MydknyteStyrm Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Is there a list of animations that don't work with Hypertheme? I know the strobe doesn't work when published, but I recently tried to use the Flag animation, and it just skipped to the final gram as opposed to animating. Also, what's the file size recommended for importing a PSD. I build my themes in PSA, then import the whole file and manipulate it easily. Is this the best way to do it or should I just import each file separately. I've noticed that some themes "load" when the video pops up, causing a pause and h jumping to the final frame.

THK Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 1024 x 768 px 72 dpi 8bit RGB Name the layers: (case sensitive / in order they get imported into HT / don't have to be in that order in PS itself though) Artwork4 Artwork3 Artwork2 Video Artwork1 Background Make sure the background is exactly 1024x768 in HT. If it's larger it might get displaced, which might only become apparent when running it in HS All layer effect (drop shadows etc) must be resterized (or turn layer into smart object) I often make a copy of the psd before doing this and then delete all layers that aren't going to be imported Take note that all artwork will appear exactly in the place they are in PS, but the video border only appears once you add a video and it'll have to be placed manually It's adviced to lock all layers in HT directly after importing the psd so you don't accidentally move them around Animations to avoid: Strobe Flag ..........................back with a vengeance........................
MydknyteStyrm Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks for the info. Another issue is I am getting some slight pixelation Jaggies when imported from PS to HT. I'm using a widescreen monitor, and is this a result of a 4:3 to 16:9 image? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
dark13 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 To avoid jaggies on a 16:9 screen you have to export pngs from photoshop and convert them to .swf in flash professional. The "smooth" flag in flash will improve your artwork. http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?37342-Batching-PNGs-into-SWFs here I posted some scripts to use in flash, with those jsfl you can automatically convert a whole folder of .pngs to .swfs.
