How can I create stop animation clip utilizing single images?

Can I load individual images and overlap them to create a short animation clip?
What is the best file type of still images to use, jpeg?
How to overlap small image (with transparent background) on top of another background?
Thank you!

You import the images. You put them on multiple layers, stacked on top of each other. JPEG is not a good format. Use PNG or Photoshop or TIFF.
Layers are transparent. Put whatever background you want on the base layer.

How can I create side bars without cropping the image?

I want to create side bars because I am projecting in an vertical panel, but if I crop the image them I only get the middle part of it.
How can I create side bars in an way that I can still move the image inside?

On a Video Track directly above the clip(s) you want to have behind the side bars, place a clip of Color (or whatever you want to use for your sidebars).
Now go to the Effects Tab > Matte >Mask Shape and drag the Mask Shape filter to the Color clip you have placed on the timeline.
Double click on the clip to open it in the viewer, and click on the Filters Tab.
Click Invert Box, and adjust the shape to get the side bars you want.
And now the clip(s) that are beneath this effect will have the side bars and be independent of it, so that you can move them around.

How can I create a stop animation video with single images in Premiere Pro?

Let me start off by saying I am 100% new to pretty much all Adobe software as of about 3 weeks ago. I have been doing a lot of googling these past few weeks. With that said, I will do my best to explain my question.
I am making a stop motion animated video. I am not using several photos to create the look, but rather single photoshopped images that I have deleted the backgrounds out of. Basically the video is single charms "crawling" or flying in individually from off screen into a circle, there is a story explaining what each charm means. I started in After Effects, but had issues with audio... am I right in my understanding that you cannot preview the audio unless you use the preview feature? So my solution was playing a guessing game, rendering/exporting, importing it to Premiere Pro, taking notes and then heading back to After Effects to try to re-do the timing. Obviously this was not working too well.
Then after doing more googling and clicking around I figured out you could layer images in Premier Pro and make them move just as you would in After Effects, which is great! There are two things hanging me up...
1. I used the wiggle effect in After Effects. For the life of me I cannot find or figure out an effect or preset similar to this in Premiere Pro. Is there such a thing? Or do I have to create rotation keyframes? (I think I'm using keyframes correctly).
2. Making the images stop-motiony and not smooth.
My question is... any suggestions on how to re-create the wiggle effect easily in Premiere Pro? Or is there away to create the effect in After Effects and then import the image into Premiere Pro and still be able to change the position and timing?
Please help! My deadline is tomorrow by the end of the work day!
Please forgive me if these are silly questions... go easy on me, I'm soo new! Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for the reply!
I read that... but it doesn't preview the whole thing? It only previews a few seconds and then loops. I tried to figure out how to change the preview settings, but I can't seem to get it to work.

How can I create an animated countdown timer?

Is there a way to create an animated countdown timer in Adobe Fireworks (animated gif)?
Thank you

In the Edit workspace, place the images you want to appear in each frame of the animation on separate layers of the Layers panel. For example, to create an animation of an eye blinking, you would place an image of the open eye on one layer, and an image of the closed eye on another layer.
Choose File > Save for Web.Note: If your image has multiple layers, you can also open the Save For Web dialog box from the Save As dialog box by choosing CompuServe GIF Format and selecting Layers As Frames.
Optimize the image in GIF format.
Select Animate.
Set additional options in the Animation section of the dialog box:
Loop Continuously repeats the animation in a web browser.
Frame Delay Specifies the number of seconds that each frame is displayed in a web browser. Use a decimal value to specify fractions of a second. For example, use .5 to specify half a second.

How can i create inputschedule and Reoprt in single work sheet???

Hi experts,
Can you please tell me how do i create input schedule and report in one single work sheet???
Also please share How to guide of the same if you know.
Regards,
Charly

Hi charly, your question is quite interesting, obviously using workbook options you can either set your workbook to an Input Schedule or Report.
If you need to submit data, then obviously the workbook option has to be Input Schedule.
assuming you are using EVDRE's which are updateable as long as the Current View permits and Input Schedule flag is set:
If you define 'report' loosely as an area of the excel workSHEET which is read only, then you can lock the cells of the report area and use excels protect worksheet function.
If you are using EV formulae to return data (such as evget, evsnd) then you can use the EVGET function to ensure data is only flowing one way.
Hope this helps,
Hiren

How can I Create Class Diagram and save as image in Java

Hi
I have to make a project in java that will generate class diagram of the input class file.
I have some knowledge of listing methods/properties of a class file in text from but don't really know how to draw a class diagram model (JBuilder 2005 such class diagram whenever a class is compiled). I have to save that class diagram in an image file as well.
Please guide me what must be my line of action to follow. I need some suggestions on urgent basis.
Thanx in advance

How can I create transparent animated text with Motion and Final Cut Pro?

Hi all,
I am trying to replicate an effect that a previous video editor did in a project, but I can't contact them.
They made animated text in Live Type, and saved it as a QT movie. When this text is placed over existing video in the FCP project, the text is "transparent", basically it acts like text created in FCP (You can see the background image behind the text, like through the middle of the letter "o").
I have made some animated text in Motion, but when I save it as a QT movie, and bring it into FCP, the whole 1280x720 screen is covered by this movie, and I have to crop it so it does not cover the background image. It is all black except for the text. And of course the text is not on a transparent layer. Any ideas how I can create this effect with animated text? I've tried messing with transparency and overlay settings, nothing seems to work.
Running latest version of Final Cut Studio...
Thanks
Dave

Just bring the Motion (.motn) project into FCP and lay it over your clip.
The QT you're exporting has to carry the alpha channel (animation codec, million+ colors), but don't waste your time/disk space with that. Just bring the motion project into FCP.

How can I create a video clip that has multiple copies of the same subject playing at the same time? Basically like one person became 50 backup dancers!

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create a single video clip where my original subject (dancer) is multiplied on the screen many times. Basically I am trying to create a background video for a dance team and want to make it look like an army of the same person dancing behind them. Amy guidance would be great!
Thanks

Motion ($50) can do this with a replicator.

ADF & JSF : how can I create a clickable image

Hi,
How can I create a clickable object with an image property and have an action, I want to use it instead of a command button.
thanks,
Ahmad Esbita

Hi Ahmad
One way is to drop an objectImage tag inside a commandLink tag without a text attribute as follows:
<af:commandLink actionListener="#{backingBean.someMethod}">
<af:objectImage source="/someimage.gif"/>
</af:commandLink>The image is clickable raising the actionListener event.
Hope this helps.

How can I Create a white hot spot.

How can I create a white hotspot in an image, i.e. A bright spot with feathered edges for a figure to walk out of, a bit like a sun?

Create new layer, make an eliptical selection, and fill with the colour of choice. A muted yellow perhaps.
Use a high value Gausian blur to soften and feather the layer. High values of blur will make the flare very thin, so if too thin, duplicate the layer.
Use Free Transfor to size and shape the flare.
or
Select the figure, and copy to a new layer.
Double click the new layer to open Layer Styles, and use Outer Glow, and some inner glow. This is by far the better option as you can control the inner and outer glow independantly.
or
Open a new document with a square aspect ratio. Make it at least as big as the other image.
make a new layer, and make foreground colour yellow, and BG colour white
Go Filter > Render Fibers. Use full strength, and a lowish variance. You are looking for strong, closely spaced vertical streaks.
Now go Filter > Distort > Polar coordinates. Make sure Rectangular to Polar is checked and OK it.
Duplicate the layer to your other image document, and place behind the layer with your figure on it.
You can play with the flare layer with curves, or maybe add a wee bit of blur and then harden with curves or levels
If you want the flare layer to overlap the figure a bit, Ctrl (Cmd) click the figure layer to load it as a selection, and add a layer mask to the flare layer. Move the flare layer above the figure layer. Now feather the layer mask, using the Mask Properties panel, or use Mask Edge options in the Mask properties panel to expand, or contract the mask.
Good luck, and let us see the end result.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

How can I create Droplets using Actions with several Stops?

My Droplets (using Actions but with several Stops) work very nicely when using a single image source. However when using multiple images thing start to go crazy.
At the first stop on the first image a pop-up emerges asking me to continue to the next image or stop. If I select stop I can continue with the Action for this first image and complete the Action on that first photo.
If I select continue it halts the action on that photo at the first stop then opens the 2nd image and repeats the action to the first stop on the next photo then the pop-up appears again and the cycle repeats.
How can I create Droplets using Actions with several Stops?

I don't believe this is possible when starting from Java. I think you need to start with a WSDL to get this to work. I am curious as to why having multiple WSDLs is an issue, would you care to eloborate.
Thanks

How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4?

How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4? I followed the Garage Band process and ended up with the ring tone I want as a AAC audio file. It got stored in my iTunes a a song rather than a ring tone. How do I make it a ring tone vs. a song? I tried dragging it t the Ring Tone category at the bottom of the ITunes list, but it won't alloow me to move it?

There's also an easy to use Applescript over at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes. It automates the whole thing. All you do is set the start and stop time on a file in iTuens and run the script. It will do everything else.

              username="jagrandb" password="jagrantest" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
              maxWait="-1"/>
but when i have used this way i got following exception.
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.PoolingDataSource$PoolGuardConnectionWrapper cannot be cast to oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection

https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2564233
2. write following line of code apache conf/Server.xml file
<GlobalNamingResources>
    
    <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
              type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
              description="User database that can be updated and saved"
              factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
