Added cursor for text animation.

I would like to put a cursor in a text animation and I join the cursor to be a square as opposed to the standard line. How can I do this?

Rhys Enniks provides a video tutorial on his website in which he uses expressions and multiple text animators and selectors of beach to animate text as if it is typed on a computer screen, with a blocky blinking cursor.

This example is given using After Effects, here, incidentally.

  • Text animation is not available for Mac on CP8?

    Hello

    Have had no luck importing animation using the Insert > Animation option. Even if they are .swf files in the Gallery, they cannot be imported.

    In addition, as you can see form screenshot below, the text animation option is shaded on? No go for a Mac? Thank you.

    As Anthony, responsive projects are out of HTML5, which means that you cannot use a SWF inside. Everything is grayed out for reactive projects is not available for them: all the objects that are indicated by the tracker, Ray, free polygon and custom shape, D & D HTML form. This has nothing to do with being on Mac/Win, why Mac users feel more often discriminated I don't quite understand. Take a look at the help documentation, where you can find everything that is not supported (yet) for projects of a reactive nature. If you want an animation, you can use an effect (those who are supported, they are listed in the effects Panel) or create an animation HMTL/Edge and insert.

  • Text animation hits with noise and a bit of chance

    Hi, I used this nice tutorial to animate text typed, but it does not show how the randomness of sond and schedule is defined as here , and I like the way the rendering of the letters is a bit delayed and slider also! Anyone know how it is setup? I've not found anything matching properties.

    Kind regards

    Try to use the predefined animation of text processing. You'll find it under preset animations > text > MultiLIne.

    Just add an extra character at the end of your text. It doesn't matter what it is. Then press UU to reveal all the animators. Go the last keyframe to Type on and adjust the cursor Type to a value that is less than the total number of characters in your text string. You can watch it happen.

    That's all. Just make sure that you use a font that has underscore. You can set the symbol that you use for the slider to set the value of character in text animations. is 127 the | and 95 is the _____

    This is a very common effect and many ways to do this are found by simply doing a search on Google for the cursor blinking on After Effects.

  • How to design own graphic interface for text entry

    Hello world

    I use the black background in my application and I would like to create my own custom controls which looks nice on a black background.

    For text input, I managed to create an entry of text with white background and black fonts. But I couldn't make the field to be a little larger than the text nor I was able to focus the State field.

    Code:

    public class CSTextField extends BasicEditField {}

    public {CSTextField()}

    Super (Field.FOCUSABLE |) Field.EDITABLE);

    }

    protected void paint (Graphics g) {}

    g.setBackgroundColor (Color.WHITE);

    g.setColor (Color.WHITE);

    g.fillRoundRect (0, 0, super. getWidth(), super. getHeight(), 5, 5);

    g.setColor (Color.GRAY);

    g.drawRoundRect (0, 0, super. getWidth(), super. getHeight(), 5, 5);

    g.setColor (Color.BLACK);

    Super.paint (g);

    }

    }

    See here: http://liechti-fotografie.ch/share/textfield.png

    Do you have an idea how realize that the focus is visible and the text field seems good?

    Thank you

    Do not design your own text input field - build a Manager around it that meets your needs.

    Here's an example of how this can be done:

    A scrolling line text entry field

    Read the comments - there are a few examples here on adding borders. I don't think you need boundaries, but they can give you ideas on how to position the fields in order to create some padding between the text and the surrounding black background.  You seem to be advanced enough to be able to easily change the code corresponding to your needs.

    Good luck!

  • a very simple text Animation is not smooth

    I have a simple animation that the paragraph of text scaled vertically on one. Background PNG in 2 seconds. When I preview the scaling and animation look unstable. different lines seem to move slightly out of the other. It is almost identical to the problems of anti-aliasing. all lines are in a container and when I convert the text to vector or bitmap the same animation is very well. My question is is this some sort of bug and the limitation in the flash or am I in a bad way?

    The sweetness of the movement of sub pixel depends on the quality of the scene that you have defined. If the quality is not configured by default on 'medium', which could make her look less than perfect.

    Also, with textfields you must set the font to be best for the Animation.

    To set the quality of the floor, put this line in the frame 1 Actions panel:

    internship. Quality = "best";

  • Gray text animation button

    Hello

    I am looking for help please, as a new to Captivate user!

    I am trying to apply text animation and the box in my menu drop-down is dimmed.  I can see 'text caption' and 'text area', but not 'text animation.  I also see the files in the gallery where the Captivate is downloaded.

    Text animations are focused on the SWF, not supported for HTML pages. In a reactive

  • Commenting on - something very wrong with shortcuts for text correction.

    In Acrobat DC on the toolbar of comment, I chose 'enable shortcuts for text correction '. This allows you to

    Place the cursor in the text and simply type the missing letters/words (which shows in a comment box)

    Select text and press the 'delete' to put a red line through it

    Select text and begin typing the new text to replace (which shows in a comment box)

    It works similar to how Acrobat 6 CS worked, if I remember, although the selection tools SC 6 was much more robust.

    However, it doesn't "stick." Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it works and then stops working. Right now I have the option "Activate" highlighted, have a word selected, press "delete" and nothing happens.

    Another behavior is that if I'm inserting text, the first letter I type is highlighted in the comment box and is replaced by the second letter I type.

    It's maddening. So I just had about 125 corrections to a pamphlet of entry and every time I had to use the mouse to choose the tool to do what I had to do, rather than from the keyboard.

    This can only happen for everyone, then, how do I know why it's happening to me? On OS 10.11.1.

  • Text animation

    Hello guys.

    So there is this idea of mine, where I would like to create the following text animation:

    White text, then something like a knife cut on this text (in the middle of the text, but the line is not horizontal right, rather a bit diagonal) as well as the cutting line, the red color appears (imitation of blood), then this line of cut red color begins to slow down (and only the letters cover letters (, no backing at this stage), after the 'blood' starts any kind of letters.

    I already know how to do the easy part, which is the last
    I used to liquefy, and the result is great.

    How to get all the effects before that?

    Is this possible in After Effects?

    I use AE CC and Win7.

    You start thinking in childbirth, learn more about the masking, follow masks mattes and don't be afraid to duplicate layers. Here is one approach.

    1. Create your text layer
    2. Add a mask for the text layer to give you the path of the knife
    3. Set a keyframe for the mask path and copy
    4. Add an image of a knife to the timeline
    5. Set a key position for the knife and stick.
    6. The knife now follows the same path you drew with the open mask
    7. Return the text layer and reproduce twice
    8. Change the mask on the first page of the text layer and close if you only see the top half of the text layer
    9. Add a solid white to the model and place it on the bottom layer
    10. The value of the basic copy of the text layer as a track matte for the blood spatter
    11. Animate the position of blood spatter layer so that it corresponds to the cutting knife
    12. Add another layer down to create the animation of blood dripping

    When you are finished, you might want to add the bevel Alpha to give blood some brightness and surface tension. It depends on your design.

    Here's what's happening. The first folio of half of your text layer mask layer of blood. The second copy of the text provides a matte for the layer of blood. The copy of the text layer base gives your text the same color as the first sheet so that the layer of animated blood covers it.

    This is only one of the two ways of tens to the effect. Launch text animations to make the bottom half of the separate letters because they are cut off would be a nice addition.

  • HTML5, text animation, swf object does not.  Know when it's available? (updated)

    I thought that captivate 7 includes many options for HTML5, most of the animation does not. text animation, swf. I'm really disappointed.

    Are you French? I tried to explain that Flash, SWF is not supported for HTML5 because he will be banned from all devices (except PC desktop and laptop). Text animations are also SWF. Sorry, but your question already proved that you are not only a beginner in Captivate, but in the world of SWF-HTML5.

  • problem with built-in predefined text animations

    Hello

    I just started my first job with AE.
    I want to do a very simple thing: animate text (to be precise, only 3 short words) with one of the excellent effect built in, which was delivered with the product.

    But I realized, that the end result of the effect, that I chose in the list, is different from that how I saw on the site Adobe Gallery.
    Then I tried other effects too (Flash, Flash blue) and with the AE is not the same, I'd say it's on another comprehensive plan.
    For example, text Pulse exposure effect appears to be a very complex thing on the site, while at AE makes only fade in and out of my text: no outline around the letters. characters also do not in growth and shrinkage, so it lacks almost all the fancy functions, that how the effect shows on the Web site.

    Can you please help me where is the problem? Thank you.

    I just tried exposure pulse, and it works very well for me.

    It is possible that the problem you see is related to this tip/warning of "text animation presets", the page I linked to before:

    "If the animation preset requires a color contour or background, animated works only if you have assigned to your text."

    Pulse exposure works by animating the race.

  • Help, please!  Question text animation.

    Hello

    It is perhaps a silly question, but this is really stumping me.  I want to animate a title using some of the predefined text animations, but I can't seem to apply an animation that makes the text appear AND an animation that makes the text disappears.  I can do one or the other, but not both.

    For example, I want my title text appear with "FocusIn", and I want it to disappear with 'DropOutByCharacter '.  How can I do this?  I have looked everywhere and lost a whole day trying to figure this!

    Thank you.

    -epompa03

    Unfortunately, you can only apply an animation at the same time.

    However, you can duplicate your title, put both titles from end to end and apply an animation of the opening one and one fence to another.

  • Questions about CURSOR FOR... LOOP

    Good evening

    In reading the posts here, I came across a number of cases where it was clear that there is no special affection for the cursor for loops.

    I googled... found around articles naming some minor inconveniences, but nothing which would justify the aversion towards them, I noticed here.

    My questions are:

    1. why the cursor for loops so undesirable?
    2. What are alternative fuels?

    Thank you for helping,

    John.

    Published by: 440bx - 11 GR 2 on August 12, 2010 21:23 - plural on the issue and remove superfluous in the subject.

    Hey John,

    http://asktom.Oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0:P11_QUESTION_ID:760210800346068768

    Has some good points on the subject.

    Cursor loops are not "bad" per say, but they go against the philosophy of treatment in bulk (unless you do things like increase your cursor with BULK COLLECT and FORALL, that would go to point 2 in your question).

    Basically, when you see a large number of cursor loops you get something like someone writing their own LOOPS IMBRIQUEES join inside pl/sql

    for x in
    (
       select * from table1
    )
    loop
       for y in
       (
          select * from table2 where table2.column1 = x.column1
       )
       loop
    ....
    

    While you could just write a single SQL

       for x in
       (
          select x.columns, y.columns
          from table1 x, table2 y
          where x.column1 = y.column1
       )
       loop
          ....
    

    The former removes a lot of options for optimization of Oracle queries can / could do since he doesn't see s a SQL both. You hit repeatedly table2 (probably via a sweep of index which means that you will get a single block IO as opposed to IO multiples of block that can be done for FULL TABLE SCAN) and remove any chance of Oracle doing the treatment 'fantasy' through things like the HASH JOINS (if the optimizer has determined the request was a good fit for one) etc...

    In general, tie you the hands of the Oracles by dictating treatment rather than run through a whole considerable options to determine the best paths to the data you need.

    You can find much better on the site, AskTom explanations, I hope that this is a decent Preview so :)

    In Oracle 10 and better, Oracle will actually convert an implicit cursor (as I used above) in bulk, with a size of default array of 100 elements (you can measure this easily with a TKPROF and a simple implicit cursor). But that still won't help you much if you write your own nested loops join like I faked it above.
