Fading garbage mask with scrolling text

Hello,
I have some scrolling text which I have added a 4 point garbage mask to, I want the text to fade at the top of the screen where it disappears, instead of how it disappears now, it goes from totally visable to 100% gone, and looks unprofessional.
To clarify a little bit more : There is an image at the top of the screen, so I want the
text to scroll from the bottom of the screen, to the top of the screen, and fade away just as it almost hits the bottom of the image.
Thanks for any advice on how to adjust this
Dave.

I would use Pixelan SpiceMaster for that. Imagine the shot below to be your scrolling text, when it gets to the top of the screen it turns transparent and disappears.
When you combine this you can use scrolling titles like these with an increasing transparency at the top, like this one, where the top transparency was not yet added, but could very easily be made with SpiceMaster.

Help with Scrolling Text

I am a big iMovie fan, but I have just had a problem while attempting to create a video game trailer. I have never experienced this before, and I do not know how to get by it.
Ok. So I have 20 seconds of scrolling text, and about 28 lines of text. 247 characters with no spaces if you really want to know. I have 20 seconds of video behind it.
Here's the problem: The last five lines of text are cut off. They are completely normal: Helvectia, Bold, 16 size, Left sided, white. There is no fancy text or images around it besides for the video behind it. (It played fine before with no video behind it).
I've tried resizing the video, the text length, everything I can think of, and nothing works. Please help ASAP.
I am running this on a MacBook, iMovie '08, the total time of video is 41 seconds. The video behind the scrolling text is a .mov file.
Thanks!

Note: The problem seems to have fixed itself. I do not know what the problem was, but I was messing around with the text and I noticed the missing lines were back. If anybody knows what the problem was, or wants to contribute to this post, please do so.
Thanks!

Help finding Mac screensaver with scrolling text (Windows Marquee-esque)

I have been searching the internet somewhat intensely for a scrolling text screensaver for my Macbook. I found an Apple download called "message", but that is wayyy too fancy for me. I can barely even see the text with all of the crazy fonts and weird zooming. The emphasis is not on the text for that screensaver.
Something like the Windows Marquee would be fine, though I am sure somewhere out there is a tricked-out version for Mac. I would just want to be able to read the text clearly, as I intend to use the screensaver to help me to memorize some text.
Maybe I am overlooking an obvious screensaver already loaded on the Macbook, but I am surprised that Tiger does not come with such a screensaver. Any suggestions and links? Thank you

I think you should be able to find something that works for you using Quartz Composer. As an example, here is a link to someone else that was working on horizontal scrolling text. I don't know if their project got completed (or if it's currently included in Quartz Composer) but the .qtz file on this page will load in QuickTime so you can see the results as of this posting.
http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/weblog/2005/05/towardshorizontal_scrollingi.html
You get Quartz Composer by downloading the Xcode tools. I'm looking through the example libraries now to see if there's something you could use in the current examples.

: Hi
: You need that scrollbar under the item? You can set length
of
: text item and its size independently, so you can have text
item
: char(30) with size of 10 characters.
An alternative is to declare the item as a multi-line text item
with wrap set on. This would give you a vertical scroll bar on
the item.
Another option is to programmaticaly pop up an Editor, each time
focus is moved to the item, or to actually change the width of
the item when focus moves to it (and shrink it back when focus
moves away.

How to Create a Clipping Mask with LIVE TEXT?

Please, please, pease...there's has to be a way to do this.
I'm currently working on a project in which I have a background that has a large text layer above it. What I want to do is create a sort of "dynamic" clipping mask that essentially subtracts the shape of the text from the background yet remains editable as text in case I need to change the word or font.
However every way I've tried so far as been met with the backgrouns instead being constrained inside of the shape of the text...which is NOT what I want.
How can I do this while still having the text able to be edited?

An Opacity mask will work, but it will also move artwork from various layers to one layer.
You can get the same effect with a Layer Clipping mask and keep objects on their layers.
In this example only one layer is clipped, but you can drag as may as you want below the clipping layer.

Help with scrolling text file inside swf.

Hello, I am being brought in on a project developed by
someone else. Everything I have learned tells me to make an action
script layer that contains all the action script but this person
has not done that. It appears the script is on each component.
Anyway, LSS the Flash calls a text file that displays inside the
Flash and it is supposed to scroll but the problem is that if I add
to the text file the scroll does not extend. It stops and you can't
read the new content.

I looked at the code associated witht he scroll bar and it
reads:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.html=true;
myText_txt.htmlText = this.myVariable;
myData.load("myText1.txt");
What I am attempting to do is exactly what you have on your
web site under "publications".
I spoke to the developer of the FLA today and she use a
component and more or less punted. She sent me some links on scroll
bars and Flash. Bless her heart but I have Google too!
I made an attempt at making another FLA and assigned the
scroll bar after I had the txt file there but it didn't make any
difference.
How did you do the one on your site?

Problem with scrolling text through arrow keys after exporting file to html

I am using Fash Professional CS6. I have created a text box that I can scroll through the scroll wheel of my mouse, as the scroll bar is hidden. But when I try to scroll the text through the arrow keys it is not allowing me to so that. As this is website and everyone is not going to have a scroll wheel, I have to make the arrow keys work to scroll the text. Could you please help me in fixing this problem? I tried to search this problem, but I haven't seen any questions so far.

Layer mask with background animation

Hi all,
I am looking to create a video for my YouTube channel using Layer Mask but I am not too competent in using masks.
The logo for my channel is here:
I would like to create a moving background in where the coloured image is but I want to mask out the white areas and keep the text on top. Is it as simple as just creating a hexagonal layer mask with the text in a separate layer?
Thanks in advance,
M

Another way is to use a track matte.

HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM
found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures: LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...

EDGE and HTML dynamic text in a "box" with scroll bar

I'm new to EDGE, a win7pro master collection cs5.5 suite owner. I'm mainly in the Film/Video post production field (mostly AE, PPro, Pshop, IA) but have been branching into web design the last couple of years. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash. While I'm a expert user with all the Film/video apps, I would say I only have intermediate ability with the web apps. While I understand a lot of programing logic bulding blocks I'm not a coder.
So since we're told "flash is dead", my interest in Edge is to try to do some of the things that I can currently do in flash in EDGE. I was excited when Edge first came out but lost interest when it became obvious that Adobe was not going to offer Edge and Muse to "suite owners" but only in their force feeding of the "Cloud". Better known as the "golden goose" for adobe stockholders and a never ending perpetual hole in the pocket for users. Anyway....
I spent the last couple of days doing some of the tuts and messing with the UI. It's matured a lot since I was here last.
I've been working on a flash site for a sports team where one of the pages is a player profile page where college recuriters and other interested parties can view recuriting relavent info/stats about players. This is how it works. While on the "Team" page a users clicks on a button labled "Player Profiles" . (Animation) A "page" flies in and unfurls from the upper right corner (3d page flips effect created in AE played by flash as a frame SEQ). Once it lands filling most of the center of the screen there is a bright flash. As the brightness fades we see the "page" is a bordered box with a BG image of a ball field(End). (Animation) from behind the border in fly small pictures (player head shots with name and jersey number). They stream in and form a circle like a wagon train and the team logo zooms up from infinity to the center of the circle(End). As the user mouses over a player's pic it zooms up a little and gets brighter (like mouseover image nav thumbs for a image slider). If the user clicks on a player's head shot it flips over and scales up to become a text box with a scrollbar. The content of the box is a mix of images, static and dynamic text fields populated from data in an "player info data base" XML file, and some hyperlinks. It's all kept updated dynamicaly with current stats, info and images from the XML file. There is also a "PDF" button that allows the user to open/save/print a PDF of the player's profile (the PDF's are static files for now but the choice of which pdf to retrive is dynamicaly supplied via the XML file.
So.... Is Edge now able to do something like this? Would it need to be a collection of small animations? could these be "assembled" and connected as an asset in dreamweaver ?
I thought I would approach this from the end (ie click on an image and display a box with dynamic TEXT fileds. ) since that is the most important part, ie displaying the dynamicaly updated profile info. Sooooo....
Can Edge display a scrolling text box with Images, static text, and html dynamic text in it??

Problem with Java scrolling text window on Mac OS

The Java scrolling text window created by AWT "TextArea" scrolls in the normal way from the top on Windows, whereas it scrolls from the bottom on the Mac OS. That is, the text file is first displayed from the bottom on Mac, so that the user has to scroll to the top of the file each time a new page is opened, which is a very nuisance. Have you run into this problem and do you know how to over-ride the Mac OS default? Many thanks.

TextAreas suck in general, this has been discussed many time in the forum. As a duct-tape fix, you might play around with setCaretPosition() after inserting your new text. Good luck

Scrolling bar with external text

Hi,
I'm trying to create a scroller bar with external text on Flash, but not suceeding much. I want to do it in AS 2.0, as my whole website is created in AS 2.0. I found a tutorial on Kirupa for Flash MX 2004, but does not work with Flash CS4, which is what I'm running.
What I need is, basically, to have a scroll bar to scroll up and down an external text (XML or .txt). I just don't seem to be able to do it. Also, is there a way of customizing the scroll bar?
Thanks for the help!
N.

Hey, I had to do a VERY similar thing for a student project a
few months ago. If you go to
Flashkit.com, you can find
tutorials on how to import XML and CSS or XSL. I was able to do it
and I don't know a lot of actionscript. If you want to see how I
used it, go to
the University of Scranton's MIT
website.
Hope that helps!
