Key Framing all Layers at once

Hello. I have Motion 2 and am curious if there is a way to add a Key Frame to every asset/layers all at once?
I have 14 Layers with 5-6 assets as a group in each Layer, but I am turning the first 6 seconds into a DVD menu and need to set a key frame at 6 seconds that way i dont screw up anything that I change before that.
thanks!

Again, scripting is not necessary to overcomplicate the issue.  If you have a layer group with 8 layers inside that you want to hide, you just hide the group itself. Thats the eye icon on the group.
If you have other layers inside the goup, that you do not want to hide, then put these 8 into a sub-group. Any masking issues can also be sorted out using a sub-group. Thats what groups are FOR.

  • How do i move all layers at once in my GIF

    hi, I have recently switched to adobe fireworks, and its
    really confusing to me. I was wondering how to move all layers at
    one time in my animated GIF. I like moving each frame individually
    and it is taking a LONG long long time! In image ready, it was a
    lot easier for me, in this I cannot seem to figure it out.
    Also how do i move all layers at once onto another image?
    Thanks

    after calling this
    JComboBox CB = new JComboBox();
    CB.addItem("Jan");
    CB.addItem("Feb");
    CB.removeAllItems();
    do this
    CB=null;
    now when u want to add again
    do this
    CB=new JComboBox();
    CB.addItem("bla bla ..");

  • Is there a way to select all layers at once?

    I have a bunch of layers, WITHOUT holding down control and clicking each one, one by one, is there a button or shortcut to just auto highlight all the layers, Im trying to move them around evenly together on the canvase at once.
    Thanks

    You can also Select all Layers by clicking on the top, or the bottom, then holding down Shift and clicking on the other (top, or bottom). That will Select the Background, but as Conroy points out, it cannot be Moved, so you might not want to use that, depending on what your next operation will be.
    If you do wish to perform certain operations, including the Background Layer, you can first Dbl-click on it, and convert it to a "regular" Layer.
    Good luck,

  • Can I close all layers? or even better, stop illustrator from opening all layers when I open a file?

    I just installed cs6, and when I open files in Illustrator, it opens all of the layers which contain sublayers.  It does this even if all the top-level layers were closed during the previous save.  The files I work with have a large layer-structure, so re-closing the top-level layers every time I open a file wastes a lot of my time.  Can I close all layers at once, or better yet, can I stop Illustrator from opening all of the layers automatically when I load a file?
    If not, then WHY on earth not?  I can't be the only one who opens and closes large files with lots of layers and sub-layers...
    Thanks for your help.
    Edit: I also am noticing this problem is even worse in cs6, because openning and closing individual layers plays a little animation of rotating the triangular arrow before the layer which, cute as it may be, just makes the task of individually closing up all my layers that much more tedious.  Can I turn off that little animation of the triangular arrow when opening and closing layers?

    You can save it as a pdf and when you open that in AI the layers will not be opened even if they have sublayers.
    Not true. Does the same nonsense an .AI file does. Saved as a .PDF, closed Layers/subgroups get opened.
    And no one cares!
    I do. Every other Adobe program with a layering sceme seems to be able to remember that you saved a file with all layers and subs closed. But not this one.
    Maybe someone from the AI development team should ask someone from the Photoshop team how they've managed it.....for decades.

  • Hide all layers

    Hello,
    I generated layers hide event using listner.
    But I need to hide all layers at once. Is it possible without looping ?
    void playEventHide()
         PIActionDescriptor desc = NULL;
         error = sPSActionDescriptor->Make(&desc);
        PIActionList   mylist = NULL;
        error = sPSActionList->Make(&mylist);
        PIActionReference ref = NULL;
        error = sPSActionReference->Make(&ref);
        error = sPSActionReference->PutName(ref, classLayer, "mytest2");
        error = sPSActionReference->PutName(ref, classLayer, "Layer 1 copy 3");
        error = sPSActionList->PutReference(mylist, ref);
        error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutList(desc, keyNull, mylist);
         error = sPSActionControl->Play(&result, eventHide, desc, plugInDialogSilent);

    I do not follow your description and the link does not seem to work.
    Could you explain a bit more detailed what the Action is supposed to achieve?
    Still if you just want to hide all layers something like this might suffice:
    // 2010, use at your own risk;
    #target photoshop
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
      hideLayers(app.activeDocument);
    ////// function to hide all pixel-layers //////
    function hideLayers (theParent) {
    if (!allLayers) {var allLayers = new Array}
    else {};
    for (var m = theParent.layers.length - 1; m >= 0;m--) {
    var theLayer = theParent.layers[m];
    // apply the function to layersets;
        if (theLayer.typename == "ArtLayer") {
            theLayer.visible = false;
            allLayers.push(theLayer)
        else {
          allLayers = allLayers.concat(hideLayers(theLayer))
      return allLayers

  • Layers problem in PS cs5 extended, all layers change at once, including background layer.

    layers problem in PS cs5 extended, when working in a layer, all layers changes at once i.e size, cropping, smart object etc. even the background layer changes...it is really annoying, please help, My system windows 7 64 bit  4gb ram.  It is not grouped, deleted preferences, usually work in rgb/ 8 bit channel - have same problem with all new projects.

    Hi
    Problem with layers is when I use the crop tool in a layer out of 20, all of them get croped at once including a locked backgound layer.
    When I use smart object in a layer to size down image with transform tool, guess what happens to all the layers in project? all behave odd, changes same as the layer being sized down. If I work images or layers in separate files, once I bring them over to my workspace, all get affected without maintaining their own individuality. This happens with every new project. I think colors are not affecting layers. Layers are not grouped, I do not know anything about linking layers. This problem is stopping me from using photoshop. Please help!!!   
    I had previously a problem with a photoshop bug (GPU sniffer), which I was able to resolve it with reintalling the graphics video card with the help of HP technical support, I am able now to work with repousse however with same video card.
    Let me know if you need me to give you more details.

  • Key framed slider widgets "jump" all over the place.

    I am really struggling, and losing credibility at work with the time this is taking, to get consistent results key framing slider widgets.
    I have a slider widget to which I have set up and defined parameter states for multiple tags. For simplicity say I have:
    - three tags at 0, 50 and 100.
    - range min and max set to 0 to 100
    - interpolation linear for all three tags.
    I then set a key frame for that slider widget:
    - set first keyframe a frame one, adjust slider to the first tag at zero.
    - go to another frame and move slider to the middle point at 50. This action sets a keyframe but I notice that the 0 tag is still highlighted in blue.
    - I go to yet another frame, and adjust the slider to 100. The tag at the 0 point is still showing in blue.
    Now play over the range containing the key frames.
    Does it cycle through the three defined tag snap shots?
    No.
    Am I pulling my hair out?
    Yes.
    Anyone have any guidance to help spare people the site of seeing me bald. :-)
    Thanks,
    Wayne
    Portland

    Any ideas on this?
    I think I might have made my presentation too complicated. Here is another shot at it.
    - I defined a slider widget with three tags and on the order of five parameters assigned to it for a shape which will function as a button.
    -  I set each of the tags to linear interpolation.
    - I select each tag and set my parameters as desired (snap shots)
    - I set my range for the tags to zero to two, one for each tag.
         * tag at zero, opacity of shape is zero.
         * tag at one - opacity 100% and outline of shape is medium grey.
         * tag at two - opacity 75% and outline gets a treatment of blue border and larger width.
    - I then key frame the slider to move between the values of zero and two and I do not get the behaviors defined above for the color and width of the shape outline. I do notice that there is a gold capital R within a goldish square to the left of the opacity parameter in the inspector for the slider widget. It is not there for the parameters for the shape outline width and color.
    What I notice as I step through frames is that the opacity parameter seems to be working but the color of a shape does not change. The first tag is still blue (highlighted) which is the color that the shape is staying at.
    I think Motion is highly finicky, buggy and too idiosyncratic. I started a new project from scratch and made just one button. It worked. Then I modified the color at one of the. But this broke the animation. It’s like all of the tweened key frame around the tag were as before but just around the modified tag it behaved per the new modification. So the animation “jumped”.
    I deleted the tags and started over leaving the keyframes in place. Now it works.
    Crazy if I have to redo a hugely complex project. I’m hoping I’m missing something basic that someone can enlighten me to.
    Thanks in advance for any guidance offered.

  • Trimming multi-layers at once? Add effect to many layers at once?

    I know I've seen this in the manual, but I am lost today...
    Multi-layers in a sequence with different end points. I want to highlight all of them and have them trim to a common spot on the timeline. How to?
    Also, can I highlight a group of layers and a apply an effect to the ends of all of them at the same time? Ex: Four layers on top of each other all end at once. I want to add a dissolve to the ends of all of them in one move. Can it be done?
    Thanx!

    mark i/o on timeline and press delete key to delete auto-selected layers. press command key while selecting end points then place transition on all selected points just like you would do for one selected point or nest sequence and trim/roll/apply transition to end of nested sequence.

  • I just Draw a shape in Geometry and key framing and everything is good ,bu

    I just Draw a shape in Geometry and key framing and everything is good ,but as soon as I get to the secondary for set the changes everything will change !The shape will automatically change its place to couple pixel up and to the right ! my footage is in 2K red and was shot by Red Camera . I really don`t know what is the problem , any helps ?

    Howdy,
    This is a really good question about one of the bigger challenges of building a 3D project. When you add objects to the Canvas (including drawing), they get added in the camera's viewspace, facing the camera and sharing the same up-vector (i.e. positive Y is up). This is all well and good, but what about doing what you ask, where you want to add an object in the localspace of another object? Let's look at your example: adding a shape that is coplanar to a photo, with the camera not necessarily aligned with the photo.
    As Mark suggested, you can draw the shape in the camera's viewspace and then drag-and-drop the Position and Rotation channels from the photo onto the shape. This will replace the shape's Position and Rotation values with that of the photo, making them coplanar and located in the same place. The shortcoming of this method is that you draw the shape at a size that seems correct in the Canvas, but once it's moved to the same place as the photo, it will often turn out to be too small or large. Then you have to make further tweaks.
    Another solution is to use the Isolate command. Isolate temporarily aligns the current view to the selected object and solos that object. So you could isolate the photo and then draw the shape in the Canvas and it will be coplanar with the photo. The only caveat is that the moment you finish drawing the shape, it will disappear. This is because the photo is still isolated (and soloed). As soon as you de-isolate the photo, everything will reappear.
    The easiest way to use Isolate for new photos—not ones already in the project—is to place the photo in a 3D group, position the group where you want the photo and shape to be, then isolate the group and add anything you want to it (shapes, image, text, etc).

  • Is there a way to create multiple map tile layers at once?

    Hello experts,
    I have a small problem. It's mainly a matter of saving some time. I need to create 51 map tile layers in mapviewer, and I would like to this this at one time. I can go to the admin console-->Management-->Manage Map Tile Layers-->Create, and then I can create one at a time. But it really would be nice to create them all at once!
    I tried using the XML mode interface, and I can use the following code to create one map tile layer:
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
    <map_tile_server_admin_request>
      <create_map_tile_layer data_source="xxxx">
        <map_tile_layer
            name="FOUNDATION"
            http_header_expires="168"
            image_format="PNG">
          <internal_map_source base_map="FOUNDATION"/>
          <tile_storage root_path="/scratch/tilecache" />
          <coordinate_system
              srid="8265"
              minX="-180" maxX="180" minY="-90" maxY="90"/>
          <tile_image width="250" height="250" />
          <zoom_levels levels="10" min_scale="5000" max_scale="10000000">
          </zoom_levels>
        </map_tile_layer>
      </create_map_tile_layer>
    </map_tile_server_admin_request> And it creates one layer. But when I try this:
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
    <map_tile_server_admin_request>
      <create_map_tile_layer data_source="xxxx">
        <map_tile_layer

        </map_tile_layer>
      </create_map_tile_layer>
    </map_tile_server_admin_request>...it creates only the first map tile layer in my xml request.
    Is there any way to create multiple map tile layers at once?
    Thank you!
    John

    Michael,
    It looks like you are right! Thank you for your help.
    I still have a small concern. I looked at the documentation and it reads,
    "The configuration settings for a cache instance are stored in the USER_SDO_CACHED_MAPS metadata view. You should normally not manipulate this view directly, but should instead use the MapViewer administration tool, which uses this view to configure map cache instances."
    But, I tried inserting records into USER_SDO_CACHED_MAPS and it works, and I can't really see any reason not to directly insert records into this table, so...
    Perhaps that warning is there simply because potentially you could screw things up tinkering with the table directly.
    Cheers!

  • Animated Gif - States All Affected At Once

    I normally use Fireworks to make animated gifs, but recently (not sure what happened) all of my states have decided to combine or group together and I can no longer edit each state individually. If I move anything (symbols, layers, etc), then all states are affected by it. I noticed that when I have anything selected in one state, then all of the circles to the right of the delay time in the state menu are filled in at once. I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Help?

    I should add the following.
    To try again I create a new document and simply import the animated gif.  It's 38 states long. Before adding any other elements I enable "Show all states" and move the element downwards on the page. It moves. No problem. The loop plays in the new position.
    But, I don't really know where I want to position the gif until I add the other elements.
    So I disable "show all states", select State 1, select Layer 1 in Layers, and add the text and a png to layer 1. As expected, these additions appear only on state 1.
    I then enable "Show all states" ("multi-state editing is still enabled"), select the layer for the animated gif, and again click on the animated gif and move it. This time I see the ghost image of a later frame below and behind it.  When I play the loop the new position occurs only on frame 1 - otherwise, it's in the lower position in all other states.
    Is this is a bug in Fireworks CS6? I can move an object "globally" when no other objects are on the page but once I add some to state 1, moving an object in all states at once doesn't work. 
    During one iterration of this test the move occured in all frames but number 24! (what!?) Seriously, basically the same steps, I don't recall ever even going to state 24. But when I played the animation everything was in proper position except for 24.

  • CC file saved in cs6, won't open with all layers in both versions

    Hello there,
    I really hope you could help me.
    Recently i designed a scetch in illustrator CC and saved it as usual (without extra options).
    Yesterday i worked on this same file in illustrator CS6, which i found acting weird but not paying attention and i saved it again as usual in the same file.
    Today i wanted to work on it again in illustrator CS6, but there are missing layers and all the layers i made yesterday are grouped and are in clipping masks.
    The worst part is i'm missing my sketch i made in illustrator CC!
    I've tried to open the file in illustrator CC too but it shows exactly the same, no sketch and all layers grouped and in clipping masks.
    I now know i had to save the file in illustrator CC with the extra options for multiple versions of illustrator
    Could anybody help me?
    The only positive thing is you can see the sketch etc. i made earlier in the preview when you want to open the file in illustrator cs6, that is why i hope it is not really gone!

    When opening a new file with an old version (CC file with CS6 in your case) you always open the PDF part of the file. In this PDF almost everything is flattened. There are no live effects, brushes or stuff. When you then edit this file in the legacy version and save you alo effectively delete any live stuff that once was there in the AI part of the file.
    Please read this:
    http://rwillustrator.blogspot.de/2006/11/whats-in-file.html
    When you want to edit newer files in older versions you always have to downsave. And even then things might get flattened, depending on which version exactly you save down to which other version.
    So unless you have a backup of the old file, your content is lost.

  • How to Make all Layers Visible in Final Photo?

    Hello, I'm new at PS and CS5. While retouching a portrait, I've created 5 layers. When the eye is open on all layers in the layers palette the only layer that seems to be active is the one on top of the list. If I move a different layer to the top, then that layer is active and the others, even though marked active, are not visible in the actual photo. I tried merging all the layers and there was no difference. What am I missing? Thanks.

    If you're duplicating a layer to make changes, then you are duplicating all the pixels on that layer.  I don't know why a tutorial might suggest that, except perhaps to give you a point to go back to if something goes wrong.  It's important to note that such a layer, assuming you keep it at 100% opacity, will completely occlude all layers below it.
    A similar technique which builds upon lower layers and does involve all layers being visible is this:
    1.  Create a new, completely transparent layer.
    2.  Use tools such as Clone, Fill, Paint, etc. to draw on the transparent layer (setting them to sample from layer(s) below).
    In this fashion you can have the entire original image intact, yet create a derivative work that involves layers that have just the changes on them.
    Again, the key here is opacity.  If a layer is transparent (or partially transparent, or parts of it are transparent), you can see through it to information from layer(s) below.
    If a layer is 100% opaque and there are no "holes" erased in it or masked from it, then any layers underneath are not participating in the look of the image.  But they may still be there to provide you a handy reference for what the image looked like before changes, etc.
