Simple animation for iPad magazine front

Below is a screenshot of my iPad magazine idea which I am designing in Indesign.
I would like each one to fade in and out but I wanted to know is there an action you can do inDesign?
Or would I have to animate it in Edge and then import it in?

The screen shot you've provided only shows one filled hexagon.
But I'm assuming you want others to fade in and out of the other hexagons.
That would be handled with a slideshow with each state of a MSO filled with a different hexagon.
And then you can set it to auto-play with fades.

What tool can i use to create an animation for iPad

What tool can i use to create an animation the will run in I.E., Firefox and iPad. I want to have a series of large buttons that i can scroll using arrows on the left and right side of the large buttons, with each button being a hot spot. I can't use Flash because it is not supported on the iPad.
Thanks,
Steve

I've been playing with both Edge and Hype, and I found that stuff I create in Hype actually works in IE 8, but stuff I create in Edge does not. I'm not sure what the difference is, other than perhaps Hype automatically writes some legacy scripts so that things will work in IE. Hype's not perfect, but it's doing the job for what I needed it to do, where Edge was no help at all (working in IE I mean).
I think Edge is a much better tool - more robust, greater feature set, but Hype seems a bit more forgiving and seems to play nicer with crappy browsers like IE.

Digital Content Bundler and Viewer with CS5 for Ipad magazines?

Does anyone know where is the Digital Content Bundler and Viewer that Adobe promised to release in the summer of 2010 for Apple Ipad so that people can create interactive digital magazines like the new Wired issue?

We’re working nights and weekends to get this release to you ASAP. Stay tuned to this blog for more info, as well as the Adobe Labs page at http://bit.ly/LabsDigPub
Poor old Dave, he must be very tired by now, I do hope Adobe Labs are paying him overtime rates for all his night and weekend work since June 2010.
Is he a millionaire yet?

Yes. You must subscribe to the Digital Publishing Suite. About $500-700 a month to start. There is a lot of pressure on Adobe to knock this off though; Join the fight. I want to publish to Ipad too - but 6-7k a year just for that????? forget it.

HT4098 I have paid for an iPad magazine subscription, but I can not see all the pages of the magazine. All I am getting is the free preview. The magazine company said to contact Itunes, where I don't see a solution.

I have paid for an iPad magazine subscription, but I can not see all the pages of the first issue I just got. All I'm getting is the free preview. I contacted the magazine publisher, IPC, who said to contact Itunes, where I do not see an answer.

You can contact iTunes Store Support here.

Click on Purchases, billing and redemption to get started. Are you sure that you actually downloaded the magazine? I have a subscription to one magazine and I choose to download the magazines on my own rather than automatically.

Simple animation software for Arch?

Can anyone suggest a simple animation program for Linux; something similar to AnimationShop for windows. I know there's gimp-GAP, but that seems to be fairly advanced for my purposes. I just want to be able to string together images into .gif or video, perhaps with an 'onion layer' feature so you can see the previous frame transparently; that sort of thing.
I use gnome, so preferably something for GTK, or at least if it's KDE, that depends only on QT and not KDE packages.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Gimp will ask you if you want to flatten the image or make an animation out of it. If you choose animation, it will ask you for a frame rate.
Thanks. I realised this eventually and got it done that way.
Still, out of curiosity are there any 'film-strip' type animation programs out there?

How do I design/program a simple app for an iPad?

Hi, I don't even know where to start.
What program is used to design apps for iPads?
The app in mind is a simple application with my videos and the user is able to select which video they want to watch by picking it. I would also want the app to be locked so that the user cannot wander freely around the iPad.
Thanks in advance!

What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

Hello..
"what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
Thanks and Regards..

We are all users here.
There is no one here from Apple.
In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules. You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
No one here is going to be able to help you.
Good Luck.

Non-physics metaballs for simple animations?

I'm attempting a very simple animation where three circles ease out from the center. I would like these balls to have a metaball (liquid) effect so they appear sticky/liquid, but because I also need full control of the shapes, and physics engines are way overkill for something so simple, I'm hoping there is a much better way to accomplish this besides hand animate this in Illustrator frame by frame (where I do have a very simple metaball script (thanks to Hiroyuki Sato).
Here's the basic animation.. It's pretty much the same first animation you ever created in Flash LOL:
http://files.flashvenom.com/uploads/Anim.swf
So, hopefully you can get what I'm after.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yo thanks. The link there - that's totally metaballs. But I'm not trying to do anything interactive / live. I'm animating. There's no user interaction and I need full control of the shapes it produces.
Not sure if you use blender, but there's modifiers you can apply to shapes. Then you can animate, etc. I'm already done animating it with Illustrator, but I'd still love to find a solution so I can do more animations in the future faster.
And yeah, Re: Amy... The video on the top of the page that Amy shared is great for what it is, very clean and professional... but unfortunately it's not what I'm after. And the page has click to buy, register now, free chapter, log in with facebook, (in other words, click bait) everywhere on the page so that's where my crass comment came from.

Anyone knows simple, easy to use, design apps for iPad ?

I am now using "numbers" for my iPad, it is easy to learn, use and very useful also cheap price. I love it.
Now I need design apps for making simple lay out of a 5 storey building.
Auto cad maybe too complicated.
Can anyone tell me what good design apps for iPads but as ease of use as the "numbers" ? Thx.

Here is their list of compatible apps and I do not see ibooks on it.

Create effect on magazine cover for Ipad 2

Good afternoon, if I can help please, I want to know how to create an effect on magazine cover for ipad 2, so that the user pressing a finger onthe screen gradually leave bare the lower layer is actually the real coverof the magazine.
I'm new to DPS 5.5, thanks.
a greeting

My guess would be that you should do this in HTML5 with Edge maybe? Have you looked at Bob's Tutorial http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Creating_an_HTML_Scratch_Off_Effect-19672.html - Might put you in the right direction...

It would be interesting to know why you want Front Row on your iPad. Can you describe that a little bit more in detail? Even if your question seems to be solved?

How can I cancel monthly recurring charges for newsstand magazine charges on my iPad?

Purchasing magazines for ipad newstand

if a yearly subscription is bought for a magazine in the Newsstand why is there also a monthly charge to download that months issue

There shouldn't be - which magazine is it? How did you buy the subscription - through iTunes or directly from the magazine?
If you purchased a magazine subscription directly from the publisher, then iTunes wouldn't know you've paid that money. The National Geographic mag (which is in newstand) has a sign-in for "print subscribers" so they can download it without purchasing in iTunes.

How do I animate graphics for ipad, a windows user who might jump ship

Please read this recent post that I put up on the Adobe Flash forums site; only got one reply which wasn't much use to me, maybe you guys can help.
No I'm not on here to moan about Mac not supporting Flash (and yes I know that in theory Apple have done a U turn and are prepared to support it, albeit through gritted teeth). I have a problem though, I have been using Adobe since, well forever really, and am Windows based, plus I've always managed to keep both Mac and Windows users happy as I am largely video and After Effects based. I've dabbled with Flash and Director and some HTML coding so I am not completely naive when it comes to interactive presentations. This time I am a bit stumped though, I have an international client and they have decided as a company to invest in ipads for all their staff, so I am now being asked about interactive presentations including graphics and video content. Well if any other client had asked this of me I would have brushed up on my Flash and probably developed a straight forward presentation (nothing too fancy is required, no back end data base stuff etc, just a few animated buttons, splash screens and video). It is probably not agood idea coming onto an Adobe forum and asking what other program I can use for similar projects on the Mac, but that is my starting point. I know about Keynote, which I perceive a bit like Powerpoint (Micky Mouse comes to mind, I'm asking for trouble saying that I guess), so what exactly is the programe that is used on Macs to do similar tasks as Flash, does it exist? Before I decide to persist with Flash (and I guess that I am going to be nudged in that direction as I am on an Adobe forum) I'd like to know what is its rival on Mac. I have done a bit of research and am looking at Xcode4, Cocoa and it all seems a bit confusing and I certainly don't want to learn, C, C++ or one of it's derivatives, plus ipads use IOS a rather pared down version of the full Mac OS. If I were a Mac graphic designer and I wanted to design an interactive presentation for the ipad (or Mac for that matter) what professional program would I be using? There you go a very simple question from a very long winded explanation of my problem.
Here is the reply I got form one of the other forum users:-
As far as I know, Jobs was putting all his eggs into HTML5, so you probably want to see how he and the rest of the team are coming along with that spec (estimates are between 3 to 10 years for a final spec release). I believe you'll need to learn a number of other things (css, javascript, jQuery, ajax, etc) to make it all work together to mimic what it can of a Flash version.
As far as video goes... http://www.informationweek.com/news/hardware/desktop/225701855?subSect ion=News
(Yeah, you're less likely to get positive/useful feedback in a Flash forum... try a Mac forum, better yet, an iPad forum)
Any help much appreciated

Hi Mitchell,
I'll try to help you answering few questions. I'll be short now because dinner is almost ready.
My background and experience is web/print designer, but I have been researching and studying iPad since the original is out (I got iPad and iPad 2). I work in Windows environment, I actually embrace the iPad situation.
Ok, basically you want to have "interactive presentations including graphics and video content" for client?
The best answer for that at the moment is: HTML5, jQuery/JavaScript, and CSS. I am sure with those 3 can get something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc3fghSJvBM
That's actually an app. Obviously native App has some advantages over WebApp. Take a look at how Google tackle the iPad with its webapp. Lots of great example. Google uses a lot of jQuery in a smart way.
Maybe soon Adobe products will adapt and utilize more HTML5 for iPad. Maybe Flash would eventually go to iPad, who knows.
I actually manage to live "without Flash" and be more efficient with presentation. Less bling and splashy interaction, but still manage to give a "new" experience. I would probably ask the client to wait a bit. Study the available interactive magazines (Wired, GQ, Victoria Secret etc) and websites that utilize only HTML5, jQuery, and CSS to get that "Flash" feel.
There are really awesome Flash websites over the last few years, before iPad came along. We have gone almost "too much" with what Flash can do in term of giving interactive and layers and layers of interactive eye candies UI. Maybe it's time to be more efficient. Save the pixels for what really more important.
Anyhow, try a simple hack: use and experiment Splashtop app or similar app that allow mirroring of PC/Mac into the iPad. This way, you could have Flash on your iPad, as long there is a connected PC/Mac via Wi-Fi.
Try also presentation viewer for iPad, from Prezi.
Remember one thing: It does not have to be the iPad. We know iPad is cool, but if other tables (Android tablets) can actually view Flash and the experience is fine, then go for it. My opinion: Flash is not yet for multi-touch experience.
Tablet revolution is still really young, so, it's time to experiment.
