Flash product presentation animation
In this tutorial you will se how to make an animation presentation of a product, I have been inspired to do this by a lot of tv ads doing this to present their product such as cell phones.
1.
Start by importing your image to the stage.
File -> import -> import to stage, I choose an apple.
Now right click your object and choose convert to symbol and convert it to movie clip.
2.
Make a copy of the apple this is going to be its reflection, so with the free transform tool drag the upper middle handle all the way down so the apple is backwards.
Place it directly beneath the original apple.
3.
Now you can click the reflection object and go to its properties -> color -> alpha to about 50 percent.
Also with the free transform tool you can scale the reflection layer a bit down in its height as I did.
4.
Now select both the original apple and the reflection, right click and choose convert to symbol, and convert it to a movie clip.
5.
Now we are ready to make an animation of it.
Drag the movie clip all the way to the right, so its out of the stage.
6.
Now scale the object a bit down in size, because we want it to give a feeling that the object is coming near us as it slides over the scene.
7.
In the time line, right click at frame 15 and create a new key frame.
Drag the apple to the left to about 1/3 of the scene.
8.
Create a new key frame at frame 25 and center the apple, now with the free transform tool scale it apple up in size.
9.
Now we want to make a pause in the middle of our animation, eg. when the apple is close to you.
At frame 40 right click and choose insert keyframe.
Create a new key frame at frame 60, drag the apple out of the stage to the left, scale it down in size to the same size as when it was out of the stage to the right.
10.
Now right click a frame between every key frame (except between key frame 25-40) and choose insert motion tween, and test your movie, you should now have an animation that goes from the right to left, and looking like the object is coming closer to you and then fare away again, having a break at frame 25 to 40.
11.
Now in the time line what you can do is to create a new layer, delete the key frame on the layer, insert a key frame at frame 25 and at 40, with some text, then run your animation and you are done.
