Smooth Edge Animations in DPS.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to smooth out the playing of Edge animations in DPS? My Edge animations play smooth as butter in any browser but stutter a little in DPS on the iPad-3. I know many have suggested not having such complex animations but that just limits the creativity and that's not what we are looking for.
Is there anything I can change in Edge to smooth the animation out?
I have tried playing with the Preloader settings, changing from "Immediate" (default) to "Polite" with no visible difference.
I have read that you can set off stage elements to "Off" from "Always On" but I don't get that one completely because eventually they all make there way on stage and if they are set to "Off" they don't show up when moved on stage.
I don't believe there is anything more than setting Edge animations to delay by 0.125 seconds in Indesign that affect Edge animations.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank,
Ryan.

Hi DPS friends...
Macquarie Group have a nice DPS app with simple animations on most articles giving the overall folio a nice lift. I'm wondering if anyone wants to say how these animations were done OR how best to do them? Are they best done as Edge Animations, Photoshop Animations or buttons with animated gifs??

I'm trying to place my edge animation in dps but I can't swipe over it to take me to the next page?

Hi, could anyone help with this?
I'm using an edge animation on the Samsung Galaxy and it won't allow me to swipe over to go to the next page. Does anyone have a solution to this, or can this not be done? Please advise.
Thanks

Hey Ross,
Another user had the same problem and came up with this workaround:
With regards to using it in DPS, it's not an ideal solution but I imported it as a web overlay rather than an html article and made it smaller than full page so there is a border around the edge on which the user can swipe to turn the page and tap to see menu options.

Edge animation in DPS: Always rasterized?

Hi, folks
I have been making my first very simple animation with typography in Adobe Edge Previev CS 6.1. Everything OK but... I start with illustrator files with SVG. When placed in InDesign (as *.oam file), uploaded (PDF format) with DPS and shown in Adobe Conten Viewer, it is rasterized.
I know that Overlays are in general rasterized but I had the (seemingly wrong?) idea that Edge animations were treated in a different way and that they were not always rasterized.
So, the question is: Is there anyway I could place an animation in DPS so that is not rasterized. I mean: Placed PDFs retain in DPS their vector quailities and they look gorgeous at any size. Is that not possible yet with animations? (Will it ever be in a near future?).
Thanks a lot

PS. I would like to thank you all in this forum. This place and its participants is a priceless resource to learn DPS.

This is a bug in Edge. This post in the Edge forums goes over it. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4287158

Hey guys,
Sorry about all the issues with SVG. This is a bug we're working on a fix for, thanks for bringing it up. It is indeed a huge pain since the whole point of SVG is to scale!

How do I place a text frame/ botton over Edge Animation in DPS

As I said in the title, how do I do that?
Thank you!

You can make MSO from your text (same for button).
Select text frame and create MSO. You will get MSO with 2 states, each state contains the thext frame. Select this MSO and set AUTO PLAY in Overlay Creator/Slideshow window. Then arrange the MSO on top of Edge animation.
Please let know if it works.

I can't swipe to next page after placing my edge animation in dps

I've created an animation in Edge and exported it as a .oam file. I've placed it into dps (full page size) and although it plays fine I'm no unable to swipe between pages.
Initially I thought instead of using the animation at the full page size I could use it smaller so I would be able to swipe the area outside of the animated object. My problem with this is that the background of the page is a coloured gradient and as I've not managed to export my animation with a transparent background I need to set the background up in Edge also. This leaves me with the problem of how to navigate to the next page?
Im new to Edge (as you can probably tell) so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Ross,
There's currently a bug when using DPS where the poster image won't clear from the composition and remains in the background when it plays in DPS. Does your animation automatically play? If so I have a workaround for you.
If you set your poster image to transparent, and your stage to transparent, the animation will play on a transparent background. Create a 1x1 transparent png and import it into your EA composition. In the publish settings, set this PNG file to be your poster image.
Also be sure to set your stage colour to 0% alpha.
Publish and you should be good to go.
As for not being able to swipe, Animate compositions import as "Web Overlays" which means overlay in the most literal sense; they are placed on top of your publication so any interactivity you have may interfere with the gestures of your publication as created in ID. You can opt to turn interactivity off in the web overlay panel in ID, though this might defeat the purpose of your placed composition. It sounds like in your case if you're able to get the transparent stage to work this might remedy some of the problems you were having.
HTH,
Sarah

Edge animations don't work properly in DPS.

I've recently update CC to the latest 2014 version and since then Edge animations don't work properly in DPS (struggle to load and play). Can anyone help?

Hi Bob,
What real details do you need? I create a digital magazine using DPS with the occasional Edge oam file inserted to lift a couple of the openers. However recently, they either stutter on loading, don't load or crash the viewer/ipad. I test them in Content viewer.
Thanks

Why won't my adobe edge animations play from the start each time they are loaded on an Adobe DPS layout?

Hi there
I have an adobe DPS document with several pages, and edge animations on each page. I want each animation to play from the start when each page is opened, however, the playback seems to be very inconsistent. Some animations play from the start, others half way through, and some playback incorrectly. I want to also be able to return to each page and have the animations reload, instead of just displaying the final frame of the animation.
I have played around with the delay time which doesnt seem to fix it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dan

Hi, Im DPS projects medias like video, audio, animation html5 dosen´t reload inside the same article, just between the articles. Better produce articles just one page and change pages with horizontal swipe Regards

Why won't my Edge animation play in DPS?

I've created a very simple animation of svg elements fading from 0-100% opacity (no code) in Adobe Edge. When I import it into folio (set for for iPad) the animation would not play. When I preview it on desktop, I would only see the poster image and then quickly fade to white. From what I've read in one of the other forums, I have the Edge animation set up for retina (2048x1536), and then in InDesign: 1024, in folio: 2048; however, still no luck. I published the animation for Animate Deployment Package (oam), really can't think of anything else that might have gone wrong...
Please help, thanks!

Hi Elaine,
This is Annie, I just updated my account to the company's account.
Thank you so much for for your help, I was able to download the zip file. As it turns out I wasn't using the latest edge animate and indesign. After updating everything, as well as downloading the DPS destop tool kit http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5571 I tried to open the file you sent me. I got the error message: An error has occured while generating article preview. Could not find the adobe content viewer. So I tried to download the content viewer again but still, same message. I really can't figure out why...

DPS and simple Edge animation - help

Hi-
I am having problems getting a very simple edge animation to work in my adobe digital publishing folio.
I have several kinds of other advanced web overlays using css3 transformations, other using jquery that work perfectly.
I thought I would save some time and try using edge for one simple animation, but nothing shows in the content overlay desktop preview or the ipad previewer. Or sometimes it all just spins and spins the desktop previewer never launches, and I have to force quit out of InDesign and restart my computer.
I have tried uploading the whole file folder as HTMLResources.zip as well as just linking to the index.html file.
My InDesign DPS is the most recent version CS 5.5 and Edge is the most recent preview.
I have also tried these tips - that were posed in a previous thread:
The first tip is to rename the InDesign layer after placing the animation.
In the Layers panel locate the sub-layer that represents the placed HTML. It may be named <rectangle>. You can locate it more easily if the animation is selected. When an object is selected the square to the right of the object will display in color.
Rename the sub-layer in such a way that removes the angle brackets. (Anything meaningful, just no brackets.) There’s some evidence that the angle brackets are causing issues when the content goes to DPS.
The next tip is around settings for making the animation play when you display the page. Here are the settings.
Auto-play = ON
Delay = 0.125
Can anyone see something that I may be doing wrong? Is Edge compatible with DPS?
Thank you!

It seems to me that the culprit lies in the generic name of the object <rectangle>, not necessarily in the Edge animation.
I had an issue with a simple button object that went away after renaming <rectangle> (the contents of the button was a simple rectangle filled with a RGB color) to something else.
The issue leads to a none working button in the Desktop Content Viewer to preview the folio or the article.

Re: Placing Edge animations into an article in DPS

I am trying to place an interactive info graphic — created in EDGE animate — on a page of an article in DPS. I would like the reader to be able to click on the animation graphic and have it launch full screen and then be interactive — for the reader to be able to move thru the various screens, charts and graphs. I've tried placing it as an imbedded HTML document, as an animation, etc. but I'm not having any luck. Is this possible to do and if so, how? I am a DPS Pro user, creating my articles/folios in InDesignCC on a Mac running OSX 10.9.2. I have had success placing videos, audio, slide shows, scrolling frames, etc. just not the EDGE animation. BTW the file I'm placing has an .oam extention. The interactivity works great in EDGE. Any ideas? THX

AFAIK, that’s not possible. When you place an OAM file you are creating a web content overlay and the frame is going to act as a view port.
You could I suppose create an MSO and then use a full screen size Edge file that would launch as the second state when you tap a button.

DPS not displaying round corner in Edge animation

Hello, I have a somewhat simple edge animation with round buttons made with rounded shapes. The button display other elemts in the animation when clicked.
When imported to DPS and preview in content viewer, all circles are rendered as squares. Any suggestions? Script behaviors work fine, just the shape changes.

Yes it works fine in a browser.
Btw I found the solution...
I changed the round corner setting from % to px and now works fine in DPS, I dunno if that is considered a bug or not

Issue with multiple Edge animations in the same article. Please help!

We have 3 edge animations in our 3 page article, one in eache page. The first edge animation you view autoplays great, however when you swipe down or up the other animations just wont play. All of them set to autoplay 0.125 with transparent background. It seems that no matter which one you see first, it kills the other two. We tried importing HTML and DPS from Edge with the same results.
Thank you in advance!
al3nai

I just did a quick test and experienced mixed results. I placed a single edge animation on the first page of a horizontal article, then placed the same edge animation on three pages of the vertical orientation (dual-orientation folio). The edge animation shows up perfectly on the horizontal layout, but only displays on pages 1 and 3 of the vertical orientation. It does not load on page 2.
I also placed an additional Web Content Overlay on page two connecting to a website which loads fine. The edge animation shows the spinning/loading icon but nothing loads.
Sorry, not much help here just sharing similar bugs.

How do I import my edge animation in indesign so that it can play within a PDF file

how do I import my edge animation in indesign so that it can play within a PDF file??
Plz help.

Hi there,
Have you tried reading this tutorial on exporting Edge Animate files to be used in InDesign?
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/enhancing-your-dps-folios-with -edge-animations.edu.html
Edge Animate files can be played in DPS folios. PDFs are not capable of playing Edge Animate files at this time. I did find a work around to get SWF files to play in PDF documents:

I hope this helps!

Trigger Edge Animation on page load

I am using multiple Edge Animations in a DPS document I am creating. When I open the book, all of the animation begin to play at the same time.
Is there a way to trigger the animation to start when the user turns to the page the animation is on?

I'm trying to accomplish the same with recent versions of indesign and edge CC, but I'm not having sucess with autoplay and .125 delay.
Is there a work around for CC?
Thanks,
Erik
