How best to animate Stroke Effect for a text gif?

In CS5, the stroke effect can produce some great looking effects on text--- but I've not found any way to animate stroke, only the basic parameters; you can keyframe a style on-off, but I need to keyframe the scale slider in the Fill Type window. I tried going into After Effects CS5, but it lacks the fine detail parameters for stroke that get the effect I want ( it doesn't allow Pattern Fill at all, nor Scale). Is it not possible to animate the special effects?  Hoping someone might have some ideas on how to get stroke effects animated on text.

Do you want the whole textbox to enlarge, or just some
selected text? or just the text size?
To make any smooth motion, you'll want to make it into a
movieclip, then tween it using AS or timeline tweens. You can
connect this action with some script on a button allowing for more
control.

    Use the htmltext property of TextArea. For example...

    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

  • How do I apply animation effect to my text?

    I am working on a text and I just want a to do a simple fade out effect for my text. When I go to the apply, it is not highlighted and I cannot apply the effect on my text. Please help. I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12.

    Are you referring to applying text animation (the Fade choices) in the project's opened Titler rather than trying to fade in or out text titles on the Timeline.
    From all that you have written, I am not sure.
    You can add text animation (Fade choices there and the rest) to more than one line of text in the opened Titler, but there are special considerations.
    Please refer to the following on the subject if I have interpreted correctly the information that you are seeking.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Titler - Part 1 Text Animations
    Are you here in the opened Titler? When you use the word "Apply", I suspect you are here.
    Or on the Timeline applying Fade In Video and Fade Out Video to your text file on the Timeline
    with the Titler closed? When you talk about simple Fade In Fade Out, I suspect you are here.
    If you are on the Timeline with its fade shortcuts, have you Time Stretch the Timeline text files in anyway? If Time Stretch is involved in this, then check out the following
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Timeline Fade Out Shortcuts and Time Stretched/Time Remapped Video
    It is a long detailed write up. Please skip to Solutions and note the order of events to workaround the issues.

  • How Best To Install Snow Leopard For A Non-Techy?

    What is the best route to go down to install Snow Leopard please? I received my copy on Saturday but I'm apprehensive at installing it!
    When I installed Leopard I ended up with a lot of problems, some of which are still not resolved, such as the non-recognition of log-in passwords etc. I still have to provide a password when switching back and forth between users and in order to close down I have to log out all users individually!
    As a keen Mac-user (but by no means a technical expert) I would like my Snow Leopard experience to be as painless as possible, so how best to install it please and at the same time eliminate my old Leopard problems outlined above?

    For the most painless upgrade possible, I suggest you just follow the instructions under the heading "Upgrading Mac OS X" in the Snow Leopard Installation Instructions document.
    As a precaution, you may want to run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk" step first. You can also run the "Repair Permissions" step if you want but I doubt that is necessary.
    Your 'old problems' aren't problems, AFAIK. You must always provide a password to change accounts & all accounts must be logged out to shut down or restart the computer. These steps insure the privacy of each user's account & make sure each user has a chance to save any open documents before the computer shuts down. IOW, they are desirable features, not problems!

  • How do I retrieve the microphone for voice text in ios8? I upgraded to iOS 8 last night and I don't have it.

    How do I retrieve the microphone icon for voice text in iOS 8? I downloaded the new iOS 8 last night and I do not have the ability to voice text. Someone please help.

    I did not do anything to mine except update. You can try doing a reset on the phone. It will not affect data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Make sure you also have iMessage activated and data turned on. Remember that iMessage requires both users to have an active internet connection.

  • How best do I leave Gmail for Mail?

    I've decided I want to take the plunge and leave Gmail for Mail, using my iCloud account. Why? I've lost trust in Google (incl. their search bias, how they handle my privacy, and how they treat the end-user as a comodity to sell rather than a customer to serve). I'd love advice on the best way to swap over. I've done a bit of researching and can't seem to nail the answers to my questions. Your help + advice on any of the items below would be much appreciated. And if you think there's a better way I should be asking the question, please let me know.
    Here's what I'm looking for especially:
    I use Gmail's labels a lot. What's the best way to get the same effect in Mail? Smart folders? (I do wish smart folders synced to iCloud.)
    I have a lot of Gmail labels. What's the best way to export from Gmail without getting oodles of duplicates? Forwarding folder by folder would be time consuming + lossy, and stripping the labels would be counterproductive. Are those my only options?
    I use a lot of Gmail filters. Mail rules seem even better, but is there any way to automate transfering the filters to Mail?
    I use Gmail 'send mail as' with a collection of non-gmail addresses (from my domains). Is there any way to use my iCloud account to send from a non-iCloud address? Or, is my only option to sign up with a different webmail service in order to send from my alternate addresses in Mail? 
    I have my own set of pre-defined Gmail keyboard shortcuts. Do I just need to tough it out and learn the Mail shortcuts, or is there a good, free/inexpensive app for adding shortcuts to Mail? And no, I don't mean through SysPrefs (I know how to do that ). I mean Gmail style single-letter shortcuts, like 'r' for reply.
    Tips for converting Gmail Contacts to Address Book.
    If you've made the switch, I'd also be interested to hear your experience! I'd really like to get Mail up and running sooner and rid myself of Google.

    1: Smart folders won't sync between devices. But you can create regular mailbox folders under the icloud imap folder or at the icloud website which will stay synced.
    2: The best way I see to do the labels is to create the gmail account in Mail. Set it to show those labels in imap in the labels setting section at the gmail website. All your gmail folders will appear under gmail's imap folder in Mail's sidebar. Then you will have options to export or just move the messages from one mailbox to another. I think I would just create a new mailbox under iCloud, then select all the messages from one gmail folder and right click to move the messages to the iCloud folder. Seems it would be the easiest way.
    3: I don't think it is possible to transfer your rules from gmail to Mail. Rules should be very carefully constructed in Mail paying much consideration to the order they are placed. Simplify it as best you can and test it. In Mail, rules only will apply to incoming messages which may be different than what gmail does.
    4: iCloud does not have the option to send other email addresses and retain their identity like gmail does. Best I can say on that is to create the accounts of the other addresses in Mail seperately with their own SMTP servers to send from.
    5: No comment.
    6:You can go to the gmail website and export your contacts.
    Or, open up the AB on the computer and go to preferences. Open the Accounts tab. Select On My Mac in the list and check the box to sync Google contacts. Put your google sign in and password. Your Google contacts should be created on the computer. You can then select all the contacts in google and drag them to iCloud to add them. Once done, deselect the google contact syncing.

  • How to create a special effect for 'wipe' and 'wheel'

    New to Captivate. Recently purchased Captivate 7. I'm trying to obtain an object 'add effect' similar to the "wipe" (from left) and the "wheel" animation effects found in PowerPoint. I want to simulate hand-drawing an emphasis line under text. I have a .png graphic of a hand-drawn red line (transparent background) that I'd like to appear by "wiping" from left to right. The "stretch" effect (from left to right) found in Captivate's "Add Effect" doesn't look right; it's obviously a 'stretch' instead of a 'wipe'.  Likewise, I would like to hand-draw a circle or oval around certain text or other objects to draw attention to these items. The "wheel" animation in PowerPoint works perfectly for this.
    Is there a way to do this in Captivate? Maybe some variation of one of the built-in effects that I've missed? Camtasia Studio has "sketch motion graphics" built in - which also does this nicely.

    Thanks for the info on Infosemantics and their widgets. As a Newbie I wasn't aware of them and their cool, useful products. However, after going through all the tutorials I couldn't figure out how the 'slider' widget would serve my need to simulate a hand-drawn line, from left to right, under text on a Captivate 7 slide. Yes, it can be used to animate (or move) any object, but not to "reveal" an object like the "wipe" animation in other programs.
    I'm thinking now that it would be easier to just build an animated GIF or a small flash file to show a hand-drawn red line moving from left to right. I have Flash CS4 but have never used it. Something else new to learn.
    Thanks again.

  • How best to *BATCH* process MP3s for sound improvement using X-Fi extreme Music.

    I have a shiny new X-Fi extreme music.
    Does anyone have ideas on the best way to *batch* process a large selection of (16 bit 44.1) MP3 files?
    A lot is made, in the X-Fi advertising, on the varied abilities to improve the sound of MP3 files. I have a large selection of play-a-long MP3s generated from old sources, and additionally converted to single channel mono. (i.e. I have extracted the LEFT channel and created a mono MP3 from that).
    I would like to improve the sound of these file. I use them for play-a-long, so tonal closeness to the original is *not* important. I just want to be sure I can hear the basist (and drummer) OK - i.e. I want to emphasize their sound and disregard the frequencies in the human-voice range.
    Sometime, I play these files using the PC equipped with the X-Fi extreme, but sometimes on my MP3 player.
    Does creative supply SW to achieve this batch processing, or does anybody know of third party SW that can help. Their seems to be a lot of sound improvement SW out there, but it is targeted towards dealing with LP vinyl problems, and usually doesn't do batch very well.
    Thanks for your consideration,
    Matt
