Trying to figure out how to spin a shape like a top...

Folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to spin a shape like a top on one axis starting fast and slowing to a stop.
It would be nice if the stop was eased in and not sudden.
I can make the shape spin, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to change the speed of the rotation over time.
I must be trying to control it in the wrong spot because the add keyframe is not enabled.... anyway, I'm obviously not doing it the right way.
Suggestions please!
Thanks in advance.
Tony

Mark,
I was, as usual, over thinking the solution. I thought I had to do something else... which I'm not going to try to describe but it involved linking the rotation of my shape to the orbit of Jupiter...
Your method is much simpler.
It took a while to figure out how to draw the curve to get what I was hoping for but it worked.
Very cool!
Thanks!
Tony

  • Trying to figure out how to put music below like a DJ

    I've been trying to figure this out but can't seem to find anything.
    Here's what I'm trying to do...
    I have a spoken voice track. Below that, I want to add a music track that follows at X decibels below the voice - but when the voice pauses the music automtically jumps up to fill the dead space.
    Is this possible to do/automate in Soundtrack Pro?
    Thanks.

    The process you're referring to is called "ducking." Interestingly enough, it is fairly easy to automate using an old analog compressor/limiter, but I have yet to see a software solution.
    I manually keyframe the Compressor/Limiter settings to duck the music track when needed.

  • I am trying to figure out how I can get my library transferred to the Honda Accord 16gb hard drive?  I have purchased music of off I tunes and do not have the physical CD.  Anybody with any suggestions on how this can be done?

    I am trying to figure out how I can transfer my library to my new 2014 honda accord that has an internal 16gb hard drive.  The manual for the car says that it needs to be original CD's but I have purchased alot of the albums/songs I have from I tunes therefore not having the original CD.  Can someone help me with this as I dont want to load each CD into the player to record and have some albums that I purchased off of I tunes that I would like to be on the hard drive.
    Thanks Any Help is appreciated.

    If Honda says you need the original CDs, you need the original CDs.

  • I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account.

    I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account with my Mac account. The main reason for this is wanting to log into my admin account on the Mac, and have it also log into my network account so I do not have to log into differing accounts depending on wether I am on the network or not. And I am going to be running VMware fusion with windows on top, so having one account would be essential to this.
    Thanks.
    P.S. I am brand new to Apple, not by choice. ;-)

    Basically I want to link a network account to a local account, so that I always log into the same account, even if I do not have network access....

  • I recently set up multiple accounts and when I was trying to figure out how to share files I messed up something in my documents. Everytime I open a doc from the ADMIN account, a box pops up that says "The file is not in the correct format" how to fix?

    I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?

    Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
    If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
    Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive.

    Hi olivias,
    It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

  • TS4223 I accidentally bought the HD version of a movie for my daughter's iPod nano (it can't be watched on the Nano).  So I'm trying to figure out how to re-download the SD version.  do I have to pay for the lower version??

    I accidentally bought the HD version of a movie for my daughter's nano. you can't watch HD on a nano.  So I'm trying to figure out how to re-download the SD version.  This help screen makes it seem like you can just correct the problem and just "download" the lower version.  But when I follow the steps, I basically get to where I'm just having to actually purchase the other version.  Do I have to pay to get the lower quality version after I've already paid for the HD version?

    When you purchase an HD movie or show, in most cases the SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select Movies or TV shows as appropraite. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the movies/shows and be able to download them.
    Note that with digital copies from a Blu-Ray or DVD, if it comes with an HD copy, you normally cannot get the SD copy as well and have to purchase it separately if you want it.
    Regards.

  • Hi - Re Keynote  I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album on USB flash drive. What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, also similar for embedded videos and photos etc.  Is this possible with Keynote ?

    Hi - Re Keynote  I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album (as an artist) on USB flash drive, (accessible by both Mac and PC). What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.  
    Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?

    Hi there,
    Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum. While it seems like an exciting question, we're not able to address issues pertaining to other Adobe products and services. Here's a link to the Adobe Encore forum, where you're more likely to get help for this specific issue:

    I'm trying to figure out how I can see the equation of the line on the graph I just created. I'm using the OS X Mavericks version of  Numbers.

    I think what you're looking for is this. Click chart and in the Series tab under Trendlines you select linear and check Show Equation.
    Unfortunately you can't move the equation from its initial position the way you could with the old Numbers 2.3.

  • I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility.  You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply.  You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
    There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler.  If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish.  However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
    As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
    Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
    Ask again.  I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice.  As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities.  At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
    You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.
