Animation path trouble...

• Move the Animation path

  Hi, how to move the path of the entire animation works again? Sometimes it happens that when I want to move a node, the path of the wjole animation moves with it, now that I need exactly that I can't find it back, shift, ctrl, alt, on the knb, on line, on this point... none wants to be the good extraction. I checked google and manual , but was not able to find the answer. Very much appreciated tip.

  Kind regards

  Go to the initial keyfame of the trajectory.  Click on the position property to highlight all the layers.  Now move the cursor arrow AE standard, or with the up-down-right-left arrow keys, whose effect can be multiplied by a factor of 10 by in combination with the SHIFT key.

• Animation paths from Illustrator problem

  I need a text to an animation of a font of thin script to another heavier script font, but the words remain the same. I built on my departure layout fonts & ending in artificial intelligence and convert the text to paths. For each character, I copied data path to HAVE a solid in AE, but during playback, the summits will lead in the wrong direction, essentially reversing each way. I posted a picture below.

  -J' "put the first Summit" for the start and end

  -J' tried 'setting of the first Summit' on a different position on the path

  -J' tried to reverse the path in artificial intelligence

  -J' tried mask interpolation, including all 3 of the match methods, "use 1:1 vertex matches" and "first game vertex.

  -J' thought that perhaps forms were too complex and broken every character in several basic forms. I posted an example of a bottom

  -J' I made sure each character has the same number of vertices

  What I'm doing wrong here? Is there a way to map the peaks beyond it is first? Or somehow reverse the order? The reverse order in illustrator button does not seem to translate into AE. I am running CS5. Thanks in advance for any help.

  

  OK, followed: the Vertex order is reversed between the masks and AE doesn't read the reverse order of the IA button, at least in CS5. I found a script that will reverse the order:

  Works like a charm now. This would be a great feature to include in the next version of AE, if you listen to Adobe.

• Adobe Captivate Question 9-Animation (path)

  I am currently working in Adobe Captivate 9 and fight with some paths.  I've got some grouped items (an example: a piece of the puzzle is grouped with a text box) and want to evolve together on a path.  This trajectory looks great in the preview, the preview of HTML5, etc..  However, when I publish it as a file zip for my E-Learning review, it looks nothing like the preview or preview of html5.  The piece of the puzzle is in one place, and the text ends by not moving does not regarding - as they seek is more as if they are grouped.

  In another example of this same question, groups I put movement paths on did not end with the position that they appeared at the end in HTML5 preview or overview screen.

  You cannot apply a trajectory groups? Does anyone else have this problem? How can I solve it?

  You can apply trajectories to groups, but it is a little tricky. It is the focal point of the group following the path.

  Alternatively, you can check your version number? There are questions for the output in the first version. The current version is 9.0.1.320

• access/motion animation path arrow appears in the exported animation

  Hello!

  I am currently working on a short film and used the motion tween function. When I use it, there is a line in the color of my layer, which shows the movement that I put or "arrow".

  The problem is this arrow is still in the animation after I exported in an avi file. When I try to delete, it deletes the animation too.

  I couldn't find a solution and that's why I thought you could learn more - because I'm a bloody beginner

  I use action script 2 and adobe flash cs5.

  Greetings, Thunderbirdy

  This is a bug.

  to remedy this, do not use a motion tween.  use a classic Tween.

• After effects paths CC2015/animation work does not correctly

  @Trying through AE classroom in a book.  When you try to apply animations for traces.  they do not work properly? Each path fades in and out of text without movement of path.

  I am running AE on a PC system.

• After effects of shape Animation

  I'm creating a simple shape animation, where he goes to a completely different shape to another. I use the tool pen to make these forms. I put keyframes from point A to point B on the path tab. I'm having trouble trying to take the second path.

  What I have done is to remove all other points and left the main Summit. I'm trying to shoot this second form, but it keeps giving me a closed shape when I want to open a. If I did not open one, I have to keep clicking on the line to make more points which is extra work that I know that I shouldn't be doing.

  How can I do this an unclosed path so I can draw this shape or y at - it a better way to do what I'm doing?

  Here are some pictures of what I'm trying to do.

  

  I tried to look for something like this by hiding everything I could find is a similar shape.

  First of all, you should get a warning when you animate paths, remove or add a point, causing unpredictable results. It is generally not a good idea to delete the path points.

  

  Checking preserve constant Vertex and County of pen in the General preferences to avoid these problems. With this option checked when you delete everything except a point that it clogs up your animation before this point because now there is no point to preserve. You will find yourself with a point that does not define a line or a shape.

  If you uncheck preserve constant Vertex and County of pen you can do what you want, but you will need to open the path before you delete the other until the last point. Once a closed path always a firm. That's why you found the loop.

  You need two points to open or close a path. Work is about to open the path before you delete the other until the last point. This by selecting the last two points in the desired shape (or colon), then right click and select mask and shape path > closed and uncheck the box Closed. Delete the point. Now when you begin to add points once again, you'll have an open path.

  

  However, if you have selected fill then you will get a fill stretching between points on your way.

  

  There is no path closed here, but the filling will be always delivered. There is no way around that. I hope this helps you understand the editing and animation paths.

  The other option would be to simply start another shape layer.

• trace of predefined text animation

  What I am doing wrong? I want to apply an animation of type preset text path. I type in the text, in this case the word "whatever", select it in the timeline panel and then set up the trace of predefined text animation "PIPES" and drag it on the word or the layer in the timeline panel. "PIPES" and its path will appear, however they erase the word "whatever." It wont let me change the 'PIPES' place holder text with my word and even when I press play, the word "PIPES" is just there like the compostion plays and that it does not animate along its path. Any ideas?

  Here, there is a work around:

• animating vector shapes

  I'm trying to animate a logo of sequels. The logo has three letters I consists of forms of arrow. I would like to as forms of arrow to increase in height, but I have simply no idea how sequels. I should draw the shape in AE? Can I import vector shapes? The shape of the logo is attached below. I wish that each arrow to grow in the series from the smallest to the largest. Maybe someone can explain how to animate one of the arrows, and I can build on it to animate the rest of forms?

  .

  There are several ways to do so. One is to animate the track of layer or shape mask. The other is to create a work in layers in Illustrator with arrow shapes which are longer than necessary, then must animate. If the work is already created, it would be useful to know how it was done. If you want to create shapes from scratch then you can just copy each of the arrow shapes using the feather in AE, or using other drawing tools. Another solution would be to create a triangle and a rectangle, and then animate the position of the triangle and the scale of the rectangle. The only thing that is a type of constant in the project, is that each layer that is a different color, probably, should be unique.

  If you don't know what I'm talking about the extraction of the help files on the animation of shape layers and animating paths.

• Is there a way to resize the CP9 effects?

  Hello

  I use 9 Captivate and want to use the effect > path > circle for the project, I'm trying. However, when I select the animation path is very small on my workspace. Is there a way to easily expand the path without compromising the circle? I tried to expand the circle manually, but the lines deform easily. I tried to click on the circle of motion, now the SHIFT key and drag the circle, but it does not work.

  Any ideas? -Thank you!

  You are on the latest version of 9.0.1.320? I would recommend using Guides dragged out the new leaders. Use two vertical and two horizontal Guides that create a square pattern. You can drag the four points of the circular to align the guides path. Just be sure that the point of departure, which will be the left most point of the circular path, rest in the same place.

  Here is a screenshot of what I'm trying to explain, the original circle was much smaller, I edited with guides, both the points and the points of tangency (would be so much easier if snap was working for these points and shift for binding movements):

  

• Bridge and aftermath

  Hello!

  I'm new to after effects, but no news the adobe programs. I could be considered an "advanced user" for several of their products.

  Currently, I'm trying to teach me how to use After Effects with the classroom in a book series. to this teaching of the series, one of the things that they teach is the integration between the bridge and the consequences to listen to excerpts and then export, effects. However, the integration between these two software proves to be very bug.

  In accordance with the instructions in the book, I'm supposed to be able to preview the special text effects in the bridge and then place them in a layer selected in after effects, but which usually nothing happens. After several attempts, I came to the conclusion that this part of the software did not work. I was able to work around this problem by going in After effects in the effect controls panel and dragging and dropping into the selected layer. I don't use Bridge to preview.

  Unfortunately, I hit a technical snafu with a loading animation path. It does not work in after effects Panel, and when I try to export the bridge in accordance with the instructions of books, I get this error message: "after effects error: impossible to import the file"Pipes.ffx": type of file not supported or extension.»

  Does anyone have an idea as to what is happening? I am on a mac equipped with mavericks, using the most recent downloads of the Affects and bridge.

  Thanks for your help!

  All the best-

  Jane

  This is fixed in the 2014.2 effects after update (13.2), which is now available.

• FLA file contains only 1 frame

  I'm trying to open a FLA file in Flash Professional CS6.  When I opened the .fla file, everything is compressed in a unique setting and all animation paths, interpolation, etc. disappeared.  I can't read the file, because there is only a single image.

  I don't know what version of Flash the original .fla file has been created, but I do not have the work .swf file, that validates as version 8 SWF.

  I have opened other .fla files and retouched.  I'm CS6 running on a Windows XP laptop.

  Is the problem on my side, even with the original files?  Is there a compatibility issue when opening the fla files created in older versions of Flash?

  Thanks for your help.

  There is no problem using cs6 to open the fla not created with other versions of flash.  If your fla can publish a SWF to work, then the fla is the problem.

• Move the layer but keep anchor still

  Hi, I know that I can use the Pan behind tool to move a layer anchor point. Now for adjustment purposes that I need to move the layer, but keep the anchor point where it is... otherwise it changes the path of the animation. Is this possible?

  Kind regards

  Frank

  I guess you have your animation path and you want to change the position of the layer to this track. If you simply position keyframes adjust anchor point values in the timeline panel. You can click and drag on the values, so that you can see the movement of the layer from the path.

  If you have animated a layer by setting keyframes in the anchor point so that you can change the relative position of the layer by rubbing through the position values in the timeline panel.

  If you have animated the two position and anchor, then you can open the layer in the layer panel, reveal the path of the anchor, select all the keyframes of an anchor in the scenario, click and drag on any keyframes the anchor to drag all this without creating a new keyframe. You can see and move keyframes from the plug-in position which has properties of position in the layer window and do the same thing.

  You can use the same select all the keyframes in the technical timeline to recover and move a path any position in the composition window.

  If this doesn't give you a solution I don't understand your problem.

• Possible to bend a line of text?

  Hello! Is there a way to animate a detour of a line of text? I tried a bunch of distortion tools in AE but not working like I want. I suspect that this could be done with a kind of type on the access road and the animated path. An example would be great pointing me in the right direction.

  Best regards / Jimmy

  Remember my first post. Make your text layer, draw a mask, set keyframes, fix the text on the path.

  Here are two screenshots. Took more time to find a way to spell your text to do animation.

  

  

  You should be able to understand. I actually created a circular mask first, 2-point pick, then selected open in the mask (the mask in the timeline, right-click) options and then deleted another point to give me a perfect semicircle. Then, I put a keyframe, moved to a place earlier in the timeline and edited the curve to form a straight line with 3 points.

  I hope this helps.

• Instantiate a single animation at each vertex of a path in order

  I tried somewhat unsuccessfully. I have a (A) path that I created (say) in Illustrator that has 100 + points placed at various locations. It is a unique and unclosed path. I have also a simple animation (B) by a point to appear (with scale) and before disappearing (through the opacity) previously set up within the main composition. I wish I had 100 + instances of animation (B) appear at every vertex on the path (A) in sequence. How could I do it?

  Right now I have the animation loop (B) and drawing the path from one end to the other but this isn't what I want. There is a script of the Illustrator who did something similar to what I think (an object twice in selected parts of another object). Is there a similar way to do this in After Effects without manually put the animation at any point? Maybe in a script? Thanks in advance for your help.
