Photoshop animation to .mov?

I am getting Carrara. There's no question. Just don't know if I'm getting 3D Basics for fifty bucks or Carrara 5 for like, eighty. My question is, can I somehow convert a photoshop file that I created and animated into a QT movie? I don't think this is something I would ever use, but I had to see if I could do it. I just made about 25 text layers, each one a couple points bigger than the last and animated it in Photoshop. It plays, of course, quite jerkily, but I can't save it as a movie. There's an export>video preview thing that tries to send it to a "device." But there is no device connected. What device? I don't have any devices...I gave them all up when I started going to church!

Compose the images as 720x480 (you are using NTSC, right?). If you want 4:3, you might want to set Photoshop pixel aspect ratio to 4320:4739 = ~0.912.

Oh, and remember to avoid illegal colors for NTSC. Also avoid any 1 pixel thin lines because they tend to flicker on a TV. Video likes to be slightly blurred.
Then convert the image sequence to .dv with the desired frame rate with QT Player Pro and import that to iMovie.

Animated Gif Movie

Hi !
I have a question. Can somebody tell me how I can create an animated gif movie in photoshop ?

Animated Gif/movie not following build order

Animated Gif/movies do not build in proper order.
For example, I have an animated clock that is suppose to come in as Build No 29
and run. However, it loads as though it is Build item No 1.
It does run at the proper time in the build.
Must I hide it with color or other tricks. The problem is it shows immediately as the
slide builds and looks hideous.

Never-mind. I have it working properly now.

Can armatures be made into nested animation (symbol/movies)?

1) Can armatures be made into nested animation (symbol/movies)?
I made a dragon character and animated the body with the amature(bone tool) in flash cs5. I was having trouble trying get it to become a nested animation and make it into a symbol/movie. I heard you are suppose to select all the animated frames using EDIT> TIMELINE>COPY FRAMES, then pasting the animated frames into new symbol/movie. I have no luck with that, the menu becomes dimmed out from copying the frame...I'm not sure if nesting animations with amatures is possible? Any ideas? Thanks.
I was planning to get the body into nested animation, then attached seperate movie with flagging wings along a guide path.
2) Second question. I don't know why flash cs5 is exporting it's animation a lot differently from gif to swf. In the gif format it doesn't show the nest animation. Here's an example. The wings on the dragon animate fine in swf format but when converted to gif. The wings don't move.

It's very interesting -- there's some bug in the file -- even if some layers are not visible, when I double-click the text layer you are supposed to edit (the Symbol), other layers with text start to appear...
Not sure what's causing this. I would suggest to log a bug here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
...explain the steps and attache the PNG.
And if you break the Symbol apart (select it > Modify > Symbol > Break apart) and then try to edit the text, all works normally as expected. Use this as a workaround -- I don't have a better suggestion for now...
I have made the tests with Fw CS5...

Merge/concatenate animation codec movie files in the command line/shell

We know how to join 2 mp4/h264 movies together in the command line/shell via MP4Box.
We have not been able to find a similar tool for joining to Quicktime Animation codec movie together via command line/shell.
Anyone know how to do that of have suggestions?
thanks,
paul

Hi,
I'm also having trouble with this same issue. I've been trying to change the Quicktime Default Setting to 10-bit uncompressed (btw codec works fine out directly out of QT and other apps), or to use the command line to do quick renders of tiff frame sequences to QT 10-bit. I think its a problem with my syntax on the command line. As per the manual I set up a fileout in a script with 10-bit as the codec, opened the script in Textedit and followed the instructions on p393, and dropped it into the include/startup directory. Below is a copy of the Textedit view of the script output settings. Also, If I want to use these settings the command line what should I change? The quotation marks, commas etc?
"QuickTime", "Shake 3 QT 1", "Apple FCP Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2",
0, "100W@c6000WDcsuHpoe10pFnKA6W230PPMMRH#0LgfI5ALV1EaKGn3DG3214QaPb03SeOBPg00K1bY AESIIW0KAbabF7YWOQan8401v6QvQehFnRYIBt9be1B4AEjYA6ci8YmM#IKXCg5aRMZC2MXBM0Ani04w HAJLmBrQ97MtegeEEO9d5oBoxCgv7GNhEOvai8INwFwb2roIf91bvbr040HAK4IYCW0",
0, 44100, 16);
I get the same message returned in Terminal:
error: - NRiCompressor - corrupted input data (length)
The QuickTime codec specified in the global default could not be selected. The system default codec will be selected.
So it renders to Animation. Something else I found was that the example on p393 in the manual is for 10-bit uncompressed - so I tried copying it right off the page, into Textedit, and into the include/startup dir - still no joy.
Can anyone shed any light on the matter?

Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

Flash Animations and Movies are lagging after having played a flash game which was graphics intense heavy and frequently refreshed which caused lags, how can I fix this lagging problem for Flash?

On June 30th, I was playing a game called Lil Einstein's Manhattan project over at Newgrounds.com and the game although fine at first, later on in the advanced levels of the game, started to cause my browser to lag intensely and heavily. Now, when I try and watch other flash movies and animations, the flash doesn't run as smoothly, there are skips in the flash animations and movies, and it slows down.
I tried scan disks, I tried defragmenting my computer, I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.. Nothing worked to restore the Flash.
But when I view Flash movies and animations on Internet Explorer, they run fine... but not anymore on Firefox.
Other Firefox users who have played this game also reported problems as well..
How can I fix my Firefox Browser and return the Flash running to normal?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== June 30th, 2010

If you have already scanned PC with an updated Anti-Virus and still the issue exists then I would suggest some troubleshooting techniques to resolve this problem:
Update browser
Remove unwanted Add-ons
Remove unwanted Tool-bars
Repair Registry
Repair ActiveX objects and shared DLLs
In case of facebook and Zynga I would suggest to Check for Problems with your Internet Connection.Try to Update Java and Reduce the Number of Running Internet Applications.
Sometimes Multimedia content lag due to Hardware Acceleration, so disabling Hardware Acceleration should fix your problem.
Open Flash Video in browser
Right click on Video Player | Settings
Open Display Panel
Uncheck Enable Hardware Acceleration
If issue still exists then you can find some more techniques described in detail here:

Photoshop animated smart object to Flash??

Hey All,
I could use a little help here, I am working on this project for a company and they need it to be animated. I tried using Photoshop's animation capabilities, but could only go so far with that. So I'm working on it in flash now. I have managed to import the scene I was working on in Photoshop to flash, but I can't seem to figure how to get the animated smart object (with a screen layer blending mode) to come across in flash. I'm sure there is some super simple way of doing this, but I can't think of one. I've got years of experience with Photoshop, but little time with Flash.
When I import the PSD file to Flash I am selecting the animated smart object layer as "Bitmap image with editable layer styles" selected, and have it also selected to be a movie clip. But it only shows up as a static layer without the screen blending like it was in Photoshop. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Paul

Paul you may want to ask this question over in the AI forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/illustrator its audience may have more experience then this forum's audience with Illustrator and Photoshop combo many here only use Photoshop. I for example have no idea what you mean when you write a spot color.

Masks and Photoshop animation

Hello all,
I am have an issue creating an effect as a frame by frame animation using masks. I have been assigned a logo animation with a lower thirds by my art director. I am not working on After Effects because my knowledge of AE is zilch. I am fairly new to trying out Photoshop's video capabilities, but my ultimate goal is to export my animation as a transparent .MOV file for the video editor to overlay the logo over an interview video they are producing. Because it needs to be overlayed, my .MOV has to be transparent. I have figured out how to export my file with an alpha transparency just fine, but my issue is in the animation part.
The idea behind the logo animation is to have the letters reveal one by one. Imagine a script font with the words My Logo- I was thinking of masking the layer with the logo on it and revealing each letter one by one by painting the letters with white. Therefore, I created my first frame (I'm on the frame-by-frame dialog by the way), and my logo is completely hidden by the mask on the 1st frame. I create a second frame and I begin painting my letters one by one as I add more frames. The problem when I try to do this is that when I begin revealing my logo on the 2nd frame, the 1st frame reveals itself! The 1st frame isn't hidden as I had it, but begins revealing itself as I paint the 2nd frame!
This is my fictional logo I am animating:
The first frame shows my logo hidden by a mask with the 1st frame active.
Second frame is created and I begin revealing my letters by painting my mask so that it is recorded on the 2nd frame. ISSUE: The 1st frame, rather than keeping my letters hidden, it is beginning to reveal my letters such as in my 2nd frame!
Anyone have any thoughts on why I can't keep my 1st frame hidden? Any masking animation tutorial links would be most welcomed. Thanks!

You may be better off just creating you logo and animating it like a banner coming onto your image image using tween. Position you logo off screen. then on screen and have Photoshop generate frames between them. Something like the one I did through the clouds a while back in the forum.
I think I just created a layer masks to show the clouds to show through in places. The layes mask was not linked to the layers content so when the logo moved the mask did not. You also be able to have your logo not move and have photoshop do the tween where you move the layer mask and leave the logo in place. So you logo goes from hidden to being revealed by a moving black mask off the logo. I do know if Photoshop would generate the mask coming onto the canvas as white when you move the black area off the logo.
Yes worked fine single text layer with a layer mask that was moved off text and tween used so Photoshop would generate mask between the two. I used a white background none is needed. Gif support 256 colors one can be transparent however partial tranparency a like drop shows would be done by deterring and not be partrial transparency.

How Do I Open A Photoshop Animation in InDesign?

Hi guys -
I made some animations in Photoshop, and I'd like to open them in InDesign so I can put them into the Folio Producer. I am making a digital publication, and must use Folio Producer, but don't know how to import my animations to it. I don't know if this is making any sense, but if someone could offer the least bit of help, I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks!

Your options are either to export to a movieclip (like mp4), or as an image sequence. Choose File > Export > Render Video

Import sequence of frames into photoshop animation...ready to play.

Hi guys, is there any way to get a sequence of frames into Photoshop and have the layer visibility set up to play straight away ?
What I mean is, I'm using Bridge to import ....Tools > Photoshop > Load Files into Photoshop layers, and was wondering if the frame visibility could be automatically set to play the animation.
Currently all the layers come in visible and I have to "Alt" click the layer visiblity in each frame....can be a pita with large anims.
It would be cool if I imported frames 1 to 50 and PS set them up to play in order as imported.
thanks

It is....and one until now I wasn't aware of
Many thanks.

Animating in movie clips

I have 6 movie clip symbols on my timeline and each movie clip symbol has a short animation contained within itself. When I bring it to the timeline, they all animate simultaneously. I want them play sequentially but when I play them in on different layers in different keyframes it doesn't work.
Any idea how to make this work?
Thanks!

Pretty much anything is possible, just need to get the intentions straight. The answer to my question would seem to be that you want only one showing at any time. How you go about coding this depends on which version of actionscript you're using, but here's the general plan for one approach...
In the last frame of each animation except the last one, add code telling the parent timeline to move to the next frame...
In AS2 that could be: _parent.nextFrame();
In AS3 that could be: MovieClip(parent.nextFrame();
Then place each moivelcip on the main timeline, one frame after the other.

How to i resize animation in movie?

Hi, I'm trying to import animations I made in photoshop into my imovie, however when I import them they are stretched horizontally, and I can't figure out for the life of me how to make them look normal. Help!!

md1983 wrote:
.. my animation is _a square format_, but imovie wants to make it fill the screen. ..
sure, iM is for _video formats_, which reads as 4:3 or 16:9, not 1:1 (=square).
you have two options:
re-create in Photo shop the animation: just set the 'working space' to the new aspect ratio (= which will add 'bars' left/right); if the animation has a plain background, at the color of existing background to new 'empty' backspace.
or...
use tools as QTpro to add 'bars' l/r to your existing video export...

Animating a movie file using vectors

Hey,
I'm trying to do what i do with a bitmap image to a movie

vectors and makes it look all animated and such. I would like to do

to do that in flash, if not, what program should i be using? thank

One frame at the time, unfortunately. Perhaps using FLJS you
could write a commend
to do multiple frames at the time but not all frames will use
same setting and you
might end up redoing the setting, wasting more times.
Other programs that trace well , Corel Trace and Adobe
Streamline.
