Possible to bend a text line?

Hi! Is there a way to animate a bend of a text line? I have tried a bunch of distortion tools in AE but non work like I want to. I suspect that this could be done with some sort of type on path and the animate the path. Any example would be great pointing me in the right direction.
Regards / Jimmy

Remember my first post. Make your text layer, draw a mask, set some keyframes, attach the text to the path.
Here's two screenshots. Took longer to figure out how to spell your text than to do the animation.
You should be able to figure it out. I actually created a circular mask first, selected 2 points, then selected open in the mask options (right click the mask in the timeline) then deleted one other point to give me a perfect semi circle. I then set a keyframe, moved to a spot earlier in the timeline and edited the curve to form a straight line with 3 points.
Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to extract the text and images using PHP

    Hi friends,
    Is it possible to extract the text and images using PHP, in the same order as it is in the PDF?
    Else is it possible extract the same as XML using PHP, or ASP
    I googled it but its in vain, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Mike,
    Thanks for your quick reply,
    I mean is it possible to parse the PDF line by line using the PHP.
    I extracted the whole text but couldn't the images. Since the PDF's images are decoded using various methods like DCTDecode, JPXDecode, etc.
    The text is decoded with FlateDecode, which i breaked using a function in PHP.
    Thanks,

  • Add/Remove Text Lines FCPX

    In FCPX, with the title design called "Winner's Circle" it is set at default to have 5 text lines. I only need 2 text lines for this title. The amount of text lines determines how many times "winner's circle" repeats the animation. It is repeating it's animation 3 times where there is no text content needed. How do I add or Remove a text line? Is this feature possible?
    I've attempted cutting and shortening the clip where I want it to stop animating; it'll persist for another 3 times no matter what the duration is. 
    Option F will not allow me to make a freeze frame of the motion title graphic called "Winner's Circle". Is there another way to make a freeze frame other than taking a screen shot? With this option, I would be able to add another video layer with the freeze frame of "winner's circle" above this same clip while the animation would repeat 3 more times unnecessarily--in order to disguise it...  
    I've attempted to troubleshoot with keyframes... I need "winner's circle" to cross dissolve with another clip, not gradually fade to black.  
    Thanks!  

    I'm the one that's sorry! You are a brave soul. Most come here too timid to try most things out - you're already slogging around in the guts of a fairly sophisticated template (difficulty points due to 3D orientation and behavior animation of material.) I guestimated your abilities based on such.
    My modified suggestions:
    1) you will not need to clone anything [save cloning for another day ]
    2) Find the Text Layers Group
    3) Delete the 2nd through 5th "INFORMATION" text layers (in order of appearance - top to bottom)
    4) Delete the 2nd through 5th Ramp behaviors (at the top of the "folder" -- in order of appearance... etc.)
    You should be left with one "INFORMATION" and when played, the wheel should spin and stop with the text in the correct location. 
    Select the Text "Information" layer and under the canvas in the timeline, click and drag the right edge out all the way to the right. This will keep the text "on" the rest of the length of the template.
    Play again and make sure the "Information" stays on screen for the entire length of the template.
    Click on the time clock icon under the canvas so that the clock hands read quarter past 12 then double click on the time and type "5." (number 5 plus a period) + enter (set the length of the template to 5 seconds.)
    With the Information text layer still selected, Command - D (duplicate the layer - you should now have an INFORMATION copy layer.) [both of these text layers will be independently editable in FCPX (that includes Fonts and size, etc...)
    For the duplicate layer:
    In the inspector > Properties, try these coordinates to start:
    X: 486
    Y: -1195
    Z: 23
    Rotation:
    X: 0
    Y: 0
    Z: 78
    Scale:
    X: 95
    Y: 170
    Z: 85
    Shear:
    X: -24
    Y: -9
    [You can play with any of these settings to get the "look" you prefer -- I was just trying to "match" the design somewhat -- and it's a bit of a guess...]
    Go to the Text > Format inspector. At the bottom of the column to the right of the word "Text" - when you pass the mouse over the region, a disclosure triangle will appear -- click it and select Publish from the dropdown.
    To publish colorizing elements:
    Select the Gradient > Gradient layer  (bottom of the list -- if it looks like two blue squares, open up that group and select the "generator" icon (ultra miniature monitor looking thing with a test pattern).  In the Generator inspector > Gradient, right click on the word Gradient (just over the color bar) and select publish from the dropdown.
    Right OVER the gradient folder, the bottom item of the Text Layers folder, select "Rectangle" (just under Replicator.)  In the Inspector: Shape > Style > Fill section, click on the word gradient just over the color bar (again) and select publish.
    One more thing:
    Drag the playhead to the 2 second mark under the canvas. Click anywhere in the layer's list that's NOT on any item (that is - deselect any and all items in that list.)  Type the tilde key (or accent grave key, however you look at it) -- that will add a marker. Immediately type Command-Option M , which calls up the Edit Marker dialog. In the Type section, select Build In Mandatory... then OK.
    Save the project.
    You now have a 1 Score (Winner/Loser/Tie) winner's circle template. Use a new instance for each score in the storyline.  You can trim the template or drag it out in time in FCPX -- the animation at the beginning will always play with exactly the same speed.
    PS - an oddity is occuring with my copy: the lower Information text is ending up under the upper text (like a drop shadow) and repositioning in Motion makes no difference -- if that happens to yours, just double click on the "under" text and "slide it out" to where it belongs (in FCPX).
    Anyway, it should look a little like this (at around the 2 second mark):
    For completeness: if you need "subtitle" lines, these can be accomplished in FCPX. Type a return at the end of the title and continue with a second line. Select only the second line in the text box (text tab of the inspector) and resize the font (restyle it any way you like actually...) You shouldn't need to add extra lines to what you already have (in the Motion template). Also, if you need to get rid of one or the other -- select the text of it, and type in a space character (why a space? So you have something to double click on in the canvas if you need to find it again.)

  • Text lines in the BW query variables screen

    Hi gurus.
    The bw users ask me to display some text lines in the BW query variables prompt.
    The text lines are saved in a custom table.
    The only idea that I've got is to use customer exit text variables and fill them in CMOD when I_step = 1.
    I don't like this solution (I should have more the 10 text lines and so I have to mantain more than 10 Text variables) but I can't find any other solution.
    Any new idea or solution?
    Is there in Bex enviroment a functionality (that I don't know) for doing somenthing like this ?
    Thanks fo any help.
    S.

    Hi,
    to resolve it you should create all the prompts in the BW query. You are using a query with 2 parameters and then a dynamic list of values. the dynamic list of values can only work after you entered the other values.

  • Sales Order Text Lines in SAP Query

    I have a requirement to output several text lines into a SAP query based around sales orders.
    I have included some code to read the details into my query and get no syntax errors, however the report gives a blank output for each of the text fields included, despite there definitely being some text with the specified attribute ID and text object in the table STXL.
    Where am I going wrong?

  • How to create a subtotal or text line in a service sales order ?

    Hi ,
    is there a way to add text line in sales order for service ? when we switch from item sales order to service sales order , the "type" column disappear , and we can not create line other than service line . we use B12007A SP01 PL07
    i've not seen this limitation in the B1 help . is it a setup problem ? or is it impossible to add those lines to service sales order ?
    thanks for help
    regards

    Hi,
    This is not setup problem this is limitation you cannot add line as text or subtotal using type option in service order like item type order. If you want to add text for your service line you can do this through linewise  udf.

  • InDesign CS3 - Is it possible to thread anchored text across pages?

    New to InDesign. Just learned about anchored objects. Have anchored text that is longer than the text it refers to. Text exists in the first column and would like for text to thread to the first column on the next page.

    I don't think so. As you have it now, the callout stays with the line the object is anchored to, and it doesn't break and continue at the end of a page -- which is a problem when your callout line is near or at the bottom of the page.
    I don't suppose you could create separate anchored frames for each of the text lines in the callout ... It would work for a while, but you would run into problems when editing -- you cannot easily edit a single callout as the frames are not threaded, and if two of these objects end up on the same line in the original text thread, they would appear on top of eachother.
    Any of the other guys & gals out there with a good idea?
