Create animation from some layers..how ?

Hi,
Pshop CS2
I can see make frames from layers, but with a many layered psd file of which I only have 5 frames I want to see how they animate, how do I tell the animate palette to make frames from just the selected layers ?
Surely this has to be an option, there are always going to be layers during an artwork build that are options or earlier efforts etc that you may wish to revisit, to have the entire lot dumped into animate is a pain. Its not obviuos which they are when in there, layer names dont appear.

Hi,
I have just tried a test, created new file, 5 layers, labelled them 0, 1 2  3 4, turned off 0 2 and 4 and went to animation palette, create frames from layers and ended up with all 5 in there.
How do I get just specific layers into the animation and not all.
What you mean is, the 'create frames from layers option' from the triangle on white disc icon will dump all layers in each as a separate frame.
To get specific layers in, it has to be done one layer at a time, choose new frame then turn on just the layer you want for that frame, selectt new frame again and turn off all but the next layer you want in, and so on, then delete any frames not wanted like the first which picks up on whatever was turned on when animation palette was opened.
For a many layered file its time consuming but thats how it is. An option to make frames from visible layers would be useful !

  • How to remove 'Outlines' default text when creating shapes from vector layers?

    Hello everyone!
    You know the text it adds to the name layer when you create shapes from a vector layer that says Outlines? Well, anyone know if it's possible to change it or remove it?
    It sucks to have to remove it manually, especially when it's a lot of layers and you've taken the time to do the prepping in illustrator.
    Thankss,
    Oliver

    if I have an illustrator layer that is named icon and I convert it to outlines I get a layer that is named icon Outlines. Are you trying to remove the word Outlines or are you getting just a layer that says Outlines? Personally I would not remove the word Outlines from shape layer because this would differentiate it from the original and let me know at a glance what's going on with the layer and the project. This would be valuable information if I were to return to the project a year later for modifications.

  • Creating shapes from Vector layers (.ai files)

    I am trying to make extrusions to an image.  I am new to Illustrator and have read that .ai files are the only ones that you can extrude in AE.  However when I bring in an .ai file and select create shape from vector layer, a grey square covers the shape.  I am assuming that it is a transparancy issue and it is just filling in the size of the .ai project.  I could be wrong though.  How can I fix this?

    You need a plain shape in AI. If you're using gradients, masks, clipping paths or other stuff it won't work. Please give us more info and possibly a screenshot of your ai file.
    Try this. Open up Illustrator. Take the pen tool and create a simple shape with a closed path. Import that single layer single path file into AE and see if it works. If it does, then show us a screenshot of your AI file and show all layers and expand out any groups. We'll try and help.

  • Creating symbol removes some layers

    I am having some layers (without content) removed that have sublayers with content collected into them when creating symbols from a set of layers. Why does this occur and what is the exact expected behavior?
    I am presuming layers without content on them directly are stripped? Has this been changed in CS6?

    What Monika means is that you cannot have a layer without content if that layer has sublayers. Show a screen capture of the Layers panel with all the layers open of the original and what happens after you make the symbol.

  • Creating animations from jpegs

    I need to create animations fron a set of jpegs. I can layer selections in photoshop; create symbols in Flash, although When I open a multi-layer psd in FL,  don't always get multi-layers in FL. More importantly, what graphic/symbol formats are required for the typical animation techniques (eg, different tweens, bones, puppet). Can't seem to find this info anywhere. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Ron

    with classic tweening, use vectors.  to convert a bitmap to a vector in flash, select it, click modify, bitmap, trace bitmap.   with motion tweening convert your bitmaps to movieclips (right click, click convert, convert to movieclip).

  • Create IDoc from flat file - How to do the message mapping

    Hi everybody,
    I want to create an IDoc from a flat file.
    The file structure looks like this:
    MT_XYZ
    - Node001       0...1
      - Leaf001
    - Node002       0...unbounded
       - Node003    0...1
          - Leaf002
          - Leaf003
       - Node004    0...1
          - Leaf004
       - Node005    0...1
          - Leaf005
    I have created a mapping and all the other stuff to set up the IDoc adapter.
    Now when I try to test the interface the IDoc is created properly but obviously no information from the nodes "Node003" to "Node005" is inserted in the IDoc. Only the information kept in the elements (leafs) of "Node001" are inserted.
    All IDoc segments and their "Segment" elements are linked to the root node of the file structure "MT_XYZ". I tried to link some IDoc segments only to "Node002" but then this segment is not created.
    So how can I set up the message mapping in a way that the information from "Node003" to "Node005" is transported to the IDoc? Can anyone help me here?
    Thanks in advance for all answers!

    Hi Torben,
    >>I want to create an IDoc from a flat file.
    So you are using File content Conversion on the sender side. Right?
    >>no information from the nodes "Node003" to "Node005" is inserted in the IDoc.
    Are these information available in the source XML (you can check in transaction SXMB_MONI-> Input Payload).. There is a limitation in File Content Conversion of File adapter and it is that I can make an XML structure of 3 level.. Since these nodes details are in level 4 and 5 they should be missing in Source XML structure itself (after content conversion of File adapter). check that
    >>So how can I set up the message mapping in a way that the information from "Node003" to "Node005" is transported to the IDoc? Can anyone help me here?
    So you need to take an alternate approach where you do File Content Conversion and make 3 level structure.. then using a mapping convert this three level structure to your 5 level one and then try to map with the idoc.
    Check this blog for an idea

  • Creating Buttons from Photoshop Layers

    Hi, I am actually a designer trying to supply someone with a DVD menu template. They are using DVD Studio Pro.
    I've sent the files as layered Photoshop .PSD files with the proper aspect ratio & size. The text that needs to be made into menu buttons I had converted to rasterized layers (as the type was originally layed out in a sepearate program, not Photoshop).
    - So you cannot convert type that has rasterized on it's own layer to a button?
    - Can 'Vector Smart Object' layers from Photosop CS2 be imported and used as buttons?
    - Can Shape Layers be used to make buttons?
    - If I absolutely have to redo all the type in Photoshop, anyone know how to properly handle the aspect ratio issue? The document is using DV (.9) aspect ratio, and the type does not appear correct when laying out in Photoshop. I have to apply a 90% horizontal scaling to make the type look the same as the rasterized type I brought in.
    Thanks. I'm not too familiar with DVD authoring and even the whole pixel aspect ratio. Just trying to get the best files to people.

    If they're using DVDSP 4 or above, YOU do not need to used the 0.9 aspect ratio when you make the file. Just use regular square pixels, but make sure that you're file is 640 x 480 NOT 720 x 480 (for 4:3 menus) or 720 x 404 (for 16:9 menus).
    Any layer with filters should be flattened. All text and shapes should be rasterized as well.
    - So you cannot convert type that has rasterized on it's own layer to a button?
    It can very easily be it's own button, and outline for a button just needs to be "drawn" around it. It sounds like your DVD person doesn't quite know what they're doing.
    - Can 'Vector Smart Object' layers from Photoshop CS2 be imported and used as buttons?
    Yes, but make sure all vectors/shapes/test are rasterized and/or flattened to there own layer.
    - Can Shape Layers be used to make buttons?
    Yes. (See above.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Creating XML from query result (how?)

    Hi,
    It's a very general question. That is the simplest way to create XML containing data returned by a query?
    I've got 3 tables: 2 primary and a linked table. One of the primary tables contains a CLOB column. I need to export the tables to a XML file. That is the simplest way to do that? (There is many XML-related functions in Oracle XML DB and I don't know which may be good.)
    Thanks in advance,

  • In the Animation Timeline panel menu "create frames from layers" is not showing.

    I am watching a tutorial on basic animation and when it gets to the point where they say to open the "Animation Timeline Panel Menu" the panel that opens for me is not the same one in the tutorial.  I am supposed to click on "create frames from layers" but that is not an option.  I'm confused as to why my panel is not the same as the one in the tutorial.

    It could be that you are using a different version of photoshop. Some of the older versions were split into two versions a standard version and an extended version, in most of those versions, it was required to have the extended version to use video editing features.
    Perhaps you could tell us what version of photoshop you have and what operating system.

  • How do I create an animation from stills (100's of stills!)

    I have a load of still images that I want to make a straightforward animation from. Current I have to for each frame:
    click still image to get it in the 'viewer'
    select duration box and enter 1 frame
    Drag from viewer to canvas 'insert' box
    With hundreds and by the time I have finished thousands of images this is very slow and labour intensive. Is there a simpler way to do this? I am sure in my distant memory there was a free third party program I used where you could select all the stills and it would string them together but ideally I would like to do it in FCE.
    Thanks
    Ed
    Only other points to note are;
    Images are 1504 x 1000
    Version 3.5 of FCE
    Still on OSX 10.4

    Put your stills in a folder numbered sequentially in the order in which you want them with leading zeros. Set the still import preference in the second panel of user preferences to one frame. Import the folder. Drag the folder to the timeline.
    You can also open the image sequence in the QT pro player, set the frame rate you want, and convert it to a QuickTime movie.

  • How i can create animated slide show?

    How i can create animated slide show to my web sites listed bellow? Is Adobe PS suitble for it ?
    My websites are

    You knowladge will help me to develop my sites with attractive slide show
    Thank you

    JJMack covers some possibilities, predicated on the embedded player in your Web site.
    You might want to look at another pair of Adobe programs, that work well together: Adobe Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements. They are available in a bundle, and, if you do not have Photoshop Extended (up through CS 5.5), or Ps CS 6, or Ps CC, they cost MUCH less.
    One can create the SlideShow in the Organizer (sort of like Bridge, but with some differences), then can Send to Premiere Elements for final editing, such as the addition of Narration, or a Soundtrack. From PrE, one can then output to many, many different formats for linking to the player on the Web site.
    Now, if you have Ps Extended, Ps CS 6, or Ps CC already, you have video-editing capabilities, but some of the output options (and even Import options), will be limited.
    If searching for a program (or bundle of programs), then the Elements duo will do exactly what you need. Also, both of those programs have their own, very active forums, so you will have two communities to offer you support.
    Good luck,

  • Animation from layers

    I'm tying to make an animation from layers in Photoshop 6, but when I use the timeline window, the "convert frames' options as well as other options are greyed.  It doesn't grey when I open a video file.
    I'm tried using JPEG and GIF files as the layers, but am unsure what I'm to do at this point.

    I'm tried using JPEG and GIF files as the layers, but am unsure what I'm to do at this point. 
    The timeline palette handles two type of animations. Frame Animations and Video Timeline.  Each mode has different option and option will gray out when they are not current available for some required condition or state does not exists. Some examples:
    Frame Animation with a single layer document.  note Frame animation options does not have a "convert frames" option that a video timeline option. Note however other option like make frames from layer are grayed out.  The because the are no additional layers to make  frames with.
    Converted to Video timeline you can see there is a "convert frames" but other options are grayed out for they are not available for this document in its current state.
    Here a layered single in this case document in Photoshop video timeline  option "convert frames" grayed out for there is nothing in the video timeline but a button to create a frame animation.
    Video Timeline with no document open looks like the above options however you can see there is nothing in the video timeline. The create frame animation button does not hide the video timeline contents.
