Motion Basic 3D Problem

I would like to move the x-axis or the anchor point of the basic 3D-filter to the base of an object, enabling the object move around it's base instead of it's center, is this possible?
If so, how do I do it?
If not, how else can I create this effect?
Thanks in advance for your help.

IOS7.0.3 Reduce Motion fixes the problem for some, but goes too far.

In the past, reduce motion would disable the parallax effect, which is basically when the wallpaper shifts back and forth as you tilt the screen. This parallax effect was rather pointless to have, but it was pretty big on draining battery (I noticed around 10-20% longer battery life after turning Reduce Motion on).
Now, reduce motion not only disables the parallax effect, but all the zooming motions as you open apps or folders. The problem with this is that some people, such as myself, really enjoy those zooming motions. However, the parallax effect (wallpaper shifting) was pretty pointless and not too noticeable, so turning that off was fine.
I would like to have the option to turn specific things off. For example, an on-or-off button for the parallax effect. A separate on-or-off button for zooming motions when you open apps and folders. That way, I can still have the iOS motion I love, and save that much battery power at the same time. I don't really like the smooth overlay transition, it's not as exciting and it feels too much like Droid OS.

Sorry but no point in telling us, Apple is not here this is just a user to user forum for technical support. If you wish to see something change in the OS then you can provide Apple with feedback here:

Motion Tracking Jitter Problem

Using CS3, I am basically trying to replace facial features on individuals in some footage that I have. (replacing mouths, eyes, etc) I have been through numerous tutorials on motion tracking and have it down pretty well. I am tracking motion for both position and rotation, and the motion trackers are pretty dead on. However, after I apply the motion tracking and attempt to to pick whip other layers to this (I have tried numerous ways, nulls, directly to the tracked footage layer, etc...) it is very jittery, it follows the motion trackers just fine, but is very jittery...
I have found a few other with this problem, but no solutions were found. The only solution that I found was a suggestion to Average the null with a long expression that I had no idea how it worked. It there a quick fix for this? My whole 3 minute video is relying on motion tracking and parenting layers to the original footage... PLEASE HELP
also, would Mocha be worth getting, would it solve this issue?

Here's a post that links to some resources for face replacement using motion tracking.
If your only problem is that the motion isn't smooth enough, and you want to remove some of the detail in the motion, you can use the Smoother or the smooth expression method.

3d motion tween load problem

Hey all,
I'm having a problem which has made me struggling for two days. I hope i can get some new ideas for my problem here.
I created a fla which includes several 3d motion tween in CS5.5, when it's compiled it works perfect. But when i try to load this swf into my main project, images get blurry and distorted. Below is the screenshot of the situation. The first one is the correct one, and second one is loaded into main project. I read that scaling 3d tweens might cause such problems and tried to fix it by two solutions. As first, i tried to retransform the tween by: myContainer.transform.matrix = new Matrix(); but didn't work out. As second, i tried to rescale the stage which mentioned as a solution is some blogs.
And i don't know if it is some kind of bug as mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2258767
I'd really be glad if i can get some ideas, thanks all.

anyone?

Motion 5.1 problem - not appearing!

I kept having problems with Motion 5.1 and on several occasions trashed it and re-installed the 'paid for' Motion 5.1 from Apple. On the last attempt I found that I was not able to download and re-install the programme unless I also downloaded and installed Maverick so I complied. From that point in time, about a month ago, I've been unable to get the programme to appear on screen, just the screen centre box announcing it, nothing else. Force Quit shows its presence in thenokrmal colouring, not in red to show it's not responding.
Hunting around in the Appe Store, I found an update, Motion Content V 1.1 which advised that all Motion 5 users should download, so I did that. Now I still can't raise theprogramme. That update was not available as an ordinary update through the usual way of Software Update to me. I had to find it!
As an extra precaution, I checked on the OS needed for this programme and note that my Maverick (10.9.1) is supposed to be correct.
Does anyone know what's going on with this Motion 5 and can provide help, please?

Whether or not my achievement is temporary I don't know but, by restarting my computer whilst the Motion5 box was aggravatingly remaining on screen, the opening screen came up and I then selected the programme as normal.

Please Help, Motion Editor Easing Problem

Hi,
I'm having trouble with the Motion Editor. I'm working on a Flash banner in AS2, publishing to Flash Player 8.
I have a movie clip whose timeline I right-click and select 'Create Motion Tween.' I move position the playhead later in the timeline and move the movie clip down about 200 pixels. I add a Spring easing and assign it to the movie clip's Y property. Something weird happens- the animation jumps down to the next Y keyframe without springing. The green dashed easing line in the track does not look like the spring easing formula either. It looks like the formula for the spring is being clipped...the whole wave shape seems to be above the track (if that makes sense)...see image, below. I've reduced the spring amount to 1 and to 0...but even that does not help...it does not restore the spring. This is for a deadline tomorrow, so if you can, PLEASE please help.

In answer to my own problem and for anyone else's future reference -
having flip4mac or Divx can corrupt the codec is compressor and corrupt your M2v files when you bring them into DVDSP.
You can go into your Quicktime Folder in your HD Library and remove the Flip4mac and/or Divx components (But keep them somewhere else if you intend to use these software applications again).

Photoshop - Motion - DVDSP Color Problem

This message is crossposted in the Motion Forum because I'm not sure where the solution is to be found...
I'm putting together a dvd and I wanted to create transition animations to go between the menus. I've run into a bit of a color problem, however. To explain:
I created my main menu as a layered photoshop document (8-bit RGB, NTSC colorspace). I brought that menu into Motion, preserving all layers. I animated those layers in motion so that at the end of the animation they were another menu on the dvd, then I exported the last frame of the animation, brought it back into photoshop, and made everything line up so that it precisely matched the final frame of the animation, then saved that PSD as a new layered document. Finally, in DVD Studio Pro, I brought in the two Menu PSDs and the animated transition.
The problem I'm running into is that the color on the transition animation is washed out and somewhat desaturated compared to the menu PSDs. Rather than the seamless transition from layered menu PSD to animation and back to layered menu PSD, you can see this altered color "pop" on the animation.
Here's what I've checked and tried:
-I've exported the motion project as every codec that made any kind of sense (Animation NTSC, Apple Pro Video NTSC, etc).
-I've brought the Motion project directly into DVD Studio Pro, rather than exporting it.
-Using the color inspector in both Photoshop and Motion, I can see that all RGB values match exactly as they should.
-When I exported a frame of the animation and brought it back into Photoshop to create the second layered menu, the color matched exactly. In fact, I did the alignment using the "difference" layer mode, and there was no color shift at all.
So... any ideas?
Also: I'm going from these layered menus to a video track (first frame matches the layered menu) to another layered menu (matching the final frame of the video track)... that is the most sensible way to have animated transitions between menus, right?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
-W

Well, I found a solution... DVDSP didn't like the image in NTSC, but it seems to work with Generic RGB, provided I redo all of the animation from scratch using the same Generic RGB PSDs. A bit of a pain, but I suppose that's why I did this test after completing only one of the many animations the project will demand.
Thanks everyone for the insights.

Really Basic Spry problem

I'm new to CS3. I'm using Dreamweaver, and I want to use the
Spry XML deatail region display. I followed the tutorial for the
Aquo example. When I transfer all of the files to my server, the
spry js effects don't work. No errors, just no function. I checked
the file paths and made sure they matched and that files were in
the right directories on the server. It seems like this must be
something so basic that it's not in the help files. Can anyone
help?

Without seeing your files, any answer is pure guesswork. Post

Visual basic code problem

Hello!
I want to use visual basic to build a htm which can control labview throght datasocket, i set the switch
as " Swithc until release " in visual basic, the code is
Private Sub CWButton1_Click()
CWDataSocket1.Data = CWButton1.Value
End Sub
but the led of labview can't light on.
is the code problem?
thanks!

The problem is most likely because you have the code in the Click() event handler. The click event in VB is a left mouse down AND mouse up over the controls. If you are wanting it to send out the value when you press and hold the button down, change the event handler to the ValueChanged event.

Motion 5 graphics problem

Hi there,
I have a (random) problem with appearance of graphics in my Motion movie.
It looks like my (Illustrator) graphics disappear in 3D space, but I'm not using a camera nor a 3D space.
Z-values are all zero.
When I play around with the Z-value I can get the graphics visible, but when I re-open the Motion project the graphics are (partially) invisable...
I don't get it...
Anyone?
Thanks!!
Martin
See example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-f9md0RXDk
I can also send you a part of the Motion 5 movie itself.
I'm using Motion 5 in Lion (but the 'bug' was also under OSX 10.6.8 in Motion 5)

Not to worry, it's a known bug. Installing the Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo includes several bug fixes that may help.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.7.
As long as the apps are running ok, you should be fine.

Using LT for motion menu background – problems

I’m trying to use a LT texture (Canvas>Sinopia) as a motion menu background. I exported 30 secs of the rendered texture direct from LT. The QT file size is 1.09 GB. Couldn’t get it to work in DVDSP. Took that file into FCP and re-exported it using custom settings. File size now 108.7 MB. Still doesn’t work in DVDSP.
Should I be putting the 30 second file through Compressor? Is it the large file size that is causing the problems?
Importing the .lpr file into DVDSP also doesn’t work (although I prefer to pre-render all assets, otherwise DVDSP slows to a crawl).
I’ve now tried the texture as a 5 sec version (20 MB file) – works fine, but there’s an annoying jump in the loop every 5 secs. If I could fix that, the menu would probably be OK.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards. Robert.

Both solutions worked. Wish I could award 2 solved stars.
Compressor produced an m2v file of 21.9 MB. I'm going with that because the workflow is quicker and simpler on my old setup.
Exporting as DV from FCP produced a file size of 103.2 MB. My DVDSP slows down with large file sizes, so I'll give it a miss. Or could still be me doing something incorrectly.
I'm working in SD PAL 16:9.
Help was much appreciated.
Regards. Robert.

Please explain Importance of Interfaces ....? [Basic Conceptual Problem..]

Hi everyone..
i am new to java..i want to know the importance of interfaces in java....
interface A{
public void print();
class B implements A{
public void print()
System.out.println("Please explain me the importance of Interfaces");
the class B can also be defined with out interface as the following...
class B {
public void print()
System.out.println("Please explain me the importance of Interfaces");
Both the classes have the same functionality ... then what the use of declaring an Interface and implementing it...?
PLEASE EXPLAIN BASIC USE OF INTERFACES....?
Note: Ignore any syntax errors in the code that i have written above
thanks in advance

In Java, mostly we use inheritance for code reuse.
public class Toy{
public class Ball extends Toy{
}Suppose there is another class Type which doesn't related to Toy family.
public class Tyre{
}Now we know that Ball and Tyre are bouncable. So we will have to implement bounce() method in both class which behave differently.
public class Ball extends Toy{
public void bounce() {
}Suppose there is another class Type which doesn't related to Toy family.
public class Tyre{
public void bounce() {
}*If want to collect bouncable things into a single collection, then how can we do that?*
There is way, we can use abstract class:-
public abstract BouncingThings {
public abstract void bounce();
}Now things that are bouncable can extend BouncingThings class and the collection of bounce things will be
BouncingThings [] bouncingThings;
But there is one problem Java doesn't allow multiple class inheritance. So Ball can't extend both Toy and BouncingThings.
We can use interface:-
public interface Bouncable{
void bounce();
public class Ball extends Toy implements Bouncable{
public void bounce(){
public class Tyre implements Bouncable{
public void bounce(){
Bouncable[] bouncableThings = { new Ball().new Tyre() };Edited by: SandipGaikwad on Oct 16, 2007 12:23 PM

70" Aquos LED, Serious motion-blur problems. Help

I have a LC70LE732U 70" Sharp Aquos LED HDTV, and I can't help but notice the serious motion-blur. When watching fast-paced movement (such as a baseball soaring through the air), the blur/lag is incredible. Is there any specific reason as to why this happens on this extremely expensive and so-called "high quality" television? If so, are there any settings that I can set my TV to in order to rid of this highly noticable problem? Thanks.

All signals, broadcast and recorded (DVD, BLu-ray, etc) are 60 Hz. No amount of doubling, tripling, etc, will get rid of it. If you have turned on Smooth-motion, and still get the lag, you'll just have to live with it. Since the original sighanl is recorded, encoded and broadcast at 60Hz, the lag will be there.

Help with Hiss Removal / Basic Audio Problems

Hey guys. I have a Panasonic HDC-TM700 with an attached Azden High-performance (SMX-10) Stereo Condenser Microphone. I use it to record a person talking about 6 feet away in small room. However the audio always sounds horrible on playback. By horrible I mean there is always a loud hiss, and they sound so flat. Since I have to do this on a weekly basis now I am hoping somebody here can give me some pointers on how to fix these issues. I assume it a fairly issue fix in Adobe Audition CS 5.5 (which I have). I start my production in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and then export the audio to Adobe Audition for editing. My problem is ive never been a sound guy so I really don’t understand what all the filters and settings do (in Premiere or Audition). I was able to “capture the noise” and have Auditon “remove it”.   That does an ok job of removing the hiss… but then the already flat voice left over, sounds very tinny.
So is there any advice or direction you can give me on what settings to use or apply to get audition to make the audio sound better? Or is there anywhere (for beginners) to learn how to use the settings? I think my problem is that I don’t understand the basics of audio like what EQ or a compressor does, and how the settings effect things. But everything I read is so technical and it just confuses me more.
Or are there any other microphones (under $200.00) anybody could suggest that would be able to be added to this camera that could get me better audio for my situation?
I would really appreciate any advice, or a point in the right direction. Thanks guys.

I'm afraid my answer isn't going to make you happy. A microphone mounted on a camera six feet away from a speaker isn't ever going to give you the results you're after. Audition may be able to help a little but the real trick is to get the mic much closer to the speaker, especially in a small room which is going to sound hollow and boomy. Effectively what you're asking is like "if I shoot on a wide angle lens, how can I zoom into a closeup in editing without losing resolution". Sound is just as unforgiving. When I was working as a sound guy for video, the trick was always to get the mic in as close as possible without getting into shot--even with a thousand dollar mic, I couldn't just stand by the camera and get good results--well, at least not without a long fish pole!
How you do this is going to depend on the details of your shoot.   You might try a shotgun mic on a fishpole boom--the cheapest shotgun I know is the Rode NTG2 but this with a fishpole will blow your $200 budget. (There's also the NTG1 but this needs phantom power and I'll assume you can't provide that.
Or, in a static situation, there are various clip on lavalier mics you could try--Sennheiser do at least one within your budget (or used to--haven't checked lately) that can be powered with a little button battery.
Either way, though, the trick is to get the mic much closer to the subject.
For material you already have, the only suggestion I have is to do your hiss reduction in several small steps rather than trying to do it all at once. This should result in the remaining voice sounding less "processed" but it's still not the same as getting the recording right to start with.
