How to animate hand written letters?

I am trying to create a simple animation. I have an image of a hand written word and i would like to animate it so the letters appear in an order that looks like the word is being written. Please explain in simple terms what you think would be the easiest way to do this. I am fairly new to Flash Professional and I would like to figure it out. I plan to upload this to YouTube. The animation only needs to be like 4 seconds long. Thanks!

You need to do a frame by frame animation where you either use masking to gradually reveal portions of the handwriting or you draw in small pieces in each successive frame until you have the completed drawing displayed.
For the second approach it is can be accomplished somewhat easily (with some patience) if you start with the completed drawing in frame 1 and then copy it to the next frame and remove a small piece from the end...  repeat this frame by frame until you have nothing left, then reverse the frames (there is a control available for reversing frames)

  • Need to remove a background but keep the image, in this case, some hand written lettering I want to put on a different background.

    I just bought the Photoshop Elements 13 app for my Mac Book.  I always have trouble with the help menus and never give myself enough time to go through tutorials. So it's a simple question I have, I think.
    I have some hand written lettering that I scanned to put on the back of a CD jewel case. I want to take just the lettering and place it over a different background.  How do I do this without having to cut out each individual letter to eliminate the background lined paper I hand wrote on? Could someone please point me in the right direction??

    Is the lettering separate from the lines?
    It would help if you post the scan. You can do that via the camera icon at the top of the reply box here on the forum.

  • How do I create hand written signatures on the trackpad?

    I have an iMac 27" with Retina Display and also added a trackpad. I saw somewhere that you can create a hand written signature using the trackpad but I don't know how to do it. The closest thing I saw was in Preview but it didn't have an option to save the signature.

    Thank You!
    This solution will work using the camera but I read somewhere that using the trackpad you can capture the real signature (and indeed it does in Preview). I still don't know how to save this file in Preview to use in a PDF or Pages document. Also the trackpad only records a signature image using one's finger which turns out to be way too large to use. When I try to use a pen (no ball out) or an unsharpened pencil, it will not work. This would provide a signature that is the size of my real signature.
    So thank you for the answer using the iMac camera (I saw this in Preview) but how do you do it with the Track Pad without using your finger?
    PS - I'm just learning to use Apple's Yosemite OS. I have Parallels on my iMac and it runs Windows 7. I have used a PC my entire life and I now want to use just the Apple OS but am not familiar with a lot of it. I am going to One-to-One sessions this year (had my first "lesson" a week ago).

  • Can I use an iPad for taking hand written notes using a stylus? Not a large stylus, but a one like Sumsungs.

    Can I use an iPad for taking hand written notes using a stylus? Not a large stylus, but a one like Sumsungs.

    Hi HawkeyeD1977, thank you for watching!
    1) I don't think you can really scratch the screen with the Jot Script. I don't have a screen protector, but I have reasons to think it will still work if you have one (I tried the Scrip through a think sheet of plastic, and I still works: more on that in my next video).
    2) It's true that the Script is noisy, but as I often say: have you ever tried to focus on the background noise of, say, a classroom? It is very noisy too! I'm always surprised by how good our brain is to filter background noises. So really, it depends on your environment and on the ability of your brain to filter noise. For me, I'd rather use a stylus that is a little noisy but very precise. It also depends on how you write text: as you can see on my video, I don't lift my pen very often, I write big groups of letters together.
    3) You should watch my latest video about that: I talk about Memo and Notes Plus. Memo has a handwriting technology that you can test for free, and buy as an in-app purchase inside Notes Plus, to use in a realy note-taking app. In Notes Plus, you can indeed convert just selected areas containing text.
    4) It won't have a text convertor, not in the next update. Maybe latter!
    If you want more information about the Jot Script, stay tuned: by the end of the week, I will have uploaded a video to talk about the Scrip with more hindsight after one month.

  • Window/Animation has gone - how to animate please

    I can't work out how to animate 2 simple images in Photoshop Extended CS6. Window/Animation has gone in Photoshop CS6. I don't want video, but the Timeline won't let me use the images. Nor can I drag anything. If I click the little right hand arrow in timeline there is nothing there like before. For example, I used to be able to click Make frames from layers in the old version. There does not seem to be a way to do that now. Can anyone point me to instructions please? Thank you.

    I just found out that if you click a new button in the middle of the timeline called Make animation, it moves one image. Then you can access the Make frames from layers. Wish there was a help file to show me how to do this.

  • How to animate JFRAME

    hi all ,
    any body know how to animate the JFRAMEwindow on closing and minimizing or whatever or place the application in the systray and to invoke the same in java

    there are several ways to produce this stuff:
    #1 - Generate an animateed gif and then apply this large image over the frame
    #2 - set a CardLayout to the container and then create a set of components, each of them containing a diferent image... Then, uses a timer task to change between the cards...
    #3 - Use a simple frame, an image array or vector and a timer task (or a simple Thread). Then override the paint method showing te current index of the image array ... Use the thread to change the current index..
    and so on..

  • How can i hand the RowSet to the next jsp page

    In a jsp page, I get a RowSet as the following:

    I want to handle with this RowSet in the next jsp page, so
    I do in the next jsp page as the following:

    But I was told null error. How can i hand the RowSet to the next jsp page.Help. Thanks a lot!

    Hello Charles,
    I did the registration in the same way as in the JDeveloper 3.2.3 (see follows)
    // make sure the application is registered
    oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry.registerApplicationFromPropertyFile(session , "ReefBC_BCPackage_BCPackageModule");
    The argument ReefBC_BCPackage_BCPackageModule is a property file (ReefBC_BCPackage_BCPackageModule.properties). After some tries, I can still use it in JDeveloper 9i R2. The reason to keep it is that there would be a lot of migration work of javabean calling if I change it to <job:DataWebBean..>. But I am wondering, do I initialize two application modules when I use registerApplicationFromPropertyFile() and <jbo:ApplicationModule..> in the same page.
    The problem in doStartTag() is found after I post "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jsp?forum=83&thread=155210&tstart=75&trange=15", by tracing into the <jbo:ApplicationModule..> after calling the OrdHttpUploadFormData. HtmlServices.getRequestParameters sends back an exception, that breaks the running of the program. It was temperorily solved by extending the ApplicationModuleTag. If <jbo:..> could use the application module initialized by registerApplicationFromPropertyFile(), I guess it may be a better workaround.

  • Converting scanned pdf's of hand-written items

    When trying to convert a scanned pdf of an item that was originally hand-written, it converts as mostly symbols or garbled words. Is the program unable to convert items with hand-written text vs. type? Thank you.

    Hi Janice,
    Yes - unfortunately the converter needs actual 'text' to grasp onto. Hand written items cannot not be 'read'.
    I'm so sorry to not be of more assistance! Let me know if you have any other questions....
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • How to animate 3D text

    This is a issue sI am having, anyone come across this?
    Our computer platform: Mac OS 10.10
    Photoshop/Lightroom version: Photoshop CC 2014
    I am trying to animate 3D extruded letters.  I had previously done this on PS 6 extended without issues. 
    Now when I split the extrusion, I can select the individual letters without an issue.  I can get them on the timeline without a problem.  When I try to roll them around a coordinate axis, they go randomly shooting off in different direction.  I have tried this by manipulating the coordinates directly and also the visual tool.  Both of this yield the same weird behavior. 
    I have reset my preferences and even uninstalled and reinstalled PSCC14
    Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    Have you ever found the solution to this problem?
    I'm having the same issue...works fine in CS6 but not in CC 2014.

  • How to animate buttons in DVDstudio4 ???HELP!!!

    hi to everybody
    just make the switch from iDVD to DVDstudioPRO4....
    so iam not very familiar with the new app yet -
    and maybe its a silly question but i can`t figure out
    how to animate buttons ??????
    having created a nice animated videobackground in Motion2.1
    i would now like the buttons to appear 10 seconds later
    with a decent fade in....as always seen in iDVD-themes??
    is there a way to achive that in DVDstudio??
    or can i somehow create that kind of active button animation
    in FCP/MOTION/LIVETYPE..
    thanks so much for your time answering .. :-))))
    julien

    You can only animate your background layer. Your 8bit overlays are not allowed to be animated in DVDSP but only allowed to appear at a certain point via your loop point adjustments. Adjust your loop point to 10 secs. Remember your overlay will not fade in, just appear at that point.
