Using numbered images in particles

I am very new to Motion (just picked up my copy today) but understand the basics. I remember way back when Motion was first released at NAB they had some demos going on and seeing some footage of taking multiple images that have been numbered in sequence and used in a particle system to show up and fly across the screen one at a time. Does anyone know how that is done or if they know where this video is as it is no longer on apple's site. Many thanks in advance!

I've not seen that demo, but it's pretty simple to take an image sequence and make it into an emitter... Just take an clip, select it, and select Make Particles...

How do i use numbers for image gallery and arrows?

Hello there,
I'm hoping someone can advise me on the best possible way.
I would like to use numbers to help the user navigate through the image gallery i'm creating and arrows on either side of an image (one image viewed at any one time). I have attached an image of what i'm trying to acheive. I feel like the arrows will help aid the user to navigate and the numbers will inform them on the number of images to view.
I have so far created the site with a template (logo and nav bar) and child pages for: home/about/work/contact.
Hope to hear from someone soon.
Nicola

With so many pre-built image galleries available to you, there's no reason to re-invent the wheel.

Using markers to automatically add numbered images to the timeline...

I've imported a .mp3 containing markers into After Effects. I then imported in a bunch of sequentially numbered images. My question is, how do I get those images to automatically line up with the markers (i.e. Image1.png to Marker1, Image2.png to Marker2, etc.) so I don't have to line them up manually? My goal is to create a simple slideshow with audio. The number of images could get into the hundreds, so automation would be preferred. Is there a script that does this? Please help.
Thanks,
Jose

I'm not aware of an existing script that does exactly that, but by hacking this script and borrowing some code from a few others this would be perfectly doable.

Why can I no longer use an image for my signature on forms? The only option I have now is "use a certificate". It was never like this until today.

Hi,
I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
i.e without adding an Apple ID
iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
I would try this.
Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the Server)
On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number is ticked for iMessages.
If it is add the Apple ID
On the Mac restart Messages
Add the Apple ID
At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

Unable to use an image in a DVD menu background

I've been unsuccessful in using an image as the background in the DVD main menu in PE 9. The image shows up correctly in the preview, but not in the burned DVD. I'm a long time user of PE 2.0 and never had this issue. I've tried different image sizes (720x486, 720x480, 640x480), different image formats (jpg, bmp, psd), and different menu templates with no success. The only thing that worked was specifying a frame out of the video. Please help so I don't create any more drink coasters!

Barry,
Welcome to the forum.
This appears to be a Bug in PrE 9, and there are several threads on the same issue. It seems that some Menu Sets perform OK, some will not accept a new background image, and some will accept it for either the Main, or the Scene Selection Menu, but not both.
I'll find a few of those, and link to this thread, for your reading. In the meantime, I would suggest filing a Bug Report with Adobe, so that they will know to work on correcting this problem.
Good luck,
Hunt

Backing up and restoring using disk images.

Hi there
I want to create a disk image of a mac's HDD, then put the disk image onto secondary internal HDD, so that in the event of the mac going belly up, I can start from the OSX system disk, format the main drive, restore from the disk image on the 2nd HDD, and off I go.
Using SuperDuper, I created a sparse disk image of the HDD onto the 2nd HDD. SuperDuper created a file called "HDDname.sparseimage". However, when I start Disk Utility and go to restore, it won't allow me to use the created file - the file is visible, just greyed-out.
I used a sparse disk image because I read that normal disk images will be the same size as the original folders/volume and are read only. I only want it the size of the actual data because of space restraints and would prefer to have it read-write too.
Is it a matter of just changing the filename from "HDDname.sparseimage" to "HDDname.dmg", to get DU to access it, or can DU not use sparse images?
Anyone shed any light?

Not sure if this will solve your problem, but I notice that although when I click on the Image button and navigate to a .sparseimage file, it is grayed out, I can drag-and-drop that same .sparseimage file into the Source field and it shows up.
Did you try Images menu > Scan image for restore and selecting your sparse disk image to scan?
Hope this helps...

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!

If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

Java Application [Java Bundler]: how I can use an image? Which path?

Hi,
how I can use an image in my Java Application when I create the jar bundle with Jar Bundler? Which is the path of the file? I don't know if I got it across...

By image, do you mean an icon for your program?
If so, then you need to create the image you want using any graphical drawing program, then use a utility such as Img2icns to put the image into the correct format (.icns). Once you have this, you can drag it into Jar Bundler and IIRC it just works.

When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

TS1702 Right in the middle of using numBers, entering numbers on a spreadsheet. I went to copy then paste to another document and everything froze. I can not open any of my documents. Any ideas?

I have 2 problems. First I was using numbers on my IPad and it froze up on me. I cannot open any of my documents. What do I do to fix this.
My pages wouldn't update and now it is dark and I cannot use it or my Facebook app which is doing the same thing.

- Try a rest. Nothing is lost.
Reset : Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be a restore.

TS1702 I have been using "Numbers" on my ipad 2 for about 2 years. Today it kicked me out a few times and now won't let me in at all! I have tried restarting the application but don't want to uninstall it as 2 years of data on there! Can anyone help?

Can anyone help me get back into my numbers App please?

I have simply been backing up to iTunes using the sync function.
My most recent backup using that method was a bit too old. To get a more recent backup of my data, I decided to do another sync backup before uninstalling Numbers from my system. (I did have the sense to copy the previous iTunes backup to another file folder on my PC before making that last sync - just in case I need it.)
Is there some way to extract Numbers spreadsheets from the iTunes sync backup? I haven't found any way to access these spreadsheet except by using Numbers. Since Numbers isn't working, I seem to be stuck. I did find some software that extracts a variety of data from iTunes backups but it doesn't extract Numbers data.

I am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going of

Hi Jay,
Be aware that "Freeze Header Rows" and "Freeze Header Columns" apply only to rows and columns that are Header rows or Header columns. You can have up to five Header rows, Five Header Columns (and five Footer rows) on a Numbers Table.
"Header rows" is a special designation. Besides being able to be frozen, Header and Footer rows are not included in formulas referencing whole columns, making it possible to place formulas such as =SUM(B) at the top (or bottom) of column B without causing a self-reference error, These designated rows are also not included in sorts of the rows in a table.
Regards,
Barry

Problem in creating 1 image using differnt images

Dear Fellows I want to create an image by using different images in byte array format. Images may be transparent or normal images. I want final result in byte array. I am using the following technique which is working fine but the problem with this technique is that it takes too much time to create an image. This is because I am using MediaTraker. If I delete the code of MediaTracker then program have undeterministic behavior i.e, sometimes it create the final image properly and sometimes nothing is displayed in final image.
I need some help from you. If anyone of you know the technique to draw image using different images without using mediaTracker kindly let me know.
Early replies will be appreciated
// here is the sample code which i m using for creating image
byte[] backgroundImage= // read 800 X 600 image from disk and convert it in to byte array
byte[] image1 = // read 200 X 200 image from disk and convert it in to byte array
byte[] transparentImage // read 300 X 300 transparent image from disk and convert it in to byte array
Image img=null;
Frame frame =new Frame();
frame.addNotify();
//creating BufferedImage object to store Final image
BufferedImage requiredImage= new BufferedImage(800,600,BufferedImage.SCALE_SMOOTH);
//get Graphics of BufferedImage created above
Graphics2D g=(Graphics2D) requiredImage.getGraphics();
///// begin draw back ground image
img=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(backgroundImage);
try
MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(frame);
mt.addImage(img, 0); // adds image with ID 0
mt.waitForID(0);
}catch(Exception myex)
myex.printStackTrace();
//draw background starting from x=0, y=0 with 800 X 600 dimentions
g.drawImage(img,0,0,800,600,null);
////////// end draw background image
////////// begin draw image1

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

What does the error say?
A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.
