- | |||
- | * How to split any Image into any number of Strips, Stripes or Slices. | ||
- | |||
- | The method described will split any Image - any Aspect Ratio - into the desired number of Strips. It is important to choose the number of strips carefully and work in percentages and not in pixels mode. For instance: | ||
- | |||
- | * For 2 Strips each strip will be 50% of the Width/ | ||
- | * For 4 Strips each strip will be 25% of the Width/ | ||
- | |||
- | * For 32 Strips each strip will be 3.125% of the Width/ | ||
- | * For 64 Strips each strip will be 1.5625% of the Width/ | ||
- | |||
- | It is also important to add any recurring feature during the construction e.g. Key Frames, Opacity etc | ||
- | |||
- | There are two types of construction - Linked and Un-linked - Linked Strips are ideal for Page Turning Effects and Un-Linked Strips are more suitable for Blinds or effects where each strip acts independently of all other strips. | ||
- | |||
- | I will describe each one separately. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== LINKED STRIPS ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * I will describe the method for dividing an Image into 32 equal sized VERTICAL Strips | ||
- | * In Objects and Animation (O&A): | ||
- | |||
- | * Add your Image (Object) for use as a FRAME. If a Style will be made add an INDEX NUMBER at this stage | ||
- | * Add an END Key Frame | ||
- | * To use this Image as a Frame you can EITHER turn OFF both Back and Front Sides or turn its Opacity to zero | ||
- | |||
- | * Copy this Image (Frame) and Paste it to itself (Parent / Child) | ||
- | * In the Copied Version the Front and/or Back Sides and/or Opacity can be turned back on | ||
- | * In O&A / Properties click on IMAGE CROP and set its mode to PERCENTAGE (%) | ||
- | * Each Strip for the 32 Strip Example is going to be 3.125% wide (100/ | ||
- | * Leaving the LEFT box set to zero, change the RIGHT Box to 96.875% (100-3.125) | ||
- | * In O&A Animations set the CENTRE value to -100 and the PAN X Value to -100% - this will move the Strip to the far left relative to its Frame | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | * Copy this Strip and Paste to itself (Parent and Child) | ||
- | * Change the Pan X to +100 - this will move the new strip to the right hand edge of its parent | ||
- | * In Properties change the Right box value to 93.75% and the Left box value to 3.125% | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | * Copy Strip 2 and Paste to itself (Parent and Child) | ||
- | * At this point no further changes to the Pan X value are necessary | ||
- | * In Properties change the Right box value to 90.625% and the Left box value to 6.25% | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | * Continue as above - subtracting 3.125% from the Right Box and adding 3.125% in the Left Box until all 32 Strips are completed | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | * At this point a Style can be made which will save having to go through the process again | ||
- | * The Style will convert any Image - any Aspect ratio or resolution - to 32 Strips (Linked) | ||
