  • two questions

    Posted by Matt on July 11, 2005 at 1:31 am

    I have a logo I imported into motion, in photoshop it has a transparent background but when I bring it into motion the background is white, how can I keep the transparency?
    Also I want to make the logo shake, like an earthquake, is there an easy way to do this in motion?
    I’m using version 1
    Thanks

    Go to the Photoshop forum and look up Alpha Channel

    As far as shaking… look for Wiggle… not in front of Motion. but there is a logically named behavior that does this

    First question solved, the images where cmyk, switched to RGB and everything is cool, Still trying to figure out the earthquake shake thing though

    I searched wiggle and nothing comes up. I know there is an earthquake behavior but that is a text behavior, it works great with text, but this is a logo, I cant get it to work with the logo.

    right click on the logo’s position parameter.

    select wiggle

    adjust to your liking.

    or…

    throw an earthquake filter on the log (if you’re running M2)

    Just add a RANDOM behavior to X and Y position of the object (or layer for simultanious effect on many objects) for the earthquake.

    Look at the parameter behaviors and apply them to the X and/or Y position of your object.
