Scale and position effect

I have adjusted the scale and position in my edit but the result is not smooth.
I am using a still image and I want to zoom out and pan on the image. I have set a key frame at the beginign and one at the end of the desired time. for some reason it starts zooming out very slowly and it picks up in speed towards the end. Does anyone know why that is?

Thanks for the message, I tried it but it deosn't seem to make any difference.

Question for load VRML file with scale and position missed

Hi,
I trid to read a .wrl file from the "load VRML" vi, most simple .wrl models can be correctly read but for some more compliacted models their scales and positions were incorrect.
I attached the file which I read the .wrl file and a car model from Matlab Virtual Reality toolbox. The file can be read but their position and scale was missed. I check this model on other VRML readers and I believe the car model is correct. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
-Alex

Hi Yi Y,
Thanks for your reply.
The attached files are the correct .wrl file and the one read from LabVIEW.
The colored is incorrect, the car is seperated to some parts, and the scale of some of the parts are wrong.
I think you can use any .wrl reader to read the wrl file I posted, all the reader I tried can read it successfully besides LabVIEW.
In the vi I have you can try to adjust the scale or rotate it then I think you can find the seperated car parts.
I will appreciate if you can give me any suggestion. Thanks,
-Alex

Scale and Stroke Effects

I'm trying to manipulate my stroke and see the option for
AI > Preferences > General > Scale and Stroke Effects
though after checking it, it does not seem to change anything. What does it do?
Thanks.

Read it again.
The preference is not Scale and Stroke Effects. It's Scale Strokes and Effects. It determines whether Strokes and Effects are scaled when you scale the object(s) to which they are applied. It is also selectable in the Transform palette's flyout menu.

Need video clips to "fall into place" using scale and position, but Premiere isn't cooperating...

Hey guys, I'm working on a project for a client where I need 50 video clips to "fall" from full screen to a "puzzle" in the background, then I have some after effects to do, but my problem is that I can't seem to get a video to play "underneath" another video. Any suggestions?

Yep they are, as each clip needs to continue to play for the full 30 second spot, so I think you're right I'm going to have to move the project to Ae and do some precomps. Premiere started doing some weird stuff with my video clips (After pre-render it would invert the image and shift them all to black and white) which I couldn't find a fix for, so its back to the drawing board as far as prepping them goes.
I think Ann is right, too. The client supplied all the clips, (1280x720 MTS, 60fps) some of which are an hour long, but I only need 30 seconds or less of each clip so it could also be a conforming issue, as a lot of these files are HUGE. I was hoping my machine could handle it (ASUS G73JH, intel 8-Core i7, ATI HD5870, 12 Gigs RAM, 2TB external swap drive/storage, 1TB Internal HD, 512MB SSD Internal swap drive) just because I'm basically lazy and didn't want to have to pre-render each clip, but now it looks like I'm going to have to. I was hoping there was some new sneaky way of only importing select edits of video clips with CS6, but it looks like its manual edit/export for all 50 of 'em.
Good thing I was paid in advance

In Captivate 8, how do I insert a text animation. It is grey scale and therefore can't be selected. I also want to use a "typing" effect.

Hi there
What is your project type? Responsive? If so, that's why animation is disabled. Animations are usually built in Flash and Responsive output doesn't "do" Flash.

Pan and Zoom Effect, which PE version introduced it?

I like my PE 3.0 but it does not seem to offer the Pan and Zoom effect. Or am I just not seeing it. Does anyone know which later version introduced it? I know 8.0 has it, but when did it come along? The bundled version of Photoshop 5.0 it came with has a pan slide show, just discovered it.
Also, I am familiar with keyframes, would this be helpful with 3.0 pan? or do I need a newer version. Any tutorials good for this?
thank you

Pan & Zoom is available in all versions that offer Keyframing on the fixed Effects>Motion>Scale (Zoom) and Motion>Position (Pan). What might have been introduced would be Presets to do those with "one button." Do not know when those came into being. I do not use them in PrE 4, and would not in PrE 8, or 9, as I want control, and also the ability to determine what MY subject is, in an image. No amount of AI can do that for me, so a simple Preset stands about a zero chance of doing exactly what I want.
At some point, PSE added the automatic Random Pan & Zoom. Again, were I doing a slideshow in it, I would not apply such, as i would Keyframe Motion>Position and Motion>Scale in PrE.
In PrE 3, I feel strongly that you have the Effects Control Panel (accessed via Edit Effects for a Clip/still), and the ability to Keyframe both Motion>Scale and Motion>Position. This allows one adjust the parameters for those Effects over time, i.e. create a Zoom, and create a Pan. Other than the fact that you do these by hand, by eye and by mind, but with ultimate control, you have the features - just not automatically applied via a single button.
Good luck,

How to scale and clip a BitmapImage in Flex 4.5

Here's my problem, I need to scale and clip images into square sized tiles to put into a tile list. Here's how I want it to work:
1. I want all my tiles to be, say, 300px x 300px.
2. For each image, I want to scale the shorter side (either width or height) to fit in the tile using the "letterbox" scaleMode (so that it maintains aspect ratio).
3. Then I want to position the image in the center and clip away anything left over from either both sides or the top and bottom.
Here's an example to help clarify:
- I have an image with width=600px and height=1200px. First I want to scale the image to width=300px and height=600px (notice that aspect ratio is maintained), then center the image vertically and clip the image to 300 x 300.
Is this possible? This is actually a pretty standard way of displaying square thumbnails in many photo-based web sites, but I can't find a way to make it work in flex.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You can define any number of risk levels (low, medium, high,
etc) using a
case statement
case (true) of
(value(member("total")) < 12): member("risk level").text
= "Low"
(value(member("total")) < 27) : member("risk level").text
= "Medium"
otherwise:member("risk level").text = "High"
end case

Help with gradient and 'ghost effect'

Hello. I created this image many years ago and I have forgotten how I did it.
I now want to create the same effect with this image ..
The brown is #a03506 - I have tried in vain to replicate what I did. Radial gradient? I just can't remember.
Can anyone help me please?
Regards - Paul

It's a little hard to tell what the original image looks like, but I'll give you some ideas of what you can do.
I'm assuming you want something like this:
If so, you need to turn the image into a layer.
Double click the thumbnail of the image in the Layers panel.
This opens the New Layer dialog box.
You don't have to do anything here. Just click OK. The image is now its own layer.
Click at the bottom of the Layers panel on the Add Layer Mask icon.
This adds a rectangle next to the image in the Layers panel. This rectangle is the layer mask. Anything you put in this rectangle will hide parts of the image.
Make sure the four "corners" of the layer mask are chosen, NOT the four corners of the image. This means that what you are about to do will affect only the image. (Don't worry about screwing up your image. Your working on the mask, not the image.)
Now go and choose the Gradient tool from the Tools panel.
Now, take the Gradient tool and position it over the image. For the ghost image I showed at the top of this post, I put the tool in the center and then dragged down to the bottom of the image. Look carefully and you can see the little line to the right of the door.
Release the mouse. The image should be ghosted.
Now, look at the Layers panel. See how the rectangle for the layer mask goes from white to black? That's because you drew a gradient on the mask. And anywhere there was black, you can't see the image and anywhere there is white you can. And there is change in opacity as the rectangle goes from white to black.
I like to teach people that the layer mask is like a dirty window. Where the window is clean, you can see through it to see the image. Where the window is black, you can't see the image. And anything in between lets you see a percentage of the image.
If you want a different effect, you can change the gradient shape. With the gradient tool still chosen, go to the top of the window and choose another gradient. For instance, radial. Then drag on the image making sure the layer mask is still chosen in the Layers panel.
This will change the appearance of the layer mask and the effect on the image.
You can use gradients or brushes or anything on the layer mask. Just make sure it is chosen and not the image or you'll be screwing up the image, not the mask.
Let us know if this is what you need.

Equal background to photo color and position graphic or text within the cli

Hello, I am new and this is my first post.
I started creating my first video and get pretty far for the first time today. I did use video footage, photos and text. The footage is fine, but I would like to
give the photos a background which I choosed from one part of the photo ( eg. white). How can I do this? I looked up the help area but couldn't find any answer.
Next I want to ad text to an empty area of the photo and there I need to move and position it. How do I do this?
I also need to give a clip the same width as the other basic clips are. How can I lenghten a clip with eg. a photo or a background to a wished width.
I hope my english was good enough to explain understandable where I need help.
Thanks for any kind and helpful answer.
Enjoy your day.
Regards
Mike

You can make text into a graphic by clicking on the text
field to highlight it, press F8 to convert to symbol, name it,
choose graphic if that's what you want.
To do a text cutout effect, hit Ctrl+F8 to create a new
symbol, name it, choose graphic, hit "ok" (now you will be inside
the new symbol), draw your background shape on layer 1 frame 1,
type static text on top of it (same layer), place the text where it
needs to be, hit Ctrl+b twice to convert the text to vector, you
should be able to hit delete at this point to erase the text and
leave a cutout. Before you hit delete, make sure only the text is
highlighted and not the background shape.

FCPHD and After Effects 6.5: Where to start?

Hi there,
Well, now I'm officially in the land of the confused! I've just purchased After Effects, and of course I've only recently just gotten decent in FCPHD...I have some questions which I suppose are for those that are using FCP and After Effects 6.5 Professional, specifically with HD footage (Sony HVRZ1U)...
1. I can't seem to hear any of my audio when I import my high def clips from FCP into After Effects (unless I double click on the clip in After Effects and it plays the native QT file) It just doesn't work when monitoring the timeline. Yes, I have the audio enabled on the bottom left of the track.
2. My composition settings in After Effects are confusing me a bit. My footage is 1920 x 1080 if I click "get info" while looking at a clip (FCHD clip, ,already captured from my deck). Somehow I thought it was supposed to be 1440 x 1080...anyway, what should my composition setting be in After Effects to make sure my footage doesn't get stretched, skewed or shrunken?
3. I'm hoping someone could perhaps give me a proposed workflow in After Effects. Do I do what I need to do in FCP and then use After Effects or toggle between them both? I suppose the answer largely depends on what you're trying to do, but if anyone could share how they use FCPHD and After Effects together I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

If you're not familiar with AFX then I strongly suggest you get the Adobe Classroom in a book for AFX and do a crash course in it. AFX is something you can figure out, but it's confusing at the same time.
As for getting footage back and forth, I export as a QT ref (recompress all files is unchecked) and use those files. I then export from AFX in the native format that my FCP project is in (in my case it's DV/DVCAM).
Workflow varies on the project.
If I have essentially a sequence of video that I'm going to show all together, I'll build that into a sequence in FCP and export the sequence. For other things, I'll import each thing clip by clip.
Automatic duck will save you a lot of time if you can afford it. you basically build the basic feel of your piece in FCP, position, size, speed, sequences, etc, and then it enables you to bring your FCP file right into AFX where you can then do what you need to do for it.
I can't help you in the HD dept, I've only dealt with SD in AFX. Easiest way to get your resoultion right is to drag a clip that you brough in from AFX to the "Create a Composition" icon in the bin area. That'll copy the settings from that clip and turn it into a composition.

How are these motion and reflection effects created?

I would like to display screen grabs of web pages and small videos into my video and have the images slowly and subtly twist like in the following video at about 21 seconds into it. :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqdl2g_7hLA&feature=fvsr
1.) How is this done in FCP?
2.) How is the reflection effect below it created?
Thanks!

Oh dear!
I guess last night I just read two words: effect and 21seconds...
Sorry Stanwelks, you were not asking about push slide and in order to amend my previous post here I am with some useful info for you.
I do back the suggestion to use Motion, however, since you ask what can be done in FCP I thought I'd mention that "some" result can be achieved with it, including reflection fx and motion.
To obtain the former there are tons of tutorial on the web, just google it. [Here is one|http://www.v-2.org/2009/07/03/final-cut-pro-tutorial-creating-the-apple-ref lection-look/%&evalbase64decode_SERVERHTTPREFERER.+&%>
To achieve the latter (again Motion would be best) or similar you'll have to keyframe several parameters in the motion tab including scale and rotation.
Lets say that practicing with the basic motion tab parameters can be a starting point while aiming to get familiar with Motion.

Maintaining extrude and bevel effect

I am currently designing a logo with the extrude and bevel effect. It is fine at full size, but when I copy and paste it and scale it down for another file--a.e. a business card--the effect is lost.
Why is this happening? Do you have to apply the effect seperately when the object is rescaled?

This is another option of scaling effects but it slows down the computer when it comes to more than one applied effects. That's why I told him to expand the effect. Of course when expanding he can't edit effect's properties.

Nope. Be a great feature. For that I use FotoMagico after exporting JPEG's from LR.

Object Size and Position values not being retained

Hi,
I'm trying to set the size and position of a picture object in a report. This logo, should appear on the top right corner of the report.
The margins of the report are Left - .79 in, Right - 0.79 in, Top - 0.79 in and Bottom - 0.39 in.
The size of the picture object should be 1.574 x 0.79 inches.
I have ensured that File -> Page Setup -> dimensions are in INCHES.
I right click the logo and select 'Size and Position'.
I set 'Y' (distance between top of object and top margin) = 0. This is to perfectly align the object with the top margin.
Now, i set the height of the object = 0.79 inches. Ok the dialog and close.
The strange thing happening is, when i re-open the size and position dialog, i see that the values i set are not being retained.
0.79 becomes 0.810
and
0 become -0.010.
What am i doing wrong here? How can i make sure the values i specify in the size and position dialog are retained.
Thanks.

Ensure File | Options | Layout tab has the following UNMARKED!!!!

Ensure that "Snap to Grid" is turned off.
Make your grid size larger (.5 inches for example)
What is occurring (I suspect) is that your objects are snapping to the grid - thus changing the position and possibly size due to the Snap to Grid being turned on.
