How to add keyframes on blending Mode (Normal, Soft Light etc)

Hi All,
How can I add keyframes on blending mode? I have a movie layer and need it to start from Soft Light with sooth transition to Normal or Hard Light in a few seconds.How can I do this?
Thanks
Andy

Thank you. I have found another way here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7d0aa.htm l
"You can’t directly animate blending modes by using keyframes. To change a blending mode at a certain time, split the layer at that time and apply the new blending mode to the part of the layer that continues. You can also use the Compound Arithmetic effect, the results of which are similar to the results of blending modes but can change over time."
Have you tried that? which way is preferrable quality-wise?

How to work around "screen" blending mode in CMYK document?

The document has been created in CMYK from the start. But I would like to add "glints" over the image and I normally do this by simplyl setting the "glint layer" to "screen" blending mode (when working in RGB color mode). As you all know, this does not yield desirable results when working in CMYK mode. What is the best way to get this type of effect in CMYK mode? Attached are 2 jpegs to help illustrate my point. (Text and logos have been blurred out).
Here is the "glint layer" which I usually just set to "screen mode" to take out the black, but this does not work in CMYK mode.

Okay so here is the same 2 documents again. The document on the right was the one that I tweeked, (the CMYK one). I used the "img, adjustments, brightness/contrast" and I boosted the contrast up to 100% which I feel got me the rest of the way there. This is very close to the RGB effect on the left and I feel that with a tiny bit more tweeking I can get this to work. Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I am going to credit c.pfaffenbichler with the correct answer as his comment was the one that helped me personally the most. Thank you guys for the excellent help.
So once again to clarify the correct answer. Create the doc in CMYK, grab your "glint layer". Adjust the curves and then maximize the contrast and then set the layer to screen.
Thanks again guys!
Cheers,

How to keep Opacity and Blending Mode values

Hi!
I'm working with shades/highlights and since I have to make many shapes with the same values of color, opacity, blending mode, I wonder how can I make it to keep them configured, so I dont have to go to each path and change the values every time. The only value that stays is the color, but for example, the opacity changes everytime I start a new shape with the pen tool, and as I said, I'm working with shadings for a portrait, so I have to make lots of shapes with the same characteristics. Does somebody know a way to set these values and keep them "by default" so to say??
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, it's just what I was looking for!

How to add enter-in-insert mode without post-generation steps

Hello,
We'd like to enter one of our pages in insert mode.
We found the trick how to do it, there is one step which is a post JHeadstart generation step (add code to Page Definition). I'd like to know if we can avoid this post-generation step
Here the complete list of steps
(1) Model project, set View Object, Tuning to 'No Rows'
(2) ViewController Project
2.1 JHeadstart settings for the page
- Single-row insert allowed Yes
- Single-row update allowed Yes
- SHow New Rows at Top Yes
2.2 Generate the JHeadstart application
2.3. Go to the Page which you'd like to enter in insert mode and click on 'Go to Page Definition'
Add in the <executable> part the following code
<invokeAction Binds="CreateAanmakenAdminEenheden" id="invokeCreate" Refresh="renderModel"
RefreshCondition="${!adfFacesContext.postback and empty
bindings.exceptionsList}"/>
(see also http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/web_form006.htm for more information)
Make sure that the Binds part has the sam name as the <action id='Create...' which is available in the bottom part of the page definition.
My question is
How can we avoid this last post-generation step, the addition of code to the Page Definition file.
I know you can unclick the 'Generate Page Definition' property in JHeadstart, but that introduces a risk that functionality is not included after changing the page.
Regards Leon
By the way, this is a lot of of work, just for entering a page in directly in insert mode. I think there can be made some improvement in ADF to accomodate this (a lot wanted) functionality.....

Navid,
You need to create custom templates to achieve this. The easiest way to get everything in place, is to first generate the group as insert-only (without search and query).
This will generate the following:
- in the page definition the ControllerClass property will be set to a JSF EL expression, something like #{EmpWizardPageLifecycle}
- in the group beans config file, two beans are generated like this:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>EmpWizardPageLifecycle</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.lifecycle.JhsPageLifecycle</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>beforePrepareRenderMethods</property-name>
<list-entries>
<value-class>oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.bean.InvokeMethodBean</value-class>
<value>#{CreateEmpWizardMethod}</value>
</list-entries>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>validateADFModel</property-name>
<value>false</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>CreateEmpWizardMethod</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.bean.InvokeMethodBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>methodBinding</property-name>

<value>bindings.CreateEmpWizard.execute</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>executeCondition</property-name>

<value>jsfNavigationOutcome=='StartEmpWizard' or param.StartEmpWizard=='true'</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
The executeCondition does the trick here: it causes the page to start in insert mode when the navigation outcome is 'StartEmpWizar' or there is a request param named StartEmpWizard with value true.
So, to get this functionality in a normal queryable group, you need to create a custom template for the groupFacesConfig.vm and add the two bean defs as above. And to get the ControllerClass property generated correctly, you can use the advanced group-level property Page Lifecycle class and set this to #{EmpWizardPageLifecycle}.
(and replace EmpWizard with your own group name)

How to add 'Other' cloud storage accounts - alongside Dropbox, Evernote etc in AiO Remote

I wonder if anybody knows what types of 'Other' accounts can be added in the Cloud Storage settings in HP All In One Printer Remote mobile apps. The usual options for Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive etc are there but there is also an option of 'Other' under the 'Add Account' section.
In 'Other' you are asked for the following details:
Name (An identification name)
User Name
Password
Server URL
I'm wondering whether this is for FTP or WebDAV or HTTP Post etc? I'm hoping the answer is WebDAV. The issue here is that I would rather use a service I host myself than a Public Cloud Service.
Any ideas or assistance gratefully received.
Many thanks,
James

@ClioRoughneck
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the HP All In One Printer Remote mobile app. After explore the app, on both Android and iOS, here is what I found.
The option that you describe is only found in the iOS app. I found the "other" that you spoke about in the settings menu. My understanding of this is that you can connect to a server, etc. Here is what it says in my settings:
Name (My server)
User Name ([email protected])
Password
Server URL (http://host.com)
Please understand that the above example is from an iPad Air running iOS 7.
Hope this helps.

Debug error when changing blending modes

Hi there,
I get a Debug Error every time I use 2 Adjustment Layers one above each other, with the following effects applied:
Adjustment Layer Above:
- Tint, not keyframed
- Opacity Blending Mode: Color Dodge
Adjustment Layer Below:
- Venetian Blinds, not keyframed
- Offset, keyframed
- Turbulent Displace, keyframed
- Opacity Blending Mode: Normal
Media layer below:
- JPG, Canon 60D - 5184x3456 - no effects applied
The error I get (option to 'Continue', but the program doesn't respond and needs to be closed):
Premiere Pro Debug Event
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[..\..\Src\CutlistRenderer.cpp-717]
Error in Events panel:
An input contract violation has occurred!
I first started to get this error, while working with various media files in 1440x1080/HDV 1080i mode (Sony Z7U native)/29.97fps/1.33 sequence. Trying to understand what it goes wrong, I created a new project and recreated the adjustment layers (AL) with same effects applied - the only thing changed was the JPG added as media under both ALs. Same debug errors every time the blending is changed from normal to any other blending mode. With normal blending on the AL above, everything is fine.
After further testing, it looks like even with only one AL (no effects) above the JPG, get the same debug error when blending is changed from normal to any other mode.
Important note: Same layer+effect configuration applied in 1920x1080/ARRI Cinema mode/24fps/1.0 sequence - it works with no debug error. Haven't tried any other editing modes yet.
Layers, in order from top:
- AL (Venetian Blinds, Tint, Offset, Turbulent Displace - Color Dodge blending)
- AL (Venetian Blinds, Tint, Offset, Turbulent Displace - Normal blending)
- AL (Timecode effect)
- Title
- media, MPEG (1440x1080, 29.97 frame rate, 1.3333 pixel aspect ratio)
- After Effects composition (dynamic link) 1920x1080 - content: media file, MPEG (640x480, 30fps, 1.0 + various titles and effects, including color dodge blending
I googled for similar error reports, there are none related to Premiere Pro.
I don't know what else to do, rather than just avoid using this effect configuration.
Does anyone else had this issue, even in different situations?
Thank you very much for any feedback.
Best,
Mark

Blending mode help please!!!!!

Hi everyone.
I'm now using a mac for indesign and I've found that to preview different blending modes (normal-multiply-screen etc) on an object I have to click on each mode separately. Is there any way you can cycle through them and see the results? - In photoshop you press shift, and then + or - and it will cycle. - This way is far quicker and less fiddly!
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris.

That's very strange, I'm nearly sure I got that tip from someone who works with Mac Os?
I find that if I call up the panels with a shortcut key the first field is highlighted, I can then Tab around the panel.
If I click withing the Panel at any stage, then the tab key hides all the panels.
Sorry it doesn't work for you, cycling the blend modes is great, sometimes I know I need Multiply, but I cycle them anyway to see if anything looks better.
Maybe someone who is Mac orientated knows of another way.

Are there blending modes for the layers?

Like in Photoshop, is it possible to take on shape and blend (multiply, difference, soft light, etc.)the layers? I can't seem to locate it in Illustrator.
Thanks all!

Transparency panel.
Layers in Illustrator don't mean the same as Layers in Photoshop. Think of Illustrator's Layers as equal to Photoshop's Layer Groups (folders in the Layers panel), with each object on an Illustrator equivalent to a Layer in Photoshop. You can change the Transparency Blend Mode of any object on a layer independent of the layer itself. If you click on the circle to the right of a Layer's name you can target that layer and change the entire Transparency Blend Mode for the Layer.

Why is a layer blending mode result altered by adding and effect?

I've done a search online and haven't come up with an answer but does anyone
know why a layers blending mode result is altered by adding an effect?
I am using CS3 on a PC (Windows XP SP2) and have two layers; one a Tiff and
a second a text layer with an ambient light and a spot shining on them. Both
layers have 3D turned on and accept lights and are in the same position in
space.
To make the text, which is coloured black, sit better I changed the layers
blend mode to soft light which works well.
I wanted to soften the edge of the text a little so I added a Fast Blur
effect and suddenly the result of the blend was completely different. If I
turn off the effect it goes back to what it was before but even if the Fast
Blur is set to zero, ie no blur on the layer, the blend result is altered.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Many thanks for that. I tried the Box Blur but it too shifted the result of the blend. In the end, to get this job out of the door, I changed the colour of the text to orange, lowered the opacity and used Multiply as the layer blend mode. Adding the Fast Blur effect to this didn't shift the result of the blend mode. It's not as sexy a look as using Soft Light but it works. I wonder if it's something going on with the maths or this a real bug? <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Presumably a bug that uses the blur's convolution kernel when it > shoulddn't.

How to apply blending modes to a gif in CS6?

Hello everyone! I am in need of a tutorial or at least a how-to-step-through on how to apply the different blending modes on a gif.
For this specific situation, I have a gif with a black background and a white semi-glowing scope, but I just want the white glowing scope to show.
I think that Lighten would be a good blending mode, but I just don't know how to produce the results I want.
Could anyone give me a reference or a guide on how to do this?
I'm not sure how to edit a gif either, being that there are so many tutorials saying this and that, leaving me confused in the end.
If someone could break all this down for me in detail(as simple as possible) and what not, that'd be great!
Until then, thank you!

GIFs are in indexed color and don't support any blending modes nor layers. You need to do an Image --> Mode --> RGB and then a whole new world will open up...

How do you make the layer mode take effect with no background in Elements?

I have a picture of water splashing over a black background (like this:
although this isn't the exact one). By turning the blending mode to "screen", I get the effect I want: it basically looks like the water is splashing over my image. The thing is, I need to save it as a .png file with part of the water "dripping" off the edge of my photo onto a transparent background (background must be transparent). The problem I have is as soon as the image hits the transparent background, the black comes back.
I need a way to either remove all the black from the photo or, more ideally, find a way to make the image I see in "normal" blending mode the same as the image I see in "screen" mode. Any ideas? (I have Photoshop Elements 7.0, btw)
Thanks!

I don't understand how you're using "screen" blending mode on a single image, but is this the effect you're trying to get (I used a blue colour to show the transparent area at the bottom of the image):
I used the free KillWhite plug-in (http://mikes3d.com/extra/scripting-plugins/killwhite/) with your image:
Converted the image to RGB. (Image...Mode...RGB Color)
Duplicated the background layer (Ctrl+J).
Inverted the colours on that duplicated layer (Ctrl+I), so that the black background becomes white.
Used KillWhite to...well...kill the white on that layer.
Inverted the colours again.
Used Enhance...Lighting...Brightness/Contrast as well as Levels to darken the water splash.
Added my flower image below the water splash layer and raised the bottom edge of the flower image to leave a transparent area.
My layers wound up looking like this:

Hue Blend Mode Confusion

Hello,
In reading about the Hue blend mode, I have come to understand (perhaps erroneously) that given two layers (T)op and (B)ottom, that if the Blend Mode of T is set to Hue, then the hue information in T will be blended with the saturation and luminosity in B, which essentially means that the hue information in B is replaced by the hue information in T. However, in running some experiments, I've noticed that when dealing with a very simple document comprised of two layers only, that setting the Blend Mode to Hue also changes the saturation and brightness.
Here are the steps to duplicate the observed phenomena using two regular layers:
Create a new blank document.
Fill with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (0, 70, 50).
Add a new layer above the existing layer (blend mode Normal).
Fill the topmost layer with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (230, 70, 50).
Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50).
Change the Blend Mode of the topmost layer to Hue.
Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50), but instead read as (230, 66, 53).
And here are the steps to duplicate the observed phenomena using a regular layer and an adjustment layer:
Create a new blank document.
Fill with the color that corresponds to the HSB values (0, 70, 50).
Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (blend mode Normal).
Adjust the Hue value in the Properties panel for the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to be -130.
Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50).
Change the Blend Mode for the Hue/Saturation layer to be Hue.
Using the Info panel, the HSB values for the document should read as (230, 70, 50), but instead read as (230, 66, 53).
The results in both (for me) are identical. Am I misunderstanding the Hue blend mode?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for your straightforward and helpful answer. So, it would appear that my simplistic understanding of the Hue blend mode as 'replacing' the hue of the underlying layer(s) is incorrect. Would a fair rendering of what the Hue blend mode actually does be as follows?
"The Hue blend mode will perform a direct replacement of the hue in the underlying layer(s). The brightness and saturation of the underlying layer(s) will not be affected *unless* the resultant hue, saturation, and brightness 3-tuple would result in an illegal HSL combination, in which case the saturation and brightness of the resultant pixels will be altered to bring the HSL values into compliance."
Also, is there a way for the Info panel to display HSL values?
Thanks again,
Matt

CS5.5 Blending Modes Won't Work?

Being an avid user of AfterEffects CS4, the transition to CS5.5 was painless.. Except for the fact that the blending modes don't work. This has halted all my projects.
What happens is that when I select a blending mode, nothing happens. It shows that I set the layer to 'add', but absolutely nothing happens. I just got CS5.5 yesterday, so I haven't changed any settings that could mess it up (That I know of).
Any help would be appreciated!!!

I'm confused. Blending modes require two or more layers. They work to blend one layer with the layer beneath it. But you only have one layer. How are you determining that blending modes aren't working?
See this for basic information about blending modes.
