watched and read every tutorial out there regarding this topic and even tried the adobe chat support, but the guy on the other end of the line disconnected me…, probably he didn't understand what i wanted from him because english is not my native language, so a will try to be very, very clear about this one..
    please note, that i am new to muse, this is my first project ever.
    my idea is as following:
    when the customer comes to our companies site, he just sees our logo on a white Background. the logo consists of, say, four elements. when the customer scrolls down, the logo starts to disassamble: first the first part of the logo flies out the left side of the site, then the second part of the logo vanishes down, then the third part of the logo flies to the right, then the fourth part of the logo flies to the top and out of the customers view. given what i have seen, it is possible to do that….
    so…..
    now i have the four parts of my logo imported as png files into muse and assembled them in design view to build our companies logo. I select every one of the four parts and go into the scroll effects tab left beside the layers tab. first i enter the same values for every one of the four parts: initial motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right motion; key position ( t-handle) : 0px; final motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right value.
    now i hit "preview".: the logo is "pinned" at the correct position, i can scroll but the logo stays where it is. so far so good….
    now i select all the four elements again and go to the scroll effecs tab. at "final motion", i click the down arrows and enter 1x. I hit Preview…
    when i am scrolling down the WHOLE logo goes down…. so far so good.
    NOW i want the first part of the logo to go down, THEN the second part to go left, THEN the third part to go up, THEN the fourth part to go right.
    so i select ONLY the first part, go to the scroll motion tab, at "final motion" i click the left arrows, then i enter 1x.( the up-down value, i set to 0 again).. i hit Preview…
    the first part of the logo goes left as soon as i start scrolling, the other three parts still go down at the same time…
    NOW i want the second part of the logo to start moving, when the first part has left the scene, not at the same time as the first part.
    SO I SELECT THE SECOND PART AND DRAG ITS T-HANDLE (KEY POSITION) DOWN TO, LETS SAY, 200PX. SO IT STARTS MOVING ONLY AFTER THE CUSTOMER HAS REACHED THAT POINT, RIGHT?
    BUT WHEN I PREVIEW THAT ****, THE LOGO IS NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE, THE SECOND PART IS FLOATING ANYWHERE ELSE BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE…..WTFF????
    short: when i move the t handle, the initial position of the object changes. thats what i said to the adobe employee, but he said, that thats the expected behavior….
    but if thats so, how can i have my four parts correctly together, so they form my logo, but with different t handles, so that they all start to move at different times??
    Pleeease help me, i am dying of frustration here…..:( that behavior cant be right, right?
    Thanks so much to everyone who actually reads this post and tries to help…….
    All the best,
    Niki Lapan

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • Can You Copy and Paste Attributes in FCPX?

    I'm just getting started with my FCPX training, (after years of edidting in FCP).  I frequntly use the "copy and paste attributes" feature in FCP, (say you make some adjustments to a clip, you can copy these attributes and paste them on to another clip).  VERY SLICK and USFULL.  Does anybody know how this is done in FCPX?  Thanks

    Similar though you don't have the same level of control as you'll notice. Copy the clip you want to use as the source and then Paste Effects- both from the Edit menu. This will copy over everything so plan things out if you want to use this feature.

  • Conditional copy of payload attributes after HT

    Hi,
    How can I conditionally copy the payload attributes after the execution of a HT.
    Say that I have an attribute in my payload named hasAtlestOneCustomerAcceptedOffer and I have a Parellel gateway where I create multiple tasks in parellel.
    I want to copy the value of this attribute only when it is "Yes". I looked at teh data associations but couldn't be sure about how to do it ..
    I am using 11.1.16
    Thanks

    Hi --
    You have to use the XSLT 'if' or 'when' constructs - you can find examples here:
    - http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_if.asp

  • Copying basic dates to forecast dates

    Hi Experts,
    I am using WBSE and activities in my project. I want to copy basic dates to forecast dates. But, when i am doing this in Edit>Reconcile date->Transfer basic dates to forecast dates. Then my Planning type in network header also gets change from Basic date to forecast date. which i don't want. I just want that my basic dates get copied to forecast dates , so that i can use forecast dates as my planed dates through the project and never change it. So, that i can always compare , basic dates, forecast dates and actual dates.
    Thanks.

    May be you can try the following....
    1)  Edit>Reconcile date->Transfer basic dates to forecast dates.
    2) manually change Planning type in network header from forecast date to Basic date.

  • Adjusting the speed of "basic motion"

    Hi, I'm new to Motion so sorry for the simple question!
    I have some video footage with a Basic Motion behaviour attached to it. I try adjusting the speed slider but it doesn't move along the path any faster or slower. It just stays at the same speed, which is just far too slow for what I'm wanting to do.
    So my question is, how can I make objects move at a faster speed along a path?
    Thanks.

    If I'm understanding your issue properly, (I assume you're talking about a Motion Path behavior) all you should have to do is adjust the length of the Motion Path behavior in the timeline. Shorten it if you want to speed it up, lengthen it if you want to slow it down.

  • Files.copy() method does not copy every file attribute - any suggestions???

    Hi,
    I am using Files.copy() method to copy a file. The exact code is:
    Files.copy(sourcePath, targetPath, StandardCopyOption.COPY_ATTRIBUTES, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
    However, it won't copy the UAC attributes on Windows. If I create a file with elevated access on Windows, the created files cannot be deleted/modified in Java with an non-elevated session for the same user account. I want to copy a file so that the elevation attributes get copied as well but the above code does not do that.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have log a SR with Oracle with regard to this but they redirect to this forum.
    We have configured Oracle ILM in our environment. We have a requirement that after 3 years the data to be moved to a Low Cost Storage. We tested the same through Oracle ILM and it works fine for the above scenario.
    We have another requirement that after moved to Low Cost Storage Tier through Oracle ILM we also want to compress the data.
    When we set the compressed attribute through Oracle ILM it alwasy generated the script
    like the one below
    alter table test_user.range_part
    move partition year4
    tablespace part3
    compress for all operations -----------------Oracle Advanced Compression--------------
    update indexes;
    But we want some thing like below through Oracle ILM
    alter table test_user.range_part
    move partition year4
    tablespace part3
    compress -------------------Basic Compression----------------
    update indexes;
    Can you please help us how to set the Basic compression attribute through Oracle ILM.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Subtracting USB aquired images for basic motion tracking

    I would like to implement very basic motion tracking with a USB camera. I have already got the usb camera showing in labview (using a modified version of the USB example). What I would like to do is take the current frame in the buffer, subtract it from the previous frame in the buffer, increase contrast, and find all nonzero pixel values. These values would be the locations where change has occured. I've been using labview for only a week, so this may be a simple task, I just can't figure out how to grab the last frame in the buffer. I think I know how to grab the current frame. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Basic Motion Spin Behavior has the 2 arrows missing

    In the HUD, why are the 2 rounded arrows in the center missing in the Basic Motion "Spin" Behavior? The outer circle appears, but the center is black, not allowing access to the rotation axis.

    I had the same issue on my 8-core Mac Pro. I solved the issue by removing the extra video card I had in the system. Now I am using two cinema screens on one Gforce 8800 GT and Motion works fine again, including the spin behavior's HUD.
    Hope this will help.
