Question About Parenting Opacity Keyframes

I now know how to parent Opacity keyframes. I create an expression on the child layer's Opacity, and pick-whip to the Opacity of the parent layer. (I only learned this after someone in this forum explained it to me in detail.)
But...
...is it possible to create an expression where, if one layer's Opacity is 100%, then a child layer would become 0%? And vice versa, when the parent layer is 0%, then the child layer is 100%?
When layers 3, 5, 7, and 12 in the comp are on, then 4, 8, and 13 need to be off. And vice versa. (And the layers have varying blending modes, in case it matters.)
Thanks!

Sure, simply reverse-remap the values using a linear() expression.
parentOpacity=thisComp.layer("XYZ").transform.opacity;
childOpacity=linear(parentOpacity,0,100,100,0);

  • Question about Parent Child relation at "Define Asset Number" screen

    Hi, all
    I suppose that while I assign a parent asset to an other asset
    "Subinventory" value at the "Location" tab should be disappeared. Namely an asset which is connected to a parent asset
    could not be found in a subinventory
    The problem: While I assign a parent asset to an other asset Subinventory do not disappear.
    could you please help be about this?
    Thank you
    Ceyhun

    Hey JAson,
    Have a look at http://iadviseblog.wordpress.com/category/collections/
    Please mind that in my example I used an old version of apex,
    wwv_flow_collection should be replaced by apex_collections.
    Please refer to the user manual

  • Question about setting opacity in DW Cs6, without using rgba

    Hello,
    I prefer not to use html5/css3 until there are no more windows xp accessing the internet. However, the html5/css3 functions are pretty nifty and I would like to find a ie8 friendly way of doing similar stuff. I would like to set the opacity of my background colors between my <div></div> and not use rgba, but rather hex, but NOT change the text color at all. I would prefer to do it in the css editor rather than hand coding if possible. Is there a way to do this?
    I'm new to the new stuff. Last time I built a site was back in 2007 using Frontpage 2003:)
    Thanks

    Without using rgba, you would be stuck with the opacity atribute if wanted to just use css. The problem with the opacity attribute (and filter for IE) is they affect the entire html element they are applied to and its contents.
    The only way to have a background with some opacity/transparency without using rgba for the background-color attribute is to use what Gramps points out. Create an image in Photoshop, add your color to a new layer, drop the opacity of the layer to the level you want. Remove any background layer (so you have just the checkerboard background with your partially transparent color over the top of it) then save it as a PNG-24.

  • Some questions about Muse

    First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
    The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
    It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html).  I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
    Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
    A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
    The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
    (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident,  moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
    The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but  the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
    I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
    The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
    The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts  (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
    YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
    Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
    On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
    This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
    Is it possible to make an option of  scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
    Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
    I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
    In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
    According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
    The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
    Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
    I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
    and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

    Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
    Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.
    Here is the link to the old forums- http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse

  • Some questions about a Time Capsule

    Hi!!
    I just have a few questions about a Time Capsule, but first let me explain the backgroud to my questions.
    I live in a 2 floor house(including a basement) and my bedroom is downstairs. My parents currently have a desktop PC connected to our wireless router and our printer. Me and my step-father both have 13 inch MacBook Pros, and he uses the Mac like a basic computer, so the equipment connected to our PC is good for him. I, on the other hand, use my Mac, iPad and iPhone to their fullest potential. I am a SUPER MEGA NERD when it comes to computers, so I plan on making my bedroom an amazing office at the same time. So I want an AirPrint Enabled printer in my bedroom (Under 100$$) along with a Time Capsule to back up my information, because everyday I look around in the backdoor of my Mac alot, and if I jack anything up (And I cant handle the problem) I would like to restore my Mac to a previous version. So here are my questions:
    1) My bedroom is right underneath our router, so i get GREAT Wi-Fi in my room. If I get a Time Capsule, can I use it in my room to extend my Wi-Fi, and how would that work? Will it extend my wifi under the same name, because I would like my own Wi-Fi (Titled to what I want with my own password)
    2) If I have to create a NEW Wi-Fi network, how would I do that?
    3) Would I need to connect my new printer directly to my ROUTER, or could I connect it to the TIME CAPSULE?
    If you don't understand what I'm trying to ask (Even though I feel like it's self-explanatory)
    ONE question about the PRINTER: Do any of you have any recommendations for an AirPrint Enabled printer under 100$? Even under-150$ would be okay.
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!

    everyday I look around in the backdoor of my Mac alot, and if I jack anything up (And I cant handle the problem) I would like to restore my Mac to a previous version. So here are my questions:
    Don't just depend on TM.. use a disk image type utility.. either one of the Mac tools, SuperDuper, CCC, Chronosync or even a linux boot cd (if you have a cd/dvd drive still or via usb can boot) a great tool is Clonezilla.. it will do basically any computer, Mac, Linux, Windows.. and since it boots into its own OS can restore a computer in a flash. Then you can add the incremental changes from TM.
    1) My bedroom is right underneath our router, so i get GREAT Wi-Fi in my room. If I get a Time Capsule, can I use it in my room to extend my Wi-Fi, and how would that work? Will it extend my wifi under the same name, because I would like my own Wi-Fi (Titled to what I want with my own password)
    Actually I am surprised you get good wireless as usually directly above or below a router is often the worst spot. Time Capsule cannot extend the wireless of any other router than Apple.. it is a special system and only Apple can join the club. It has bad effect though, if you set the TC to extend wireless it turns off ethernet ports.. which is hugely dumb.
    The best arrangement is ethernet to the upstairs.. or EOP adapters. If not then a wireless router that matches the existing unit will generally be better than mixing apple and non-apple.
    2) If I have to create a NEW Wi-Fi network, how would I do that?
    3) Would I need to connect my new printer directly to my ROUTER, or could I connect it to the TIME CAPSULE?
    You create a new wireless network by selecting manually the wireless channel and use different wireless name, ssid and security. There are 3 available channels on 2.4ghz.. your existing router will use one or two.. depending on if the setting is 20mhz or 40mhz.. so you need to manually set everything and not use auto.
    TC is slow on 2.4ghz cf 5ghz and there are many more channels at 5ghz but not everything can use it.. iphone for instance is 2.4ghz only . whereas ipad can use 5ghz.. most full computers now can use 5ghz.
    Buy a wireless network printer. Or alternatively an ethernet network would be also ok but now are more expensive than wireless ones. Network printers are not much more than straight USB and work much better.
    I do not use airprint so have nothing to offer.. find the best HP model in your budget.. but others may have had more experience.. I use ethernet connected b/w laser business type HP.. they work great.. but airprint is too recent an innovation for me.

  • Question About Color's and Gradients

    Hi all,
    I have a question about color swatches and gradients.
    I am curious to know, if I have 2 color swatches that I make into a gradient color, is it posible to change the tint of each indivdual color in that gradient and have that applied to the gradient without having to adjust the gradients opacity.
    The reason that I'm asking this is because in creating a project I found that the colors that I chose for to make my gradient from my swatches were to dark, and while I can adjust each one's tint to my liking (if the object they were applied to was going to be a solid color) but that doesn't seem to apply to the overall gradient.
    I hope that makes sense, I know that this was something that was able to be accomplished in quark and was wondering if I can do something similar.

    If you double click your gradient swatch (after adding it to the swatches)
    Then click a colour stop in the gradient, and then change the drop down menu to CMYK (or rgb)
    And you can alter the percentages there. It's not much use for spot colours but it's a start.
    But making tint swatches would be a good start anyway.
    At least then when you double click the gradient (in the swatches) to edit it you can choose from CMYK, RGB, LAB, or Swatches and adjust each colour stop to your liking.

  • Quick question about iMovie

    I have a question about iMovie. I've used Final Cut Pro before using iMovie, and FCP allowed the user to play two video/images on top of each other. You could play with the opacity and the duration very easily.
    I'm wondering, can you do the same thing with iMovie? I'll be VERY disappointed if you can't do it.
    iBook G4

    Hi
    And You could take a look at the plug-ins to iMovie.
    - Stupendous software http://www.stupendous-software.com
    - GeeThree http://www.geethree.com
    - cf/x. http://www.imovieplugins.com
    and possibly more.
    QT-pro can do this as said above - but You need to be very precise.
    But I would do this in FCP and then export as QT.mov to do the rest in iMovie
    if necessary.

    Hi AAnotherUser_,
    Based on your description, the internal domain name is different from the external domain name, and the web server is hosted internally. And the goal is that the internal user can
    access the web server by using an URL which include the MyCorp.com.
    In this scenario, internet users access your domain name by connecting to the WAN IP address of your router. However, to make the internal users access the website, you would need
    to create the external domain name as a zone on your internal DNS server.
    After creating the DNS zone, right click the zone you created, choose New Host Record.
    Type in the hostname, such as ‘www’, and provide the internal private IP address of your internal web server.
    For more details, please refer to Ace’s blog below, the
    Scenario 2: Different Internal and External but you are hosting the webserver internally
    http://blogs.msmvps.com/acefekay/2009/09/03/split-zone-or-no-split-zone-can-t-access-internal-website-with-external-name/
    Best Regards,

  • Question about the animated Pen tool

    Hi,
    ive a question about the animated pen-tool.
    i draw a word, but my hand isnt very calm, so the result is what you see on the screenshot.
    Is there a possibility to reduce the points on the animated pen tool like in illustrator?
    i know in illustrator its possible, but i didnt found anything in after effects to do it.
    thanks for your help

    If you are using the Paint tools those options don't exist in After Effects. The only work around is to set a keyframe for the brush path, copy the keyframe, then go to Illustrator and in a blank document the same size as your layer paste. Once in Illustrator you can simplify the path, select it, copy it, then go back to After Effects and select the same keyframe then paste. If you get a mask instead of a new path delete the mask path, make sure you have only the original brush path keyframe selected, then go to Edit>Paste from the menu.
    It doesn't look like you're drawing a mask path. That might be a better way to go.

  • Question about rating +17

    I have a social networking app that has been rated with +17 (could have been eventually even my error) which includes push notifications. We have no mature/suggestive themes certainly and I was wondering if someone knows why the app possibly has been rated +17. I have received no answer from apple still and would be grateful if someone knows how I can find someone to help.

    It is difficult to answer this question because you can't really tell unless you are in the process of submitting an app. If I recall correctly, the last time I submitted one, it clearly says what rating your app is going to have with the settings you have provided. I also seem to recall that the questions that drive what rating your app will receive seem to have nothing whatsoever do with objectionable material or mature themes. I seem to remember it being about parental control and how much access you wanted the app to have.
    I suggest you ask your question in the developer forums because more people there are actively in the process of submitting apps and can give you more specific information.

  • Questions about Installing EBS R12 continued

    Folks,
    Hello. This post is the continue for previous post "Questions about Installing EBS R12".
    While installing EBS R12 using "./rapidwiz", the Install Wizard gets to "CD Locator - Select root directory of required Rapid Install Disk. Enter location for the disk labeled. Oracle Applications Rapid Install - Database Disk 1"
    I browse the directory where Database Disk 1 is located (file name: V15680-01_1of3/oraAPPDB/Disk1). Then click "OK" button, CD Locator Windows come up again and again. The Install Wizard doesn't proceed !
    The above issue means some files in stage area directory are corrupted. Thus, I have deleted the stage area directory (zip files and unzipped files) and try to download a fresh EBS R12 from Oracle Edelivery to install again.
    Now, the problem is that when I empty trash (EBS_R12) in Oracle Linux 5, the 3 files (V15680-01_1of3.zip, oraAppDB, oraDB) cannot be deleted from the trash, the error message is:
    "You don't have permission to modify its parent folder."
    The file V15680-01_1of3.zip is Rapid Install Database Disk 1 on which the install Wizard stop while installing EBS R12.
    Can any folks help to solve the issue on file "V15680-01_1of3.zip" ?
    that is, how to empty it from Trash ? How to have the Wizard go through it when install again ?

    Please update the original thread instead of creating new one -- Re: Questions about Installing EBS R12

  • Questions about the new add folder/add item api functions ...

    I have a few questions about using the wwsbr_api.add_folder and wwsbr_api.add_item functions for 3.0.8.
    1. How do I retrieve the parent_id for the current folder or if I am running a batch add folder?
    2. How do I set a folder style other than the parent folder's?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • 4 questions about the the top boxes - SD box and Home media DVR

    Hello. I am going to be getting Fios soon and I have some questions about the boxes. I will be getting the Home Media DVR and 4 SD boxes.
    1) Do these boxes have timers on them to set so the box can turn off at a certain time?
    2) Do these boxes have parental control and if so is it good enough to block things that I do not want my child to see?
    3) How many people can access the home media dvr at the same time to watch already recorded programs
    4) If the Home Media DVR is in the family room can a record be started from the bedroom over the SD set top box (even an hd show)?
    Thanks for any help.

    I have been using two Standard Set Top Boxes for about a year. I have Parental Controls on and all channels locked. When I want to watch a channel, I tune to that channel, note the LOCKED message, which tells me to press the OK button to enter ther Parental Controls PIN and unlock the channel for viewing.
    This has worked flawlessliy for the last year -- ON THE Standard STB's.
    I just ordered the Home Media DVR STB to replace one of my Standardt STB..
    On the Home Media DVR:
    I can set the Parentals Control PIN and lock the channels, in the exact same way I did o nthe Standard STB's. However, when  tuen to ANY channel, I still ge the LOCKED message and instructions to press OK to unlock the channel -- BUT no matter how I press the OK button, the Enter your Parental Conlrols PIN dialog box willl NOT open. Nothing happens -- you CAN NOT view any channel.
    Again, it is the EXACT setup as for the Standard STB, but the OK button will NOT unlock any of the channels.
    If you unlock all channels and LOCK the Ratings, the same problem recurs: OK buitton will never open the "enter your PIN" dialog box.
    I have received two replacement boxes and have spent hours on the phone with some very capable and helpful Techs -- no luck.
    Has anyone else had the same problem? Here's how to test your Home Media DVR:
    1. Menu-Settings-Parental Controls.
    2. You will be prompted to CREATE youre Parental Controls PIN
    3. Enter you PIN twice.
    4. Use the > button to scroll to Enable On/Off and set it on.
    5. scroll down to Control Channels
    6. Press > button to See Locked Channels
    7. Scroll down to Add/Remove Channels
    8. Scroll right to choose LOCK ALL
    9. Press OK and then scroll to YES to lock all channels
    10. Press EXIT to get out of settings.
    11. All channels are now locked.
    12. Go to any channel
    13. A black screen will appear with a lock silhouette with the word LOCKED below, followed by instructions to Press OK to enter PIN and unlock this channel. (plus how to change locks...).
    14.Press the OK button and, if it is working, you will see a dialog box at the bottom of the screen that is titled: UNLOCK, with the channel listed and the instructions to "Enter your PIN using your numeric pad on remote to naje this channel availabe for all users." THere's a PIN box, which shows asterisks for each number entered, with "Press Exit to Cancel" below.
    15. On the Standard STB, it works exactly as described in steps 1 thru 14. On the Media Center DVR, it works up to step `13, but in 14, no matter how you press the OK button, the UNLOCK dialog box never pops us. The Remote STB light flashes on the remove and the REMOTE yellow light flashes on the DVR,  but nothng happens.
    If you have a Home Media DVR, can you please try this and see if it works?
    Thanks,
    John

    I am an HP employee.

    My HP, purchased in June 2012, died on Saturday.  I was working in recently installed Photoshop, walked away from my computer to answer the phone and when I came back the screen was blank.  When I turned it on, I got a Windows Error Recovery message.  The computer was locked and wouldn't let me move the arrow keys up or down and hitting f8 didn't do anything. 
    I'm not happy with HP.  Any suggestions?
