Image disappears after effect in HTML5

Hi
I am using Captivate 7.0.1.237.
I have set up my project as follows:
Slide 1:
1. I have an image that has an effect of Left to Right. When the project is launched, the effect is paused using an adv. action. Got a variable, say Var_1, in an adv. action to pause it: On enter, if the variable is 0, then pause.)
2. I have a button to generate a random number. This number is assigned as the new value of Var_1.
Slide 2:
Have an On Enter adv. action: If the value of Var_1 is "n", then pause.
Though I have not explicitly mentioned, the project moves to next slide if the Var_1 value is not "n".
Now, this is working fine in SWF output. However, in the HTML5 output, when the value is "n", the slide pauses but the image disappears after the animation effect.
Any idea why?
Thanks in advance.

The current frame number when the action runs and when slide pauses as per the actions is same in both SWF asnd HTML5 outputs. Here are the screenshots. The yellow colored object is the one that has the effect. 181 is the frame number.
SWF Output
HTML5 Output. Notice the yellow object missing
I noticed one interesting difference in starting frame of SWF and HTML5 outputs. When I launch the preview the SWF (using F12), the current frame number is 0, whereas the first frame in HTML5 preview (using F11) is 1. I am not sure if that has got anything to do with the issue I am facing.

Bridge default opens images in After Effects.

I am working in Bridge CS 5 (4.0.5.11) on a Mac Pro OS X 10.6.8. I am trying to open files (jpg, psd, bmps) in Photoshop CS 5 and the default is set to PS but Bridge is opening the images in After Effects. Where or how do I reset the default for files to open in Photoshop and not After Effects? When I right-click on the image the default is set to PS but still opening in AE.
Thanks for the help.

I forgot to do so and had to recreate from scratch.
Downside from resetting prefs is indeed you loose some settings, I always recreate them from scratch and have done so often in the past that I almost can dream this. Plus side is in this way you will learn more about Bridge and its prefs and will become more used to it. Maybe even discovering things you never new of
I rely heavily on the folder panel and have only 4 main folders in the favorites that I also don't use very often. The folder panel gives you so much more overview and options, you should give it a try.
Anyway, glad it worked out for you :-0

Opacity of photoshop images in after effects

When I import a photoshop image into after effects, the image always has less opacity than the video. You can see through it.
I have tried every adjustmen or effect I can find to increase the opacity but nothing works. The photshop image is 100% opacity.
I have tried importing as a comp too. Can anyone tell me how to get still images into after effects so that you cant see through them? thanks John

...which means that you need to begin at the beginning. AE is NOT the kind of application that lets you jump into the deep end of the pool. Your experiences with something as simple as importing a Photoshop document, and the confusion you encountered, are blindingly-clear testimony to that simple fact.
You really owe it to yourself to take advantage of the free training materials for beginners found here:

“Hi Kirby, thanks a lot for your answer.
I got one answer, from DMoore, saying:
“Try Safe boot and then restart with only Aperture open. Still doent work write back with more details like Ram, HD capacity/free space. Are these thumbnails or Previews? Have you turned off building previews in AP preferances?
Safe boot http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
Starting up into Safe Mode does several things:
1 It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
2 It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
3 In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
4 It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
5 It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
6 It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
7 Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.”
As I don’t know much about the technical aspects of computers, I don’t really understand the first answer, and it sounds like following it might produce unwanted changes.
But I understand your questions, so I’ll try to answer them;
"loading from any Project" means that I encounter the problem when I’m using a project, possibly after/because I’ve left the Mac on overnight, and/or I’ve made a lot of adjustments, and, once the problem is there, it happens in any other project which I open – the images load then disappear.
I can see images in the Browser, so it only happens in the Viewer(s).
I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by: “If you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector, does it show you all of your Images?”. I am a newcomer to Aperture, so I don’t know what some of the buttons are for yet, but when I want to look at and adjust my pictures, I import them, as referenced images, then Aperture creates a folder/project in the Library. When I click on that Project (when it’s working properly), all the images appear in the Browser or the Viewers – without me needing to “select Photos from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector”. I selected it and looked at all the items in the dropdown menu, but none of them seems to offer the option to ‘show all the images’. So I’m not sure how to answer your question except to say that – yes, I can see all the pictures in the Browser or the Viewers (when it’s working properly), but I don’t seem to need to use the Photos button to achieve this.
Did Aperture work before?
Yes it worked ok for a while, but I only purchased it on 24th May.
If I understand correctly, the difference between thumbnail and preview is that the thumbnail is what I see when the “Loading” wheel is turning, and the disappearance of this wheel after a few seconds means that I am now looking at the preview (also, the thumbnail cannot be adjusted).
So I think the problem occurs when the thumbnail has finished loading; the viewer going blank/grey might mean that it is not showing the preview.
But I have not changed the default Preview settings in Aperture Preferences.
My macbookpro details:
2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3
Hard Drive capacity 499.25 GB
Available 387.36 GB
I have noticed another problem: I cannot apply the same rating to multiple images: following the instructions, I select a group of contiguous (or non- contiguous) images, choose a selection eg “5stars” using the keyboard, but the stars only appear in the last selected image – even though all the images are still showing as selected.”
I hope this helps you to understand more.
Thank you for trying to help me.

Help! Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects. I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow. Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time. I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!
Exactly what I want can be found at 5:27 of this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150247563700519&set=vb.120583801339638&type=2&theat er

Jagged Edges on Raster Images in After Effects/Encore

I've been working on a project that uses movie files made in After Effects and then brought into Encore to create a DVD. The problem I'm having is jagged edges appearing on raster photo images - things like people's chins especially look jagged. All looks ok on my monitor/computer, but once I watch it on my flat screen TV I get these jagged edges. I've tried transcoding Progressive in Encore but that didn't help.
Someone please help me!!!

Yes, it's MPEG compression, and no, there is no "flip a switch" magic cure. Probably what happens is:
- you are not suitably color correcting your image, resulting in oversaturationthat's bad for compression
- you have thin lines and only slightly angled edges on the photos
- you are not using motion blur
- you have overcranked our TV's colors
- the TV does some image processing/ scaling/ frame rate coversion
These ad a million other things will conribute to percception of poor video, but as I said, geerally there is no simple solution here. Compression isunavoidabl, but there are of course ways to improve the results. You should do a little reading up on this. O the AE side you may improved by choosing suitabe renderr settings, using a tiny bit of blur, enabling motion blur, chnaging the motion of the items, adjusting their colors - whichever works. Again, no geeral recipe here. Good compression is a art we all have had to learn over the years ad the best advise can't replace persoal experience.

Vector Images in After Effects

I'm trying to figure out the workflow on some motion info graphics for a documentary film.
In Flash I created a 2D animation using a layered Illustrator file. It looks very crisp and sharp when I exported it to quicktime to put into Premiere.
Then I created the same thing in After Effects to see what the process was like comparatively for this type of graphic.
The thing that strikes me is the After Effects video doesn't look as crisp as the Flash animation even though they are both HD 1080p. The lines are more pixelated in the After Effects. I just looks blurrier.
Is that because After Effects rasterizes those graphics and Flash does not?
The main reason I am considering using After Effects is it is obviously a more robust program and I might need some its features. It also might be easier for the editor, who is more versed in AE to adjust the animations and because it roundtrips easier from Premiere, but I don't want to use it if the animations are not going to look at crisp.
I'd appreciate hearing suggestions or thoughts on this.

Thank you Rick. I turned on CR for all the layers. I'm going to post a screen grab of what I'm talking about. I exported both videos in the same compression and both were made for HD 1080p in their settings. I exported the AE in animation codec to get the best quality. Here are the screen grabs from the exported videos in Quicktime. I would love to be able to have as crisp a picture in AE because I think I may be able to do more with it in the long run and it's more of a film industry standard.
If anyone can direct me as to what I'm doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated, but I think you can see the difference I'm talking about and why the Flash image is more desirable.

Image disappears after cropping

After all adjustments are made, then crop image-use command to crop-image disappears. I have a blank image in navigator cropped and no image. Does anybody have an answer. PS3 was working fine last night. I woke the mac up and this starts happening.

This really helps. My resize was set to 8x10 pixels instead of inches. Then it kept defaulting to pixels when I would type any number in the box. To solve that problem you need to click on Window and select Info from the dropdown box. Then you have to click on the little arrow in the upper right hand corner of the Info box and select Info Panel Options. Then you can change the default to "inches". There must be an easier way to do that but I'm not sure what it is.

Images disappear after being selected from galleries

I created an app in Project Siena that serves as a product catalog for our Remote Sales team to use on their tablets. The app relies heavily on image galleries for navigation. Everything works fine, except that as you navigate back and forth
through the app pages, images that have been previously selected start disappearing from their gallery upon returning to their page. Anyone seen this happen before?

Hi Bruton, thanks for the quick response. I'll try and break this down as simply as possible:
-Built on Excel tables containing links to images. The images are located in a mapped network drive that is synced offline.
-All images appear fine at first as you navigate through the app; then, as you go back to the Index page and go back through the same pages, you start to see previously selected images disappear from the gallery. All the other images show up fine in
the gallery. Only the ones that have been selected previously disappear. If you close that app and re-open it, voila, all images display without issue.
-This same phenomena occurs while running the app in Project Siena; when the images start disappearing, I will update the data sources, and voila, the missing images come back.
-There are four basic pages that each contain an image gallery: Index, Brand, Group, and Product
-You drill down by selecting a brand, then a product Group, then an individual product (hence the 4 pages)
-Note: some "brands" that are chosen take you directly to the Product page, bypassing the Group page
-The image galleries on each page are used for the navigation (drilling-down to next level)
-When you tap an image from the gallery, you launch the next page... below is the navigation code for the image gallery on the Brands page. (I used "UpdateIf" function w/ 1=1 so it's always true, because I wasn't sure how to use other "Update"
functions.)
UpdateIf(CollectedGroup, 1=1, {Groups: Group_Gallery!Selected!Groups, GroupImage:Group_Gallery!Selected!GroupImage, BRAND: Group_Gallery!Selected!BRAND}); If(LookUp(ProductTable, Products in CollectedGroup!Groups, Products) = ThisItem!Groups, If(IsEmpty(CollectedProduct),
Collect(CollectedProduct, Group_Gallery!Selected), UpdateIf(CollectedProduct, 1=1, {Products: Group_Gallery!Selected!Groups, ProductImage: Group_Gallery!Selected!GroupImage, BRAND: Group_Gallery!Selected!BRAND, Groups: Group_Gallery!Selected!Groups})), If(IsEmpty(CollectedGroup),
Collect(CollectedGroup, Group_Gallery!Selected), UpdateIf(CollectedGroup, 1=1, {Groups: Group_Gallery!Selected!Groups, GroupImage: Group_Gallery!Selected!GroupImage, BRAND: Group_Gallery!Selected!BRAND}))); If(LookUp(ProductTable, Products in CollectedGroup!Groups,
Products) = ThisItem!Groups, Navigate(Product_Page, ScreenTransition!UnCover, {BackScreen:"Brands_Page"}), Navigate(Groups_Page, ScreenTransition!UnCover, {BackScreen:"Brands_Page"}))
Here is the navigation script for the Groups page gallery:
Clear(CollectedProduct); If(IsEmpty(CollectedProduct), Collect(CollectedProduct, Group_Gallery_1!Selected), UpdateIf(CollectedProduct, 1=1, {Products: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!Products, ProductImage: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!ProductImage, BRAND: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!BRAND,
Groups: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!Groups, GroupImage: Group_Gallery_1!Selected!ProductImage})); Navigate(Product_Page, ScreenTransition!UnCover, {BackScreen:"Groups_Page"})
Data script for the gallery on the Groups page:
Filter(ProductTable, Groups in CollectedGroup!Groups)

Is it possible to apply a stroke effect to a Photoshop image in After Effects?

Hello,
I've imported an image (a maze) from Photoshop into AE, and I want the image to appear as if it's being drawn in using the Stroke animation. Is it possible to apply some kind of path along which the image can "fill in"--similar to how you can do this with text? I didn't see a way to convert the image into a shape layer on which I could apply the Stroke effect, either.
Thanks to everyone who's been so helpful in these forums--I've gotten a lot of questions answered by y'all!
meredith

Followed everything you said up until using the solid as a track matte, where I got a little confused.
The effect worked more or less how I wanted when I set the starting value of the stroke at 100% and set track matte of my original image to Alpha Inverted. When I did this, it gave the effect that the solid was disappearing to reveal the original image, if that makes any sense.
Is there anyway to adjust the brush shape? Right now it is a circle, is it possible to change it into a square? The circle brush gives an awkward edge line as the lines of the image begin to appear with the stroke effect.
Thanks!

Desktop images disappeared after upgrade to 10.4.7

I upgraded from 10.4.4 to 10.4.7 using the Combo download available on apple.com. (Every time I tried to download the upgrade through Sofware Update, it kept timing out.) The upgrade fixed the Mac Help app, which was not working.
After installing the upgrade, the Apple-supplied photos I had selected to use as my desktop have disappeared. It's back to the default blue screen. In the Desktop and Screen Saver System Preference pane, the choices are there but are grayed out and not selectable. The Screen Saver works just fine.
I've considered reinstalling 10.4.4 then doing the upgrade to 10.4.7 right after, but I don't know if that will even work. I'd like to have desktop images available, but have already spent several hours trying to figure this out. Any ideas?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2GB RAM, Dual 2.3 Mhz

After installing the upgrade, the Apple-supplied
photos I had selected to use as my desktop have
disappeared. It's back to the default blue screen. In
the Desktop and Screen Saver System Preference pane,
the choices are there but are grayed out and not
selectable. The Screen Saver works just fine.
I just checked it again, and in fact, the Desktop photos are not even grayed out. They aren't there. I click on the left pane to view "Nature" images, but the folders appear empty.
I tried to find the actual folder files on my HD, not sure where they are.
Any ideas?

How to trace an image in After Effects

Hi
I was just wondering if it was possible to have an image (such as an eye) being traced into Ae.
I want the eyelids and eyelashes but do not want the eye itself.
Any suggestions on the most practical way of creating an eye?
Masking? Photoshop?
Cheers

Photoshop would work. Make sure you create LAYERS for the individual pieces of the eye you want to reveal. It's also good to make it bigger than you think you'd need. Then import it as a comp into AE, and reveal the parts you want revealed using animated masks.

Images disappear after each restart...?

...but the sound remains (though, sometimes not!) I wonder why my images in the timeline are visually still there but, when I launch the project to be played, every once in a while an erro's board means that media are offline... Why is that, please and I will I correct that situation?
UdeUin (Claude)

Thanks for the screen-caps. From the G-Spot screen, it appears that you have Imported VOB's, or at least from VOB's.
What VOB's letters stand for?
Maybe! ; my daughter did it 5 months ago (the import) and she's not sure the way she used - It was directly from the camera to the computer by the usb cable I think, and, only the images downloaded at that time were sill available... Actually, these files are stocked in a folder as .mov. Is this ok?
These are MPEG-2 files, and can cause some issues. However, it also appears that you have Imported them, so I'm going to take a guess here: when you did the Import, did you do so FROM the DVD's, or did you copy over the various VOB files to your computer, and then Import from there?
Not from a dvd, directly from the camera...
I would suspect the first. If that is the case, there is probably a bit of confusion on what Import does. It does NOT copy the source files at all. It only links to the location where the source files WERE, when you Imported them. If you did the Import FROM the DVD's, they will need to be in the drive(s), for PrPro to work with them. If you did this from several, there will be more work to do, to get things working properly. If this is your case, we'll talk more about what you'll want to do.
The files are all the same type and in the same folder...
If you did copy the VOB files FROM the DVD's onto your system, there could be other problems with why PrPro is seeing them as Offline. If this is the case, we'll talk more about how to try and fixt that too.
I will say that working with VOB's and the MPEG-2 files that they can contain is probably not the best workflow. However, you seem to be well into your Project, based on the Timeline screen-cap. If they have been working so far, we won't get into other ways of doing it. Just know that there are better workflows for the next Project.
Good luck, and let me know the process that you used to get your VOB files onto your computer and into PrPro. Each method will require some different techniques.
Hunt
PS MPEG-2's Imported from VOB's CAN often cause Audio problems. Let's get the Media Offline issue solved first, and then we'll work on the Audio issues.
It's correct!
Claude
I do hope giving you some answer providing you the cue in order to find the good way to resolve the whole thing... Thank you very much!

How to create a hotspot on a video or image in After Effects?

Hello, I'd like to create a hotspot on my video. During this video, I have a icon popup and I'd like it (when clicked) to go to a website.
Thanks

YouTube offer authoring tools in the video manager. Dunno about Facebook since I'm not there. Normal web pages require a suitable video player like jwPlayer to do any of this. Either way, your problem cannot be resolved in AE or any other video app. You have considerable gaps in your knowledge about web techniques and need to read up on that.
