Menu transition effects, Animations ?

does transition effects , animations etc come along with a theme ? or is it fp2 dependant alone ?
i mean, i have an fp2 device, 5730XM, but i cannot seem to get all of the transition effects Nseries phones have. Yes they are animated but not completel as it is in, for instance, N79. And yes i've turned on the theme effects.
Thanks

AFAIK stock nokia themes are locked to the firmware updates each phone recieves. Basically each single phone as a peculiar stock theme which it receives embedded in the firmware updates. For example, the 5800 NE has a special default theme which is different from the default theme of the 5800 XM. Now, it may be possible to make a theme using one of the various theme making software out there with theme animation effects. So basically you need to find such a software which supports those effects you are talking about.

DVD Menu Transition Effects

I have successfully created a motion graphic DVD menu in AE, which I have rendered to be authored in Encore. The theme is horror/thriller with thriller theme for the BG music. There are two(2) selecitons on the main menu:
Play Movie Bonus Features
When the user chooses Play Movie, I would like a transition effect leading to the main video to be played. And maybe a different transition effect when the user selects Bonus Features before getting into the submenu of bonus features.
Can anyone sugguest any resources (e.g., books, manuals, blogs, video resources, courses, etc.) that can provide a tutorial on how to perform the procedure(s) in AE and EN?
Your assistance would be highly appreciated.

The ones I am seeing are not for transitions specifically - quite a few bad links. And the ones I see may be for older versions.

Transition Effects on 5610 XpressMusic

I saw that Nokia 7210 Supernova and 6600 fold have the menu transition effects, and they're 40 series phones like my phone (5610), so is there any update for Nokia 5610 that includes the transition effects?

I liked that new transition effects on the much newer Series 40 6th Edition however, since it's a much newer release unlikely we will never see that added on the N5610 firmware.

N97 Transition Effect Problem

As you all know that the N97 user interface is not attractive due to the lack of the real transition effects, my 5800 have a nice iphone like transitions, but for the N97 the transition effect is very simple! Only some sliding menus and that’s it!! I wonder where is the screen orientation swivel effect we've seen in early N97 prototype videos? However, once I enable the transition effects on my N97 it will start to become unstable with crashes and it will affect some other programs like the photo gallery (will hang sometimes and gives low res pictures or just the whole program will go to the background while using the zoom button!) and the Web browser will start to display mid and large websites without images!!! I tried to reload the page so many times but only the text appears without any image! After trying so many times at last the page loaded successfully with all images but my happiness didn't last as I discovered that the phone turned off the transition effects automatically! When I went to the themes menu to check, it was turned on but actually it’s not working as the phone disabled it in order to load the web page! It happened to my three times since I updated my firmware last week (V 11)! I think this is because of the lack of enough RAM, I removed all the online widgets from the home screen (like facebook and accuweather) and just used contacts, programs, calendar, email, and music shortcuts which gave me additional 5 MB of free RAM and the phone felt more stable but still can’t handle the transition effects and proper Web pages display simultaneously! My 5800 handles web pages better and display all images even if the transition effects are turned on! I hope Nokia will fix these issues and gives us an option to disable the Widgets and Kinetic scrolling (Make the UI just like the 5800) in order to have more free RAM and enjoy full transition effects and proper Web Browsing with better stability just like the 5800.

Any updates on the effects? I wrote to Nokia support, I'm in Russia, they replied.
I have illustrated my question with the links to youtube where it is clearly visible how the UI rotates and other animation effects when opening the widgets.
My translation of the official reply:
"In firmware version 11 those effects do work! Try to resent the phone to the factory settings by typing: *#7780#, standard lock code is - 12345 or try to format the phone memory. Do your data and contacts back up using PC Suite . enter *#7370# (formats phone memory), enter the code 12345 the phone will resent. Then restore your back up."

Seamless transitioning or ADD transition effects for menus

My last production I tried to make a seamless transition between a menu selection and the feature. Encore seems to always want to dip (or jump) to black after a selection is made. Can a future version (2.0?) add some flexibility to make transitions in and out of menus? Look at any of the Hollywood-style DVDs now; they all have an animation or clip that melds with the menu and again once a choice has been made. Just a suggestion.
Ed Slonaker
El Pilon Productions

So you are saying what they do is possible in Encore? What I don't understand or have trouble agreeing with you both on here is the whole part that leads into and out of the menu. You are telling me that that is just part of the menu being a motion menu, but that the buttons just don't appear until a certain point in the motion menu, then they disappear when a button is selected to continue in the motion menu transition? Make sense? I know there is a VERY slight, but barely noticeable jitter or whatever you wanna call it between each of those points, but it is so slight that it is almost not recognizable.
But what it sounds like you are trying to say that they do to make that work, is that they are not using that intro video as a timeline, but as a motion menu without buttons that is technically just a video and once it is done playing through its loop it forwards itself on to an identical menu that just loops endlessly through the main menu until you select an option, then from there it transitions through yet another menu into whatever the next asset is? Is this right? If so, is that all possible in Encore?
Sorry if I sound ignorant and argumentative, I am not trying to be, this is just something I have been wanting to do but have not figured out how to with my previous attempts, and I thought it might just not be possible with consumer/prosumer level applications as opposed to pro-level DVD authoring that they do in Hollywood. Thank you guys for your help and input.
Edit: DUH! Man I am so stupid, ugh. What I was trying to say above is exactly what they do! You guys are TOTALLY CORRECT! Thank you for helping me with this, now my DVD's of the future will be MUCH BETTER! I don't know why I didn't even think of this before, sheesh. Anyway, I just watched through the Nemo DVD and saw that this is exactly how they do it. Thanks again! I apologize for so ignorantly disagreeing with you oh great ones! HA!

Keynote '09: 2 transition effects per slide initiated by 2 hyperlinks?

I want to do a flip book. So far it looks great.
I'm using forward and back hyperlinks to transition b/w slides.
Problem: I can only get one style of transition effects/slide, so when I flip back to a previous slide the flip animation looks like I'm flipping forward.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok... After more scouring, I found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2355380?start=0&tstart=0
Which had this part buried in it:
Remove the navigation (rip out the hyperlinks), set the presentation to run as a Normal Presentation, then Share>QuickTime>Fixed Timing. That's right, I said Fixed Timing. Turns out me and a lot of other people (and yes, some tier 1 support folk at Apple) misunderstood Fixed Timing. Fixed Timing lets a Normal presentation run with the audio and moves on to the next slide when the audio is finished - which is exactly what I wanted (the QuickTime controls automatically appear after the movie is rendered). Slide Duration is actually the delay between slides so set this to 1 second and Build Duration affects the timing of the Builds, but I also set this to 1 second since it was destined for web delivery (bandwidth!).
I struck thru the first part b/c that wasn't relevant to my issue, BUT... what WAS relevant was removing all of my carefully timed slide delay transitions, then using the above method. It worked flawlessly, as far as I can tell. It seems without documentation or help of any kind (that I could find) no one, even Apple support staff, knows what the true function of Fixed Timing is supposed to be. So hopefully, if someone else stumbles across this post, they'll be able to do the right thing, from the start and not waste hours with expensive or additional programs and work arounds.
Follow the above method and still get your timed HD quality Quicktime .mov.

Transition Effects Walkthrough?

Hello Forums:
I'm wondering how the transition effects on this website is done:
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/24841.html
How does the creator organize his layers and animation so that the site zooms out and zooms back in?
Thanks.
Christopher Xiao.

Try to make a few more transitional states in between with varying levels of opacity for each picture (and play with the State Delay time). Other than that, i don't think Fireworks has transitional effects for slideshows (i may be wrong).

Page transitions effects

I've looked around a lot, but I have not been able to find
any tutorial explicitly going over just how to design transition
effects between pages (i.e., the effect through which the Home page
loads, and how to smoothly dissapear its content when the viewer
clicks to go to a different page, and the same thing for all pages
basically).
I've learned the basics of motion and shape tweening, as well
as masking (using tweens), and some basic actionscript, however,
with various content on my pages it does not allow me to do a
mask/tween nor is it at all a practical solution for my specific
problem: again, I want the pages to load up and dissapear smoothly
with some sort of effect. I have set the pages up using labels.
Any input, or link to a descent tutorial on the subject would
be greatly appreciated.
Chuck

Thanks for the posting.
While they're pretty terse, the InDesign Help files are pretty clear about whether things can be exported or not.
For example:
"Movies and sound clips you add to a document can be played when the document is exported to Adobe PDF or SWF, or when you export the document to XML and repurpose the tags." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Page transitions display a decorative effect such as a dissolve or wipe when you’re turning pages in a document that is exported to SWF or PDF format. You can apply different transitions to different pages, or you can apply a single transition to all the pages. Page transitions are especially useful when you create a slideshow in PDF or SWF format." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Animation effects let you make objects move in your exported SWF files. For example, you can apply a motion preset to an image that makes it appear to fly in from the left side of the screen while shrinking and spinning. Use the following tools and panels to animate documents." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
But:
"When you export your InDesign document to FLA file format, you can open the file in Adobe Flash® CS5 Professional to edit the contents. Exporting to FLA in InDesign CS5 format replaces XFL export in InDesign CS4. Use the Flash authoring environment to edit or add video, audio, animation, and complex interactivity." (The last sentence says you should do those things in Flash Professional.)

[svn:fx-trunk] 9287: Fixes bug with shader-transition effects ( AnimateTransitionShader, Wipe, and CrossFade) when acting on targets that either have filters or are inside a hierarchy with filters .

Revision: 9287

Log Message:
Fixes bug with shader-transition effects (AnimateTransitionShader, Wipe, and CrossFade) when acting on targets that either have filters or are inside a hierarchy with filters. Fix was to capture the bitmap snapshot of the target without any of its own filters applied and to then use the ShaderFilter in conjunction with the target's filters during the animation.

Lots to be excited about. BUT...Just updated to 8.1 on one of my computers to test it out...
Sadly, the following issue is NOT fixed for me. Is it with new projects only? I haven't started a new project on 8.1 I've only opened an old project but the issue that I'm referring to which involves also a delay/freeze of anywhere from a few seconds to a MINUTE while the render bar goes from yellow to red and then back to yellow is still there. Boo.
On the list above...
Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
This issue is incredibly easy to replicate. I really do hope it gets fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Create two sequences with multiple short clips (the more clips the better)
2) Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled.
3) Add warp stabilizer to the clips in both sequences. Again, the more clips the longer the delay/freeze will be as the render bar goes from YELLOW to RED and then eventually back to YELLOW again.
4) Hit SAVE.
5) Now, toggle between sequences. You'll hit a short delay with a few clips stabilized and a LONG delay with lots stabilized. In my case this delay is around a full minute. The render bar will go from YELLOW to RED and then back to yellow...eventually.
6) Toggle back to the original sequence and the delay occurs again.
7) Once you've toggled between sequences and have gone through this delay, that's it, there is no longer a delay...UNTIL...(and here's the big kicker)...until the project is SAVED again. After that the issue returns when you toggle between sequences. Both saving manually and AUTOSAVING cause this issue. No way around it except not editing with GPU acceleration.
Not sure what the issue is...caching issue when saving maybe? Either way, it stinks and it's still there in 8.1. Big bummer.
Again, lots to be excited about with this release but I really was hopefully this specific issue was resolved.
Sigh.

N97's transition effects aren't as cool as 5800XM,...

even with theme effects turned on, i hardly see any transition effents on my N97 other than that animation while swiping on the standby screen. My friends cheaper 5800XM has better transition effects while opening and closing items. Why? Both use the same processor and have the same amount of RAM eh?
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs louder :-)

@nagendra, installed the sound wave theme from http://fsa.zedge.net/mobile-download/2-493960-281724/Sound_Wave.sis
Unfortunately, i don't have any transition effects other than the homescreen swipe animation available on every other theme.
Makes me think again, the N97 isn't capable of 5800xm like transition effects. It's not just about the theme in use, it's about the device in which it is being used as well. With the same hardware, the N97 cannot display 5800XM like animations even while using a 5800XM theme. What is this, another firmware incapability?
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs louder :-)

Do transition effects created as a layered Photoshop file transfer to FCP?

I can transfer my photoshop files to FCP but layers are stacked with loss of transition effects applied. Is there a way round this?

FCP is Final Cut Pro. I import the PSD files to an event in the library on
FCP as a PSD file. Tutorials suggest that FCP will retain many of the layer
features created in Photoshop, but recommend rasterizing. Rasterizing
however removes transition animations so the layers are left as they are -
as smart objects. On import to FCP the layers are stacked and without the
animation. Instead I am now working in Photoshop with keyframes, rendering
before adding clips to FCP. Helen

Disappearing transition effects

In new presentations one of the slide transition effects has disappeared from the drop down menu (Grid). When I copy paste a slide from an older presentation that does have Grid transition, it is back in the menu.
Anyone any ideas how this could have disappeared? I'm not sure exactly when this occurred but I'm pretty sure Grid was still there when I used Keynote v.3 for the first time after upgrading from v.2

Go to your preferences and turn on the obsolete transitions and builds.
We don't know why they are considered obsolete, but it lookks like Apple wanted to have only 25 in the list as a default. This will give you all the old ones.

Issues with interlacing (I think), menu transitions, and video quality

Please see this set of images (note: large image, may need to stretch browser window to see it without scaling artifacts):
http://www.karma-lab.com/images-pub/apple-q/interlacedmenu.jpg
I'm having issues that I think are related to interlacing in some way, but I'm at a loss as to what do about it.
This relates mainly to using Apple's DVDPlayer software for testing my build, but I also just tested it by burning a disc and using Apple's DVDPlayer, and the results are the same.
The problem is, that my menu transitions play back nicely in Apple's DVDPlayer when Video > Deinterlace is set to On, but the video footage looks crappy. If I turn Video > Deinterlace off, then the menu transitions look crappy, but the video footage looks clean. And when I test the disc on a DVD Set top box, it looks the same as the bottom set of pictures - the menus look good, but the video suffers.
My project is SD 4:3, 720 x 480.
The original video was mainly screen-capture footage, progressive, and the FCP sequence settings are Field Dominance: None.
The video was exported from FCP as QuickTime movies. They look great.
The video was brought into Compressor, and the "DVD Best Quality 120 minutes 4:3" preset was use to make m2v video for import into DVDSP4. In these presets, the field order is set to "auto" - which when applied to the clips sets itself to Progressive.
The finished m2v video looks great in QuickTime, and also in DVDSP in the simulator. But once the disc is built, it has the problems mentioned above.
The menus use a Motion background. I tried running it through Compressor and making sure that the field dominance was set to Progressive, just to see if that had any effect, but it didn't... I'm at a complete loss as to what to try next.
Is this just what happens with progressive video on a DVD? Do I need to somehow "interlace" my video before bringing it into DVDSP?

Trai_Forrester wrote:
Yes, you've probably edited and / or encoded your video incorrectly - easy to do. First of all, did you let your main source footage set the sequence settings (by dropping a clip in a freshly created new Sequence)?
I don't believe this works that way in FCP 5.14, which is what I'm still using for various reasons I won't bore anyone with.
However, if I control click on one of my video clips in a timeline in FCP, and choose "Item Properties > Format", it shows me that it is 29.97 fps, pixel aspect Square, Field Dominance none, and 822 x 622. This "strange size" is because it's all screen capture video, of a piece of computer software being demonstrated, and that is the size of the software's "window" - we captured at the native resolution of the software screen, so it is 1 pixel:1 pixel.
The sequence itself is then set to be 830 x 622 (4:3), Field Dominance None (among other settings).
Once exported, it is a QuickTime movie at 830 x 622, progressive.
From there, it is encoded using Compressor's "DVD Best Quality 120 Minutes - 4:3" preset, with Field Dominance in the MPEG-2 setting set to "Progressive", where it becomes the correct frame size and m2v format.
So yes...I don't see how I can do anything more to keep it Progressive...
What codec did you edit your motion menus in? Probably different than you source material - so the sequence settings shouldn't be the same.
The motion menus were part of a purchased set of templates. It comes as a QT movie asset. I encoded it to m2v myself using the same Compressor preset, which got rid of at least a weird color shift that was happening on transitions due to allowing DVDSP to create the m2v during the build - but I don't really know how to make sure that the motion menus are "progressive" - although if I import the m2v version of the clip into FCP and do Item Properties > Format, it tells me that it is Field Dominance: None - so perhaps they are.
Does anyone know if DVDSP's menu transitions are always interlaced?

Please add Image and Page Transition Effects/Widgets

Please add Image and Page Transition Effects/Widgets
Thanks

Hello,
You can try the following:-
1) Add a composition widget.
2) Add text frames to the triggers to create first level of menu.
3) To the target of trigger in first level, add another composition widget.
4) The triggers of this new composition will be the next level of menu.
5) You need to set the 'Show target' value to 'On rollover'
Hope this helps.

"Fall" or "Caída" transition effect

Hi,
First of all, I have the Spanish version of iWork 08. Before that, I had iWork 06, also in Spanish. In that version, there was a 3D effect called "Caída" (or "Fall" in English, i supose). On the 08 version of Keynote, that effect dissapeared, but there is a 2D effect called also "Caída". I have checked in the preferences the option for showing obsolete animations and, apparently, this problem is only on the Spanish translation.
My theory is this: In English, there are two differents effects that in the Spanish translation, they are both called "Caída". Since they have the same name, the transition selector shows only one of them (the 2D version in this case).
I think this because I have a presentation made with iWork 06 that uses the 3D version of "Caída" and when I open it with iWork 08 and play it, the transitino is shown perfectly... but if i change it to another, i can't select it again....
Is it possible that my problem is because this issue with translations conflicts?
Regards.

I forgot to mention that I found this similar thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6667490
Anyway, I did some tests and I found the following: If I examine the contents of the Keynote.app package, there is file, Contents/Resources/Animations/Bolt.sfxplugin/Contents/Resources/Spanish.lproj/L ocalizable.strings. If I change the line
"Fall FallBuild" = "Caída";
for
"Fall FallBuild" = "Caída3D";
The "Caída" 3D transition effect appears again in the inspector . The only bad thing is that the 2D "Caída" effect dissapears... the 2D "Caída" transition effect is the same effect that can be applied to objects and is called, again, "Caída". That effect is apparently translated in this file:
Contents/Frameworks/SFAnimation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Spanish.lproj/Loc alizable.strings
in the line
"Drop Bounce" = "Caída";
So, I don't know exactly what, but apparently there is an issue with this...
Regards.
