How to use the same mask, stencil, etc for several layers? Photoshop equivalent of the masked group?

Hi I spent over half an hour for search manual, forums and the Internet and still can't find the answer. Help, please!

For example, in a model with 5 or more layers, I want to use the same mask or stencil or what can hide layers 2,3 and 4 but areas layer 5 and all other possible layers below should not be affected.

  1. Before dialing the layers that you want to hide and apply a matte for the demo using the mask. Think to the Dial as an equivalent to the creation of a layer group.
  2. Use the effect on each layer you want to hide. It's easier to do if you apply mast set once and then create an animation preset to apply to the other layers. Just get mast set to do what you want it to do on the first layer, select Set Matte in ECW or in the timeline panel, and then go to the Animation > Save animation preset. Select then all other layers you want to apply the set matte to apply the preset.
  3. Put the mask at the bottom of the layers that you want to hide and turn on the switch to preserve transparency, then this group in composition with other layers of nesting.

Here's another tip. You can set a custom color for all the layers you want to use the mast, then use the custom color for a group selection. This can make things easier down the line.

  • How to use the platform of character even in the same scene several backgrounds without looping the platform of character chronology

    How to use the platform of character even in the same scene several backgrounds without looping chronology of the platform of character? Is it still possible without having to do the scene with another background on another file? To better explain the situation, I have a flash file which has a background and a rig which passes to another context and drilling on another layer and keyframe, but when I go back to the previous background and chronology of this drilling rig repeats, rather than leave, you are doing a new time for this platform. Do I need more than one file?

    In order to reuse assets to animate, you need to duplicate each symbol in the scene who will be the new animation. So, copy and paste the stage on a new layer, right-click on it and select double symbol, then double-click inside the symbol and select each symbol that is going to change, so that the background and the rigging and also select symbol duplicated for those files as well. usually, when I animation I do not use the main platform in the scenes, duplicate as 'Guy1_sc 1', then place it in the scene so that the path I never uses the master file. 'Guy1_sc 2' is a different file. Also if you lipsync and stalled the head separately you will need to reproduce, so, for each scene, is also unique. I hope this makes sense.

  • How to use the same services-config for servers the and remote.

    My flex project works very well using the bottom but when I download my flash on the server I do not work, all the files and related paths are the same execpt remote is a linux server.

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? >
    <>services-config
    < services >
    < id = 'amfphp-flashremoting-service' service
    Class = "Flex.Messaging.services.RemotingService"
    messageTypes = "flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage' >"

    < destination id = "amfphp" >
    <>channels
    < Ref channel = "my-amfphp" / >
    < / channels >
    Properties of <>
    < source > * < / source >
    < / properties >

    < / channel-definition >
    < / channels >
    < / services-config >

    I think the problem is the line


    " < endpoint uri = ' http://localhost/domainn.org/AMFPHP/gateway.php "class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/ > "

    but I don't know how to use the same services-config for servers the and remote.

    I'll back up a bit.

    Breakpoint URLS are defined as follows in the services - config.xml:

    https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfsecure

    The meaning of each of the tokens is clearer when we see them as part of a complete url. If your context root is set to http://localhost , then I have no idea how your application runs in any environment.

    If you leave the server.name and server.port chips in your configuration file, then they will be replaced when executing according to the location from which your application is served. However, the context.root token is replaced at the time of the compilation based on the value that you specify in Flex Builder or when calling mxmlc.

    In order to reuse your file services - config.xml, you must use the same context-root on your development environment and to your deployment environment.

  • How to use the background rim start page: allowInvokeParams

    Hello

    How to use the element of the rim: background? what it is?

    3. How to pass parameters between it and the content page?

    It defines a page will be loaded in the background when your application starts.  This page is intended to run any startup logic (for example starting listeners - Push is an excellent example) that your application may need to depend on, without any user interface.

    This background page is WITHOUT user interface.  Any attempt to interact with the user interface (for example change the DOM, calling alert() statements, etc.) will result in no action.  Nor will calls to redirect, since the background page does not interact with the pages of foregroud - if no query string.

    To answer your question - ' How do you pass parameters between it and the content page.  I suggest using a technique of storage like localStorage, WebDB, or same file offline.

  • How to use the functions of SetValue executeScript activity.

    Hello

    Could someone let me know how to use the function activity setValue (serialize concate, count etc) in activity executeScript. What all liberaries I need to import to executeScript. I want to perform the same task in executeScript performed in the setValue activity.

    Concerning

    Sunil Gupta

    Forgive me if I seem obtuse, but why would you use XPath functions (is that serialize, concat, and count) when there are perfectly good Java alternatives that will be much easier to use.  Java is, after all, the language used in the executeScript.  Serialize is just toString(), CONCATENATE is just + or. concat() (I assume that you are running on Java 6 web application server).  The count function is just the length() or size() methods or to the tables, the length property.  If you really need to reorganize in a variable of the XML data using a XSL stylesheet - you have access to all the functions in XPath 1.0 and XPath 1.0 power and you do not need to tinker with the headache of trying to debug Java in an environment (Workbench), which does not give you the tools that you would normally , as a contextual Editor.

  • How to use the ESD document with structured templates

    Hello

    I started to learn working with SEDD. I have an existing ESD, now I'm suppose to use it to create documents. I created a new book and imported this ESD file to it. I can see all the items in the catalog of the element. But when I start to add items to the book and add a new document, the elements are turning to red. Referring to the User Guide, it is said EDD cannot be used directly and must be used with structured patterns. But I do not have these models structured with me. Can someone please tell me how to create these structured templates and how to use the ESD file with these models, and out of this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    Although ESD exist in the form of a separate document, the only way that it can be used is when it is part of the model. As a model of structured FrameMaker, a structured model contains master pages, pages reference, character formats, paragraph formats, etc. IN ADDITION, a structured model contains a DSP. To add the EDD to your template file, or any document FrameMaker who will use it, open the template file and the file of ESD. Click anywhere in the template file, and then select file > import > element definitions. In the dialog box, select the EDD file as source and click Import. Then save the template file.

    To use the template file, open it and save it as a FrameMaker document, giving it the name you want. You can now create your structure.

    If you use a book, all documents in the book must use the same ESD. Open the template file. In the book file, select all the documents in the book. Then select file > import > element definitions. In the dialog box, select the template file and click Import. Once completed, all documents in the book have the same ESD. In addition, ESD is copied into the file of the book itself.

    You say:

    But when I start to add items to the book and add a new document, the elements are turning to red.

    It is is not clear to me what you do. While it is true that SOME elements of a book are in the book file, you cannot add a book of items in the folder (at least not as far as I know). In general, the book file, it encapsulates elements around the documents root elements in the book. You may need to update the book to get a part of the Red disappear lines. You may need to rearrange items in the structure of the book to remove the red lines.

    Hope this helps,

  • With no headphone jack, how to use the iPhone in my car 7

    Okay, so here's the challenge.  I have a power source and a headphone and not Bluetooth.  It works perfectly with iPhones before 7.  But with 7, it isn't possible to use the same configuration I had for years.  I own my car, and I have no interest in buying a new car just to support a new phone.  And since this will be a problem for the years to come if I stay with Apple, I would like to know what are the solutions are available.

    So, how to use the new iPhone 7 while remaining responsible and using my car speakers?  Dongles Bluetooth that I need to reload, it's probably not.

    Thus, looking for ideas that might have people.  I can't be the only one with this concern.

    It's almost a certainty that a third party adapter will appear quickly. The new Macbook has a single port usb - c and people asked the same question, 'how to load and use USB at the same time." There are today dozens of solutions for the Macbook, and then it will be with the iPhone 7. An adapter with a 3.5 mm jack and a port of loading Lightening would be my guess. Kickstarter entrepreneurs are probably already working on it.

  • How to use the node to call a library function to convert C++ source codes

    Hi all

    There are two dll name 'QMSL_WLAN_Transport.dll' and 'QCAMSL_MSVC10R.dll' and some codes c ++ to connect to the DUT. The two DLLs work together for communicaite with the DUT.

    I am confused as how to use the node to call a library function to load the 'QCAMSL_MSVC10R.dll' function as

    g_hResourceContext = QLIB_ConnectServer_UserDefinedTransport((HANDLE) USER_HANDLE,
    UserDefinedSend,
    UserDefinedReceive,
    UserDefinedFlushTxRx,
    true,
    true);
    

    It seems that 'UserDefinedReceive, UserDefinedSend, UserDefinedFlushTxRx' Processaddress?  And "UserDefinedReceive, UserDefinedSend, UserDefinedFlushTxRx"'s functions in 'QMSL_WLAN_Transport.dll '.

    UserDefinedReceive = (_UserDefinedReceive)GetProcAddress(hUDT,"UserDefinedReceive");
    UserDefinedSend = (_UserDefinedSend)GetProcAddress(hUDT,"UserDefinedSend");
    UserDefinedFlushTxRx = (_UserDefinedFlushTxRx)GetProcAddress(hUDT,"UserDefinedFlushTxRx");
    

    Attached DLLs and C++ code snippets.

    Need help.

    Thank you.

    These parameters are reminders - pointers to functions that are called by the DLL - and there is no way to duplicate this purely in LabVIEW. Search this forum for the word "recall" and you will find similar questions (for other DLLs). You will need to write your own DLL (in C, C++, etc.) that implements these functions and provides a way to transfer data to LabVIEW.

    The only way you should not sign the cod is if no controlled classes/interfaces are used. The easy way to find out is to open the SignatureTool and see if your application requires signature. Otherwise this says icefrost1 's good enough solution.
