Layered animation in dps

Hello.
I asked my team to develop a short cover animation similar to red bulletin dps. basically to animate layered photos and embed short videos and put background music. whats the best program to use? can edge animate do all this stuff or do i need both premiere pro and edge animate? Thank you

Hi Alistair,
That is allready the case I'm afraid.

Edge animation in DPS: Always rasterized?

Hi, folks
I have been making my first very simple animation with typography in Adobe Edge Previev CS 6.1. Everything OK but... I start with illustrator files with SVG. When placed in InDesign (as *.oam file), uploaded (PDF format) with DPS and shown in Adobe Conten Viewer, it is rasterized.
I know that Overlays are in general rasterized but I had the (seemingly wrong?) idea that Edge animations were treated in a different way and that they were not always rasterized.
So, the question is: Is there anyway I could place an animation in DPS so that is not rasterized. I mean: Placed PDFs retain in DPS their vector quailities and they look gorgeous at any size. Is that not possible yet with animations? (Will it ever be in a near future?).
Thanks a lot

PS. I would like to thank you all in this forum. This place and its participants is a priceless resource to learn DPS.

This is a bug in Edge. This post in the Edge forums goes over it. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4287158

Hey guys,
Sorry about all the issues with SVG. This is a bug we're working on a fix for, thanks for bringing it up. It is indeed a huge pain since the whole point of SVG is to scale!

Smooth Edge Animations in DPS.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to smooth out the playing of Edge animations in DPS? My Edge animations play smooth as butter in any browser but stutter a little in DPS on the iPad-3. I know many have suggested not having such complex animations but that just limits the creativity and that's not what we are looking for.
Is there anything I can change in Edge to smooth the animation out?
I have tried playing with the Preloader settings, changing from "Immediate" (default) to "Polite" with no visible difference.
I have read that you can set off stage elements to "Off" from "Always On" but I don't get that one completely because eventually they all make there way on stage and if they are set to "Off" they don't show up when moved on stage.
I don't believe there is anything more than setting Edge animations to delay by 0.125 seconds in Indesign that affect Edge animations.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank,
Ryan.

Hi DPS friends...
Macquarie Group have a nice DPS app with simple animations on most articles giving the overall folio a nice lift. I'm wondering if anyone wants to say how these animations were done OR how best to do them? Are they best done as Edge Animations, Photoshop Animations or buttons with animated gifs??

I'm trying to place my edge animation in dps but I can't swipe over it to take me to the next page?

Hi, could anyone help with this?
I'm using an edge animation on the Samsung Galaxy and it won't allow me to swipe over to go to the next page. Does anyone have a solution to this, or can this not be done? Please advise.
Thanks

Hey Ross,
Another user had the same problem and came up with this workaround:
With regards to using it in DPS, it's not an ideal solution but I imported it as a web overlay rather than an html article and made it smaller than full page so there is a border around the edge on which the user can swipe to turn the page and tap to see menu options.

Embedding audio and animation into DPS using Edge Animate CC

Hello all,
I'm using all CC programs.
I've created an animation in Edge Animate that I would like to place into my InDesign doc for DPS.
The animations match up with sound file that I've imported into my EA file. I've tried using the buzz.js script (step-by-step as per the video tutorials I saw), but to no avail.
Is there a way to place/embed the animation along with the sound for DPS?
The animation will need to be simultaneously activated by the user to play.
Thank you very much in advanced for your help—hopefully there is a solution or some sort of work-around!

Would you be able to supply a link to your past messages? I'm not sure what messages you're talking about.
Also, I do not need an audio over an audio—just one that plays while an animation plays.
Would that be the same concept?
Thank you.

I can't swipe to next page after placing my edge animation in dps

I've created an animation in Edge and exported it as a .oam file. I've placed it into dps (full page size) and although it plays fine I'm no unable to swipe between pages.
Initially I thought instead of using the animation at the full page size I could use it smaller so I would be able to swipe the area outside of the animated object. My problem with this is that the background of the page is a coloured gradient and as I've not managed to export my animation with a transparent background I need to set the background up in Edge also. This leaves me with the problem of how to navigate to the next page?
Im new to Edge (as you can probably tell) so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Ross,
There's currently a bug when using DPS where the poster image won't clear from the composition and remains in the background when it plays in DPS. Does your animation automatically play? If so I have a workaround for you.
If you set your poster image to transparent, and your stage to transparent, the animation will play on a transparent background. Create a 1x1 transparent png and import it into your EA composition. In the publish settings, set this PNG file to be your poster image.
Also be sure to set your stage colour to 0% alpha.
Publish and you should be good to go.
As for not being able to swipe, Animate compositions import as "Web Overlays" which means overlay in the most literal sense; they are placed on top of your publication so any interactivity you have may interfere with the gestures of your publication as created in ID. You can opt to turn interactivity off in the web overlay panel in ID, though this might defeat the purpose of your placed composition. It sounds like in your case if you're able to get the transparent stage to work this might remedy some of the problems you were having.
HTH,

Why isn't a layered animation visible on top of a movie when you Preview in Browser?

I'm using the latest version of EA CC (2014)
Imported a video
Converted it into a symbol
Added a controller... plays fine on its timeline, or Preview in Browser
Then, I did the following...
Double-clicked the symbol of the video
Created an animation to play on top of it
Everything previews fine on the symbol's timeline
Here's the problem...
When I Preview in Browser, the video plays fine, but the animation that I layered on top, is not visible at all
Please advise, thanks.

Joe,
Almost there…
I added this and understand why… “Callout_01” now appears and plays:
// JB: Play the symbol
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").play();
I initially put this in because if you click the animation as it’s playing, it’ll bring you back to Home. Then, if you click “Button_02” again, the video will play from the beginning. If you take it out, it will not play from the beginning. I should have changed the comment to read 100% instead of 10%... my fault. Joe, since you questioned it, I replaced it with a shorter piece of code that accomplishes the same thing (see below).
// Skip a video track backward by 100% of its total duration
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").$("Vantage_FeedAssembly_Ani_02")[0].currentTime = sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").$("Vantage_FeedAssembly_Ani_02")[0].currentTime + ((-100/100) * sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").$("Vantage_FeedAssembly_Ani_02")[0].duration);
// EO: Replaced the above with this > Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").play(0);
I added these two after making the above changes. Because if you went back to Home and repeatedly clicked “Button02”, “Callout_01” would not show/play.
// EO: Show an element
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").$("Callout_01").show();
// EO: Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").getSymbol("Callout_01").play(0);
Here’s the end of the puzzle, almost there… Previewing in browser, you click “Button02”, “Ani_02” starts to play. However, before “Callout_01” appears (at 55 sec mark), you click the Pause Button on the Controller. After a short pause (let’s say 3 sec), you click the Play Button on the Controller. As the video continues to play, you’ll notice that the Pause Button on the Controller had no effect on “Callout_01” to also stop playing… it will appear prematurely however long the pause was.
Apologize for being so wordy, but it’s the only way I can describe what is/is not happening.

Multiple layered animation effects in HTML 5 not working

I created an animation with 2 effects layered on top of each other so an object would from move from position A to B while a second effect scaled the object to reduce in size at the same time. This was just a matter of setting up the two effects in the same space on the animation time line.
When I output to HTML 5 I only get the motion animation from A to B but not the scale at the same time.
Are there any known issues with HTML 5 supporting layered multiple animation effects in Captivate 6?
Best, Steve

You did use an Effect that is not yet supported for HTML5. The only supported effects are these:
Entrance
- Fly-in (all)
- Ease-in (all)
Exit
- Fly-out (all)
- Ease-out (all)
Motion Path
- Left-to-Right
- Left-to-Right Ease
- Pentagon
- Rectangle
- Right-to-left easeRight-to-left3point
- RightToLeft
- Triangle
- ZigZag

Turning a layered animation into movie clip

I am a flash newbie so this may be a retarded question. I am
trying to turn a multilayered Flash animation into a movieclip
symbol. I have shapes on different layers that are shape tweened
and many shape hints that go with them. When I go to create a new
symbol and paste my frames the shape hints don't end up in the same
place as the shapes. Is there a way to keep the shapes and hints
together as I copy and paste frames? Is there an easier way to turn
this into a movieclip in the fist place?

Layering animations when triggered

I have a series of animations in my edge project where each one when triggered positions over the other animations. Im having an issue where the layering system is not allowing me dictate when an animation is triggered it always sits on the very top layer so it doesn't get obstructed by any other content in the project. Is it possible to add some code that works on the basis of z-index, so when ever an triggered animation is running it always is on the top layer so it doesn't get covered by the other animations when overlapping. Or is it a case of creating completely separate animation files? - please help.

Welcome to the forums!
You can set animations to start after another animation with a delay, so yes, can produce the effects you want. In the Build Inspector, such timings are accessed via the vaguely-named "More Options" button, which reveals the Build Order pane where such timings are specified.

HTML animation in DPS?

Hello,
I have a problem with an .html file that I've created for one of my folios.
I've put the files on our webserver and it works without problems in my Safari browser, also on my iPhone there are no problems.
Here's the link http://www.crasborn.nl/headers/tandwiel/index.html
When I insert this link into my article (Overlay Creator panel > Webcontent) it works fine to.
But when I insert it as a file, it does not show the background images. You only see a thin border, but not the image.
Can you tell me why this doesn't work? I want it to play even when it's viewed without an internet connection.
I've inserted a screenshot of the animations as seen on my iPad 3.

How do I place a text frame/ botton over Edge Animation in DPS

As I said in the title, how do I do that?
Thank you!

You can make MSO from your text (same for button).
Select text frame and create MSO. You will get MSO with 2 states, each state contains the thext frame. Select this MSO and set AUTO PLAY in Overlay Creator/Slideshow window. Then arrange the MSO on top of Edge animation.
Please let know if it works.

Layering Animations in Keynote..Is it possible

I am wondering if it is possible to layer animations. For example, if I have an animation coming in, I can only have the next animation come in at the same time, or after, or delayed after.
Can you have the second animation come in during the first. So if I have a 2.0 second flame in animation, can I have the next animation start .5 seconds into the first animation.
Let me know if possible, or if i need to get some add on software.
Thanks

Quality issues when importing still images as frames for animation

hello,
i've imported roughly 600 hand-drawn and scanned (600 dpi) images as frames for video. the images themselves are really crisp and perfectly how i want them to appear. i've imported each to play for 2 frames then move to the next. once done, i save this video file as an .avi. i then repeat the process in order to layer the video (using Calculations filter) over and over again, to fill up the screen with overlapped, layered animations. in theory, these layers should all remain crisp, just like the scanned images. i was under the impression that the standard Export... > Movie... .avi file is essentially lossless and is best for editing, however when my process is completed, the final product is muddy, grainy, and pixelated. i'm not sure where i am going wrong, as i've actually done this process before with success.
is there a way to specific the working file as "high definition" or something similar so that the quality is just as crisp as the scanned images i am using as source
any help is appreciated - i am completely self taught in video editing and it is really bugging me that the file output is not how i envisioned.
thanks,
DB

I note you specified that the images were 600 dpi. The dot per inch are an issue only for printing a hardcopy. For video work, the issue is the pixel dimensions and the pixel aspect ratio. If your image is 600 pixels by 400 pixels with a PAR =1.0. If your sequence is 1440 x 1080 with a pixel ratio ratio of 1.33, then the images must be the same and PrPro must scale up the image. You can get good images from imported stills in PrPro. I prefer to rescale my images using Photoshop. I am told that the scaling algorithm in PrPro has been improved. But regardless, if you are scaling up, you will see degradation becauae Prpro has to interpolate between pixels to fill the video frame.
