Matte with texture

Hello,
I did a tutorial, part of which involved placing a ramp found in Mac/Library/Applic support/Live Type/Images into my project and filling it with a texture using the matte.
My problem is, in the tutorial as well as in subsequent attempts of my own, when I extend the duration of the ramp in my timeline and render it, the animation of the texture in the ramp freezes after about 2 seconds. I'd like to have a 10 second clip with the texture moving normally inside the ramp.
thanks a lot for any advice,
mark

Mark, you just need to adjust the timing parameters of the matte. You can change the speed or you can loop to extend the duration of the matting texture.

  • Having an issue with textures.

    Hello!
    I have been having an issue with textures. and before I upgrade to 6, I thought I had better address this.. sorry to say still in PS3.. anyway, I have an action set called Quickmats and they have been working great in my wkflow for years.  One day they were gone, I reloaded and now the actions work ok for set ups, but the textures do not
    work, they all look the same.  The photoshop texture by default look similar... if I switch there to change it, it looks like hardly any change has happened.  can anyone explain this, or help out.  Much appreciated.

  • How to fill tabs with textures?

    Hi all,
    I wondering how to fill tabs with textures, just like in the "Personal Budget" template.
    I mean this:
    How could I replicate this nice effect? Please help!
    I already read the user manual but I won't be able to find a solution...

    One way is to open the template and select the table with the fill pattern.  Open the table inspector
    highlight the Image fill cell (in the "Cell Background" section).  Copy.
    Now open the application Preview in the Applications folder.  Select the menu item "File > New From Clipboard" to create a new document with the image you copied.  Now save the image as a pdf using the menu item "File > Save..."
    Save it with a name you can remember in a location of your choice.
    Now select a table in some other Numbers document and set the table background to the image you just saved by using the Table Inspctor:

  • Livetype problem with textures

    OK..so I have figured out Livetype...what a great tool! But the problem is no matter what texture I apply, when I bring the title into FCE the background does not appear. Only the text and effects I have added to the text...but just a black background.

    In LiveType, is 'Render Background' checked or unchecked in the project properties?

  • What is the matter with the framerate on Tiger?

    I have dual 2.7 and plenty of Ram and this thing and have 10.4.2 installed. iChat AV is supposed to give me 30 fps at least in video preview. I don't mind the videochats, it is due to bandwidth limits, but in video preview, there is no bandwidth, still I don't get 30 fps video. The picture is definitely around 15 fps, it's not smooth like 30 fps. When I try to record video in iMovie, it's the same. Never 30 fps. Is this about Tiger? I never used iSight with Panther. Or is it about quicktime 7? What's the matter with this?

    Here are a couple of ideas, iBug.
    iSight will not deliver the full 30 fps frame rate without adequate light. See the Improving Your iSight Picture FAQ for more on this.
    QuickTime, a good 10.4.2 Combo Update, and several other common issues can contribute to problems. If you have not already seen this, try Help for iChat AV 3 Problems for trouble shooting suggestions and some things you can try.

    I have been interested in computers for a long time. My husband and I had one of the first TRS-80 computers from Radio Shack, and we would have likely followed the Windows path, except a blessed event intervened and our interest in computers was sidetracked by raising
    a toddler.
    I had my first experience with a Mac (a Performa 630 CD) in December of 1994. Our 7-year-old son was using Macs at school, and was as interested in computers as we were. We had been out of the game for a long while by this time, so thought it was wise to buy a computer one of the three of us (7-year-old Zach) could use.
    I thought, "Well, by next year, I'll learn enough to do the income taxes on it." In January, I saw Zach playing around with Quicken, and I saw how easy it would be to do our taxes with it. I had them done faster than I'd ever managed it before.
    I guess that's my big first impression.
    I told Zach he'd be sorry about wanting a Mac because I knew the gaming thing was on the horizon. Sure enough, when he hit his teens, all his friends were gaming on Windows boxes, and he now uses XP. He is in his second year of college, a Computer Science major, and he and his dorm-mates have Vista available as a free download on the college server. Not one of them has installed it. I don't see how Microsoft thinks they can sell it if they can't give it away.
    I tried Windows 98 and Windows XP, and my reaction was "Why on earth am I banging my head against THIS wall, when my Mac does everything I want to do?" And back I went to my Mac.
    With Intel processors and Parallels and Boot Camp, Zachary may come back to the fold. His next computer may be a Mac.

  • Problems with textures in games, strange info in BIOS etc. G4MX440

    specs:
    athlon 1700+
    G4MX440
    power supply:
    3,3V 20A
    5V 30A
    problems:  ?(
     1) in "Black&White" and "No one lives forever" i get strange problems with textures - it shows everything at the same time  (ie what's behind a wall), it all blinks. (isn't that connected with Z-buffer??)
     2) the MSI program i've installed gives me warnings that the voltage in the graphics card or the fan speed has changed. In BIOS i can see the statistics:
    ie "4,89v" (it changes every 2 seconds) next to a "5v"
    I've read some of the threads, and i think that you'll say it's the power supply, but what else could it be? i'd like to try all the other things before changing (buying a new) power supply. The drivers are newest, and games like: Medal of Honor, Morrowind, Wolfenstein, Quake III run great.
                                      rg

    rg,
    You are running an NV17 which is not has power hungry as the NV25.
    I would try using the latest nVidia Detonator4 Drivers from the nVidia Website.
    Good Luck,
    Richard

  • Illustrations for print with texture-cymk or rgb

    Hi all
    I wonder if any one has any thoughts on the best way to workflow this sort of thing.
    Print Illustration,
    Starting with a vector illustration in cymk (Illustrator).
    We then want to grunge it up with photographic textures (taking into Photoshop) but obviously still want to control colours.
    I have tried keeping it all CYMK in photoshop.. gets bulky though and not as spontaneous.
    I have also just converted to RGB and tweaked from there.
    A good scientific discussion would be great
    anyone? thx

    Thanks John. That job has gone but will definitely try this technique next time.
    They are all things I have not done before. Thanks muchly
    p
    Actually I just tried it. To save as a 'embedded CYMK' the only way I get this option is to save as a photoshop PDF. Is this the go?
    It seems to work fine. Great in-fact..I don't usually send Pdfs. I could convert it to something else (jpeg) from here but it will be sent to the printers as a pdf I suppose so why should I, right?

  • MacBook and Air have Glossy Screens. Will Apple cancel Matte with the Pro?

    When the new MacBook Pro comes out, you think Apple will only release it in Glossy Screen, or still provide it's users with the choice to go Matte?
    How many people here who have the current MacBook Pro have either the Matte or Glossy MacBook Pro?
    I along with all my other colleges are anti-glossy screen, we work in bright environments and it is extremely hard to almost impossible to work with glare.
    Saeid.

    Because the MacBook Pro is one of Apple's 'professional' products I think the matte screen will always be an option as Glossy screens can make it hard for those in creative fields to match correct colours etc..

  • Help with Textures, Element 3D and Photoshop CS6

    Hello,
    I thought this was the best place to ask my question due to the Photoshop details...
    I am using Element 3D with CS6.  I downloaded a model that was in 3DS Max format, so imported it into Photoshop and exported it as a .OBJ file so element could read it.
    The model shows up in Element but when i go to apply the textures they do not work.  I tried different file types from Photoshop (.jpeg & .png) but none are opened in Element.
    Does anybody know why this is happening?
    For easy access, i would like to stay within the Creative suite to do this type of work.  It seems Photoshop CS6 has been updated enough for 3D that it should work.  I realize Blender might be a better option but learning another program is a lot of work.  So if I could ask for Photoshop specific responses (unless Photoshop just can not do this properly) I would would appreciate it!
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.  As you can see, I am pretty green when it comes to 3D.  I opened the model in Photoshop and it looked as it should be.  I then went to "export 3D layer" and exported the model as a .obj for Element to read.  Photoshop then displays a dialogue asking what format you want the exported texture files in.  This is where I tried original, jpeg and png.  None show up in Element.
    Is there another step I am missing in Photoshop to prepare or export the textures?  My model is RGB 8bit in Photoshop.
    I have heard of textures being "baked" which would solve the texture issue but is know is not good for resolution.  I mainly do video but am looking to add some graphic elements in my work.  Being able to download models and incorporate them is all I am really after.  Nothing crazy and I hope I can accomplish this without needing to become a 3D wizard.
    Thanks for your help!
