Smoother Scrolling in the Timeline?

Is there a setting that would allow me to scroll smoothly through the timeline when I drag the timeline indicator? As it is, when I drag it through the timeline it's very jumpy and lags behind the selection tool.

If you're playing the timeline, the timeline scroll bar at the bottom of the timeline window will lag. If you use the hand tool, it's much less choppy. If you have a mouse with a track ball instead of a scroll wheel, you can use that and it's much better than the scroll bar. If you have a tablet, you can set up the stylus to scroll sideways while holding one of the stylus buttons. That's what I use, and it's very smooth.

Then find out.
What exact version number of AE CS5.5 do you have? Help>About will tell you.
Your composition settings will tell you your composition settings. And surely you must know what sort of footage you have in your scene and what effects you've applied.
Also, the exact wording of any and all error messages would help.

Can you add smooth scrolling in the next update?

It would be very, very, VERRRYY nice if they added Smooth Scrolling in an update of Safari.
IE, Firefox and Chrome support it, and I think that actually, alot of people didn't notice or want this feature.
So.. please add it, pretty please, because I and alot of others prefer Safari to other browsers...

Apple is trying to slowly slice ties with Google so that is why they removed the YouTube app as well as made their own Maps app.
Google has already made their own YouTube app that is on the App Store for free but right now it is only for iPhone, they will release a version for the iPad soon.

Is there anyway to capture the scrolling through of the timeline?

When you scroll throw the timeline back and forth really fast you sort of get this really smooth fast motion motage effect that can't be achieved with other iMovie effects. Is there a program or something that can be used to capture this?

SnapzPro X.
About $70.
It can record nearly anything (DVD's are an exception) that plays on your computer display.

How can I make the Smooth Scrolling option in the Advanced menu apply ONLY to the tab bar?

So, I'm one of those people who usually have 60+ tabs open at any given time. I'm also on a Lenovo laptop with a trackpoint (that may be relevant later).
Right now, I have smooth scrolling disabled.
In previous versions of Firefox, if I sat my cursor on the tab bar and scrolled either up or down, it would scroll across my tab bar at a constant, quick rate, usually taking about two or three seconds to reach the end. This wasn't an animated scroll (I've disabled that animated scroll via about:config in the current Firefox version).
However, now, it's doing something different. There's acceleration to the scroll. If I just tap the scroll in either direction, it scrolls only a few tabs. However, if I hold the scroll for a second, it instantaneously takes me to the far end of the tab bar, completely skipping at least thirty tabs in between.
I have tab scroll buttons added by Tab Mix Plus (smooth scrolling is also not enabled in that addon), and the same accelerating behavior occurs there. One or two taps of the button moves the bar a few tabs to the left or right, but several taps in quick succession takes me all the way to the far end of the bar.
I can restore the old scrolling behavior for the tab bar by turning on smooth scrolling in the Options > Advanced menu, but that turns on smooth scrolling for web pages at the same time. I don't like the web page smooth scrolling, and would rather not have it on.
Or if there's any other way to make it so that scrolling the tab bar moves the tab bar a fixed amount no matter what, that would be great.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

What happened to the "smooth scrolling" option? It used to be in the preferences menu, but now iPhoto just jumps through events...

There used to be an option to make scrolling smooth in iPhoto, but since some update, it no longer exists. I dislike non-smooth scrolling because the events just jump up the page and it is difficult to follow them with a sensitive trackpad (which I prefer in other applications).

In what mode are you referring to? Photos? With or without Event Titles displayed? In the Photos mode with titles displayed there is a bug regarding scrolling down the events with some of the events open and some closed or all closed. But with all events open or titles not showing it seems the same as it was in iPhoto 8 (09).

Smooth Scrolling : folio size VS article size

Hi
I'd like to create a smooth scrolling article just like in DPS TIPS "Effects" by Bob Bringhurst.
I follow the steps from the article but it does not work.
What I want to to is to have a 1024*768 (horizontal only) folio that includes articles that may be longer than 768 height (let's say 1024*2000).
If I create a 1024*768 FOLIO and import articles that are 1024*2000
i cannot upload because it says :
Error generating content.
[Error: The proportions of the page size must match the folio.]
If I create a 1024*2000 (example) FOLIO and then import articles that are exactly 1024*2000
- it works (well I can upload) but i can only import articles that have the exact dimensions of the folio, the DPS TIPS says "you can mix and match Smooth Scrolling and non sooth scrolling articles in a folio".
And then the problem is I never ever see the folio on my Content Viewer on the iPad then.
I can only see it it the Folio Producer.
There's a point that says "You cannot create horizontal smooth scrolling article, the workaround is to create scrollable frames, which can now include interactive overlays"
What bugs me is that in the example we can see an Horizontal Smooth Scrolling (1024*2000 just like in my examples and tests)
If the only workaround is to cretae scrollables frames, I'll do so but maybe I just missed something ?

yes it has/had.
i closed eveything, did everything again and now it works, maybe it was just a bug or i missed something, everything's fine for now thanx !

Tips for moving around the timeline

Trying to get the hang of this Premiere thing and use as many keyboard shortcuts as possible. I've skimmed through the online help and picked up some useful ones (like - + \ for zooming)
Is there any way to scroll vertically besides the scroll bars? The hand tool only wants to scroll horizontally.
Also, if I'm zoomed in, how do I scroll down the timeline? Page Up/Down only gets me to the next clip.
Any shortcuts to twirl open a track?
Lastly, is there any sort of gap detector? Trying to hunt down 1 frame gaps is a pain.

Colin, but what do you think about consistency between applications within a suite?
Well, I agree that's important, but you need to consider that they're still different applications with different purposes and different modalities.
After Effects is temporally-based, but it's also--and perhaps more so--spatially-based. What I mean is that, while you are concerned with timing in AE (naturally--it's for animating), you're also focusing largely on positioning elements in space. In AE, everything resides on its own layer, even if parts of a comp are separated by time.
In Premiere Pro, the focus is different. Yes, of course, you're positioning things spatially, particularly since PPro has gained more and more compositing capabilities. But ultimately, you're primarily concerned with positioning elements in time more than in space. When I'm working in an NLE--PPro or otherwise--I'm working with full-frame video 95%+ of the time, and I'm not moving clips around in a frame. However, I am moving clips around in time--before this one, after that one, etc. Therefore, PPro and all other NLEs are more "horizontally-oriented" if you consider time a horizontal plane as depicted by the time ruler.
So, no--I do not think that moving vertically in a Premiere Pro sequence/Timeline panel is so important that it should be the default action. I understand people want this--I will not argue that--but this either needs to be a) a secondary function, or b) we need to be able to customize scroll wheel actions to accommodate individual users. Either is fine with me, so long as the current behavior is not changed.

How can I get real time updates in multiple views when scrubbing through the timeline?

I am using After Effects CS 5.5 on Windows 7. When I use the mouse to click / drag / scroll through the timeline, one view updates in real time, this is great! If I open a second view, it only updates that view when I finish scrolling.
I would like to be able to scroll back and forth through the timeline, and have two different compositions update in real time (live update)?
Is this possible?
Thank you!

The long answer is: No. It's not even a performance issue, it's how AE evaluates time, since time is fluid and can be mangled in a million ways from time-remapping to expressions...

Smooth Scrolling has stopped in Google search but only Google search, how can I fix, thanks

There are scrolling 2 modes in Google search as far as I know one which I have always used which is smooth scrolling and the other where it jumps to the next site individually. Somehow after an update or something Google search on Firefox has stopped smooth scrolling. I also use safari and google search still smooth scrolls there.
Anyway in advanced smooth scrolling is checked.
If you are able to help please let me know.
Thanks

How can I get back the two button smooth scroll with Logitec optical marble mouse since Adobe Acrobat or FireFox updates on 10/26/2010 made it quit?

Oct 25, 26 or 27 both Adobe Acrobat and Mozilla Firefox alerted me they had updates to install. Since I trust them both I installed them. However, since then my optical marble mouse from Logitech acted strangely different. The cursor did not move as usual. It didn't respond right. I thought it might have needed the dust wiped out, so I did that. It still acted sluggish when I tried to move it, it was as though it was "spinning its wheels" not going anywhere. I went to the Control Panel clicked on Mouse, and proceeded to look at the settings and set them to default. I then tried to use the universal scroll by clicking the two big buttons which showed a circle with cross hair arrows as usual. When the marble was moved forward or backward, the scroll had always been smooth allowing one to read the screen evenly and without holding any button down. Now it was jerky. Is this a problem from the last update? My version of Firefox is 3.6.12
Thank you

I am happy to see another person is having this jerky scroll situation with the latest update to Firefox on October 27. I did check my I.E browser and '''THAT BROWSER''' still does the nice smooth scroll....let's get 'er fixed Mozilla! I know you can!

Scripting the lenght of a page (for smooth scrolling in DPS)

Hi, folks
I am quite a layman in this scripting world but I have a question that I would really need answered. It's not so much a question of 'how' but one of 'is this possible with scripting'?
We want to set up a system where the pages would be automatically created with XML input from a short set of templates so that they end as indesign documents in a given folder.
We have a very clear idea now on how to do that. But now, I have to take a design decission: Should I try using "one-page articles" with pages of variable lengt depending on the size of the body text frame? (so that they make afterwards smooth scrolling in Adobe DPS)?
What refrains me from doing that is that body text will be variable in size and lenght. So... I cannot predetermine which length must have the main frame in the pages and, consequently, I cannot predetermine the lenght of the pages (expressed as top margin + body frame length + bottom margin).
The question for scripting: Is it possible that you may run a script that does this?
- Text is input into the main body text frame via XML import.
- Frame is resized so that it fits with content (no more, no less).
- Page is then resized so that (expressed as top margin + body frame length + bottom margin) it keeps designed proportions.
I hope what I want is clear enough, because that is the doubt that is stopping me from trying the one long page winding way. Any idea, please?
Thanks a lot
Gustavo (Posting from Madrid)

Hi Gustavo,
yes you can accomplish what you are describing with InDesign scripting.
Instead of creating a smooth scrolling page you could even create a frame with scrollable
content on the template an fill the scrollable content with text.
That way you will not have empty spots on the page.
That sounds like an exiting project which combines InDesign, DPS and scripting skills.

Why won't the timeline window scroll?

In every version of Flash I have used (always on a Mac),
including Flash 8, I can't use the scroll wheel or track pad to
scroll up and down (or side to side, now that I have a MacBook pro
;-) in the time line window. Instead I have to stop what I'm doing
and drag the scroll bar with the mouse, or use the scroll arrows.
Over time when I am working on a complex project with lots of
layers this becomes a real hassle. I need to be able to just get
the cursor anywhere over the timeline and scroll...is that too much
to ask?? :mad;

D'oh!
If that is truly the only solution I will have to
live with it for now. It seems like a pretty basic bug to have
gotten this far through so many versions, though...anybody else out
there have the same problem?

Vertical scroll bar disappears on the timeline?

After I use the vertical scroll bar once it disappears and I am unable to scroll. If I click the film strip on and off, it comes back. Is there a way to always keep the scroll bar visable on the timeline?

That has got to be a bug. Go to the Motion menu and Provide Motion Feedback... !
Otherwise, you can scroll with your mouse. I use a mouse with a scroll wheel, but I think I remember the magic mouse has a scroll gesture(?).
You can make the layers smaller by mousing over one of the lines in the layers list to the left of the timeline. The cursor should change to a double-pointed arrow. Click and drag the layers smaller.
You can open the timeline window wider by mousing over the Timeline top border, and click drag to make it larger.
I use this feature so rarely that I had never noticed before. When the scroll bar does appear, it's not "fully formed" either -- just a grey bar -- no resize controls on the ends at all.
