AE cS5.5 using a shaper of IT make a mask

How can I (or can I?) use a form import from AI CS 6 in a mask?

I watched several videos and sought HELP in the upper right corner - but can't seem to solve this problem.

I am trying to create a reusable eye for the animation of several characters. I have 3 layers at the top down:

1. an oval (white of the eye)

2. a black circle (the student)

3. a larger black oval contour (shape of the eye)

I duplicated the layer 1 and placed in layer 3 and cannot get to the student to make when it moves from one side or the other is not visible if it moves outside the 'form of eye."

Can someone tell me how to "make this form, hide the pupil underneath? Thank you very much!

BTW - one of the many ways I've tried - was to make a solid layer and try to stick this oval "shape of mask" in / on this solid layer. But I could not do this work.

And I can do this using the shape tool layer - but my goal is to use the form to HAVE it. Thank you very much!

YouTube search often increase... poor quality tutorials. Type in what you are interested in the topic in the search in the help of EI field will make you better. Here is a portion of the document helps. However, given that you're new to AE, I have somewhere, you should probably start first. It is this link. AE is very unlike other applications, in order to get a solid base in the AE works is the key to success.

  • Need help to transform a shape layer in a layer mask blur adjustment

    I understand how to do a blur mask on the image adjustment layer, so it blurs the images below, which is essentially what I'm trying to do, but in this case, I already have the shape layer (or rather imported from Illustrator > converted to a shape layer) and is in a nested composition.

    First of all, is it possible to blur the images of a composition if the adjustment layer is nested in a composition of the child, or the adjustment layer must be in the parent publication; the composition is blurry?

    Second of all, how we simply take a form that they have already created and use that for a mask, in this case, a mask that will blur everything below?

    Forum thanks!

    There are a few things that are not effective in your workflow and your approach.

    Lets talk first about the Illustrator files in After Effects. Firstly, absolutely the only reason you would ever convert a layer to illustrator in a form would be to use animator tools found in the add menu at the top of the shape layer properties in the timeline panel or to animate a Bézier path on this layer. There is no other advantage in converting a vector layer to a shape. NONE.

    Second, if you want to hide an adjustment layer then you can draw the mask directly on the adjustment layer or any layer with transparency, including an illustrator layer, layer photoshop, any hidden layer or layer shape directly on top of the adjustment layer and use this layer with transparency as an Alpha or Alpha reverse cache by approach to the adjustment layer.

    You can use the luminance values of any layer that has no transparency that a luma or reversed hides by luma approach. The white areas offer transparency with luma standard. IOW, if you have a radial with white in the middle and black gradient on the edge and you use a luma matte and white will be transparent on the layer below.

    Standard caches only affects the layer immediately below the source.

    Adjustment effect layers each layer directly under the adjustment layer. Masks and caches can be used to control the effects of an adjustment layer.

    You can also use masks on any layer to control the effect added to this layer if you have a recent version of AE. You will find the option under options to Compositing.

    If you have any layer with transparency or the strong luminance values, you can use Auto Trace to generate a cache for this layer based on transparency or luminance. Any way shape mask or Bézier path can be copied and pasted to another layer.

    We will take your last question now. You should be able to answer. To use any shape you created as a mask, you use this layer as a track matte.

    We will change that approach a bit and assume that you have created a shape layer by using the pen tool or converted an Illustrator layer to a shape. You have a path that you can be found by selecting the shape layer and by pressing twice the key U. find the path you want to copy, rotate options path to reveal animation controls and to set a single keyframe and then copy (Ctrl/Cmnd + c). Even of the forms created with parametric tools like star, ellipse, rectangle can be converted into a path by right-clicking the shape and selecting convert to paths. When you have copied the path put you on the layer where you want to paste the path, select the pen tool to begin to draw a mask, click anywhere on the layer and paste it (ctrl/cmnd + v) and that you have created the mask. This works for forms and masks on any layer.

    Here's a bet to keep everything by copying and pasting masks. The size and position of a path is calculated from the center of the layer and has no relationship to scaling, rotating, or the position of the layer. If you drew a mask on a layer that is resized to 50% and moved to the top right of the comp and rotated 45 ° and then paste this path to any other layer you will NOT get a path in the same position and the same size as the layer sampled in the model. You end up with a path that match if every sampled layer transformation properties have been reset and the layer was at the center of the model and the rotation and scale were normal. You must pay attention to this issue by copying and pasting traces of Bézier.

    I missed a question type. If you nest or call a layer previously and there is an adjustment layer in the main computer it will affect all layers below. If you dial before a layer and a top adjustment layer then only layers in the nested model will be influenced by the adjustment layer.  I replied before but wanted to make sure.

    BE very careful when you watch YouTube tutorials on workflow because a growing number of them is bad teaching techniques and pointing you to the bottom of the dead-end alleys. Make sure you vet your training.

    If you have any other questions the best place to find good community resources is to type a word in the search help field in the upper right of the AE. For example, if you typed layer adjustment or masks, you would find a lot of very good advice on how to use these features.

  • CS5.5 use a hyperlink to integrate Web pages in dw page

    Hello

    I CS5.5 using a new page (header liquid foot of col 3). I have a hypertext link to an external resource (pages hosted elsewhere), I would like to appear in the main div container. Properties allow the use of frames, but the guidelines suggest not to use frames.

    Can I get the hyperlink to the "Web page" in .container.

    I tried Googling for help, but my keyword research have not helped so far. Hope that I have explained myself fully.

    Concerning

    Hyperlink = a link to another URL.

    Inline Frames is a URL embedded within your main site page.  Iframes are not the same frameworks or .  However, if you do not control the external web site, you may have problems on the road.  For example, the external site may be too large to fit your container.  Or worse still, other site owners may decide to take the page down, which leaves you with nothing.

    Code inline Frame:

  • Using "copy transform-effect" as a clipping mask

    1. I have a box shape, with effect of transformation applied on that copy the box 5 times horizontally.

    2. I want to use these 6 boxes as a clipping mask.

    3. How do I:

    (a) directly use this object as a clipping mask? None, as if that were possible. When I try it only uses the unique original as the mask box. The other 5 boxes disappear.

    (b) ' break' the shape of box object 6 separate boxes so that they are more "copies ghosts" but individual objects that I can then together to form a real clipping mask.

    Object > expand appearance

    This will allow you to do both A and b. Although for A you will need to then choose object > compound path > make before you create the clipping mask.

  • Alt in cs5 tags using

    Hello

    I'll try to find an easy answer to the alt tags - can I assign/name of the alt tags in cs5? I will be uploading images to my ecommerce web site.

    If this cannot be done within cs5, which is the easiest way to add alt tags without having to open each image in another program.

    Thank you

    Lynn

    The Alt tag is not contained in the image, so be it. This is the HTML code. If you use a content management system as your e-commerce stuff, you need to enter data in the form of download. If this is not possible in most CMSs will award an automatic name based on the title of the article / name, the date of the transfer, the name of the file or any combination of these things and you won't be able to manualyl control it.
