Need rubber band text effect

I want to make a series of text titles zoom out and then stretch in the middle as they reach full size like a rubber band having over stretched and then pinging back into place in CS4. I have looked through the text animation presets and can't find anything there so looks like I need to build the effect from scratch.
Need to know what are the basic steps I need to take to manipulate text in this way?
Thx
Kevin

This is fairly easy to do with an expression. Dan Ebbberts has a couple of examples that would work. The first is explained in the "It's a Fact Jack" part of this page. You would apply the expression to the X scale property. Just change the y to an x then write the final line [x, 100]
If that doesn't do it for you try looking at Dan's Elastic Connection page. You could tie the x scale of the text to a null then animate the null's position to get your elastic effect.
The most direct option is to just animate the X scale by hand. It may take you a few tries to get the exact look you want.

Looking for a cool text effect

Hi guys and girls.
I am working on a doco of a tattoo artist.
I need a cool text effect for the intro.
Maybe something like dripping ink in a tattoo font.
Does anyone know where I can dind something like this?

I'd look first at creating the artwork in Illustrator or Photoshop. Maybe you could get your tattoo artist to sketch up a few samples. Then work on revealing the artwork, possibly on body parts using the same techniques used to reveal line drawings or signatures. There are a ton of tutorials available on that subject.
The other thing I'd do right away is work on a budget (time or time and money) for this part of your project. Opening titles can take a huge amount of time and just looking at your initial description and my suggestion I'd say there's at least 80 hours work in a modest title sequence with these techniques.

Image Pan _ Rubber band effect

I am trying to make the black square do the rubber band
effect while the image pans left to right with mouse movement
Each code works seperatly but when i put them together they
do not work
here is layer 1 the code for the image pan
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number,
dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == 1) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else { mSpeed = mousePercent;
target.destX =
Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else if (target._x>target.destX) {
target._x -=
Math.ceil((target._x-target.destX)*(speed/100));
} else if (target._x<target.destX) {
target._x +=
Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
here is the code for the movieclip on layer 2
MovieClip.prototype.move = function (centerx, centery,
inertia, k) { x = -this._x+centerx;y = -this._y+centery;xp =
xp*inertia+x*k;yp = yp*inertia+y*k;_x += xp;_y += yp;};
now the code for the actual squarebox
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.move(x=247.5, y=300, 0.80, 0.1);
What am i doing wrong????

Need Help Making This Text Effect

Can someone please assist on how I can create this text effect with the thick line surrounding the text phrase at this link?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/lalogotheque/2801883641/in/set-72157608260902848/
I have the font already and I'm using Illustrator CS 1.0 for Mac OS X.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes I guess that is the way it is done:

<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1Np8mdgE1ZazEbQZjQnP6huKdaL7EJ_thumb.png" border="0" />
 
 That is you make three copies of the text but this time I composed the text as one unit using baseline shift and different type sizes and spacing.
 
 Once I had text they way I wanted it and the three copies I kept one as is, in this case the black version.
 
 I then gave a color to the bottom most and gave it a sufficient Offset path setting to look solid.
 
 So there is now black text and a solid colored background in and expanded shape of the text.
 
 I then outlined the text for the text that had been offset and then used the pathfinder to merge the different paths within that art. That would be the first icon on the top left of the pathfinder panel.
 
 I then gave the text in between and outline twice the weight I wanted the gap to be and no fill and flattened the transparency choosing to outline the strokes.
 
 Then I selected the outlined I just created and the background I created before leaving the
 the outline on top of the background and went back to the pathfinder and chose to minus the front. The second icon on the top left of the panel.
 
 And there you are.
 
 Now I can do a Video or perhaps someone like Mordy will stop by and clean up my explanation as I understand i am often not easy to follow as far as my writing is concerned.
 
 I hope this helps.

How can I disable rubber band scrolling?

How can I disable rubber band scrolling?
Regards

hm...
I'm having an issue with a bouncing or "creeping" effect when I type in TextEdit; after having ugraded to Snow Leopard.
I'm now cross-posting a bit, I can't find my way around here; doing the best I can:
While typing in an rtfd new file, as I'm on the first line, the page starts creeping down until it's the very bottom line. When I get to the end of the line and it wraps, the page jumps up to about 5 or 6 lines and each few letters I type on the new line cause it to creep back down so it's the bottom line, until I get to the end of the next line, where I get a 5-6-line jump again, and then the creep again. This has to be one of the most annoying things ever, and makes me want to go get a different text editor. I use TextWrangler, but I've become used to TextEdit for quick things, and for a few specific things, but now I'm not loving it anymore.
Help please?

Drop Down Text Effects

Hi there.
I'm created topics currently that have drop down text effects in them.
Basically, I have a title which has got a little image next to it (a plus expand sign image).
When you click either the image of the title text, the drop down text appears as intended.
Is there anyway I can get it, so that when you click either the text or the image, the image changes to be a minimise image?
The screenshots below demonstrate what I mean a bit clearer.
Thanks very much,
Craig

Hi Craig
All I can say is that the script or whatever simply isn't finding the image if you are viewing from the compiled CHM. When you compile, you need to ensure that everything is in the place it needs to be. For example, maybe you have a folder in your project and you added the image to the folder. But in reality, it's looking for the image in the project root. Because the image is in the folder, it cannot be found.
I'd suggest a double-check of things just to be certain.
Cheers... Rick

Looking for some good text effects type plugins for CS5 or CS5.5

I have a website that I am updating and I wanted to create some really cool text effects. The effects are something that I want to create in After Effects to give it the movie effect with sounds, etc.
What I'm looking for is some add-on software that can boost the text. Any ideas?
Thanks

Since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time. It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
So how do you get the basics? You go here.
...and if you need this animation in a big hurry, you might want to have a Plan B ready to go.

Can Someone Tell Me How to Do This Text Effect?

Ok so this video has this text effect that I spent 2 days looking on how to do it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LATGUNnlUr8
The text effect starts at 0:47-0:49
I tried looking for plugins and etc but I just can't find any that do this or something similar to it! It would mean a lot if you could tell me how to do it ^^

The text itself simply appears character by character. The "Typewriter" animation preset will do the job. Additionally, there's a spray of particles accompanying the text. You could generate these with the CC Particl World plugin. You'll need to match the floor of the effect to the floor of your shot/background. Animate the location of the particle generator to match the locatio of the appearing text. Finally, apply some Glow.

How do i rubber band audio?

i am tryin to bleep out swear words, and i have applied tone, but need to rubber band the bits of audio to lower them slightly, as i can still clearly hear the words coming through, i dont even know how to see the rubber banding on the timeline

For your bleeping, though, you might do better by "cutting in" the tone right over the offending word
Lock down your video track, use In and Out to define the bad word in the audio track and Overwrite the bleep .. that way you are getting rid of the voice endtirely

Rubber Band Brush Mode?

I have searched the helpfile and I don't think this is possible but just thought I'd check to make sure.
I have another paint app where it will do a brush mode that is a rubber-band mode. So if there is a brush that's 25 pixels wide and you go and click once somewhere and then move the cursor... a straight line rubberband appears connected to your cursor. When you click again, the brush is painted in a straight line to where you clicked. It's great when you are trying to quickly paint a straight line to match something in the image.
Does PS have a brush mode like this?
(I know that drawing paths can be stroked in straight lines, etc. but I need a brush mode that is quickly switchable to as I am speed painting thousands of images and brushing is fastest for this work).
Thanks!

So do you mean you want to be able to draw straight lines that are not paths quickly? If so, select the line tool which would normally make a path, and in the top left of the screen in the tools long menu across the top, select the square shape that has no lines or a pen on it, and this will just create a basic, pixle line. You can set its thinckness up there too. If you want to draw a line that goes from thin-to-thick, if you use the paintbrush with any brush, hold shift key as you paint. It can go in a straight line then, but only in the 4 main directions. If you require different directions, you can duplicate, then rotate the line you created, or you make a brush out of it and set rotation to pen tilt if you have a graphics tablet.

Mavericks: disable rubber band scroll bouncing

Now that I have to use Mavericks every day in the office, the insipid rubber band scroll bouncing is simply maddening.
It's distracting, annoying, useless and a constant drain on focus.
Please, for the love of cute puppies, does anyone know how to turn this off?
Sadly, defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberBanding -int 0 has no effect in Mavericks, while it did before in previous OSes.
Honestly, just a setting to turn off all the sliding, popping, jumping, darting, swooping graphics and cascading NSOutlineViews would make me actually enjoy using the Mac again.
I want to get work done, not get distracted by excess motion all over my screen.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I have tried multiple terminal commands as well. It worked for Chrome, but my Mail messages are driving me nuts bouncing all over the place! There must be way to turn this off!
Just tried Tinker Tools which is supposed to remove bounce in all apps (except Safari) and it didn't work for Mail either. It's almost unuseable this way unless I want a headache after reading 5 messages. Stupid Apple.

Imported MP4 HD vid. Added text effects. Want to reexport in same quality. How?

I own a:
Model #: p6140f
Product #: NP192AA-ABA
Software Build #: 93NAv6PrA2
PCBRAND: HP Pavilion
I imported an MP4 HD (1080p) video. I then added some text effect layers, and want to export the comp in 1080p as well. Yet, when I try File > Export > MPEG-4 I always get low quality, audioless files.
Comp settings: Pixel Aspect Ratio- HD 1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1.33), Resolution - Full (1920 x 1080, 7.9 MB 8bpc frame.
When I export to MP4, I have the option of file format: MP4 or MP4 (ISMA).
When I select MP4, My video format choices are: None, MPEG-4 Basic, MPEG-4 Improved or H.264. Data Rate: Optional (256 kbt/s stardard). Image Size: anywhere from 160 x 120, 176 x 144 QCIF, or what I want, 1920 x 1080 HD. Frame Rate: 8-60 or custom.
When I select MP4 (ISMA). My video format choices are: None, MPEG-4 Basic or MPEG-4 Improved. Data Rate: Again Optional (256 kbt/s stardard). Image Size: anywhere from 160 x 120 to 352 x 288 CIF. Frame Rate: 8-30 or custom.
Additionally, none of these MP4 files feature sound either.
What is going on here, and how can I correct these problems?
If you need more info don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks,
Yakshire

how can I correct these problems?
You need to read the help, plain and simple:
Basics of rendering and exporting
You don't use Export, you use the Render Queue and Adobe's native H.264/ MP4 encoders.

Shape Layer to 3D Text Effect

Hey guys,
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way that I can create a shape layer to and give it the 3D text effect. To further explain, I created some text in Photoshop, but for it to be stylized, I did it with the pen tool so my words are shape layers instead of text layers. Im also using CS6 normal and not extended, so I don't have that 3D option at the top. If there is a method for this, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!
Examples of what I'm going for:
http://maxcdn.photoshoplady.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Clean-3D-Text-Effect-Creation-u sing-CS6-L.png
http://vanimg.s3.amazonaws.com/0613-text-15.jpg

I didn't look at your example until after I made the demo image, but you could work it to produce that effect.
What we used to make 3D text before we had Photoshop 3D tools, was Free Transform Step & Repeat. You'll find a bunch of tutorials if you look, but basically:
Make your front shape, make a copy and rasterize the copy. Hide the Shape because you don't need it any more.
Copy your rasterized shape layer.
Free Transform the copy, and use the size and movement values in the options bar. For my demo I moved it up a couple of pixels, and resized to 98% horizontally and vertically.
Hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) and keep hitting the t key until you have sufficient depth. You end up with a lot of layers. My size and movement was a bit course, which you can see from the jaggies on the bottom left of the '3' character.
Select all the 3D layers, and go Layers > Arrange > reverse (you just want to bring your initial layer to the top of the stack.
Select all the other 3D layers and merge them
Give the initial layer a different colour or tone.
You'll want to add some shading, so make a new layer above the merged layers, Ctrl click the merged layers to load the selection, and add a layer mask to the new layer (called shading in my image)
Unlink the layer mask. This is so we can blur our shading without bleeding past the text boundries.
I prefer to paint in the shading because you can blur and adjust opacity. Paint it in with a hard brush for accuracy, and use a LOT of blur (Gaussian 10)
You might need multiple layers and selections to control the different faces, but I just finished off with the Dodge tool.
Having the front face and body on different layers, means you can mess about with layer styles, or colorize with a hue/saturation layer.
A bit more dodge and burn with some careful masking and perhaps a curves layer set to luminosity... You have the building blocks and can keep adding to them.

Roll back text effect?

I am attempting to make my text roll back so that it
basically looks like it's on a cube and the cube keeps flipping
backwards.
I am using this in a template for my team so the text needs
to be editable. Adobe put in some great text effects; however, none
of them work for this purpose.
Any ideas?

Hi Kristen
If you are good with Flash (or know someone that is) you
could create such an effect using Flash.
Other than that, perhaps suggest it to the Captivate team as
a future Text Effect.
