Help with a clipping mask and text!

shadow.png

This was really frustrating me.

Design of this logo at the mo - the circle is a form and the L is just type on a separate layer on top with the same color as the background. What I want, it's to make the cut in the circle so that it is essentially transparent, where I can place on any color background and L will mix it naturally without color cast of 'L' evolving.

Any ideas guys? With the help of CS5. I'd appreciate any help.

Hello

One way is to put your text and circle in a layer set, then together the mix Options: custom to zero fill and Knockout at shallow depth.

The layer that lies directly under the layer group appear throughout the text.

  • help with a clipping mask

    I have this item and I want to add a background behind him with the clipping mask so that nothing shows up outside of my my object (bible). I went through tutorials and that works, but it never works when using this object. Can anyone watch and help with why it doesn't work.

    Here is a link to my file have Dropbox - TestIcon.ai

    Essentially trying to keep the Red inside the mask of the bible, so I can use it on my icopn bar tabe.

    Thank you

    Nick

    I'm still not clear about what you are trying to achieve because there is nothing red in your illustration. But what rcraighead said, I guess that great shape selected in your screenshot is the object that you want to use as your mask and that you want to fill with red and you want to be able to see through the mask to the illustration of the book...

    You'll need duplicate large form and make sure that it is on top of all your other items. Follow the instructions in rcrighead. If you do not want the shadow to be filled with red, do not reproduce them; just put on top.

  • Need help with movie clip display and timer

    I worked on a game in flash for the last couple days and this is my first major game so there was a lot of problems.  For those who have helped so far thanks so much!

    I think that I finally got it with a few exceptions, they are.

    1. the clip that serves as my pop-up window is popping up behind all my mobile icons.  I need over them of course.

    2. I need to find a simple way to stop time while the pop up is in place and to make up the time when she disappears.

    OR

    3. I need to add 5 seconds to the game clock when the user draws a question mark to make it appear as if the clock stopped.

    If someone has an incentive it would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

    This is my code of timer clock to date!

    onClipEvent (enterFrame) {}
    If (_root.time == 30) {}
    _root. TECH = 9;
    _root.intervaln = 30;
    }
    If (_root.time == 10) {}
    _root.intervalz = 10;
    }
    If (_root.time == 0) {}
    _root.gotoAndStop (3);
    }
    }

    1. you should not set any code for an object.  all your code must be attached to frames or in classes.

    2. use swapDepths() to change the depth of a movieclip

    3. There is nothing in your code on a timer.

  • Create a clipping mask and insert multiple Images, forms, blending options

    I am able to do this in Illustrator, but I try to understand how to do this in InDesign.

    In InDesign - after I created a custom shape (clipping mask) with the pen tool I drop an image inside the shape (CMD + D).
    However, I would like to add other forms or images in this clipping mask and set the blending options. How does this in InDesign?

    Thank you!

    1. Draw or make the mask of future cliping as frame
    2. All put together that you want to be in this context.
    3. Group them
    4. Move them to the location you want them finally
    5. Cut them into your editing table
    6. Select the target image

  • Hello need help with the opacity mask.

    Hello need help with the opacity mask. I hope someone out there can help

    I inherited a logo that appears to use a Logo of OM has a shape with a grad. This grad at first sight is not used in the Grad scheme and there is not editable.  Looking at the transparency palette I find an OM (pic1) output option. If I choose what the grad on separates it from the page of the form, that is from there I can change/remove as required (Note2).

    However, sometimes (he did no change), I'll be back to the same original form and output option is grayed out and is no longer available. Or I go to the similar shape that has the same treatment and I can't go out OM (pic3)

    The only difference is the thumbnail in the transparency palette, which is strong in pic1 and rated on pic3. What Miss me?    I'm not clear what the advantage is simply OM using the Grad palette to apply a grad in my form, but until I can get rid of OM who is there, I can't comfortably apply to the grad I want.

    The white gradient LHS I have no problem with. I choose fortunately only and each time get the possibility of release of OM.

    The other thing weird. When I select the white gradient. Sometimes, the exit option is in the palette without going through the drop-down list (Fig 4).

    Other times seems not that OM has already been applied, because the palette gives me the ability to mask rather than liberation (5 photos). Until I go to the drop down and then I find Release is an option after all.

    What is the difference here?   Not much of a problem, because either way I can release OM to be able to change the grad.

    The file is passed through several hands and play anywhere to try to resolve issues, and many stops and save slot, so something along the line was of course done a logo and not the other because of the difference, but I can't for the life of me see what that.

    Dave,

    I've (mis) understanding the issues, you can account for the box to the right in the main palette transparency (called thumbnail) here.

    Illustrator help | Transparency and blending modes

    represents the masking objects.

    Some of your screenshots show no object mask, so it only is not really a mask even if do the opacity mask has been clicked and there seems to be one in the layers palette, wherever you look.

    I think that it is perhaps the issue.

  • Adding stroke to text with a clipping mask

    I want to add a black border around the text, so it enhances the text.

    I made a rectangle and added black text above the rectangle and applied a mask and reversed and cut out the rectangle and the text.

    Illustrator capture 1.jpg

    I tried to release the mask and apply a black line on the text, but when I remask and apply the clipping and reverse the race turns the same color as the text.

    Your comment "applied a mask and reversed and cut out the rectangle and the text" it seems that you use an opacity mask, not a clipping mask. Copy the text (without the mask), stick to the front, remove the fill, add line.

  • Clipping masks and adjustment layers

    If anyone can answer this question quickly I'll be eternally grateful. I'm having a problem with clipping masks does affect the planned layer any background color I have on.

    For example-, I have some letters that I want to apply an adjustment layer map gradient. To only affect the text layer I oscillate between the adjustment layer and the layer to now the Option + click to get the double b + w circles clip.

    When I cut my layer ad, I don't get my purpose. The only way I see the adjustment gradient effect is if I unhook my adjustment layer, but then this affects my ENTIRE background rather than the type.

    Is there a trick to keep the effect of setting without affecting the rest of the layers no matter what background color I have? Setting gradients seem better to work on black only. The problem is that my original document has a red background, so I have TO fix so that the gradient does not affect my red background. But even on a black background, I have to unclip the ad layer to see the effect. It's weird.

    Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean.

    I could flatten my document and retrieve my type with all its splendour of effect and just import it into my original doc, but selecting and extracting type of blur would be a big slap on the head.

    Thank you.

    Test on a black background.

    Something you might try instead to use a clipping mask is a selection of the layer of loading type and then adding a layer of the gradient map.

  • How export a project consisting of 2 video tracks with many clips/effects and 1 stereo audio track so that the project can be worked into another compatible editing system?

    How do I export a project composed of 2 video tracks with many clips/effects more 1 stereo audio followed that project ACR is still worked in a

    When you export, you create a new video file that will have effects applied... in other words, a book finished

    Of course, this video 'complete' may be edited by someone else on another computer... but it SEEMS to me that what you want is for someone to take your editing, continue editing, THEN export a finished video

    Is this correct?

    If so, do some reading in the help file on the Manager project, so you can put your project and all files on an external drive to give to any other person

  • Deformation with a clipping mask

    Hello

    Does anyone know if there is a way to deform a clipping on the mask itself mask? Whenever I'm deforming a clipping mask, the borders of the curvature are on the edges of the work in the mask. And not on the mask itself. Often that it distorts the work adversely.

    Thanks in advance.

    Acidwire,

    To really clip based on a clipping (instead of start) mask, there is the dirty work of destructive, with the selected clipping mask:

    (1) in the drop-down list the palette/Panel transparency list select everything except Normal (Multiply is fine; this step may not be necessary in your version, you can try;

    (2) object > flatten transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% vector.

    (3) thrill.

  • Need help with keyframes for start and stop an effect

    I use a mask and blurred for a few seconds. I understand that I must use keyframes to indicate when to start and stop this effect in the video, so that the same area is not trimmed for video full.

    The problem is, I can't find help by correctly setting the keyframes. When I opened the menu keyframes in the effect, it seems that I must together for both the mask took and the blur effect. I did... to start and stop at specific times, but the rest indeed throughout the video, so of course miss me something by using keyframes. The manual to create effects is not useful. I need assistance with keyframes as what I'm doing is clearly not working. Help!

    If the mask does not move that you don't have to set the keyframe. For the blur, click the stopwatch next to 'bluriness' add keyframes as below, the Reds don't blur and blue those maximum blur this fade effect.

  • Clipping masks and opacity leaving hairline masks light

    I'm running a problem when you use a clipping mask or opacity mask in Illustrator CC 17.1. Either the type of mask leaves a contour slightly around the mask object, creating a noticeable pause in what should be a uniform background. A few details:

    I created a ring in 4 quadrants. Each quadrant contains objects/models which must be isolated from the other. Above the work of each quadrant, I stick it in Place a copy of the form of the quadrant including background colors and stroke are both set to none, the value of race field is empty, is not set to 0. Which meet the same color in the adjacent areas of each quadrant there is a slight balding. These are intended to be transparent, and I don't know why this is happening. When viewing as outlines, all vectors are overlap perfectly in my eyes.

    quadrants1.pngquadrants2.png

    I tried the same thing with simpler forms, as a test and get the same results. In this example of 3 stacked objects, I built forms using form Builder tool (top), mask clipping (the middle one) and mask opacity (bottom):

    mask-test.png

    As you can see, the results are not consistent, but there is certainly some weak lines in each case. The constructor of the form doesn't have a line between black shapes for a reason, but there is a conflict between the colours cyan, where hidden objects stacked meet. At the same time, it is the reverse for the 2 following blocks.

    I read the posts in this forum and others on what is a matter of anti-aliasing, it will not be printed with weak contours, but not all applications of this graph will go to print. I exported files, PDF and various other formats EPS files. I have not noticed any loose in a TIFF file but the library files that I provide to my client will consist of the vector and other raster such as png and jpg files that do not show the low contours. When I place a PDF or EPS in Illustrator or InDesign layout, the hairlines are so that documents sent electronically, unprinted, have these visible lines. They remain also when I place an EPS in Photoshop that is unacceptable for the construction of graphics for the web.

    Can someone tell me if there is a solution to make transitions smoothly between the objects hidden in Illustrator? Or this just an inherent flaw with Illustrator (or maybe my approach to strengthen these graphics)?

    dugost,

    There is nothing wrong in the way you work with masks.

    It is disturbing that you can see the hairlines in a PDF file, png, and JPEG.

    Just to try something that can be stupid: you work in points/pixels, and are the quadrants in integer values (you can see the W and H values in the Transform palette, with integer values for two opposite corner ticked of reference Points and whole)? If this is not the case, what happens if you change to get that?

  • Two questions - a clipping mask and color change in the Group

    Hello

    I have a file I rendered in Maya as a vector. I'm not that great with illustrator, so I was trying to speed things up...

    In any case, it appears all of the files have a clipping mask. If I unrelease, it shows a plain with a similar dimensions that is the original color of the object. See picture for before and after...

    In addition, article even says it's in a group. For this reason, I can't seem to change its color, and the separate button is gray... very confusing.

    Jaredlogprob.jpg

    To group or ungroup, you must first select the art.

    You can do this with a tool of choice or use the layers panel by clicking to the right of the circle of the name of the groups.

    Then disassociate will be available but it is not necessary to separate so deit if you double-click on the group with the selection tool black arrow he'll bring you back in the isolation mode of the group which will allow you to change the group, as if they were individual objects that are separating.

    When you have finished double click anywhere outside the group to leave the isolation mode. You will find this feature will be preventing them from making bald, because you him tear not all outside whenb group edition in complex projects.

    Regarding the change of color as already mention Nedopil > change color > Recolorier Art more or less the same kind of protection mounting which can save you aggravation in the art complex.
