Creating travelling motion effect on a picture

Hi,
For a school assignment I have designed a map in Adobe Illustrator. I would like to create a movie with a 'camera travelling effect' on the map, similar to the one you can see on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPM1OYKb1Qs
Can someone help me pointing to the right software package to choose and how to do this ?
Thanks in advance.

the map-animation in your linked demo is 3D .. so, your 'painting' is just the beginning.. you need some 3D-software, which allows creation of such dimensional pictures + socalled texture-mapping (imagine, you sculpt with plaster and project your painting on it) ..
the free, but really hard to learn solution is blender.org ... software package, which allows to create 'landscapes' with grey-maps and which allows texture-mapping..
for sure, there're tons of commercial solutions, very soon going beyond the 1k$ barrier.. I used for many years CARRARA BASIC (<100$), I'm not sure, wether it's on sale for actual hard/software.. tools as Motion, After Effects, Maya or Cinema 4D are probably way above budget ..

You kind of answered your own question..
Check out Motion in the FX Control Window and learn how keyframing works..

Any way to make Motion Effect work in CS3?

I had some problems with animated motion effects in CS2, but now they seem to be even worse in CS3... Along with all the other CS3 problems I've encountered, I'm considering going back to CS2 - but I thought I'd try here first...
With an interlaced video project (NTSC SD) anything (title, photo, or video) that is put in motion using keyframes for the built-in Motion Effect comes out VERY bad.
I tried a test with a clip that is only three frames long, consisting of white box approx. 100x100 pixels (made via Titler) and starting at frame 0, offset horizontally by 360 and at the 3rd frame (frame 2) offset horizontally by 380. (20 pixel shift)
FIRST PROBLEM: Look at the frame 0 and frame 1 in the program monitor at 100%. Now try any other magnification - completely different results!!
SECOND PROBLEM: To export these three frames, I have to set the work area bar to include FOUR frames, because if I animate motion of a clip and then export, the last frame is SOMETIMES not included in the output file. If you're playing along, output five frames just to be sure.
THIRD PROBLEM: Open the clip in Photoshop. (The only application in CS3 that appears to work correctly.) At first glance, frame one appears to be interlaced because of the motion. But it's not. The second field is nowhere near where it should be in time relative to the movement. If you use an actual photo instead of a white box, you can see how badly it's mangled. (Not just fields in wrong position, but badly mangled.)
FOURTH PROBLEM: Frame 1 and 2 (the 2nd and third frame) are also badly mangled.
FIFTH PROBLEM: The fourth frame (frame 3) consists of the the final resting place of the object - BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE THERE AT ALL! (The 4th frame is blank.)
I know, I know, long rant... I'm just getting so fed up with all of the problems with CS3...
Anyway, are there other alternatives that will work on interlaced video??? (For now, I had to create a different project that was progressive, and render to a temp file to import into the interleaved project. It looks better, but not nearly as smooth of motion as it should be.)

Please provide
these details to help us help you.

Editing stills with motion effects, performance questions.

I am editing a video in FCE that consists solely of still photos.
I am creating motion effects (pans and pullbacks, etc) and dissolve
transitions, and overlaying titles. It will be played back on dvd
on a 16:9 monitor (standard dvd,not blueray hi-def). Some questions:
What is the FCE best setup to use for best image quality: DV-NTSC?
DV-NTSC Anamorphic? or is it HDV-1080i or 720p30 even though it
won't be played back as hi-def?
How do best avoid squiggly line problem with pan moves etc?
On my G-5, 2gb RAM, single processor machine I seem to be having
performance problems with playback: slow to render, dropping frames, etc
Thanks for any help!

Excellent summary MacDLS, thanks for the contribution.
A lot of the photos I've taken on my camera are 3072 X 2304 (resolution 314) .jpegs.
I've heard it said that jpegs aren't the best format for Motion, since they're a compressed format.
If you're happy with the jpegs, Motion will be, too.
My typical project could either be 1280 X 720 or SD. I like the photo to be a lot bigger than the
canvas size, so I have room to do crops and grows, and the like. Is there a maximum dimension
that I should be working with?
Yes and no. Your originals are 7,000,000 pixels. Your video working space only displays about 950,000 pixels at any single instant.
At that project size, your stills are almost 700% larger than the frame. This will tax any system as you add more stills. 150% is more realistic in terms of processing overhead and I try to only import HUGE images that I know are going to be tightly cropped by zooming in. You need to understand that an 1300x800 section of your original is as far as you can zoom in , the pixels will be 100% in size. If you zoom in further, all you get are bigger pixels. The trade off you make is that if you zoom way out on your source image, you've thrown away 75% of its content to scale it to fit the video format; you lose much much more if you go to SD.
Finally, the manual says that d.p.i doesn't matter in Motion, so does this mean that it's worth
actually exporting my 300 dpi photos to 72 dpi before working with them in Motion?
Don't confuse DPI with resolution. Your video screen will only show about 900,000 pixels in HD and about 350,000 pixels in SD totally regardless of how many pixels there are in your original.

Can you Turn on the Ken Burns Motion Effect in IDVD?

I see several transition effects in iDVD, but I don't see the Ken Burns Pan Motion effect as seen in iPhoto. This effect makes a slide show almost look like a video. Great stuff. Is there a way to select Ken Burns Motion effect if you created a slide show in iDVD?
I can create a slide show in iPhoto with the Ken Burn effect and share it with iDVD. When I do this, it creates a new project in iDVD. If I have several slide shows in iPhoto and send them to iDVD, they create their separate projects. Is there a way to combine separate projects in iDVD. I've looked around the Forum and can't seem to find an answer. Thanks for your help to a new beginner.

You have to select each album and click on the PLAY button. This brings up a dialogue with all the settings. You don't actually have to play the slideshow, just click on "Save Settings".
I've since found out that you can shift-select multiple albums at and change their settings in one go. Wish I'd worked that one out before!
Like I said before: a central preferences setting for base slideshow settings would be nice!

How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

OK, you are getting closer. Now, use your result, and place a Layer above that. Use the Pen Tool to create the "pen strokes" basically tracing over your background image. Then, when you have created each Path (or Sub-Path), choose Stroke Path, with probably the Pencil Tool and a Brush size that is small enough.
Not sure which versions of PS these are good for, but here are some plug-ins, that might be helpful.

Slow motion effect

I was wondering how to get that slow motion effect that is so commonly used i music videos. I have a canon xha1 that shoots 60i and 50i. To achieve this effect do I do it all in FCP, or is a combination of having the fps high and then the sequence at 24. I could do it in FCP, but it doesn't look clean. If any body has anysuggestions, thankyou. peace. E.

Final Cut Pro can do slow motion with or without frame blending. In both instances you are creating duplicates of frames in order to create a slow motion effect. These look okay in video but with the effects you are talking about are done with large production values where the shots are done with slow mags where the film is running at a high rate of speed to get more frames in an action. There are cameras today that allow you to over and under crank footage but mainly they are tapeless formats where you are recording to hard drives, disks or cards.
you might want to investigate After Effects version 7 or later where it does time warping where individual pixels are blended rather than an entire frame like in Final Cut.

Create Travel Expense Report link missing in ESS

Hello Gurus,
I am unable to see the Create Travel Expense Report link in the ESS Travel & Management tab. I have modified SPRO and details are as below:
1) In SPRO, I have copied the standard Resource (EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSES_SRV05) and Service (EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSEREPORT05) as new Resource (Z_EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSES_SRV05) and Service (Z_EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSEREPORT05).
2) I have changed the URL Parameter in Z_EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSES_SRV05.
3) Later I have deleted the new "Z" Resource and Service that I have created in the SPRO, so that I wanted to default back to the standard.
After deleting the "Z" Resource and Service in SPRO, I am not able to see the "Create Travel Expense Report" link from the Travel and Expenses area page in portal. Though I was able to execute the iView directly from the Portal PCD.
Did any one got similar kind of problem ????
Could you please reply with your suggestion or advise how you have fixed this problem.
Thanks for any help.
Ram.

Hi Bharathwaj,
Thanks for your helpful answer.
I have checked the Area Page EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_ERP2005, but I don't see any entry for services.
It has Area Link Text, Picture Resource, Area Link Type and Link Resource only....
Can you suggest if I have to see any other setting ??
Thanks for your help.

How to apply a "motion" effect to an entire group of images in FCP

I have Final Cut Studio and I'm creating a time-lapse video right now out of about 3,000 high-resolution JPEG images. I've figured out how to import them in to my bin at a default length of 1 frame per image and then drag them in to the timeline (30 images per second).
I now need to make them all larger by about 60% (they automatically imported into the timeline at 45%). I also need to readjust their "center" location and "rotation" throughout the video as the camera was running for several months and got bumped here and there. So I need to zoom in (to create a buffer on the border of the images) and then rotate, tilt, and pan the frame in various places until the video is nice and smooth and consistent throughout.
My question is, how do I apply motion effects to the entire track or to hundreds of images in one shot? I'll die of old age if I have to manually apply, re-apply, and re-re-apply the settings to 3000 individual images. I've been searching for an answer to this for a while but haven't found any articles so I thought I'd post it as a question.
Any ideas would be HUGELY appreciated!
Thanks

Wow, thank you everyone for giving me so many ideas.
Tom, I never knew about the "Paste Attributes" button... and I've been using FCP for 4 years, how embarrassing. But dang, what a COOL feature! I'll be using that a lot in the future.
Kevin, this Nest feature is PERFECT! That was literally what I was looking for really (a way to keep the image high quality as I zoom in and tinker and what not).
David, the images are 1600 X 1200 @ 180 DPI. That was actually one of the lower settings in GbTimelapse, but as long as I can use the padding to crop and zoom, I'm happy. Thanks for the info though.
And Andy, thanks for the tip about Motion. Normally I only use Motion for titles but I know I really should play with it more as I'm aware of it's ability to do so much more than that.
Thanks again to everyone. Seriously, 10 minutes after I asked this question and I had 3 different, REALLY good solutions to a problem that I thought would be incredibly hard to solve, haha
Cheers guys,
Chris

Conforming 25fps offline sequence to 50fps online media and maintaining smooth motion effect in FCP7

I am editing something shot at 50fps with the intention of playing it back at 25fps for a smooth motion effect.
the footage is shot on a RED and I have created proxies from REDcineX that have been transcoded to 25. Everything is working fine but it has just occurred to me that when the offline edit is complete I may run in to issues relinking to the original media as it will still be 50fps.
Will the fact that my FCP7 sequence is a 25fps timebase solve this problem or will there be timecode mismatches between the cuts on my 25fps proxies and my 50fps RED quicktime reference files? If there are issues with that, is there a way to solve them?

this doesn't seem like a very common workflow (at least in my experience) so you might not get any responses. Why not do a test with a short sequence with just a couple of shots to see if you're gonna have any problems down the road. It's always a good idea to test your complete workflow before you start editing. In this case, better late than never.

How to properly timewarp 59.94 footage for slow motion effect for 29.97 output

I have footage filmed in 59.94 that I want to use for slow motion effects and output to 29.97. Using timewarp I seem to get duplicate frames at times. What would the best workflow to accomplish the cleanest result? I've tried interpreting the footage at 29.97 and keeping it at its native 59.94. At this point I feel like I'm just confusing myself further by just trying random things. Thanks!

Always interpret footage as what it really is. If it is really 59.94 progressive then that's what it should be interpreted as. It will play at the right speed in any comp of any frame rate. IOW, if the footage is 10 seconds and you put it in a 99fps comp and play it back at full frame rate the clip will still be 10 seconds long. If you put it in a comp that's 15 frames per second, the clip will still be 10 seconds long.
Make sure you understand that.
There is a chance, and a good chance, that your footage is actually full frame 59.94 fps video. That's why I suggested putting it in a comp that's also 59.94 fps and checking for duplicate frames.
There is also a chance that your footage is actually 29.97 fps interlaced. If you separate fields and look at the footage in a 59.94 fps comp you won't see any duplicate frames.
To change the speed of the clip you just need to apply Time Remapping, Time Warp, or any of the other Time Time tools in AE. It doesn't make any difference what the frame rate of the composition is, you'll be changing the length of the clip.
To keep from creating duplicate frames you either need software that interprets the new, extra frames or you need to use an exact whole number multiple of the frame rate for rendering.
Where did you get the footage? What Camera? What are you trying to do with it? What is the final destination (delivery) for your project.

Creating Page Turn effect

Sorry if this is a super basic question, but I'm learning, and I'm stuck.
I want to create the effect of a page turning. From going through the tutorial, I think I should use the 3-D Filter. What i can't figure out is how to create the "curl" effect of a page turning. Is this another filter? Or a behavior?
Any tips GREATLY appreciated.
Julie

Julie,
Motion will allow you to load a host of 3rd party filters in addition to the limited set provided by the software. I've loaded Boris filters and they work fine in Motion. CGM has a nice set of filters that include page turns which may work for you. You might be able to find some freeware filters floating around, too. Not all are compatible, but if the work in FCP, there's a good chance they'll work in Motion. Load your favorite filters folder in Motion's preferences pane. Once loaded, go to the 3rd party plug-ins in the browser (it's at the top of the list). Drop the filter on your layers just like you would a behavior. Open your inspector and have at it! Hope this helps. . .
