• A compound path to access/clipping mask, or something else?

  Hello

  Basically, I'm changing this.

  in a mouth with teeth.

  I am trying to get rid of the surplus lines and leave the black lines in the white space.

  I've tried highlighting all and make a mask of clipping and even with the compound path, and it does not produce the results that I need. Does anyone have an idea what to do?

  Thank you

  Sally

  Hi Sally,

  Using a mask, he would do what you want.

  Select all the black lines and group them (Ctrl + G).

  Then duplicate the white object Ctrl + C (copy) and paste Ctrl + F (stick it in place), make sure that the duplicate is in the front.

  Then by selecting the black lines, you can see and the white shape/object that you have brought to the front (now shift), press Ctrl + 7 (mask) and you will get the result you want.

  Let us know how you get on?

• In Movie Maker 6.0 can a video clip (with mute) be spliced in another video clip so it seems to work with the original sound of the first video?

  Hi, I put a video together for my MOM to 70th and one of her friends has provided a video clip of her playing a classical piece on the piano for several minutes.  I would like to cover this clip with other video sequences (landscapes, etc.) whereas the way piano since the main video track in the background.
  I tried to let fall the piano video file directly in the audio editing panel and then cut a second 20 segment in the video editing and insert a 20 second video (mute) images of landscape. However, the piano audio from the first video stops as soon as the strike chronology inserted piece landscape and picks up again when it ends, even if the audio scenario shows the audio piano continuously?  Am I missing a step or is this not possible?   Thank you very much.

  It should work quite as much as you described in Windows Movie Maker 6.0 (WMM 6.0), then maybe there is a step that is missed.  Let me describe how I could do and see if there's something you overlooked.

  First of all, I assume that you have already imported the clip of piano and your other clips of landscape in your collection then you can drag the there where necessary.  First, drag the piano music to the track Audio / Music in the timeline panel.  Note that if you have your video extended timeline, it will show video, Transition & Audio, but you want to get off- below that, to the Audio / Music , to follow.  At this point if you play your 'film', you should not to see any picture but just to hear the sound of the piano.  You should also only see a waveform on the audio / music.

  Now you can put anything you want on the video track.  Let's start by putting another copy of the original video of piano, but this time on the video track.  If you have developed the video track (to see the Vidéo/Audio/Transition) you will see the video piano and its associated audio waveform.  However, in your case, since you already have the audio separated, you want to cut that his partner.  Right-click on the Audio (attached to the video) track and select Muteor use the menus (Clip > Audio > Mute).

  When you preview the project, you have synchronized video browsing with the original copy of the audio piano.  At the point in the video where you want to replace the video with another piano play, making a split (key M).  Make another split at the end of the section.  It is very import that select you the video track when you add new divisions and you have not also be divide the track Audio / Music .

  Important: You want to make sure this divide the part that has the exact duration as well as landscape images, you want to replace.  So if you have 20 seconds to add, you divide 20 seconds piano images.

  Right-click on the part of piano footage (video track) and choose Remove.  Then, insert the part of sequences of landscape (also on the video track) in its place.  Once again, you will have need put this added sequence muted landscape (Clip > Audio > Mute).

  You should now see and hear the piano play.  Without any change in the audio playback in the preview window should implement the landscape images, then returns to piano images.

  If you find that your project is not behaving correctly after these splits, but are you sure that you have followed these steps, it could be a problem with your video file types.  If in doubt, try to convert all your videos to .wmv format using something like Freemake Video Converter (freemake.com)

  In any case, I hope that you are able to achieve, because it is certainly possible.  Good luck and post back with further questions or information, you can have.

• can not make or produce the clip modified with dark tones / highlights and reverse

  I can not make or produce a clip that has been modified with the shadows / highlights (smoothing time, black, white clip) and reverse with speed / duration.  When you try to make I get an error.  No number it says only: order and error.  If I try to produce the video, it starts to run and then I heard a sound that resembles a goat and the program stops.

• make a clipping with a complex and custom shape mask

  Hello

  I have a graphic of a print, and I'm trying to use it to the mask of a photograph below. When I do the usual steps, is not working and causing everything to go transparent... my picture, completely disappear. I wonder if it's something to do with the complexity of the vector footprint - it has floating elements that are far away (for example, the toes are not attached to the part of the foot). If he throws?

  How can I get this vector illustration imprint to function as a coherent mask?

• How to cut the text of a group of Clip?

  Hello

  I am very new to Illustrator, I appreciate any help you could give me.  I use Illustrator CC.  I created a form composed and then used as a mask to cut out an image for the form so that the vector image is the context in which the form I created.  Now I have the text on parts of the form, and I would like to cut the text of the compound shape.  That is a hole through the object in the form of the text.  Also, I should probably note that the object I want to cut the text on is considered as a' Clip' in the layers panel.

  I tried a number of different options that I found on the forums, etc, but none seems not to work.  So far I have tried:

  1. conversion of the type of a sketch, then selecting the Clip group and type and then by a compound path.  The result: a startup error "cannot make a compound path.  A compound path is unable to combine with a regular path clipping mask. »

  2 Select the type and the Group of Clip and then using much less prominent in the Pathfinder Panel.  Result: An error message stating "the filter yielded no results.  Please select two paths that intersect. »

  3 select the type and the value at 0% transparency in the transparency Panel then selected the type and group of Clip and then tried the difference and Exclusion.  Result: Nothing, but transparent type.

  I enclose a photo of the object and the text I want to cut him and also the layers panel.

  I'd appreciate any help I can get.

  Thank you

  Michelle

  

  Michelle,

  What happens if you go back to the objects in the first picture with the direct Type and:

  (1) select all instances of three Type and group them.

  (2) select the Group Type and group in the flyout palette (Panel) transparency and Clip click the opacity mask making with Clip and mask Invert unchecked (if this sounds wrong to change these options, it should work with those when you have black Type)?

• Making objects in a compound path then the clip

  Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to Java and Illustrator, so any help would be appreciated.

  I'm trying to set up a script that will retrieve a group of objects and turn them into a compound path, and then apply a clipping for the trace mask and the next group to the layer.

  for this snippet, I typed the letter 'o', he described and separated with a unique path, then I drew a narrow rectangle through the O, no line, black fill. The rectangle selected, run the script

  var idoc = app.activeDocument;
  var cp = idoc.compoundPathItems[0]; // the topmost existing compound path
  var sel = idoc.selection[0]; // select the path you wish to add to the existing compound path
  
  sel.move (cp, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // move selected path inside the compound path
  sel.evenodd = true; // necessary to determine "insideness" or to make holes.

  Kpolo,

  I just tried.

  The letters were separated; When I chose each other, made the object > compound path > make and moved them on top stars (both on the work plan and in the stacking order), the object > clipping mask > Make worked well.

  Do you have both

• Create a clipping with a background color mask?

  I recently made the switch using CorelDRAW for my vector art to mainly using Adobe Illustrator. I know of course that there will be some features that are exclusive to Illustrator and CorelDRAW exclusivity, but I've done the research on trying to find the "equivalents" in Illustrator for some tasks I could do in CorelDRAW.

  I know that the tool in Illustrator clipping mask is very similar to cutting power in CorelDRAW. What I'm trying to determine is if it's possible in Illustrator to create a clipping with a background color mask. In CorelDRAW, I could create a shape with a color fill Uni, and then insert an image with a background transparent, as shown below.

  

  Now, in Illustrator, when I create a shape with a color, then he and a pattern that is transparent to create a clipping mask, the color disappears:

  

  Is there a simple way to create a clipping with a solid background color mask? The only work around, I've found so far is a form of solid color, the same size as what I want to be the size of cutting with my transparent motive, then staple in another form of the group. As I said though, just curious to know if there is a simpler way to do this, or if this is the method I'm stuck with.

  Thanks for any help!

  A clipping mask can have its own fill.

  There are two methods:

  -After creating the clipping mask, select the path of masking with direct selection and apply a fill

  -Use the option 'Draw inside' to create the mask. Next draw is at the bottom of the tools Panel. With draw inside the maks object will not lose its filling.

• cut out a shape with compound path?

  Hello Cs6 here... I'm trying to cut out a simple shape to allow the area as transparent or Alpha. As a mask. Except when I use the mask for this, he must make and mask the area where is the shape and hide or delete areas not covered by the mask. I tried the compound path, but I don't get any results from it. My form remains just above my work and do not "cut out" to allow the background shine as an alpha channel. See photos for more clarity please. No matter what specific path or steps would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  NORTH CAROLINA

  I want to reverse this trend where the circle is cut off and the rest remains visible...

  NORTH CAROLINA,

  In the second image of the OP, you have placed at the ellipse, and then you have made an object > clipping mask > make.

  Instead, you can simply select the ellipse and the work and transparency palette flyout > make opacity mask and she, with a reverse mask for a white ellipse.

  Or instead, you can:

  (1) create a rectangle that extends beyond the work behind the ellipse;

  (2) select the ellipse and the rectangle and object > compound path > make;

  (3) select the compound path and the work and the object > clipping mask > make.
