What replaced the motion Math Script

Again, I've read an old AE book "Angie Taylor - Creative After Effects 5.0

She was going through a project which involved using MOTION MATH scripts to synchronize the audio levels of mouth shapes. It was described as being very simple to use.

Given that I could not find the Script where she said it would be, I rose Motion Math help online and came across a post from 2007 which stated that it was abolished.

What is now used instead it or how I can recreate what he used to do.  I imagine that something using expressions probably replaced.

Until you bark at me on reading such an old book, these books show a few interesting examples and even some stuff that only new books, that I learned how to use Motion Sketch to animate an object on the rhythm of the music in real time.  You can get these old books for less than $5 and a little for even a $1 on Amazon.com and given that the program was more simple then the learning curve seems to be less overwhelming.

I use CS4 on Mac, and I have AE CS4 Visual effects and Compositing of Mark Christiansen

Thanks in advance

Cris: You could say that motion Math was replaced by expressions.

Expressions are not only much more deep and versatile. Unlike the Math movement, they are 'live' in the sense that they continue working without having to the Cook into keyframes. Allows you to create live connections between properties, instead of an operation as a query time Math script.

In this particular case, you can use the "Convert Audio to keyframes" keyframe Assistant on the audio layer. This will create a new layer with keyframes that represent the sound levels for left, right and two channels. You can then use expressions to connect any property of any layer of these values and keep the expressions of refining as much as you want. I fear that the details are beyond what I could explain in one post, but there is even a whole book on expressions now: after effects Expressions, by Marcus Geduld. There are a bunch of other resources as well. Try using After Effects expressions section, which surely has links to more information about expressions.

    What I do when I get a message that there is a missing module or flash is required to load the full page? Is it safe to install flash or what can I use instead that would solve this problem?

    Do not pay attention to the news of a website, they can be malicious. There has been many vulnerabilities reported with Flash. That said, in my experience, I have no problems with Flash Player. Just be sure that you get the download from web site https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ to Adobe

    and go to Preferences system Flash when you get a notice to update, it check it and do the update within this preference pane. Often there are pop - ups advertising in browsers with update of false alarms.

  • what replaces the Cisco Spectrum Expert Wi - Fi

    It seems that this product has been discontinued?

    What do people use out there with similar functionality?

    I've never used this product allegedly reading was friendly, so you didn't have to be an engineer RF to understand and put to good use.

    If my client has finally decided to undertake a mission to search for sources of interference, what do you recommend using mere mortals?

    What engineers use?

    Thank you.

    This is not the end of life... It's just a change of product number:

    Cisco® Announces a change in the product reference numbers for the Spectrum Expert for Wi - Fi, card Cardbus. It is a product part number change single ad. Customers will experience no change in functionality when you use the new product ID.

    Yes, it is as a hardware (previously called cognio cardbus) and combination of software (cisco spectrum expert software). After the acquisition of Cisco of Cognio, it is now called just Cisco spectrum expert (with the mention of "cognio").

    Cisco has also incorporated this same functionality to its 3500 Series (called cleanair technology) last access points, so you can have the same GUI of the expert of the spectrum in the toilet if you have 3500 AP series without having to spend a few dollars and material additional to see interference etc.. Every 3500 AP in the law network autonomous "spectrum analyzers" and you get all these features with only the cost of AP!

  • Customize the process of downloading files by replacing the UploadedFileProcessor class

    12.1.3 Jdev

    Hello

    I have an af:inputFile on the page and want to customize the file loading process by replacing the class org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.webapp.UploadedFileProcessor together with the < downloaded-file-processor > element in the config.xml configuration file - Trinity.  This is because we want to save the file directly on the database rather than store them in temporary storage.  No samples of writing a custom class?

    I understand in the custom class, it must implement the UploadFileProcessor interface and override the method:

    processFile (object request, file UploadedFile)

    What is the motion of object?  And how to treat?

    All advice is appreciated.

    Thank you

    -Mina

    Thanks Timo.  Excellent suggestions!  I found the class that implements UploadedFileProcessor is org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.config.upload.CompositeUploadedFileProcessorImpl.java

  • How to replace the units of a channel using scripts % 3F

    Hello

    I have a few questions about the manipulation of the channel property 'unit' by scripts.

    Case 1: If the unit in the chain is not specified in the properties, what command should be used to add the inside unit?

    Case 2: When I create using the string ' Call.Root.ChannelGroups (1). Channels.Add ("name", DataTypeFloat64, 1)', empty space of unity being, what other command can be used which was available to the units to the breast?

    Case 3: Consider that I have channel (channel A) with the already defined unit (x), how can I replace the unit with another (y)? (Units of x and there belong to different physical quantities, so the ChnUnitConvert)

    Pls let me know if you nee details on the same.

    Kind regards

    Fazil Shah.

    Hi Fazil,

    The key word for SCRIPT DIAdem units is "unit_string". If you open the SCRIPT and open the channel property list you can select the property unit and drag & drop it in the SCRIPT Editor. This creates the code of script for the property.

    Case 1
    You have the options of towing: a quallified assignment complete or a channel object variable (if you have more settings for the channel of the second alternative is better)

    Data.Root.ChannelGroups (1). Channels ("mychannel"). Properties ("unit_string"). Value = "MyUnit.

    or

    Dim oChn
    Set oChn = Data.Root.ChannelGroups (x). Channels ("mychannel")
    oChn.Properties ("unit_string"). Value = "MyUnit.

    case 2
    You must add the unit after the creation of the channel

    Set oChn = Data.Root.ChannelGroups (x). Channels.Add ("MyChannel", DataTypeChnFloat64)
    oChn.Properties ("unit_string"). Value = "MyUnit.

    case 3
    It's the same as case 1 or if you do not want to use an already existing channel device, it can look like this

    oChnA.Properties ("unit_string"). Value = oChnB.Properties ("unit_string"). Value

    I hope that answers your questions

  • Script to automatically replace the specific layers?

    Hello. I work for a small company and we frequently get client files I need to edit. Because of the way thay are formatted the layers always come with the same name/structure, but they still have a layer we need to replace. Go to a shared drive and manually place our desired element (a .pdf file if it is of importance) in the subset to continue with the file layer. Thus, for example, there will be a layer in the default file named layer 1, and this layer is Group 1 > Group > mask of clipping and Image.

    I know ideally we should simply fix the script that formats the layers, but for now is not possible. So what I would like to be able to do (assuming that it is still possible), is to have a script that we can run that automatically replaces the 'Image' file in these layers of subset, I spoke with a file to a location on a local computer (for example replace the 1 layer > Group 1 > Group > image.jpg with C:/example/example.pdf).

    I searched online and could not find anything, so I thought that I have turned to the community for help. Entries, suggestions or creative solutions would be greatly appreciated! And as always, thanks, everyone on these forums is usually very beautiful and impressive, so it's always nice to come here to help.

    Glad to see that you have accepted the challenge.

    Well, this should help you get started. Keep in mind, it is written in VB.NET then you will need to translate it is that you want in Javascript. At least you will have a model to begin with. This is just a quick hack for you to start with - you may need to change the layer you want the new image appears on, if it's important. In addition, it is assumed that you started with a plot point (image.jpg) and whether you want the new image to be incorporated. You will see the code tweak as you wish.

    Var app As Illustrator.Application = CreateObject ("Illustrator.Application")

    Dim aDoc as long as I. Document = app. ActiveDocument

    For each item in aDoc.RasterItems

    If the element. Name = "image.jpg" Then

    order of the day. Selected = True

    Dim newPlacedItem As AI. PlacedItem = aDoc.PlacedItems.Add

    newPlacedItem.File = "YourNewFilePathHere.pdf".

    newPlacedItem.Embed)

    order of the day. Delete()

    End If

    Next

    I hope this helps.

  • A Script to find and replace the layer names

    Is there scripts to find and replace the names of layers?

    There is an excellent script available for Photoshop that allows you not only to replace words in layer names, but also insert words as prefixes, Suffixes and sequential numbers.

    The version of the illustrator of this script allows only sequential numbering: it does not offer search and replace words.

    Ideally, it would be great if there were something that could find multiple and replaces in a go:

    (for example

    You have layers like this car, the dog, the bat

    You enter: because (Option1), dog (Option2), Bat (Option3)

    Your layers become then: option 1, option 2, Option3).

    )

    Big_SmiLe, which is a very good start! Step 1 of learning how to Script is indeed, by adjusting an existing simple script to make things more complicated. (And usually then "break something", which is also a necessary part of the process.)

    You are right your comment, it comes to repetitive things. For one or two different articles that wouldn't be a problem, but in the longer lists you are soon lost.

    As usual to work with lists of search - replace is to build a table:

    var layernames = [
    [ 'FHairBowlBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy1' ],
    [ 'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy2' ],
    [ 'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy3' ],
    ];
    

    The general idea is to loop through all the names, check if the current layer name is "layernames [i] [0]" (the left column) and if so, rename it "layernames [i] [1]" (the right column). If you know how to write a loop in Javascript, then you can implement this immediately.

    However...

    A more advanced method to do this didn't need even loop on all layernames - instead you can immediately 'get' the correct name by layer! It's magic! Almost!

    The trick is to use a Javascript object rather than a table. JavaScript objects are nothing special; "Layers" of Illustrator are an array of objects, and each object 'sex' has a 'name' property, which you can read and set the value. What I do here, is to create a new object, where the part 'name' is the name of the original layer and its value is the name of the new layer. All you need to check each layer is if there is a "object.originalLayerName" property and if so, assign its value to this layer name.

    It looks a bit like the table above, except that (1) you use {.} instead of [..] to create an object and (2) you add pairs "name: value" instead of 'value' only (in fact, the 'name' of a value in a table is simply her number).

    So here's what it looks like:

    // JavaScript Document
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    // name indexed object
    var layernames = {
     'FHairBowlBoy *Hair':'Hairboy1',
     'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair':'Hairboy2',
     'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair':'Hairboy3'
    };
    // loop through all layers
    for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++)
    {
     //Set up Variable to access layer name
     var currentLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
     if (layernames[currentLayer.name])
     {
      currentLayer.name = layernames[currentLayer.name];
     }
    }
    

    Enjoy!

  • What are the best options for the composition of math in InDesign CS4?

    What are the best options for the composition of math in InDesign CS4?

    I tried a few versions of the composition of mathematics test. All have their advantages and disadvantages, but I can't decide on which the plugin/script will be the best in the long run (in taking account of the ePub and MathML).


    So far the two best seems to be InMath (if it becomes compatible CS4) or Math + Magic Pro.


    The biggest pro of InMath is editable on the screen, but it seems to have some risk: http://InDesignSecrets.com/InMath-update-with-new-reader-functionality.php


    Math + Magic Pro works well with CS4, but need of equations to modify in the window of their plugin, and because they are EPS format. The file size and the ability to work with a digital player disappeared.

    And MathType seems pretty useless...

    Someone at - it had positive experiences?

    Not exactly the kerning, but you can move blocks wherever you want with the arrow keys. And you can change the spacing between the elements by changing the spacer between them. There are also defects of spacing.

    Batch edit can be something again. I use 6.0, and I see that the most recent version is 6.5.

    I had problems with files EPS of Mathtype, which may include a preview, but do not include fonts. So, I opened each equation of the word with my default settings (they automatically change the default fonts, spacing, size, etc.), copy, paste in Illustrator and save as have. So when I'm finished, my equations are always vector (if that's what you mean by text).

    Microsoft has chosen to implement a version of Mathtype dumbed-down as the editor of Word equations for many years. So for me at least, long term has already been decided. There are several things wrong with Mathtype, but given the choice between the use of Mathtype to * convert * equations and using InMath or mathemagiques to * recreate * equations, I'll take Mathtype, warts and all.

  • What is the life expectancy of the battery in the pen of Apple? Can it be replaced or do I need to buy another pen?

    What is the life expectancy of the Apple pencil? The battery can be replaced or do I need to buy a new stylus?

    According to iFixit (of https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Apple+Pencil+Teardown/52955 )

    • The pencil is clearly not intended to be opened or repaired; You can't get inside without destroying the device.
    • The layers of plastic and metal holding the interior components are impossible to remove without grinding.
    • The battery enough for a 12 hour race, is impossible to replace, which gives the device a limited life expectancy.
