I recently updated to Flash 8 pro.I'm having a wiered
problem.First I was having problem applying masking.I applied a
masking effect in a movie clip and when view the movie instead of
showing the effect it shows my masking shape that is a
rectangle.When i move the play head in the movie it shows me the
effect, im trying to achieve but when I hit ctrl+enter to test the
movie, it does not work.Then another thing was I tried to apply a
Fade in effect and even that does not work.Any suggestion would be
appreciated.As im having these problems in the player, so I assume
there is something wrong with the player.I have Flash Player 9
installed.I unistalled and re installed a new copy,Still did'nt
help. I am

Hi,
Are you sure that you set your Mask layer to a Mask? Double
click the icon int he right of the Layer name and set the Layer
type to a mask.
And regarding the Fade, I guess you may miss some thing, let
me know the steps you have done to create your Fade effect?
hope this helps

[svn:fx-trunk] 10229: Fixes for some transform effects problems.

Fixes for some transform effects problems.
- We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
- A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
- A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

Mask effect not showing up

I created a simple mask effect using CS3 Pro on WIn XP. When
I run the animation in Flash, the effect works perfectly but when I
publish an SWF file, the mask effect does not appear. Strangely
enough, I sent the FLA file to someone who has the same version of
Flash as me. He opened up the file, published an SWF and his mask
effect worked fine. Am I missing something here???

It sounds to me like you are not uploading all the files. The navigation for example needs the feed.xml file.
What FTP application are you using to upload?
Putting effects like drop shadows and frames increases the page file size and slows download.
Its better to take a screenshot of the image and replace the original with this JPEG. See...

How to create a wave-like masking effect?

If you look at the first 3 seconds of the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPYWy97pfc0
the logo is slowly reveal with a wave like masking effect, how do you do that in after effect?

Use an animaged shape or mask as a track matte for the logo.

How do you make a motion tween, mask effect and shape tween, with a flash website?

More of less, I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.

It's not clear what you are after since you start talking about separate pages for the three things, and then ask about how best to put them together. If they are going to be separate they can't be together.
If your intention is to have these three things in one Flash file, ut as separate parts of it, then I would have each within a symbol and have each symbol within the same scene (I don't use multiple scenes).

Timing the mask effect

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to use the Mask effect to cover up a list of attendees at my webinar I do not want to appear. The section of the screen I want to obscure is motionless and appears and disappears at a few portions in the video. I am able to insert a mask and pixelate a part of the screen but am not able to time it. There seem to be no controls to time an effect, when it appears and disappears. Can Premiere Pro do this?
Peter

You keyframe the properties of the effect (not the mask) to full (or whatever) when the mask is needed and 0 if its not needed.

Keyframe shape mask effects?

Can you keyframe shape mask effects?
I'm trying to keyframe a simple shape mask effecting the outside area: -86 exposure to 0 exposure, meaning that first, inside the mask all is seen, while outside llittle is seen, then move to 0 exposure where all is seen. But clicking keyframes next to shape mask (below Color Correction 1) doesn't work. I input -86, click keyframe then move to where I want and input 0, but that's how the whole clip appears with no gradation changes.
Any suggestions?

I created some animatable masks (keyframeable on-screen control points). It's three keying effects: a single 4 point mask (like the one that comes with FCPX), a two 4 point set (essentially an 8-point), and a four 4 point set (essentially a 16-point.)
Please watch the video for best use guides. Most of the time, layering on 2 or more single 4 point mask shapes is quite addequte to do most of your masking needs.

Adobe After Effects - Masking Help/Problem!?

I will try and explain this clearly...
I am making a jump effect, so I am making myself jump.
I masked myself, clicked in the transform tab "rotation" and "position"
and then I moved myself up into the sky. Except, it didn't look right, because the size was too big when I made . So I tried clicking on each keyframe I had made, selected the mask, and made it smaller. Except, instead of changing the size on each keyframe, it just changes the size of the mask altogether! So if I go back to the beginning of the scene, the mask is too small, I take it to the original size again, but the size is then too big for when I fly into the sky.
So each keyframe I have made (of me jumping higher into the sky), I want the mask to get smaller.
Thanks
P.S. Please don't mention rotoscoping, its not what I'm after for. I just want to decrease the size of my mask, in each keyframe, so every keyframe the mask gets a little bit smaller.

> Please don't mention rotoscoping, its not what I'm after for. I just

Despite what you said, I'm going to mention rotoscoping. The basic skills of rotoscoping involve knowing how to change and animate the shapes of masks, so the question that you're asking is best answered by pointing you to instructions that apply to rotoscoping.
If you want to scale and transform an entire mask, but have the change only apply to one keyframe, make sure that just one Mask Path keyframe is selected, and then free-transform the whole mask path.

Premiere Pro Effect Mask Tracking problem

I love this new feature, when you just choose the elpise o square and blur out the licence plate for example
but how to apply multiple masks and how to delete the mask for example when you do not need it, if the subject you want to mask out moves..
now the mask is travelling around when the subject is out of frame and blurs other stuff that is not needed
i hope you understand what I want to know
so first
1. how to delete the mask at specific frame
2. how to change opacity of the mask to 0% after keyframe ( I created keyframe, changed the opacity to 0% but this then works for the whole clip not only after the keyframe)

I tried to play with opacity inside the mask, and setting ot to 100 % and to 0% but it changes all the clips
So you are saying I should try the opacity settings that is above the blur opacity?
Yes for now I am dragging the last keyframe outside but it is just time consuming....
It took me like 2 hours to clean up easy car licence plate blur
I will play with opacity later and report how it goes

Mask effect offset for scaled or reframed footage.

I would not have expected this problem to still exist since it was noted in the previous version. I'll have to try the work around of using an adjustment layer mentioned here Adobe SpeedGrade CC - Mask follows tracking, but effects within mask do not.
Please let me know if there is a fix I missed.
Thanks,
Rob

Adobe has known about this issue since the beginning of CC, and they have yet to address it. Until they do, Speedgrade is pretty useless.

Copying shape layer shape to mask shape problems

Hello,
Sorry, super basic question I'm sure. I want to have text animate along a shape layer's shape (say for instance an elipse). If I copy the Elipse Path component and try to paste into a 'Mask' component of a text layer, nothing happens. Also I can't copy my Elipse shape into a Mask layer of a solid either. However I can a Mask Path to a Shape path without a problem. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Aidan

The After Effects CC (12.2) update makes creating Bezier paths easier and more obvious.
option for creating shape layers based on Bezier paths:
When a shape tool (Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Polygon, Star, or Ellipse tool) is active, you can use the new Bezier Path option in the Tools panel to create a new shape based on a Bezier path, as opposed to the default of creating a new shape based on a parametric path. Holding the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key while drawing a shape causes the opposite behavior—i.e., if the Bezier Path option is enabled, holding the Alt or Option key causes the shape tool to create a parametric path; if the Bezier Path option is disabled, holding the Alt or Option key causes the shape tool to create a Bezier path.
command for converting a parametric shape layer path to a Bezier path:
You can convert a parametric path to a Bezier path after the parametric path has already been created by context-clicking (right-clicking or Control-clicking on Mac OS) the property group for the parametric path (e.g., Rectangle Path 1) and choosing the Convert To Bezier Path command from the context menu. If the parametric path is animated (keyframed), the converted Bezier path is a static path based on the parametric path at the current time; keyframes are lost.
IMPORTANT: When you use the Convert To Bezier Path command to convert a parametric shape path to a Bezier shape path, the Bezier path that is created does not animate well (i.e., interpolation between paths behaves strangely and unpredictably). This is related to path direction and how transformations are stored. For now, you should not use these converted paths for animated paths (interpolation between paths); but, if you do want to try, you may be able to work around the issues by reversing the path before conversion.

Adobe After Effects Problems

I edited a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 with no problems. After I exported it, I checked the movie in Windows media player to make sure everything was okay. In Windows Media Player, the movie played well with audio and video. After that, I imported it into Adobe After Effects. The Movie is 1280x720 60fps. However, after I did a RAM preview of the clip, there was still no audio. I doubled checked the clip outside of After Effects and it played with audio just fine. Is there something wrong with the way I originally exported it or is it a software error? Also, when I imported the movie into After Effects, it played in Slow-motion after RAM preview instead of playing in regular motion. Can someone please help? Thanks.

I think that you're clicking the wrong button and not, in fact, using RAM preview. The Play button in the Preview panel does not start a RAM preview.
See this page for how to do a RAM preview. Pay special attention to the icons that illustrate what buttons to click.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Effects Problem - HELP

I use Adobe Premiere Elements 11, and when I use effects the footage ends up speeding up, repeating itself, and just not staying the same as it originally was. Does this have to do with what type of footage it is. I am using screen-captures that I got when using Bandicam. If anyone could help me with this problem, it would be greatly appriciated, thanks.

Gamerwalk,
One option would be to convert your odd AVI-MPEG file to DV-AVI, which is what PrE loves most. This FAQ Entry will give you some tips on doing that: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
I use an older file conversion program, DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, but it is NOT freeware. Also, Deskshare, the publisher, has released newer versions.
Good luck,

Does a Clipping Mask effect just one layer?

Hello everyone ... Level: Newbie OS: Win7 64bit Ia: Cs6
Once I use a Clipping Mask on a layer is the entire document covered in a mask?
And/or is all the artwork from then on inside the mask?
I've read about how to add and how to remove art from a mask. I've read about how to make and release and lots of other things.
So, then I went and found a lesson that contained the use of a Clipping Mask.
But I'm stuck... again.
I am suppose to Select the main shape and "just" copy it and move it down (doesn't say rather to Paste in front or back but I assumed in back ~ not that it has mattered thus far)
However, while making the main shape I used Gradient Mesh and used an Offset to create a "replica" and so when I go to Select the main shape the mesh is selected and so when I Paste (in back ~ seems most logical) and then move it down the details such as the colors of the Gradient and other such things are visible in front ~ ??
So, I have been trying to abate my problem in lots of different ways.
I have tried using the Pen tool to draw behind the main shape, I've tried making a New Layer and placing it above and below and inbetween the main shape layer, I've tried adding the artwork to the Mask ... I've tried everything I can think of and I've been through many an article in the manual and FAQ's to no avail.
I suppose, what I think I need to know ... is, how ... how on earth do I draw behind this main shape? Am I not able to do it becuase I am not getting behind the Mask?
(Let me apologise to those that HATE it when Newbies follow lessons/tuts and who HATE it when we come here to ask for help. I'm doing my best to learn and to find answers on my own before heading here for help)
Please lmk if you would be better able to help me with pictures of my layers and the art. Thanx so much for your time!!

Thanks as well for your patience with me! It can be difficult to communicate this way, but all we can do is try our best.
As for the issue regarding the author's "main shape"...
Here I have an object with a gradient mesh:
If you follow the directions in step 3 of the tutorial, the author creates a duplicate by going to Object > Path > Offset Path.
And then inputs "0" for the offset value.
I shifted my original gradient-meshed object down a little bit, and there you can see is the simple shape that you were seeing in the author's image. Then they just filled it with that gold gradient and scaled it down.
And as for clipping masks...
As I mentioned before, a clipping mask will only affect the objects and groups you had selected when you created it. For exhaustive information about clipping masks, see this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/clipping-masks.html
I hope this was helpful! Good luck!
