Animation in Xara Revisited

[Gare]

Nice, example, Egg. I see your timing is 2/10s of a second, usually.

That should give Monica a good head start on the flickering text effect she wants by just following the order and duration you have on the Animation Frame Gallery.

My Best,

Monica? Monica? Does this work for you?

Egg - Brilliant.

Cheers Gary. I was going to use this effect to recreate your fairly recent neon sign tutorial but as always time is the problem.

Other Gary. Monica is the OP or am I missing your point?

@Egg—

I believe Other Gary is asking where she is, why she hasn't posted again, what with all this great material we've provided for her.

I took a whack at created the sort of "stutter" the photography has with his text, based on your leag, Egg



And you know what? Without bothering to write to the photographer as O.G. suggested, I think that this might be a full-fledged FLV file, a video animation in a Flash wrapper, and not straight vector animation as we can create in Xara. There's noise, and a blur in before the flickering, and I've seen this script done in After Effects and with plug-ins such as ParticleIllusion.

So I think there's a workable solution here, but it might not be what the photographer is running as a very tired, annoying portal to his content online.

My Best,

Gary

Okay, here's a flickering neon sign.

These flickering effects are great, thanks and executable are with so small file sizes

Forgot to attach the xar file
