Pasting Ken Burns Into Clips Moves clip

This has only happened a few times. To save time, I paste the ken burns attributes into multiple selected clips. I use the paste attributes command. At times when I to that the clip itself is moved out of the visible movie frame. I have only noticed this with FCP X 10.1. Yes I can work around this but I was just wondering.

How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

Hi.
I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
load the requested content and return to the stage.
The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
and then returns to the stage.
I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
"contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
error message:
quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
If I switch
"contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
"contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
external SWF doesn't move with the window.
How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's

Hi,
Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
communication with the said swf file:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onComplete);
function onComplete(event:Event):void
event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
will have an answer ;)
Kind Regards,

How do you combine two or more movie clips into one movie clip in iMovie '09

First create an iMovie project. Then drag the clips (or portions of clips) that you need into the project.
When finished, use the SHARE menu to share the project.

How to load swf into a movie clip?

i have an swf file i want to load into a movie clip within my
flash file, i think im supposed to use loadmovie () instead of
loadmovienum, can anyone help me out? thanks

loadMovie("X",Y);
Where x is: the url of the swf file you want to load.
Where y is: the name of the movieclip you want to load it
into. You must give the movieclip an instance name.
For example, if I wanted to load '1.swf' into a movieclip
with an instance name of "loaderclip," my code would be:
loadMovie("1.swf", loaderclip);

Can I undo the Ken Burns effect for all clips at once (instead of pulling up each clip individually)?

Yes, you can select multiple clips then Adjust, Crop, click on "Fit".

I am trying to insert a cut photo into a movie clip. the cutaway photo appears above the clip and cuts away when you move the curser across it, but does not show the cutaway when in playback. What am I missing?away

I am trying to insert a cutaway photo into a movie clip. The cuaway photo appears over the clip and will appear in the clip when you manually moce the curser across it, but will not appear in the clip during playback. What am I missing?

Try using the SHARE menu to share your movie in the sizes you need. It should work on the shared copy.
Another thing to try would be to restart your Mac so you have fresh memory.

How do I adjust Ken Burns Default when importing Clips?

Creating a slide show in iMovie and dragged a large number of jpeg photos in as clips. iMovie proceeded to render them all with the Ken Burns effect. Unfortunately, the end product displays the zoomed in close up. And it's zoomed to the max (5.00). Consequently, I can't really see what's in the clip.
How can I manage this? Would be very happy if the Ken Burns effect wasn't applied until I brought the clip into the Timeline.
Thanks!

Good news! I solved this problem but through a variation of the suggestions offered in this thread.
First, I went to the MEDIA panel, -> PHOTOS, -> iPhoto and clicked the arrow down. This gave me access to the entire library of photos I have accumulated for the last year which, thankfully, is not large as I am new to digital photography. I then referred to the iMovie Clip line for the Photo id# assigned by my camera and searched for the corresponding number in the original photo in iPhoto I had imported to the iMovie Clips panel.
Second, finding the photo on my timelime for which I wanted to remove the "Ken Burns" effect, I chose the original in the iPhoto library and selected SHOW PHOTO SETTINGS. (After that first photo, the "Ken Burns settings dialog" appears by default for each subsequent photo.)
Third, I turned the Ken Burns settings off and selected APPLY. This closed the settings window and inserted the revised photo AFTER the last photo on the iMovie timeline.
Finally, I selected the last photo added to the timeline. I then "cut and pasted" this new photo sans the Ken Burns affect to the appropriate place in the timeline.
This was a fairly lengthy pain-in-the-butt process but it worked for me.
There were no issues related to storage or file format as the photos came directly from my Canon Powershot camera directly to iPhoto.
Thanks for your interest. Hope this helps others.

Ken Burns effect for video clips

I like how you can pan a photo using ken burns in final cut pro x. Is there a way to do the same feature in video? I'd love a simple way to move around within a video clip without having to film using a slider.

I wonder if it would work better when video cams start outputting 4k.
Not really, not if you edit in a 4k project. It's becoming more common to shoot large frame formats and edit in 1080p, allowing you to reframe the shot. Personally I think that's just lazy, but I'm then one film camera old school.

Finding the width of a JPEG loaded into a movie clip

I will be loading a page of bio information. Next to the
person's photo (photos will vary in width) I want to put a column
of buttons about 20 pixels to the right of the photo. So after I
load the photo into an empty movie clip, I'm trying to get the
width of the photo in order to figure out the x position of the
buttons next to it. Here is what I have:
myImage = "images/" + _level0.images[link];
loadMovie(myImage,image_mc);
// JPEG loads okay into image_mc //
trace("image_mc._x = " + image_mc._x);
// I get "Image_mc._x = 393" as expected //
trace("myImage._width = " + myImage._width);
// I get "image_mc._width = undefined" //
trace("image_mc._width = " + image_mc._width);
// I get "image_mc._width = 0" //
How do I find the width of the loaded JPEG?

you are probably trying to get the width before the image has
loaded completely.. use the MovieClipLoader class to load the image
into the empty movie clip, then use the onLoadInit event to get the
movie clips's width(which is the images width);
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onLoadInit = function(target:MovieClip):Void{
trace(image_mc._width);
mcLoader.addListener(myListener);
mcLoader.loadClip(myImage, image_mc);

How to break a bitmap into several movie clips

Hello,
I have a bitmap imported into library and need to break it
with ActionScript2.0 into several bitmaps, using a rectangular
grid. The smaller bitmaps have to become movie clips so they can be
animated further.
The resulting animation should be: bitmapped picture breaks
into tiles which fly away...
Possible? Thanks for help

Yes, I want to have an image and break it into tiles at
runtime using AS2.0. Each tile should become a MovieClip so that I
can add some simple code for random movement for each tile. That
way they'll fly away. (later I want to make modifications to make
an opposite effect - tiles fly randomly until they make up a
picture again, or there's room for a bunch of other effects...)

You do Contol > B and break it apart that way and turn

Thanks but that's not it...

Bitmap Font gets blurry when its swf is loaded into a movie clip

I have a gallery i'm working on, located here:
http://www.stationarynotes.com/portfolio/Gallery.html
If you click the first button (the one that looks like a
splattered "S" in black ink) you'll see that my bitmap text gets
rendered all blurry. That swf which is being loaded renders fine
when I test it by itself. The text is positioned with whole numbers
and aligns to the grid within its own swf, and the movie clip which
receives it is also positioned with whole numbers. Do you think
perhaps when it is loaded into another MC it is being pushed off of
the grid somehow...? I'm really confused.
I can post my .flas if that'll help.

bitmap fonts look best when positioned on a whole pixel
number (100.0 instead of 100.4 for example).
If you are loading into an empty clip - try placing that clip
on the nearest whole number. or you
could load the external swf to a level with will position it
at 0,0 (upper left corner of stage).

Buttons in Movie Clips, Movie Clips in Movie Clips

Here goes. I have a scene with a button in the timeline, that
targets a frame in a movie clip, which is essentially the content
area of the layout. this is the code used:
on (release) {
textmov.gotoAndPlay ("challenge");
This works fine and dandy. Now the problem. Within this
"Content" movie clip, i have another movie clip with a button in
it. This clip is designed to tween in then upon clicking a close
button tween out. When I test it the button doesn't have rollovers
like and I can't get it to talk to the clip above it to play the
close tween.

is there any place you could kindly upload the source file
for me to check ?
> Do buttons operate independently of the Movie Clip
timeline they are placed in?
that is correct, button should work independently to movie
clip.
it only react to mouse upon entering the HIT state (which is
invisible to user)
and stops reacting once the mouse is off that state.
> I have one Movie Clip with a one frame time line, should
a Button symbol work
> it it?
of course it should work...
Try to upload the source, let us check it out for you, spare
you time on guessing :)

Can PDFs be loaded into a movie clip?

I'm trying to make a bit of a digital magazine by taking PDFs
of our print version and loading them into a flash movie where the
user can flip through the pages pretty much like a photo gallery.
Can I do this or will I have to convert them to JPGs and provide
links to download the PDFs if they want to print?

How do i insert cgi into my movie clips?

I have shot a couple scenes and i have downloaded free cgi effects. How do i put these in my movie using iMovie?

I'm not clear exactly what effects these are but iMovie 9 and10 do not support third party plug-ins. You need Final Cut Pro which accepts Motion template plugins.

Can i add a special character i.e. arrows into a movie clip?

in imovie under edit it says special characters..i want to add some arrows to a video but not sure if can..anyone know? thanks

you could 'abuse' a special character as ➔ ↪ ➪ ☞ to create a 'pointer' although iM has no free positionable 'Text' feature.
it's much easier to use the 'transparent png'-method discribed here, incl. some free pointers (and circles) in many colors:
