Hotkey for "next frame" and "previous frame",or for next and previous layers

Hi,
I'm an animator and I love drawing with Photoshop's brush tools, but to animate I need to "flip" - which is just rapidly switching from one drawing to another, as you would with sheets of actual paper: hunting and clicking on arrows isn't feasible.
Hotkeys, or assignable hotkeys, for next and previous frames in animation - or, simpler, hotkeys for next and previous layers - would solve this problem completely. This simple improvement could make Photoshop a viable animation program, competitive with Plastic Animation Paper and Flipbook.
Is there at least a way I can download an add-on that would do this?
Thanks,
Joe

Next & Previous frame issue

I am setting up a touchscreen for a museum.
I have a 275 frame file. At the start of the setup up people press the screen to watch an embeded movie. At the end of the move there is a link to a series of info pages with next and previous frame buttons. They work fine at this stage.
At the end of the info pages there is a link to a flv playback. The user then presses on this to watch the movie with captions.
There is a button on the movie or when the movie finishes the file automatically goes back to the last of the info pages. At this point the previous frame button or next frame no longer get the user back through the info pages. Obviously as the code does not recognise the route into this frame as from a next or previous button.
Next Button:
function nextframe5(event:MouseEvent):void
this.nextFrame()
Next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextframe5);
Previous Button:
function backframe1(event:MouseEvent):void
this.prevFrame()
Previous_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backframe1);
Does anyone know of another way to script this. e.g. (current frame -1 frame)
I can put a 'gotoandplay("frame number") on each frame but this will be mighty long winded.
Thanks hopefully.

This is a guess, but...
If your forward and previous buttons are not continuous across the full extent of the movie, meaning that you leave their extent in the timeline, when you jump to the flv playback, then, when you return to these buttons, they are no longer connected to the code that they need. You can extend the buttons in the timeline, add a keyframe at the point that you no longer want to see them, and move them off the visible area of the frame. This will keep the relationship between the buttons and their code intact.

How can I use ken burns end transition frame to set cropping size for next segment?

I am trying to figure out how to trivially take a large frame view, in a clip, and use a Ken Burns transition to "zoom" into a new view, and then grab the ending "frame" location and size and set that as the clipping rectangle in the next segment. It seems like I should be able to just select the end fram view, type CMD-C to copy, and then select the next segment, choose "Clip", and type CMD-V to paste that "rectangle" as the clip. This doesn't work, so I am looking for another way. There's nothing in the popup menus or the main menus that I can find.
Is this possible?

I am afraid there is no easy way to this with Ken Burns. A better way may be to animate the Crop tool instead, using keyframes.

Goto previous frame or next frame not working

I'm using flash professional to build mobile application.
I have goto and stop frames on frame 1 and they work fine. When I go to frame next frame and try to add go to previous frame from a button it doesn't work. I don't get errors or anything it just doesn't work.

Using addEventListener for Enter and Exit frame

hi , sometimes i want to set some function in specific frame in start and exit this frame
for example i have Flv player in frame 20 , i have background sound ( mp3 player ) so i want when swf goes to this frame my sound goes Off and when Exit from it and go to another frames the sound played again ...
i put these script in frame 20 :
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterfunc);
function enterfunc(e:Event):void {
    trace("I started");
addEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME,exitfunc);
function exitfunc(e:Event):void {
    trace("will Exit");
but after test movie i see I started and will Exit runs Repeatly without stoping !!
Notice : first i put my sndChannel = soundClip.play; and sndChannel = soundClip.stop; but my music runs over and over and finally my system Hanged and need to Restart so i use trace to see
so whats a problem ? thanks for spending time and help me

kglad wrote:
// in frame 1:
function f():void{
trace("function f is executing when the playhead is in frame:", this.currentFrame);
// in frame 2:
f();
This works well For Excute Function on entering Frame Once !! thanks ...
but Only 1 More Question :
as You told me in your No.2 Replay :
I try to add some movieclip with instance name Or FLv playback with instance name and then Try to use this codes :
mymc.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedF);
function addedF(e:Event):void{
trace("I Start");
mymc.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removedF);
function removedF(e:Event):void{
trace("I exit");
why The removedF function Works well and the addedF function not work ?!?   in fact nothing Happend on Enter This Frame but on exit i see my I exit Trace !!

Export to thumb drive and remove hidden files for Pandigital frame

I have a Pandigital photoframe. I find from searching online that there is zero support for Mac users. The frame mounts in the finder then disappears after a short while. Searching the web, I have found (supposedly) that one must export the files from iPhoto to an MS/DOS formatted thumb drive. After that, hidden files written by the Mac on the thumb drive must be removed using Terminal. I'm not sure if the directions that I found at these sites are correct or might not be complete. I am a novice at Terminal so maybe something is not clear to me on these sites. Can anyone help with transfer from iPhoto to a Pandigital frame? The sites are:
http://www.studiolighting.net/pandigital-frames-tout-128mb-internal-memory/
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1276407

This search
http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=resource+fork&os=mac
has links to many other apps that will remove the resource fork from these files. I don't mean to be obtuse but I don't often have reason to use these apps and so I'm slow to give specific assistance on them. You are best to read the Help on these apps or contact their support.

Multithreaded Video Decoding and Seek frame accuracy for seamless m4a loop

Hi everybody,
We read that flash 11.2 and Air 3.2 will improve the seek functionality.
Right now being able to select a part of a track and precisely loop it is very difficult and complex for an mp3 but impossible with an m4a due to NetStream.
So if you could let us know if the Multithreaded Video Decoding and Seek frame accuracy improvement in 11.2 and 3.2 will bring us a solution would be great!
Basically as m4a are local files does 11.2 and 3.2 will allow to seek not only to keyframes but anyframe? This is key functionality to all music applications. If not do you think it will come soon?
Thank You

Seamless looping using seek will not work very well. It will have to be a separate feature.
You could submit it as a feature request.

Photoshop cc enhanced scripting for tree and picture frame patterns

the flame, tree and picture frame patterns are missing my drop down box in the fill window. They are in the
Deco folder, as is symmetry fill, all with javascript extensions, but symmetry fill is the only one that shows in my drop down menu. Can anyone help me fix this?

Hi Kmjc,
If you are using the Photoshop CC 2014 version, you need to click on the filter menu and choose render and you will be able to see Flame, Picture frame and Tree options.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

Editing in 60i or 30p? for canon Hf 10 and multiple frame rates?

My canon hf 10 shoots at 60i, 30p, and 24p. I would like to incorporate all the features of my camera into my projects, like the 24 frame movie mode for certain clips in my video, shoot at 30p for others, and 60i for fast moving when we are in a car. Now I understand that my camera does 30p and 24p in a wrapper, but if I were to edit a project timeline, which setting would be the correct to use If I wanted to use all the different footage??? Should I just use 60i? and just remove pulldown for 24p footage? Someone said that progressive is better then interlaced for DVD and internet viewing, or should I edit at 30p? 24p is of course not a reasonable option so I left it out. So I am left with either 60i or 30p...
The project will be put on DVD and on the internet. I was told 30p is better then 60i for this, but if my 30p and 24p are just 60i in a wrapper, should I go and EDIT IN THE TIMELINE with 60i since thats the format that its "really" coming from? Then, when its all done, it will be better?

The 60i setting should work best with PRE with the Full HD 1080i preset.
As for performance that can be highly dependant on your system and how it is set up. By default most PC's startup with a whole load of cr*p provided by your supplier - all of which can eat into your performance. Anti-Virus software (especially McAfee) can cripple PRE. Try working through the steps in this article: PrE Hanging, or Crashing - Some Tips. If that doesn't solve your issue then this article lists the things we need to know about your system and clips - Got a Problem? How to Get Started

Thanks for the reply.
Your thoughts on frame by frame viewing are can do. However, the real time playback feature includes the concept of rendering the Timeline, when the program indicates the need to do so, to get the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit area monitor. That is a major novel in itself. Each time you do a new edit you will get the render indicator message to ignore or act on.
Definitely go the free 30 day tryout route for Premiere Elements 12. I have Premiere Elements 12 (updated to 12.1) and it runs fine on Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Left Arrow "Goto Previous Frame" Not Working in Projects

When trying to navigate around the timeline in a project, I can press the "Right Arrow" key on the keyboard to navigate to the next frame in the timeline from the playhead. When I try and press the "Left Arrow" key to navigate to the previous frame, the project is de-selected and the selection jumps up to Macintosh HD above the project (or if editing a project on another drive, it jumps up and selects that Drive). Pressing the left arrow key again collapses that Drive and all the projects on it are hidden.
I can skip 10 frames in either direction just fine by pressing Shift-Left or Shift-Right, but for some reason cannot skip backward frame by frame without the project being de-selected.
If I choose a clip in the Event Library, I am able to navigate frame by frame either direction just fine with the Arrow keys - it only seems to be a problem in an actual project.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

When trying to navigate around the timeline in a project,
Is this really in the timeline, or in the Project Library? It sounds like you're in the Project Library. In there, yes that's the way the arrow keys work. They're used to navigate through projects and folders. Event Library works the same way.
After the drive collapses with the left arrow, you can use the right arrow to open it. If you want to slow play through the project hold K and L. If you want frame by frame inspection, hold the K key and tap the L key. Or open the project into the timeline panel.

Storing a position value from the previous frame

Hey guys,
So, I'm trying to assign the X value a null object had at the previous frame so I can continue to subtract a number from it cumulatively. I'm trying to assign it to a variable (prevframe). I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, but the line I'm trying to do it on is written as follows:
prevframe = transform.xPosition.valueAtTime(time-(1/24))
So in my mind, this should be taking a look at the value of X on the null, then looking back in time to figure out what it's value was on the previous frame (my frame rate is 24, so I'm dividing 1 second in to 24 pieces and telling it to subtract that much from the current time), and assigning whatever that returns to the variable. But it's just returning a static value, even though I'm subtracting from it. I feel like it's not the correct syntax, but I really have no idea.
I want to continue to subtract a value which is based on the velocity of another object from this, which I have worked out, I just can't figure out how to reference what this nulls X position was in the previous frame so it always returns the same value until all motion has stopped. The formula the variable is being run through looks like:
finalposition = prevframe - camvelocity
Which is then assigned to the final X position of the null object.
So, I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I hope I've provided enough information to help someone wrap their head around this and hopefully help me solve it.
Thanks in advance,
-Seth

Sorry it was confusing. Let me try to clarify. My null object has a starting point, which is an X value of 2020. For each frame the camera is moving, I want to subtract the cameras velocity from 2020, but I want it to be cumulative. So say the camera is moving linearly at 20 px per frame. On the first frame this starts, the value it will return is 2000. Then on the next frame I'd like it to subtract 20 from the new X value of 2000, but it continues to look at 2020 as the value to be subtracted from. So there isn't any accumulation of this X position getting lower and lower, it just gets to 2000 and stops.
When I plugged in your code I was getting the same result. I'm not sure if it's just not meant to work the way I was thinking I'd like it to, but…
What I'm trying to accomplish is kinda weird though. I'm trying to get this null, which is a parent to some glares nested in a composition, to take both camera movement and actual composition movement in to account as it drives the position of the glare objects. I wanted to see if the composition was moving faster in the main timeline, or the camera, and then add or subtract the faster velocity to the position of the null object, and have it do that continuously rather than to the null objects starting value and nothing else. so 2020 - 20 - 20 - 20 - 20 ect., with a 20 (or whatever the velocity works out to be) for each frame things remain in motion.
I want it to remain based on expressions just because I'm going to have a lot of these panels with glares, and hand keyframing each of them isn't something I'll have time to do, so I just want it to be based off of those two movements.
I think I'm going to take a different approach though. I think I'm trying to do too much with this expression that can be done in different ways. Instead of having one null I'm going to have two, and I'll have an expression within my glare objects to decide which ones coordinates to use as a parent still based on velocity.

Accessibility: Reading order of tables and anchored frames

I am creating accessible, tagged (section 508 compliant) PDFs in FrameMaker 9. The reading order for tables and frames is not correct.
When I view the PDF reading order using Adobe Acrobat Professional or another screen reader, anchored items such as tables and anchored frames are placed last in the reading order, regardless of where they appear in the document flow or page layout. The reading order skips over all tables and frames, reading all paragraphs on a page first, then reading the tables and frames as the last objects on the page. This logically doesn't make sense to skip over tables/frames as they generally apply to the content that preceeds it.
For example, the following document structure:
<Paragraph 1>
<Table 1>
<Paragraph 2>
<Anchored Frame 1>
<Paragraph 3>
<Anchor Frame 2>
<Paragraph 4>
is being read by assistive technology as:
<Paragraph 1>
<Paragraph 2>
<Paragraph 3>
<Paragraph 4>
<Table 1>
<Anchored Frame 1>
<Anchor Frame 2>
I want the document structure to be read correctly as intended.
In otherwords, the PDFs generated by FrameMaker 9 are not completely accessible because of incorrect reading order output by default. This information is not listed in the VPAT for FrameMaker 9.
I want to avoid any post processing using Acrobat's Touch Up Reading Order tool. Is there a way to automate updates to reading order?
Can FrameMaker 9 logically place tables and anchored frames into the correct reading order? How do I adjust these settings?
Thanks in advance!

As mentioned above, tables and anchored frames are inserted into thier own paragraph style "Frame". The paragraph style "Frame" is tagged. To my knowledge, there are no options for tagging or not tagging tables or anchored frames.
Regardless of which paragraph type the table or anchor frame is inserted into, and what that paragraphs tagging settings are, it is still last in the reading order.
I've tried a variety of options: tagging the "Frame" paragraph style as a sibling, child, and parent of my other paragraphs; I've even tried omitting it from the reading order. None of these options present anchored frames (and tables) in the logical reading order.
Even images that are inline (within a paragraph; not in thier own paragraph) are not being read as part of the paragraph. Inline images get skipped over by screen readers and get read at the end of the page, which makes no sense whatsoever.
All tables and images end up at the end of the reading order (after ALL paragraphs) regardless of the tagging settings.
Refer to my previous screenshot for a clear diagram of what is happening to the reading order. Each of those anchors is in it's own paragraph style. I want tables and anchored frames to be sequential in the reading order along with paragraphs. (1,2,3,4,5,6 not 1,4,2,5,3,6.)
I'm using the Tags tab of the "PDF Setup" dialog to adjust these settings. Is there somewhere else I should be making changes to the reading order?
This is a bit disturbing because FrameMaker touts creating accessible documents and this severe reading order issue impares my ability to do so. I would not consider documents that jump around the page in an illlogical, fixed order, to be accessible. I'm very suprised that no one else has encountered this issue (at least that I can find...)

Can you move back to a previous frame in a sequence structure?

I have a VI that contains a sequence structure with seven frames. I would like to add a button on the front panel to allow the user to move back to the previous frame. Is this possible?
Thanks

I don't think that's possible. Try replacing the sequence structure with a
state machine.
A state machine is a case statement embedded in a while loop. Each case
outputs at least an integer to indicate the next case to be executed and a
boolean to indicate if the while loop should continue. The integer is wired
to a shift register. The input side of the shift register is wired inside
the while loop to the conditional terminal of the case statement. Outside
of the while loop, the input side of the shift register would be wired to a
constant indicating the first case to be executed.
To mimic a sequence structure, each case would take the incoming integer and
increment it by one. To move back to the previous frame, the integer would
be decremented instead.
