"Ease In" Effects

In "Effects>Entrance>Ease In", both the "EaseInBottom" and "EaseInTop" have the same exact effect (they both come down from the top). I am assuming this is a Captivate 7 glitch, but is there a way to fix it? I want to have the image ease in up from the bottom. (I'm on a Mac.)

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe forums,
Both the EaseInBottom and EaseInTop have different effects. In EaseInBottom image come down from top and in EaseInTop it come top from down. You need to test the effects on different slides. You might tried to change the effects on the same slide. Once you apply any effect on an object you need to delete it first and then apply another effect on the same object.
Please check the screenshot below how to delete the existing effect.You need to select the effect from the timeline and then click on the delete button as mentioned.
Regards,
Rajeev

Modifying Properties for Ease-In Effects

I want to modify the ease for an object in my project. I see no difference in behavior when I change the value in the Ease field within the effect's properties. I'm not sure what this value is supposed to represent, but I assume a drastic change in value would do something. Does anyone know how to shorten the length of the ease? My object is going too far to the right and I want to stop it at a certain point. I'm using v8. LilybiriAdobe Captivate@

Hi Manoj,
Thanx for the answer, I didn´t think of that, how can I put the properties in the KM and retrieve it from my JSP? sounds like a good idea!

Easing Filter Effects

Ok. Let me start by saying I'm getting better at Actionscript
but I'm still far from where I need to be. Hopefully you guys can
help.
I am trying to pull off an effect where a logo emerges from
the background using "DropShadowFilter". The Background is white
and the logo is white so I only want to animate the
"DropShadowFilter". Doing this in the timeline makes it look a
little choppy. So I thought I would try using actionscript.
Here's what I have so far to make the mc "emerge":
Code:
import flash.filters.*;
var ds:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(0, 0,
0x000000, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3, false, false, false);
mc1.filters = [ds];
mc1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
ds.blurX += (10-ds.blurX)/10;
ds.blurY += (10-ds.blurY)/10;
ds.alpha += (10-ds.alpha)/10;
mc1.filters = [ds];
Yes, this code does the job, but, Is there a way to add
Robert Penner's Easing to this? What I'm looking for specifially is
the "Elastic.EaseInOut" added to it so that it will have a liquid
type of effect.
Thanks in advance. I hope I'm explaining this properly.
Mike.

thanks kglad!!! that's what I was looking for, works exactly
like I had hoped.

Ease out effect

right, i made this thing where it move in actionscript, so
far i have this code
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.whole_mc._y > 1.0)
_root.whole_mc._y -= 2;
what do i need to add and where so that it eases out (by
around 50% if you kno what i mean) as i can't figue it out fr
myself.
thanks all

Flash includes something called the Tween class, which
features an
assortment if various easing types. Classes define objects,
and just about
everything you deal with in ActonScript is a class, including
your movie
clip (which is an instance of the MovieClip class). Check out
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference for details. Just search
"Tween class"
without quotes and you'll see all sorts of sample code.

Is it possible to have a hover effect easing out on multiple images when hovering on others?

Im trying to use four small images to create a large image by using a hover effect. However when i hover over an image for instance 3 of 4, after hovering over 1 and 2, number 1's ease-out effects snaps back to the background image, rather than continuing to ease-out. Which i do not want. Is it possible to have numerous ease-out effects working at the same time? Using CSS.

Could you show us a bit more of what you've done so far?
I'm not sure I understand the desired result.
Can you put your files online somwhere?
Thanks

Help With Ease In/Ease Out / Smooth Motion

I'm in the process of completing a historical documentary and have run into a problem. The project calls for a LOT of photos. And, as usual, most of the pix have different types of moves attached to them. I'm trying to get the moves to start and stop on the photos with an "ease in" and/or "ease out" effect. Normally, I'd do this in AE, but due to time constraints (not to mention the volume of pix), I'd rather get the gist of it down in FCP.
I've tried both the "Ease In/Ease Out" and "Smooth" keyframe commands. Smooth seems to work best. If there's a center position change during the move however, the photo appears to slightly "float" up and down during the duration of the move - especially when starting and stopping. Problem is, I don't want it to float... I just want it to move smoothly from point A to point B.
Is there a way to gradually start and then gradually stop movement on an object (such as a photo), without having this floating effect?
Thanks.

You will like neither the animation process nor the results in FCP.
There is simple coverage of eases in the FCP manual, you will want to find that section and put a stickie on it. Beware that FCP's native DV rendering for motion blows. You will need to add some blur but not motion blur. FCPS's motion blur is nothing like AE's motion blur. It's awful.
The problems you will have are going to drive you nuts. The keyframes and Beziers in FCP are skittish and spazzy, nothing like the smooth and elegant controls that have always been available in AE. It's like Apple decided to reinvent the entire Bezier handling system and they forgot to finish the job.
I suggest you stick to AE for this work but that's just me. Figure out how to make FCP's motion madness work later when you have more time to mess with it.

Ease in CSS fade rollovers

Hi all,
Trying to create the ease-in effect for the nav buttons, but to no avail.
I've pasted in the code, but doesn't seem to target the :hover.
http://makingdesign.com.au/index-new.html
What am I doing wrong?
Michael

Nancy,
Thank you for your reply.
I am using this example you gave me for my menu list:
Multi-Colored List Menu ~
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/Multi-colored-list-menu.shtml
It is looking good except for a couple of things.
I can not figure out how to change the box size of the Vertical List Menu.
Here is my work for the vertical menu. These boxes should be 260px wide x 54 px high.
On the horizontal list, is there a way to make the active area larger? (like hotspots)? When you cursor over them they do not change unless you move the cursor to the top of the link name. Also, in the browser, when i click any link, they all change to the "visited" state. That work is here.
I am learning this by reverse designing the code. I took your code and changed a bit at a time. Since I am using both vertical and horizontal menus on the same page, I assume that I have to change the name of one of the lists from #rollover to #somethingElse?
Thank you,
Matt

Captivate 7 Crashes When Applying Effect

Hi Everyone: I am using Captivate 7.0.0.118 on a Windows 8 machine. I am trying to apply the "ease in" effect to a smart object on a slide. Every time I go to apply the effect and click "Live Preview" Captivate stops responding and requires me to close the program. I have tried running as administrator and also have cleared preferences from the utils folder. I would really like to add some animation and visual effects to this project, but I can't waste the time having it crash. The project is being developed from a template provided by my customer. If I try to apply the "ease in" to a blank project, it works just fine.
Any way to troubleshoot the template from my customer or why the template would cause this issue. Any thoughts / advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

HI there
Have you tried isolating the object and placing it in a new project, applying the ease in, then copying and pasting it into the desired project?
Maybe that will get you going.
Cheers... Rick

Easing on Scrolling components

Hi All, is there any way to, or any plans for easing type effects on scrolling components? eg slider stops but the scrolling content slows down.
It's just such a common but effective look at the moment.
Cheers as always
Laz

Flash Catalyst doesn't support easing control of scrolling components right now mainly because the Flex 4 SDK doesn't support easing control on scrolling components.
Flex 4 made some wonderful improvements to scrollers by adding animation behavior (see a video tutorial at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/codedependent/animated-scrollbar-and-slider-in-flex-4/), but the SDK doesn't provide an easy way to customize the animation, including easing.
I think easing would be a fantastic feature to add since easing scrollers seems to be a popular animation in GUI's right now. Thanks for brining this up.
It looks like there are a few work around you could consider:
1) If it ok to have your scrolling content in an embeded swf, this use an easing scroller in Flash, export the swf, and import it into Catalyst.
Here is an easing scroller for Flash I found online
http://activeden.net/item/easing-scrollbar/236
2) If you take your project into Flash Builder, you can build your own custom scroller that supports easing. You might try using this Flex 3 based easing scroller that I found online: http://npacemo.com/wordpress/2009/10/24/flex-3-animated-scrolling-aka-smooth-scroll/

Sorry guys for the dumb question, but i'm just learning After Effects and I can't find an answer anywhere...
so, if I hit F9 and easy ease my effects, and after a few actions decide to undo it (control+z is out of the question at this point) - how do i do that?
anyone?
thanks!

Thoughts on new(est) clarity (Lr4.0)?

My .02
=====
Review of old clarity (PV2010):
Mostly increased midtone contrast, but also would darken dark edges (and produce a faint glow in adjacent light areas - "halos"). Would not clarify shadows. Because highlight recovery in Lr3 was weak, one needed to keep contrast low-ish to keep from blowing out the highlights. Old clarity was often the bridge that allowed that extra sense of midtone contrast. Had a way of really darkening dark edges and fine regions, not just brightening light edges and fine regions. I used it on >50% of my photos.
Enter PV2012:
Offers the tools to produce magically clear photos to begin with, and allows strong midtone contrast via contrast slider without losing highlight detail, so extra clarity is not usually needed.
New clarity (Lr4-beta):
Brightened and clarified everything. Gave things a bit of a gritty/grungy look, in my opinion. Not appropriate for most photos (great for others...). I used it on <10% of my photos (way less). One may have needed to compensate for its effects by -exposure...
New(est) clarity (Lr4.0):
In many ways similar to new clarity in the beta, but in many ways very different, and more similar to old clarity from PV2010. Like new(beta) clarity, it affects all regions, but has less of a gritty/grungy look, and like old clarity (pv10), accents the darks more than brightening the lights. I don't use a global dose of it on most photos, but I do use a touch of it on far more photos than new(beta) clarity.
If more than a touch is used, it will produce significant darkening most prevalent at the bottom-most end - will even increase black clipping. One may need to compensate via +blacks...
+blacks undoes some of what +clarity does in the shadows, thus it is a very valuable method for "easing" its effect in the shadows, which can otherwise be a bit "much" sometimes.

You're welcome .
hamish niven wrote: I will definitely play with the whites as it really makes the images sing a little.
My whites rule:
* +whites if possible (and desirable), -whites if necessary (or desirable).
hamish niven wrote: I'm a great fan of compressed blacks, so Ive not pushed the blacks above +10
I've learned not to think of blacks as setting the amount of blacks, or setting black clip point, but as the shadow slider's partner in determining the ratio of deep-shadow to shallow-shadow fill, as nececessary, if necessary, for the individual photo. I mean sometimes shadows slider alone can provide sufficient shadow fill and blacks can be set to clip, but sometimes the blacks slider must take a more active roll in filling the shadows, and tone curve used instead of blacks slider to set amount of blacks to "crush". And now that I've discovered its other purpose as partner to +clarity... I've been able to jack clarity up to 100 and as long as +blacks is high enough they don't look nearly so over clarified (so far only for testing...) - especially if you lower regular contrast too. Its possible to have blacks set way high and still have lots of clipped blacks, and sometimes it may be just the right thing to do.
An extreme example, working from your original (tiny - from the web page as we see it - I should have saved the bigger image "behind" it) ALREADY COOKED jpeg - so settings are not what they would be for the raw:
Anyway, you know - PV2012 slider values can be very non-intuitive: highlights = -50 may still mean really bright highlights...
I'll be looking for your horse to race.
PS - I don't think new(est) Lr4.0 clarity is gritty and grungy. In fact, the word "clean" springs to mind to describe it. I did think Lr4-beta clarity was gritty and grungy. Eric figured out what it was and fixed it. New(est) clarity tends to look "blackened" fairly quickly if pushed, which is why the +blacks compensation is so exciting. As far as I'm concerned, Lr4.0 clarity is way better than the beta.
Also, as you may have already noticed, +vib/sat can help make up for loss of color due to +clarity.
Cheers,
Rob

Gradient problem in Fireworks

Hello.
I am having a serious problem with gradients in Fireworks.
The display of every gradient looks like there is not enough
quality so there will be visible stripes that makes it look
insufficient. E.g. a simple box made with the Rectangle tool and a
gradient preset looks like it´s a gif export with way to few
colors.
I´ve tried three different computers and screens.
I´ve checked my program configuration. I´ve searched the
internet and I can´t find anything or anyone who seems to have
a similar problem.
I´ve compared it to Photoshop and there it works
perfectly.
It looks the same in Fireworks it self as it does if I try to
export JPG - full quality.
All the three computers I´ve tried it on have CS3 on
them. The fourth one though didn´t have this "bug", and that
one had never seen CS3, instead I installed a trial of Macromedia
Fireworks 8 and there it worked perfectly. And two of the computers
I´m trying this on have previously had Fireworks 8 with no
problem at all. But since then I have formatted them and put the
operating system on from scratch.
Enough of explanation. Has anyone been through something
similar or does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this problem
of mine?
Every suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

OT: Audio Level Adjustment in Premiere

In broadcast interview situations, the interviewee often continues to speak but the audio disappears without a fade out or sudden cutoff. One frame the subject is talking, the next just his lips are moving until the segue back to the interviewer.
What's the secret to doing this sort of edit? When I do this using volume effects, I either get an obvious fade as the volume goes to zero, or a get a sudden cutoff that's never clean sounding. Razoring a audio track often comes across too abrupt and obvious. How is this done?
Thanks

No, this is a pretty common technique, though I don't seem to see it too often at the end of a soundbite. It's used frequently in news magazine types of shows, most often when introducing a person or interview subject to the viewer for the first time. For example:
You're watching a story about competitive potato chip eating. You've just seen a few moments of location b-roll and action footage of potato chip eating competitions, whilst the reporter uses a voiceover to begin telling the story, probably about the rigors of training for such an event. As the reporter begins to talk about the world-ranking potato chip eater, the video cuts to this individual in an interview setting, and it's clear from the video that he's blathering away. However, there is no audio from the interview, just the reporter's VO setting up the soundbite. You might hear something like, "Joe Schmo, world-ranking potato chip eater, trains over sixty hours each week". At that point, the interview audio cuts in quickly, almost as if it's completing the thought in the VO, eg. "Training is hard work. It's almost like a job". And so on and so forth...
You could do the same to exit from a soundbite, but I personally think that means you've selected the wrong soundbite to use. The interviewee isn't completing the thought, hence the need to dip out of the audio quickly. That said, you can achieve this pretty easily with a very short audio dissolve or (my preference) by keyframing the volume rubberband for a particular clip. It's easier to ramp the audio for a slight ease in/ease out effect that can soften the cut. Something in the neighborhood of 3-4 frames should be all you need. If it's still too abrupt, you may have to lay in some room tone/ambient sound in order to bridge the cut. You can then put a slightly longer fade on this clip to more transparently transition out of the interview.

CUBE Automatic Audio Level Adjustment

I am looking for some assistance on the following scenario.
SIP Provider ---- Cisco CUBE (3925) ---- CUCM 9.1 ------ 7945G.
The 7945G places outbound call to a remote device. The remote device says the audio level is low. Is there a way on the CUBE to ensure an automatic gain control?
We are looking to do this at the CUBE level as to normalize the audio level as we have a hundred people making 10,000 to 12,000 calls per day.
I have found the following command for the dial-peer audio outgoing level-adjustment, but this appears to just adjust the gain/loss at a specific level, we are looking for it to dynamically adjust the gain/loss.
Thanks

Build and enable costum / pseudo efects

Hello AE Scripting forum,
I'm trying to build some costum effects for AE CS4 ( explained here: http://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/workflow/create-your-own-custom-effects/ here http://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/workflow/add-a-vignette-with-ease-custom-effect/ and here http://aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=515 ).
The xml element looks like this
<Effect matchname="tmnpuppet" name ="TMNpuppet">
<Slider name="sliderone=First Slider"default="0" valid_min="0" valid_max="100" slider_min="0" slider_max="100"/>
<Angle name="angleone=First Angle" default="0"/>
<Checkbox name="checkboxone=First Checkbox" default="true"/>
</Effect>
But I always get the errorcode:
German: Dieser PropertyGroup kann keine Eigenschaft mit dem Namen tmnpuppet hinzugefügt werden.
English The property "tmnpuppet" can not be added to this propertygroup.
Can somebody tell me what is wrong?
Thanx guys.
:F
here is the code I'm using.
//var effect = app.project.activeItem.layer(1).Effects.addProperty("tmnpuppet");
//effect.name = "TMNpuppet";
// Create Undo Group for Applying the Effect
app.beginUndoGroup("Enable Coustum Effect");{
   //Check for selected comp with alert if one isn't selected
   var activeItem = app.project.activeItem;
   if (activeItem == null || !(activeItem instanceof CompItem)){
      alert("Please select a Comp first");}
   else {
      //Define comp
      var mainComp = app.project.activeItem;
      //Make a Null Layer to apply The Custom Effect
      newNull = mainComp.layers.addNull();
      newNull.name = "My Custom Effect Null";
      //Add the effect
      try{
      newNull.Effects.addProperty("tmnpuppet");
      //newNull.Effects.addProperty("TMNpuppet");
      }catch (e){
            $.writeln(e);
      // close the undo group
      app.endUndoGroup();}}

Seems like i made a mistake while costumizing the PresetEffects.xml.
After grouped all the controllers
<Group name="headcontrol=headcontrol">
            <Slider name="eyes=eyes" default="0" valid_min="0" valid_max="100" slider_min="0" slider_max="100"/>
            <Slider name="mouth=mouth" default="0" valid_min="0" valid_max="100" slider_min="0" slider_max="100"/>
</Group>
it worked.
Thanx anyway to everybody who started thinkin…
