Motion tracking and exporting layers with the background video

Is it possible to apply the motion tracking data to a new object in a new layer and then output, or export, that layer as an overlay plane (or perhaps in the alpha channel) so that the new object can be interactive (perhaps in a flash swf format)?
I would like to create an interactive layer of objects (created through motion tracking) above a background video layer.
Is After Effects the right tool for this job?

You are severely oversimplifying the matter. Interaction means establishing rules and this in turn requires programming. Ergo, you absolutely cannot avoid Flash and ActionScript. You can certainly do the tracking in AE and then use CS4's "Export to Flash" feature to get the raw setup into Flash, but the work doesn't stop there. For older versions of AE you will need alternate ways to import the tracking data, e.g. by ways of text files, but really, this is much more a Flash topic than one for the AE community, so better ask your questions there.

Import and export MDM with the SAP Portal

Hi,
Would you have any clue on how to handle import and export from the SAP portal ?
I need your help because I haven't found any standard iView to perform these functions
The only information i got were some explanations on WebDynpro Java iViews using events to export from the Portal.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
MDM iViews are only meant to perform MDM Data Manager operations but on limited basis. EP-MDM scenario has been designed for end users only which should not allow to perform complex data manager operations and they need not install MDM Clients.
Thats why importing and exporting functionalities are not possible in standard MDM iviews.

Import and Export variables with same name

The nco3 throws and exception when a function has Import and Export variables with the same name.
An example is BAPI_BATCH_CREATE.
At the moment my solution is create a ZBAPI_BATCH_CREATE that wraps the original BAPI but has diferent names for import and export variables (IBATCH and OBATCH for BATCH variable).
Anyone has another more clean solution?

Help with Motion Tracking and Masking?

Hi. First and probably only post here. I've got a bit of an issue....
I'm trying to create "snapshots" in my video that are created from masks which are then motion tracked and remain stationary. Here's a video of what i'm talking about... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OhVAduuJc8
The problem I'm running into is that after i motion track the layer, select a null object as the target, duplicate the video layer, mask the object, freeze frame, and pair it to a null layer, the object does not remain stationary as the ones in the video do. Instead it moves WITH the null object and I cant figure out why. I've gotten a tutorial from the guy who made the video, however it's private so i don't know if you guys will be able to see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY0QLrMCcGM
Either way, i followed the tutorial exactly and still to no avail. Are my settings messed up or what exactly is going on? Ive successfully done this project before but now that i'm using CS5, i'm running into these issues. If anyone has any advice i'd gladly try it out and return with the results.
Thanks so much for trying to help me out.

Yeah the null is still moving. Will freezing it lock the mask into place while still allowing the footage to play through? And how would i go about "freezing the null"?
I just dont understand how this person does it in the tutorial, and the mask remains in place. I know you probably can't watch the tutorial cause the user has it set as private, but as far i know his mask stays in place, but uses the null (while still moving) as a tracking device to keep the mask from floating out of control as the camera moves through the shot.
Sorry if I'm making this rather confusing. It's difficult to explain.
Maybe it might be easier to explain how you would obtain the result from the video I've posted? Keep in mind I dont have CameraTracker.

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
Here is a good Tutorial.
If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

Motion 5 and compressor 4 with FCP ?

Hi,
Is it possible to use motion 5 and copressor 4 with FCP 7 ?
Thanks
Ivan

Sort of – by exporting and reimporting as clips. There is no round-tripping. For example, you can't send a clip as a Motion project to Motion4, save and have the clip update in FCP. You'd have to export a clip (or sequence) as a self-contained movie and bring it into Motion (or Compressor), make your changes, exporty and reimport as a clip, see how you liked the result, etc. Much easiier to stay within FCS.

Exporting text without the background?

Hi all,
I am working on an awards project using keynote and Livetype, I would like to export specific text livefonts without the generic background. For example, after exporting, being able to drag them onto a keynote slide without the black background being imported aswell, I just need the text. I am aware I could use Photoshop to remove it but as it is a large project I dont want to have to remove it all. any info would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks tommy

Photoshop would not be appropriate for removing the black at all since it's not really there if you export properly with the alpha channel from LT.
LT is not very good typesetting tool unless you simply must have access to the weird custom fonts or visual effects. You cannot perform typesetting adjustments such as kerning in LT.

How can you add your own print and export buttons to the CR viewer toolbar?

I posted a previous question that was asking how to get around the Information Bar in IE7 when you export and print. Unfortunately the CR viewer file download code gets blocked by IE7 because the buttons don't directly download the file. However, I have been able to get a regular button that calls the following code and streams the file to the client and IE7 does not block it.
Sub PrintPDF(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
     Dim crReportDocument as ReportDocument
     Dim crExportOptions as ExportOptions
     Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions as DiskFileDestinationOptions
     Dim Fname as string
     CrReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
     CrReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("estactionlist.rpt"))
     Fname = Server.MapPath("./") & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"
     CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
     CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FName
     CrExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
     With crExportOptions
          .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
          .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
          .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
     End With
     CrReportDocument.Export()
     Response.ClearContent()
     Response.ClearHeaders()
                Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf")
                Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
                Response.Charset = ""
                Response.WriteFile(Fname)
                Response.Flush()
     Response.Close()
     System.IO.File.Delete(Fname)
End Sub
So here are my questions?
1. Is it possible to add a custom print control/icon to the CR viewer toolbar?
2. If one is not possible, then is it possible to override the CR viewer print and export buttons with your own subroutines like the one above?
I just want my page to look nice and hate to have print and export buttons outside of my CR viewer.
Thanks,
Kevin

It might be possible to replace the buttons in a windows app since you can retrieve the toolbar as a toolbar object in the winform viewer ( ToolStrip toolBar = (ToolStrip) crystalReportViewer1.Controls[3]; ) however with a web app, it's a lot more difficult.
The problem is that that you need to parse the Request string to try and figure out if the print / export button was clicked. The code below makes the print button disappear if you click it, so you should be able to modify it to call your custom printing / exporting code instead (You have to do this check in a postback)
        Dim I As Integer = 0
        If Request.Form.AllKeys.Length > 0 Then
            For I = 0 To Request.Form.AllKeys.Length - 1
                Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString & "<BR>")
                If Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString = "CrystalReportViewer2:_ctl2:_ctl2.x" Then
                    CrystalReportViewer2.HasPrintButton = False
                End If
            Next
       End If

How can I make the »Text Box« blend with the background?

I have a problem that my document is almost finished, but still I cannot solve one basic problem. My “Text box” fields are still selectable (I get the blue select/resize buttons around the text) when I click on them when reviewing my document in the reader. In this “Text box” fields there is text that is not meant to be changed by the end user. It should just be shown (blend with the background) and not selectable. This resize buttons around the text box don’t work and don’t allow the end user to change the size but their presence alone drives me crazy.
Should I use the “Stamp” tool in this case or is there a setting (with the text box tool) that I’m missing?

It seems that I found the solution. Is the only way to avoid the before mentioned edit box that I use the TouchUp Text tool to add text?

Live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds.

live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds. Ideas?

What I want to do is somehow make my entire iMovie project smaller by compressing it somehow but without losing any footage or audio or quality. At the moment the project is a 56GB iMovie project lasting approx 1hr. I have a mixture of miniDV footage, titles created in Live Type (they are better quality than anything available in iMovie) and audio.
The miniDV footage is automatically compressed when it transfers from my camcorder to my Mac, no worries there.
The LiveType titles contain a motion background (imported into LT) and then text which appears and disappears at set points. The titles vary in length but are about 5 seconds each.
The file size for the LT titles is approx 180MB per clip, the movie requires about 20 or so of these clips, making a very large file size overall.
Is there a way that I can save something in LT so that the file size is smaller yet still keep the quality and use the clip in my iMovie ?

How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?
