Graphic tablet with motion

I am still using mouse to work on motion, since one year i started to use it, is there a real benefit in using a graphic pad? anyone of you is using it?

I use a Wacom tablet all the time. Generally, I use the Wacom mouse, but when I need to draw, I use the pen...
Drawing with a mouse is like trying to draw with a bar of soap...

  • Use iPad as a 2nd monitor or graphics tablet with Photoshop/Wacom Bamboo Pen?

    Can iPad be used as a 2nd monitor or graphics tablet with Photoshop/Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet?
    I called Wacom as asked this question but the guy was clueless, and I'm sure they'd rather have you spend $1000 on their Cintiq instead of $29.95 on a Pen.... I figure I'll get more use out of an iPad and save around $400...
    Or maybe this is jsut a far fetched idea...

    Hiya
    I am not quite sure of how this product works, but it might be wortha try:

  • Using graphics tablet with Ipad2

    For those of us who would like a stylus experience with fine detail, from an artistic perspective, or much more accurate handwriting input -- does anyone know of a graphics tablet (that uses a fine detail stylus) that can be used as the input device for an iPad 2?  I imagine it would have to employ some kind of app to make it work.  Anybody gone down this trail yet??

    Doesn't exist.
    These people have no problems with art on iPad:

  • Can I use an i pad to work like a graphics tablet with Smartboard?

    I want to use Notebook in Smartboard with a graphics tablet. It has occurred to me that the ipad may be able to do even better. I would need to see the notebook file on my screen, manipulate the items on the screen and then see them displayed simultaneous on the classroom equipment.
    Can this be done?

    SMART Technologies continues to manfacture the SMART Slate model WS200.
    SMART Technologies released the Bridgit for iPad app in May, 2011.  It enables an Apple iPad to join a SMART Bridgit conference.  Within the conference the Apple iPad can they be used to temporarily take control of any shared computer, just like other participants who are using desktop or laptap computers.  It can also temporarily take control of the comptuer which is connected to a SMART Board. 
    For more information and to download the Bridgit for iPad app, please visit this page on the Apple iTunes website:  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smart-bridgit-conferencing/id433502122?mt=8#

  • Can you uprez graphics created with Motion?

    I'm doing a low rez offline and want to uprez the final product.  Is that possible with Motion?  Is it automatic or some sort of incredbly complcated workflow to do it?

    I was afraid that might happen. you could just scale the type layer... As long as there were no filters on it, it should remain vector and won't look bad if you simply alter your scaling.
    For instance if you went from 640x360 to 1280x720, 1280/640 is a 200% increase. You could set the scaling for the type layer to 200%. Can't guarantee that the layout will hold, though.
    Did the folks who dictated the change of resolution think there would be no consequences?
    best,

  • Can I use a graphics tablet such as Wacom with Keynote?

    I would like to be able to use my Graphics tablet with Keynote to write on my slides while teaching. I am able to use the pen tablet with Powerpoint, I just select pen for pointer and pen color. How do I do this in Keynote?
    Thanks for your help,
    Jackk

    I don't think you can do that within Keynote itself. Is there anything useful in the Inkwell preferences? I have never used a tablet with a Mac before, but I think that Inkwell would have some kind of annotation feature.

  • Best graphics card for Motion 4???

    I'd like to upgrade to the best graphics card possible for Motion 4.
    I have a Mac Pro desktop 2 x2.8 Ghz Quad-core Intel Xeon with 4GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT (512MB RAM) but I find that Motion is very slow at rendering and playback. I am working with many layers in my Motion timeline (dozens), but what can I do to increase Motion's speed?
    I've heard of the ATI Radeon 4870 and much more expensive NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800. Has anyone used these graphics cards with Motion?
    What is the best graphics card on the market right now for Motion 4?
    Would it help if I doubled my RAM from 4GB to 8GB of RAM? Or does FCP7 and Motion 4 not use more than 4GB of RAM?
    Thanks very much in advance,
    - Nick

    Hi Marc and Patrick, thanks for both your feedback.
    Sorry Marc, I didn't mean to imply that I didn't believe you. I was just confused at to why a card that had 1.5GB of memory would not be better than one with 512MB. But I'll take your word that the 4870 is the way to go.
    Regarding the ATI Radeon 4870. I went to Apple's web site in the store section but it looks like they're just selling the single DVI option of that card. BH Photo Video is selling it with Dual DVI option.
    So I'm confused, should I be getting:
    Diamond Viper ATI Radeon HD4870 (dual DVI) ($309.50 at BH Photo Video )
    or
    ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac ($349.00 Apple Store)
    Which card or version of the card are you referring to exactly?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Looking for note taking software to use with a graphics tablet

    Hello folks,
    I am trying to find a software that would allow me to interchangably use typing and writing/drawing on a graphics tablet smoothly.
    I'm looking for something that would essentially provide a 'blank sheet of lined-paper' where i can quickly type what my professors are saying, as well as easily draw whatever they are drawing. Also, since I am studying engineering, I would need something that I can easily write math symbols and equations so I can use it as scratch paper.
    At the same time, I am looking to save trees and money, as well as keep organized and simplicity when it comes to archiving.
    I have tried Microsoft Word 2008's notebook view, and this is currently the closest thing to what I want, but it favors mostly the text side of what I want (of course), and isn't very good in the drawing part. It also isn't very smooth when I try to do practice math/physics/engineering problems on it, nor is it very good at drawing molecular structures (O-Chem)... but for the most part, it gets the job done. It is also a headache because when you zoom in a lot to make it easier to write (mind you, I am using a tiny macbook screen..), the title bar also zooms in, and ends up taking half of the screen, making zooming in practically useless. (the title bar is also locked, so even as you scroll down, it stays in the top half.)
    I have also tried Adobe Acrobat Professional 7, where I simply made a blank notebook from some image online, and I use it as scratch paper. When it comes to drawing, it is very smooth, but it's a headache sometimes, because after writing something and pausing for a second or two, the pen tool automatically becomes a 'selector' tool, and so if i want to draw over what I previously wrote, it changes to selector and instead of writing over, it drags and drops the object around a bit. The tolerance for that is really high too, and i'd have to bring the pointer about half an inch or so before I can start writing something again. I also haven't given the text a try yet, but it lets me make collapseable text boxes, so that is good for further annotating my equations and drawings, but isn't very useful for a full-lecture class (i.e. biology)
    I also don't even want to consider photoshop, because it's basically too powerful, and I don't want my laptop fans going off in-class (its SUPER loud when it happens...) and I need it to last the day.
    So just a sum up:
    I'm looking for a good note-taking software (for mac) that will allow me to smoothly use my graphics tablet AND be able to type.
    MS Word '08 and Adobe Acrobat are close... but aren't quite to what I want exactly...
    I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and an '09 Intel-based MacBook.
    Thank you in advance!

    I have had this same issue and found this program called NoteBook that allows you to type, and draw (write) notes on a variety of paper types, (lined, graphing, engineering,etc.) and it uses the .nb file type that allows you to save multiple "pages" inside one file in a sort-of "notebook" if you will. It works great, but has several minor disadvantages. I can't change the ink color, I can't change the tip thickness (other than the pressure sensitive option with my wacom graphics tablet), and it doesn't allow you to open pdfs or other documents to inscribe upon. All around though it has been wonderful. There are really no good note taking apps out there...

  • Drawing with a graphics tablet in Flash

    Hey community!
    I recently got the newest version of Flash and wanted to do some drawing with my graphics tablet, but whenever i try to draw a freehand line, using the pencil or paintbrush tool, then for some reason, it draws a straight line leading to the bottom left side of the screen, and i have no idea why it is doing this.
    When i use the tablet to draw in Photoshop, then it works absolutely fine, but not in Flash
    Any help will be lovely!!
    Thank you

    Hi,
    The issue is resolved in the latest update of Flash Pro.Please update Flash professional to 14.1.0.96 .Follow the instruction below for the same :
    Installation instructions
    Log out and log in to the CC desktop application. Update the application when prompted.
    You should see the list of new updates as soon as the new CC desktop application is launched.
    Install Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging app. On a high speed connection, it took me around 8 minutes.
    After the application is installed, you can launch the application directly from the desktop app by clicking on it.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • I have an intuos 2 graphic tablet, incompatible with imac?

    My intuos 2 graphic tablet is far from new, but it's worked fine plugged into my custom pc. Well, been staying with my mom a lot lately and decided to hook it up to her imac only to discover that there's no corresponding socket for this plug in the back. Is there some kind of adaptor that would let me utilize one of the usb spots? Pretty sure she has an imac, though not entirely sure.  Looks like google images for imac except about an inch thick at the edges. These are the options in the back.

    Hi hatchettwit,
    I have used a few serial cable only devices with my iMac using the following adapter (I tried other adapters but they failed miserably), compatible up to Mac OSX 10.7 (going by their website):
    http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=518&txtModelID=3914
    I haven't tried it with a tablet yet, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.
    I found the product at Amazon at:

    Wacom USB drivers seem to be available for the intuos2 for up to Mac OSX 10.7 at:

  • Wacom Capture graphics tablet and Satellite P55-A5200 with Windows 8.1

    My graphics pen with the Wacom doesn't work with the Satellite P55-A5200.  The pen works on another system, so it obviously is working.  It only responds to touch and that is very touchy.  The wacom did work when I first got the computer.
    The touch tablet is a little touchy too.  It sometimes flip from program to program with just a slight touch (even though I didn't  want it to do so).  Also, at times the touch pad will easily become disabled.  I did update the function key drivers the other day.
    Any suggestions?
