Best practices and advice to help you need to create an animation

Hello

I produce my first project in AE and came across this example which is similar to what I have need to be implemented in the project.

http://www.Lonja.de/Wikipen/

(see 8 seconds in the video of imagespot)

My scenario is that I need to portray a network of nodes that are all related (and possibly growing in number, network links and nodes flourishing points of spawn of other nodes describing the network is an infinite extensible entity).

Could anyone suggest how I would create this, direct me to tutorials, or let me know what is the term for this kind of kinetic movement related?

The important thing, I guess, is how to manage the efficient workflow. There must be a better way than the animation of 50 + nodes individually, also how better would be the network links that connect the nodes (as in the example), so that they follow the nodes where they (this movement can be random).

Any help appreciated

Thank you

Matt

    Photoshop is a real program produced by Adobe and Yes, the
    Word is often used in reference to photos that have been published.
    "Looks like it has been retouched.

    Adobe Photoshop is not freeware, but they offer a trial version
    You can use for a time limited.

    There are many image editors and a number of free but if
    you have a fast internet connection following free online
    the Publisher may be worth a try. At least it would give you an idea of
    what you agree.

    You mentioned "do the eyes and nose larger/smaller'...try the"
    following steps.

    When you open the form from the Publisher if you press the F11 key
    your keyboard, it must develop in full screen.

    First of all, you need to upload a photo. On the screen of the editor... go...
    File / open my computer and navigate to the photo you
    you want to change. When the photo is displayed in the box for editing... go to
    See / adapt to the screen.

    Now, go to... Filter / distortion / pinch.

    In the palette of pinch... try dragging the sliders at the top of the page
    in the Center... now when you drag the cursor to the lower left or right
    from scratch... it should contract or expand the center of the face
    (this assumes that the face is centered on the photo).

    If you arrive at a result, you are happy with click left OK and you
    can save the image as follows...

    File / save to my computer...

    Enter a new name for the edited version, so it will not delete
    the original.

    Select... JPG / 100 / Save...

    In few seconds the backup screen will appear... Choose a backup location...
    Desktop might be a good choice... then on the left, click the "Save" button.

    If you wish you can download and install a program on your hard drive...

    Be aware that there is a learning curve a little stiff with image
    editing software and since you are running Vista Basic... you can
    have resource problems. The program can be very slow, and in some
    instances, you will notice that it will freeze.

  • I can work on after effects being coded by best practices and Media Encoder file

    I just found out that after effects files can be returned outside the program using the media encoder.  I had been made in after effects of .mov, then open the file in photoshop to render the .mov to a mp4.  Not the process faster, but it worked.  If I use media encoder to make my legacy model would still be able to work in AfterEffects and edit and save the file rendered in media encoding, or it is locked?  I hear also the media encoder is slower than the after effects encoder.  What are the best practices for a comp sequelae which makes a mp4 (h264)?  Thank you...

    Depending on what you do the SOUL can be slower than using index rendering, but that's the only thing that you must use to make H.264 files.

    When you send a model to the SOUL a virtual copy of this composition that is the source for this rendering. You can continue to work on the same computer and additional changes but if you want these changes appears you will need to send this model to the SOUL again after making the changes.

    Almost without exception, I'm working on plans not and certainly never movies sequences in After Effects. My average computer is probably seven seconds, my average film is probably 30 minutes so I use AE to work on plans for effects which cannot be treated in my NLE. I almost always send a model to the SOUL to render a h.264 or a suitable production master, or both, and then I continue working in AE because I can't afford to wait for a rendering time. On almost all of it is the more efficient workflow.

  • NetApp Best Practice and independent labels

    Hi, Best practices for VMware NetApp recommends, transitional and temporary data such as comments

    pagefile operating system, temporary files and swap files, must be moved to another disk virtual one

    different data store as snapshots of this type of data can consume a large amount of storage in a very short time



    high time due to the rate of change (that is, to create a data store dedicated to transitional and temporary for all VMS data without other types of data or VMDK residing on it).

    NetApp recommends also configure the VMDK residing in these stores data as "Independent persistent" disks in vCenter. Once configured, the transitional and temporary data VMDK will be excluded from the VMware vCenter snapshot and copy snapshot of NetApp initiated by SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure.

    I would like to understand the impact of this best practice - can anyone advise on the following:

    • If the above is implemented:

      • Snapshots will work via vcenter?

      • Snapshots will work via the Netapp Snapmanager tool?

      • The snapsot includes all of VM disks? If this is not the case, what is the consequence of not having the whole picture of the VM?

      • The snapshot of vcenter can restore ok?

      • Netapp snapshot can restore ok?

    • What impact the foregoing has on the process of return if using a backup product that relies on snapshot technology?

    Thank you





    Hi Joe

    These recommendations is purely to save storage space when the replication or backup.

    For example, you can move your *.vswap (VM swap file) file to a different data store. NetBackup can do instant IVMS of the warehouses of data and with this configuration, you can exclude this particular data store

    This is also true if you create a data store dedicated for OS Swap files, mark independent so that vCenter not relieve these VMDK.

    I did a project with NetApp on boxes of SAP production

    We moved all the files in *.vswap to warehouses of data created and dedicated RDM for the OS Swap locations

    We actually used the SnapDrive one NetApp technology to suspend the DB SQL on the ROW before the ROW is broken, but I won't go into too much detail

    To answer your questions (see the comments in the quote)

    joeflint wrote:

      • The snapsot includes all of VM disks? If this is not the case, what is the consequence of not having the whole picture of the VM? -No. - *.vswap file is created when the VM is started (no need to backup)

    -OS Swap VMDK of location must be re-created in the case of restoration. WIndows will be

    always Prime if the Swap disk is missing, and you specify the new location of swap.

    • What impact the foregoing has on the process of return if using a backup product that relies on snapshot technology? -These backup products use vCenter snapshots and because the vCenter snapshots works 100% it shouldn't be a problem.

  • Web Viewer: Best practices and Limitations

    The opportunity to share our publication online via a web viewer is an asset to have. However, I noticed some blockages in two folios, we have made available online: videos suddenly stop playing; slow scrolling pages are not completely accessible to see; interactivity does not work in different browsers. I wonder if there is any documentation or advice to ensure a smoother experience across all display options.

    Hello

    Thanks for the additional details. We look at the issues you reported and have a few comments.

    Here are a few quick notes for each of the elements.

    -Video suddenly stop playing.

    We had a new web viewer updated today, and this seems to have solved the problem with the video stopping on this article.

    http://ContentViewer.Adobe.com/s/Airman%20Magazine/c31b3f6bf51348f280a8bf8e57d33ee4/2013-0 6/7%20SUMMITS%20SIDEBAR.html

    In this article, there is a play button placed inside the OSM. ASM has been put to play as a slide show and the loop. It was originally an interaction with the video that caused it close. We have made some changes to the way video MSOs interact in this latest version, and that avoids this problem.

    Yet, in this case, apparently not necessary to use the DSO or even a button. For videos full screen like this, you can simply create the video overlay on the image of the button. With videos full screen, the area of overlay that you define behaves like a button "play" without you having to add explicitly one.

    -Scroll effect slow pages are not completely accessible for display

    We have also looked at this article and are able to reproduce the problem. As we develop a solution, we will work to get to a workaround to help you avoid this problem. We'll post here when we have some suggestions for you.

    -Interactivity does not work properly in different browsers

    We have experienced some problems with certain types of content in Internet Explorer. We are working on some improvements to help reduce these.

    I will address the two items that you referenced separately.

    -Multi-state objects does not properly

    There are some limitations with IE when it comes to the way it handles the interaction events. In this case, the layout of the content can be slightly adjusted to avoid this problem. I noticed that the positioning of several ESM is a little bit off.

    For example, the "VISUALS4" MSO is supposed to appear on the fourth page (index of the #3 page). However, if you look carefully at the InDesign file, you will see at the top of the OSM superimposed on the previous page of two pixels. As layering begins on the previous page, this is how it is rendered. Most modern browsers can handle this correctly, but it affects the stacking order in a way that causes a problem with IE.

    If you move all WHO the problem a few pixels to make sure that the upper part of the WHO is aligned with the top of the page, it should work properly in Internet Explorer.

    -Overlay of the play button has somehow to only changed the blue outline

    In reviewing the file folio for the article, it shows that the two States for the MSO play button use the same image.

    http://CDN-ContentViewer.Adobe.com/v/88e59469-94d0-4D3B-95cb-595c7d3a7944/7%20SUMMITS%20SI DEBAR/1/OverlayResources/InDesign_BNDLR_RSRC29936-633919858/Multi-state%2010_State%202_205 11_Content_L.png

    I don't know what the behavior planned for this MSO. It is configured as a slide-show mode that loops between the two States, once it is clicked. Because the OSM will be covered by the video full screen, which is the desired effect? Please explain what you want to achieve and we can provide suggestions.

    -No support for overlays

    On some browsers, including some versions of Internet Explorer, we support all interactive overlays. The screenshot you posted seems to be an overlay of imageSequence. This special overlay is not supported on some versions of Internet Explorer.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions or encounter other problems. We will do our utmost to help.

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma.
    You should try to remove and delete the upper and lower registry key filters: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Co ntrol\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    But it has been already mentioned in MS. knowledge base article

    Before delete upper and lower filters in the registry, you must delete the ODD (optical disc) in the Device Manager list.
    After that remove the upper and lower filters and restart the device.

    Hello

    I'm after some advice to get me going in the right direction.

    I have a lot of data, but now I must get some of them into a useful report. I guess I need to use GROUP BY, but right now I'm just rows of data rather than a useful table.

    bookingID, bookingDate, stats

    bookingID is an auto int (and not particularly relevant at the moment)
    bookingDate is dateFormat
    stats is a char (1) N, X, U, A, F, or P

  • AWM best practices 11g

    I will build a cube in AWM 11 g. It has 25 dimensions and some of the dimension tables has over 30 million records. I partitioned the cube on the dimension of time with the lowest level being months. One dimension took about 20 hours to build. I am now under the cube and makes more than 30 hours and its construction yet. I don't know what needs to be done to improve performance and just best practices in general. Thank you in advance. What is the recommended number of dimension to be used in the cube and are there recommendations as to how attributes affect the dim or hierarchies or how many measures to include in the cube. These cubes using OBIEE as the reporting tool.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    25 dimensions are really much if you say that each cube is sized by each of them. With Oracle OLAP, you do not have these limits for a number of dimensions of a cube, but a typical good efficient cube can have 5 to 8 dimensions. If you analyze your business needs, you might be able to create smaller cubes much keep each cube to have 5 to 8 dimensions so that the loading process is much faster and suffocate.

    How many members you load dimension which takes 20 hours? You load a view or table? Also if you do a complete refresh of dimesion with synchronization and the cube is also loaded it takes a while to load but still 20 hours indicates that something is wrong here.

    Cube load performance depends on several facts:

    1 percent to precalculate.

    2. the cube dimension. How many members in each a dimension.

    3. What is the depth of the predetermined.

    4. how many measures you have in each cube.

    5. is partitioned cube? If Yes, what level, you need to maybe resolve and arrive at a correct level for the partition. How partititions.

    6. If your cubes are not partitioned, then you make series load that is eating all your time building.

    More you pre-computes, load cube takes more time, AW takes more space on the disk. A cube performance has good combination of precompute so that charge takes in your load limit and also query does not suffer.
