How flat Animation - ball and String?

Hey there,

I created a base-ball, flat shape in Illustrator (just an oval and a triangle) and plan to import into After Effects. The ball will be moving upward (straight line) and I intend to add a string with a very slight tremor.

Then, I thought that the best way to add the string would be to create a thin rectangle shape in After Effects itself.

How do I fix this chain on the ball and animate it? It would be using the puppet tool? As well as an effect of earthquake?

Thanks for the tips!

You used the string to the ToolTip with parents or you will put both the chain and ball in the shape layer. I probably wouldn't use corner puppet to animate the chain. I'll explain why later. I would use a rectangle for the chain, I would use the pen tool to draw an open path of contours.

Once you have the selected path, you can add a host of form by clicking on the button Add and add a Wiggle the path that you use to string.

If the ball and chain are separated layers parent just them. If they are both on the same layer, you must make sure that the Wiggle modifier only applies to the string. Then just animate the position of the string.

To learn more about animation forms type shape layers in the search help field at the top right of EI and learn about the resources of the community. You will find information much better YouTube search for help.

The reason I would not use puppet PIN as my first choice is that you can use any of the controls transform on a layer with puppet pin applied and the mesh must be dense enough to animate a string. If you do not want puppet pin allows to create an organic movement of the chain by recording your movements, you'd then have to dial all attributes before the puppets moving pin layer to the new layer then parent the layer spindle of nested balloon puppets and animate the position of the parent.

One last thing. If you want an animation of rotation in the bubble, it would be a good idea to move the anchor Point of the layer ball at the bottom of the work, or you could use a null value as a parent for the ball and chain and position the anchor point of the null where you want the center of rotation.

  • How to move the ball and chain together?

    I created a bunch of balloons 3D and applied the preset wiggle individually to each ball. The strings are also different with each of the others that I have related to the respective ball but cannot work out how to apply for balloon wiggle and channel "move together". At the point where the ball moves in a direction and strings in another even if they have the same settings.

    Could someone please advise how to do the ball and chain squirm together?

    I did this after intro animation effects and it was made entirely from photoshop files and my comp in AE settings is HDV 1920 x 1080 square pixels 25,.

    Then they asked me out of the movie at 1920 X 1080 MPEG H.264 NTSC 29.97 progressive, someone has an idea how?

    1. to adjust for NTSC composition without affecting the report l / h.

    2 - this film must be rendered in RGB + ALPHA, and yet the mpeg does not support this definition, it seems that the record will be in the video codec animation or other.

    I am bit confused if I need to adjust the model, or leave it and set the video codec only.

    Thank you

    If you have (or get) MPEG Streamclip, which is free, you can open the anamorphic clip and resize it to 1080 true. You will be able to choose H.264 as a codec. It will be if necessary deinterlacing. Suppose that the MPEG card is a MP4 container.

    Good luck.

  • rounded buttons by default? How to make square and flat buttons?

    I'm creating a mobile application on Dreamweaver CS6. Each type of button, I tried all the rounded corners and drop shadow default. I want to make buttons square and flat. I tried all of the following methods:

    < input type = "button" / >

    < button > < / button >

    < a href = "~" > < / a >

    < a class = "button" href = "#AccommodationPage" data-role = "button" > accommodations < /a > (mobile insert Jquery)

    All of these methods show a round button in Dreamweaver CS6 direct mode by default and show also like rounding by default when I connect phone Gap to my Dreamweaver and upload app on my android device. Can anyone offer advice on how I can make my buttons square and flat? I played with the CSS to try to intentionally square, and I tried to use no css at all, because to my knowledge when you insert buttons, they should be square and flat by default and you must change, and dropshadow border radius properties to give effects that Dreamweaver uses by default.

    I thought about it, Jquery mobile has a problem where it's all buttons in dreamweaver rounded, so you must put$('a').buttonMarkup({ corners: false }); to make them square

    keimanzero,

    Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
    First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

    Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
    Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

    Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

    Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
    2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

    If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

    Hello!

    «"" You're almost here!»»»

    I see that in these two sprites (upSkin and downSkin), the color is black (0x000000) so you will not see the change.

    In addition, there is no function setSkin (at least it is not in the latest version of the SDK). So, I used sprites as a backdrop. In the service of the State (that you evaluate correctly), you must add the upSkin sprite when the State is in PLACE (by default) and also you must change for downSkin when the State of the cell is out of SERVICE.

    Something like this:

    override public function set state(value:String):void
    {
        super.state = value;
        if(value=="up")
        {                 upSkin = new Sprite();                 upSkin.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);                 upSkin.graphics.drawRect(0,0,768, 100);                 upSkin.graphics.endFill();                 upSkin.alpha = 1;                 addChild(upSkin);
            }        else if(value=="down")        {                 downSkin = new Sprite();
             downSkin.graphics.beginFill(0x01A8DF);
             downSkin.graphics.drawRect(0,0,768, 100);
             downSkin.graphics.endFill();
             downSkin.alpha = 1;                 addChild(downSkin);       }}
    

    In this way, you will see the background color change when you select a cell in the list.

    I hope it will work for you.

  • How to publish HTML5 and integrate in Web site

    I decided to quit using my old HTML5 animation tool and to switch to Adobe animate, but I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to post then take it and integrate it into my site.

    I see the head content and changed links to CBC scripts so that they are now related to my site.

    And I see the canvas with id = "canvas" tag, but when I insert my site, I get an empty box where the content is supposed to be.

    If I load the original HTML file Animate exports, everything works fine.

    What Miss me?

    This isn't a problem, you can configure a local server without internet connection and use it.

    Download the Server binary Mongoose from here: Cesanta products: Mongoose Server. Place Mongoose.exe in the same location as your output published and double-click it to start the server.

    Now click on your HTML project and it should work just fine.

    Another alternative is to disable the option "Combine images like spritesheets" in the publication before you publish settings. There will be no generated in this case JSON, and you can simply run the project locally by double clicking on it.

    You can also try projector export which is what is generally used for kiosk interfaces.

    PS: The projector option is available through the publication settings and applicable only for AS3 based documents.

  • How can I find and replace the xml tags?

    Hi, I am using xml in my workflow and want to be able to remove some tags if they contained particular text.

    Here is an example of the xml struct...

    < Entry >

    < name > DEFAULT < / name >

    < such > default < / such >

    DEFAULT < address > < / address >

    < / Entry >

    I use this initial structure to define paragraph styles to follow when you import the xml data.

    This leaves DEFAULT in place everywhere where an entry is not any content of this field.

    I want to be able to import my XML and then run a script that deletes tags that include by DEFAULT, - I need to the xml tag to remove not only the text, if I do a normal find and replace will remove only the text not the tags that is causing problems with style. I also want to remove the end of para/return (^ p) that I placed at the end of the line. So it would be the same opening editor mode and removing content, tags + hard back in there, but I want to automate the process...

    So I think that's what I'm looking for in each case

    "< name > DEFAULT < / name > ^ p.

    and I want to replace it with nothing.

    Is this possible in a script (ideally javascript)?

    I have a little knowledge of javascript, but don't know how to search for and target this kind of string in indesign...

    using indesign cs5

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Script should do it in two steps:

    1 find all occurrences of that is ' > by DEFAULT.<>

    2 delete the whole paragraph which is a found_text container.

    For example, in this way - JS - (a textFrame filled your text must be selected):

    var mStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
    app.findTextPreferences =  null;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = ">DEFAULT<";
    var myF = mStory.findText();
    var count = myF.length;
    while (count--)
         myF[count].paragraphs[0].remove();

  • How can I open and manipulate files (convert?) a database created on a PC with Corel Paradox 9 on my iMac?

    Hello again once, someone can tell me how I can open and manipulate (convert to Excel?) a database file created on a PC with 9 of paradox to Corel on my iMac?  The answer would be as simple as buying the paradox for Mac?  I don't even know if Paradox is offered for an environment of Apple but if so that could be the way for me to go there, otherwise, I guess that the only other way to use the database would be to convert it to Excel.  Thank you.

    Tony

    Try to export the program PC CSV file or a tab-delimited text files. Both can be imported into Excel and other DB programs. I don't know what kind of Paradox file format uses, but you can try its importation to the module of data in Free agency. It's a free app.

  • How do I remove and store the old app apple ID

    I am currenty using a new created apple ID and everything is OK. However, when I try to update applications on the app store asks me a password of a previous user. How can I delete and add my account instead?

    You must delete and re-download these applications; the other Apple ID is stored inside of them.

    If they have been uploaded by someone who already owned the computer, you must erase from his internal drive and install a new OS.
