"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.

  • Create flip book in After Effects

    Hello,
    I'm completely new to After Effects. So I wonder if it is a easy way to create like a book/magazine in which you can flip through the spreads and add links. And then save it in a format that can be published online. Anyone know?

    As Mylenium says, you will have to do this in something else. After Effects creates video only. No interactivity. Now, you can use AE to make assets to be used elsewhere - I do that all the time - but you can't create links or other interactivity in AE.

  • 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.

  • Can a digital magazine like Flipping Book be embedded into a site designed with Muse? If so how?

    Can a digital magazine like Flipping Book be embedded into a site designed with Muse? If so how?

    I assume you are talking about Flipping Book Publisher software (www.flippingbook.com). I have done this very easily. In the flipping book software you need to make sure that the sharing feature is enabled and export out the .html file. Once you have exported and you have it installed on your website, click on the sharing button on your flip
    catalog software. You can then copy the embed code from this window and paste it into Muse (see attached screen shot).

  • Need help with a mirror image effect

    For most of our product photos, I create a copy of the image, flip it vertically, fade it out, and then move it down to create a mirror image effect. Simple enough. But this one I'm having a problem. The product has 4 legs, and from this view, the back 2 legs are shorter. When I do my normal steps that I listed, I get similar to what you see below. I know all about drawing a marquee around part of the reflection, hitting Ctrl+T and then holding down Ctrl+Shift to skew just what's in the marquee. I've done this technique a lot, but it does not work for this particular image. What do I have to do to get the reflection of the back legs to line up with the actual back legs in the image? Thanks.

    Well, Photoshop is not a 3D rendering program and you can only fake it by painting or assembling the reflection using your artistic skills and knowledge of perspective and reflections. From certain angles and with certain objects this could be quite easily done by just mirroring the 2D image but in other cases like  this it wont' work. I made a quick scene in a 3D program to show you how the refection will actually be in real life - you will see the bottom of the table in the reflection and this is missing from the 2D image. You can assemble and position separately parts of the reflection from the 2D image by using the front sides of the table and and legs but the rest (bottom) of table has to be created from scratch.

  • 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):

    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 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.

    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).

  • 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 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.

  • Page flipping with Volatile Image.  Need help :)

    Hello all,
    Could someone point me to a nice tutorial which specifically addresses setting up page flipping with Volatile Images as the buffer? I haven't had any trouble with the generic BufferStrategy way of doing things, but it looks like the absolute fastest way to go is page flipping. Any info on this subject would be appreciated. I am a student who is making his first attempt at setting up a fullscreen video game...well if you want to call it that! :) I am shooting for Pong as a first project!
    Please feel free to send me the info at [email protected], and thanks much.

    If you're using Windows, then your picture is already most likely
    being stored as volatile. You should look for an article on the
    web discussing Java rendering internals as of 1.4 do a search for
    "java automatic images" you'll probably find some useful info.
    But if you insist you can just fire up a debugger and
    play with it until you finally figure out what it's doing..
    You just need to do a createVolatileImage as opposed to createImage
    when creating your buffers.. make sure to use
    createBufferStrategy(2) (or if you want to be totally sure print out
    the capabilities of the buffers available and select one that you
    know for sure supports back and front buffers that are "truly"
    volatile..
    it turns out in my experience on win2k that using normal "automatic"
    images via Component.createImage() are faster than volatiles perhaps
    because I tend to do alot of scaling ops which are not as of yet
    accelerated..
    here's some stuff that might help you:
    good luck!

  • Which is best way to create a web Flip Book?

    I am creating a spec book of about 200 pages and it used to print and go in a binder but now it needs to be on web as a flip book.
    Since I do all the production work in InDesign I hoped it could be an export.
    I have heard about http://page-flip.com/ and http://www.freshcatalog.com/ but should I have to pay for more software if I can do it in InDesign?
    Will a 200 page project be a monster of a file size and would that cause performance issues?
    I appreciate opinions on this issue.
    Thanks Jim K

Id like to point out that we are your customers granted you're our only realistic choice, but we do not work for Adobe.

  • Image Effects Missing in PremPro CS4?

    Hi - I was watching a tutorial recently where you can drag and drop image effects on your video footage in PPro CS4.  So I went to mine and I think mine is missing.  Please see snapshot below:
    Are these image effects (the kind that will boost color, add a soft appearance like it's a dream, add other color or image effects to give them a film look, etc.) free with my copy or do I have to pay for them?  If free, where can I download them?
    Thanks.

    If you can recall, at least part of the name of the Effect used, in the Query Box, just begin typing it. The list will shorten to only show Effects per the character string that you enter. Do not forget to clear that, when you have found what you are looking for, to get back to the full list.
    For Color "enhancement," you might be thinking about some of the various Color Correction Effects?

  • Flash 10 Media Rich Flip Book Advice

    I would like to create a flip book which deploys flv video similar to the example below.

    I have purchased the HTML version of Flippingbook from the site below but have encountered various problems, in that it only supports Flash 9 +actionscript 2.0. Also the facility is problematic with zooming swf files. Great for flat brochures but not able to deploy flv video within swf files which is a shame.
