How to add a transparent gradient fill or 50% to a .ai imported path?

Hello all;

I need help. My task sounds simple enough but do not know how to accomplish it.

I created the following path in Illustrator (see image - the top one). Actually, it is a graph of the lower third.

I managed to importating in .ai. However, should I use a solid or a layer of shape or it doesn't matter?

I can add a stroke that affects the color and the thickness of the outlines OK.

However, I can't understand how to add a gradient fill, or one that is 50% transparent? Can anyone help?

Oh... I will mention that I use After Effects CS3.

Thank you.

Tim

Looks like you're a real novice in Illustrator. I create the entire work in Illustrator and import the AI as a composition. Put each item on a separate layer.

Take your form and complete with a gradient. Check the appearance and adjust the opacity. Duplicate the shape and caress the first Folio and remove the gradient. Adjust the opacity of the stroke (if you wish) using appearance.

If you don't know how to make this go a Google search for Assembly of the Illustrator Gradients. You can take a look at this Basic Intro to the Illustrator Gradients to Layers Magazine.

  • How to create a transparent gradient?

    I use Photoshop Elements 8.  This could have a very simple answer, but I can't understand it.  I'm trying to take a layer and simply get a solid image to a transparent gradient, while it disappears gradually.  It's hard to explain, but I hope you understand.  Please let me know if you know how to do this.  Thanks to a bouquet.

    It would look somewhat like this:

    IIIIIIIIII IIII II I I I I

    IIIIIIIIII IIII II I I I I

    IIIIIIIIII IIII II I I I I

    ^                                      ^

    Solid picture

    Part of gradually

    Picture disappears

    If that makes sense.

    Is that what you are looking for?  I used the method of Group of clipping that mentioned Terri.

    1 added an empty layer below the photo layer and grouped the 2 layers.

    2 set the gradient options: linear, to the first plan of Transparent

    3. calls on the gradient of approximately 1/4 from the edge left completely to the right edge.

    You can continue to draw the gradient with different staart and endpoints until you get the desired result. Just a matter of trial and error.

    I added the white layer so that you can see the results.

  • How to add a color gradient to an image

    Hello

    The first picture has a black gradient on the left and right sides. The image was not big enough for the canvas so the gradient has been added to fill. I can't understand how this was done.

    The second photo, I would do the same thing.

    Hello!

    Try to find a way to add a shadow rasterized to this real pyramid (which is not 3D but a few lines in 2D.) I need raster since the drawing is a document of the e-book later in print.

    Pyramid with shadow 1.png

    The shade should look somewhat like this:

    I have 2 questions:

    (1) how to get rid of the rectangular frame of the shade? It seems possible to move back behind the doesn´t pyramid.
    (2) what solution to use to put the frame in grey shadow?

    You must put the shadow on the background layer and then move it way back. Use the layer panel so you can see the stacking order of objects.

  • How to add Contacts to a shared list/Contact Group of Data Import

    Hello

    Is it possible to add contacts imported using an Import of data to a specific shared list or the contact group? I see that I can do that when I download contacts from Contacts-> download of Contacts, but I don't see a way to do this with a Data Import.

    Thanks for any help,

    Autosynchs in E10 only supports synchronization from a CRM system, or some other very specific sources such as Omniture Remarketing segments. FTP (or SFTP) autosynchs unfortunately is possible to create. Creation of an Autosynch done now under Setup - integration, Inbound, Data Sources - create a new Data Source with the external call. This wizard, as long as your data source is a CRM system, you will create an autosynch at the end.

    However, for your specific use case, this unfortunately will not work. However, to do this, here's what I recommend:

    (1) put in place as usual, importing data

    (2) on the imported file, create a new field in the field with a specific value, something like Source of lead and make the specific value you can filter that these contacts (thus, for example, lead Source = import SFTP).

    (3) create a shared filter to find contacts with your specific value (in this example, the importation of SFTP)

    (4) your filter shared as a charger for a generator program to program to use.

    (5) in this program, click the add to no program of Contact Group to add them to your shared list.

    Its a bit of a work-around, but the only way I think it would be possible at the moment.

    Hello

    I use Fireworks CS4. I have to remove music stave logo on the left of this image in the header, but it's over the gradient fill.

    header.jpg

    I have no access to the original images. I thought that I could do with the stamp tool, but I can't get the colors to match. Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    In fact, I don't know why I don't think first of this approach:

    1. With the selection tool, select an area of the gradient to be your "source of duplication."
    2. Copy (command-C) and paste (command-V) as the selection of a new bitmap.
    3. Use the arrow keys to position the image horizontally and vertically, following the angle of the gradient. (Hold SHIFT to move larger increments.)
    4. Copy the 'clone' and reposition to cover more of the undesirable object. And keep repeating.

    It's just a start, but it should get you close. You will probably need to clone at least one more large surface and can try feathered or masking, as well. In addition, to better see how the clone is blending with the background image, choose View > hide edges. (This disables the blue border around the selected object.)

  • How to create a uniform gradient w / Soft Edge & filter

    FaqHeader2.png

    Hello, Im using photoshop 6 and Im trying to apply an effect to a photo of the banner, which will be compatible for more pictures of the banner of the same size.

    I have attached a picture of this.


    As you can see the gradient (which contains the text) starts with a gray and then white. The right edge that meets the blue sky is not a hard edge but rather a soft edge.


    I'm not sure how to create that soft edge. Someone else had mentioned to use the gradient with colors of gray to white then to transparent to create this right edge soft.  I'm not sure how to implement that.

    I used a brush in this case, and as you can see, the line is uneven.


    Also, I think that the filter used here is ripple or Ocean Ripple.

    I was hoping if someone could guide me through what would be the correct steps to create this effect, so that I can use systematically for several photos

    Oh, I see, 6 PS. The pieces here on the layers of filling and the Layer Styles does not apply, but mounting method is the same:

    ---------------------------------------------------

    First, open the gradient editor by clicking on the gradient in the toolbar of the dialog for a gradient fill layer or options:

    Set up a gradient of gray and white, then add a transparent stop just not the white judgment:

    Enter a name and click "New" to save him. You can also save as part of a layer with Gradient Overlay Style.

  • How to add sunrise as revelation of the scene

    Fairly new to Motion so looking for an approach

    I have a simple logo (it looks like a Sun) moving on the lower left display to around a mid point upward and a third from the left edge. The right side of the scene is text.

    I would start with a black screen and then reveal the text and background, as the sun rises, with passing arc at the bottom left to cover the entire Stadium...

    I tried just to add a rectangle, which is black with the transition to transparent gradient, then move across the stage... She has a straight line for the transition between black and transparent, with a few feathers... Close again not what I'm looking for.

    I tried to use a circle to cut off a bite of a rectangle for the entry of 'the arc of light' Sun, then move this arc across the stage to reveal black to transparent, yet not able to sort out how to scramble the transition of the circle surface of the rectangle.

    So, what's a way to create the lighting of the scene, as if the rising sun made enlightenment?

    Ideally, she would like to include the colors of the Sunrise - pink soft red glow... see how the sky moves from the darkness of the night in the full light of day... where the landscape is the image of the text and background on the stage.

    Any ideas how to make this happen?

    Thank you

    Fred

    Use a light object (or several lights). Object Menu > new light (command-shift-L).

    Note * using lights requires a 3D project. You will be asked to convert 2D, if that's where you started. IF you have a background that you do not want to "react" to the camera angles, you can change the type of group in 2D (either the Inspector's group in the list of layers by clicking on the "Stacked Rectangles" icon at the right edge of the column that will toggle between 2D and 3D.)

    If you use a type of spotlight, you can set the cone and blurred. You can also color the light. You can keyframe the position to animate it through your scene. You can keyframe the intensity to simulate the change from dark to light, etc...  If your logo is separated from the background, you can also add shadows. I recommend turning the opacity to about 30 and the sweetness up to about 20... but these parameters depend on the obscurity of your background items.

    Lights to create a whole new world...

    *******************

    48% gray half-cirlcle, character logo color gold (specially designed fonts) in 3D. Light = Spot, RGB color [1.0, 0.75, 0.65], = 578% intensity; Options Spotlight: The cone Angle = 4 °, blur = 27 °, diameter is 90.0; default values for the rest;

    Shadows under tension [opacity = 30%; Sweetness = 20; default values]

  • Simple Transparent gradient Question

    How should I do to solid to transparent in a shape layer - for example? Can't seem to find the setting anywhere.

    Thanks for the help,

    PA;

    Do not lose hope immediately, Ray

    Gradient overlay does not show the UI controls for the start and end points... just like in Photoshop, where they would be welcome!

    You get only those in shape layer gradients, I thought you mentioned in your original post.

    Now the show does ramp effect commands on-screen, but it does not support the transparency values in the gradient. So, do not lose your hair looking for people.

    If you use a form, make sure that you click the hot text just to the left of the fill color swatch (that is to say, the yellow 'fill') and change the type of linear or radial gradient fill.

    Shape layers currently offer the most powerful AE degraded creation, since they are specific to the control screen AND the opacity as points of gradient values.

    Let me know if you need more information.

    PS: There is a case that shape layer gradients will not appear on-screen controls - when the gradient fill (or gradient line) is at the root of the hierarchy of shape instead of nested layer within a group (don't worry, you get only this by manually adding a cerebral stroke/gradient fill. In other cases, gradients are automatically nested within groups of form).
