Text animation question

Hi all,
I'm using Flash CS3, actionscript 2 to build a site in which I would like to have a line of text animation to slide off the screen, but I'm looking for something similar to almost a 'sideways explosion'.... it will be synched to the sound of a golf club swing, and I'm look for some way to get that instant explosion, with the letters plowing through each other and away as they fade off the page....
Does anyone know of some sort of example that may prove useful in my search to learn how to accomplish this?
I appreciate your time and effort to help.

well I have been searching a great deal, but haven't found anything similar to what I'm tryi
ng to accomplish... I guess I could describe it as a 'bowling pin' effect, where the letters would collide into each other as they swept
off the page.  I've tried searching for text explosions, text slider effects, etc.. but I keep coming up with nada.
Thanks for the help tho

  • PLEASE HELP!  Text animation question.

    Hi,
    This might be a dumb question, but it's really stumping me.  I want to animate a title using some of the text animation presets, but I can't seem to apply an animation that makes the text appear AND an animation that makes the text disappear.  I can do one or the other, but not both.
    For example, I want my title's text to appear with "FocusIn", and I want it to disappear with "DropOutByCharacter."  How do I do this?!  I've searched everywhere and wasted an entire day trying to figure this out!
    Thanks.

    Along with Steve's tip on doing two Titles (probably the easiest way to handle this), would be to use Keyframed Effects to create your animation. Since Drop Out By Character, is the harder one to do by hand, I'd just add a Blur to the Title, and Keyframe it to start out heavily Blurred (maybe even with a lowered Opacity, also Keyframed) and then Keyframe the Blur out, where you wish to have the Title sharp. Then, add the Drop Out By Character.
    The beauty of Keyframing the various Effects is that you can control many at one time on a single Clip. However, the concept is not the easiest to initially grasp. Once you do, you'll likely use Keyframes in lieu of most packaged animation Effects.
    Steve has a good series of articles on Keyframing on the Muvipix site. Do not recall if they are in the "free" section, or not. Since there is a ton of great material, articles, tutorials and also Assets, like Motion Footage and Menus there, a subscription often pays for itself in one day of downloading.
    Good luck,

  • Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6?

    so I upgrade from CS6 to CC and did not install Bridge CC. Then while in After Effects CC I try to view the text animation presets, but window informs me I do not have Bridge CC installed. I then download and install Bridge CC and view the animation presets, but seem all the same as Bridge CS6 has.
    My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
    Is there another procedure to acquire more? Did I click past something on my first launch of Bridge CC?

    My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
    Best try this in the After Effect forum, to my knowledge not many AE users are here at a regular base. Besides that, every suite version has its dedicated applications to work together in that suite, CC is no exception to that so for best practice use Bridge CC.

  • Full text animation doesn't display

    I made a text animation but when I play the text animation,
    it pauses after lets say 3 seconds. Then if I continue the slide
    the rest of the text shows up.
    EX. The text is "Marine Debris". When I play it only shows
    "Marine" but when I press continue, the rest of the letters come
    up.
    I want it all to come up together.

    Welcome to our community, cleanfil
    You probably don't realize it, but you have answered your own
    question. You did so when you said:
    but when I press continue, the rest of the letters come up.
    I'm guessing Continue is a Button you have inserted on the
    slide? Button and Click Box objects pause the slide and stop it
    dead in its tracks until the user clicks them or another action
    causes play to continue.
    The bottom line is that the slide is being paused too soon.
    You need to change the point at which it pauses. If this is a
    button, look at the properties.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to control text animation duration?

    I found a similar question to this in a forum for a different product, but the only answerer didn't know the answer and merely recommended "experimenting around until you figure it out," which is possibly the most unhelpful answer ever.  Lol.
    My question is: How do I make it so a text animation brings the text in and then allows the text to sit on the screen normally for some time after that?  Currently, when I add a text animation, it insists on extending the entire duration of the clip, from beginning to end.  How do I confine the animation to, say, the first 2 seconds of the text, and then allow the text to sit normally for 8 seconds after that?

    If you are familiar with Keyframing in Flash, then it will be so very easy in PrE. You already have the concept (the hard part), and all you need to get will be details on the mechanics (where buttons are located, etc.) in PrE.
    Steve takes you though all of those mechanics, and introduces you to the Effects Control Panel, which you will use just like the Stage in Flash (if they still call it that). The look is a bit different, as you are working in Video, though you are animating in the same way. You set the Keyframes for whichever Effect you are working in, and PrE will create the Tweens for you.
    I actually like the interface (the Effects Control Panel) in Premiere better, than I did the one in Flash Studio 8 (my last version), but then I came to Flash from a film background. When I started doing Video, it was like meeting up with an old friend, however the concept of Keyframes from Flash proved very, very useful.
    I do not recall the last time that I used any animation Preset, as Keyframes give me so very much more power. The same for creating PiP, whether animated, or not.
    Good luck, and explore, experiment and enjoy!

  • After Effects Text animation into Adobe Premiere

    Forgive me if this question has been asked and answered dozens of times...Perhaps I didn't search for the correct keywords.
    I have a Premiere project and I want to get great 3d text animation into it. I've created a (imo) decent text animation that I would like to get over to my Premiere project. The animation is 3 seconds long.
    1st Choice) Without rendering, is there a quick way to bring it over?
    2nd Choice) If I must render, how can I ensure the background of the composition is transparent and will not overshadow the video I place it over in Premiere.

    1) DynamicLink
    2) Comp backgrounds _are_ transparent. to retain that transparency, choose a format/ CoDec that supports Alpha channels and enable the respective options on the output settings.

  • CP5: Welcome screen with repeating text animation until click

    Would it be possible in a CP5 project to have a first welcome slide that shows an animated text like "Welcome to ..." for about 40 secondes with effect "Typing Text". The animation should restart every minute until a button is clicked? I tried several settings but until now I could not get a working solution.

    Hello again,
    Hope I did understand your question this time. You cannot change the duration of the animation itself, if you do not loop the animation will play once and the text will then remain fixed, as you already know without a doubt. What do you mean by 'animation for 20 sec'? You could time an effect, but not a Text animation, and I understood you inserted this with Typing text as animation.
    The rest I did work out this way:
    inserted the Text animation without looping, and timed it to stay 40sec on the slide
    the last 20 seconds only the objects on the master slide will be visible
    to get back to the start of the slide after having finished it, I attached a simple Advanced action to the Exit of the slide; this action send the playhead back to the first frame of the project, in this case the first frame of the welcome slide. I think it is best not to use any transition.
    put a button on the slide (or a click box if you want it not to be visible) to break the loop, that button sends the playhead to the next slide.

  • My text animations are not working.

    My text animations are not working. I highlight my text, go to animations and it won't even let me
    apply an animation. the apply button is not clickable. How do I fix this?

    tevelp
    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
    It is most likely that you are trying to apply the text animations to more than one line of text.
    You can apply text animation to more than one line of text in the project's Titler but it takes special considerations.
    Please review the how to details in the following.
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/07/pe-titler-part-1-text-animations.html
    Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification on the how to, please do not hesitate to ask.
    We will be watching for your reply and will get your text animation in the project's Titler working for you.

  • Stumped on Text Animation

    I am inserting a large font text animation (100+) and there
    is a shadow of the text that is much smaller. Can anyone advise on
    how to get rid of it

    I found the answer to my own question. the double vision
    issue only shows up when previewing the animation. when you publish
    the issue does not appear.

  • PE7 - Title text animation

    When creating a title, you can choose to apply one of several text animations, e.g. fade, pan and zoom, etc. You simply select the text you want to animate, then choose an animation from the edit panel and click apply. My question is, when you later come back to edit that title, how can you tell which animation is applied? The animation does not seem to highlight. Similarly, the text style does not highlight, although you can tell which font and point and other characteristics are applied to selected text by looking at the text options.
    The "Fade out by line" animation seems to be similar to just clicking the "Fade out" button in the opacity properties of the title (if all there is in the title is text), but no key frames are created, or at least they are not visible anywhere that I can find. There does not seem to be any way to edit the properties of one of these "canned" animations. Is this right, or am I missing something?
    Thanks for any help or further explanation.

    There is no straightforward location in the UI from where you can find out which animated title or which Style has been applied to a title. The Remove button in the animation panel gets highlighted only once we have applied an animation, so a user can find out wether any animation has been applied or not but cannot decipher which animation has been applied to a text.
    I normally apply the nimation and click preview to see the end result, and If I like it, I keep it that way.

  • What is best format for simple text animation in iWeb?

    I want to use a simple text animation "movie" in my site using iWeb.  I don't want the controller visible -- and I want the animation to play automatically.  I went to Inspector and checked for it to start automatically, but no effect.  I still have to manually click on it.  The mov file plays fine, but not automatically. 
    Second question:  is mov the best file format for what I'm tryin to do?  I admit to getting lost with all these formats/codecs.
    Thanks.

    Its not so much the movie format that matters as the way in which you decide to play it on your page.
    Dragging a movie file onto the iWeb page requires that the visitor has the QuickTime plugin - which a lot of people don't. Flash is not the answer anymore due the fact that iOS devices don't support it unless you provide fallback to HTML5.

  • Applying Text Animation

    I am just trying to figure this program out and here is my question. When I add default text to a clip and then select it and attempt to add text animation, the apply button is not highlighted and I am not able to add any animation to the text. Help is appreciated, thanks.

    You will need to select both the text and the animation you want to use in order for the Appy button to be activated.
    (Note that you can only apply text animation to a single line of text.)

  • Text animation not working

    'm having some issues with some text animation. I'm trying to animate certain text boxes of a slide and not others...it all seems to work when I preview it, but when it comes to actually playing the slide, the animation does not appear. I've tried using the Magic Slide (not sure if that's quite the name) but that doesn't give me the animation options I'm looking for. Any ideas?

    Inspector???
    Yes
    Inspector > Animate > Add an Effect > Magic Move (inspector is the side panel on right)
