Is Motion the program for me if I want to create motion infographics and kinetic typography?
Hello,
I am trying to master infographics and basic animations like these:

I know motion pretty well but run into issues when trying to make motion graphics. For example I don't find motion very good at making smooth natural movements with text and images I am trying to animate.
I am wondering if Aftereffects is a better program for what I am going for. Or is there another program out there for this kind of animation. I am about to start learning after effects but don't want to dive in if it will give me the same abilities as motion.
Thank you
Johnny

uhm, well ... the default setting is a very fast effect, 14f only.
changing parameters, eg a 14x loop can not be shown
so, step#1 to see how variations take effect is making that behavior longer.
step#2 - to pingpong the end condition you have to shift the last two keyframes longer to notice an effect,
hard to tell from remote ...
problem with 'canned' effects is:
- If you know what each template stands for, you're super fast,
- If you have some very specific, own 'behavior' in mind, the traditional, manual key-framing and transform/position method is probably faster. or 'more to the point'.
most KT I've seen so far are very basic movements - rushing in, rushing out, various rotations. done.
making it special by a) applying motion blurr, b) applying 'physics', as bouncing, 'gravity' acceleration, repelling objects etc.
... for instance, I wouldn't use that pre-canned peek-in in a KT ... I like the usage of typography and imaginative layout/combo of stylized graphics and few words much more than excessive 'movement'.
example
but, probably, that is a matter of age ....
the very British of Mr Fry alone fascinates me ... no need for bouncing letters
anotherr example, not exactly KT, but to illustrate my pov:

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?
Figured it out. Thanks.

Can individuals (students) purchase Adobe CC (one application or all) for just a portion of the year (i.e. a semester - 1 to 4 month span)? My students would like to purchase the program for a month at a time without making a yearly commitment.
Sure they can, just not for a student discount.

I get a message that itunes has stopped working. When I check out why it is because of the dep security on my computer. When I try to find the program for itunes for the .exe file i cannot find it to turn off the dep for that file
I found the file but when I added it to the list for the Data Execution Program to ignore , I received a message that the Program.x86/itunes file must have the DEP on in order to run. Anyone else having this problem ?

How to stop the program for a while?
Hi,
I've created a small prog that the only thing it does is to ask for a given password before granting access to certain data. It works fine on the WTK emulator (from Sun of course), but it crashes on a Nokia 6600 due to a bug in the Nokia's MIDP2.0 implementation. Now I need to trace/find the exact point of the program where it crashes (in the mobile phone - where the app gets closed). MY PROBLEM is that I need to insert into the program some kinda code that stops for a while the program saying "I am at the Nth step and running fine", but I can't stop the program from executing, because I can't find out how, I've tried the
display.setCurrent( someAlert );but it doesn't seem to stop the program like it would in an HTML JavaScript page. And:
Thread.currentThread().sleep( 2000 );doesn't stop for some reason the program either..
Can anyone give me a tip or a workaround of how I can temporarily stop the prog? Please helpTry putting the current thread to sleep right after setting the alert:
yourAlert.setTimeout(3000);
display.setCurrent(yourAlert);
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);

I ordered the bumper of the program for iPhone4.
I ordered the bumper of the program for iPhone4. But unfortunately I had a miss. So I want to cancel the order. The order number is WR004943772 and its tracking Number 9102923437001107462762.
This is a user to user help forum only - no one here can cancel your order.
If there is a tracking number, your order has shipped and after an order has shipped, it can't be cancelled. When your order is received, you can contact Apple about having it exchanged. -

I won Lightroom 1.0 as a door prize a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?
Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.

Hi, I accidently removed the program creative cloud from my computer, were can I find and download the program again?
Hi Hans-Günter,
Thank you for answering!
Unfortunatley I still can't find were I download the program. Following your suggested link I get to the window below.
When I click the "Creative Cloud" Icon it takes me to a new page.
On that page see below there are a lot of programs like Photoshop etc. but there is NO icon for Creative Cloud.
It looks the same when I log in. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

I have an active subscription but everytime I open the program it says trial expired. I have installed, reinstalled, and installed again. I have also installed the windows registry patch.
It wouldn't install for nearly 5 times I tried to do this. Now it's finally installed again but it won't budge past the trial version. I click BUY NOW but then it says "error you already have a subscription" then it times out and just stays on the Trial Expired page.Hey kushlar,
Please log out from your Adobe application and login again.
Once you launch Acrobat and get error saying trial expired, you will find an option saying 'license this software'.
Select this option and enter your credentials.
Now check and let me know.

I updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!
Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?
This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.
I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks
This may also help
