 Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2004 5:10 pm Post subject: Animation frames are all black |
 |
|
Hi all,
I am new here (obviously, huh?) and am having a hard time with an animation. It is 134 frames, I have spent a bunch of time on it, and I'm losing my mind over this deal.
It was originally like 120 frames, then I added more in Photoshop. The last frame is solid black and when I saved and reopened in ImageReady not only was the last frame black....THEY ALL WERE!!!!!!!!!! 
I see all the individual frames in the layer pallette but not in the animation thing.
I know it's something real easey I'm missing and I wish I had time to take classes on this stuff but I have a job that pretty much is running my life at the moment.
Please put me out of my misery. |

You need to go through the frames and make the layer that you want to display visible. It sounds like you have the black layer visible on all frames. If you want to email the psd I can take a look.

I fixed it. You have the cars coming around the turn and then the 73 flies in, but all the layers for the 73 part were visible on all the frames. It looks pretty good by the way. I sent it back to you.
If you make a layer visible on frame 1 of any animation, that layer will be visible on all the frames throughout the animation. My guess it that you added the whole 73 part later on, and you added those layers in while you had frame 1 selected. Most of the 73 animation was visible on all the frames.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Thats cool, thanks Bryan!
I see that just 2 layers are visible in the psd. The first one and layer #35. does it matter whats visible when IR gets it?
I also noticed in IR that the first frame is on "automatic" and the rest are on "restore to background". Is that the key?
I'm planning on adding maybe 3 more layers to the beginning to give it a smooth transition. |

oh yea........
I did add the 73 later and I had both ps and ir running with it. they were "transferring changes" and I think thats the problem. Should I just shut down IR or something while I work in PS or is there an easy way? |

I don't really have much time to mess around in IR. Start clicking stuff and see what happens.
Do you understand the concept of one layer being associated with one frame?

Cool. As long as you have that part down you should be gold. Sorry I can't help more.
