[discuss] Does anyone use the Timeline Effects?

Just curious. I don't, but I probably would if the effects
were better -- the system itself of applying and editing effects
works nice.

I've never used the Timeline Effects either, and after some
fooling around with them I think these are the main reasons:
1) There aren't very many effects. I don't expect to discover
much there.
2) The effects that are there aren't particularly useful.
I've never really needed to "explode" or "expand" something in my
animation. Some of the effects are so basic they don't seem to
really offer any benefit over normal tweening, such as Transform
and Transition. And what about Text effects? If there were
professional text effects, such as the quality found in After
Effects, I'd find that useful.
3) The effects that exist are not very high quality. They
aren't smooth and natural looking.
4) The preview framerate is not synchronized to your movie
framerate, so the preview is mostly useless.
5) UI visibility of the Timeline Effect is really low.
There's no indication in the timeline or Property panel that a
symbol is actually a timeline effect. The only way to edit or
create a timeline effect is through a menu. This makes for a very
awkward interface.
5) You can only have a single Timeline Effect at once.
6) A Symbol with a Timeline Effect can't be edited, you can't
even adjust the frame span in the timeline without the timeline
effect being "baked" and not editable anymore. This makes some of
the "helpers" particularly useless, since it basically locks down
your selection after being applied.
So in the end I think I'll avoid extending Timeline Effects
altogether and just create some Commands to help us in creating
tweens. Any suggestions as far as that goes?

    Wait, Sir Charles.
    1. The two of us have offered you very valuable adivce, which you indicate in both cases you wish to ignore.
    2. You have NOT mentioned any issues in your first post here other than you wish to be social, and now in your second post that you don't know how to add contact and wish me to email you directions. I don't give personal service, as a volunteer I answer questions right here in the threads.You'll just have to suffer through asking questions right here. It's a great forum where thousands of users have gotten help. And often, quite speadily as well.
    3. Your last post is quite rude to a user who has spent lots of time helping users out around here, and quite honestly your words are uncalled for. Your ALL CAPS typing is considered yelling on internet forums such as this. No one likes to be yelled at. My mother taught me about gathering flys with honey rather than vinegar. You might try some honey yourself.
    4. Adding BBMessenger contacts. Open BBMessenger > Menu > Add Contacts. Enter either the PIN of the other user you desire to add, or their email address. IF THEY are already on your BB Address Book, you can enter their name there. Follow the prompts you are given.

  • HT4623 I'm new to using apple products, recently was asked to consider using a ipad mini for my specific business needs. Does anyone use the mini for their business?  How does it work for you?

    I'm new to using the apple OS.  Recently had business partner buy an ipad mini, was thinking of buying more for our businesses.  I'm used to using Windows Office products for my reports, wanted to know how apple's Pages, Keynote and Numbers compared and whether they could be used on the ipad mini. 

    I have asked a moderator to provide assistance, they will post an invite on this thread.

  • Does anyone use the OS X Server Version 4 Wiki?

    We are debating about whether to continue to use the free OS X Server Wiki for our company or whether to switch to Confluence.
    Love that this is free, but curious to know what experience people are having with it. Pro's Con's, etc.

    That was the first thing I tried.  That option isn't available in this update.  Noting happens when I right click in the text part of the update.     

  • Does anyone use the Asus G751JY-DH72X laptop for editing HD video in Premiere Pro

    I wish to purchase a laptop for field use. The Asus G751JY-DH72X laptop seems to have great specs for HD editing in Premiere Pro (CC 2014).  I wonder if anyone has tried this unit and: 1) Does Mercury Hardware (GPU) acceleration work and 2) Does a Thunderbird array connected to the Thunderbird port work?

    The Asus G751JY-DH72X appears to be the perfect Adobe CC mobile workstation spec wise. I am thinking of purchasing this myself. Adorama seems to have the best prices on the 512SSD, 1TB HHD model. According to the list of Adobe CC supported cards the Nividia GTX980M is officially on that list. I don't know about the array...but everything else is legit. Looking at the specs and add all the reviews...this is an excellent choice for an Adobe Animator/Editor.

  • Does anyone use the Nyko iPod stereo Link...

    ... the one with the dock style connecter? (not the headphone socket)
    Its just that mine works fine when plugged straight into my nano, but doesn't when plugged into the dock? Should this be the case, or am I doing something wrong?
    Any advice greatly received.
    Thanks
    KM

    Not to sure but I'm guessing that the dock has already diverted to line out signal from the dock connector to it's own stereo mini jack line out on the dock. You could get another stereo mini jack to RCA cable for use with the dock or you will probably half to plug this straight into the nano.

  • Does anyone use the Veho MUVI mini camcorder?  If so how do you download your video from it.  I plugged it into the USB port and my Mac doesn't show a removable disc on my desktop.

  • Does anyone use the Flickr plug-in for Aperture?

    Is it safe? Can/Should I use it? Otherwise what is the best way to go about exporting from Aperture to Flickr?

    The problem with the flickr integration is that Aperture is given permission to delete photos on flickr. I personally think Apple should've left this out. Many people on flickr are reporting losing online versions and masters all in one swipe. A BIG nono.
    It's up to you.

  • Does anyone use the Webkit nightly versions

    Is their often an advantage to these downloads regarding function, speed, stability, bug fixes, etc. Also can you have the latest Webkit nightly along with the latest 4.0.4 without one feeding the other via settings, prefs, etc, i.e., is one completely independent of the other like say Safari and Firefox would be? Just curious as I've never discerned a difference between the nightly and the general release Safari. Thanks

    The Webkit nightlies are completely dependent on Safari since they use Safari's UI (they don't even have their own, apart from a few Webkit features like the Web Inspector and RSS reader). Pretty much the only differences will be in how it renders webpages and runs javascript.
    They can be faster, but major speed improvements don't happen often. Bugs might be fixed, but new bugs might be introduced as well.

  • Does anyone use the $19.99 to-do organizing app? (I forget the name of it)

    I'm wondering if it's worth that hefty price tag .... I know it got very good reviews, but wanted to know some other thoughts ... Thanks!

    I also want real time coordination in a simple (simple being the difinitive word) app but can not find it.
    GeeTasks is another tease because it's iPhone only. You would think someone would make a simple planner to see a week, month and year at a glance. I'm in the entertainment industry and need to manage schedules by days, not hours. I want a view with months at a time (a line for each day, not little blocks) so at a glance I can see which weeks I'm gone etc. The same for income. Since I'm not salaried, I want to see at a glance when this royalty check is due and that bill is due so I can get an overall picture for planning. I'm sure many self employed people, particularly independent contractors and artistic types need this. I can't be the only one. Every app I've tried (and there have been many) has too many windows to navigate for every little entry. I don't want that much detail for every little thing.

  • Using the timeline in After Effects CS3

    Hi everryone
    does anyone know how to use the timeline in after effects, is it the same as flash, as it seems to be different (more complicated!) anyone got any tips or ideas which may help me,
    thanks
    I appreciate it
    Helen

    > They are different in their approach but are both keyframe-based timelines.
    I use both programs daily.
    I bow, Steve.
    Just having the Flash icon on my Mac gives me the creeps.
    It's an irrational emotional issue for me, much like my loathing of Photoshop.
    About six years ago, ten of us attended a two day immersion Flash class. These are filmmakers and and Photoshop geeks. In 16 hours of instruction, exercises and tutorials, no one ever said "Cool." Not once. it was monstrous.

    I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem?

    I have the same problem.  After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work.  I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
    I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now.  I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products.  Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.
