I'm doing a series of videos for artists for practicing gesture drawing. They basically consist of 1 or 2 minute poses interspersed with 30 second pauses. The poses are drawn from my portfolio of model photography I've build up over many years, so they are stills. The 30 second pauses are just so the artist can flip to another sheet of paper, sharpen a pencil or shake his arms out.
When the pause is on the screen it will just display a generic background with some text showing which pose is coming up and a boilerplate copyright notice. But I thought it would be nice to have a little countdown timer being shown during the pause so the artist can see how much time remains before the next pose starts. What's a good way to integrate a little animated timer or clock that doesn't look too amateurish?
I know how to change the run time of the entire animated title clip, but how can I extend the end of the finished animation so that just the completed titles viewing time is extended? VS pro X5. Titles
I've been subscribed to Hallmark's website for a long time. I paid them the fee to select and send any of their 'Premium' cards for the 1-year rate. However, I'm extremely disappointed in Hallmark's website, their Ecard offerings, etc. Their list of choices is very small, and many of the cards do not even fit the categories they are placed into. Hallmark has fallen way short of the reputation for quality that it used to have years ago. I'm referring to its website's online greeting cards.'
So, I want to know how I can use Video Studio X5 to create my own personalized animated "Ecards" (including sound) that I can send as Ecards. I have found no animated GIFS in the downloadable stuff from Corel, although I can create my own, if necessary. Neither have I found any quality 3rd-party programs for creating online Ecards; most are junk (according to reviews I've read).
I would be working mostly from very short avi files, jpg images, and adding my own text and sounds. An objective is to keep each filesize smaller than 25MB's so that each Ecard can be E-mailed.
I'm likin' it for the most part, but am having some problems when applying any (animated) Boris 3D titles or enhanced 2D titles. Preview slows to crawl. Taking as long as 50 sec to preview a 6 sec title effect. VS crashed at 60% on attempting to render (MPEG-4 HD) the same 6 sec. title effect.
These are not sophisticated titles I'm using here. Just using Boris' animated templates, changing the font format to 3D or 2D with borders and shadows. All on plain black swatch background, no other tracks in use. If I just use the default plain 2D text the animations work just fine.
I'm set to full hardware acceleration, changing preview from Best, Better, My hardware profile is on the right, am I short on GPU for these types of animations?
We are relative newbies to VideoStudio 4 but we're able to make some simple movies. Now we have been instructed to create a video that has a single red line that begins in the upper left corner, and continues to extend, to the right, towards the right side corner as the video progresses.
How to accomplish such a thing. We have the basic VS4 package, which comes with Boris Graffitt plug in, thats very complicated to us..
I'm trying to make a birthday video for my son and want to start it off with a birthday card that opens. How to animate this or make it, at all. To look like a page turning and being able to see the inside of the card, both pages, then turn over to the back of the card.
I'm trying to create an actual birthday card that will turn the page from the front to the middle pages, then turn the page to the end.
I'm trying to create a fireworks display in VS4. I downloaded BluffTitler DEMO and have tried it there, but wonder if there is a way to create them in VS instead? To be precise, the "fireworks" display I'm trying to create is actually made of ice cubes. I've downloaded a great ice cube photo, one cube, which I'll have to duplicate numerous times, yes? Will VS4 animation be able to do this?
I'm also attempting to create a burning edge effect for some photos, like each one is burning up. I've tried the "burn" transition and it's not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to make the photos look like the edges are on fire.
I just started using the trail version of the VideoStudio Pro software today. I am trying to modify a .avi video file. The movie "clips" play fine, but whenever I play the project, there seems to be compression of the video or something- it the video just becomes unclear and fuzzy. It is not sharp. I'm not sure if it's because it's too big or if I have the wrong settings.
how to superimpose animated clips/gifs/images onto a video?
I want to animate my clock hands backwards but i have tried to use the select and rotate button from the use selection center(centre)then turning on the autokey but it's not working the handles don't stay aligned.
I've been on quite an adventure trying to find a "digital 24hr clock" font. I really need it to complete a couple of assignments I have outstanding.
Before I started looking, I assumed this font would be the easiest to find (not to mention free!), but where, oh where, is this font hiding? (Without having a big ole "$99 for download" tag attached to it that is!)
I'd really appreciate it if anyone has a link to a site with a free download of a Digital Clock font.
How do I get rid of the time clock in organizer. If I click on the time clock and go to editor, the pick shows up fine in the edit mode. Any new pics come in as time clocks instead of pictures and this is before I edit them. When I do edit and return to editor, after saving, I still get the time clock.
I want to create a clock with a frosted glass look and maybe some icicles or ice as well. It is for a project i am doing. The theme is "magic of a moment" and my idea is that a frozen clock would represent in a moment, time seems to slow down/freeze.
Is illustrator the best to do this or should i use photoshop?
If I want to make artwork for a clock by drawing a black circle and then putting 12 white lines on it for each hour, how do I then cut out the parts of the circle where the white lines are so that if I put it on a blue background, all I see is a black circle with 12 sections missing where the white lines used to be? CS6, Windows 7.
I am making the hands of a clock with tick marks held in a particular spot with an invisible bounding box. When I export as a png the bounding box disappears and all I have is the tick mark. Maybe a boundindg box isn't the correct description? I have made the hand using the rectangle shape with no fill and no line. The tick mark is contained within this space. But somehow when it is exported using png the invisible containment disappears. I need that to hold my tick mark in place as the hand goes around the clock.
I am trying to make the hands of a clock with a small red rounded rectangle near the top. But as I rotate the shape the lines are no longer straight. The hands of the clock are invisible but a bounding box for the small rounded rectangle. It won't stay straigh either. I have tried everything I can paths, etc.
We have to animate a part of a really complex clock mechanism, and there are all kinds of gears inside the mechanism.we got all working beside this one.we really need thats all is working like in reality and we have alot of such sector gears thats only covering some degree with teeths.
Have a look at the attached pic... [URL] ....
so if the big one rotates 360 degree the little runs 360 also but only when the big ones hits the little one of course, if not it is still and waiting for the new round...

I am still getting use to X3 and I am doing a project.
I want the text to scroll from the bottom, then stop when it gets on the screen about midway. I use the moving path to come from the bottom, but it won't stay. I try pop up, but it starts from the middle.
*tl;dr- Easy way to take the frames of a GIF and change them to a BMP (there are about 40 frames per Action) So- My friend was learning Java to build a game on Android while I would create the graphical resources. It will be a fighting game- so I went ahead and made animations for the moves and all the characters.
understanding the language so I thought I would go ahead and teach myself as well. I read faster than him- and I got to a point where I find out that graphical resources have to be in BMP (or so the author tells me) and that each frame in gif is a seperate BMP. So- is there an *Photoshop CS6 Willing to get on the cloud or something for the other CS programs.
I want to have my website and phone number rotating on the x-axis as an animated GIF. Is there a simple way to do this in Photoshop that I'm just missing?
I'd like to be able to insert the GIF in a movie project I've started in Sony Vegas.
I know there are probably countless topics regarding animated gifs and i search for them but couldn't find what i was looking for. I want to make a AIM Buddy Icon. I'm semi-experienced with Photoshop but I realize i need image ready to make animations.
I am trying to make an animated gif where an object starts at one end of the logo text and moves across and back. During the across and back I want to use the motion blur filter to simulate motion on the image.
I want the at symblol below to move across the logo text and then back. On the far right image and the far left image I want it to look regular (no effect) then all the tween ones I want to have a motion blur.
I have a video (.mov) and I opened image ready, made the animated gif. So i have a functioning animated gif of a hockey fight. I also have a pre-made .psd for my signature which includes a background, and another image. I have several problems.
I can transfer the gif over, and put it on the PSD.
1) The file size goes from 2.7mb to 112mb. ... WTF?
2) When i try and save it, it will only save the current layer/frame of what it sees. Therefor no more animated gif.
3) Also, how do I change the opacity of this? I would like to layer mask the finished product, then reveal using the brush with an opacity of about 75%, but the option is not available with linked-layers.
I downloaded a gif and opened it in Image Ready and proceeded to modify the nine frames it had to show a different face than the one it had.
After every frame mod I ran it in ImageReady to make sure it was working ok.
Once I had completed the mod I ran it again and it worked perfectly I then "Save Optimized As" and gave it a title and downloaded it to my desktop.
From there I opened it up in Safari to see if it worked ok and it worked but the face which had been so clear in ImageReady was now all spreckled with dots.
I tried to open it in ImageReady again and got the same results it was now spreckled with dots.
The original image was a black and white and the face I added was in colour but not sure if that would cause a problem seeing as it worked ok in ImageReady. I have added 2 pics so you can see the difference.
I am working on a art project where the main theme is human anatomy, and I am using Adobe Photoshop and Imageready to help me. I have made a animated gif, but am having trouble fading the layers into each other.
I was unable to upload it to imageshack or similiar due to its large size.
I have been trying to create a animated .gif with photoshop cs & imageready cs. I get all of the frames and everything the way I want and when I go to save as a Optimized .gif I only have options to save as "html" & "images only .gif"
This animated .gif occupies the upper-left corner of a web page on my site. It is tabled to connect perfectly with a horizontal menu bar (you can see part of the menu bar in the image below). I created the ripples using Redfield Plugins.
I created these ripples because the corner of my web page needed something. I initially experimented with Greg's Plasma Effect inside various shapes, but decided to try for something a little more mellow. I settled on these magic ripples. Unfortunately, they need some help. I'm not sure what's missing. They need to be a little more glossy, perhaps. Or maybe some highlights, and possibly some reflections. I'm asking for your feedback and/or suggestions for improvement.
I made an animated gif in photoshop and saved it and made sure it worked. My problem is that I have a psd file that I am trying to put the animated gif into. When I try to paste it into my psd, it say that it will lose information if i save over it. I do not know what to do?! How do i put an animate gif into a psd?
I tried to go into image ready and save the psd into an html and then open the html in dreamweaver and replace the pic but it doesn't let me either because it saved the psd as a jpg and created an html and I cant put an image of the jpeg that was made in dreamweaver.
