Text animating and zoom animating

Hey im a beginner at animating and i need advise on how to
animate text. Like when the viewer is watching my movie I don't
want a whole paragraph to come out of no where I want it like word
by word or letter by letter like someone was typing it right then
and there. I tried figuring out a way but the only thing was adding
a key frame for each individual letter. any tips? and also any
advise on how to make the text come in with flare? like fading in
or coming in from the top?
Also another thing. Let's say I make a city from far away on
the stage. I want to zoom in on a person (a stick figure) for a
couple seconds and then zoom back out to it's original position. Is
there a way I can do this without having to disassemble the city
and make the person zoomed in and then make it look zoomed out
construct the city from scratch again?
I would like any help please.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To make the paragraph appear to move letter my letter, you
can create a mask on the paraggraph layer to apprea each letter.
You can do this by making the mask shape allow you to view line by
line.
And regarding the flare:
1- Convert your object to movieclip symbol
2- Create a moton tweening, and in the first frame add blur
filter (in the filters panel).
3- Make the alpha of the first frame 0
And for the 3rd effect, when zooming you can convert the city
to symbol and zoom this symbol in an out
Hope this helps

  • What Flash Add on software is the best to create amazing text effects and picture animation?

    I'm new to web design but fairly good with Adobe products. I currently have Flash CS4/CS5  but I'm looking for some addon or third party software that I can use to create some great text effects in Flash along with some cool picture effects (spinning around, moving in, pausing, them moving off the screen).
    Any ideas on which suites would be the best?
    Thanks

  • Adobe Reader preferences issue, text stretched and zoomed in.

    I have a user with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 installed and cannot change his preferences and always receives a "Screen reader" prompt when opening a PDF.  The window is stretched accross the screen and the only way to close it is Tab - Enter.  The preferences are the same way, theres no way to check the settings because the window is too zoomed in and the text is too large. I have already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, deleted all the folders and reg keys to do a clean install as well as under multiple profiles. Same issue each time.  Has anyone else seen this issue?
    Any advice would be great.

    I believe I have seen this where an essential Windows font is removed.

  • Flash CS5.5 unable to import sounds and massive animation lag

    So, having reached a point where I want to add sound to my animation (which is extremely laggy for no particular reason), I find myself completely unable to import sounds of any form into Flash. "Oh, crap" I say to myself, and come onto the forums looking for a solution. Apparently importing the sound into a sound editor (ie audition) and then resaving it works, except it hasn't in my case and I'm still stuck with this stupid "Couldn't import [filename]" error.
    (and my animation is extremely laggy for some reason in case you hadn't realised from the hints above. Does this have something to do with the fact that I am using blurs in the animation and then animating them with tweens, or is flash cs5.5 (and 5) just not good at rendering blurs efficiently?)

    In Flash, all of the animation is done at runtime, not during authoring. This means that a blur, for instance, is done when the user is looking at the movie. This is completely different from the way that video is played on a computer. All of the animation workload is on the user's processor.
    If you have a normal bitmap image that you are blurring with a blur filter and then animating that bitmap on the timeline in a tween, then you are giving the processor a lot of work to do. If you import a blurred bitmap and animate that, the processor has much less work to do.
    That may or may not describe the problem that you are seeing.
    I have no idea what the problem is with the sound files. Can you post one of the sound files so that someone could take a look at it?

  • Need help with flash animation and jump to slide

    I have been researching for days on how to build a menu in
    flash 8 that has links to jump to a slide later in the captivate
    lesson.
    The goal:
    I want to have a tab - when clicked on - opens up and shows a
    table of contents. Click on an item and it will jump to that slide.
    Method:
    I used flash 8 to build a tab and pop up menu. Works great.
    But how do I make the buttons or links to jump to slide?
    Is it possible to:
    * - use a roll over image in captivate - pause image and
    click on a button to pop over to the slide - no flash menus...just
    action script to pause and allow clicking.
    * - use a FS Command script from inside the captivate movie
    - java call in button proprieties.
    * - write the menu in flash - use action script to say "on
    release - jump to slide" or "on release - jump to frame" - I have a
    frame counter that I can find the frame number of the slide - but
    how would you get the script to work.
    Please Help -
    Flash not a good friend of mine - so any time I can avoid --
    is great...but it is what it is - i do anything to get it to work.
    Thank you in advance for your help and I really look forward
    to your thoughts.

    Hi
    I didn't understand a few things here.
    1. Are you trying these things using Adobe Presenter or this is just plain Powerpoint you are talking about?
    2. Are you trying to view the output on the Slide show or presenter output
    If you are doing it for PowerPoint slide show, try setting the animations using with previous and after previous
    1. first insert the video. Set it to play automatically
    2. Insert the first text box. Apply animation on it saying "with Previous". This will make the animation play as soon as the video starts. If you want some delay apply some delay for the animation in the animation pane, such that the animation appears when the video has content sound
    3. For the remaining text boxes apply animations as "after Previous". This will make the animations play after the previous animation has completed.
    4. Now all you have to do is applay delay to the animations to adjust them as and how you want
    Hope this is what you wanted to achieve
    Thanks

  • Can the zooming animation be switched off?

    The zooming animations when opening and closing apps gives me Vertigo (dizzyness and nausea) which is a symptom of my Menieres Disease.  Is there anyway to switch it off?  I've set the reduced motion option but it's not sufficient to stop the nausea.  I've got a month to go on my contract, I had been planning on getting the 5S but I may have to change that if there isn't a solution. 

    I've installed that and it certainly helps.  I think it's to little to late though.  After a month of having to look away from my phone every time I returned to the home screen or open an application, I've kind of fell out of love with iOS.  I've looked around and I think I'm ready to jump ship and try an Android device for a while.  This weekend is the earliest I can upgrade so I'll decide on Friday/Saturday.  I'm certainly not going to sign up to a new contract on an 5S at the moment.

  • FlashLite 2.x - Embed Video and sync animation with it!

    Hello All,
    I have been using Flash since many years and recently started FlashLite development. In Flash we can embed a video on timeline and similarly we could sync our onscreen animations and text with video on timeline. Can somebody please confirm to me if same is possible with FlashLite 2.1 ?
    As ever,
    Vinayak Kadam

    Ok guys....an update to this thread....
    I learned a few basics about embedding video in FlashLite from this link and was able to run a video in FlashLite 2.x - AS2 in device central. But I am not sure how do I sync my text and animations with the video as we would do in Flash. In FlashLite, video is not placed over the timeline, instead we have to use the Video class which has its own component with few methods to stop, pause, play etc.
    Need your help please!
    As ever,

  • Transition animation on zoom

    Hi,
    Is there a way to turn off transition animation on zoom in lightroom? When I click on an image with the magnifying glass I would like the image just to get bigger suddenly in one jump rather than smoothly increasing in size. The smooth increase in size is called transition animation. If this cannot currently be turned off, would it be possible for it to be added to the list of feature requests? I am a programmer and it is very easy to add this feature.
    I am currently using the trial version and would like to buy the software. However, I will not buy if I cannot turn this transition animation off, as the smooth zooming causes motion sickness for me. I would be happy to do the coding as a volunteer if I can have programmer access to the code.
    Thanks,
    Jen

    (To clarify, I mean slow-motion only while recording;  no effect upon the project's normal speed of playback.)

  • Is there any way to turn off the "zooming" animation In IOS 7?

    The continual zooming / animation that occurs every time I move in and out of an app, is incredibly tiresome after a while - especially when using multiple apps for business.  Is there anyway to turn this off?

    No there is now way to turn off the screen animations, with the exception of the paralax effect (The moving background) which is what the Reduce Motion option is for.
    If you really hate the effects, you need to submit your feedback via Apple's feedback page, http://www.apple.com/feedback  
    They don't really monitor these forums for this type of feedback.  There are a lot of threads that address this problem and some people have even reported becoming motion sick because of the zooming in and out effects. 

  • Animations and States vs. frames?

    It has been a while since I used Fireworks (CS6)  to create a banner animation, but since Flash is dead and Animate is buggy as all get out and html 5 doesn't scale well for phones,  I'm trying to do one in FW.
    Now, I've created symbol animations that work, but when I try to create another tween or animation and I add it to the last state, instead of starting at that state and going forward, it copies the new symbol to all previous states.  So for example, I can't get a text symbol to scroll in, pause for 2 seconds and then either move in a new direction and fade out nor place a new text symbol on the next state to create a new tween.. 
    When I try to insert a new symbol on the new state,  it won't tween or animate to make the new direction. Like I said, it is visible in all previous states and appears almost as an onion skin (I have onion turned off).
    Also, when I create a tween and try to distribute, there is no option to distribute to states, only to frames, but there is no longer even an option in the panel to view frames.  Appears to be a legacy nominclature issue?
    Is it only possible to create a single timeline of states that forces this overlap, or am I doing something wrong?
    Can't find a tutorial on adding new symbols to existing states...

  • Alt hover text for a Flash animation?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add alt text to a Flash animation so that
    when a user
    hovers over the animation, text appears in the same way it
    does for images?
    Thanks.
    Nath.

    Thanks Fel_911,
    I'm very new to Flash. Is there an easy tutorial on creating
    the dynamic
    text that follows the mouse?
    I already have a Flash animation created which is simply a
    series of 3 fade
    in/fade out images. Do I just add in a background layer,
    under my 3
    fade-in/fade-out images and create a mouse-over effect for
    that background?
    How does the text display? Should the text be part of the
    animation,
    perhaps as a symbol that appears on mouse-over?
    Thanks again for your advice,
    Regards
    Nath.

  • Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

    Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

    No, only regular static GIF images are supported. The desktop version of Photoshop does support this however.

  • Why are animated GIFs in Firefox 11 slow? I downgraded to Firefox 10 and the animated GIFs suddenly play fine again, so I am positive that the update messed up the playback delay of animated GIFs somewhere.

    Self-explanatory. I am positive that the GIF I am viewing is faster than what it's supposed to be. I viewed the same animated GIF in another browser and it plays fine. It just plays slower in Firefox 11. I downgraded to Firefox 10 and the animated GIFs were fine again. I upgraded back to 11 and yet again the animated GIFs slowed down. This happens for all of my animated GIFs.
    I like viewing my animated GIFs, and since I don't have any problems yet with Firefox 10, I'll be sticking with it for a while...

    Yes I have exactly the same problem, and it has NOT been solved yet in Firefox 14. Please Mozilla, what is the use releasing more and more "major upgrades", Firefox 11, then 12, then 13, then 14 (one per month !) if you don't even care to fix the big problems ? That is just marketing crap, nothing more. You guys used to do amazing job, but the new policy is just unbearable, no offense meant : you need to react !

  • Is there a way to force applications to use window opening (and closing) animations?

    I'm not a big fan of the fact that most of the time, when windows open, they don't display any sort of animation, and pretty much nothing has a closing animation.
    Is there any way to force all apps to use some sort of animations, and also, is there a way to enable window closing animations?
    It just kind of bothers me, probably because of that fact that I just abandoned Windows 8 for OS X.

    Hack using spell checker's smart quote feature:
    If the document doesn't use double quotes...
    Edit > Find/Change:
    Change all ( to "
    Change all ) to "
    Those are straight quotes.
    Edit > Spell Check:
    On all instances with "string", click [Correct]
    On all instances with "string, type in (string) and click [Correct].
    Edit > Find/Change:

    Yes, you have to hit each instance, but it will be click-to-continue except on mismatch.

  • Laggy scrolling/animations and tricky touchpad on MacBook Pro w/Retina Display

    As much as I loved the form factor and screen on the 15" 2.6ghz MBP w/Retina Display, the laggy scrolling, animations and intermimitently non-functional tap-to-click made me return it to Best Buy. A $3000 computer (after tax) shouldn't have problems that my Early 2011 MBP doesn't have. I thought the 10.8.2 update might fix this, but unfortunately it has not, even after a clean wipe.
    Side note - 10.8.2 also made my 2011 MBP's battery literally drop by 1% a minute when on battery power. It's also ridiculously hotter. Unusable as a portable device.
    Another side note - Best Buy really dillutes/degrades Apples great brand. The Apple Specialist in my local Best Buy in Dublin, CA is quite cranky and condescending. That will be the last time I buy an Apple product from Best Buy.
