Smoothing out 3D Cube transition

I am using the 3D Cube transition that comes with Final Cut Pro. I am having two issues.
1. If I place the effect at the end or beginning of a clip, it will initially show the cube effect with the clip on the lower track, but when I reopen the project, it reverts to a flip-looking effect. Works fine between two clips
2. I have tranistion length set to 20 seconds--and it looks abrupt, like it is popping into place. Is there a way to smooth it out, so that it appears to gently come to the next clip? With the my previous edit system you could adjust the "tension" of the effect. Do 3rd Party 3D effects give more control?
Thanks.

You need both channels of the ADO to make a proper cube spin.
Sorry, that's an inside joke.
While I'm no cube spin expert, I just looked at the effect and if you double click on it you will notice there are some controls you can modify, such as the spin direction and whether you view the spin from an inside or outside perspective. Make sure you haven't modified these.
As far as smoothing it out, it doesn't look like that's an option.
In regard to opening the project and then having the effect no longer function as it did prior to closing the project, I would suggest you trash your preferences.

3D Cube Transition

Hello guys,
i want to know this for a long time.
How can I make a 3D Cube Transition (like that in Linux or
MAC desktop) to use with MovieClips.
Go see this component
here.
I hope that you can help me making this.
Compliments.

Help me smooth out my lighting.

What Setting do I need to change to smooth out the edges of my lighting in this shot, and get rid of those hard edges?

I presume you're talking about the banding in the transition from dark gray to black. There's only so much you can do, because there are so few values of gray being spread across a much higher number of pixels.
The first thing to do: work in 32 bits. It'll help even if you eventually render out to an 8 or 10-bit codec.

Cube Transition Stutters when playing slideshow on 17" MacBook Pro

Hi,
Hope someone can help me here
I have just purchased a new MacBook Pro 17"
Have installed the Latest updates and everything runs okay
Except, when performing Cube Transitions During a Slideshow, they Stutter when turning, all the other transitions are fine.
It`s as if the Frame rate had dropped to about 6fps
I had a 15" MacBook Pro before this and they were as smooth as silk on that one
I Imported all my Stuff from my old MacBook during setup
is it possible that is were the problem lies!

How to find out which cube/ods has the code

hi,
I want to find out which cube/ods has the start routine/update rules written in it. Is there a table or Tcode to find out the code instead of opening each cube/ods to find out whether there is code in it or not.
Thanks,
Sam

hi Sam,
take a look
/message/3483792#3483792 [original link is broken]
try RSTRAN, field STARTROUTINE
related tables
RSAROUT
RSAABAP
RSAABAPINV
RSAROUTT
Technical name of start routine
Re: How to get info about a GP* program?
Re: Search for start, update rule, etc. that uses infoobject
if couldnt find out, you can use ST05 'sql trace', open 2 session, one for create start routine, and one for ST05, activate with option 'sql trace', then create start routine and 'deactivate trace' and 'display trace', and check out the tables list
hope this helps.

How to smooth out discontinuous spacial distribution gradients

Hi all.
I'm controlling a linear motion device, and need to generate displacement paths for it to obey. What I'd like is to smooth out the 'sharp edges' in my profile data (for example, at points where it may go from a slow forward motion to a faster forward motion). Technically, this is removing the discontinuities in the spacial distribution differential, but in other words all I need to do is "smooth my data".
I've mimicked what I want to achieve by putting some hand-created numbers into this graph -->
The yellow line is my original profile data. You can see that I'll be moving the device from position 45 at time 0 to position 52 at time 5 and finally position 53 at time 9. This is fine, but I'd like to smooth out the motion a bit and avoid that nasty elbow at time=5 a bit.
The blue line is what I'd like. A smooth run from position 46 at time 0 to position 53 at 9 seconds, that preserves the velocities (gradients of the profile line) at the beginning and end. The reason for this is that the motor will arrive at position 46 (time 0) at the velocity inferred by the first gradient, and will continue beyond position 53 after time=9 at the speed inferred by the end gradient. Therefore I must not change the gradients of the line at the beginning and end.
I've tried using the many Signal Filtering techniques LabVIEW has available, but I've found that they create problems:
1. They don't preserve the beginning and end gradients, and
2. They tend not to like the very few sample points I have here. (If I interpolote the yellow line to create intermediate points, the filtering works better, but still suffers from point 1)
I've tried using the B-Spline curve fit, but that seems also not to respect the gradients.
I've tried the cubic spline fit, but that doesn't return the extra points I need to create the blue curve the way I've shown here.
Does anyone have any advice? I thought this would be simple, but I'm a bit stuck now but I suspect that there'll be someone out there that's had to do this too.Naively I expected there to be a simple function called "Smooth Data", but clealy not.
Many thanks in advance for any responses received.

In my copy of Haliday Resnick and Walker there was a note that talked about Einstein and "working in divine issolation" where he was not distracted by others telling what was leagl and what wasn't. I recall that note when I propose idea like the following that some math type will tell me has not physical meaning and dismiss it off-hand. But since I don't limit myself to what is allowed or legal...
See this thread starting a post #5.
Summary:
CC's best attempt at smoothing the curve was shown in this plot.
Using my non-legal technique, I got these results.
I a nutshell:
When yo ufilter you loose data at the front and back-end with the number of points of data loss being determined by the order of the filer. By first pre-pending and appending the same data set reflected about the first and last point, we trick math into telling us what it woudl refuse to tell us otherwise.
maybe this will help you,

How do you smooth out lines in Photoshop CS5

I have some black and white line art drawings. The lines are not smooth and sharp, and instead have tiny jagged edges. I tried using the smudge tool, and that does smooth out the lines but it also makes the lines a little sloppy. That's probably how the Smudge Tool got its name. Is there a way to use this incredible software to create smooth lines? I've learned how to create paths, but I can't figure out how to use the paths to change the line art. Maybe this is what I'm looking for?

If I understand your question correctly then the answer is yes.
You can create an arbitrary path whose shape, open or closed, can remain editable throughout your session and it can be duplicated if needed. That path can then be stroked with a pixel painting or editing tool. Lets say you create a new layer and stroke a path with a colored brush. You can then add a style to that layer, move that same path and add a different stroke on a second layer and then duplicate the path, move it and edit its shape and then do yet another stroke and style on a third layer. This is what I've done in the image below showing the stroke & styled paths as well as the vector path in the bottom path.
Once a path has been stroked to a layer and has had a layer style applied it is only editable as pixels, but the shape remains as a path which can re restroked or moved or reshaped so flexibility is high.

How to smooth out zooming/scrolling image that jerks (CS4)?

Hi guys/girls,
Is there any way that i can smooth out images that zoom in/out with normal classic tween. they are so jittery it looks terrible. I even have a little bit of easing and frames per second set to 30.
any info much appreciated!
Jeff

Hi flashfever,
thanks for responding. can you elaborate on how i can use that? is it AS for the 1st frame or on the movie clip itself? etc
in this case, i have the image fading in and enlarging from 70% to 100% in the same tween. its very jerky.
thanks for your help so far!

HOW TO- Smooth out your animation jittering and tearing

I've found a couple of workarounds that will smooth out your animations. There are JVM arguments that you can pass that allow you to set the scenegraph animation framerate and vsync properties. Increasing the framerate pulse and settig vsync to true can smooth out most of the animation jitters we're experiencing. The downside is that this is going to cost you some CPU time.
-Dcom.sun.scenario.animation.vsync=true -Dcom.sun.scenario.animation.pulse=500I also saw that the JavaFX team has made solving these animation issues a top priority for the next release.

Nah, forget it. This logo needs to be redrawn from scratch.

How do you smooth out a coat?

Having a hell of a time figuring out how to smooth out the arm of this coat. thanks

One technique I like, which fits in with the frequency separation thing JJ talks about is this:
1. Switch to 16 bits/channel and a linear color profile.
2. Mask so just the arm is showing. The Quick Select Tool works well for this.
3. Refine Edge to get it into a new layer
4. Do a Filter - Other - High Pass, choose a radius that shows the wrinkles, but not too large.
5. Image - Adjust - Invert.
6. Change the blending mode to Overlay and watch the tight wrinkles magically get smoothed out.
To take it a bit further...
7. Flatten the above.
8. Mask the arm again, Refine Edge to make it a new layer.
9. Filter - Noise - Median until it is very smooth.
10. Hide the unnaturally smooth looking parts with a dark color in the mask.
Something like this isn't too difficult to achieve... Took me longer to write about it.

Problem smoothing out skin in Photoshop elements 13

I frequently smooth out skin in photoshop.. I do this by Making a new layer, doing a surface blur, then adding a mask (little square with a circle in it up on the top right) then do Command I to invert it.. then use the paintbrush to take the skin to the blurred look.. All of the sudden it isn't working any longer? I'm not sure if I clicked some weird setting that is making it not take the bottom layer off? Anybody have any ideas?

Why does jitter graph smooth out when we add Codec to IP SLA

We use NetQos to monitor jitter, delay and MOS. On a single tunnel, we have three IPSLA measurements, one with the defaults, one with ToS=184, and one with ToS=184 plus Codec=g711alaw. The bona fide data traversing the link is time sensitive, but not VoIP. I understand MOS can only be measured when applying a Codec, but that shouldn't change the jitter and delay statistics, yet it does. The jitter graph on the IPSLA with Codec is much less voilatile than the jitter graph with just ToS. In other words, when the Codec is applied to the IPSLA, the graph smooths out. Anyone have a good explanation? And should I use the MoS as a rough guide, even if I'm not flowing VoIP? jc

I have two scripts that might be some good inspiration. One reads virtual ECMP bundle details from EEM envvars while the other reads a config of ports from a file on flash (the format is listed in the script header).

Smoothing out a low res raster signature

I have a really low res raster image of a signature and I've been trying live trace but it keeps making it look unrealistic. Is there anyway to simply smooth out the jaggedness produced by the low resolution while keeping the shape?

Forget autotracing. Redraw the signature as proper vector paths. An autotracing program has neither human intelligence regarding legibility or readability, nor any sense of human aesthetics. Plus, tracing around a signature is an excellent exercise for someone learning to draw Bezier curves.
Would that be DL650 or DL1000?

After effects automaticly smooths out animation paths between key frames?

when moving somthing how do i disable the feature when AE automaticly smoothes out the path between key frames? the image shows three key frames which i want the text to come down and then to go right with a right angle as a path, not the curved line they have generated!
Thanks for your time

And seriously read up on basics of AE and watch some tutorials...

Audio Cuts Out During Slideshow Transitions

Hi-
In my iDVD6 slideshow I have embedded audio. It cuts out during each transition. Do I have to not use transitions to keep that from happening?
Are there some transitions that don't make the audio cut out, or is it something else entirely? Thanks for any insights!
-Ranger

MacinTouch has a good discussion of this issue here:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/idvd/topic2244.html
Besides making the slide show in iMovie, one poster at MacinTouch said he had always had success with DVD playback if he created the slideshow in Photo to Movie:
http://lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php.
I just had this same problem with my very first iDVD. The problem does not appear to be with iDVD, but rather with DVD players that do not fully support the DVD spec or have large enough playback buffers. I found a little more insight here:
http://www.aidinc.com/features/dvdfaq.asp
I tried the disc I burned from iDVD in 2 different physical players and also in Tiger's DVD Player app. The disc works perfectly played back from computer. It played with just a slight bit of audio stutter on a 5 year old, under $100 Go player but with lots of stutter and even stutter on menu transitions in a 2 year old $250 Samsung DVD recorder.
I want to try burning the project from a disk image in Disk Utility using a slower burn speed but have not yet tried that.
My slideshow is pictures of a recent visit to relatives who are die-hard PC users. Unfortunately, I bragged to them about my Mac and promised to send them DVDs. Hope the discs will playback okay on their machines.
Hope this helps and Merry Christmas!
