Photoshop CC 2014 3D positioning in video animation timeline

I'm a mac user and experimenting with the 3D and video timeline features. All I am trying to do is make a small custom shaped logo spin in place although it starts to spin around an axis that is off camera. My instructor at school did the exact same process that I've been doing on her computer, and it worked flawlessly which leads me to believe there is a snap, pin, or setting that my computer has turned on/off. I have found the 'Edit Pins' option in the View tab but I have not been able to select it as it is grayed out. Is that where the answer to my problem is? If not then where? The object that i am trying to rotate in this situation will move from the origin point whenever i try to apply a transformation of any kind, such as rotating, scaling, and moving.
There is a similar problem that i have found on this forum, Photoshop CC 2014: 3D Scene Position Missing - Video Animation Timeline is the title of it although it has not been answered. This question was posted about the same time of my problems started as well. After a good amount of hours I haven't found anything close to an answer.

I don't do 3D animations, but Seb Zaremba said it worked in the former Photoshop CC. You can have both version installed on your computer. Go to the Creative Cloud app and Apps>Filter & version>previous versions. There you will find the installer for CC (2013). Give it a try.
Also, you might consider reporting a bug over at feedback.photoshop.com

Photoshop CC 2014: 3D Scene Position Missing - Video Animation Timeline

The 3D Scene Position line in the video animation timeline - missing in 2014.2.1 (CC 2014 up-to-date) ... I have tried all the posted work arounds; using 3D Meshes but the movement from center problem is still present... the answer provided in other posts about this being moved to the Scene group is entirely unhelpful. The 3D Camera post saying it was just renamed is not correct this does not rotate the object. What is the answer or the problem, is there a solution within Photoshop CC?

Video Animation problem

Hello,
I have come across a problem where if I have applied an effect to a video clip such as Gaussain and make an adjust to the timing of the effect under Video Animation option, it wont save that particular adjustment and wont render it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
David

It's the slider on picture below... It will work for some of the effects, however sometimes it doesn't - it wont render, meaning the effect will render, but it wont recognise the slider setting eg. the effect will be fully on. The thing is it's not doing it all the time, only sometimes. It might be the specific effect, or perhaps having multiple effectss etc. Not sure, but I have played around with it a lot and can not figure out what is going on.

Spherical Video / Animation - Need help with a unique problem

Hi, could anyone help me which direction should I go with this issue:
I have a video / animation which is 2 unit long, 1 unit high. I would like to wrap it around a virtual sphere to create a video in which the viewer is able to decide which way to look. The same idea as behind Quick Time Spherical Panorama Photos - but this time it is a moving image. Any Quick Time Panorama Photos have the same 2:1 ration when extended flat, you wrap it around with a panorama software, and then you can "enter" it with quick time.
One or two software already exists which do the job with moving images (360 Spherical Video Viewer 4.02) but either they cannot deal with large files or belong to a company who would not give out their software without buying their whole system with cameras.
I need to solve this, but in such a way that:
1) the extended flat movie animation is large in terms of pixel dimension (around 6000*3000 pixel or 4000*2000) but short in time (4-8minutes) It is necessary to have such a large file because we always see a small part of the whole, and the visible part should be close to HD
2) should be on a loop
3) the mouse pointer is invisible even when we navigate inside the animation
4) full screen
Question: which program(s) will be able to solve (part of) this? Flash? Or a 3d program? Or the combination? Any further advice what to use in the given program? Any idea will be appreciated! Thank you!!

I think you're probably in the wrong forum. The only Apple product I can think of that might be able to help you with this is Quartz Composer. You can wrap video onto a user-controlled sphere pretty easily (and much more besides). You may face performance issues with such a large video, however, and you'll need to experiment with codecs to balance data rate with decoding speed.
Quartz Composer is free and is part of the Developer Tools, freely downloadable from Apple and possibly on your system installation discs in the Options folder.

Flickering Grey / White lines across browser when video/animation is being played

Hi,
For a while now i've been getting these flickering grey/white lines across my browser, usually only noticeable when a flash animation, video or embedded advert is being played on the page. I only ever seemed to notice it happening when using Google Chrome, and a few tips suggested disabling one of the Adobe flash plugins on chrome. This seemed to fix the issue, until recently it came back again.
I decided to try and reinstall Chrome, which is when i noticed the issue happening in Safari too, which made me believe that it wasn't a browser problem but my Mac itself.
The lines seem to appear quite intermittently and only when a video or animation is being played.
Another thing i should mention is that i've not yet noticed this happening when watching video directly from my hard drive, it only ever seems to happen when i'm streaming online e.g. youtube, netflix etc But with the likes of netflix, it stops happening when i'm in full screen?
I'm currently using a Macbook Pro Mid 2010, OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. I also had the Logic Board replaced under a year ago due to other issues.
I also use dual monitors, My macbook pro and a Dell 27" IPS monitor. The flickering lines appear on both monitors, so it shouldn't be a display issue.
Below is a link to a video of the issue i'm having whilst i was visiting youtube:
http://youtu.be/En9zFT1HQ6I
Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Marie

I have also been having this problem. I recently bought a new iMac to relieve this aging computer, and kept this guy as a backup. I wiped the computer and installed Mavericks, and this problem keeps coming up. I have almost nothing on this computer... which is why I have no idea why it's having issues. The extended hardware test also shows nothing. Also tried resetting PRAM/SMC, which seems to make it go away for a little while.
Before I reset and upgraded to Mavericks, I was having another weird graphics issue where things would fragment and freeze either momentarily or permanently until I restarted. This mostly happened while I was using Skype. I brought it into the Apple Store several times but they apparently could never re-create the problem... I have a feeling these are related. I'm afraid the graphics card is failing and of course the warranty has run out.

Video/animation "blinks" at beginning and end when viewed on iPad

Hi,
I have a Captivate 6 file that I published and uploaded to a website. Within this file is one slide with a recorded animation (tapping letters on an iPad keyboard). When I published this course to HTML5 and SWF and double-click the index.html file in IE9 on my computer, the video runs fine. However, when I access this same file using Safari on an iPad, there is a "blink" at the beginning of this animation and at the end. I see the video for a second, then a blank screen, then the video starts. Same at the end.
Does anyone know how I can remove that "blinking" or why it is happening?
Thank you,
Michele

Without knowing your exact version of PPro and system specs, I encountered this issue on the way back machine during version 1.5. The fix was to render out the timeline to an uncompressed wav, put that onto it's own track, mute the other tracks and then render out the final video.
You could also try closing PPro and importing the sequence into AME and render it that way.
If using non-native media (the audio is conformed), you might want to close PPro, delete the cache/conform files, reopen the project and have it re-conform.

What video / animation software do I need for making a photos mouth move?

I would like to create a video of my son singing to an music track. I want to use a digital photo of him that I have and I want to make his mouth move in the photo as if he is singing the song. I would like it to look as real as possible. I am having trouble finding the right software to use. Does anyone have a suggestion? Will Apple Final Cut do this? Motion?

You can try to use anime studio for mac ($49.99), and it will use your sons image as a 2D.
But the quality will be more like a south park style and might not looks real.
I use Toon Boom Studio ($399), there was Toon Boom Express version ($49.99) last year, but now the developer stop developing that version.
for real result, maybe you should consider 3d animation or flash animation software instead of 2d software.
Good Luck.
Mike

Photoshop CS6 Performance in Video-Animation mode?

I've just started playing with the Motion workspace in Photoshop CS6 with the goal of doing some HDTV slideshows of still images with "Ken Burns" zooms & pans & maybe other animation. I bought a training video from Infinite Skills that seems pretty good, but when I load their example files into CS6 and try to scrub around on the timeline, it takes forever to do anything other than scrubbing to the right (and that is slow). CS6 plays through their example videos well enough for non-rendered video, and I can scrub slowly to the right with the image keeping up fairly well, but when I try to scrub left, jump to the right, or click the icon to move the scrub button to the start of the video, it takes 5 seconds to 10 seconds for anything to happen. I'm running CS6 64 bit in Windows 7. My processor is an i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz, 8 GB ram, system drive is a Kingston SSD. Windows' Performance Information gives a score of 7.0 of a possible 7.9. A Passmark PerformanceTest 8.0 run gives me numbers typical of my Asus PS6 motherboard and i7 processor.
I know PS wasn't built from scratch for this kind of work, but is a 5-10 second lag to be expected every time I scrub on the timeline?

There is a site named Black Viper. The guy there knew how to configure an XP computer for different purposes, and then set it back easily for everyday use. I believe that he has updated to incorporate Vista and Win7. But, the whole purpose of the story is - knowing what system resources you need for rendering video - and what resources you can temporarily suspend, and then easily restart. Many, many resources can be suspended in Win7, which frees up resources for the important and resource-hungry activity that is video rendering. If you can get on over to Black Viper, it is a very useful starting point, because he designates the normal state of your computer - so that you can put it back there again. However, as a general rule, if your computer does not need to be active on a network, a lot of the networking services can be suspended. AV and anti-spyware - once disconnected from the network - can also be shut off (but do this only after you have done a comprehensive AV and spywware sweep). Software updaters can be turned off. In fact, if you know your way to the Services section of Windows (I cannot say what the equivalent for a Mac may be...) using trial and error, switch out services - say three at a time - and then see what effect. Obviously, put them back in if it turns out they are vital to the video-processing. But yes, nothing beats extremely fast hard drives, and even an overclocked chip can help, with more like a gamers GPU to boot. This, as you will understand,is more a dedicated video editing setup, and CS6/CC are meant for a more casual approach. If you own a Honda Civic, so to speak, it will not drive like a Porsche!
If you have a modicum of computer savvy, go to www.blackviper.com and scroll down to your OS - make a copy of the table of modifications (or print) and then proceed to lock-down resource-hogging services. They can have a significant effect on processing speed.

Video-animated elements wirhin SWF file

Hi there...
I have seen some SWF banners which contain not only
flash-made animations but also "inserted" videos elements: like
this website for example: some times ther used to appear a person
saying "welcome, yes, I am going to show you this new Macromedia
product..." or "we are the Macromedia team" or whatever...
Wel I need to create some animation like that because my
customer asked me for a "virtual host person" explaining some
things... Well I already have the video of him... but now.. what ??
How do I crop the person ? how do I insert him inside my
predseigned Flash banner ?
Thanks a lot in advance,

Is the person on a green screen, and have you already made
that transparent with After Effects or other software? Then you
have to import your video into Flash 8 and have it converted to
FLV. It may need to be embedded but you could lose audio sync, or
you have to progressively stream it and use cue points to trigger
events.
All of this greek to you? If so you better visit
www.gotoandlearn.com and watch the tutorials on video
basics.

Photoshop CS6 Extended Timeline Video Animation - How to make rotation animation

Hi All
In the timeline panel in CS6 EXTENDED, you have a video feature, where you can animate three things:
Position
Style
Opacity
What I would like to know, is: How can I animate rotation of a layer? I want to rotate my layer at an angle and animate it. But when I rotate, the first animation frame is also rotated, resulting in NO animation between the frames.
Thank you

You can also create a COUNTERCLOCKWISE rotation animation using the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Timeline:
1. Make your first rotation keyframe by rotating your smart object layer -1 degrees.
2. Make your second rotation keyframe by clicking near the middle of the timeline and rotating your Smart Object layer -179.9 degrees.
3. Click near the end of your timeline, and make your third rotation keyframe by rotating your Smart Object Layer 1 degree.
Create CLOCKWISE rotation, as described in JJMack's post:
1. Make your first rotation keyframe--no need to rotate because we want the rotation Value to be Zero.
2. Make your second rotation keyframe by clicking near the middle of the timeline and rotating your Smart Object layer 180 degrees
3. Click near the end of your timeline, and make your third rotation keyframe by rotating your Smart Object Layer 180 degrees.
Thanks JJMack, your input and animation helped me immensely.

Key frames switch to SMOOTH when they started as linear for multi key frame video animation ?

When i create a series of animated moves on a freeze frame or pic...the second key frame which begins a "hold" ...always changes to smooth from linear after I add a few additional key frames and moves.. I use the key frame button on top left of viewer to add the key frames...I have tried adding the key frames in the inspector but smae results..2nd key frame changes to smooth after I add 4 additonal key frames and moves. why?

thanks for the reply Steve. I will battle through with this project and show the end result, but you may celebrate a birthday or six before I finish.But I will finish. It is part of a project I am creating from a recent stay on the Abrolhos Islands off the coast of Geraldton Western Australia. It is isolated like few places in the world, pristine and protected. We have friends who are proffessional fisherman and are allowed to stay there on shacks during the limited fishing/rock lobster fishing season.I have some really great photos and video to make use of.

Video and animation Skips 10% of video/animation duration button

Hello,
Is it possible to create a button to skip 10% of video and animation duration? I can easily make it work on just the video but I need the animation scroll bar to follow on where I skip. Below is the playback animation I did:
The play button and the blue with orange bar syncs nicely but I can't sync the skip buttons to work with the video and the bar animation. Basically it's a video player that can do a frame-by-frame for the animation video above to show frame-by-frame when you start drawing. I'd like to have the bar follow the skip buttons on where the video timeline is.
I'm no code expert but knows how to use Edge Animate, the basic functions.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
I ve tried to re-create a project with the issue... but it is working all right.
The timeline animation is not stopping my video....
If I reproduce the issue I came back to the forum.
thank you

How to stop video/animation when the back/continue button is pressed

hi! we are currently playing some of our videos via SWF. the swfs are placed on the slides and automatically play. Next and back buttons were added for navigation. One thing though is that when the next and back buttons are pressed to go to the next slide(even when the video in the swf is not yet finished) the swf still plays in the background. how do you set the triggers for this? thanks!
by the way, we used flvplayback component in flash as3. so flash publishes both the flvplayback skin swf and the main swf of the FLA file. Then on Captivate's side, after zipping, we included the swf files there

Yup, in the swf animation I placed some lines of code to make the slide pause but in my case since I'm playing a video on my swf pausing the slide doesn't pause the video.
myRoot = MovieClip(root);
mainmov = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
mainmov.rdcmndPause = 1;
The code above will pause the slide. You can try if it works for you.
