Size independent of mask

If I put a mask on a hugh photo, I cannot size and move the pic independent of the mask. The mask follows. I need for the mask to tell the image only show up where there is white. How can I tell the image to only show where there is white in the layer below.
this would be easy in Final Cut but Motion seems makes you attach a mask on a pic.

Try add matte - cmd-shift-m. Then drag a shape into it. This will be totally independent of the photo itself. or draw a mask for a layer and put the photo in the layer. Then you can move the mask and the photo completely independently...

  • Hi, I just watched a Collin Smith How to Hide a Face with AE video. I'm stuck on mask movement size

    I created the mask successfully and I can get it to follow the face while hiding it... but as the person moves away, I'd like to change the mask to a smaller size to avoid covering more than the head.
    Here's the video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/no-stupid-questions-with-colin-smith/how-to-hide-a-face-in-after -effects/
    Here's the question I left for Collin Smith:
    Hi, your video was extremely clear and I followed along well. My one question is... what if the person moves closer and further away. When the person is close my mask is perfect, but as they move away it becomes too large and covers shoulders and back. Is there anyway to adjust the size of the mask like we do the position as he moves? Thanks again.

    Keyframe the mask path.

  • Loading external SWF with masked content - get size of masked area

    I am loading an external swf using the SWFLoader component. The swf that is being loaded is masked so that only a portion is being shown. However, when it's loaded the actual size of the swf (loader.content.width && loader.content.height) is the complete swf including the masked area. Therefore, the loaded swf does not display properly in the itemrenderer Is there a way to to grab the size of the just the masked area as opposed to getting the size of the entire swf's contents (area not masked)?
    One item to note that is complicating the issue, is that these are swf files that have already been created and there are many of them. In some instances, the size of the stage matches up with the size of the masked area. In other instances, the stage is larger (or possibly smaller) than the masked area movieclip as well as possibly the actual size of the movieclip (w/o the mask).
    I am currently loading the external swf in using a Loader. Once loaded, I make a copy (screen shot) of the swf by creating a bmp of the loader.content.This is done as I don't want to have any animations being shown on screen at this moment. I am setting the size of the bmp using using loader.content.width & loader.content.height. I then set the SWFLoader.source to the bitmap.

    Here's the code I am using to load the swf:
         <fx:Script>
                <![CDATA[
            protected  function application1_applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void {
                 loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSWFLoaded);
                 loader.load(new URLRequest("c:\\Flex Testing\\FA warns Mr. Jones.swf"),  context);
            private function  onSWFLoaded(event:Event):void {
                bmData=new  BitmapData(loader.content.width, loader.content.height, true, 0x990000);
                 bmData.draw(loader.content, new Matrix());
                bmp=new  Bitmap(bmData);
                swfLoader.source=bmp;
                 addElement(swfLoader);
                with (swfLoader)

  • How to create locale independent masked JFormattedTextField for date?

    I need to create formatted text field with mask for entering date. Mask must be deduced from current locale setting.
    For example US locale has this: "06/28/2005", but czech has "28.6.2005".
    Attention: czech hasn't zero before 6, so day or month length may vary from 1 to 2 characters, not only 2 characters as US, and month and day positions are swapped.
    How to create date parsing from JFormattedTextField locale independent, including mask generating?
    Thank you,
    Tony

    E.g.
    JFormattedTextField tf = new JFormattedTextField();
    tf.setValue(new Date());/Kaj

  • Material Cost Estimate with different lot size.

    What happens if the material cost estimate is run twice using different lot sizes each time  (all other parameters unchanged) for the same period?
    Will the cost estimate run later overwrites the results from cost estimate run earlier (though the lot size is different)? What is the role of lot size in a material cost estimate?

    The costing lot size impacts your cost estimate if you have lot size independent costs (i.e. setup cost).  Those fixed costs are spread over the costing lot sizee to give you a cost per unit..  Larger costing lot sizes can also help you minimize rounding issues.
    You can only have one marked cost estimate in a given period.  However, you can create and save a cost estimate as many times as you want as long as you have not marked it for release.  When you save the estimate it will overwrite an existing estimate.  You also have the option of creating multiple estimates under different versions or with different costing variants.

  • Change column size

    At the publisher's request, I need to change the book size from 7x10 to 7.5x10.5
    I would like to avoid reformatting every page in every chapter.  I want to keep the column size the same and just increase the margins.  However, when i change the page size, the three columns automatically adjust to that new size.
    I have tried selecting "adjust layout" but it doesn't help.  There doesn't seem to be any option for columns except how many there are.  Is there any way to adjust column size independent of page size?

    Peter's last answer was pretty good.
    Did you make your columns by drawing three text boxes on a page, or by drawing a single text box with three columns inside it?
    Did you make your columns by making a master page? Or did you draw a whole bunch of text boxes for each page of your document?

  • Using Mask To 'Zoom' In On Photo?!

    Hi all,
    I'm struggling a bit to produce a smooth outcome for an effect I am trying to acheive.  I am currently working on an awards show video presentation featuring a variety of photos which I would like to animate.  My main strife comes when I mask a photo with the intention of the size of the mask remaining the same while the image within the mask is scaled up or down and perhaps moves using the Anchor Point to shift the focus of the image.  Another way to describe this would be that I would like to zoom in/out on an image that is contrained by a frame which does not change size or position.
    One method I have attempted is to draw a rectangular mask around the image at the point when it first enters the composition.  This first mask is the exact size of the 'frame' I want to perserve.  I then duplicate the image layer/mask, move forward in time on the original image layer and animate the scale and perhaps anchor point.  Then using the duplicated image as a guide, I animate the original mask path to match the duplicated size, which is done by sight.  I leave the key frames linear, but still can';t get it right as the mask still appears to grow and then reduce again. Take a look at this example below.
    I have attempted to copy the exact values of hte original 'frame' mask size, but those values scale with the layer itself and the frame does not retain it's original size.
    I have feeling I am missing a trick in terms of perhaps pre-comping this or parenting, etc.  Can anybody point me to a tutorial or tip that can help me smooth this out?
    Please let me know if you require any other informaiton, etc.  I am running CS5 on a Windows 7 PC.
    Thank you,
    Lindsay

    You can make a solid, mask it to the size you want, and use it as a track matte for the picture below it.  You can then scale the picture as you wish, and the size remains the same.

  • Generating full-size image from thumbnail using BLOB DB images

    Hi all,
    Assuming that all necessary steps were taken in other posts and tutorials to display images on a web page from BLOB objects stored in an Oracle 10g DB, how is it possible to set the size of the created images (from the servlet that creates the image file from BLOB) so that it is smaller than the actual image in the DB. the user would then have to click the image to open the full image.
    would this be done by possibly creating 2 servlets, one that displays a smaller version, and one that displays the actual image?
    i don't see how this can be done since the url property of each image is bound to the url of the servlet. If the thumbnail has a url pointing to image produced by thumbnail servlet, would i assign an action handler for clicking the image that redirects to a url given by the full size image servlet? or should i use an image hyperlink instead?
    any help is always appreciated!

    Suggest you take this one step at a time.
    1. Create a database and store your images in it. (Or write the upload mechanism if you need it).
    2. Display your full size images.
    3. Display your full size images as thumbnail size. (Performance will not be good but you'll have results.) Creator allows you to set image size independantly of the size of the underlying image.
    4. Modify the servlet you wrote in step three to optionally reduce the resolution (or quality) based on an input parameter.

  • Keeping Unique 1D Size in 2D array

    Is there a way to force Labview to maintain the original array dimension independently from one another when creating 2D or even possibly 3D arrays?  It appears to be autosized every set of inputs to the maximum size.  But I want to maintain each set of array size independent from one another.  How do I do that?
    Attachments:
    2D Array.vi ‏9 KB

    Sure.  Here is a screenshot showing buffer allocations.  Note the extra copy of the cluster using the traditional extraction of a single element from the array of clusters of arrays.  It is not there if using the In Place Element.  Code is is LabVIEW 8.5 (when the In Place Element was introduced).
    Note that in LabVIEW 2009, the buffer viewer will show a buffer on the output of the index array in the In Place Element.  This buffer is not a full copy, but a static allocation to handle indexing an out-of-bounds element.

  • How to make lot size dependent in Material master?

    Hello Experts,
                   I created a Material master for a Finished product in Pharma industry and in work scheduling screen, under the section "In house production time in days", I see that "lot size independent". What change(s) in my settings in the Material Master can change it to "lot size dependent"?
    Does any changes in the  "Lot size data" section in the view "MRP1" have any effect on this field?
    Also one more question:
    Where is the Usage for BOM first specified? Is it in material Master or when creating a BOM?
    Thank you.
    Message was edited by: Visu Venkat

    Hi Visu
    No,Lot size data in MRP1 view will not have any effect in inhouse production time in work scheduling view.
    You need to maintain the base qty in work scheduling in order to get the scheduling time for lot size dependant.
    BOM useage is first specified only during BOM creation.
    Suppose if u maintain the BOM useage in material master before creation of BOM, then still u can create a BOM with different useage. During these case, there will be always inconsistencies.
    Hence Useage is always specified first during BOM creation.
    Hope u r clear now.
    Regards
    Vijay

  • IMAQ Quantify rseults with use of image mask are not of the right regeons

    I'm using the IMAQ quantify VI from labview to analize a binairy image. This binairy image is an 8bit image that consists only of pixels with the value 0 or 1. The places of the binairy  image where the pixels have the value 0, mean that a corresponding image has not data in that place. A pixel value of 1 means that there is data that should be processed later in the program in the corresponding image.
    The quantify function is also used to devide the image in 666 regeons with the use of the image mask input. These regeons are squares of 22x22 pixels. The image mask consists of 666 regeons (horizontally 74 sqaures, vertically 9 sqaures) and each of the regeons has his own regeonal number. The resulting regeonal report is used to decide whether each regeon has data in it or not, with the use of the mean value in the report. When the mean value is equal to 0 than it is sure that there is no data in that regeon since all the pixels in the regeon have to have the value of 0. If the mean is not 0 at least one of the pixels in that regeon has the value of 1, wich means that there is data in the regeon. The image mask is created from an 2D array wich is converted to an 16 bit image with the use of IMAQ ArrayToImage.
    I've checked that the input data is correct: the binairy image consist of only 1 and 0 values, the image mask is consist of 666 sqaures of 22x22 pixels and each sqaure has pixels in it with the value corresponding to the regeonal number of the sqaure, the binairy image and the image mask have the same size, the image mask is an 16 bit image and both images have the same border size (3).
    Two problems occur:
    1) The regeonal report doesn't consist of 666 elements, but of 665 elements (element 0 to 664)
    2) The data in the regeonal report is not of the right area's. It looks like the data is shifted one to the right in the regeonal report array, the data in element 0 isn't from regeon 0 but from regeon 1, element 1 corresponds to regeon 2, and so on. I'm haven't checked if the data is exactly of the next regeon, but I suspect it because of the regeonal report array being one short. But it is also possible that the regeons aren't placed on the right place in the binary image.
    If someone else occured this problem with the IMAQ Quantify function or has a solution to it, I would really apreaciate a reply.

    Isn't there anybody who encountered the same problem or with an solution?
