Question about how to make a background fade

I have a square with some background image / color. I want
the background to be at 100 % at the top if the square, fading as I
look down and at the very bottom I want the background to fade into
white (or if not possible white, then transparent). Thank you for
your help, I appreciate it!

Pull up the help file in Fireworks and type in Gradients.
> Applying
gradient and pattern fills.
That will explain how to do it.

  • Round trip workflow with proxies between Premiere and AE / a more general question about how these programs work?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to editing with proxies in Premiere and have some questions about how to handle the relationship with After Effects. Say I have a rough cut (with proxies) and I want to send it to AE to do some effects. The simplest thing to do seems to be to replace the proxies with the originals in Premiere, send the project to AE and do my thing. But if I then want to send the project back to Premiere, it will involve the original files, which are too machine-intensive for me to edit. In theory, it seems like there should be a way to send the project with original footage to AE, do effects, send it back to Premiere, and then replace it with proxies to do further editing while retaining the effects.
    This leads to a confusion about how AE works. When I do an effect, am I correct in assuming that it does nothing to the original file? If that's the case, it seems like it shouldn't matter (in the editing stage) what file AE "applies" an effect to (proxy or original). But I feel like there's a hitch in this workflow. The same question could also be asked about going back and forth in Speed Grade.
    Perhaps there is no real answer to this and the best option is to save effects and grading for after I have picture lock, but sometimes that's not entirely possible or convenient, etc.
    Hopefully this makes some sense—It's a little hard to explain.
    Thanks.

  • A few questions about how ZPM works.

    We have patch management (in ZCM 11.2.2), but honestly don't use it much. I have a few questions about how it works that might make me use it more, if I understand it more.
    If I deploy a patch (or a set of patches), it creates a bundle for that deployment. That bundle seems to include actions that deploy the actual patch bundles (correct?). Do I have to recreate a new deployment bundle every time I want to push a new patch? i.e. If I push a Java update, and a month later, a new one comes out, do I build out a new bundle with the new patch in it, or do I modify the old one?
    Once the patch is deployed, can I safely delete that deployment bundle, or should they just pile up?
    Is there a way to "auto-approve" patches? Lets say I always want a group of machines to have the latest Adobe Flash Player patches. Can I set up ZPM to automatically cache and push the latest patches for a specific product, or do I have to manually remediate each patch? (I'm thinking of how MS's WSUS does "auto-approval")
    I see most packages aren't cached in list, but occasionally, a patch is cached without me touching it. Why? Can I change what gets automatically cached?
    Thanks for any help/answers you can provide.

    For #1, (assuming you're not using baselines), you would check the new version of the patch (vulnerability) and do a new deployment.
    #2 - once you're satisified that the machines are deployed (or the best to your ability) you can delete the DEPLOYMENT package. It doesn't delete the actual vulnerability bundles to my knowledge. That's why it's a good idea to name your bundle deployments with something meaningful, IMO (and maybe include a nice desription).
    #3 - currently I don't believe this is possible. I know you can probably configure it to auto-download the patches, but not auto-deploy everything. Given the propensity for software to wreck other things (hello MS .NET patches), this is probably not a good idea. At least I'd never auto-download and auto-deploy any patches without testing them first, and certainly take my servers a little more cautiously than my workstations.
    #4 - I think you can configure what's cached, but I could be wrong.
    I know there's a lot of improvements coming in the pipeline, and it doesn't hurt to "vote" for your enhancements via the enhancement system (more work for Shaun--haha)

  • HT203909 Why can't you provide specific instructions here about how to make the USB drive bootable?  The article referenced is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options.  How do you make it bootable?

    Why can't you provide specific instructions here in HT203909 (Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD) about how to make the USB drive bootable?  The article referenced for partitioning the drive is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options.  How do you make it bootable?

    If your BC Assistant shows the option to create a USB Installer, it automatically is marked as bootable. There is no need to have manual intervention to make a bootable USB. Once the process is manually modified, it is supported by the person modifying it.
    You have two or three options (depending on your Mac Model).
    1. Create USB... - Use a USB2 flash drive, which is erased and formatted. If your Mac supports ISOs then BCA will prompt for the Media. Any Mac which does not have a built-in Optical drive will support an ISO. There are specific Mac models which support both, DVD and USB based installation.
    2. Download Software from Apple servers...
    3. Install Windows...
    Are any additional instructions really necessary?

  • Can you make the background fade in?

    I know you can do slide transition> Fade In, but that includes all objects. I can select individual objects and make them fade in as well.
    Is there a way to make the background fade ONLY.

    Sabrina

    The background IS transparent, or, to look at another way, there is no background unless you create one. If you go to View>Show Transparency Grid, it's easier to see a what has a white fill or stroke and what does not.

  • Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video?

    Good morning,
    Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video in Garageband. I have been looking around at the different sounds and music in Garageband but I have not been able to find anything that would go with the video.
    Here is an example of a Tai chi video if you were wondering
    http://youtu.be/a6pJf2otwv8
    I want to create something like this for a video I did for a fitness gym for a Yoga instructor and Tai Chi instructor.
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Brandon,
    you will not have to do any importing in GarageBand. Intalling Mainstage will extent GarageBands Loop Library and Instruments Library.
    After you installed MainStage the additional loops and Instruments will show in GarageBand just like all other Loops. you will simply see more loops.
    For example:
    or:

  • Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
    I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”…  If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
    Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
    Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
    What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

  • PSE3, how to make white background for silouette

    I have taken a few pics of my grandkids in silouette form. That is, profile shots taken against window with snowy background. I've done a conversion to B/W, but need to darken it further. My main question is, how do I put a selection on a pure white background? Barbara, I have your book, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Do you have specific pages to look at? I know how to make a decent selection, but that's about it! Thanks.

    Donna,
    1. Make selection of silhouette
    2. Go to Edit>copy
    3. Go to File>new>Blank file> Color Mode:RGB. Background contents:White. Size H&W for your paper stock.
    4. Go to Edit>paste.
    5. Position selection with move tool.

  • Some questions about how to change scenes

    i have something like the following:
    fxml (view/main/MainMenu.fxml):
    <Scene fx:controller="view.main.CtrlMainMenu" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" stylesheets="view/main/main.css">
        <GridPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" alignment="center" id="backgorund" hgap="10" vgap="10">
            <!--other panes -->
            <VBox spacing="8" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="1">
                <Button text="Start" onAction="#Start"/>
                <Button text="Options" onAction="#Options"/>
                <Button text="Exit" onAction="#Exit"/>
            </VBox>
        </GridPane>
    </Scene>main loop (cotroller/main.java):
    public class main extends Application{
        public static void main(String[] args){
            launch(main.class, args);
        public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception{
            stage.setTitle(CtrlLanguage.get(CtrlLanguage.TITLE));
            CtrlMainMenu main = new CtrlMainMenu();
            Scene scene = main.main();          //don't know how to make Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml")); work on here since MainMenu.fxml is in view/main while the main class is in controller and ended up putting CtrlMainMenu in the view although is not very correct
            stage.setScene(scene);
            stage.setWidth(1080);
            stage.setHeight(720);
            stage.show();
    }view controller (view/main/CtrlMainMenu.java):
    public class CtrlMainMenu{
        //other buttons actions
        public Scene main() throws Exception{
            return (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml"));
        @FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event){
        @FXML protected void Options(ActionEvent event){
        @FXML protected void Exit(ActionEvent event){
            System.exit(0);          //is there any other way to finish the program than using a system.exit?
    }got few questions currently:
    1. i'd like to be able to keep using CtrlMainMenu for other buttons while the ones that appear there go to the main (since will be reusing those classes from other scenes)
    tried adding fx:controller on panes instead of the scene, but it doesnt work at all (it crashes) else directly in CtrlMainMenu change the scenes of the stage, but then, i have to send the stage to every controller i use? (or how do i know the stage of the scene?)
    and in the case of options, i'd like after done, go back to the previous scene, is that possible? if so, how?
    2.if i want to implement languages, how do i do to change the text? tried with setText() but depending on where do i put it, it crashes, so dont know where do i have to put it
    3.im doing a game that may have different number of players, so, is there some way to erase/hide/add data from a gridpane with fxml?

    1. ok, found the way to change scenes, with this way:
    @FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event) throws Exception{
         Node node = (Node)event.getSource();
         Stage stage = (Stage)node.getScene().getWindow();
         Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("../view/main/MainMenu.fxml"));     //this is just an example, will change to go to another scene
         stage.setScene(scene);
         stage.show();
    }but now i have another problem, when i click on the button the stage scene is changed, but the scene is transformed to a very small one at the top left (the size seems the same as when i dont put the set width/height on the stage when creating it), the stage size remains the same, and when i resize the window, it gets "repaired"
    the options, i thought on using a pane over the current pane so this way instead of going back would be just removing that new pane, would that work well?
    2. found about languages that is by using <Label text="%myText"/> and java.util.ResourceBundle but don't know how to use it, can someone provide me an example, please?
    3. still haven't looked on it...

  • How to make 2D background in 3D project?

    Hello guys,
    I have a 3D group which has one object in it. (text) I want this text spin in 3D therefore I have add a camera and applied a sweep behavior to it. It moves nicely in 3D space, exactly as I want.
    Then I need some background, so I create a new group, make it 2D and place it as a bottom layer.
    I choose a background image from my library and place in into this new group.
    But ..... background now spins exactly the same way as my text. It does not stay as a background, but becomes just another object moving together with the text.
    Since I did make this new group 2D, how could this happened?
    Any advise how I can make the background stay still (or move it separately from the text?
    Thank you so much.

    Sound like you might have accidentally created your 2D group inside your 3D group - it has to be at the root level.

  • How to make a background image appear to grow slowly as text happens front

    How do I make a background image which is simply a static image of Earth in space "seem to grow closer" by just slowly enlarging the image as text appears in front of it? Can't seem to find anything intuitive on how to accomplish this. I'm sure it's simple but I just can't seem to wrap my brain around it.

    Double click your image to load it into the viewer. On the top of the viewer are 3 tabs, select the one that says "Motion." Inside of this tab you can animate any video or still image. For what you are wanting to do the Scale option will be the place to start. I think Scale is pretty self-explanatory, but just in case...click the keyframe button and type in a number for the scale (like 90). Scrub down a bit with the playhead and type in a new number next to scale (like 175). A new keyframe is created and you have yourself a zoom in.

  • Question about how the Robocopy /B switch works...

    I've been experimenting with robocopy recently, and most switches seem self explanatory for the most part; although I have a question about the /B switch.
    The help says the following:
    /B :: copy files in Backup mode.
    I've checked multiple forums and websites to try and elaborate on this a little more, and from my understanding this switch enables backup mode that essentially gives the ability to change the acls of a file/folder when the account running robocopy does
    not have sufficient privileges, to perform a successful copy.
    My question is, when the acls are changed when using this "backup mode" switch, with the /copyall switch, will the file still retain the same user access that it originally had - or does it change all of the security settings?
    I'm hoping it will somehow change the security settings, create a copy, and retain the same acls as the original - so users can still access necessary files.
    Can someone please explain how this "backup mode" works?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is a very useful thread with a lot of hostility in it.
    I have to agree with Jonathan and hazymat: there are few other forums that will discuss the exact function of /b switch, the TechNet article just says "copies in Backup Mode" (I have the article bookmarked), and when doing a google search, THIS page comes
    up as the top result! Kinda difficult to tell people they should go search, when you are the exact destination of that search, isn't it? ;)
    No offense to anybody working hard to help out here, but this is why sites like Stack Exchange will overshadow every traditional tech forum very soon. More concise question/answer format, more civil, and they actually encourage old questions developing new
    answers! All q&a is cataloged for future reference. Their focus is on being a 'resource'.
    The negativity here is unfortunate, you guys have great potential to be a very helpful resource for people. Who are you trying to be, the guys with all the answers, or the guys who say "get out of here, your answer isn't in here. Go search for it."?
    Regardless, many thanks to jrv! for helping me with my robocopy batch SCRIPT which I just used to create an automated backup! Take care boys. And yes, I just bumped your old-old thread.
    Unfortunately I think you miss the point.  RoboCopy is an application.  It is not a script.  This is a scripting forum.  Many people come here nd never read the forum guidelines and do not ask script related questions.
    The /b switch is documented in RoboCopy help.  Of course it assumes the reader is a trained Windows tech and knows what backup mode is.  It is used by nearly all backup software when backing up a live system..
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
