How do I create a similar line effect to this:

I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a similar line effect to this in illustrator, any ideas?
Thank you!

Draw a black spikes (vertically), option drag a copy, make a blend specified steps.
Copy paste in front, rotate 180 degrees, adjust position
Draw a circle on top, use as a mask.
Rotate all about 30 degrees.

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

I need to create a mouse hover effect on this map?

I need to create a mouse hover effect on this map.

Hi there.
You'll need to place something on top of it and play with opacity.
- Imagine you have an inverted color version of your building A in a clipped-transparent PNG - it has to be the exact size, so it fitts nicely
- Then you put that PNG on top of your map on the exact location of your building A
- Convert it to a symbol
- Inside the symbol:
- Put a trigger at 0ms and 500ms with the following code: sym.stop();
- Create an animation (with your building A image) with, say, 250ms, were it begins at 125ms with 0% opacity and at the end - 375ms - with 100% opacity. Put a label in the begining (250ms) saying mouseover and another at the end (350ms) saying mouseout
- Click on the actions of the building A image (the one with the inverted color or something similar) and choose "mouseover". write the following code: sym.play('mouseover');
- Go to the actions again, choose "mouseout" and write the following code: sym.play('mouseout');
That's basically it.

How can I create a horizontal line under a line of text?

Hi,
I have FM 12.0.3.424.
Does anyone know how to create a horizontal line under heading text that is the width of the page? Similar to creating a border but without the top and sides.
Is it even possible?
thank you in advance!

Use the "Frame Below" attribute in the Advanced tab of the Paragraph Designer for your heading tag to use a named Reference Frame from your Reference page. If you're using the default templates for your documents, you could try the Single Line selection (or make your own).

How do I create a Rubber Stamp effect?

If you are familiar with the font "Ink Pad", this is the effect I want to use on an object. It has the real rough looking edges of a rubber stamp. How can I create this effect with Illustrator?

Hello Kelly,
Here is a method that I use:
First place a photo of a wall or floor and use "Live Trace" default
You will end up with a black and white texture like this:
Then Select all the white areas and delete them. If you have a lot of black texture, feel free to delete as much as you want. You can always copy and paste pieces wherever you want.
Now Place your design on top of the texture you have created. Then send the design to the back.
The last step is to select the outlined text and the compound shapes and apply "Subtract From Shape Area" with Pathfinder. Please note that this option does not work on CS3 from the menu (one of the hundred of bugs of this lousy version), so please use the Pathfinder Window.
And this is the end result:
This was a quick sample, but I am sure you can do something a lot better than this sample. I think the difficult part is to get a good photo. Maybe next time I will use a damaged concrete floor or wall photo.
I hope this helps!

How can I create a shadow text effect?

How can I add a blur effect to text on a BufferedImage. I am trying to create a shadow text effect. Here is what I have currently.
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500,120,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Rectangle2D Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0,0,500,120);
Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.white);
g2d.fill(Rectangle);
g2d.draw(Rectangle);
//Shadow text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
shadow = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
shadow.draw(g2d, 13, 103);
//Main text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
text = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);
I found a blur effect but it affect the whole image not just the shadow. Here is an example.
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500,120,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Rectangle2D Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0,0,500,120);
Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.white);
g2d.fill(Rectangle);
g2d.draw(Rectangle);
//Shadow text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
shadow = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
shadow.draw(g2d, 13, 103);
Blur filter
float ninth = 1.0f / 9.0f;
float[] kernel = {ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth};
biop = new ConvolveOp(new Kernel(3, 3, kernel));
op = (BufferedImageOp) biop;
image = op.filter(image,null);
//Main text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
text = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);

I thought I answered that question?!
In your code above, watch out for statement:
image = op.filter(image,null); The resulted buffered image is new, so you are updating the reference held in variable image.
Unfortunately variable g2d is still refering to a graphics object back by the original image, so:
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);renders on the first buffered image, not the second.
Here's my code again, touched up a bit.

How do I create a pond ripple effect?

Hey guys, I'm designing a wrap for a hummer. My client wants it to look like the hummer has a force field and show a few bullets hitting the truck and causing a ripple. I googled this and found out that the "zig zag" filter under "distort" does this. Only problem is, this option is greyed out on my comp. It could be that my project file is half a gigabite (required for the size of printing on the truck). Could someone please help me figure out how to use this option or even suggest another program I can use to do this? I can't think of any other way.
This is the design I want the effect on
This is the effect I want.

Hi again.
Let's start at the beginning. Perspective. Shock waves propogate in concentric circles from the point of impact. Viewed at a 90 degree angle to the plane being struck, the shock waves will appear exactly as that, concentric circles, not ellipses. The side of the Hummer is vertical, so the viewing angle of a typical observer will be about 90 degrees. Creating concentic ellipses will make it appear as though the shockwaves are out of plane with the side of the Hummer.
My first post was a demonstration of principle. How to create the basic skeleton. What happens next depends on what you think the shock wave should look like. I wouldn't think it would look exactly like a high energy impact on a force field. A drop falling into a pond is not exactly high energy. They will both have concentric rings, but the distribution and profile of the waves would be different, I would expect. A physicist could properly inform us.
Anyway, I repeated a slight variation on the process on a 732mb file. As you note, the Zig Zag filter was not available. I didn't spend time perfecting the wave frequency and such.
1. Make a circular selection where you want the shockwave. (Make it elliptical if you're still not convinced about that.)
2. Copy the selection to a new layer. Ctrl+J is the easiest way.
3. Ctrl+Click on the layer thumb to create a transparency selection.
4. Convert the selection into a Layer Mask. Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection.
5. Select the Mask thumb. Ctrl+Click on the Mask thumb. You should get a circular selection.
6. Apply the gradient (radial) to the selection from the center. (You're painting the gradient onto the layer mask.) It will look like nothing happened.
7. Apply Bevel/Emboss to taste. Now you will be able to see the rings. I used the Ring-Double gloss contour to tart it up.
8. The Ripple effect is available at this file size. I applied it to to taste.
The number and spacing of the rings is determined by the number and spacing of the alternating 0 and 100 percent transparency pairs on the gradient applied to the mask. It's endlessly adjustable. If you want, you could double down with another layer, as in the tutuorial. The actual appearance of the rings can be modified for days just in the effects pallet. When you add Ripple or other effects to the rings, I would think you could get just about anything you want. Without too much trouble. It all depends on what you think a projectile striking a force field should look like. You can paint on the layer mask to lighten or darken portions.
But I just had another thought. With the Marqee Tool set to rectangular, select a work area surrounding where you want the shock wave. Copy it to a new layer. Create a new document and paste the new layer into it. Then you should be able to use the Zig Zag effect as in the tutorial. Then paste or drag the layers back into the original document and align to the original work layer. Delete both work layers. I just tried it and it worked for me in my 732mb file. But using the Zig Zag pond ripple seems to offer less flexiblity than the layer mask method. If assigned this task I would use a mask.
FWIW.

How do you create a mirror image effect on imovie 2014?

All the tutorials online show how to create a mirror image effect on imovie 2011, however there are none showing how to do it on the current version.

You can't do this in iPhoto.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Preview, already on your Mac.
Seashore (free)
_[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
[Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How can I create a multi-line combo box?

How do I create a dashed line growing longer?

Hi all,
I want to create a dashed line that grows longer. I made two keyframes (at frame 1 and frame 15) with dashed lines of different lengths. Motion or Classic Tween just makes the small line move to the right and then turn into the long line immediately at frame 15.
Shape Tween gets me the closest (actually shows a line growing), however, it turns into a solid line in the intermediate steps.
My next idea is to create a mask that slowly reveals more of the line. Is that the best solution?
Thanks!

yes, use a tweened mask. that's the easiest solution.

How do I create a Vertical Line?

Hello Forum,
I created a vertical line between the navigation and main content. I made the right side of the “side panel” visible to create the line.
It works in IE, but if viewed in Firefox, there is a gap at the end of some of the pages. Is there a better way to place a vertical line there or is there a fix for Firefox?
Here is a link to the site: http://siennastaffing.com/coastpi/services.html

Divs don't behave the same as table columns. If you want to create the illusion of equal height columns with CSS, you will need to use a background image equal in width to your #container division and repeat-y.

How do I create a 'write on' effect?

Hello,
Say I had an image of some text that spelt 'TOM' - is there anyway I could animate a mask that makes it look like the image is written on?
My logic is coming from doing the same thing in after effects but I'm aware edge animate is very different.
Please let me know if there are anyways of creating a 'write on' effect.
Thanks!
