Hide a shape without the mask animation layer.

I'm trying to hide a part of a shape layer without the mask, with the shape animation. Normally in this case I create a solid layer above and subtract, but this does not seem to work with layers of form... only images and text layers. If anyone has any ideas on how to do it, I'm all ears.

If I understand you wanting to hide a part of a shape with a layer mask, you can do so by activating the tool creates mask button.

You can also create a cache alpha above your bed as any other layer in Ae.

or even with a shape itself by adding the path or the group under your path or a group a path defined at the intersection point merge operation

    Looks like your mask has too many paths of access or summits. Try to turn on caps lock shift before you open the ASP (project file) or before you launch AE. If this does not clear your Cache and preferences. If this does not resolve the problem, we need workflow details that let you to this error.

  • How to move the mask without the masking area who created

    Im trying to place a box of masking to a certain place where he hides a fraction of an object (myRainBow) and then move the mask without moving the masking area. But the code I did exactly the opposite-> he moves the area of masking with the mask itself.

    My problem in other words:

    I have a nice image, but I want to move the image to a different location on my living room wall. So where I have move the image (at the top, left corner, bottom corner to the Center, etc.) it (the content of the image itself) won't change, only its location of the image in my living room.

    How do with the as3 code, cause I have so far only this and it does not have what I want it to do

    The way you describe moving the mask without moving the mask area is not clear, but if your description to move something on the wall, then you have probably just to add the image of the Rainbow and the mask in the same container object and assign slide it / drop in this container.  From what I can make of your code, you just put the mask inside a container and moving from this container.  Try to put this first container inside another breadsticks and the Rainbow and assign the drag / drop to the second.

  • Creating simple shapes without the wizard

    Hi all.

    I've been hitting my head against the proverbial wall for days trying to find a way to do something that is probably very simple.

    First of all, my features. I work in Acrobat X on a Windows 7 PC. My forms were created in InDesign CS5.5.

    I'm working on the creation of a couple of forms for our sales team to deliver to our customers. We would like to see the forms digitally to fill, recordable and printable for users with reader. I know it's all doable with extended rights. No biggie.

    My problem is I want to use the submission tools automatically integrated in the Acrobat forms Wizard. I'm not at all a "submit" button. Our workflow desired is that our customers complete the form and then either print sign and deliver via mail or by fax (a form requires a signature, and our customers aren't saavy enough to use digital signatures) or for forms that do not require signatures, fill, save, and email back to us manually. All is well with the form design process, except that as soon as I use the forms tools in Acrobat to fine-tune my form, it adds functionality to submit the form to my PDF (the dreaded purple bar). I don't even have to distribute the form for this purpose. It seems to be applied as soon as I use all forms of editing tools.

    So my question is how can I change my form so that it is functional without the button submit the form applied? I did several searches on these forums and related issues found, but have not found a solution that will help me here. I have LC and am ready to dive in there, if that's what is required, but it would take a bit of research on my part because I've never used.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Michelle

    I see what you're saying. Note the Send button in the document message bar purple forms should appear for a form not distributed when you image previewed in form editing mode. It will appear not for users who fill out your form, or when you exit the form editing mode.

  • How can I get my mask path to show instead of the mask shape dialog box?

    Hello

    I've recently updated to AE CS6 and to see why can't get my mask path to show. I want to create a simple mask that drives from point A to point B, thus revealing an object in my composition slowly. In CS5, all I had to do was click on the mask path Stop Watch and the yellow mask with spikes of pen and Bezier handles appear around my object. I could then create another keyframe and change the shape of the mask with my pen/selection tool that will create the desired effect. However, in CS6 when I add a mask to my object and click on the stopwatch for mask path mask yellow appears.

    You probably have the visibility of the mask off in the comp window.  Turn it back on again.

  • Remove the mask before entering the data in the database?

    Hello!

    Hey guys, I'm with the following problem, I am using plugin 'text with hidden Input field', works perfectly in a deal to add the mask, but I have a problem saving the data in the database, I need to record data only, without the mask at all, no idea how to do this, a dynamic of action? What would be the best way to go, and if they have advice on how to make would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    Hello!

    I would like to share with you that I found the solution to remove the mask before you update the database, I share case someone needs and evaluation of teachers is the best solution, I did the following creates a "process after Submit" before performing the "LMD" process, removing the masks as replace, just below my code is pretty simple as I said, my point in this case decided, as I have said I would like that assessment of you as possible to see if others have better enforcement solutions!

    : P33_NR_CEP: = replace (: P33_NR_CEP,'-', ");

    : P33_NR_TELEFONE: = replace (replace (replace (: P33_NR_TELEFONE, '(', ''), ')', "),'' ', ',");

  • How to replace a layer that has a mask applied without affecting the mask?

    I have a layer with a photo.  I animated a mask to this layer, but now the client wants the picture replaced by another.  When I add a new photo in a new layer and copy the properties of the good work the mask layer mask lands in a different location than the original.  I tried to make a replacement of the images with the source photo try to make the new photo but the same results, the mask always gets repositioned.

    How can I replace an image on a layer that has a mask run on it by another without affecting the mask?

    Thank you

    Steve

    If they are of different sizes, use the old layer as a track matte for the new.

  • Layer of mask works not not in PS CC 2015.2, when the mask is selected and that you paint on the mask he erases the photo thanking hide. I have reset my preferences and my brush tool. Don't know what to do next.

    So, I hope someone can help me solve this problem. I didn't have a problem before the last update. It is composed of my workflow because I use a lot of masking.

    Thank you

    I think you have confused yourself Marcia HERE with a non-existent problem. You say that 'you have enabled other layers off when I saw that in the image the part hidden image showed always the part of the image, I've hidden". It would be nice if the lower layer is exactly the same as the masked layer? You talk as if you know what you're doing, but just in case:

  • Convert a path in the shape of a mask path

    It is a question that has been requested before, but as far as I know, has not received a satisfactory answer.

    So I have a rectangle that I made in a shape layer, and I want to it by using the effect of the race, because I need the form to scale, and I found that the scales from the standard race in a shape layer when you turn the STROKE layer

    But with him being a shape path and a parametric shape path that I can't copy/paste this shape as a mask.

    At this point, @Todd_Kopriva

    usually appears to copy and paste the following text:



    "command to convert a path of the parametric form of a Bezier curve layer:

    You can convert a path of a Bézier path after the path has already been created by context-click (right-click or control-click on Mac OS) the Group of properties for the path (for example, the Rectangle drawn 1) and choosing convert Bézier path command in the context menu. If the path is animated (retouching), converted Bézier path is a static path based on the way at the present time; keyframes are lost. »

    Who indeed converts the path, as far as I can see, but unfortunately this does not seem to help me pass this way in a mask layer

    Any ideas?


    PS someone else has a really weird problem with this forum where you will write a response and everything suddenly find your cursor/Carat jumped a few lines and you type half an answer at the end of a previous line?

    I went through this dozens of times on this forum. To be successful, you need to set a keyframe. Here goes:

    1. Select your shape (Rectangle 1) and right click and select Convert to Bezier path
    2. Open the Rectangle 1 path and set a keyframe
    3. Copy
    4. Select the layer that you want to add a mask of
    5. Choose the pen tool
    6. Click anywhere on the layer to set the first vertex
    7. If you try to put a mask on a shape layer, you must reset the pen tool to create a mask instead of a new form, before setting the first vertex
    8. Dough

    That's all. Works every time. The only problem is that the layer you add the mask must be posted on the default transformation and the shape layer, that you have copied from must also be to default transformations. That and everything works every time.

  • How to move the layer behind the mask?

    Basically I want the text layer is placed behind the mask, but when I try to do the mask moves with the layer, but I want the mask to stay put?

    You can also use a matte, animating the underlying layer and leaving the stationary track matte.

  • In RGB mode, why paste 50% gray in a layer mask actually put K 59% in the mask?

    Create a new (small) document in RGB mode, 8-bit, transparent background.

    Fill the layer 1, resulting with 50% gray, 100% opacity.  The reports = (128,128,128) RGB eyedropper.

    Copy the layer to the Clipboard.

    Create a new layer 2. Fill it with green #00ff00 (content doesn't really count).

    Add a layer mask to the layer 2.

    Wear this mask during installation.

    Paste the contents of the Clipboard.  The pipette noted the content of the mask as K 59%.

    I expect 50% gray (or K 50%). Why have I not 59% K?

    Additives:

    I'm using CS3 on Mac. I didn't get to see if the same thing happens with newer versions of PS.

    Apply the layer mask in the layer 2. Excerpt from the transparency in a new layer.  The pipette gives the RGB of the

    new layer as (106,106,106), with pixel-by-pixel variations plus/minus 1.

    Take the difference between this new layer and layer 1; the pipette gives the RGB difference as (22,22,22),

    Once again with variations of plus/minus 1.

    Paste the contents of the Clipboard into a new layer.  The pipette gives this new RGB content

    layer as (128,128,128), both without and with a black & white adjustment applied.

    Create a new layer, add a layer mask, fill the mask with 50% gray. The pipette gives the content of

    the new title (128,128,128) (now as expected) master.

    The 50% gray used above is just for simplicity. I am really interested in inserting a complicated RGB

    image containing only shades of gray in the layer mask. This example shows that the collage will not

    preserve the levels of gray. Indeed, when I replace the first 50% of grey with a black and white gradient.

    the differences between the initial gradient and in the mask included roughly quadratic between 0 to 0,

    22 128 and 0 to 255.

    It is a grayscale image, interpreted according to your work of gray.

    Use Gray Gamma 2.2 and you will get 50%.

    EDIT: actually I think you could use sGray, who has the accurate sRGB transfer function - which is not strictly a pure gamma. But it wouldn't be right with for example Adobe RGB.

  • Use a text/shape as one mask for another layer Layer

    Hello!

    I can't understand how I can use a text layer or a shape as a mask for the layer below.

    See the attached example and you'll know what I mean. (I created the example with simply by cutting the outline of the text in the white box).

    I need a text mask and I need to be editable as text. Don't know if this is possible, experienced with clipping masks, but I can't get it to work.

  • How to make a vector in a shaper of transparency on a layer rather than in the form of layer?

    I'm working on a drawing that somehow, I created a layer-all blue, which has what looks like a vector mask

    on it, but the vector mask, rather than shape layer, creating transparency in the layer.

    And I don't know how to reproduce this effect!

    Whenever I create a vector mask, it shapes the layer.

    If I take this vector search mask to this layer and try to copy it to another layer - it shapes the layer!

    If I copy him on the original layer - it shapes the original layer...

    So there is something on the vector mask that explains the shape of the layer is all 'outside' of the vector.

    How in hell!  The "swap" button isn't available when you go in "masks" and look at the vector masks.

    So, how I recreate this type of transparency mask?  It drives me crazy, because there is - as I want, but I can't

    reproduce it!  I tried dup'ing mixture on the layer settings - but they don't seem to have an effect.

    Ideas?

    With the active shape layer, select the path Selection tool, select

    the path in the document by clicking somewhere in the path

    or by dragging around the way access and then try clicking on the different shape

    boxes of box in the tool options bar.

    Salvation;

    For some reason, this doesn't seem to work. The link icon appears between the layer and the mask icon, but when I try to move them around together, either the layer or the mask moves that one I selected.

    I've used it before now, it doesn't seem to work. I'm using CS5.

    You know what. It's working now. As I said in my original post I had the icon showing, but he was not linking; do not know why. Sorry to bother you.
