How to make shape style move slower?

Hi. I've drawn a nice mask with dabs over an object, applied Light Streak 1 shape style to the mask so that the object draws on over time with a nice light stroke. But it happens too quickly. I would like the effect to happen slower, or possibly slow down and hold the light effect at a certain point. Can't quite figure out how to do this. Please help. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the assistance. Got things to work better, and even tried using the pen tool to create the line that draws around the object, but couldn't seem to get it 100% right. Using the mask tool and doing a few cheats to get the duration longer. The link provided was a great help, but alas, everything tried there didn't work 100% either. Grabbing keyframes works for making shorter durations, but making the motion longer... had some troubles. Ah well, it's solved for now!

How to make text/objects move nonlinear speed on AE CC?

Hi,
I was wondering two questions:
1) how to make "text holders" that has small animation. Here is an example from a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oSWt84VoAg (0:41).
2) how to move objects with increasing speed and soft slow down. I know how to change speed, but how to make it so that it is only accelerating and slowing down? Same examle can be found from the clip above with the place holders and texts.
Thank you for your help. If there is same kind of discussion going on please let me know. I could not find it.

All of what you want to do comes down to the fine art of learning how to magle curves in the graph editor, which is nothing you can learn from just watching totorials. You learn it by doing and collecting experience.

How to make shape objects clickable/selectable in transformgroups in java 3

I am building a visualizer program that has Java 3D components inside Swing components. I have a branchgroup inside a canvas3d inside a simpleuniverse, which is added to a JTabbedPane. Inside the branchgroup I have multiple transformgroups each with one shape in them (box, cone, sphere, cylinder). Each transformgroup has the ability to rotate, zoom, and tranlate objects because I have incorperated a MouseZoom, MouseRotate, and MouseTranslate object as from the Java 3D library functions (these are applied to each transformgroup every time one is created and added to the branchgroup). My problem is that I am trying to make these shapes clickable/sectable/dragable/dropable on the screen - currently when I try to translate ONE object all the shapes move on the screen and I cannot get just one shape to move (all shapes move when I only want one to). How do I make only one shape move when it is clicked?
I know the question is kind of out there and specific so if anyone knows how to generically give transformgroups/shapes drag and drop properties that would also help a great deal. Does anyone know how to to this? Thanks a ton.

shape uses the contains and intersects methods, is that what you need? Without code it is hard to guess what is required.

How to make clips play faster/slower?

Hi, I recorded a road while driving on it. I want to use it for the beginning of a video but I don't want it to play at real-time speed. I want it to move faster than real time. How can I make this happen on imovie? how do I compress the clip (about 10 minutes) into something more like 5 minutes? I don't want to cut the clip, I want to play the whole thing but I want it to just move faster. It would also be cool because this way I could also learn to make things go in slow motion.

How can I make this happen on imovie?
If you want to do this from within iMovie, use the previous version. Basically, playback speed can be modified by adding your video to an audio clip having a duration or selected segment duration for which you want the video to play and scaling it to the duration of the audio using the QT Pro "Add to Selection & Scale" Edit menu option. You can also reset the playback using the fee JES Deinterlacer utility. (Search the forum for URL to Karsten Schlüter's site area where he has documented many common "Tips and Tricks" for use with iMovie '08.)

How to make shape rotation at it's center point?

I draw a shape,like follows:
var shape1:Shape;
shape1=draw();
addChild(shape1);
shape1.rotation=50;
private function draw():Shape{
   var shape:Shape = new Shape();
   shape.graphics.beginFill(0x00FFFF);
   shape.graphics.moveTo(200,200);
   shape.graphics.lineTo(300, 202);
   shape.graphics.lineTo(200, 204);
   shape.graphics.lineTo(100, 202);
   shape.graphics.lineTo(200, 200);
   return shape;
Then I want to rotate the shape at it's center point(200,202) by using shape1.rotation=50,but I find the shape don't rotate at the the center of it's shape. How to realize the function which make shape rotate at its center point?
Thanks

Here is a sample to make it rotate from center:
var sprite:Sprite=new Sprite();
sprite.graphics.lineStyle(3,0x00ff00);
sprite.graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF);
sprite.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
sprite.graphics.lineTo(100,0);
sprite.graphics.lineTo(100,100);
sprite.graphics.lineTo(0,100);
sprite.graphics.lineTo(0,0);
sprite.graphics.endFill();
var mc:Sprite=new Sprite();
mc.addChild(sprite);
//This will make the sprite to center
mc.getChildAt(0).x=-(mc.getChildAt(0).width/2);
mc.getChildAt(0).y=-(mc.getChildAt(0).height/2);
addChild(mc);
mc.x=200;
mc.y=300;
//Now it rotates from the center.
mc.rotation=20;

How to make smooth line movement?

Hello!
I've been searching it everywhere, but couldn't find anything in the net. I want to make smooth line movement. I've tried to create motion, but line just moves, and I want it to move smoothly according to the path. What I want to achieve can be seen here:
http://www.noartistname.com/demo/
But that's what I did so far - made movement out of several broken lines - how can I make more smooth movement?
Thanks,
Aleks.

the easiest for non-coders is to tween a mask of the full line. you can also use the flash drawing methods but that takes some coding. see:
www.kglad.com , click snippets, function graphs.

How I make my BLURS move in the video?

I want to know how I make "Blurs" move in the video. The image in the video has obviously movement and I need to put a Blur in some part and I want that blur keep moving along that clip go off.
???

In the Viewer check out the Motion Tab.
Place your blur where you want it in the frame. Double click it in the Timeline. This will open it in the Viewer. Go to the Motion Tab and then click the little Diamond shaped thing to the right of Center. This will place a Keyframe.
Move forward in your Timeline, adjusting the placement of your blur in the Canvas. This should add more keyframes as you reposition the blur.
That's really basic overview. Hope it helps!

How to make the background move over when a movie clip hits the edge

ok so the idea here is to make a page with written content on it. the conent will not be able to be seen unless the user hits the arrow keys on there key board. So i need to make a group of objects i can make into a movie clip and than inside that movie clip make an animation that plays the squirrel running. i will pause here to ask two things i dont know how to do i want the squirrel to have an animation when standing still where it flicks its tail (like a real squirrel would). and also how would i flip the squirrel so when the left key is pressed it points left and when the right arrow is pressed it faces left? and my main question when it reaches the edge of the stage the extended background that runs off stage moves over to reavel more content. as well as not have the squirrel run off stage? in short i am using the squirrel to view the full pages content.

You're asking for quite a bit and aren't likely to get anyone to hand you a detailed solution. Here's some things to think about.
As far as flicking the tail goes, that's something you'll have to work out as an animation. You could do it as a timeline animation and/or as a coded animation where you adjust the rotation and other properties of the tail.
Getting the object to face left and right ican be a simple matter of changing its xscale property from 1 to -1 depending on which way it normally faces (1).
If you don't have a problem making the squirrel move to the edge, then you should have no problem making the background move either. You just need to continually check the squirrel x property to know when it hits the edge. Personally, I would only move the background and leave the squirrel in the center.

How to make a car move with havok

Greetings.
I am a total beginner with havok. I want to make a car move
on a plane with havok. I managed so far to make the car and the
wheels Movable Rigid Bodies and the plane FixedRigidBody.So far the
car and the wheels drop down the plane and that`s all
. First i want to stick the wheels to the car and
make suspensions for each one separately. I have some demos with
this but i don`t know where to start from. Could you please give me
some tips?
Thank you in advance.

Perhaps you should start with something simpler, like moving
a block on
plane, then experimenting with dashpots.

How to make it to move

hey
here is a example that can draw 2 circles and 1 oval. I want to know how to make the second circle round with the first circle aloong oval.
thank you

The blue circle should be drawn as last element, using a loop. You just need to calculate the postion of the center. Quite easy if you use polar coordinates, since an ellipse equation is simply
x = a sin Alpha + xoffset
y = b cos Alpha + yoffset
where a and b are the semi-axis of the ellipse.
I have modified your vi accordingly. There is still some tunning to be done on the x and y offset, since the ellipse is not centered on the central circle.

How to make 2 balls move at the same time

I am working on an app in xcode and I need to make 2 balls move at the same time. When I try to use the same code for both of the balls, the 2 CGPoints interfere. Here is my code in the .m file.
@synthesize ball, ball2;
-(void) onTimer {
        ball.center = CGPointMake(ball.center.x+pos.x,ball.center.y+pos.y);
        if(ball.center.x > 295 || ball.center.x < 10)
            pos.x = -pos.x;
        if(ball.center.y > 435 || ball.center.y < 35)
            pos.y = -pos.y;
- (void) onTimer2 {
ball2.center = CGPointMake(ball2.center.x+pos.x,ball2.center.y+pos.y);
if(ball2.center.x > 295 || ball2.center.x < 10)
pos.x = -pos.x;
if(ball2.center.y > 435 || ball2.center.y < 35)
pos.y = -pos.y;
[self collision];
- (void)viewDidLoad
          [[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.04 target:self selector:@selector(onTimer) userInfo:nil repeats:YES] retain];
    [[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.04 target:self selector:@selector(onTimer2) userInfo:nil repeats:YES] retain];
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
Here is my .h file
@interface game : UIViewController {
    IBOutlet UIImageView *ball;
    IBOutlet UIImageView *ball2;
@property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIImageView *ball;
@property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIImageView *ball2;

What do you mean by the 2 CGPoints interfere?
You're changing the location of the balls by pos.x and pos.y, where is the code for those? what is it doing?
Why have two timers? One timer would work , just have the code move both balls.
The refresh rate for the screen is 60hz. (60 time a second) You'll get better animation if you stick as close to this value as you can.

How to make shapes appear behind page header/footer in Pages '09

In a Pages (v4.0.2) page layout document, I'm trying to make a gradient as the page background. Since there's no built-in way to do this (as far as my googling shows), I've tried what others have suggested:
1. Create a new shape and resize it so it fills the entire page
2. Go to Arrange > Send to Back
3. There's no step three!
This work great for most of the page. However, the page header and footer are always hidden by the shape, and I can't find a way to get them to lay +in front+ of the shape. How can I get the background shape behind the header & footer?
Thanks for your help,
Mike

How to make a trailer movie with own photo's

I am trying to make a trailer in IMovie. I have made a 'normal movie' and would like to add a trailer.
Probably a silly question, but where you get the grayed out frames with action, dog, 1 person 2 people, Landscape etc....
How do you add your photo to that frame.
I have converted the trailer - which is fine, and I can add photo'sto the trailer normally no problem, but what is the point of having the grayed out frames with action, pet , landscape etc. if you can't actually put a photo in the frame??
I've seen the trailer on Apple, and it looks good, but I can't seem to able to mimic it.
Thanks

You can only add video clips to the Trailer templates (called "animatics"). As you may have discovered, you can only insert still images when you convert the Trailer to a normal project.(File>Convert to Project).

How to make a downloadable movie?

How can I save a Quicktime movie (iMovie or Keynote) and make it automatically download like you can a PDF? Because of bandwidth considerations I don't want just have them watch it off the network but actually download it onto their computers...Thanks!

Because of bandwidth considerations I don't want just have them watch it off the network but actually download it onto their computers.
Believe you will find it takes the same "bandwidth" usage to either view or download a file from your server.
As to the "auto download" of a standalone movie, I don't believe you can force that. You can, however, allow FTP downloads of such files or allow the saving of cached files from either the browser player or the QT Player application if the viewer has QT Pro. You can also use/send QTL (QT Media Link) files which can do the same thing (i.e., they look/function like a standalone file but are actually a reference file linked to an uploaded movie).
