Adobe LiveMotion Guide

Animating Photoshop and Illustrator layersAnimate native layered Photoshop and Illustrator fi les by converting the layers into individual objects, a group of individual objects, a keyframe sequence, or a keyframe sequence where the bottom layer is distributed across the entire sequence. Once the layers are converted into objects or sequences, multiple attributes can be applied and independently animated.

3Integration

Professional vector-based drawing and shape tools Adobe LiveMotion provides designers with a rich set of content-creation tools for creating both vector and raster graphics in one application for increased productivity. LiveMotion provides inte-grated drawing tools you expect in a professional vector application such as a fully functional Bézier Pen tool for creating and editing precise paths as well as standard Polygon, Ellipse, and Rectangle shape tools. Nondestructive Photoshop fi lter support Not only does LiveMotion support native Photoshop fi les it supports the fi lters too. Furthermore, because the LiveMotion architecture is object-oriented and vector-based, design elements are editable at any time and changes are nondestructive. Creative effects can be applied to images without leaving the application and without altering the original vector or pixel information. Filter settings can be refi ned after they have been applied to provide greater creative fl exibility.

2Creativity

Object-based TimelineCreate professional animations with the object-based Timeline—modeled after the Timeline in Adobe After Effects. Independently animate the attributes of an object—such as position, opacity, and special effects—at any point in time during the creation and editing process.

Animation stylesWith the Adobe LiveMotion Styles palette, you gain a fl exible, powerful tool for creating rich Web visuals. Graphical styles let you save any combination of creative effects—including color, texture, opacity, gradients, fi ll, and so on—as a Style that can then be applied to any other object. In addition to recording what an object looks like, LiveMotion also lets you save Animation and Rollover styles. Any object that has been animated can have its animation attributes saved as a style.

Adobe Open Options License Programs

For more details, visit www.adobe.com/store/openoptions/main.html.

Adobe Open Options License ProgramsThe Adobe Open Options License programs offer our corporate, government, education, and small-business customers the opportunity to deploy world-class productivity software with maximum effectiveness. By taking advantage of these licensing programs, organizations can effi ciently manage administrative and IT assets while benefi ting from a volume discount.

Adobe Open Options Corporate License Program (CLP)*The Adobe Open Options Contractual License Program (CLP) is a fl exible volume licensing program that uses an organization’s consumption, projected over two years, to determine volume discounts. The program, which covers most Adobe products, simplifi es software administration through a single licensing agreement that is effective worldwide, offering the discount advantage of a single, large purchase combined with the option to spread out purchases—and hence expenditures—over a two-year period. Each eligible Adobe product counts for either one or two points, and points accrue equally for the purchase of new licenses, the upgrade of previously acquired licenses, or the enrollment of an eligible license in the Maintenance program. The CLP, which is open to corporate, government, and education customers that are able to commit to a minimum of 1,000 points over two years, is available through Adobe License Centers worldwide. Visit www.adobe.com for the Adobe License Center nearest you.

Adobe Open Options Transactional License Program (TLP)*The Adobe Open Options Transactional License Program (TLP) makes it easy for organizations with as few as ten workstations to participate in volume purchasing. It offers ease of entry, covers most Adobe products, and is available worldwide. With no contracts to sign and no need to forecast software consump-tion, organizations can participate in the TLP with no administrative overhead. The TLP evaluates each transaction separately, assigns it a point value, and applies the volume discount level that is appropriate to the size of that transaction. Each eligible Adobe product counts for either one or two points, and points accrue equally to the purchase of new licenses, the upgrade of previously acquired licenses, or the enrollment of an eligible license in the Maintenance program. The TLP is open to corporate, government, education, and small-business customers, and is available through Adobe Authorized Resellers. Education customers in North America must place their orders through Authorized Education Resellers.

Adobe Open Options Site License Program (SLP)A volume licensing solution, the Adobe Open Options Site License Program (SLP) simplifi es the acquisition of software for companies that have decided to standardize on Adobe Acrobat 4.0 or Acrobat Business Tools software. The SLP provides employees within an organization immediate access to the latest version and functionality of Acrobat or Acrobat Business Tools. With these powerful applications, users can take advantage of Adobe PDF to enable universal fi le sharing and to streamline the process of document review and approval. IT departments benefi t from the ability to focus on software deployment, not administration, because the program offers easy installation with a single site license serial number. Participation in the SLP also reduces compliance risks. And for purchasing departments, the program’s convenient six-month reporting plan enables streamlined budgeting and forecasting. With the Adobe SLP, customers have the opportunity to deploy world-class productivity software with maximum effectiveness.

Adobe Open Options Education License Program (ELP)The Adobe Open Options Education License Program (ELP) is designed for educational institutions, universities, and school districts that would like to receive signifi cant savings on Adobe software licenses. Concurrent-use licenses are available. Licenses can also be acquired across platforms—users of Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX platforms can all be covered by the same license. An order as small as ten units per product qualifi es for ELP savings.

What You ReceiveTLP-Communication via e-mail or fax stating go to www.licensing.adobe.com to receive your serial number. Posted there will be an End-User License Agreement (EULA) with the following information: Customer Name, Quantity of Licenses, Product Licensed, TLP ID Number, Platform, Version, Order Date, Mainte-nance Expiration Date, Adobe Order Number, and Serial Numbers.
