Making a moving/running backround

Hey guys, I am a beginner in Adobe After Effects, and I just finished my first intro for all my videos. However, my background just sits there. Is there any way to make the dots move like a conveyor belt moving towards the back?
here is my background
Thanks,
TsterT

Ok, here's a step in the right direction, but beware that
without a fundamental knowledge of after effects some of this may seem a bit complex:
Looking at what you've created, if I wanted to translate that to the type of animation that you want, I would first create a dot comp.  That's a comp that just has your source dots in it.  Could be done any number of ways: photoshop, illustrator, shape layers or masks inside of AE, whatever.  But these dots are laying flat, undistorted in any way.
Then I would take that comp into another comp, and to get the horizontal motion I would try the effect: stylize->motion tile.  Adjust the output width property so that your dots now tile horizontally, and you are able to animate the x-position for your dots comp.
Then I would put this animated dots comp into a 3rd, master comp, where I would first try something like a distort->mesh warp to get the shape you are after (play with the settings, grab the warp points on the stage and move them around...my thought is that the less rows and columns you have the cleaner the distortion will be).  I would also play with something like corner pin (this will create a different, but possibly interesting distortion), and I might even try the puppet tool to shape it, although the puppet tool needs to mature a little bit before it can cleanly and efficiently handle something like this.
In doing this, you will have your dots layer animating, and the distort will take care of the custom shape you want.  To get that reflection you may want to take that master comp into a FOURTH comp, duplicate it, set the y scale to a -100% (or whatever) and then try effect->transition->linear wipe and play with the settings in there to get that soft falloff.
This is not the only way it can be done, and it may not even work exactly as you'd like, but again if I were doing it, this is where I would start.
I hope that helps

    When my iBook got hot like that, I would take a break and let it cool down.

  • Making a moving bar

    I'd like to make a box move back and forth in a bar. I know this sounds vague, but I'll try to draw a picture:
    |                   [ ]                 |Now, I want that [ ] to move back and forth a varying speeds as I want to make a game where you have to try to press a button as it is in a specific area, kind of like this:
    |        [ ]   |    here    |           |So when the box passes through that area and the player presses a button, they will get a point. Now, my question is, how do I go about to making that? As of now, my idea is very inefficient but I'll explain it anyways.
    I'll make several images of this bar and box with the box in a different position each time. Then I'll make a loop with a timer and it'll go through to make the box go one way, switch to another loop and make it go the other way. When the player presses a button, it'll record what number the loop is at (like a for loop for example, and the counter) to determine if it's in the area or not. As the player consecutively hits the area, the timer's increments will be changed.
    Now, I assume there's a easier way, but I could be wrong. If there's another way to do this, could someone just explain how to do it? Thank you very much in advanced.

  • TS1368 Itunes is making my computer run high i cannot connect ot hte itunes store and itunes is frozen and will not do anything.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    Itunes is running high and I cannot connect ot the itunes store.  Itunes is useless right now.  Computer is not infected with anything.  Problem is itunes related not third party plug-ins.  help please.  Thanks!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • My downloads are making my computer run too slow - can I delete?

    Help! Call me stupid, or computer illiterate or whatever. But, I don't know what to do. All of my music is stored in ITunes. My computer is running really slow and I am running out of space. Can I delete my music without losing it? Will it still be held in my Itunes account? Thanks for the help

    You need some kind of backup. If you just delete it from your PC and keep it on your iPod, when you need to restore your iPod (and you will, at some point) your music will be lost.
    You'll either have to reburn CDs you own, or repurchase music from the iTunes store.
    You only get one download from iTunes:

  • Is Mavericks making your machine run slow?

    I downloaded Mavericks this afternoon and installed it on my iMac i7 24GB RAM Everything seems to be slow in transitions from one app to another and many apps stall for severeal minutes as if the processor is playing catch-up. Thoughts? Should I just reinstall the update?

    My iMac started running slower than normal with the 10.8.5 update.  Installed Mavericks today and it seems slower, to me as well.  I'm running a mid-2007 Intel iMac 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM, 320 GB HD.
    I know one day I will upgrade the hardware, in the meantime I shouldn't experience this kind of slowness.
    It also periodically stops recognizing my Harman Kardon USB speaker system, even though I set it in the Preferences.  I have to unplug the USB and then re-insert the cable.  My Cubase 7 doesn't recognize the speakers under Mavericks.  Everything was working fine under Mountain Lion, except the slowness at times starting up apps.  
    I think Mavericks killed my computer.  :-)

  • Mavericks is making my computer run slow

    Since I updated my Mavericks my computer is running slow. I have done all the tricks. I brought it into the mac store and they said I have 55% free memory but I get the spinning wheel of death when i try typing it takes forever. Programs dont open or they take forever. Never had this issue until I updated Mavericks. I can applejack, did the shift control option hold power and the option command-p-r hold power. repaired disks, cleaned out system caches, re-installed osx?? What is the next step. apple said "well it may just be mavericks sorry! You may just need to buy more memory even though it says you have plenty." I'll type a few words and the spinny wheel comes up and the words don't appear on the page until about 30 seconds later. Any tricks, advice etc. Tey told me to go to this website http://www.crucial.com  and to install two 4 gb in the slots instead of the 2 gb I have in each slot. For stroage, under about this mac it says i have 163.18 out of GB of 319.21 GB free.  Thank you so much

  • How to set IIS for Applet making it can run at any IE client.

    I made an applet with java. It works fine under JDK.
    After that, I made a web page with the applet embedded in.
    But it can only run on those client computers if the computers has installed JDK.
    Could you tell me how to set IIS so that my applet can run on all the client computers no matter whether they have JDK installed or not?

    It would have nothing to do with IIS. Your applet apparently requires a "newer" version of Java than what comes with the browser by default. So either make your applet comply with the lowest common denominator (no Swing classes, only AWT, for example), or require your clients to install the newer Java plugin.

  • DEBUG, Compile and run by making connection with Run Manager

    Can anybody tell me how the compile and run of the pl/sql package is done in SQL Developer? Will there be use of DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE?
    Why I am getting the "package name can not be started in the database, because it is not in the database connection manager" how to solve this problem
    Thank you
    Edited by: Higlander on Sep 22, 2010 12:30 PM

    You you compile and debug a plsql package, it runs as if you were just running it from a prompt. The advantage of debugging is that you can set breakpoints in your code. Once those breakpoints are reached, execution is paused and you can look at all (well most) of you variables. No need to dbms_output your variables.
    Never seen that error. What version are you using, and how your you initiating the debugger?

  • Making my javaprogram run anywhere

    Hi!
    I'm totally new to Java programming, and i just wrote a simple little program, accessing a database to retrieve some info with a query. I compiled it and it runs without trouble.
    Here comes the question: can i create an "executable" file from my .class file, so that I can copy it to a floppy and run it from any PC, without each time having to go to the DOS-prompt and type java <progam name>
    Thanks a bunch already!

    thanks for the reply.
    I have tried to make an executable jar file, but that
    doesnt seem to work.
    I have 1 .class file, "bank3.class".
    I created a manifest file, "manif.mf" which contains
    the following:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: bank3
    Name: bank3.class
    Java-Bean: False
    Remove everything except for "Main-Class: bank3". Make sure there is a blank line afterwards.
    When I doubleclick the jarfile in windows, it creates
    the file bank.ldb
    which seems to be a MS Access file, containing locking
    information for the database im using
    (i cant be sure of this, I cant access that file to
    check what it is.)
    But the actual program never runs.Is it a GUI? If not, you won't see anything, b/c jar files are by default executed with javaw and this runs the JVM without opening a DOS window.

  • Making a method run daily.

    Quick question. What syntax do you use to make a method run just once daily? Thanks

    Im not sure this is how i ment to do it, as i have not been taught anything like this. Can i show you my code as this is getting me really frustrated. 0.00026116 is the amount we are given as a credit charge.
    public class AccountBetter extends Account
    boolean a;
    double charge;
    double newbal;
    public boolean in_credit(){
    if (getBalance()>0.00)
    a = true;
    else
    {a = false;
    return a; }
    public void credit_charge()
    {if (getBalance()<0.00)
    {charge = getBalance() * -0.00026116;
    if (withdraw(charge)>getMinBalance()){
    setMinBalance(getMinBalance()-charge);
    withdraw(charge);
    public void transfer (AccountBetter from, double amount)
    from.withdraw(amount);
    deposit(amount);
    }And here is the output from the compiler that tests our code, you can see the bit it is failing me on.
    Account m = new AccountBetter()
    m.deposit(100.00);
    m.setMinBalance( -100.00 )
    Test: m.in_credit() -> OK : Balance: 100.0
    m.withdraw(110.00);
    Test: m.in_credit() -> OK : Balance: -10.0
    Account other = new AccountBetter()
    other.deposit(100.00);
    Test: m.transfer(other, 50.00) -> OK : Balance: 40.0
    m.withdraw(50.00);
    Test: m.credit_charge() -> Fail: Balance: -10.0052232 should be -10.0026116
    m = new AccountBetter()
    m.setMinBalance( -100.00 )
    m.withdraw(100.00);
    Test: m.credit_charge() -> OK : Balance: -100.026116
    -> OK : MinBalance: -100.026116

  • Making OAF pages run faster

    Hi
    When we run OAF pages using JDeveloper, the pages typically take upto 30 minutes to run.
    What are the various ways to improve the speed of the same?
    Thanks
    Ajay K. Garg

    Please go through this thread
    Re: JDeveloper Performance
    One thing that you can do to improve performance only by a fraction is to supress the log in output, nothing significant happens, 30 minutes would become 28 minutes at the max.
    Other than that, if this is remote developement then the only option is to have Tarantella(or similar tool).
    Thanks
