Need smoother transitions between .swf's

I have a website I am doing that has a flash intro with
music. I then have the site itself which is also designed in flash.
These 2 swf files sit on 2 different .html pages with an action
that tells one frame to go to the next "page".
My client whats it to be a smoother transition, almost like
its going within the same .swf fles. I tried to save the flash .fla
and just importat and try to figure it out how to import the
intro.swf file into my main flash site and to just add it at the
beginning. Bu this didn't work either...

Try using a fade-in or a fade-out
located in transitions
between the pics
play with the timing of the fade
this helps between all pics
but adds alot of time to the movie.

How do I do smooth transitions between clips?

After trimming clips, what type of effects do I need to use for smoother transitions? I tried several types of video transitions, for example Crossover Dissolve between the clips. But I want to show as if I never did any cuts or clippings even though I have done it. Did I make this clear?

You may want to ask yourself, "Why do I want to use a transition?"
As you think about this question watch any network TV program and look for the transitions. You will generally find very few transitions in a professional video. Those you do find will generally be dips to black rather than cross-dissolves. You will generally find cross-disolves being used only where the editor wanted to give a sense of time changing.
This s a situation in which less is more. I believe that a 1 sec cross-dissolve draws more attention to itself than would a 0 second cut.

Smooth transition between frames

Hi. Say If I have an animation which runs to frame 80 and the loops. On a button press, it goes to frame 81 and continues from there. Currently, when the button is pressed, there is a very noticable jump from the current frame to frame 81. The lower the frame number in the loop, the more noticable the jump. Is there anyway I can say something in my button press like if current frame is less than 80, wait until it hits frame 80 until you go to 81? Hopefully, this would make the transition smoother.
cheers

You can put a conditional on frame 80 that tests a boolean variable. If the variable is true (or false, you decide) you loop, if it is falue (or true) you continue on to frame 81. Whatever button you are talking about sets the value of that variable.

Smooth transitions between menus without using DVDSPs built-in transitions?

My project has two menus: a main menu and a chapter menu. When going from one menu to the other I would like to have the current menu fade out and the new menu fade in. When going from the end of the track or when using the remote menu button after getting to the track from the main menu I would like to have the main menu fade in (and the background for the chapter menu not appear). When using the remote menu button after getting to the track from the chapter menu I would like to have the chapter menu fade in (and the background for the main menu not appear).
I am able to accomplish what I described above by using DVDSPs built-in transitions. However, I have been advised by Trai Forrester that DVDSPs built-in transitions can cause problems: http://www.dvdverification.com/public/155.cfm I have therefore modified my project to not use DVDSPs built-in transitions, but in order to have my project behave as I have described above I found it necessary to use two versions of the main menu and two versions of the chapter menu. One version of the main menu has a video file that fades in the background of the main menu, while the second version of the main menu has a video file that fades out the background of the chapter menu and then fades in the background of the main menu. (Similarly one version of the chapter menu has a video file that fades in the background of the chapter menu, while the second version of the chapter menu has a video file that fades out the background of the main menu and then fades in the background of the chapter menu.)
My project behaves as desired using the two pairs of menu and does not use DVDSPs built-in transitions, so that pleases me. However, the almost-identical copies of the menus annoys me greatly. For an explanation of the programming principles that lead to my annoyance, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_duplication and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27trepeatyourself for elaboration.
Is there a way to have just two menus instead of two pairs of menus and achieve what I described above without using DVDSPs built-in transitions?
Looking forward to being surprised by a clever solution,
John Link

Since you have no audio or motion then try the jump to loop point script. Either way would be fine.
I played around with that a little bit and it seems that to get all the fade-outs I'd like to have would require several scripts and keeping track of SPRM 7. I think that I am going to abandon all of the fade-outs but keep the fade-ins. I can do that with a single main menu and a single chapter menu and not use the built-in transitions or any scripts at all. The behavior looks good and I think the disc will be very safe.
I agree, duplicating code is not good practice but remember your not writing code here - DVDSP is doing all this work under the hood for you.
I may not be writing code but I am programming the DVD and the principle of non-duplication is violated by almost-identical menus.
If you'd like check out a tool like My DVDEdit or AfterEdit
http://www.mydvdedit.com/
http://dvdafteredit.com/
It allows you to see the "real" DVD Structure which tools like DVDSP or Encore hide to make things simple. You can even go through the abstraction layer line by line to see how that SPRM 7 is used (wish I knew why that Sony Player doesn't work for your project).
Be sure to take a look at my report on the RDR-GX355: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1896575&tstart=0 That player also operates incorrectly on Concert for George: http://www.amazon.com/Concert-George-Andy-Fairweather-Low/dp/B0000CEB4V/ref=pdbbs_sr1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1233954620&sr=8-1
Its not rocket science (especially for a programming like yourself) but remember authoring a disc in DVDSP vs a spec tool like Scenarist isn't even in the same ballpark - not even the same sport Last time I heard Scenarist is down to $6000 - it was $20K a couple years ago.
That's a deal breaker! I'll be working with DVDSP in the foreseeable future.
Also go here:
http://www.dvd-replica.com/DVD/index.php
it explains the spec in detail
Thanks. I'll take a look.

SMOOTH TRANSITION BETWEEN VIEWS?

I have created several views of a building i have drawn.
I have embeded links to the views, but the view change jumps very quickly. Is there a way i can make the camera zoom out slowly then refocus on the next selected view slowly?
Many thanks
David

up because I would like to do the same.. using GNOME atm without GDM (but I often switch to a openbox or compiz-standalone setups)

Seamless transitions between externally loaded movie clips

I'm building a flash player that loads various movie clips in succession depending on user input. The player should continue to play seamlessly when one clip ends and another starts playing, however there is always a slight noticeable delay between the COMPLETE event for one clip and the actual playing of the next clip. I am using the FLVPlayback component to load the video clips, with successive clips loaded in different players in the component.
I've tried playing the next video a short duration before the current video finishes by adding a cue point just before the end of the currently running clip (about 200 - 300 ms before the end). This improves matters somewhat, but it is not a reliable method as the timings are different for different browsers and computer specs.
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with smooth transitions between external video clips and could suggest possible optimizations I could use to improve the transitions.

Thank you for replying.
The video clips basically continues the same shot only with different directions, so I can't fade out between transitions. It needs to appear as though it's playing a single video clip in that respect (a one-shot scene).
Another major issue is that there is music playing for each video which should continue playing without interuptions. Even a small gap is noticeable with audio. I thought about separating the audio and video streams but that could mean they could go out of sync as the more transitions occur.

Smooth transitions betwen audio

im ptreety new to the FCP world and am having trouble getting a smooth transition between two bits of audio (first bit is in sync with person on camera - second bit is voice over with other video) they are supposed to sound as though they were recorded at the same time (ie the guy you see talking at first is just continuing to talk over the other picture) but they weren't... the second section of audio was recorded at a different time so the level is a little different and the background hiss is different - and that's the biggest problem... when you hear that sound of nothing change its really easy to spot the cut in the audio... how can i smooth out this cut without having 'atmos' recorded at the locations when they were shooting?
can i dissolve the two bits of audio or something?
help! this is driving me crazy!

Get a third track of room tone sound put it under both clips to start. Yes, you can do audio dissolves. Slect the edit point on the clips and hit Command OptionT to add a dissolve. Also, you probably want to look into the audio filters for some EQ, etc. This is the basic way to get started. You might not be able to "cure" the problem, but you should be able to get it to sound a lot better.

How do I make transitions between clips smooth?

how do I make transitions between clips smooth? Right now, when I play my video in imovie, the clips freeze or jump between clips.

Have you tried sharing the final movie using the Share menu, or, alternatively use FILE/FINALIZE PROJECT?
The final product shouldn't have any lag. iMovie itself should not have any lag, but could depending on your Memory and hard disk configuration.

Need to smoot transition between 2 layers

Hello,
I hope somebody can help me. I have a picture of the sun behind a mountain, where I can see in black the mountain itself and then the colours of the sky. I have a larger background (I need it) and I need to transition the background so that it seems it is the same image as the sunset. In other words, I expect that the background will not be completely black, but rather getting darker as I move away from the sunset, so that I will look like one larger picture. The image can explain it better. Can anyone please tell me how to do this? Thanks!!!

• Add a Layer below the image Layer
• use the Brush Tool with a large soft tip and pick up color from the image (by alt-clicking) to brush in missing sky
• create a plain Noise Pattern (Filter > Noise > Add Noise and Edit > Define Pattern) on a new document and close it
• use that as an Overlay (Layer > Layer Style > Pattern Overlay), set it to Blend Mode Linear Light, scale it if necessary and reduce the Opacity to fit the image
• add a Layer Mask (Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All) and paint with black to soften the edges
• select the image Layer and use the Magic Wand Tool to select the mountains
• copy them to a Layer of their own (Layer > New > Layer via Copy) and move them over to the left
• add a Layer Mask to those, too, and soften the edges if necessary

Can you display multiple photos on one page with slide tool to transition between them?

Hi Folks,
I have a series of photos taken from the exact same location but on different days. I would like to display them on one page but use a slide tool/bar to move or transition between the photos. If the slide bar can display the date of the photo then that would be great.
Can this be done in adobe?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

A Steve mentioned you can use a button to display an image. If you use JavaScript, you wouldn't have to show/hide multiple buttons but could instead dynamically set the button icon programmatically. The setup for something like this is a bit involved, but it's not overly complicated. Post again if you'd like more details.
The slide bar is the thing that would have to faked as there is no such built-in control, but something functionally equivalent could be done, it just may not behave as smoothly as you want.

Linking between swf's - file size problem

I"m building a presentation & have two separate swf's. One is about 80 mb, the other is 40 mb. When I tried to export the larger one, I got a warning that it exceeded 16k frames. I figured out how to work around that. But now I need to integrate both swf's. If I take the smaller one & import it into the larger one as a new scene, will that blow up my export ability again? Can I link between two separate swf's using some sort of gotoAndPlay function? What are my options here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Passing data parameter between SWF files

Hello Xcelsius Gurus,
Is it possible to pass data parameter between SWF files?
If possible, how to achieve it?
Thank you.
Justine

Hi,
Thank you for the reference. Little bit confused, please let me clarify.
I do not understand how the receiver SWF receieved the data parameter and process.
For example, I have a parent dashboard and a child dashboard. In the parent dashboard, I have set up combo box to filter the data. And I want the data that I have selected in combo box to the child dashboard.
To do this, first I need to setup the flash variable at the parent dashboard to fetch the data I selected.
After this, how to link this data to the child dashboard?
Furthermore, after the child dashboard received the data parameter, I need this data to insert into the spreadsheet so I can filter the data. Is this possible?
Thanks.

How do I add a transition between every clip in Premiere Elements 11?

Greetings -
Folks, I'm looking for a feature that even the cheesy old Windows Movie Maker used to have. I'm trying to figure out how to get Premiere Elements 11 to add a transition between every clip via some shortcut/quick means. I find it obnoxious and inefficient that I need to manually drag a transition between every clip. If I import 200 short clips that I took with my point and shoot camera, it'll take me over an hour alone just to put the transitions in place.
Is there any way to select a transition and have Premiere Elements add it between every clip? I've stumbled on the fact that you can click a transition and make it the "Default" but have not been able to figure out what that does for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Andy

I think trying Edit > Preferences > General > Video Default Transition Duration will fix it. Mine came with 30 frames set at installation.

Transition Between Video Tracks

Is there a way to make a transition between video tracks? Or is it only possible with menu-track and slide-video?
Thanks.

Richard
Using DVDSP transition from track to track won't work the way you want or think it will. Thats not what transition in DVD were designed for. There is no solution. DVD is a linear technology and placing transitions between tracks means the laser of a player must refocus to a different part of the disc as to comes from 1 track to a transition to the second track.
Why not just make 1 track. If thats not an option then you need to re-think the title.

Handling Smooth Transitions in SAP Lumira Chart Extensions

I assume render is the function that does all the drawing logic for a specific Chart Type in VIZ Packer Utility. How do we handle any updates to the Data and do a smooth transition from the initialized State of the Chart to a final State as defined by Data.
Currently I see render function as to Initialize SVG and implement some code that would display the Chart with initial Data.
-- When the Data gets updated - I don't want to call render function which initializes my SVG again
Is there a different function that makes use of the SVG that was initialized in render function and then apply updates to it that would create a smooth transition from Initial to Final State.

Hi,
I believe your question has been answered in your duplicate post here: http://scn.sap.com/community/lumira/blog/2014/06/28/cool-chart-extensions-demonstrated-at-lumira-codejam-vancouver#comment-502992
In summary, You need to use VizPacker to package the extensions, then deploy those extensions to C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\extensions\ . this process is covered in detail in the supporting documentation SAP Lumira SDK (Chart extensions). See here: http://help.sap.com/lumira#section4
