Fast moving objects get "cropped"

I have got this annoying problem with Flash. Whenever I tween an object fast across the screen the part which points to the direction of the movement of the object gets cropped.
Here is an example:
The circle is moving across the screen roughly 3 times every second and as you can see, the front has magically disappeared for some reason. Same thing happens for objects moving slower aswell but the cropped off part is smaller. I could not printscreen this as the screen pauses on the current frame when you do that so that is why I used an external camera. Updating my graphic card drivers has not solved the problem.
Has anyone else ever had this problem?
Any help is appreciated.

the only other options for you are:
1. optimize the performance of your swf, in general. (a complex topic for advanced developers.) but the simplest performance enhancement would be to enable the cacheAsBitmap properties of all other objects that would benefit.
2. upgrade your computer's graphics capabilities.
3. ignore the problem if it only occurs on computers that have such limited capabilites that it's not likely to impact many users.

How to desaturate only a moving object???

I am trying desaturate a fast moving object....basically want the person who is moving fast to be in color but everything else desaturated and then vise versa.
Can anyone give me some pointers, I have Color as well if it is easier. I just cant seem to figure this out. All help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Actually, it sounds like you're trying to desaturate everything but the fast moving object... which leads one to ask how you might isolate that...
If everything is moving (including the camera), you're kinda SOL... however, you might be able to use a difference matte filter to get what you're looking for.
Put a copy of your clip on V2, over the same clip on V1. Add a difference matte filter to the clip on V2. Put a clip that's one frame off from your clip into the image well. Things that move slowly will not have much difference frame to frame, things that are moving faster will have more. Adjust your settings so only the moving object generates a mask.
Use color correction on the two clips to achieve your effect...

How do you filter out moving objects in a movie?

Hello!
I'v searched the internet for solutions to this but I cann't find any.
Im prittie new and I need to make a house on fire while two guys (one is me)
will be walking away from it, towards the camera.
I want to filter out these two guys and only apply fire and flames to the house itself!
To do this I used Time Diffrence and tried to isolate the guy using Fast Blur and Luma Key
but Im prittie lost.. Nothing works and I really need guidence
Do you know a trick to use?
I cant do greenscreening as the green background would cost a fortune..
But isn't there anyway to filter out moving objects?

I'm not sure that you totally get the process. This kind of shot requires at least 3 elements or plates. These three plates become three layers in After Effects. The bottom layer would be the Background Plate which is a shot of the house without any actors in the shot. The next plate would be the Effect Plate or Fire Plate which could be any shot you can get or generate through plug-ins of flames. The top layer would be your Foreground Plate or your two actors.
Now that you know what you need you can plan your shoot. The background plate is easy. Just set the camera on a tripod and lock it off. NO zooming. No panning, No change of focus. The foreground plate is also easy. You don't have to green screen the entire set, all you need to do is to put a green screen behind your actors. I do this kind of thing all the time using a 6' X 6' (sometimes smaller) green screen (or blue or red or purple) made of fabric and stretched over a frame that I made from 1/2" EMT electrical conduit and 4 90º elbow connectors for less than $20 at Home Depot or Lowes. You get a couple of assistants to walk behind your actors holding the green screen behind them. If you need to include their feet they can be easily rotoscoped out later and you can garbage matte everything else. If it's impossible to green screen the shot then you are stuck with roto, but that's much easier in CS5 using the roto brush. If you use your show with the actors as the background plate roto is even easier because you can hide a multitude of sins by simply feathering the roto and letting the fire light wrap around the actors a bit.
The fire plate can be purchased footage, or you could shoot a real fire against a black background, or you could create the flames using AE or even a 3D app like Blender (free) or a bunch of other apps.
Making the shot look real requires a few tricks once you have your clean plates. Fire creates light so you've got to add lighting effects to the background plate to sell the fire. You've also got to wrap light around your actors. Look for tutorials on light wrap for this. You can really help sell the effect if you place some flickering light sources behind and to the side of your actors when you shoot the foreground (actors) plate.
Once you get a handle on these techniques it's fairly easy to make the transition to pulling of this kind of a shot with a hand held camera (now you have to learn motion tracking). On a project I recently completed we had to put a fire in a prop fireplace while actors moved around bringing milk and cookies for Santa. It was all roto and the fire was shot at night with nothing more than a black cloth (Duvetyne) behind the fireplace grate. The final composite was 10 layers and was so totally believable that no one questions the shot.
The layers were from top to bottom, reflection in grandmas glasses, light wrap, actors (roto of original background plate), fire flicker layer, color mask layer (more orange around fire, fire glow layer, fire layer in Add mode, second fire layer in screen mode, third fire layer Luma keyed, and finally the original plate which contained all the actors, carefully lit with flickering firelight simulated by dangling a stick with fabric cut into 1/2 inch wide strips about one foot long in front of a orange gelled light behind and to the right of the actors.
If I get a chance I'll post a screenshot.
Here you go:

Trouble selecting and moving objects near text in Adobe Illustrator? Try this.

It's been 4 years since I left Corel DRAW for Adobe Illustrator. One thing I could never get used to is the crazy way text has an impenetrable invisible sheet over it making it hard to select objects near or behind it.
With Corel DRAW I was used to be able to select text by simply clicking on the visible area of the text. Selecting stuff behind the text by clicking between letters or right next to a decender was never a problem. But Illustrator is a different story.
Tonight I finally found a way to make selecting text in Illustrator behave more like Corel DRAW.
I wrote it up here: http://www.johnstanowski.com/blog/trouble-selecting-and-moving-objects-near-text-in-adobe- illustrator-try-this/
Just thought I'd share!

It's not spam, but thanks for assuming.
I was up really late writing that blog post. Posting a link was the quickest way to share and be able to go to bed.
Plus it's rather lengthy. I thought that would be rude to use an Adobe forum for my articles.
If you saw my blog you will have seen there's not much going on there at all, and no calls to action to hire me. I don't have anything to gain by getting traffic.
And, yeah, layers work for selecting, but that slows you down. Who would want to look away from their work to find and select a layer when they're trying to tweak positions of objects? Layers suck for selecting quickly.
And there must be something wrong with me but I find using Type Object Selection by Path Only by itself hard to use. I'd really just like to click on the text itself rather than an invisible hairline you have to probe to find.
Here's the post. I hope people who had trouble like me find it helpful.
Do you have trouble selecting objects near Point Type in Adobe Illustrator? You’ve been there. You want to select an object. Problem is, it’s really close to piece of Point Type. All too often we try to select objects that wind up being unreachable because they lie too close to a piece of Point Type, which we wind up selecting instead. Luckily, after years of angst, I discovered a solution.
Point Type in Adobe Illustrator is funny. There’s this invisible “shield” around it. This shield is much larger (at least it seems that way) than the text itself. It prevents you from selecting objects behind text by clicking between letter and words. This shield is particularly meddlesome with lowercase letters and decenders because we think surely we can click on that blue box (or whatever) because it seems far enough away from that Point Type. But the lowercase “g” in the Point Type’s territory.
Okay, now that we know we’re talking about the same thing, let’s move on to the solutions.
Step 1. Check ‘Type Object Selection by Path Only’ in Preferences
You’ll find this option in Preferences/Type. Click it and that nasty text shield goes away. But there’s a price to pay. With this option activated, the only way you can select your text is by clicking on the text path, a super, tiny, thin baseline thingy under all the letters, but above decenders. It’s really hard to grab. To do it right you need to slowly approach the text path with your cursor. When you’re right over it, Illustrator will let you know by adding a small black square to your cursor. Now, you can click, hold and move your text. But this workflow can really slow you down and break your rhythm, maybe even more so with it turned off.
Step 2. Add the ‘Outline Object’ Effect
Select your Point Type and, from under the Effects Menu/Path/, select Outline Object. This effect does something really sweet to text in Illustrator: it lets your Point Type objects be treated as if their were converted to Outlines. You can still edit the text, but as far as selecting it, Illustrator now considers it outlines and shapes instead of a text object. Basically, it now considers the Path of the text to be the text itself! Now, since we’ve already checked ‘Type Object Selection by Path Only’ we can now click on the text to select it. Just the text. Not the baseline, not the wacky invisible shield surrounding it.
And now… you can select things behind the text by clicking between words and letters. And the ONLY way to select Point Type is to click on the visible parts of the text itself! Problem solved.
Potential Problem:
Too much of a good thing could be a bad thing. Let’s say you have some Point Type set in a very light face and it’s pretty small or you’re zoomed way out. Selecting that text could be a problem since you have to actually click on the text itself. Actually it isn’t that hard, it may just require an extra click to grab it. If you have a set of smaller, light-faced bits of text, you can elect to just not apply the Outline Object effect to these. They’ll get their ‘shield’ back and be easier to click on. And since they’re so small, they don’t pose a problem with selecting things behind them anyway.
Applying this technique to your old files
Now that you’ve learned this awesome new way to work around type in Illustrator, you may be anxious to open yesterday’s project and get back to work. But you may be not be looking forward to applying the Outline Object effect to each and every piece of type. For this you can use Illustrator’s “Select Same” feature. Select one piece of text. Then from the Select Menu click on Object/Text Objects. Now ALL of your text objects will be selected, and you can apply the Outline Object effect to all of them at once!
That’s it. If you build ads or work with a lot of type in Illustrator, you’re about to be able to work a lot faster… and happier.

Crash when moving objects...

I have a HUGE problem... in fact I have had lots of problems with Illustrator... but this is anoying.
At least 10 times a day the program just crashes when moving objects... some time text, some time pictures, sometime lines.
Every time i submit a CRASH report with the details... but really I think they are TRASH reports, I mean I have NEVER get an answer, update or ANYTHING from ADOBE.
Last week I almost lost my job because of the ineficiency of the program, the thing is that I used to work with Corel and I was the one who tooked the desicion to change to Illustrator, so I spend the money on an entire suite,GOD!!
My question is simple, it may sound bad, but honestly Can I get my money back? Does anyone have heard about someone getting just so frustrated with the suite like me?
I love PS, I work just fine with DW, but Illustrator and Adobe support is killing me and leaving me without job.

Positioning moving objects

I'm getting ready to make a 2d game and wasn't sure how to draw moving objects on the screen. I've played around in the past and always had a fixed sized window and basically moved objects around on a pixel grid. I want to have a resizeable window but keep the relative size and movements of objects the same. How is this usually done? Should I just render it to the largest possible window size and then transform it to the appropriate size? Thanks in advance!

1- Store locations by ratios, not exact coordinates. So if you want a GameObject's location to be in the direct middle of the screen, its position would be (.5, .5). Then when you go to draw that GameObject, you have to convert that position to screen coordinates. You do this simply by multiplying the ratio-coordinates by the game window's width or height.
2- Store locations by some model coordinates. This is similar to the first method, but requires some extra translation. You would store the GameObject's location via coordinates such as (50, 50), but you would also have to keep track of how large your game window model was (for simplicity's sake, let's say it is 200 by 100):
drawPoint( (gameObject.getX() / 200) * gamePanel.getWidth(), (gameObject.getY() / 100) * gamePanel.getHeight() );Does that make any more sense?
Edit- I should say that there probably are a ton of other ways to do it, these are just the ways that most easily fit into my head. It's all just algebra though.

Blur moving object in AE CS6

Hi:
I need to blur a moving object:
- The effect is only needed at some point of the video, it must appear, and then disappear, not being on screen the whole time.
- The object is moving, and changing shape, the blur must adapt to it.
- I've been trying to use the "Track Motion" option with Position & Rotation, then the "Analyze Forward" button, but the thing makes a mess all over, it's not following the object at all, then if You try to adjust it manually, it's only done in 1 frame, in the other frames the thing is off the object, then the "Tracking" stays on screen.
Thanks in advance.

Are you saying that you have something in some video that you have shot that you want blurred out? If so, you could create an adjustment layer with a mask on it over the object you want to blur and then just animate the mask over time. Now, you could use motion tracking to help that mask follow the object, but it sounds like you are having trouble with getting it to work properly. Try the tips here for doing motion tracking correctly. Alternatively, you could follow the tips on rotoscoping to make the mask animation go more quickly. Also, if you have After Effects version 12 (also known as AE CC), you can use the new mask tracker feature.

Lines on moving objects

When I export DV clips from FCE I get lines appear on moving objects, (HDTV). When I export the same clip using iMovie08 it all looks smooth.
I've tried the de-interlace, it made it worse.
How can I get rid of the lines in FCE?

.. not to export at all, that simple..
the zillions of Export options could cause trouble.
simply, store your iM projects in the 'Movies' folder of your Mac ...
iDVD will 'find' them automatically and cares for itself to import..
Plan B)
drag'n drop the whole project from Finder to iDVD.. again: no export involved, no trouble..

Fast moving stock list

i would like to get fast moving stock items for monthly random checking ,please if you know any transaction code for that, i used the T-code MC46 for slow moving items but i couldn't generate any good report from it,please advice for tutorial how to get good result through it ,and i need to know if the T-code MC46 give you when last time the stock item was used but i need the movements of stock
please advice

Hi,
In SAP there is no standard report to get fat moving items. On what basis you want to identify the material as fast moving. Lets say consumption or sales. Iwant to share one solution regarding this. You can use ABC analysis as a determinant.Using OMCO, you can define cycle counting indicators such that "A" materials might be the top 40% of your inventory (by turnover), "B" the next 30%, and so on. You can then run transaction MIBC which automatically updates the CC indicator on selected materials. The advantage of this approach is that - even if you don't use the cycle counting method for phys inv - you can regularly set and update the indicator on the material master. That way, it is very easy to write a query (SQ01) that lists only "A" items. Note also that ABC indicators exist in other areas (eg PM) but these generally need to be maintained manually. Also, if it's sales you want to focus on (as opposed to consumption/turnover), then sales specific reports MCQ+1 might give good results. Thanking you..

Count moving object (Inter the ROI from one side and leave ROI from other side)

Hello All
I want to design program that can counting moving object that inter ROI from one side and come out from the other side, I want to give each object ID number
I have design a program that compare between object distances from one frame to the next frame, but the program efficiency is very low
If any one can give me a sample code that I can use or modify it to suite my application

Hello,
you will find the code in the attachment (saved for LV2013). There is a longer delay inside the loop, remove it for efficiency.
Roughly measuring the time to read an image, the processing takes ~8 ms on my computer (~500x200 image resolution). That is ~125 samples/images per second. Is this not fast enough for you? Considering better image resolution, the time is of course increased.
My specifications:
Core i7 3632QM
6 Gb RAM
Win 7 x64 (Labview x86 though).
Best regards,
K

How to manage slow and fast moving goods in Demand Planning

Hi All,
Kindly let me know how to manage slow and fast moving goods in Demand Planning.
1. First how to detect slow and fast moving goods
2. which DP model to use
3. Any Best practice while dealing with slow and fast moving goods
Thanks
Arun

Arun,
There are two main concerns with forecasting slow moving goods. For fast moving, yes, trend, level and seasonality combined with a decent demand level gets you through.
So, either you don't have demand in the market for that product; if the product is not critical (like go/no go spare parts) I recommend just averaging out the demand over a period and going with that. Any errors incurred there won't have a significant business impact. On the other hand if it is critical, safety stock and/or contractual obligations come to play.
OR, if there is market demand but your market share is too low for whatever reason, then it gets tricky because you need a predictor variable(s) for which you have good knowledge off (such as CPI index, demand for related products, etc). The forecast is then done on the predictor variable(s) and the low market share applied to 'translate' the expected demand to the product in question. Unfortunately, the case of low demand/low market share I have no idea of how to implement it on SAP. Since forecasting is just the tip of the iceberg, it may pay to do it outside of SAP (say in Excel) and manually input it (unless the products are many and varied).
Hope this helps. Please let me know if this makes sense and/or applies to your question.

How to create a HMI page to control moving object

Hello
Good day
I want create a Pc based HMI page to control the moving object (robot). I dont have knowledge in HMI. Plz help me with some ideas.
My application conditions:
In HMI page - to show input distance(X), start values (W- weights) which gives output(Q(X)) in two condition
Q< 0 - move forward
Q< 0 - stop (or move backward)
And also feedback is given to input which give new start vaues (weights) and output runs contuinously.
Equation in matrix form : X^T = (distance 1 ) , W^T = (W1 W0)
output Q(X^T) = X.W^T = Distance. W1 + W0
Plz plz help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi chittu,
Developping code with LabVIEW always takes place in two separate windows, the block diagram and the frontpanel.
In the block diagram you will do all programming operations like implementing your equation in program code.
In the frontpanel you have the possibility to pre-give and adjust the input parameters for your equation, e.g. X, W.
You can also display any values from the block diagram, e.g. Q(X), in a graph. So that is your HMI.
Being able to send commands to your robot and communicate with it, you will need a hardware driver.
In LabVIEW, you can use VISA to implement nearly every Hardware-driver available.
The conclusion is, that LabVIEW is the perfect tool for your intent. But even if programming with LabVIEW is intuitive and effective, it is not trivial.
So I strongly recommend you to learn LabVIEW in a professional way. In my opinion the best way to do that is to visit LabVIEW courses,
where professional teachers will give you the needed knowledge and the skills to realize your project.
The following links give you an overview of the courses, the possibilities to learn LabVIEW and some getting started hints.

Poor Capture on moving objects

I know similar questons like this were asked before, with the results blamed on the camera, but here is my problem: I have a fixed position camera and need to capture a still image with a small moving object (about 10-15mph). When I do a capture, the moving object in the image is unclear (not blurry, more like odd and even fields aren't sync'd). I know it's not the camera, because I have a digital taped copy from that camera, and it's clean when I pause the tape. I'm using a 1411 board on a p4 system. I have included two images - the first image is from a live capture, the second is the digital tape paused and then captured (to show that the camera is not at fault). The moving object in the image is a dog jumping into the water at
about the 13 foot mark on the back of the dock.
Thank you,
-Dave

Dave,
Actually, it is the camera. The odd and even fields are taken at different times, so they don't match up. To do this properly, you need to use a non-interlaced camera.
The reason the pause looks good is because the camera is cheating just a little bit. To eliminate the blur, it only uses the lines from the odd frame, and interpolates to create the even lines. I can duplicate the process on your live image using Corel PhotoPaint, and I get an image that looks just like your paused image. If you look closely at the paused image, you notice that some things look a little blockier and blurrier than the live image.

DaNI following a moving object using it's ultrasonic sensor

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction/ help me out.
Is it possible to program daNI to follow a moving object throught the use of it's ultrasonic sensor?
I ask as i aim to (hopefully) create a platoon of daNI using this program.
So far I've seen an awesome example of a daNI platoon from the UCLA Mechanical Eng. department, found here:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/12902
If i read correctly, UCLA used an infrared sensor to get the daNI to follow each other.
My project aims to have a lead daNI that follows a specified path (or even just a straight line) and the following daNI will use the program I'm requesting further info for.
Regardless, if anyone could share any knowledge, links, or example code to kick me in the right direction, I would be very thankful.
Many Thanks,
Mike ^^,

Hello,
I think the examples in that link are using the ultrasonic sensor, you can see the little sensor moving left to right on top and they have placed a sheet of paper to get a good 'bounce'.
Getting a daNI to follow in a straight line should be fairly straightforward as you can get a distance and use that as feedback for your motors. I think using daNI's onboard sensor to follow a curved path would be quite difficult. In the linked video you can see that the robots are quite slow as they have to perform an entire sweep of their sensor before they can act. Traditional following systems use 2 sensors placed a distance apart from which you can measure the intensity of a sent signal and therefore calculate a rough position.
In terms of material, the courseware is pretty good for getting you started with daNI:

Otherwise a browse of the Robotics community is a great place to go:
