How do I make this button look better in GIF?

I confess I am fairly new to Illustrator... but if you can point me in the right direction, it will be greatly appreciated.
All I need to do is to create a GIF that looks as good as a SWF. I have played with all the settings and I can't figure out how to do this!
This is how bad it looks when I exported to GIF
This is what I see in AI. Letters are much better defined.
How do I make AI export a simple GIF and make it look great?

In the save for web and device in the image tab check anti alias.

Hi Guys for making your picture brighter there are several adjustments which you have to make , i'll give you a walkthrough step by step. make sure all adjustments depends on your choice and satisfaction.
1. : Adjust the Levels slightly - Not much otherwise it will increase high tones in the picture. Shortcur [Ctrl + L], play with last slider in that window.
2. Adjust the curve to balcnce the tones whose values are now increased. Shortcut (Ctrl + M)
3. Adjust brightness in image Menu, make sure while adjusting brightness you take care of Contrast and Sharpness just to make picture lively not flat.
That's the major things you have to take care of, apart from this there are multiple ways which depends on user.
In case of any issue please reply or message me.

How do i make system fonts look better?

i am attempting to use univers, which is a system font and so exports as an image. i am using it at a larger size. when i preview in browser, it looks choppy. is there a way to make these system fonts less so, closer to the regular look of web safe fonts? thank you.

The short answer is set an opaque background fill on the text frame (it can be a solid color, gradient or background image).
When the browser or OS is drawing live text, it has the benefit of knowing the exact color of every pixel that will be behind the edges of the text and it uses this knowledge to adjust the colors of the edges of the text to smooth the appearance—a process called anti-aliasing.
When Muse is creating an image for a System Font in a text frame with a no fill (or a semi-transparent fill), Muse can't know with certainty exactly what colors will be behind the text. Therefore Muse uses a "grayscale" version of anti-aliasing. Grayscale anti-aliasing provides a better appearance than the hard stair steps of no anti-aliasing, but the end result is inferior to the color anti-aliasing that's possible when the background pixel colors are known and opaque.

How do I make my screen look better when watching movies?

I notice when I watch movies on my Macbook that there are negative parts when I'm sitting on an angle. Is there any way to solve this through calibrating it or the right lighting. This doesn't happen on my sister's older Powerbook G4 that has a matte screen.

Try not watching it on an angle and also try recalibrating it. Play around with the calibration until you find a setting that looks good for movies. Then save it. You can switch to it whenever you watch movies then.

How do I make this effect better? And some other good effects.

Okay I just put out a new video in which I tried to create an effect of audio waves distorting the air. I used this process. base clip, copy clip, new solid, generate radio waves on solid and set color to black, set track matte alpha on duplicate clip, added distort-bulge to duplicate clip. I will post the video so you can see what it turned out looking like. My question is what could I do to make this effect look better, and what other effects could I use for this type of clip?

I doubt you will get people throwing you ideas. After all, experimenting on your own is half the fun. Additionally, nobody will give away their best kept secrets that easily. Essentailyl you are also asking the wrong question: The question is not whether you can use and create 1000 different effects, but rather whether you can develop your own visual and artistic style. In the end, it doesn't matter whether you fry people with lightnings or laser beams, it matters that the execution of the effects is spot on and you have some work ahead of you there. As I already wrote, practice color correction to improve your results. Use the same effects in different scenarios and use variations of them, then learn how to refine them, e.g. in case of your lasers by adding smoke, debris, particles or again using color correction methods to give the illusion of charred trees, furniture or burn marks on the walls....

Need advice on how to make my website look better!

ive made a website for a security company but im just not 100% happy with it, i dont know if it doesnt look professional enough or things need changing design wise. i am open to any ideas on how to make my website look better, i also dont mind if anyone wants to dramtically change it if their idea is better. I would just very much appreciate a review and constructive critisism and ideas for a newly designed version of the site please!

Thanks!

As a novice, some things I see: The footer has redundant, unecessary images (4 large images-for your services--REDUNDANT) odd? The text part of footer: text seems close, scrunched, have some space between heading and items, DO NOT CENTER TEXT!,
One of the service links bought to page with SAME LARGE image on homepage-change picture, don't use same large image for 2 different pages.
DO NOT use CONTACT US as 1 of 5 links on menubar. Do in another creative way, and/or use footer for contact. I think this looks amateurish (my opinion of course).
If I remember, the homepage and the rest of site, have exact same page structure.--See if you can atleast change the structure of inner pages versus the homepage.
Didn't look at enough, but..maybe...
each of your services should be a main menu link on your menubar. I would not put contact us on menubar, and you also had another menubar link with no dropdown( of course ok, but maybe could restructure)--Also your last service (on right of menubar)---why is that one different, and not included with the other services??
Seems like your menubar (items) structure could be reworked.--I would suggest, briefly looking at, to maybe have each service as a primary menu heading/title..YOU MAY NOT NEED A DROPDOWN MENU? Make sure if dropdown it is necessary.
Local security should be one of your services.
Have your footer logo, as is to left, but maybe put your footer links more to the right;;It will 'balance' the footer section
Your top logo seems too close to your main LARGE image (Which btw, seems oddly large compared to the rest of your site?)--That LARGE top image(the same palce on every same looking page), seems too big for your page--Why doen't it line up with the rest off your page content?

Extract code into methods, so that when an action is performed a method is called. That way you can reuse the method for purposes such as resetting textfields to their default values, scores to default values, etc.
You can go one step further and seperate the GUI layer from the processing layer, by deriving classes that for example maintain and calculate a score.

How do you make multi cameras look the same?

So I have three cameras used in the shoot. Lighting is from regular track lighting most commonly found in ware shouse type venues. Cameras 1 & 2 are one foot off the ground pointing ever so slightly up. Camera 3 is shooting from 15 feet off the ground pointing down. How do I make them all look the same in post production? When I try to increase the brightness in camera 3 it looks washed out. When I try to dim the brightness in 1 & two it looks dark and shadowy.

Ideally you start with this:
• 3 identical camcorders.
• Manually set the white balance in each camcorder onsite before doing a shoot.
• Make sure the 'program' setting is the same in each camcorder, e.g. they should all be "Auto" or "Spotlight" or "Portrait" etc. - the one you prefer.
• If possible, manually set the exposure in each camera
What probably happened is your camcorders' auto exposure did its job and the cams pointing upward were underexposed because the sensor was affected by the overhead lights.
If your clips' brightness & contrast are reasonably close, start by applying the Color Corrector filter to each clip. Use the Visual control (you will see the button when you apply the filter) and then use the Eye Dropper tool to set the white & black points in each clip. If the cameras weren't too mismatched this may be enough to correct the brightness mismatch. I doubt you will get a perfect match but hopefully close enough that it's acceptable.

How can I make this scene in After Effects?

The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug. Gandalf vs The Necromancer (Sauron) - YouTube
I am making this scene in stop motion lego. How can I make this scene, the shield vs smoke and the flaming figure, including the shots that zoom into Sauron's mouth. How do I do these shots? I am new to after effects. I have done basic smoke before, but nothing like this. I've done snow and green screen and fire, but I'd just like some help. Thank you I have CS6

There is no plug-in or button, only careful planning based on knowledge of the process of combining layers of images into a final image. Every element in a composite is a separate layer. If you are new you need to do some basic research. There are lots of books out there that will show you the theory. Start on AMAZON or your public library. http://www.amazon.com/Effects-Visual-Compositing-Studio-Techniques/dp/0321934695/ref=sr_1_ 2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421914012&sr=8-… may be a good place to start. Once you get some knowledge you can start breaking down a shot like this:
Layers that I see in this shot in order.
Vignette to darken the corners of the shot
Foreground smoke
Lighting effects on smoke
Foreground branches
Middle ground actor as a track matte or mask source for
Middle ground smoke
Middle ground lighting effects in the smoke
Actor on rock
Rock to act as a mask for background lighting effects and smoke
Rock
Background smoke and lighting effects
Background
If your original footage contained the background, the rock, the actor, and the branches then your first task would be to separate each of those to a separate layer. Then you would create or shoot the smoke and lighting effects and start building the layers. You then would modify the masks and effects on each layer to create the light wrap and look of the atmosphere using blend modes. Then you would add color grading effects or overlays to simulate the lighting in the shot. If you were really doing a shot like this you would probably add some lighting cues on the set to help sell the idea that a bunch of energy was lighting up the actors face. Like Mulenium said, there may have easily been fifty folks working on this shot for several days. It's completely unreasonable to expect that you can just add a plug-in and adjust some sliders to create the effect. Every composite requires you to separate elements into layers and then sandwich the elements you need to create and sell the effect you want to sell.

How can I make a button "react"?

This is probably a super silly question, but you know how it is, sometimes we sit on the answer and still can't find it... How can I make a button react to a click? I just want the simple effect of the button changing colors or looking like the user pushed it. Right now it's just the same old plain button, no matter if I click it or not, you can't really tell the difference. How can I give it the "pushing the button" effect? Thanks guys!

You can choose image button and then choose from the available image buttons, or click on the folder icon when you select the image button and choose from the Gallery of Captivate 6.
Few image buttons change color on hover or onclicked, these effects are predefined in them.
Or you can edit that button on which you are working, from properties Panel.
The Post and Cancel button on this thread seems like a transparent button in Captivate with different fill and stroke color, and transparency is also less, and with corner radius of 0.
You will find these all optionns, when you will click on that button and then click on the properties panel.
Thanks.

Xcode 4: Target and Commands. How do i make a button open "Window"?

So to keep this short i'm making a very simple program and i need some help from Mac Developers.
I'm making it in objective-C and i want to make 1-button target another program for example when u click on the button it "focuses" on iPhoto like when u click on it yourselves. Now i also want it to instantly, do some key-commands. I want it to target program > enter > write something > enter.
I'm need this very very much. Please help me, it can't be that hard, if it is possible.
Now in the bottom of the program it says my name, but there's also a little button to the right. Now i just started with Mac Developing, have been working for 2months with iOS in Xcode 4. So i know how you switch "views" for iOS, but how do i make this little button to the right, open a "window" (It's gray, hehe) and the button should be highlighted and when u click it again it goes back to normal and it closes. Now pretty much all i know is how to make the pop-up window remove the red dot and x in the corner, so u can't manually close it. I've tried googling highlighting button when the window is open, but didn't find anything.
Please someone help me, this program is a free program and not for the AppStore.
I'm making it for a group of Mac users.

if you have a navigation controller do this: SecondViewCOntroller is the name to your .m (don't forget the import). SecondView is the name of your second View. You have to connect the function and the button in the xib file.
-(IBAction)press1
SecondViewController *nOVC = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondView" bundle: nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: nOVC animeted:YES];
Look at an example in apple developper...
Perhaps it's not that because you learn during two months iOS and it's a beginner thing.

How do I make multiple movies look like one?

I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
small flash animation. The final published flash file is
approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
(to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
multiple movies look like one?
Thank you.

Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
next movie?

How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.
