Show text filled with video.

I have a solid layer, a text layer and a video. I need to erase the solid layer only in the part where the text comes and show video behind it. How can I do this?

Look up track matte in your AE manual. You might also search the AE community (that comes up with the online manual) for "text fill."

  • Text filled with objects

    Illustrator
    can anybody help me in this?
    let say we need some text like " CIRCLE" and it should be filled with small circles (Like below) but not clipping mask mean the object should not flash cut on the edge of characters.
    is there any effect, or we need to do it manually?

    Sajid,
    Here is a(nother) way to get a nice and orderly distribution of dots (that do not touch one another). It may be further optimized, beyond what is shown.
    You may (specifics applying to an S):
    1) Create the lettershape or Type>Create Outlines from an existing live Type letter;
    2) If needed (starting with live Type), change from Fill to Stroke and delete the end segments;
    3) If needed (starting with live Type), Ungroup and Object>Compound Path Release and possibly reverse either path so both have the same direction, see below;
    With only the outer paths (which should have matching Anchor Points),
    4) Object>Blend>Options, with Specified Steps set to the number of inner paths (2 in the case shown), and Orientation>Align to path;
    5) Object>Blend>Make
    6) In the Stroke palette, set the Stroke Weight to the desired dot thickness, set Cap>Round Cap, and tick Dashed Line with Dash = 0 and Gap = Stroke Weight+desired gap between dots, corresponding to the gap between the rows of dots;
    7) If needed, adjust the Dashes to fit, inbuilt (in the options) in the newest version, in older versions, you may use the free Adjust Dashes script avaialble here:
    http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html
    Below is shown an S in Helvetica Bold at 144pt, with Stroke Weight = 12pt and Gap = 15pt (before adjustment). It may be further optimized.
    To reverse the direction of a path, you may select the path and:
    A) Object>Compound Path>Make;
    B) In the Attributes palette tick Reverse Path Direction On;
    C) Object>Compound Path>Release.
    You can see whether it is needed when you make the blend; if it is messy, reverse either path.
    You can also see the path directions by Effect>Stylize>Add Arrowheads; they should be at the same end.

  • Show text after a video ends

    Hi,
    I imported a video (progressive) and would like some text to
    appear after the video finishes. The video is in frame 1 and I
    inserted a keyframe after that and added text. When I play the
    movie all I see is the text blinking, no video. What did I do
    wrong?
    Thanks in advance.
    Robert

    Try this:
    Add a stop action to frame 1
    stop();
    also, add this:
    var myListener: Object = new Object();
    myListener.complete = function(eventObj: Object) {
    trace("media is Finished");
    gotoAndStop(2);
    myMedia.addEventListener("complete", myListener);
    Make sure your video component has an instance name: myMedia
    Add a stop action to frame 2.
    test movie.
    I am assuming your video is an FLV outside of flash right?
    You are using the media display component
    to display it right?

  • Why are routine processes (mouse scrolling, viewing videos, appearance of typed text) filled with pauses? I've disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins, and don't encounter this problem with other browsers.

    My problem is unique to the Firefox browser, and does not occur with Opera or IE.
    Way too often (about once a minute or so), Firefox will suffer a brief pause in performing functions, even simple ones.
    It is impossible for me to watch any video in Firefox without the picture pausing periodically. Oftentimes, text I type suffers a delay before appearing in a web form. Mouse scrolling is not very dependable at all.
    I have disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins and add-ons, yet the problem still persists. I have attempted to streamline to only the most necessary plug-ins, but to no avail.
    I love Firefox, but I don't like the choppy videos or downgrading of my productivity these problems are causing.

  • Is it possible to show interactive pdf with video on an iPad 2 ?

    I have heard that it was not possible to display any interactive pdf file (action field that start a video clip when click or touch) on an iPad 2 ?
    I have an application in which I just want to display my interactive pdf file with action field that start a video clip when click.  It uses a hyperlink in acrobat.  Is it possible to display this on an iPad 2 and allow the user to touch the action field to start a video clip ??   It works in windows (of course).
    I was hoping it was possible using pdf because MS power point doesn't work on any applications in iPad2 that will handle the hyperlinking to a video.
    I appreciate any suggestions on this topic.
    Thank You,
    G

    Adobe Reader does not have this capability. I'm not aware of any other PDF viewers for iOS that do.

  • Report 3.0 Previewer showing fields filled with ***

    Hi,
    I know that normally this means reports have no enough place for formatting the field but...when you see the first page all is OK and the next pages comes with *** in several fields. Some boilerplate text are shifted or not in their place.
    Can you give me a little help.

  • Why does disc show as filled with only one small file added?

    I'm also new to Apple.  I've a MacBook Pro - Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  I've checked the documentation and help information and followed the instructios.  The blank CD-R  shows as (CD-R;  BLANK - Yes; ERASEABLE - Yes; OVERWRITABLE - Yes; APPENDABLE- yes).  I wrote one small file to the CD using the Burn Folder.  The file was on the CD, but all available space was used with zero remaining.   The disc is not erasable.  One response to an earlier question to look for multisesson recorder and select leave disc appendable or look for a triangle in top right.  Could not find this.  I'm sure this is another area where I'm just looking in the wrong place for instruction.  Any help is appreciated.

    See these instructions:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1515120
    Note, you will likely have to start with a new blank CD.  Once burnt without appendability selected, it often can't be appended in the future.

  • Some text after creating outlines fills with gadient

    I have a few files in Illustrator CS that when I select all text and "create outlines" of them, about half of the text fills with black (normal), and the other half fill with a black to white gradient.
    Has anyone else seen this?
    Thank you very much for any information regarding this.

    If you are working too fast and press the decimal point on the numeric key pad it will change all your selected vectors to grad fills. Could this be what is happening? I do this sometimes by accident when going for the ENTER key.

  • Can I mimic a 'slide show' of stills and videos with this technique

    I want to be able to mimic an old fashioned slide show on a Blu-ray disk, except that each 'slide' – I'll call them items – could be a true still, or a still with pan/zoom, or even a short video. Whatever a particular item is, I want to click a button and the show advances to the next item. If the next item is a video, the video pauses on the last frame when it is finished.
    Just like the old magazine full of slides, imagine a folder full of items – some may be stills, some videos. After importing into Encore, setting up the navigation and menus, and then burning to Blu-ray, I want to be able to play them in sequence at the press of the Enter button.
    I'm pretty much a novice with Encore, and to save spending more time reading the manual, I thought I'd ask if I can mimic a slide show in Encore with the technique described below. I got the idea from page 152 of the PDF manual:
    The buttons on a menu are the primary navigation tool for the viewer. They control how the viewer steps through the project. Each button in a menu must lead to another menu, a timeline, a chapter, a playlist, a chapter playlist, or a slide show.
    My limited experience with Encore is to set up a series of videos on a single timeline, and generate one menu with a "Start" button on it. When the Blu-ray starts up, the Start screen appears and stays there until I press Enter. Works well.
    A slide show of stills using buttons only
    So I thought: to generate my old-fashioned slide show (ignore videos for the moment), I would use the buttons themselves as the stills, taking my queue from the quote above: "Each button in a menu must lead to another menu…". My slide show would consist of jumping from one menu to the next. This leads to my first question:
    Q1: Is it possible for a menu to have a full-screen button, call it the Image Button, that is actually the still image that is desired to be shown? So the viewer sees the Image Button, thinks it's the image (which it is), but it is actually a button. When the viewer presses Enter, the button activates and goes to the next menu which also happens to be the next full-screen image. The viewer is jumping from Image Button to Image Button, with the buttons filling the screen and being the actual images.
    A slide show including videos
    To include a video in the slide show, the destination when Enter is pressed would be a timeline with the appropriate video. At the end of this video, the navigation would lead to a menu which has an Image Button of the last frame of the video. The effect is that the video is paused on the last frame, waiting for the user to hit Enter to advance to the next item (still or video).
    If there is an easier way to mimic a slide show of stills and videos, please let me know.

    Stan – I posted 3 years ago in the Keynote Forums (I'm on Mac) about this sort of thing, knowing that eventually I would want to do it. The answer came back then that Keynote might have problems. So I've recently posted again about Keynote, but no responses as yet.
    I expected problems with Encore and welcome some of them. Overcoming problems is the best way to become intimately involved with software.
    I'm glad you asked why I don't just use Powerpoint (or Keynote in my case). Now's my chance to clarify my thoughts:
    Macs do not upscale very well. Sometimes I may want to show part of a DVD. I've tested playing a DVD on my iMac versus on a Oppo BDP93, fed to a BenQ W7000 projector throwing a 3 metre image. There is an obvious difference in image quality because the Oppo, being hardware based, can interpolate in real time as it scales from 576p (PAL) to 1080P. DVD Player on my iMac simply magnifies the image, resulting in obvious pixellation.
    Dissolves and complex effects in Premier challenge any software based h.264 player. I don't like to see decoding artifacts, for example, during a dissolve while a part of the image is also reducing in size, spinning, and disappearing into the distance. An extreme example, but an effect I used once. From my reading of blu-ray player reviews – and from my limited testing – all blu-ray players can easily handle the highest bit rates from a blu-ray disk.
    I don't have a laptop so I'd have to buy one. I'd rather spend the money on a dedicated player if that route turns out to be suitable.
    I don't trust computers for a presentation. Too unreliable. When I was showing multiscreen audio visuals in the 1980s (4-6 projectors), I always had a backup Tascam 4-track with me, back up soundtrack on tape, back up amp, and a backup slide projector. Even had a backup amp in the car. Speakers, well, if one failed I had two there anyway. With digital, to feel comfortable, I'd have to buy a second laptop. A good quality, backup Blu-ray player can be had for $100. And yes, I do have a backup W7000. I don't trust digital projectors either.
    Running a presentation from a laptop always looks amateurish to me. Someone hunched over a tiny screen, fooling around with Windows or OSX. And usually it's all mirrored on the big screen for everyone to see. I'm never impressed. I want to replicate a cinema experience as closely as possible. Darkness, the audience hushed, and up comes the first image.
    Any suggestions about automatically linking a whole heap of menus?

  • Do I need to use javascript to get a text field in a PDF form to aut fill with current/today's date?

    I have a form for booking appointments and would like the date field to automatically fill with
    today's date and to print. I have set the text field's format to "Date" and when I place the cursor into the
    date field, today's date shows. It disappears as soon as I tab to the next field.
    Does this action require a javascript script to fill and print today's date? If so, where do I find that?
    Or is there another way to format the text field (besides typing today's date) to get the current date?
    Thanks.

    Thank you GKaiseril!
    From the examples by Chris Dahl, I edited the script in the text field editing dialog to reflect the title I had given the field. That fixed the problem of today's date disappearing as soon as I tabbed to the next field.
    How do I choose for document level or page open script? I would like it to insert the date upon opening the document.
    Thanks again.

  • Showing RSS feed in Dynamic Text box (with hyperlink)

    Hi all -
    I am currently trying to pull RSS data into a project for my first time and am trying to get 3 (potentially 4) boxes filled with rss data that will be updated. So far, I am going with Actionscript 3. So far I have the code below, but it puts data in a listbox. What is the easiest way to put the data in three dynamic text boxes inside a movie clip, so I have one for the title, one for description and one for link (shown as 'read more' text but a link using the url from the rss value)?
    I am really banging my head against the wall on this one and want to get it sorted asap, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I have also attached an image to show what I am trying to do:
    I also want to know if it's possible to show rss values only if they exist. For example, my xml feed currently only has 3 items that change, and i will be assigning these to boxes, but is it possible to display a fourth if it exists, and if it doesn't it just shows the first?
    My code so far:
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
    var xml:XML;
    function onLoaded(e:Event):void
        xml = new XML(e.target.data);
        var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item.description};
        trace(il[1]);
             lb.addItem({data:il.description.text()
                                label:il.title.text()}):
    loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.rssfeedhere.xml"));

    you would create a movieclip (exported for actionscript and class = rssItem) with 3 textfields and the display shown in your message and use something like:
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
    var xml:XML;
    function onLoaded(e:Event):void
        xml = new XML(e.target.data);
        var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item.description};
        for(var i:uint=0;i<il.length();i++){
            var mc:rssItem = new rssItem();
            addChild(mc);
            mc.x = 300*i%2;
            mc.y = 300*Math.floor(i/2);
            mc.titleTF.text = il[i].title.text();
            mc.descriptionTF.text = il[i].description.text();
            mc.readmoreTF.text = ?
    loader.load(new URLRequest(http://www.rssfeedhere.xml));

  • When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

    Thanks for your help.

    One of the comments suggests you can't use greater than or less than with the star rating in Finder.
    You might try a Raw Query with the kMDItemStarRating.
    In the criteria popup menu, select Other, then find the Raw Query entry.
    You might have to play around with the syntax, but try "kMDItemStarRating >= 3"

  • When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally.

    When I take a photo or video in landscape mode, it will not play back or show in landscape with the phone held horizontally. i have an iPhone 5. I think this happened sometime after the last upgrade but I am not sure when. is there a setting on the phone that may have gotten changed somehow?

    Slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Controls panel. One button controls orientation lock to prevent the screen rotating as you rotate the phone. You can toggle that control on and off as you need. Slide the panel back down when you are finished with it.

  • Why does text field in InfoPath 2010 show user name with two commas between first name and last?

    Here's the problem. I have a text field called Manager in an InfoPath 2010 form that is getting populated by a drop down field called
    Business Unit.
    The Business Unit drop-down field is pulling information from
    column A in a custom list via a managed data connection. The custom List has two columns:
    Title & Manager. 
    The Manager column in the custom list is a 'Person or Group' type column.
    The Data Connection pulls both the Title, Manager
    (and ID) data.
    There is a rule on the Business Unit drop-down field to change the value of the
    Manager text field with the Manager data on the custom list. The rule pulls the
    Manager information and filters the value to match the
    Business Unit on the Data Connection with the Business Unit drop-down
    field value (Main).
    The Business Unit drop-down field works great and pulls the value from the custom list, and the rule populates the Manager text field. The problem is that Manager text field shows the name as such:
    [smith,, john]. Notice the two commas between the last and first name. There should only be
    one comma!
    Anyone have an idea why the text field is appearing with two commas?
    Arnel

    Hi all,
    I have a workaround for this. I have an InfoPath 2010 form pulling data from a SP2010 list. The user chooses a System (Business Unit) from the dropdown list and that choice auto populates the associated user (Manager) for that system. I had to
    use concatenation, substring before and substring after to display the correct data.
    concat(substring-before(DisplayName, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(DisplayName, ",, "))
    DisplayName is the original data for the field. I am able to cut & paste this field into the formula. Therefore, I added a few spaces to separate it from the actually formula for future use.
    Select Insert Function
    Select concat
    Select the first link to double-click to insert field
    and then select Insert Function
    Select the Text category and choose substring-before
    Select the third link to double-click to insert field
    and then select Insert Function
    Select the Text category and choose substring-after
    Copy and paste your fieldname (in my case DisplayName) in the
    double-click to insert field
    parts of the substring-before and substring-after links.
    Delete the middle double-click to insert field link
    Add quotes, spaces and commas so that they match the following format:
    concat(substring-before(DisplayName, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(DisplayName,
    Translation:
    concat(substring-before(Doe,, John, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(Doe,,
    John, ",, "))
    Bring together all of the text before ",," (i.e. Doe) with ", " (comma, space) and all text after ",," (i.e. John).
    It should return
    Doe, John.
    I hope this makes sense. I have these instructions with screenshots if you need them, contact me.
