Flip book animation effect

Hey all,
I'm working on a project where we want to incorporate animated "doodles" on top of live action video footage. By doodles I mean very simple line drawings similar to this (especially the drawings over the man in jeans:
I want the viewer to see these being drawn onto the screen and I want them to continue to "wiggle, stutter, wobble, jitter, etc" as though they are hand drawn animations or an effect you would get from a flip book. In other words there is no animation happening but the lines are always moving. Think of an animated drawing instead of a static one. I hope I've accurately described what I am looking for.
My first question is: is it even possible to get this type of effect without physically drawing these things frame by frame by frame. It would be perfect if we could get an artist to draw the pictures and then use a program like after effects to give them the "jiggly" feel and use some sort of matte or write on effect to make it seem like they were being drawn into existence.
If indeed it is possible where should I look. http://nicholasridley.com/work/?p=178 This is the closest I have been able to come so far to an example of what I am trying to do. I'm not the animator or after effects person, just trying to help out a good friend and I apologize that so much of this is beyond my comprehension. Thanks for your patience.

"Flip-book" like image effect in Captivate 5

Hello all ! New to the forum and pretty new to captivate over here ! I just wondered if you could help me with something ! How to make a flip-book like image effect ? There is an example on slide 3 of this Captivate example : http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/educators/include/softskills_training/modal.html?w idth=752&height=440 Any help would be great ! And.. why is it everytime I press Enter it it drops the whole paragraph instead of making a new line ? Thanks !
I noticed the link doesn't seem to work,http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/captivate/
The presentation I mean is called "soft skills training"
Any help would be great !

Hi Scott.
As far as I know, that is not a function built into Cp5. It looks like some kind of flash animation/widget built otuside Captivate and then imported.
If someone else knows otherwise, please chime in. Or if that widget can be downloaded somewhere, I'd love to take a look at it.

Which product to use to build a "flip book" type of effect?

I have 67 digital photos of the same view with slight differences between them. I wish to build one file that I can export to create what looks like one of those old-fashioned "flip books" or old moving picture (jittery motion).
I used to be able to do this in Adobe ImageReady by importing the photos as frames and tweening them.
I'm new to CS5 and have been looking all over the place for the right application to use with no luck.
Which one do I use???
Please be specific as I've looked into Fireworks and Flash but neither or those seems to allow me to import a folder of files and put them on layers.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

I think what you want is an animated.gif. And you can do that in Photoshop.

Simple Flip Book in Flash Builder

I built this simple Flip Book in Flash Builder starting with Flash Catalyst...I guess the big issue is that when I make these components...they work well at z=0, but when I change z things don't work...why? Definitely needs a fix...everything is below (source, demo, book blog, video):
Source: http://lv3d.googlecode.com/files/FlipBook.zip
Demo: http://www.professionalpapervision.com/demos/flipbook/
Book Blog

Hi,
After thinking about your solution and doing some testing I have two comments...
(1) I'm concerned that your change may not be congruent with Flash Catalyst and its logical flow, and
(2) The solution did not solve the problem. I fear I have not explained myself well. So here is a video on the problem...

And if anyone wants to know how to install a new SDK in Flash Builder. Here is a video on that too

Thanks so much I really appreciate the comment...I'm digesting and testing it!!!
From a PV3D and Away3D perspective...one of the difficulties I've run into is that in Flash Builder there are three ways to do 3D...MXML (from Flash Catalyst), Matrix Manipulation using update display, and dot syntax methods (hey which one do I use?). It's really difficult to get the same visual effects in Flash Builder that you get in PV3D and Away3D, but in doing so you don't have to run your processor so hard and can do more. And you can't beat how easy it is to work with Flash Catalyst...you can develop 3D 10 times faster...
That means I'm taking my lumps while things are being repaired and developed. But that's the business...thanks again for your comments.
Just one more comment...I've built the data-driven case of the book for 3 pages using FB data wizard:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzKba9qyrp0
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz9htZXYZyU
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nyeg4_zuXo
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG_uUIHSyqU
...in the multi-page case I will actually turn the pages into a particle system and treat the 3D a little differently...I'll take a real good look at your suggestions below then.
Best Regards,
Mike

Subject: Simple Flip Book in Flash Builder
Mike,
Steven Shongrunden played around with your original FlipBook example and noticed that it doesn't work the same in the current builds as it did in Beta2. The problem is that we changed the behavior of the 3D effects recently, to fix this bug:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/sdk-24993
Basically, 3D effects used to side-effect the 3D properties of objects and persist their changes on the objects after transitions were over. This is different from the way that the rest of the effects work, where we install the proper end-state values in the objects when transitions end.
This means that if you do a Rotate3D with angleYTo="180", that we'll do that rotation during the effect ... and then wipe out that change when the transition ends.
There are two workarounds for this situation. The first, which is the way to go in general and definitely for Catalyst users, is to have 2-sided objects. So instead of simply seeing the back of the front cover, the user would see the front of a completely different object (the inside cover page, if you like). Then the transition should rotate both objects (the cover to 180 and the inside object to 0), then make the old object disappear and the new object appear at the right times (like at 90 degrees). So when the values are restored to the front cover upon transition end they will not be visible because the object is not visible.
The workaround for coders is to actually tell the states the values that the object should have. So if you actually want to rotate the object around y, then set that information in the states so that we won't blow it away when the transition ends. In fact, you could even set it in the states and not in the effect and we'll run the transition automatically. This is really the best approach for state transitions in general: tell the states what values the objects should have, and tell the transitions what effects to run, then the effects will automatically figure out the values to animate from/to.
The trick with this workaround is that the 3D effects affect the post-layout properties by default, and setting those values is not as obvious as setting pre-layout properties on the object.
Here's an example of how to do this for the cover component:
     <components:frontCoverCustomComponent x="0" y="0" id="frontcovercustomcomponent1"   click="frontCoverCustomComponent_clickHandler()">
        <components:postLayoutTransformOffsets.State2>
            <s:TransformOffsets rotationY="180"/>
        </components:postLayoutTransformOffsets.State2>
    </components:frontCoverCustomComponent>
I added this code to your custom component (and left the transition code as-is) and it now works as expect. It's still a bit weird to see the back of a two-dimensional object, so using two objects for anything that you'll see flipped is still a good thing to do in any case (as someone else suggested on this thread).

Create flip book/online catalogue

I've checked almost every possible way to do this. But not found a simple and effective way to do it. The issue is making a simple flip book of a InDesign document, which i can upload to a server. I need it to flip pages, have working links and the possibility to zoom in and out. Is this possible in InDesign or any other Adobe software. Everything I've found until now I have to know coding or buy some expensive software. I need something quick and easy

The links doesn't work because the urls have a red dot on it in the hyperlinks panel in InDesign. Anyone know why that happens?
Missing http:// at the beginning of URL?
You can try eDocker CREATE! as well; http://www.edocker.com/edocker/edocker-create/
You can make html5 web-apps with it... you can try fully functional trial version for free...

Is there a way to create a flipping book with the flipping 5k adobe software?

Maybe a forum search on "Windows registry" would turn up some useful things. You're not the first to ask this. You might save yourself and everyone else some time if you'd simply do that.

Url link in flash page flip book

I am very inexperienced at what I am trying to accomplish.
I have created a flip book in flash. On a page in the book I made a button that is a link to an external url. When I place the the swift file of that page on my webstie, the link works. I have made a link from my homepage to the flipbook. But when I open the flip book the url link does not work.
Does anyone out there know what's wrong?
thanks

If the flip page the swf is in has interactive code asigned to it, such as whatever you use to flip the page, it could be blocking access to any clickable objects in the swf file.

Looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5

Hi, I'm looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5 for a 20 page brochure/ booklet. Or a tutorial. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks!

Hi Mark,
No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

Issue Concerning Flip Book Creation using In Design and converting document to SWF file

Hello. We are a charitable organization which publishes an annual magazine. I have been looking at better ways show our magazine on the web and like the FLIP BOOK format. I have created a sample here -- 2014 Magazine When you look at this you will see that there is an issue with a white page showing at the front and the back of the magazine. I prefer the 2 page format. Have tried in one page - don't like it. I also don't have funding available to purchase more software to do this. While I appreciate they exist, I get the result I want I just don't want the first white page or the last white page to show. Does anyone know if there is a work around. We do our website design with Muse.

I have been looking at better ways show our magazine on the web and like the FLIP BOOK format.
Are you ok with the magazine not showing on Tablets? And the text is almost illegible because of the low res.
When you look at this you will see that there is an issue with a white page showing at the front and the back of the magazine.
When you export a swf you can choose use Paper as the background color. A swf movie's stage is one static pixel dimension, so if you want spreads the stage would be set to the spread dimension. You get the Paper background color to the left of page 1, which is the empty stage.
A work around would be to set your InDesign Paper swatch color to match the HTML container background (#5F0F1C in your case) and then put a frame filled with white on the bottom layer behind every page.

How to get rid of blank white page next to cover page when converting an indesign file into a pdf flip book

Hey Everyone,
I created an catalog using indesign and now I want to convert that into a pdf flip book. I have exported it as a SWF then changing the SWF back into a pdf. It works great however, I keep getting a blank white page next too my cover page, and I really don't want this. I find it very distracting and visually unappealing. Is there any way to get rid of this blank white page? Or any other suggestions on how to create a flip book out of an indesign file.

It sounds as if you're not checking the pagination properties of the chapter after the problem within the book file.
The book file settings always trump the component file's settings.
So this would mean that, if Chapter 3 is set in the book file to start on a Right page, the book enforces this by adding a blank page to Chapter 2.
You should be able to fix this by selecting all the component chapters in the book, right-clicking and setting all the pagination properties to start on Next Available page, but I don't have 7 on this system so I can't give you the exact key strokes.

Animation effects not playing correctly in captivate 6 (playing last frame first?)

Hi there,
Currently in captivate 6 I have a problem where when an item is coming in using an animation effect the image is flashing up very breifly, dissapearing then playing the animation as it should. it is almost as if it is playing the last split second first then looping round. This only applies to some of the items and not all of them, I have tried redoing them only for the same problem to occur. There is only 1 entrance effect playing on each item and there are 4 items on screen, the second and third images are the ones causing problems although the text and fitst image is fine. I have tried toggling sync with project. This also occurs both in publish and in preview
Any other ideas?

Hi Vish,
All of the items in question are set to display for the rest of the slide and the effect lasts less then a second where each item is on screen for 10+ seconds so there is plenty of the for the entrance effect to play out.
I have noticed however if I set all of the items with effects to start on the start of the slide the effect plays correctly but that means it isnt synced to the voiceover.

Browse animation effects causing Bridge to freeze

Every time I select browse effects from the animation menu, Adobe Bridge launches (as expected).
When I navigate to the "Text/Blurs" folder and open it, Bridge freezes.
I know I can add an effect to my text without resorting to Bridge, but I'm following
Adobe's Classroom in a box and selecting this method to preview an effect is
causing Bridge to freeze.

Make sure your AE and your Bridge are up to date. There was a problem in earlier builds. Also, the Animation Effects previews in Bridge are resource intensive little buggers. Make sure that you have allocated an even number of MB of ram to other apps and you're not starving your system. If you only have 8 GB give 4 to other apps and 4 to AE, if you have 16 then you can give 4 to others and 12 to AE.

How do I create a flipping book in Adobe Flash?

Hello new friends,
I am a graphic designer with many years of experience in Creative Suite Design Standard software. However I'm just beginning to get into Flash and have a project where I need to create a simple page-flipping brochure. My client has a 3-fold borchure in both SWF and JPEG formats which she wants to turn into a Flash flipping book to post on her website. I have the CS3 Web Premium package but I want to know if I need a third-party page flip plug-in or does my version of Flash (9.0) include the page flip engine? Also where can I find a tutorial to build a flipping book in Flash as this would be very helpful in building one for the first time.
Many thanks in advance for any help you guy and gals can give me!
Best,
.stephen

Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
If anyone's interested I did find a site that looks like it has some good information regarding creating flip books (step by step) and they also sell page flip software that seems to work really well (as seen in the demos). Here's the site: http://www.pageflip.hu/ (PageFlip 3.5) In the third paragraph of the home page there is a greyed out link "online documentation." Select that link and it will take you to their documentation on how to build a flip file using their software. Fairly simple approach. I will probably purchase this software.
System requirements for PageFlip 3.5 — Any browser with Adobe Flash player 8 installed; Adobe Flash 8 to edit source files.

Animation effects in PowerPoint for Mac

I've searched all the online help, and looked in the MS Knowledge Base, but found nothing about how to apply animation effects across ALL slides in PowerPoint 2004 for Mac. I find it very tedious to visit each slide and each component (title and bullets) to apply my visual effect and sounds separately. There is a checkbox which allows me to apply a slide transition to all slides, but I've found nothing which allows me to apply the same animation effect to all titles in all my slides. How do I do that? I've applied my animation and sounds to the Master Slide, but that had no effect on the other slides.
