Text 'swivel up' effect

I'm using Flash CS6. Can anyone tell me how I can achieve an effect where text seems to "swivel up" and out of view and unseen text swivels up into place replacing it?
The effect to which I'm referring is shown in this YouTube video at the 4 second mark where the word "TERM" rotates up out of view and the words "INTELLIGENT DESIGN" rotates into view.
I played around with the 3D rotational tool in Flash but that didn't seem to get at what this does. I'm not looking for a step by step answer just a tool or effect that might let me figure this out. Thanks very much.

Thanks very much.
I played around with it using your suggestion and it works well.

Feature Request - Editable Illustrator Text in After Effects

Hello,
I would absolutely love it if I could convert text from Illustrator to editable text in After Effects. For most animated videos this is a pretty basic workflow that would help out so much. Right now the only solution appears to be having a "guide layer" of sorts with all your text on it, and then copying and pasting the text from AI to AE and then lining it up with the guide layer. Can be a very tedious process if you are working on a project with a lot of text. Most shots are designed in AI before going into AE which is why the text is already laid out.
Thanks!
Remington

Yes, we know that! But we are dealing with projects which have vast amounts of text and elements composed in Illustrator and increasingly InDesign. Maybe the key would be for Illustrator and Indesign to have a dedicated export function to AfterEffects. Not much to ask considering how many people around the planet use this workflow. I would pay for an AE script if it was available.

Titles are not visible, they show up on timeline as a grey box no text does not effect other events or projects

titles are not visible, they show up on timeline as a grey box no text does not effect other events or projects. could this have something to do with motion

Without seeing the timeline it sounds as if they've been off. Maybe you pressed the V or the role is switched off in the timeline index.

Textured Text with after effects

Hi all,
I just want to know if there's a way that I can generate a textured text in after effects.
Thank.

Hi,
Thanks for the site as I'll check it out.

The question isn't really clear to me, so I'll take a guess and suggest that you look into using a http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7cf6a.htm l as a http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WS3878526689cb91655866c1103906c6dea-7cf9a.htm l, with the underlying (fill) layer being a texture image.
I'll also remind you that doing a simple search using the http://community.adobe.com/help/search.html?q=texture+text&l=aftereffects_product_adobelr is a good way to get answers to questions like this.

Export a 3D title text from after effects to my desktop

I am having trouble exporting my 3D title text from after effects to my desktop to use in premiere pro...sending to render que but won't render for export. Am I missing a step?

It would help if we knew your render settings, your experience level with AE, a little more about your workflow. Even knowing what version of AE and what OS may be helpful. This is probably just user error. Normal workflow would be to add the composition to the render cue, select a folder (the desktop is a lousy place to store assets by the way) and then press render. Without changing anything you'll get lossless DIm (digital intermediate) suitable for use in any NLE but not suitable for playback. If you need transparency then you should select lossless with alpha in the output module from the pull down.
If you want something else then tell us more.
Inside AE, if you see a search help field at the top right corner of the app type in 'rendering,' press enter, then read through the first two articles.

Ringtones, text ringtones, sound effects no longer play.

My 16gb Iphone 3GS will no longer play a ringtone if someone is calling, will no longer play the text-message sound effect and also no-longer make the sound effect if I lock the screen.
The volume is as high as it will go and the ringtone is selected under settings. Vibrate is on. What could be the problem?

It'll actually play the ringtone in with the headphones in, but otherwise, you can not hear it. The phone isn't in headphone mode without the headphones in, the Ipod and ringtone previews sound fine and clear out of the speaker.
It just doesn't play the text or call ringtone any more.

Centering Text in After Effects 6.5

Hi,
How does center text in After Effects 6.5.
Thanks.

Use the alignment options in the Paragraph palette.
Here's the relevant excerpt from After Effects 6.5 Help:
"Aligning and justifying text
You can align text to one edge of a paragraph (left, center, or right for horizontal text; top, center, or bottom for vertical text) and justify text to both edges of a paragraph. Alignment options are available for both point text and paragraph text; justification options are available only for paragraph text.
To specify alignment: In the Paragraph palette, click an alignment option..."

White lines around texts with object effects applied

I am having a persistent problem with InDesign's output of PDFs when I have applied object effects to text boxes.
When I use an effect—such as emboss (shown in samples) or outer glow—on a text box, the PDF renders it with white lines around the text boxes (sometimes with more than one).
See the attached samples; the boxes are clearly visible with a 3rd party PDF viewer, such as Skim; less so with Acrobat Pro, but still there. It's there when I open the PDF in Photoshop, as well.
I've tried playing with transparency flattening settings, and with merging the layers into a single layer. No help.
The sample shown has an emboss effect applied, transparency flattening set to high resolution (ignoring style overrides), and a single merged layer.
Any help?
In Acrobat Pro:
In Photoshop:
In Skim:

Thanks so much, Bob.
My printer requires that I use the PDF/X-1a:2001 standard for PDF export, which means that it must be Acrobat 4 or later compatibility.
Also: I don't see how to NOT flatten, when exporting PDF for print; the options for flattening are "low resolution," "medium resolution," or "high resolution"—but there is not an option to NOT flatten. Do you know a work-around for this?

How do I set text from an effect?

How do I write an effect to set the text on a text layer? The text functions appear to be part of the AEGP suites. I've tried to access these from my effect, in both the 'FrameSetup()' and 'Render()' functions, the text doesn't appear.
Since there are text effects that come with After Effects, it must be possible. I must be overlooking something fundamental.
Thanks,
Bob Bales

Thanks,
I basically copied from the "Trxt Twiddler" sample. My sequence of calls (with appeopriate suite pointers and arguments) is:
AEGP_GetEffectLayer();
AEGP_GetNewLayerStream();
GetNewStreamValue();
AEGP_SetText();
AEGP_DisposeStreamValue();
AEGP_DisposeStream();
If this is correct, I;ll start checking the values of the arguments.
Thanks,

Bringing Photoshop created 3D text into After Effects to work in 3D space?

Hi everyone,
I created 3D text (logo) in photo shop and want to bring it into after effects in order to use it in 3D space. Is it possible? I cant figure out how to bring it in there and still be able to use it in 3D space. it just comes out as a flat image no matter how i bring it in.. ??
Thank you...

As Andrew said, if (CS6){no deal}. for previous versions it should work, but keep in mind that AE will only open files from a matching version of PS, i.e. CS4 files will not work properly in CS5 nor the other way around. This stuff has changed with every version....

Generate text from the effect controls

Is it possible to generate text from a textfield (or something similar) from the effect controls?
I have an Adjustment Layer with a custom effect on it with a Slider, two Color pickers and four Checkboxes.
Can I somehow add a textfield that the user can input text in, and then link this to a text layer in the composition?
The reason I want this, is because the user can add all the information in one effect, instead of having multiple text layers to edit.
I don't think there is a textbox for this, but is there anpther way? Let's say I add an effect that has a dynamic name, that I can link up to the source text of my textlayers in the composition.
Any help would be much appreciated
Eirik

Thank you for fast reply!:)
Ok, then I guess it can't be done, not the way I hoped anyway.
This is the effect I have made. I have linked the properties to other layers.
What I wanted was an input field where the user inputs for example "My Title". The source text of my text field in the composition would then update to "My Title".
I know I could probably do this by code, but then the original point kinda disappears. It should be easy for the user to adjust the settings under one effect, instead of having to adjust it multiple places.
I guess the user have to edit the textfield in the comp by actually going into the layer (doubleclick it/highlight it with the text tool etc.) unless you have a genius workaround? (Please say you do:P)

Make transparent text in after effects without track mattes

Hi, I would like to make some trasparent text where one could see the video underneath the text. I am using several videos that I have positioned and edited already in Premiere Pro CS6, and I would like to import a video file with the transparent text After Effects into Premiere Pro. The reason I want to use AF instead of the title maker in PP is that the text expands 4000% and I cannot make text that large in Premiere Pro. Any advice is appreciated.
thank you,
Robert

I do not want to use a track matte because I have multiple videos underneath the text which are already edited nicely. If there is a workaround without track mattes, I would appreciate any advice on doing that. Thank you.

Effects won't work on Text in After Effects

I must be missing some crucial step because I can't get effects to work on my text. I downloaded After Effects CC. I write text, put a solid, ramped background, add an effect, add a keyframe for the effect and see nothing. I copy what tutorials tell me. Nothing. Should if be difficult to see these effects? I tried CC Light Rays and Light Sweep. Just any effect in general won't apply to a text. I can't see it in FULL rendering or in Half/Rough Draft (which is where I want to work).

See this section of After Effects Help:
"Limitations of the Ray-traced 3D renderer"

How to fix rough edges text in After Effects cs4? Please help.

How to fix this? rough edges in text.
in the first, it's not like this but the next i open after effects cs4, it goes like that.

Hi there mato31,
Hopefully this will help — if that screenshot is your comp window at 50%, then I would hazard a guess that the resolution quality of your comp window was set down to half or quarter quality (this would be my first guess in this instance, worth a try?). If you look across the bottom of the comp window next to the RGB channels icon, the drop-down menu for the comp window resolution is there. Does yours say perhaps Quarter or Third? Just a guess... Usually one would work at Full, but I usually leave it set to Auto so when a comp is viewed at 50%, it automatically changes the quality to 50% which leaves smooth edges (a comp viewed at 50% zoom factor, with full resolution, looks jagged also).
Anyway, just a first thought. Let me know if that helps at all?

Default AS3 Text component bounce effect help

I tried posting this in an Actionscript forum without much
help. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction.
So I need help trying to figure out how to add an AS3 effect
to an AS3 Text component.
var savedNote.Text = new Text();
savedNote.text = "Selected options have been saved!";
savedNote.visible = false;
var submitButton.Button = new Button();
submitButton.label = "Save selected options";
submitButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
onSubmitButtonClickedHandler);
public function
onSubmitButtonClickedHandler(event:Event):void
//here set the visible for the text to true but i want a
bouncing effect
// to be applied to the text component "savedNote" each time
the button is clicked - HOW
savedNote.visible = true;
so each time the user clicks on the button I want the text to
appear the first time and then have a bouncy effect so that the
user know the action to save when button is clicked actually took
place.
HOW do I do this with AS3??? Thank you! if anyone can point
me to online tutorials that would be great!

Pasting your code right into my Flash file works well for me. Are you able to see the text in a black color? Are you able to change everything else except for the color?
