SMOOTH TRANSITION BETWEEN VIEWS?

I have created several views of a building i have drawn.
I have embeded links to the views, but the view change jumps very quickly. Is there a way i can make the camera zoom out slowly then refocus on the next selected view slowly?
Many thanks
David

up because I would like to do the same.. using GNOME atm without GDM (but I often switch to a openbox or compiz-standalone setups)

Need smoother transitions between .swf's

I have a website I am doing that has a flash intro with
music. I then have the site itself which is also designed in flash.
These 2 swf files sit on 2 different .html pages with an action
that tells one frame to go to the next "page".
My client whats it to be a smoother transition, almost like
its going within the same .swf fles. I tried to save the flash .fla
and just importat and try to figure it out how to import the
intro.swf file into my main flash site and to just add it at the
beginning. Bu this didn't work either...

Try using a fade-in or a fade-out
located in transitions
between the pics
play with the timing of the fade
this helps between all pics
but adds alot of time to the movie.

How do I do smooth transitions between clips?

After trimming clips, what type of effects do I need to use for smoother transitions? I tried several types of video transitions, for example Crossover Dissolve between the clips. But I want to show as if I never did any cuts or clippings even though I have done it. Did I make this clear?

You may want to ask yourself, "Why do I want to use a transition?"
As you think about this question watch any network TV program and look for the transitions. You will generally find very few transitions in a professional video. Those you do find will generally be dips to black rather than cross-dissolves. You will generally find cross-disolves being used only where the editor wanted to give a sense of time changing.
This s a situation in which less is more. I believe that a 1 sec cross-dissolve draws more attention to itself than would a 0 second cut.

Problems transitioning between views outside ViewController.

I have three view controllers, all derived from UIViewController; a RootViewController whose view is initially added to the main window, an 'intro' view controller and a 'main menu' view controller. I have two functions 'transitionToIntroViewController' and 'transitionToMainMenuViewController' which I call from a 'touchesEnded' event:
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event
static int i = 0;
if (0 == i)
[self transitionToIntroViewController];
else if (1 == i)
[self transitionToMainMenuViewController];
++i;
- (void)transitionToIntroViewController
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:3];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.view cache:YES];
[self viewWillDisappear:YES];
[introViewController viewWillAppear:YES];
[self.view addSubview:introViewController.view];
[self viewDidDisappear:YES];
[introViewController viewDidAppear:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
- (void)transitionToMainMenuViewController
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:3];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:introViewController.view cache:YES];
[introViewController viewWillDisappear:YES];
[mainMenuViewController viewWillAppear:YES];
[introViewController.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:mainMenuViewController.view];
[introViewController viewDidDisappear:YES];
[mainMenuViewController viewDidAppear:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
This works fine and I see the views as I should. However I want to control the transitions from outside the RootViewController by doing something like:
[theRootViewController transitionToIntroViewController];
When I do it this way I get log messages saying that the introViewController viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear, and viewDidAppear calls have executed but I do not see any change visually. As well the draw method of the view belonging to introViewController is executed correctly.
I also checked to ensure the view gets added via addSubView correctly and it does. It seems as if the z-order is not correct however I don't know how to check it.

Hi, thanks for the reply and the info on the keyword - that's what I get for being too lazy to read this particular forums syntax before posting :P
I checked the routing of the touches events and they do indeed correctly go to the introViewController once the transitionToIntroViewController is executed. I was able to respond to touchesEnded in the introViewController to then transition back to theRootViewController and receive touch events there once again.
I tried using the bringSubviewToFront with no change in behaviour. The other thing I thought may have made a difference is that the introViewController is constructed in another thread and the external call [theRootViewController transitionToIntroViewController] was also being executed from that thread. I moved the construction of the RootViewController to that thread with no change in behaviour.
The current setup is this:
// RootViewController
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event
MyAppDelegate* pMyAppDelegate = (MyAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
if (!([pMyAppDelegate.pMainThread isExecuting]))
[pMyAppDelegate.pMainThread start];
//FSMGameMachine::Instance()->Transition();
static int i = 0;
if (0 == i)
[self transitionToIntroViewController];
else if (1 == i)
[self transitionToMainMenuViewController];
++i;
- (void)transitionToIntroViewController
MyAppDelegate* pMyAppDelegate = (MyAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
//NSArray* parrBefore = [pMyAppDelegate.theWindow subviews];
NSArray* parrBefore = [self.view subviews];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:3];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.view cache:YES];
[self viewWillDisappear:YES];
[introViewController viewWillAppear:YES];
[self.view addSubview:introViewController.view];
[self viewDidDisappear:YES];
[introViewController viewDidAppear:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[introViewController.view willMoveToWindow:pMyAppDelegate.theWindow];
//NSArray* parrAfter = [pMyAppDelegate.theWindow subviews];
NSArray* parrAfter = [self.view subviews];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:introViewController.view];
int i = 0;
i++;
// GameThread
- (void)main
NSAutoreleasePool* pMainLoopPool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
FSMGameMachine* pGameMachine = FSMGameMachine::Instance();
RootViewController* pViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
MyAppDelegate* pMyAppDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
pMyAppDelegate.theRootViewController = pViewController;
[pMyAppDelegate.theWindow addSubview:[pViewController view]];
[pViewController release];
pGameMachine->Enter();
while (!bExit)
pGameMachine->Update();
pGameMachine->Draw();
pGameMachine->Exit();
[pMainLoopPool release];
// IntroState - Enter is the first thing executed from the above
// pGameMachine Enter method
void IntroState::Enter()
m_pController = [[IntroViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"InOutTro" bundle:nil];
[m_pController.theRootViewController transitionToIntroViewController];
[m_pController.theRootViewController.view bringSubviewToFront:m_pController.view];
{code}
It's setup to alternate back and forth between theRootViewController and the introViewController at the moment, so I'm not using the mainMenuViewController and haven't tested it with the fixed forView yet.
After being away from the code for a day I've got some better (or at least new) ideas of how to structure things to work around the issue but I'm still curious to know why the difference in behaviour exists.

Smooth transition between frames

Hi. Say If I have an animation which runs to frame 80 and the loops. On a button press, it goes to frame 81 and continues from there. Currently, when the button is pressed, there is a very noticable jump from the current frame to frame 81. The lower the frame number in the loop, the more noticable the jump. Is there anyway I can say something in my button press like if current frame is less than 80, wait until it hits frame 80 until you go to 81? Hopefully, this would make the transition smoother.
cheers

You can put a conditional on frame 80 that tests a boolean variable. If the variable is true (or false, you decide) you loop, if it is falue (or true) you continue on to frame 81. Whatever button you are talking about sets the value of that variable.

Smooth transitions between menus without using DVDSPs built-in transitions?

My project has two menus: a main menu and a chapter menu. When going from one menu to the other I would like to have the current menu fade out and the new menu fade in. When going from the end of the track or when using the remote menu button after getting to the track from the main menu I would like to have the main menu fade in (and the background for the chapter menu not appear). When using the remote menu button after getting to the track from the chapter menu I would like to have the chapter menu fade in (and the background for the main menu not appear).
I am able to accomplish what I described above by using DVDSPs built-in transitions. However, I have been advised by Trai Forrester that DVDSPs built-in transitions can cause problems: http://www.dvdverification.com/public/155.cfm I have therefore modified my project to not use DVDSPs built-in transitions, but in order to have my project behave as I have described above I found it necessary to use two versions of the main menu and two versions of the chapter menu. One version of the main menu has a video file that fades in the background of the main menu, while the second version of the main menu has a video file that fades out the background of the chapter menu and then fades in the background of the main menu. (Similarly one version of the chapter menu has a video file that fades in the background of the chapter menu, while the second version of the chapter menu has a video file that fades out the background of the main menu and then fades in the background of the chapter menu.)
My project behaves as desired using the two pairs of menu and does not use DVDSPs built-in transitions, so that pleases me. However, the almost-identical copies of the menus annoys me greatly. For an explanation of the programming principles that lead to my annoyance, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_duplication and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27trepeatyourself for elaboration.
Is there a way to have just two menus instead of two pairs of menus and achieve what I described above without using DVDSPs built-in transitions?
Looking forward to being surprised by a clever solution,
John Link

Since you have no audio or motion then try the jump to loop point script. Either way would be fine.
I played around with that a little bit and it seems that to get all the fade-outs I'd like to have would require several scripts and keeping track of SPRM 7. I think that I am going to abandon all of the fade-outs but keep the fade-ins. I can do that with a single main menu and a single chapter menu and not use the built-in transitions or any scripts at all. The behavior looks good and I think the disc will be very safe.
I agree, duplicating code is not good practice but remember your not writing code here - DVDSP is doing all this work under the hood for you.
I may not be writing code but I am programming the DVD and the principle of non-duplication is violated by almost-identical menus.
If you'd like check out a tool like My DVDEdit or AfterEdit
http://www.mydvdedit.com/
http://dvdafteredit.com/
It allows you to see the "real" DVD Structure which tools like DVDSP or Encore hide to make things simple. You can even go through the abstraction layer line by line to see how that SPRM 7 is used (wish I knew why that Sony Player doesn't work for your project).
Be sure to take a look at my report on the RDR-GX355: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1896575&tstart=0 That player also operates incorrectly on Concert for George: http://www.amazon.com/Concert-George-Andy-Fairweather-Low/dp/B0000CEB4V/ref=pdbbs_sr1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1233954620&sr=8-1
Its not rocket science (especially for a programming like yourself) but remember authoring a disc in DVDSP vs a spec tool like Scenarist isn't even in the same ballpark - not even the same sport Last time I heard Scenarist is down to $6000 - it was $20K a couple years ago.
That's a deal breaker! I'll be working with DVDSP in the foreseeable future.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Smooth transitions betwen audio

im ptreety new to the FCP world and am having trouble getting a smooth transition between two bits of audio (first bit is in sync with person on camera - second bit is voice over with other video) they are supposed to sound as though they were recorded at the same time (ie the guy you see talking at first is just continuing to talk over the other picture) but they weren't... the second section of audio was recorded at a different time so the level is a little different and the background hiss is different - and that's the biggest problem... when you hear that sound of nothing change its really easy to spot the cut in the audio... how can i smooth out this cut without having 'atmos' recorded at the locations when they were shooting?
can i dissolve the two bits of audio or something?
help! this is driving me crazy!

Get a third track of room tone sound put it under both clips to start. Yes, you can do audio dissolves. Slect the edit point on the clips and hit Command OptionT to add a dissolve. Also, you probably want to look into the audio filters for some EQ, etc. This is the basic way to get started. You might not be able to "cure" the problem, but you should be able to get it to sound a lot better.

Seamless transitions between externally loaded movie clips

I'm building a flash player that loads various movie clips in succession depending on user input. The player should continue to play seamlessly when one clip ends and another starts playing, however there is always a slight noticeable delay between the COMPLETE event for one clip and the actual playing of the next clip. I am using the FLVPlayback component to load the video clips, with successive clips loaded in different players in the component.
I've tried playing the next video a short duration before the current video finishes by adding a cue point just before the end of the currently running clip (about 200 - 300 ms before the end). This improves matters somewhat, but it is not a reliable method as the timings are different for different browsers and computer specs.
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with smooth transitions between external video clips and could suggest possible optimizations I could use to improve the transitions.

Thank you for replying.
The video clips basically continues the same shot only with different directions, so I can't fade out between transitions. It needs to appear as though it's playing a single video clip in that respect (a one-shot scene).
Another major issue is that there is music playing for each video which should continue playing without interuptions. Even a small gap is noticeable with audio. I thought about separating the audio and video streams but that could mean they could go out of sync as the more transitions occur.

How do I make transitions between clips smooth?

how do I make transitions between clips smooth? Right now, when I play my video in imovie, the clips freeze or jump between clips.

Have you tried sharing the final movie using the Share menu, or, alternatively use FILE/FINALIZE PROJECT?
The final product shouldn't have any lag. iMovie itself should not have any lag, but could depending on your Memory and hard disk configuration.

Can you display multiple photos on one page with slide tool to transition between them?

Hi Folks,
I have a series of photos taken from the exact same location but on different days. I would like to display them on one page but use a slide tool/bar to move or transition between the photos. If the slide bar can display the date of the photo then that would be great.
Can this be done in adobe?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

A Steve mentioned you can use a button to display an image. If you use JavaScript, you wouldn't have to show/hide multiple buttons but could instead dynamically set the button icon programmatically. The setup for something like this is a bit involved, but it's not overly complicated. Post again if you'd like more details.
The slide bar is the thing that would have to faked as there is no such built-in control, but something functionally equivalent could be done, it just may not behave as smoothly as you want.

Transition Between iMoive and FCPX

Hi, I was a iMovie user and recently I started to use FCPX. However, I am facing a big problem on transition in FCPX. I don't know why, when I put the transition between two videos, it doesn't go smooth as in iMoive; I mean it feels like in FCPX the transition "eat" up the video, its like I can hear two videos audio within the transition. It doesn't happen to me when I use the transition in iMovie. I'm lost!! Please help!!! Thank you.

In FCPX, if you click on the transition in the storyline to select it, and check the inspector, the bottom section is Audio Crossfade. You can design the respective fades (both default to S-curve, but your other options are Linear, +3dB and -3dB.)
Another thing you can do is manually edit the audio outside the transition. Here's how:
double click on the audio part of the clip in the storyline for both incoming and outgoing clips -- that should "Expand Audio/Video". Apply your transition to the video (audio will not be involved). [If your transitions are already in place, just double click on the audio tracks just outside the bounds of the transition; the audio will expand out of the transition.] You can use the audio level controls (a.k.a. Audio Animation) on the edges of the audio (small circle at the 0dB line - drag them to set a length; right click on the circle controls to set a fade type.)
Other options: with expanded audio, you can trim just the audio portions (expanded, the audio trim is separate from the video trim - this allows J and L split edits...) of the clip so you can have the audio be silent within a transition, or you can set the two audio portions to meet in the middle instead of overlap, and apply a quick fade out/in with the audio animation controls.

Transition between photos

I have been having a problem with the transition between clips on my iMovie. it still goes from clip to clip but is really choppy. I've tried removing the photo and replacing it but that hasn't seemed to help. I want a slide show that is smooth and not cheesy looking. can someone help me?

That sounds like a rendering problem with your computer. If you download iStat from the internet and go to System Preferences and turn it on, does your computer show that it is using all its CPU or memory to play back your video? If so, leave iMovie for a while and then come back to it and play it again. Is it now smooth?

Fading transition between multiple streaming flv files

I am currently accomplishing this by switching between two NetStream, NetConnection, VideoPlayer combinations. The problem is that it is considerably cumbersome. Is there a better (easier) way of doing this? I looked into the play2() method, but it doesn't seem to have any way of overlapping the streams to create a seemless fade-in/fade-out.
Thanks for any help.

There is 1-to-1 relationship between NetStream and Video it is played in. So, seamlessness/smooth transitions (however you define it) cannot be achieved with the same NetStream.
play2() is designed for dynamic streaming of the same asset encoded at different bit rates from FMS.

Sharing a subview between views

What is the best way to share a sub view between many other views.
For example say I have two View controllers that both require a common view that has 3 buttons on it.
What is the best way to do this?
Should be creating all the views in Interface Builder.
What I don't understand is how do I get the common view w/ 3 buttons to show up on the other two views which have their own content + this common view?
Thanks,

mzmuda wrote:

The best structure will depend on where the view switching controls are located, what kind of transition is made (e.g. is there a navigation controller?), how often you use the common subview, any features besides 4 buttons on the subview, etc.
The easiest structure isn't likely to be the best when the above factors are considered, but it makes a good example:
Build a xib file which is owned by a root controller (which could be the app delegate, the root controller of a nav controller, etc. To this xib, add 2 or more view controllers for the separate content views, and one additional view controller for the common subview. All of these view controllers will manage one view, and all of these view controllers will be connected to an IBOutlet of the File's Owner. After placing the controls you want on the common subview, connect the action methods to the File's Owner (i.e. the root controller will host all of the subview control action methods as well as the method which transitions between the content views).
Depending of the type of transition you want, here are two view management alternatives:
1) Make the "common subview" a sibling of the content views instead of an actual subview. In this case the common view would always be the topmost sibling, and the content views would be swapped under it (e.g. using insertSubview:belowSubview:).
2) At some point during the transition remove the subview from viewFrom and add it to viewTo.
I think no. 1 is more likely to work best with most transitions, but you'll want to test your animation choice before committing to the structure.
Hope the above helps to inform your design. If you need a structure which uses separate nibs (e.g. to make it easier to shed memory), give us more details and maybe someone here can give you more ideas.

Transition between clips

Hi again,
I'm having trouble putting the "doors" transition between my clips - have zoomed in and there is no smaller clips in between. If I have not allowed for the extra frames (or handles) after trimming clips, is there any way to remedy this?
Thanks.
P.S. I can actually put the transition in, but other frames I don't want show up even though I have trimmed everything off and deleted and closed gap between clips!

Snap is a function available (toggle with the S key) in the Timeline, where when a Clip, or a Transition, is near to the beginning, or end, of a Clip, the object being dragged will "jump" to those junctures. This makes dragging and dropping Clips, for instance, onto the Timeline, so that they are adjacent to previous, or following Clips. I leave it on most of the time, as it speeds up dragging, and dropping. It will also function, if, one is click-dragging the Tail of one Clip, and they want it to expand only to the Head of the next Clip.
Now, remember, Snap sees the entire Timeline - all Video and Audio Tracks. If one has Clips on those, even if they are scrolled out of view, Snap will function on them, as well. This can get a bit confusing, when many Tacks are populated, especially if they ARE scrolled out of view.
Snap gets in the way of trying to do things like repair OOS (Out Of Sync) issues. As one slide the Audio Clip, it will want to jump to the beginning, or end of another Clip. That is usually NOT what the editor wants. There, I turn it OFF, so I can effortlessly slide my Audio exactly the number of frames that I want, without having to "fight" Snap. Again, I turn it back on, when I go back to general editing.
There is one instance, where it can cause issues. Do not know if this has been changed, as of PrE7. It is especially common, if one is zoomed out on the horizontal view of the Timeline. Basically, if one is too forceful, when dragging and placing an Asset onto the Timeline and they "jam" this new Clip up to the Tail of another with too much "force," Snap will allow one to jump slightly past the Tail of the existing Clip by a Frame, or two. That alone would not be a big deal. What happens to those Frames, however, can be. They get sheared off and then are placed at the end of the last Clip on the Timeline. If one shortens the Duration of several Clips along the way, these one-two Frame "orphans" stay out at the end. One can end up with a desired Duration of say 00;10;39;00, but in reality the Timeline might be 00;11;00;00. It is because of the orphans way out past where the editor "thought" the Timeline should end, and they are often out of sight, unless one hits the \ [backslash] key, to zoom out to the full view of the Timeline. Then, the orphans will be seen. One of the last things that I always do, before Export is hit \, to see my entire Timeline. This checks for orphans, and also any Clips that I forgot.
If Snap is OFF, what happens when you have a Clip on the Timeline and drag another "over" it, is the first Clip is "rolled up," i.e. its Out Point is moved in, from where it was set. Now, there are no orphans, but one has shortened the first Clip, and that is usually NOT what they want to do. Careful, non-forceful use of Snap will allow one to butt the dragged Clip right up to the previous one - just do not JAM it in there. Be gentle, like you were working with original film and not digital media.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt
