I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking. Filters are basically ignored by the tracker. Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker. Did you change the timing after doing the tracking? If so this would also require you to re-track the shot. Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.
Cheers!

Fade in two text bullet points on main menu

How can I fade in two text bullet points on the main menu once the main menu appears. The main menu is designated as first play and once the bullet points fade on they stay static on the menu. They are just brief instructions and aren't buttons.
Thanks.

Need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in...

Hi all im quite new to after effects and need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in. I also need to create a basic cross image. If anyone could suggest the best way to go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Thank you for both of your reponses and I will try and be clearer:
what I want to acheive is a HD motion graphic of text which will almost spin onto the screen letter my letter and then a become static word. Behind this I would like to place a moving image clip.
By 'basic cross image' what im looking to do is use a cruifix shape instead of a 't' on the text.
I hope this makes sense and thanks again!

Background, Images, & text is blacked out. I can not see any menus to edit anything...
The curser shows there are links when you move over. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and restarted my computer with no luck.
I can not see the menus to try and reset Firefox or change any settings.
HELP Please

hello obrienn214, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Fade effect bold text in all IEs

I have created the following page
Cnet about
and used the spry fade effect on the section of text at the bottom
below the "A Sampling of what we offer" graphic.
It works fine but in IE6 and IE7 when viewed on an LCD
monitor, the bold blue text looks very choppy. I assume this has to
do with bad handling of opacity in IE. Does anyone know a hack to
fix this?

Hi artdoggy,
That is an IE bug with several workarounds. The first
workaround which is much simpler, is to specify a background color
or font on the element that you are fading in. This somehow
triggers IE to avoid this behavior.
The other workaround is to use an effect onPostEffect
observer or finish function to unset the filter function on the
element. You can see sample of how to use an observer here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/effects/observers_sample.html
You'll have to do something like this in your observer:
effect.element.style.filter = "";

Removing background from text?

Hi All. I am a very new user to Flash and know my question is
probably extremely basic but I can't figure out what I'm doing
wrong.
I am trying to place fading text on top of an image and when
I create the animation, it places it on a white (specified)
background. The animation I have created is on its own layer. So my
question would be, how do I remove the background from my text? I
would like a transparent background so my text fades in right on
top of my image.
Right now, the initial image with falling snow starts and
about 25 frames in, it turns to white and the text fades in...how
do i get rid of the white so the text fades in and you are still
able to see the image and the falling snow?
I am very very new to Flash (3 days in) and although this is
a ridiculously easy task to perform in photoshop, I cannot grasp
how to do it in flash cs4. Thank you, in advance, for any help I
may receive. I'm trying hard to learn this medium...

Select the textfield on the stage and see if the icon remains
unselectable... if so, what version of Flash are you using (I'm
just curious if it's CS4)?
Another way to remove the textfield background/border is thru
actionscript. The textfield must have an instance name to be able
to do this. Let's say you name it tFeld. In a timeline layer for
actions, select the first frame of the actions layer where the
textfield appears on the timeline below it (I only assume it's on a
layer below somewhere) anmd type the following in the actionscript
editor window:
tField.background = false;
tField.border = false;
If none of the above works, then I have a feeling I'm
misinterpretting the scenario. I'm assuming the textfield includes
its own background at that there isn't some other background
involved that you area talking about.

Workaround for the Fade/Appear blocky text problem in IE

Just wanted to share with folks a workaround for the IE
"blocky text" problem that you see when using Fade effects like the
one used in this example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DetailRegionEffectsSample.html
It turns out if you set the 'background' CSS property on the
element you are fading, that IE properly renders the text. So to
fix the effects sample above, all you would have to do is modify
this CSS rule in the file to place a background color on the
description region to get things to look good in IE:
#description {
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
background: white;
So if folks have been avoiding the use of effects because it
makes things look terrible in IE, you now have a workaround.
--== Kin ==--

I was using spry's AppearFade effect to transition between
"slides" in what equates to a viewstack that I created.
Then I noticed that it would take bold text in IE and make it
look all smudgy or blurry.
Well, after working on it for a while, I got to thinking,
"This problem is specific to text rendered in MicroSofts
browser"... "Hmmm, I wonder".
So, I tried using this style rule: [ font-family:"MS Sans
Serif",Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; ].
Lo and behold, feed the stupid MS browser an MS font and it
does not blur the text.
I just wanted to get this our there. Because someone might
want to solve this in a way where they don't have to set a
background color...

Page Gradient Color fades when adding text.

Hi,
I've made several pages for my iWeb created site. Each page has a unique gradient color applied to it using the standard: Page inspector>Layout>Page Background>Gradient Fill commands. I've added a movie to this page and it all looks great. However, the moment I add a text box, the gradient color is drained of its saturation. A gold color turns to a pale yellow. A dark grey gradient turns to a light grey etc. When I publish the site, this desaturation is translated to the actual site online. Any Ideas? I've not done anything unique to the text. I just add a text box, type a word, drag into position and bam, just like that, the gradient color fades. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Chris

Chris:
Just ran a test and adding a text box didn't cause the gradient fill to lose saturation. Try the following:
1 - close iWeb and delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - reboot (clears the iWeb caches).
3 - launch iWeb, redo the page and try again.
I only published the page to a folder on the HD and not to the server but don't think that would produce any different results.

Animated QuickTime backgrounds with text bullet points over it????

The bullet point lines would need to animate on screen at the user's interaction (clicking the mouse or pressing arrow key). I tried this in PowerPoint and it didn't work. Every time you hit the arrow key or click the mouse to animate the first bullet point the movie in the background freezes and comes to the front covering the bulleted text.

yes, you can do this in Keynote. The only issues might be that on some machines, if you are using the presenter layout on your laptop screen, the video will stutter as you build in each bullet. Turning off the presenter tools usually takes care of that. Also, you can't extend the video onto a second slide, so anything you want to build in front of that video must be on THAT slide. Lastly, video currently pauses during a slide transition in Keynote, so even if you do a cross dissolve to the next slide, hoping for a smooth video to video transition, it won't be smooth, the video will freeze as it fades into the next one, which will also be frozen, then the next one will start playing.

Flash CS4 - Can I change the colors of the background or text that shows up in the Layers section?

I am stuggling here! I am colorblind. I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline. I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing. It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color. I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text. Changing the text color would really be my preference. How do I do this? Please help. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff. Now this!

For Windows you can adjust your Theme (or download a new one and use that). This will alter the color of each layer, for example if you use Classic then it will use a very dark blue for layers that will provide higher contrast. I've downloaded other custom themes in the past that use a very dark grey for example.
(By the way, for Mac users go to Appearance in System Prefs and choose a different Highlight color - you can choose a default or custom one. That color is used for the layer color).

Dynamic background behind text?

At the present time I am creating my bible texts externally using a pleasant background, and saving as a JPEG. I superimpose this over the video. This works very well, but I would like to use a moving background at times.
The problem with the JPEG superimpose method is when I resize the text in the canvas, the background is also resized.
This question is probably located somewhere in the documentation, but so far I have not found it.
David

You can do all of this in FCE -
• Place your jpeg photo (just the photo, no text) in your sequence.
• Place a text generator clip (Boris Title 3D, Lower Third, etc.) on the next higher video track, above the photo. (If your photo is on V2, put the text clip above it on V3 ...)
• You can then modify/adjust the picture and the text independently.
Note: you may need to add a track - just drag your clip into the grey area above the existing video tracks and a new track will be added; or Control-click in the grey area above the existing video tracks and then click Add Track.
