Motion 3 Presets not there?

I'm just starting to learn Motion, and have got the APTS book for it. First thing it asks me to do is
'From the Preset pop-up menu choose NTSC Broadcast SD. '
Trouble is, the only Preset I have is Custom. Where are the rest then? Hopefully this doesn't mean I need to reinstall FCS. Takes soo long.

Howdy,
Look at the sticky at the top of the forum (hint-hint).

HT5595 Reduce Motion option not available on iPhone 4

I have gone to Settings>General>Accessibility, but "Reduce Motion" is not there??

That's because the 4 doesn't support the motion effects that option reduces to begin with. There is nothing to reduce.

HT4623 I have been using my Iphone and sync my music from my computer. However, right now, I can't. Tried everything. None of the new songs on my computer will go on my phone. It goes thru all the motions as it should but the songs are not there.

I have been using IPHONE and sync my music from my computer. However, i can no longer do this. It all goes thru the same motions, but the newer songs i want to put on my phone are not there.

Please list what "tried everything" includes.

I just made the switch to mac. I am have installed all the new PS6 CC and bridge and I am now trying to add some presets to my ACR but when I search for the folder to place them it is not there. From what I researched it says it should be under camera library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings but I can only get to library/application support/adobe/ and then there are two different camera raw options I have checked both and there are not settings folder. If anyone can help me please thanks

Apple most likely has the same poor taste that Microsoft does when it come to defaults. Microsoft likes to hide things like settings, preset, folders etc from normal users think the dumb or something else. If Apple also hide things you will have to make some system setting changes that will allow Finder to do it job and find it for you.

3D motion preset

I'm curious about whether InDesign can handle 3D motion presets. I exported the "spiral-3D" preset from Flash CS5 and imported it into InDesign CS5. I applied it to an object and it didn't work. Can an object be rotated on the z-axis in InDesign? Can this be done without scripting?

i'd recommend the o'reilly books. there are quite a few and (disclaimer: i'm a technical reviewer for their flash: the missing manual) i've read several.
however, i learned actionscript via the adobe (well, back when i started macromedia) forums and experimenting. but i've read some of their java and ajax books, too.
actionscript 3 has a limited future. but then so does everything else. actionscript 3 will probably evolve into something else in 5 to 10 years.
but learning actionscript 3 won't be a waste. learning object-oriented programming (like as3) is not likely to go out of style in the next 10 years. so, what you learn with as3 oop, you can leverage with the next language you want to learn.
and right now, the big benefit of actionscript over everything else is that it's browser independent. nothing else even comes close to browser independence.
<rant>when i do an ajax or html5 project, i'm aggrevated that i have to do everything, at least, twice because different browsers interpret javascript/html5 differently. that (plus everyone has the flash plug-in), is a huge benefit that flash has over all other browser/plug-in interpreted programming languages.
the latest craze is html5 which is really a joke. it's like working with flash from 10 years ago it's so primitive. and you still need to use flash as backup because not all browsers can parse html5 to do the one thing it's supposed to be really good at doing: playing video.</rant>

Applying Motion Presets In Flash CC 2014

In previous versions of Flash i.e. CS6, when applying motion presets you could hold down Shift when you click the Apply button to have the motion preset stop at its current position. This no longer seems to be the case. Has this feature been removed, or is there a new way to do this?

Ok it is in the flyout portion of the motion presets menu. Not sure why they got rid of the hot key, and wish they would bring that back.

Motion presets

I created a motion preset of a 3D text animation that made the text swing back and forth like a gate with the hinge on the far left side. However, when I apply the motion preset to other text, the text moves to a new location and the text swings closer to the center than the far left side. Moving the text only creates a travel path that further complicates matters.
What am I doing wrong with the motion preset? How can I save something into a preset and apply it to other things and have the animation work the way it was designed?
Help would greatly reduce my stress and frustration.

Flash motion presets

I've been working with Flash CS3 for a little while, and just
noticed that in the newest release (CS4) they have motion presets
you can use - which I think is great! However, my employer is not
going to upgrade me to CS4 just for that! Does anyone know if
there's a way to use presets in CS3? Is there a site or anything
where you can grab some free preset animations? Has this ever been
done before CS4?
Thanks!

I have not seen anything for animation presets prior to CS4.
I know in CS3 they introduced the ability to copy and paste motion,
which is just one step down from having a preset. I believe you can
also save motion out to XML, but that is for use in Flex projects.
As for convincing your employer to upgrade you to CS4, there
are more than a few options that make a CS4 upgrade not only
tantalizing, but necessary (in my opinion), and well worth the
cost. For starters, the ability to work in 2.5D (that means 2D
planes in 3D space). The highly customizable object-based tween
model (key frame-less!!). These are just a couple of the basics,
each one independently worth the upgrade, and when you bundle them
together, it is an upgrade that is quite irresistible.

Motion Presets affecting Compressor

Ok, My issue started with new project presets not being available. After doing some research, I found this in the forums, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306528 , this link being named "Motion 3: Project presets missing". I also noticed that after the first time I tried to install my presets were there and after trying to export using compressor I found a new problem, compressor was crashing as it went to the compressor interface. And after going through the troubleshooting compressor guide, shown here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302845 , Compressor was fixed but motion didn't have presets. The ultimate goal here is to have the bundle work together, and have the ability to have and see project presets and use compressor to export. Please, someone save me. Is it really this hard? Also I do not want to wipe my system, It's fine if motion doesn't have presets, but it is something apple should fix! Paid money over here for software that, well to say the least, isn't working as it should.
Thanks

Howdy,
It is pretty evil, as each of those articles has you follow steps that will break the other app. Here's what you can do to fix both: follow the Compressor fix steps, but before you do Step 10 (the reinstall), delete the Motion application from the /Applications directory. This will combine the results of both of the articles, and the reinstall should fix both Compressor and Motion.

Motion 5 Not Launching Correctly

Purchased, for the first time, FCPx, Compressor 4 and Motion 5 from the Mac App Store. Both FCPx and Compressor launches and works fine. Motion worked upon the first initial launch after installation. Every subsequent launch of Motion comes up with the menus. Project Browser sometimes, but not always, displays. Most options in the menu drop-downs (things like New... and Preferences) and buttons in the Project Browser (you have to leave the app and then return to it to have the Project Browser appear) do not work. Even the buttons located on the Splash Screen (Apple Menu...About Motion) do not work. I have deleted the user preferences: com.apple.motionapp.plist I have also uninstalled, re-downloaded and reinstalled Motion from the Mac App Store. Any assistance in getting this program working, will be greatly appreciated.
No previous versions of Final Cut (anything). Updated to OSX 10.6.8. Machine info: Mac Pro 2,1 8-core 3GHz, 8GB RAM, 1900XT and 7300GT

This issue has been resolved.
It seems there was an issue with the System and not the Application or User space. I tried to restore 10.6.7 (with M5, FCPX and C4) installed. (I installed these apps prior to 10.6.8.) This resulted in kernel panics after restores from different dates and OS numbers.
Re-installed SL on a clean partition and updated to 10.6.8 with the Combo download. Ran Software Update once. Restarted to verify the system was working properly and then used Migration Assistant to restore the Apps and Users from TM. Everything in these spaces restored except for Motion. (It was not in the Application Folder in TM but the Application Support and User prefs were.) I copied Motion from the 10.6.7 version of the TM backup to the now clean and fully migrated OS. Motion works now as expected. I don't know what was going on with this but am happy to report this resolution. (I really don't want to go digging through Console to find out what really was causing this.)

SWF header duration reduced to 2 frames after using a Motion Preset

It seems that after you apply a Motion Preset the header of an exported SWF reports an incorrect duration of 2 frames even though its much longer. Also, after removing the elements that are related to the Motion Preset, the SWF still reports 2 frames, even though the timeline is longer.
This has been replicated on multiple systems. I tested it by created a SWF with a main timeline of 175 frames, reading the correct duration, then adding a random motion preset and reading only 2 frames.
I believe that the updated SWF spec shows no changes to the header. Anyone know why this happens and if there's a way to get the correct duration in the SWF file header?
Flash CS5 on Windows 7, 64-bit

Looks like he has fireFX instance on the timeline. Most probably this instances symbol base class is com.gskinner.effects.FireFX
You just need to create a directory structure that reflects his package:
com/gskinner/effects/
where you place his FireFX.as
Or, alternatively, you can remove package path from the class header and place FireFx where all you classes (or your application) are:
package com.gskinner.effects {
to
package {
Then you will just need to instantiate the class.

How can I use motion presets?

Hi all,
I have tried to find tutorials on how to use Flash CS5 motion presets, but could not find anything in english. Can some one please point me to any? I type in text on the screen and while the text is selected, I pick smoke from the preset menue, and I got the following error... I even made the text into a symbol.
The motion contained color, filter and / or 3D properties that cannot be applied to the selected objects(s). The unsupported properties were removed.
many thanks in advance,
HDsuperglide

I applied the motion preset "smoke" after I added a motion tween, and I
still get the error. In fact it doesn't put in the smoke filter, it puts in
an upward rotation. I have retried this about 8 times so far and I get the
same result.

How are we supposed to work with the new motion tweens if there's no motion editor anymore?

How are we supposed to work with the new motion tweens if there's no motion editor anymore? Without motion editor we can't see what kind of keyframes are set and we can't set any accelerations anywhere. Does Adobe now want us to go back and use the old motion tweens?

Hi All,
Flash Pro CC 2014 (v 14.0.0.110) is now available for download via the Creative Cloud App.
We have included an all new Motion Editor along with several other new features with this release of Flash Pro. The new Motion Editor is completely redesigned, intuitive and easy to use while preserving the core functionalities and backward compatibility with Flash CS6
To Invoke the Motion Editor, simply Double-Click on your Motion Tween span on Timeline (or Right-Click and select 'Refine Motion') and the Motion Editor opens up in-context in the Timeline itself. Double-Click again to collapse once you have made your adjustments.
Complete list of New features in Flash Pro CC 2014 is available at these links:
Overview:         https://www.adobe.com/in/products/flash.html
Whats new:      https://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/whats-new.html

Where can I find more Motion Presets?

I figure there's got to be a community out there that shares 'em. Anyone know where?

I can see some links after searching in Google, Please try it.

Motion preset plug in?

hello forumers.
i was wandering if there are more motion presets that i can use than the ones that come with flash,the one they have as default are great,but id like to have a wider range if possible.
thank you.

I watched your tutorial. Nice. I have a few questions though.
How did you change the image size of your photos? You say it is important to have them 1000 x 750
When I hit the backslash key I only get a picture at the beginning and one at the end.
I have been looking at your book and reading reviews. If it is as helpful as you are I may have to purchase it.
