FF 11 STUDIO Can you make animation with available previous filters?

I have seen the awesome and interesting news of the new Animation features of FF 11 STUDIO edition.

Although I have read all the text added I really do not know how It works yet.

QUESTION 1
Please, I want to ask if this really has the ability to animate some compatible of the available filters in the library by adding the new animation components to the filter?

I mean if you can modify a previous filter and add animation to the presets that you already you may have?

I do not mean to add additional Animation Effects as for examples the falling snow in the example

QUESTION 2
Can you make an animation between two selected presets of the filter?
I mean that the animation starts in the first preset values and end on the second selected preset

Sorry that I still do not know how the new animation works as I only have the F11 Profesional version. When I have time I may try to use the trial of Studio version.

Procedural Animation in FF 11

EXAMPLE OF WHAT I ASK

EXAMPLE 1

For example I want to know if you can animate the distortion values of this filter that is for FF 7. So the animation would start and show the default FF Lifesaver source image without any distortion and then progressively would begin the distortion until you reach the preset shown here below

Or Begin fr om an already distorted value and go to another value

EXAMPLE 2

Can this Paper marble texture be animated and show it moving ?

Paper Marble 1 By Stefan Beckmann



EXAMPLE 3

Can you make an animation that would show animated each one of the loop iterations? I mean for example to show each of the spirals when it is being created and added, and not only the end result.

Glowing Spiral By Kochubey



EXAMPLE 4

Could be done an animation wh ere the blocks created by this filter are moving ?

SuperCastleBlocks By Orestes



EXAMPLE 4

Can you animate these mercury drops and show them as if they were really falling and moving?

EXAMPLE 5

Would be possible to animate these bubbles and show them moving ?

Bubbling By Carl





Thanks very much for any posible help

Well not quite all of the filters...For instance EXAMPLE 1 is a map script so it may need to be re-worked in order for it to be animated......
Since it distorts the image and had no setting to undo the distortion to the point of seeing the image that would be hard to animate in the fashion you posted....
So its a case by case on what can and cannot be animated.....
As far as animating between presets I have not dug that far into it but I suppose you could write down the settings and setup
the filter with those settings for animation....

Just learned about the FF11 animation; I guess I'll be updating a couple of filters in the upcoming weeks.

the best way to learn is to open an existing animated filter and learn from its structure. Professional Edition is enough for that

Can you not animate in the Pro version?

With FF11, the only way to animate a filter is to add Animation components to it and use them in the filter tree -- which requires editing the filter or creating a new one.

You can, however, apply an existing non-animated filter to an image sequence representing video frames, which will give you a moving / "animated" result.

In future releases, we will add keyframe animation, which will allow you to animate any existing filter without editing it. However, the keyframe animation will be limited to changing filter parameters over time -- you won't be able to do complex animations that are possible with procedural animation.

Hello SpaceRay,

yes it is possible to change the filter Dragon Distort II to the filter you wanted to have. And you don´t need to upgrade to the newest version of Filter Forge. I have just uploaded the filter Dragon Distort II Animate version to the queue. So watch out for new filters.

Thanks really very much for making this and showing how it can be done and making it without using FF 11

Will try it and see how it works

Best wishes and stay safe

I created the filter Dragon Distort II Studio Version for creating animations with the new FF11 Studio:

Thanks very much for creating this and making it possible, much appreciated, and it looks very good in the example given, and will try it with the trial I have

I was asked to create the filter Dragon Distort II for landscape mode. Here it is:

To make this creation possible I used the snippet Proportional Gradient by uberzew.
