Help - Rotating text/picture problem in Motion 4!

Hi, Can anyone help me out? When trying to make text face the camera and rotate like a merry-go-round, the 'face camera' option makes all the characters face the camera as they go around - like this..

This is what I'm trying to achieve:

Thanks in advance!

The text engine was rewritten in M4 and works differently.
Uncheck the Face Camera checkbox. Go to the Format pane of the Text tab. Change the Rotation X value to 90 degrees.

How do I rotate text/Picture 90 degrees?

How do I rotate an e-mail text/Picture 90 degrees?

You can rotate your drawing 90 degrees by reorienting your iOS device in the direction you want to rotate the drawing. Then, go back to the organizer. The drawing is always saved in the orientation you last left it, so you should see the drawing now rotated in the organizer view. While in the organizer view, you can rotate your device back to its original orientation and reopen your drawing.
Admittedly, rotation could be handled more intuitively in the app, so if this is important to you, we would love to hear that feedback.
Hope that helps,

Java 3d rotating text snapshot problem

Hi guys !
I have searched for a method which captured a 3d rotating text and print it on the screen ,but i didn`t found it.
I have to this exercise :
Write a Java 3D program showing two panels and a button. The first panel displays a scene of a rotating 3D text string. When the button is clicked, the image of the 3D scene is captured and the still image is displayed in the second panel.
Can anybody help me or write me the source code???
thank you

Only a fool will do your homework for you.
But I can't help noticing that the assignment specifically mentions Java3d, and you're asking on an applet forum. It seems unlikely that you're supposed to implement your assignment as an applet.
Most likely, the assignment tells you how to obtain Java3d. Either that or an earlier hand-out in your class says how to.
You should re-read your assignment and other class notes, get the Java3D library, and then read the Java3D documentation. Write a simple "hello world" type program using Java3d. At that point, this assignment will probably be pretty simple for you.

I see the ^M on the end of the lines ... but i dont understand why im getting the blank lines
in between each entry ... I printed "HHHH" just to help with debugging ... anyone have any ideas why i am getting the extra blank lines?
thanks,
jd

maybe its a FileReader deal.. Im not sure, maybe try using InputStreams. This code works for me (it reads from data.txt), give it a try and see if it works:
import java.io.*;
public class Example {
     public Example() throws IOException {
          BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("data.txt")));
          String s = "";
          while ((s = b.readLine()) != null) {
               System.out.println(s);
          b.close();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               new Example();
          catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
}

Help Making Text Picture Frames

I came across this neat design feature, and I am not too sure how to go about creating this element because I am new to Illustrator. Still, I figure this is either a PS or an Illustrator feature. Whatever the case, how can I go about making text that incorporates picture frames as seen in the words "Road Trip" (and if there are any videos out there that would be great).

I think what you are asking is how to make images appear through type.
If you want to make a single image appear through a word, all you need to do is to position the (live) type on top of the image, select type and image and hit Cmd/Ctrl+7. This makes the type into a clipping mask.
Alternatively, if you want each letter to contain a separate image, outline the type, ungroup (preferably) and make each letter into a clipping mask over its own image.
There are other ways but this is the easiest.
Here are two examples:
The top one is live type masking a single image.
The bottom one is outlined type masking two images. In this case you will need to make compound paths, one for each set of letters, WES and TMAN ISLANDS. Each compound path masks its own image.

Rotated text problem from Word picture into Framemaker 12

problem copying a Microsoft Word picture with rotated text into Framemaker - the rotated text gets stacked (each letter is individually rotated)

It's probably due to how Word defines the rotations for the text and FM's import filters handle it differently. It might be easier to re-create the words in FM if it's not too complex. Alternatively, save the page with the graphics from Word as PDF and then import the graphic from the PDF to FM (you can crop and/or trim as needed in Acrobat).

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

I have had a similar problem on my 5700, started out the same, people saying my text was coming trhough 3 or 4 times, then it stopped sending. I checked the message centre phone number with my provider, which was correct, and then it would not let me into the the message centre to even edit the number?? I have tried a factory reset and a firmware update. Does anyone else have any ideas??

Solution to the texting of pictures problem!

I had asked a question a while ago about not being able to text pictures to my daughters who live out of town (even though one of them still has a local area code to me). I figured it out last night--i have to turn on cellular data, even if i am using only Wifi. Once I did that, it allowed me to send pictures to them. I don't know if it has to do with cell towers or what but that allowed it to work. The only thing is that I don't like leaving it on because i don't want to use data if i don't have wifi but i can live with that!

To send an image through a Text Message you need to have cellular data turned on because that text message is actually a MMS (not an ordinary SMS). Thus your phone needs to connect to the Internet to send it.

Problems with Motion 2 / FCP-Interaction

Hi!
Somehow Motion 2 and FCP 5.1 don't play too well together on my system. Here's the problem:
I am producing tutorial movies for a certain application. My workflow is as follows:
1. Record screen movies with SnapZ Pro. I use the Animation codec, resolution 1152x720.
2. I import the clips to FCP and render them. The clips rendered by FCP have a data rate of 4.2 MB/sec.
3. I want to add text overlays to some clips, so I send those clips over to Motion 2. Here is where the first problem occurs: Motion doesn't import properly from FCP. Let's say, the clip I send to Motion runs 50 seconds. Motion will play the clip for about 3-5 seconds and then freeze the video, whereas the audio continues playing. I resolve this problem by deleting the faulty video track that FCP has created in my Motion project and then importing the corresponding video file manually into Motion 2.
4. I do my Motion stuff and save the file.
5. Back in FCP, I have to render the clip again. Sometimes I have to reconnect the clip with the Motion file, sometimes not. Don't know why.
6. After rendering, the second problem occurs. The video clip is blurry. By right-clicking the clip I get to open the object settings I find that the data rate of the clip altered in Motion is only "500/s". Also, there doesn't seem to be codec anymore.
For illustration I habe posted two pictures. First, the original clip created with SnapZ and imported to FCP:
http://homepage.mac.com/cmeermann/filechute/Original%20Clip.jpg
Now, here's how the clip looks like after altering it in Motion and rerendering it. As you can see, it is quite blurry:
http://homepage.mac.com/cmeermann/filechute/Motion%20Clip.jpg
My client is waiting for results, so I'd really appreciate some quick answers.
Thanks in advance,

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking. Filters are basically ignored by the tracker. Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker. Did you change the timing after doing the tracking? If so this would also require you to re-track the shot. Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.
Cheers!

Flash Site Template Help With Text

So I downloaded a flash template to use for my website... all I need are some editing of the texts, pictures, and some of those links. Here is the template:
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/24451.html
My problem is I'm completely NEW at flash. I used to use FrongPage 2003 for my webdesign but I wanna use this for my new website (since it looks a lot better!) How do I edit the text fields? I can only seem to move the bar along the timeline to watch the animation, and see all the layers and item properties that none have anything with the text in them. And also the images as well, if I need to do anything special with those (within template link above you'll see they flash white for a second) and the main logo has some animation there. I have all the fonts required but I don't know if I also have to make the logo with those special white flashy lines like a GIF animator or if that's just some special affect within the template itself.
Now due to legal notices specified by the site I can't share the template with you but I'll attempt to answer any and all questions i can to see if I can get this all figured out so I can begin adding my own content to the site. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't look like there's an xml file for the text. Reading the template help index, and its saying some text might have complex coding for special effects and that I'd have to edit by the Library or something, so I'll try using that reference for now. I appreciate the help and I may come back if this can't help me lol
EDIT: It says I'm missing the font file "tahoma" mapped to _sans ....?? I have tahoma... as well as the main title logo isn't appearing in the .fla file anymore even though I got the correct font. I'm confused >.<
Edit 2: As well I get this a lot on many different areas:

Needing help with moving pictures around

I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
picture around the document window. The book say "place the
insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks Jical

Nadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
screen”
Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
the page.
In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
properties dialog.
Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
That is what you will really need to understand before you
can really get proficient at web design.
At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
“contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
defined around your content.
Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.
That’s why this forum has more than 91,000 posts…

DLP Picture problem

Hi,
All of a sudden I've been getting this.. almost static picture problem. It exists above my tv feed as well as the TV menus and text. You can see it below.It's a 72MX195 if that helps.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately if it's on top of the menus as well, it sounds like it likely requires servicing. I'm sorry.
