Creating an Animation with Edge | Learn Edge Preview 6 | Adobe TV

When Preview Release 1 arrived in mid-2011, Edge was able to move pixels from “here” to “there.” This video not only shows you how to move pixels, but also demonstrates how Edge vastly expands the creative possibilities for web-delivered motion graphics through the use of the timeline, keyframes, easing, and property manipulation.

Thanks for the video.
I am just starting with Edge, have reviewed a few examples, done a few lessons, and looked at some code.
Something about Edge, demonstrated in this video, puzzles me.
The PIN mechanism seems counter-intuitive.
In this video, the "E" is at the bottom, you then click the PIN, slide the PIN HEAD to 1 sec, then move the "E" to the top of the screen/stage.
When you play it, you see the exact opposite. Instead of seeing the "E" move up to the top position over the time frame specified, you see it move from the top to the bottom during that time. That seems exactly backward to me.
Your comment "The motion moves towards the Play Head" seems backward to me.
Can you kindly explain your thinking behind making it work that way?
For me, having it at the bottom, setting some construct, and time frame, and then moving the "E" to the top, should result in the "E" going from the bottom to the top during the time frame specified. Is that not more intuitive?
Thanks,
Derrick

  • I am a new using Adobe products, and I am creating an Animation using Edge Animation.....

    Hi guys.
    As I said, I am new working with Adobe products, like Dw, and now I am creating an animation using Edge Animation.
    Actually, I am creating a carrousel with different pictures representing three different apps being displayed from different devices, moving them and creating a simulated
    movement for each one, based  on the functionality, that action should be activated by a button (i.e.) titled "Inventory", the action to execute is to move
    the three related screens ( Desktop, Ipad and Iphone ) from the original position  to the middle screen, but at the same time, and this is what I need to know,
    If there is another set of screens for a different application, how to move those back to the original position, before moving
    the selected one, "Inventory". I tried to use a duplicated transition and inverting, it works, but it doesn't stop waiting for a new action, and how to combine
    that movement back with the selected app-transition?
    I put  two screenshots with the stage and the original position for all of them. I have not created the buttons yet. I imagine I should use some kind
    of conditional statements to execute the action sending back  those elements  located in the middle  of screen, because were selected before,
    and then execute to animation to move the selected app.
    I would appreciate your help on this matter.
    Thanks.

    original Position.
    After the First animation for Inventory App.

    No answers, Ok.
    I will try to give you more information about I want to do.
    I am a Filemaker Developer, and I started creating my webpage, and one of thing I would like to do is this
    animation and put it on my website.
    What I want is to simulate a carrousel of options to show the selected application using the three buttons,
    Now, I put the three buttons and each one of them is moving the three corresponding applications, that's fine.
    But the issue I have :
    I am using Mouseover and Mouseout to show a different color and size of the buttons, and to execute the
    corresponding animation.
    For each event I created different labels : Inventory_hover ; Inventory_mouseover ; Inventory_Animation and
    Inventory_Animation_Reverse and so on.
    Testing that
    After I selected one of them, and it ended moving the three pictures to the center of the screen, and then I
    leave, the three screens moved to the original position, which is not a bad idea, but I want to control that
    moving.
    So, what I want as a summary is :
    1) to control that back movement. I was trying to figure out how to add some code inside the Animation code, and
    just before execute that animation, check if there is another application selected before, and then move that
    set of pictures back to the original position, since I have only three applications pictures, and only one can move
    at the time, the checking "If Statements" would be for two others conditions.
    2) That should be done only when one of the buttons is clicked, and not when the mouse leaves the buttons like it
    is happening now.
    I attached a zip file with my EA files.
    Thank you in advance, Any help would be really appreciated.

  • Episode 1: Edge and the Twitter API | Learn Edge Preview 6 | Adobe TV

    Adobe Edge is not limited to sexy web animations; you can also build apps and integrate third-party APIs easily. In this lesson, connect to Twitter, pull tweets, and visualize them using an item renderer built using Edge, thereby learning how to consume APIs and create elements programmatically within Edge.
    http://adobe.ly/Lubp0u

    Hi,
    So I have attempted to integrate the API as you have suggested. I am not a coder so I have no idea what I am really doing but check out what I have pulled together so far:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9159616/Circle%20Pulse%20w%20Twitter%202.zip
    What I would like to do is be able to change the query to something custom so that anytime I hove over the button, a new tweet with the query of my choosing slides up  and the old one Fades out.
    Can you help with this? I really appreciate it. Thanks for posting this amazing tutorial.

  • 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?

  • Working with audio | Learn Premiere Pro CS6 | Adobe TV

    This movie introduces the robust audio tools in Premiere Pro. Abba Shapiro shows how to preview and trim audio in the Source Monitor. Whether it’s an audio-only file or the audio channel of a video clip, Abba shows how to enable sub-frame audio scrubbing and trimming. He also shows how to interpret clips to combine or separate stereo channels. At the same time, he introduces fundamental audio tools that are essential to working with audio in Premiere Pro.
    http://adobe.ly/To00IZ

    Is it possible to specify what audio channels to capture during capture from tape? It seems Premiere wants to mix the lavaliere mic and camera mic into a stereo track all the time, and then I have to modify audio settings and force it to mono in the project. In Final Cut pro 7, I am able to specify which audio tracks to capture, and this simplifies things in editing. I cannot see anywhere to do this in Premiere....

  • Adding Interactivity, Looping, and Code | Learn Edge Preview 6 | Adobe TV

    There's no avoiding the fact that interactivity, regardless of application, is code-driven. In this lesson you will learn just how easy it is to use the Edge Code panel to create navigation, launch events on the screen, and even go to other websites. You'll also see how the Script panel and its snippets make coding a breeze for people who are new to JavaScript and provide a familiar place for web developers.
    http://adobe.ly/Jo2aC4

    Hi,
    I have created an interactive animation following this tutorial and have publish it to HTML5. With all the files generated in a folder, I placed the entire folder into the same folder where my Adobe Indesign files are.
    When I used the web content overlay in my indesign to link to the html page. It just showed me a white block. When I set the background to transparent, nothing shows when I previewed in my content viewer in both desktop and devices. It works fine when I previewed it on Firefox and Safari.
    Any idea what caused the problem?
    Thanks.

  • Some questions about creating web animations with lighter data and exporting to vector Flash format.

    Hi, I will be creating animations in After Effects mostly using Illustrator vector files and will be exporting to SWF or XFL for using the animations on the web.
    One of the priorities is light data as possible to provide viewers with slower connections with better experience. However the animation should also impress and I need to find a balance between performance and possible imagery.  The animations may have sound and voice narrative.
    I need help with understanding which type of non-vector data is heavier than others. Non-vector image data or sound and voice? And from non-vector image data is some of it lighter or heavier than other - for example motion blur vs smooth gradient vs many colors?
    I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, tips, pointers, etc.,

    Let's do a little "Myth Busters" on that one, shall we?
    Vector data is per se not "lighter" than pixel data. You could have complex paths for which storing the information of the individual nodes takes up more space than a pixel image of the object.
    Dynamic rasterization of vector data costs CPU performance and may in effect make things more slow than just playing a series of pixel images. That would apply to anything from path strokes to gradients.
    All your pretty AI vectors don't mean anything if they are constructed in such a way that either AE or Flash need to rasterize them on import. Anything from converting Bezier paths to paths consisting of dense linear segments to converting fills, patterns, gradient meshes and so on to pixel data
    Pixels are pixels. It does not matter whether they are gradients, mothionblur or just non-antialiased shapes. Flash doesn't care and neither image format that may be used in Flash stores any more or less info. They only differ in their methods, but in the end it's for you to decide whether you use JPEG, PNG8 or PNG24. They all have their pros and cons.
    It makes a difference, if data is embedded in an SWF or if it is externally linked just as it makes a difference whether you enforce audio sync or not, playing every frame or not.
    So for all intends and purposes, it's still up to you to make up your own mind and find the best solution. And Rick has a point - if you're really that concerned about efficiency, then do it in Flash or Flash Catalyst and consider the options there that may help like GPU accelerated layer styles for drop shadows etc., dynamic text or your vector data remaining vector in teh first place.

  • How to create an animation with Image Sequence?

    Im have Quicktime Pro and I want to make an animation. I tried selecting some pictures I have saved "random," but I could only select 1 at a time. So, Im thinking that making an Image Sequence is a separate operation from making it come alive? My question, how do I create an "image sequence?" Say I have a digital cam and I take 20 pictures? Thanks!

    NEVERMIND!!!! I figured it out!! So once I have all the photos (ex: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...) in a folder, I open image sequence with photo 1 and then it automatically collects the other images! Got it! Im sorry!!

I am new to photography and PSE an would like to know if there is an alternative way to edit an image that can be saved as .jpg. Thank you!

  • Creating a prepackaged AIR app | Learn Flash Professional CS6 | Adobe TV

    Discover how to deploy AIR applications from within Flash Professional CS6 as "captive runtimes." Captive runtime allows developers to bundle the AIR framework into an AIR application, creating a self-contained entity that eliminates third-party dependency.
    http://adobe.ly/JXWmgc

    Hi I am a little confused.
    I wan't to export an AIR "Application with runtime embedded" I can do this fine for a MAC file from my mac I can just check the "Application with runtime embedded" check box and I get a file that I don't have to embed. I would like to do the same for a PC I have flash installed on windows 7 parallels. When I check the "Application with runtime embedded" check box and export I get a file structure instead of an app I can open. The mac version I can just double click and it opens without having to install the app.
    Is it then true that you can not have an AIR Captive file file for the pc that you don't have to run through an installer process?
    Many thanks

  • Is it possible to create a form with Livecycle that a user in Adobe Reader can import data into?

    I made a form, then found out that much of the data that needs to be filled out by our data entry personnel (in Adobe Reader) already exists in an Excel file. Is there a way I can set up this form so that my coworkers can import specific records from the Excel file and save themselves time?
    I noticed that when I open the Reader-Enabled version of the file that the "Import Data" command under "Extensions" is dimmed out. So even if I could successfully create an XML file it looks like we couldn't import, even to a Reader-Enabled PDF form. Why is that?

  • Is it possible (or feasible) to create an entire website full of animations using Edge Animate?

    Back when Adobe Edge preview first came out I tried making this site:
    http://www.bluekanji.net based on a friends request to have everything animate, with sound effects, music, etc.  It didn't turn out too well and the coding is a mess because of my lack of coding knowledge and trying to jam stuff in there when Edge didn't allow it at the time.
    I'm currently recreating the site from scratch, but hoping to make it all one cohesive page, instead of every animation having to be on a new page.
    My main issue now is that when I have any animation play the next one will overlap and block one another and it becomes a pretty big mess.  So my question is is it possible to do a full site full of animations with Edge Animate (and/or with Edge Reflow)? Or is it better to try something else?
    Thanks.
