Flash (is it for me?), Wacom Cintiq 22HD and Mac Mini

I have Flash as part of master CS6, that I bought mainly for InDesign, Photoshop, and first, but I have yet to open Flash. I hope someone here can save me time advised me if Flash is suitable for my purposes. I'm not a professional, just a passionate amateur, but I don't want to use software quality and the equipment to do the best job that I can.

Answers to a previous post in the Illustrator forum (Re: Animation - is Illustrator should I use?) suggested I try Flash.

Background

I use first to convert my audio-visual presentations to the HD format. In the 1980s, I was just in slideshows of three screens. As part of the transformation, I will be the introduction of a small number of video clips (where my need to first) and also short animation sequences, probably 10 seconds maximum. The animation will be a friend of the artist who strives to expand his talents in the art of the computer. If I buy the computer (a Mac kind), a Cintiq, load the software appropriate and then he loan at Steve and him show how to use it, it will spend as much time as necessary for animation. We barter: happens to use a computer and Tablet for as long as he wants, I get animation.

A typical animation could involve Steve drawing of contours at appropriate intervals, over a background, and then having the software generate the in-between. Shading of the watercolor-style (i.e., non-type of filling, monotone color) would be added, probably manually for each image, unless the interpolation can manage competently watercolor-style shading. For some of Steve doodles on his iPad (simplified versions of what we are aiming for), check out http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj731c17co55g5w/Steve's_iPad_Work.zip

We're both in this new and recently spent an afternoon together watching videos Flash and the Cintiq. The combination looks to it will work for us, but I have a few questions that I hope that some of the experts on this forum can answer. A simple Yes or no can save me hours of reading documentation only to discover that something does not work as I want. I'll also include some questions about the Cintiq and Mac Mini in the event that a person who uses with Flash can provide answers. I live in a place where I have no access to these features before you buy. I have to buy "in the cold". So my distrust.

Please note: I'm not an artist, and Steve is not computer. If some of these questions may seem stupid enough for an experienced user of Flash/Cintiq.

Question 1

Is Synfig Studio (as suggested at the end of my thread of Illustrator) something I should consider? Or Flash is a better bet?

Question 2

Flash's vector tools that mimic a watercolor brush in Photoshop? Or is this not possible as a vector, and these effects must be the external Flash and then imported in the background (or other method)?

Question 3

When a Flash movie is over, how is it exported, for example, to the Prime Minister? Do you export as h.264?

Question 4

It is not clear for me and Steve after reading three Cintiq videos, how the Cintiq interfaces in Flash. The Cintiq knows it on Flash and appropriates some drawing tools automatically? Or you have to say Flash (or the Cintiq) that this button on the Cintiq now operates this tool in Flash?

5 questions

Flash and Cintiq work well together - and easily?

Question 6

Do I need a monitor to be able to use Flash with the Cintiq? Or maybe a Mac Mini is a suitable computer - with the Cintiq acting as monitor? Steve never use this configuration as a computer. It will handle the Cintiq as a canvas on which to draw and paint.

Thanks in advance for any response.

Hi guy,

I thought I was the only integer which was old enough to have worked on the big screen multi-image slideshows!

Flash can be the right product for you and Steve. I use Flash with an Intuos 4 Tablet and it works fine. What you want to do is to search the Flash forums for Cintiq references. There may be some issues that affect your intended use, or it can function exactly as you wish. Important to work with any Wacom product is to make sure that you use the latest drivers for the Wacom product.

If you choose to use a mac mini, get a new one, one that can use a lot of memory, you will need.

You can export files Flash video in most any type of file and compression is installed on the computer. So, if you use a Mac, install Quicktime Pro and you should have everything you need.

I've never heard of or used Synfig Studio, so I can't comment on that.

Flash paint tools are different from Photoshop and more similar to Illustrator. You'll have all the flexibility of the Cintiq to control the effects of paint, it will take a little practice, but you should be able to get the effect you describe.

I hope this helps in your decision.

    I think that I have found a workaround. It seems that the Touch Strip can be programmed to accept a combination of keys to drag to the top and another sequence of keys to slide down. Who would have thought!

    Customize your setting Touch Strip in the Wacom preferences window, as below. Define one (or all if you prefer) functions "Strike."... "in the menu dropdown. The functions settings panel will come down.

    1. tap inside the top box (next to the white arrow up) with your stylus to select. Then on your keyboard pressed key command key and press the = (equal sign).

    2. Select the bottom box (next to the white arrow down) to select. Then on your keyboard pressed key command key and press-(minus) key.

  • Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 + bug Flash Adobe ~ brush "jumps" on screen during the development

    Equipment - Wacom Cintiq supplementary 2

    Software - Adobe Flash CC 2015 (as well as 2014 and CS6... same bug replicated)

    Drivers - Wacom 6.3.11 - 4 ~ ~ ~ and Intel Iris Graphics 6100 version 10.18.14.4170

    OS - Windows 8.1

    Let me start by saying 2 things:

    1. I've seen other posts similar to this issue, but often they resolve themselves by having disconnected and reconnected the cintiq or intuos in the computer. Given that the roommate of Wacom Cintiq is a stand-alone tablet computer running Windows 8 (.1), is not an option

    2 spoiler alert... I have a solution for the symptom: change the text in the 'small 100%.' The problem, as I will describe below, is that it is a workaround for the symptom, and it does not solve the bug itself.

    First... the question. In the image below, '1 2 3' on the left was drawn with Wacom pen using the Brush tool. '1 2 3' in the top-middle has been designed with my finger on the touch screen of the Companion 2. The lines right are actually 'points' that I did with the pen that jump radially out of a given time in the top right of the screen.

    flashcc2015.jpg

    Second... the 'solution '. Change the display of the scale 'Small 100% ' (located in the control panel > hardware and audio > display...) Notice the orange arrow). I have attached an image with the parameter as seen in point 8.1 of Windows (see below). Now, it will solve the problem of the tip of pen jump away from the position of the real pencil.

    Flashcc2015solution.jpg

    Third... Here's my problem. The Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 HD display is 2560 x 1440. The default setting for Windows 8 for this tablet has a text value scaling of 175%. The high screen resolution allows more work space real estate within Flash and windows of text scaling allows me to be able to read words and see the icons without forcing (because the actual size of the screen itself is relatively low compared to its resolution capabilities). After this "difficulty", so actually nothing appears on the screen, I need to lower the resolution of the tablet to the most 1920 x 1080 (meaning with scaling to 100%, yet the text is quite small, but it's a compromise to keep some of these program workspace real estate mentioned previously).

    I was encouraged to do this post, so it could be a quick response to the immediate symptom of the brush jumping bug, leaving people less able to do their work without a break and ALSO so that we can go beyond to know if there is a more permanent solution to the problem. NOTE: Photoshop works like a dream. This is only a Flash issue (for me).

    Finally, here are some details of troubleshooting, I already went through that does nothing to solve the underlying problem:

    -all drivers have been updated

    -the most recent version of Flash has been downloaded

    -Flash has been uninstalled (properties of withdrawal) and reinstalled

    Wacom - driver has been uninstalled and reinstalled

    Wacom user properties - were removed and re-configured

    -Ink Windows has been disabled (which disables the pressure sensitivity) and recontroler

    -Press- and - hold right-click has been disabled in Windows Tablet properties

    -Shortcuts have been disabled in Windows Tablet properties

    ... There is more (like resetting windows at the factory and the resettlement without updating the drivers) also has nothing, but these are the most relevant elements. I was told that Adobe was aware of the problem and that it would be resolved. My goal is to discover a possible ETA on this difficulty and how it might come on (updated internal Flash? Layout workaround in Windows?) ... or, better yet, if it already exists! Like many people, Flash is the main program I use for work and I travel a lot (where the Wacom Cintiq purchase additional 2). This is a bug quite important that I would like to see resolved, if there is not yet, or answered here so she a. thanks team!

    UPDATE for WINDOWS 10

    To recap: I mentioned in the original post I made above that the bug Flash jump at the heart of this message seems to be caused by a scaling function in Windows. This feature exists because of situations like mine where I own a portable tablet (Wacom Cintiq Companion 2) with a physical screen size relatively small, but the high resolution capability. High resolution is good because computing means that signs Flash will take up less screen real estate, allowing more space for work/workshop space. However, high resolution on a small screen also means that things like icons and the text of the window are very small and difficult to read. That's what the functionality of scaling in Windows has compensation for... but it also caused a problem with the brush (see images/posts earlier).

    (Apparently) there is a new feature in Windows 10 which allows you to increase the TEXT size without scaling of all the features of display (such as icons).

    * Now I'm able to put my small screen of the actual size of a high-resolution AND can't read the text in things like menus and icons without the jump bug.* *.

    I hope this helps some of you out there with this similar problem. Remember, no matter what you do... Make sure that the scale is set to "Smaller - 100%" as I did in the original post. Happy drawing!

  • Wacom Cintiq to the brush size adjustments does not

    Hello!

    I just bought a Wacom Cintiq 13HD touch and I can't brush shortcuts adaptation to work. After some googling, I understand the problem is that I don't have an English keyboard and shortcut keys the Tablet uses are the ' [' and ']' key that does not exist on my Swedish keyboard. These characters you get by 'Alt' + '8' / '9'. I tried to reconfigure the shortcuts of these combinations in the Wacom configuration application, but that didn't work either. In fact these combinations does not work on my keyboard either. I can't find any solution to this other than to change English keyboard, I don't want to do. And as the screen is small, it is essential to be able to easily change the size of the brush. Using the cursor is not very easy. Any ideas?

  • Adobe Animate: Size of layout change on Wacom Cintiq 13hd

    Hello.

    So I decided to start using Adobe animate recently and one of the first things I noticed is that everything seems a lot bigger and more amplified whenever I have my Cintiq hooked up compared to when it is not.

    For example the two pictures below.

    before.JPG

    This is what it looks like when I don't have my Cintiq hooked.

    after.JPG

    When I decide to plug my Cintiq in everything suddenly becomes a lot bigger.

    I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but I know that it does not occur with Adobe Photoshop so I hope someone has a solution to this problem.

    I use Windows 10 and a Wacom Cintiq 13hd.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you go to the Windows display settings (right-click the desktop you may), there is a parameter of the scale to 100% by default, but with the connected Tablet it can use another value. Try setting that 100%.

  • Photoshop loses focus on the Cintiq 22HD

    I use a Cintiq 22HD on Windows PC well had this problem on Mac too.

    I'll be using the Cintiq and switch regularly between tools with shortcuts keyboard then all suddenly, he will lose the focus and I have to start spamming the mouse to put emphasis on the PS. Windows will do just the sound effect 'boing' home until what it's... very annoying

    This happens often when I leave (I) pipette to hand (waiting room) tool to move the box drawing, or back to the brush (B), but maybe it's because they have common tools that I use.

    I have recently switched to Windows but had the same problem on Mac with my Cintiq.

    Both updates of ch & Cintiq driver.

    I searched the forums, but nothing specific to the Cintiq (except an old answer to a very old post I made was not specific Cintiq)

    Would it be possible for you to create a video of the same if it's happening now every time that you use these tools?

    When I pressed 'w' instead of select the magic wand tool, (the usual shortcut within the PS canvas) he opened unrolling menu bar 'Window' within the PS at the top instead, if focus left the canvas and went to the menu bar.

    This might happen if you press Option/Alt on your keyboard when you use this shortcut, as Alt + W is supposed to open the drop-down menu bar.

    This also happens if you disconnect the tablet (Cintiq)?

  • many non-visible controls on Wacom Cintiq complementary 2 improved

    We tried earlier today character animator (Preview 1 (x 650) on a Wacom Cintiq complementary 2 improved and many controls are not visible. For example, the transport under the main view controls have completely disappeared. The button still ask and other camera controls are not visible in the port of camera view, but if I almost completely reduce the window by dragging the lower edge upward, the controls of the camera starts to creep up. But of course then the video could be completely hidden. Is this a known bug then running on the computer Tablet Wacom CC2 CA?

    The Cintiq Companion 2 is a Core i7 3.1 GHz with 16 GB RAM and Intel Iris Graphics 6100. It is running Windows Pro 8.1.

    We got that it runs correctly on an old HP tm2 tablet PC. It is a pretty old computer but then slowly ran a little software to be useful. The tm2 is Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and ATI Radeon HD 4550. It runs on Windows 7 Pro.

    We will try out on one of our workstations a little later.

But all of a sudden the documents, I work in a wink from the above menu bar and I can't go back there. It covers only 2/3 of the cintiq.

  • Having major compatibility issues with Adobe, Mac Yosemite and Wacom Cintiq programs companion hybrid.

    Since I upgraded my Mac iOS Yosemite, my Adobe CS6 programs do not work well at all. They start very well, but the menu windows acting weird, often forcing me by dint leave whenever I try to do something. I downloaded programs CC trials and some may work better for me, but most have similar problems when I try to use on the Wacom. I'll explain my setup, and exactly what is happening...

    I own an iMac end 2012 model (the one without the cd player) and a Wacom Cintiq hybrid companion that I use as a secondary display design. The screen Wacom is under my iMac in the settings screen, since my Wacom rest below the iMac screen. Think Nintendo DS... like how the lower screen is touch screen... same deal here.

    When I open Photoshop CS6, CS6 Illustrator or even Illustrator CC and move them on my Wacom screen, the 'new' window is aligned with the top of the screen, cutting off buttons and options I need. I can't reposition the window because the upper part is necessary to move it. In the case of the window 'opens', it does not at all appear, but it blocks my program. It is as if he wants me to cancel the open window, but the window is not on any screen. That's when I have to force quit. I also noticed that sometimes it seems you have a 3rd office every time I enter the mission control afterwards. I have no idea why this is so.

    The only option that I know to get around these problems is to put my screen on the mirror and mirror of the iMac screen mode, but not only I have to go into settings and recalibrate my pen, whenever I want to use these programs, but it's a major drawback when I fight for space on my screen since I was only 1 working with this mode. And just to be clear that CC Photoshop works perfectly for me. No compatibility issues he Fortunately, but if it works well with my setup, then why don't the others. Worse yet, I don't know who is at fault... What is an Adobe problem, a problem of Yosemite or a problem of Wacom... I do not know.

    Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to the 'default' permissions that need to be changed

  • Consider purchase of Wacom Cintiq 27 HD Touch - Questions about the tactile feature in Photoshop and Lightroom

    I'm considering buying a 27 HD Touch of Wacom Cintiq monitor. I have a few questions about the two programs Adobe and their use of the 'touch' feature - Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5.7 running on Windows 7.

    1 problems related to touch a feature in Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 and 5 resolved that you see on the forums of Wacom a year ago?

    2. If so, is there sufficient value gained through the tactile feature in Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 to justify the $500 price difference between the Cintiq 27 HD vs Touch HD? (I realize that this is a subjective question based on the abundance of its cash).

    3. I intend to stay with CS6 as long as possible to avoid a monthly subscription, BUT I wonder if buy the Touch HD can provide additional key features in future releases of these products that do not exist currently. (It is a pie in the kind of sky in question).

    Thank you!

    Support for Photoshop Touch is added by CC 2014.2.2.  However as the Pro Intuos Wacom tablets with touch can be used with earlier versions of Photoshop and the Wacom Tablets Configurator can custom features can be used with Photoshop touch tablets.  I use LR but I don't know that the same thing would be true for her. You can configure the setting for many applications. The device driver knows which application its interfacing with and uses the parameter set for each...

    I have disable most of touch when using Photoshop.  The main reason why I have a Tablet is Photoshop Brush tools. Like Eraser, clone stamp, etc, nothing is better then a pen when it come to create the layer mask.  For most programs, I always use a mouse and I use the keyboard, the mouse and the pen with Photoshop...

    I never wanted a Cintig I do not have my hand between my eyes and the work. I'm not an artist.
