• Transparent background in photoshop after effect asset

  So I created animation

  the movement of character (stop motion type of transfer), that I did in photoshop

  It took 150layer

  the transparent layer of course and I try record video/quicktime .mov and gif with transparency box also checked

  but the problem is when I try to combine them with animated background in after effect

  title.mov both gif still have Fund (= black background mov, gif = white background)

  How can I get rid of this backdrop, so my character transparent bg?

  No matter which setting for this problem when I save the PS?

  the .mov file, I try to display/add blend... mode but not really work given the lineart (black line) become transparent too

  Thank you

  the problem is your render in PS settings. If you want you need to make transparency Alpha channel information:

  

  Choose straight Alpha to avoid complications and you'll be fine.

• Animate would be the best choice for 8 and 16 second ads Board animated digital wall?

  Hello, I'm looking for some advice which would be better suited for 8 and 16 second animation ads Board digital wall?  I need to combine video or animated backgrounds with graphic content, photos, video, and custom text and be able to animate these objects and thus create transitions smoothly.  I feel like Animate would be preferable but perhaps direction or after effects would work or be better?  Or maybe I should use all 3!  But above all what I am looking for the easiest way and fastest of these ads on the pump and that balance with control.  The final output should be a 1280 px h x 800 px s (not in standard size video HD 1280 x 720?)  and a MP4 or Quicktime video.

  Thank you very much for your help to anyone who can give me some insight or advice.

  I am quite proficient in Photoshop and get around pretty good in illustrator and indesign.

  Thank you

  Don't they actually meant 800 since it can be a custom size screen. Adobe Edge is a mostly defunct simple animation tool for the web. The things you can't do in animation you can do in After Effects are for most of the basic stuff, like realistic smoke particles and fire and lights or blurs than those who can also be made in Animate. I'd do things to animate and export to After effects for everything you need. It really comes down to what program you know best.

  With After Effects, I can import a PSD and manipulate any layer of gazillion ways. Or implement videos and layer those into the mix. It can be overwhelming at first, but once you understand the basics of the sky is the limit. I could watch tutorials AE starting on YouTube and see if it feels right for you.

  I used to be more experienced in Flash (now animate) but no more and only touched on board.

  For the first test case, I tried to create a program that has some controls and I put a animated background behind her done with nodes in transition. With such a test, I received the following Visual result:

  The background is made of white circles que increase and decrease more than time asynchronously. Notice how the interface (controls) is put on the top, and Unfortunately, it is not aligned for what is of the application window. Tthere resulting code from the image above can be seen below:

  I also have tried to change the root of my scene graph to StackPane. Unfortunately, the result was weird. Despite my interface controls went to the middle of the window (which is what I wanted), the bottom began to to animate in a totally weird way. I don't know what else to do on this subject. , It would be strange If this type of feature is not exist in JavaFX, because I could easily do this kind of thing to the Swing Framework library and timming. So far, I still can't understand how I could get around this problem. As a user of JavaFX, I think that it would be more interesting if the JavaFX developers would put more cool similar things to present in the documentation us. Well... If someone can help me Iwill be really grateful. I don't know a lot of people peut Can also take advantage of this too.

  
  

  Thank you for your attention and patience in any case.

  It seems to me that I finally got the result I wanted, thanks to God and to you for this. I'd love to share with the community here:

  Using StackPane as root, it seemed to me that I was not getting the desired result. As you say, make use of the group for circles, causes odd effect I spoke. That's because you showed me in the JavaFX API, group is committed to the size of its child nodes. As in this type of animation background changes its size in transition (and because it's in a layout that centralizes things like StackPane), it seems that the circles are not calm and move every time they becoming or shrinkage. Using StackPane as one parent node to the circles, they are all mainly in the center of the Panel, as it is one of the goals of StackPane. As I intend to change their positions, I used the following code block so that it is possible (in the case where triggered when the button is clicked):

  circle.setTranslateX(Math.random() * cenario.getWidth());
  circle.setTranslateY(Math.random() * cenario.getHeight());
  

  He was supposed to distribute the circles in the background of the window. However, it was not quite what happened. This that this resulted in circles in the background OF THE CENTER OF THE BACKGROUND, not distributing from the upper left, as initially planned by me. This means that the starting position in the center of a StackPane node leaves, that is to say StackPane not only centralizes things, but also change the initial position of them. For the circles to be distributed properly, I had to take into account the negative positions, since their origin was like being in the Center. With that, I could find the following code:

  circle.setTranslateX( random.nextInt((int) cenario.getWidth()) - cenario.getWidth() / 2 );
  circle.setTranslateY( random.nextInt((int) cenario.getHeight()) - cenario.getHeight() / 2 );
  

  All this race about ended up giving me the tree of the following nodes:

  The only little problem that 'left' now is when the user resizes the application. Once that circles are distributed whenever the application is resized they need be distributed again. My test application doesn't have with that in mind, but I think I can solve this problem easily using a layout that arranges the nodes by the edges of a panel using a proportional positioning. For example, should be a sign of provision for organizing nodes always a certain percentage of the edges. This can be done easily with a layout of the custom panel, because AnchorPane behaves in a different way.

  I think that what I have to do now is go back and learn how to create a custom layout Panel. I want to thank all of you for your patience and your good intention to help. Thank you, really!

  If anyone has anything to add, or corrections to what I said earlier, I would be very happy. The richest is this thread, best JavaFX is accepted for other users.

• Wearing the animated titles of EI to PP

  Hi all

  I have a few recorded interviews and took a sample video of one of them to create an animation that shows the name and the role they play in the subject. I need to customize each title for each person, of course, and I was wondering the best way to achieve this.

  Here are the effects after layers:

  Top of the PAGE title and role (fixed a custom for each clip title animation)

  2 animation brand band where title seat (even for each clip)

  3 clip video test (for positioning but should be replaced first by video editing)

  BACKGROUND image of animated background that plays during the title animation, and then disappears (even for each clip)

  I would like to customize each sequence of title for each actor. Because one of the layers is located below the video layer (but is mixed the video background being black) I need to be able to first as layers and reposition around the video clip.

  What is the most effective way to do this. I thought that as the background animation and animation of the title band are set, I could create a composition and another composition for the specific title and make each unique for each actor. I was wondering what is the best "workflow" to do this. I can sequels ignore the video clip of test to avoid it being exported. Should I delete or can I just say AE not to export, or to include in PP?

  Thanks for any help

  If it were my project, I would create a different model for each name by simply duplicating the comps in the project Panel, and then changing the name. I remove the background video, duplicate the comps, change the names, and then render each title using the mark to return or SOUL using the Lossless with Alpha preset. Securities made would be introduced in the body and added capture appropriate in the above sequence.

  If you have CC 2014 I would work differently. I would create a text in AE for Premiere Pro template. It is a much more efficient workflow. Here's how: How to create patterns of text in After Effects for Premiere Pro | Tutorials Adobe after effects CC

  OK, hope someone can help me understand what Im missing here.

  I have an animation of Adobe edge, composed of PNG and a transparent stage. If I place the OAM file in a jpg article animation with transparent overlays phase my background in indesign (below the OAM) and works very well.

  When I place the CAO even in an article PDF Animation scene doesn't have a transparent stage therefor blocking my background?

  I thought with the new tools that you can put HTML files with transparent steps to PDF articles?

• Emergency aid the problem of adobe flash cs4 animation

  I am working currently on the amimation project, after that I am referring to:

  
  

  http://www.pixelhivedesign.com/Tutorials/Flash+matrix+-+animated+code+effect/

  
  

  and successfully make an animated background matrix, then the problem, some object or symbol or animation I put on the background will automatically become 'transparent', who can see the word matrix pass through it, I am completely newbie on this software and any help is welcome

  BTW, I use adobe flash cs4
  

  You must manually create an empty movieclip and place it on the stage in the upper left corner on a background layer of the main timeline.  Then, assign it an instance name of "backgroundMC" This movieclip is where the code will place all the matrix elements to be created.

  To create an empty movieclip, in the toolbar at the top of the page, select Insert-> new symbol-> Movieclip... assign a symbol name as "Virgin mc" or something so that you know what it is to return to the main document choose edition--> the main Document, and then drag a copy of the new movieclip to the upper-left corner of the stage.

  When it is still selected, assign it an instance name "backgroundMC" in the properties panel, where it says "" (you can name it what you want, but I'm just using background MC for this example to work.

  If you did this correctly, the matrix will be limited now to be in this context movieclip and you can place another object above it in the other layers.

• 3d background

  Hello
  
  I do a portfolio site and I created a 3d background that turns slowly. Now I got this Director, but I can't make a top site. Everything I try to place on top of the Shockwave animation will not appear. I also do not know if this is the best way to go, but the general idea is to have a non-interactive animated background that is built on 3d models and have a normal site above it. In this context in flash would be ideal but I don't think it's possible.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need more information ask away. ^_^
  
  Thanks in advance

  I m that s don't know what you mean, but you * can * place elements such as images and text on the top a member 3d, inside Director.

  To do this, simply select your 3d sprite, in the property inspector, select the model "3D" tab and disable DTS. New sprites placed on top of your 3d model should now appear normally.

  Please note that this might make slower 3d animation - but I Don t thing for a 3d background, it must be a problem.

  I hope that helps!

• Xperia Tablet S - flickering of screen during games

  I have a problem where, while playing games, I get some serious flickering along the left side of the screen. I use the latest version of the ICS. Is anyone at Sony know on this subject and how to fix it? I can post a video when I get home.

  See you soon,.

  You want me to stop using animations while playing games? My problem has nothing to do with animated backgrounds...

• How to stop windows that open up behind the taskbar and sidebar

  I was wondering if there was a way to stop windows from behind the taskbar and sidebar of Vista SP2, I currently have my taskbar on the right side on the same width as my sidebar, located on the left side of the screen. Both have been set to keep above other windows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

  Even if it meant having the image of the shrunken desktop so it fit perfectly into the space remaining.

  Also, is it possible to have a mobile wallpaper?

  Oddities of the operating system, I think. Having the bar spots on the side at least gives you a chance to save a program window. I run the taskbar double wide at the top, and some programs insist on opening umderneath it. I have to resize the task bar if I want to be able to move the window anywhare. Also happens in Win 7...

  DreamScene animated backgrounds were for Vista Ultimate only, but Stardock has called the Scapes desktop that will run on other versions of Vista, but you must pay for it.

• BlackBerry curve 9300 BlackBerry Smartphones frozen except topic and does not connect to the pc... what I will do?

I tried connecting to the blackberry Desktop Manager and he knows that the phone is connected computer just used connect fully. Please help me in what he should do about it because I'm really upset that it was a birthday present, and it does not work

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Ive just spent the last 4 hours trying to untangle the little sisters of my GF after that she has downloaded a theme that just froze EVERYTHING.

  It's pretty simple, you need to do:

  1. remove the battery

  2 reinsert the battery - but keep an eye on the LED on the top right

  3. when the LED turns off (after a few seconds) press ESC (the escape key is the the winding arrow to the right of the beach towel)

  4. keep the presses until the process on the start screen bar is complete.

  5. This will start the phone in "safe" mode Click OK in all messages telling you your in safe mode

  6. now go and delete this app wasted hours of your life trying to remove!

  Hope this helps

• BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry noob a few questions.

  Hello. I am quite new to the Blackberry platform. I was a Windows Mobile user for a long time and now I made the switch. Once an expert with WM devices, but now a complete noob with Blackberry. So please don't be too hard on my noobness . in any case to my questions...

  (1.) I wanted to sign in BB online so I can manage my e-mail accounts in the computer oppose on my camera and it wouldn't let me create a sign in ID or connect. Whenever I have enter my PIN/imei number it tells an account has already been done, but I don't have an account. The only thing I did with my blackberry so far is implemented my gmail on my blackberry account and my gmail info does not appear to be sufficient for connection to blackberry online.

  2.) I have set up my gmail to keep the messages on my machine during 15 days. After the 15 days are up these messages are removed from my email all together? or did he just disappears from my camera, but stay in my email account?

  (3.) from WM platform, I got used to having my calendar on my home screen. I guess I have to download a new theme for my blackberry, but I don't want to bog down the new theme to the effectiveness of my BlackBerry smart phone. That will be the case if I download a new theme or am I just being haunted by fears of slowdown I've experienced with the platform WM glitch? suggestions as to what theme?

  You must connect on your BB device and create a user/pw name it for the opening of the office.

  Just removed from your device.

  It should not. There are a few bloated themes out there (mainly those with animated backgrounds).

  For example, here's one that I use now that I like much, with the upcoming calendar events and the last messages displayed on the home screen:
