How do I make a line fade?

http://bhbws.com/images/line_fade.png
How can I get a line to fade out at the bottom like this one does? I know how to add the dropshadow but it doesn't fade out at the bottom....
TIA

If I wanted to do that (and do it in a non-destructive fashion), I'd draw the the solid white line. Then I'd create square with a gradient fill next to it for the shadow. I'd then group them and go to Commands > Creative > Auto Vector Mask. There's a million different ways to acheive that effect, but that's where I'd personally start.

How can I make a line at 40 degree angle in Keynote 6

How can you make a line of 40 degrees (or anywhere between 40 to 45) angle in the new Keynote 6.2.2. It seems they took away that nice feature from the previous version. When I move one end of a line, it locks onto 45 when I get near that angle, and jumps off directly to 34 when I try to move away. Previously you could click on a line to transform the ends into red spots, and move them independently to any angle or length. Now it locks onto 45, or 135 or 90 etc. I don't have any of the guides on or any other feature. This is supposed to happen only when holding shift key (which is also a great feature). If it locks onto the magic angles without holding shift, then there is no sense if having that feature at all.

Press the command key when dragging, this switches off snapping and allows continuous placement.
If you like numerical control: Inspector > Format > Arrange > Rotate

Sounds like you have a stroke on it. Select the frame and set the stroke to none.

We do agree with your assessment and have plans to improve all of these aspects. Unfortunately, it takes a long time and a lot of work to turn "working" software into "simple to use" software, but we are working on it, and it is a high priority for us to make it simpler to use and develop for and administer Coherence.

How do i make a line vector get longer over time?

I'm trying to make straight lines grow out of a stationary dot, like veins. I've tried shape tween, but it only works for shapes, not lines. I'd just get a blank workspace when I hit play. I've also tried motion tween, but I can't get the line to grow continuously to a point. Can someone help me please? I'm very new to Flash.

How about drawing a very short line - don't make it a symbol.
Add 60 frames or so, enter a keyframe at the end.
On that last keyframe, scale the line to the size you want.
Select the other frames, right click, choose shape tween.
Your line will grow
You could then duplicate the rows and rotate the lines, or make into a MovieClip and then duplicate/rotate the movie clip for multiple versions.

How do I make the line tool work again?

Can you help me make the line tool operate properly again? I just now accidentally touched something on my keyboard. And now, when I click on the Line Tool in the Tools Panel, and then press the "x" key to toggle the color of the line tool between being black, or being white, neither options works anymore. Now, when I draw a line, it does not apply a black line to my drawing. And when I toggle and press the "x" key again, it doesn"t apply a white line to the drawing either. When the line tool is "white", and I draw a line across a black area, nothing happens. The white line tool doesn't apply to the drawing.
When I've gone to your "help" menu, I'm instructed to press the "Object Drawing Button" in the "Tool Panel". But I've looked at every item in the "Tool Panel" and I cannot find the "Object Drawing Button"..
Can you give me the steps that will help me make the line tool work once again?
Thanks, Mardty Anderson

Thank you for taking your time to respond. I'm using Adobe Photoshop
Elements 11.
A colleague was able to get the problem solved. He chose the "star"
instead of the line. The star worked fine and showed up on the drawing
I'm working on. Then he switched back to the "line". Lo and belold, the
line worked. It's been working fine ever since. Maybe it was a bug in
the program?
Do you know how to use the Picture Organizer in this Photoshop program?
I have several thousand illustrations. The Organizer seems to recognize
some of them (like 5 or 6). But most all of them only appear as a blue
box with a flower design in it. When I click on the blue box, more
pictures appear, but only very quickly does a picture flash up on the
screen, and then it disappears again.
I wish there was a tutor here in the Tucson, Arizona area that I could
hire who could come to our office and coach me. There are several of us
who don't understand this Photo Organizer. Do you know of any leads in
which we could hire a personal tutor for a morning?
Thanks again for your kind response to my first call for help, (Miss)

How Do I make curved lines with the pen tool in after effects CS6

Hello, so I have been following this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKzB-CFT0MI on how to make 2d intros in after effects and at the 2:20 mark he shows how he uses the pen tool to make curved lines around the elipse. I tried to do the samething myself, and couldent make the curved lines. I looked it up online and there were tutorials on how to make curved lines but they did not work the same way, and I could not make curves like he did.So if any of you know how to do curved lines like in the video, your help will be appreciated.
Thanks !

This is basic stuff and it's basically the same way Illustrator or Photoshop works with bezier paths. You'll find a lot of helpful information if you just type masking or mask in the Search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of the app.
Adobe - Search: masking
Directly from the Help Files: After Effects Help | Creating shapes and masks
Mylenium.. sorry you thought it was an awful tutorial. I made it in under a minute just to show this member the very basic task of creating a mask with the pen tool and animating the shape. I'll try and up the quality of my quick replies to simple operations.

How can I make a line appear on each page in exactly the same position?

I have created a simple line at the top and bottom of my page that I would like to be replicated on every other page in the document.
Is there anyway in which I can make it recognise that I want these two lines to be used on every single page?

How do I make a clip fade in from white, without affecting / overlapping the previous clip?

Hi,
The simple scenario is, I have two clips in my timeline. I have the the first clip that ends on a white flash frame. I want the second clip to fade in from white, so that there is visual continuity between the two clips. I don't want to change the duration of the two clips and add any additional frames.
Whenever I use the Fade To Colour dissolve, and simply switch out the black colour to white, which does exactly what I want, the dissolve always affects / overlaps the first clip when you subsequently put them together. How can I have only the second clip fade in from white and be affected by the Fade To Colour?
I've also tried using the compositing opacity handles in the show video animation dialogue but this only lets you fade the clip in from a black background. If I could change the colour of that compositing opacity background to white, so that it fades in from white instead of black, then that would be perfect but I can't see how you can do it? Can that be done?
I'd like the simplest and quickest possible solution, ideally changing the colour of the compositing opacity background would be best but how else can I have a clip fade in from white?
Thanks,
Clown Guy

I also have this question. Avid lets you change the frame up/down - to/from a dissolve point. In other words, I could have a dissolve go "up" at, for example, 5 frames, and then "down" at, say, 15 frames. As it stands now, FCPX only allows you the same amount of frames on either side of the cross-dissolve. (A 30-frame dissolve is split 15 frames on either side of the transition.)
Other NLE's give you the option for a dissolve to occur at the BEGINNING, in the MIDDLE (STANDARD CROSS-DISSOLVE) or at the END of a transition. (Depending, of course, on if you have the "handles" to execute the transition,)
Can we achieve this in FCPX? Is this where we launch the "precision editor?"

How do I make a line graph that shows temperature readings taken on specific dates?

I need to make a chart of my wife's temperatures taken via ovulation thermometer. All I need is a line graph that shows the temperatures on the y axis and the dates the measurements were taken on the x axis.
What is the easiest way to do this? Please explain in detail as I have almost no knowledge regarding Numbers. Thanks.

You can construct a Line graph or a Scatter graph to display this.
The two are similar, but require the data to be set up differently.
A Line graph is a Category graph.
Each 'date' is a text value that names a category. The categories are equally spaced along the category axis. Measurements taken on day 1, day 2 and day 4 would be equally spaced with respect to the category axis.
Each temperature reading is a numerical value, and is represented on the graph by the distance it is placed from (and usually above) the category axis.
A Scatter graph has two value axes.
Each Date is a Date and Time value. The position of these values depends on the value itself. Measurements taken on February 1, February 2 and February 4 wound not be equally spaced. Along the Date axis, the space between the second and third dates would be twice as wide as that between the first and second cates.
Each temperature reading is a numerical value, and is represented on the graph in the same manner as in the Line graph.
Here's an example of each, using the same data set.
For the Line graph (left), the Category labels (dates) are placed in a Header column, and the temperatures in a non-header column,
For the Scatter graph, both the dates and the temperatures are in non-header columns. The Chart Inspector was used to Connect the data points with straight line segments, and the weight of these lines (and size of the data point markers) was increased to more closely match the weights and sizes in the Line graph.
Data on the graphs is not intended to have any similarity to temperatures measured for your purposes.
The construct the line graph:
Set up the data and labels as described.
Select the cells containing the data (column B in my case).
Click the Chart button and choose the Line Chart.
To construct the scatter chart:
Set up the data as described.
Select the cells containing the date and temperature data (columns A and B for mine)
Click the Chart button, and select the Scatter Chart button (third from the bottom),
In the Chart inspector, click the Series button, then set the Connection Points menu to Straight. Change the Data Point size yo 15.
Click anywhere on the line to select it, then in the Stroke section of the Format bar, set the line weight to 4 points.
Click on the box containing the dates (under the chart), then click the ruler icon in the Inspector to show the metrics inspector. Use the Rotate control to set the angle for the dates to about 75°.
Click on the label for this axis (Dates) and drag it to a position below the date labels.
Regards,
Barry

How do you make a line appear to draw itself?

I want to make a border appear to be "drawing itself" around
a rounded rectangle on my site, how would I go about doing it? I'm
sure it's easy but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Also,
I want to have an X appear to draw itself on the site to cross out
some text, how would I do this? (the X I want to use is a graphic,
not a vector graphic).
Thanks big time!
