How to make an image flip over and 'curl' - possible even?

[Davince.net]

Not sure if this is even possible, so before I spend any more time searching and trying... Imagine you through a photo up in the air and it sort of curled in the wind and fell to the ground. Is it possible to animate that in Animate? The rest of the animation is very cartoon like, but this bit has to be an actual photo, and it'd look a bit rubbish just being flat.

Thank you in advance for any pointers!

If you want to add jquery to your fla if you are doing canvas, there are plenty of libraries that do that.

I had a tutorial and sample done with Edge Animate CC but I am not sure how that would work with ANCC.

Hi.

Animate CC doesn't have mesh animation tools for bitmaps. You would need to make use of code for this.

In AS3, you have the DisplacementMapFilter.

DisplacementMapFilter - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference

Adobe Flash Platform * Displacement map filter

In HTML5, the CreateJS suite itself has some features to manipulate bitmaps, like in this official demo:

https://www.createjs.com/demos/easeljs/transform

You can search for another JavaScript library as well.

There's the option to create a rectangle shape, turn it into a Drawing Object, set its fill to the bitmap you want to use, and animate it frame by frame with the Free Transform Tool on Envelope mode. The huge disadvantage here is that the bitmap itself won't be affected but depending on the situation you may be able to fake what you want to achieve.

And last but not least you can make the distortions in another program like Photoshop and bring the frames into Animate.

I hope this helps.

Like JC suggested, I'd probably make the curl in Photoshop and bring it in to Animate.

try some of these tutorials. I know they say flash but animate is flash renamed.

You also can do it easily in InDesign.

Thanks Nick that's awesome. Apologies for delayed response I've been rather unwell.
