Applying multiple effects to a Node?

How can I add more than one effect to a Node at the same time? I want to add a blur and drop shadow to a Shape concurrently. Can it be done?

Specify one effect as the input to the other. See "Creating a Chain of Effects".

Apply multiple effects at once in imovie hd?

i have applied multiple effects to a clip ("adjust color," "soft focus" "brightness and contrast" etc).
the effects in combination create a distinctive look which i would like to apply to a whole movie. but it takes a long time to apply each effect.
is there a way to copy or save a group of effects as a set, and then apply them all at once in order to save time?

how MUCH faster is FC for rendering effects?
Not any faster at all.
The difference is that you can apply them all within a few seconds and then have lunch (or whatever) while FCE renders ALL of them in sequence without further user interaction.

Apply multiple effects to multiple objects with single click box

I would like to click on a click box and have one object appear and another object disappear. I guess what I'd like to do is apply effects to multiple objects with a single click box. Is that possible?
Thank you.

Welcome to our community
Sure it can be done but you won't use effects to do it.
When you insert an object in Captivate, you have an option to enable or disable Visibility. You also have an option to name the object. So you would give the object a meaningful name and clear the Visibility option to "hide" it until needed.
Then you would create an Advanced Action that would hide some objects and show others.
After that, you would assign the Advanced Action to a Click Box or a Button or some other event.
Cheers... Rick

How to apply multiple effects on one clip

Here's a simple question, so I guess there's got to be a simple solution. Is it possible to have more than just one effect on one clip? If yes, how can I do that? I've searched the iMovie help, but it didn't give me any answer.

No, you cannot apply more than one effect at a time in iMovie '09.
However, you can always adjust Video Levels, Exposure, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, etc. in Inspector.

Unable to add multiple Effects in iPhoto...

How can I apply multiple Effects to any image in iPhoto for iPad(eg: apply If I apply Vignette and then try the Aura effect, I loose Vignette effect!!!).
Any Solution??? Need help!

Multiple effects are not supported in the current version of iPhoto for iOS.

Applying same effect to multiple titles

sorry for the newbie questions (last video stuff I did was using avid and discreet effect many years ago)
I've got a load of titles that I want to apply the same effect to (something like a slide direction blur), I've been poking around to see if I can create the effect on a clip, then replace one title with another OR copy and paste all the clip attributes (including position and transparency) OR create a preset that contains all the effects.
Ideally the solution would enable me to change the effect and update all the titles. Is there a way?

I've got a load of titles that I want to apply the same effect to (something like a slide direction blur), I've been poking around to see if I can create the effect on a clip, then replace one title with another...
You can do this. Copy the title with the applied effect, paste it elsewhere into the sequence, and then hold down the Alt key as you drag the replacement title on to the pasted title. The effect will be preserved, but the clip will be replaced.
OR copy and paste all the clip attributes (including position and transparency)
You can do this, too. Select the clip with the effects in the sequence, either press Ctrl+C or go to Edit > Copy to copy the clip, select one or more target clips, and either press Ctrl+Alt+V or go to Edit > Paste Attributes. All effects and transformations will be pasted to the target clips, without changing the clips themselves.
OR create a preset that contains all the effects...
And you can do this, as well. With the Effects Control Panel open, hold down the Ctrl key and click on the names of all the effects you want to include in the preset. Click the flyout menu (it's the tiny four-stack of pancakes at the upper-right corner of the pane) and select Save Preset. I'll let you figure it out from there
Ideally the solution would enable me to change the effect and update all the titles. Is there a way?
No way to directly do this; any effect or effect preset applied to a clip is an independent instance, and is not connected to the original in any way. However, you could use the preset building process I outlined above to semi-quickly update all your titles. If you've applied an effect or effect preset you don't want any more, select all the clips that are thus effected, and right-click on one of them and select Remove Effects. Tick the options that you want to remove. Then, rebuild your preset, and apply it to your clips again; you can apply a preset to multiple clips by selecting them all and dragging the preset from the effects bin. It's a little bit of a round-about way, but it's about the quickest it can get.

How to apply an effect to multiple/all clips

I'm sure I'm missing something elementary here, but I can't find a way to apply an effect to multiple clips at once in PE7. Specifically I'd like to apply the Auto Levels adjustment effect across all clips in my project (makes sense because they were all recorded at the same time), but at best can onely copy the effect from one clip or section on the timeline to another; one at a time. When working with a project that has upward of 100 scenes, copy and pasting to each individual clip seems like a lot of tedious work that should be easier.
Does anyone have any suggestions or information that could point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Dale

Dale,
You have discovered one of the little "gottchas" with Copy/Paste Attributes - it does it for all.
I do not know of a way to eliminate Effects globally, i.e. multiple Clips in this case. Unless there's a neat workaround, or secret switch, I think it will be by hand. That is the way it is in PrPro. Don't know about PE, but In PrPro one can select some of the Effects to Copy/Paste Attributes (for many Effects, but not all).
Side note: Render your Clips and watch them closely with Auto Levels. I find that it "pulses" and that manually setting Levels (not the Auto one) is better.
Good luck,
Hunt

How Do You Apply Process Effects To Multiple Clips In A Multi-Track?

A multi-track sequence brought over from Premiere, I have over a dozen clips from a funeral service video that need noise reduction.
But, because it's a process effect, I can only work on one clip at a time. Furthermore, I may need to apply several passes of the NR effect to eliminate the noise without sounding weird.
How then do I apply that effect (and its parameters) to the rest of the clips in the sequence?
In Premiere, you can copy and paste effects (and their parameters) from one clip to another. There is no such thing in Audition that I can see.

Hi, Alex.
It seems you want to do some broadband de-noise processing. While one can do a noisefloor sampling from one clip and apply it to others (great for when you have multiple takes from the same setup), it may be best to noise sample each individually if the mic has moved position enough to cause the tonal characteristics to change.
An example would be if on-screen talent is walking in an outdoor location. In one part of the location, a particular section of the clip has a lot of BG traffic noise. Another recording has a fountain in the BG - while it still may have some of the traffic in it, the predominant BG noisefloor is "strong fountain/weak traffic", so like others have mentioned, it makes more sense to make a new BG sampling to match the characteristics of this clip.
All that being said, here is how you BATCH PROCESS / broadband de-noise a bunch of clips, it's a 4-tiered / 21-step process when starting from scratch.
                              NOTE: there is a manual cheat after the Batch Processing lesson - skip to that if you wish
(WARNING - this type of processing is most successful if the file has been EQ'd or gain boosted (if needed) before processing. This is also true for the noisefloor sample. It should be taken from the pre-adjusted clip so that it all matches level)
1) find / open a source clip that best represents the BG noisefloor you wish to sample as your broadband source for processing,
then in the WAVEFORM editor window press alt-shift-C to save this selection as a new file - give it a unique name that represents its function
     a. ideally, this selection will be more than 5000 samples
     b. should be free of non-BG noise sounds (Dx, footsteps, mouth sounds, it should sound like a very short ambiance loop)
2) with your new sample saved and your source clip still open in the UI:
     a. load your noise print file
     b. adjust the Noise Reduction and Reduce by sliders (I suggest you start with a noise reduction value of 100% with a reduce value of 3 to 6 dB)
     c. under Advanced Settings, set Spectral to 0%, Smoothing to 20, Precision to 7, and Transition width to 2dB - these settings
         are like painting not with a wide brush but with a thinner brush, which means less cancellation of frequencies you want to keep and less artifacting
     d. toggle on/off the Output Noise Only function to see just what you are subtracting in your process - a great way to make adjustments until your
         noisefloor-only sound is free of Dx and other Production sounds
     e. optional advanced step - in the process UI Frequency window, you can draw a curve to select the frequency ranges that will be processed - this is another
         way of "thinning the brush" so that you are NOT processing where it's not needed in the broadband range - i.e. hiss from a low-quality mic,
         open the FA window [alt-Z] to see realtime Freq. Analysis on playback of your clip with the processing;
         adjust your settings and the curve in the window to counter the frequency range of the noisefloor - this process is like alchemy, wicked awesome
     f. once you're happy with your settings, click the Save Effects Preset button (down-arrow on hard-drive) next to the Presets pulldown button.
               do NOT apply your process yet - that's the next step
3) now, you're going to create the Favorite that the Batch Process will use to process your clips
     a. select Favorites / Start Recording Favorite (every user function of the software is now being recorded into a macro)
     b. in the Noise Reduction UI, click the Load Noise Print button and select your saved file
     c. now, select your preset from the pulldown menu
     d. click the Select Entire File button below the UI Freq. window
     e. click Apply
     f. click Favorites / Stop Recording Favorite
4) now, under EDIT, select Batch Process
     a. select your new Favorite from the pulldown tab
     b. drag and drop the files into the Batch window or load them from the Load button in the upper left of the Batch window
     c. click the Export Settings button in the bottom left
     d. set any pre/postfix labeling additions (this works a lot like Adobe Bridge's Batch Rename tool - amending the original filename to differentiate
     e. set a NEW save location to isolate the files
     f. set the format / type / bitrate (best to keep the original format or a higher quality); when finished, click OK
     g. in the lower right corner, click the RUN button and watch the magic right before your eyes
[HERE IS THE CHEAT]
Now that you're learned the magic of batch processing (FYI a new favorite can contain / execute multiple existing effect processes), here is what I recently did in a doc with interview footage - guys in front of a green screen with a less than perfect sound environment.
1) in Multitrack mode, double-click your clip to process
2) in Waveform mode, select the noisefloor area to sample and type shift-P
3) type ctrl-shift-P to open the UI - adjust your De-noise settings for ALL of your processing
4) type ctrl-A to select the entire file
5) click Apply; type ctrl-shift-S to save this processed file (I add "_PROC") as an alternate to the original which still exists should you want to go back to it easily - the ALT file will be in the multitrack timeline
6) type G (de-select I/O area) then type F12 key - returns to Multitrack mode
7) double-click your next clip to process and repeat steps 3-7 until finished (you won't need to tweak the settings in 3 after the initial step 3)
In 3-5 minutes, you're Done!
I discovered another layer of coolness within Audition regarding CLIP Effects Racks where one can setup a stack of effects, save as a User Preset, and apply them to either an individual clip, a set of clips, or to a track. This is great when you want to apply, for example, a Parametric EQ for filtering an outdoor location or boosting a lav mic's High Freq. Shelf for addition sibilance PLUS a Tube-modeled Compressor to handle dynamics...you spend a lot of time tweaking the settings "just right", and now you want to apply to more than one clip on a track.
In a short film I'm working on, I use this technique to apply EQ and Room Ambiance (reverb) to camera perspective changes on a single track of ADR for off-camera Dx. I place the Dx in a track. Splice on the camera edits to make unique clips, select the Audio Perspective preset I made for each camera angle, and Voila!
Have fun!

Is there a way to apply an effect (same settings) on multiple files?

I think the title pretty much says it all. I know that I can create a preset and for the dozen or so files I'm working with now that's not such a big deal, but if I get work through this client I could be working with fifty or so files and the time to open, add the effect, save, and close adds up fast. I've tried saving an applescript but that doesn't seem to work with applying an effect. Any suggestions?

Copy the clip with the effect. Select the clips you want to apply it do. Use Edit>Paste Effects.

Applying an Effect to Multiple Clips

While I have such a helpful person's attention, can you tell me how to apply white balance and other settings (from the Fast Color Corrector) from one to many clips?
Thanks.

In CS6, you can also (and possibly preferably) create an adjustment layer, place it over the clips you want the effect on, and than apply the effect to the AL. This way all clips underneath will get the effect, and you can make changes to just one instance of that effect.

How do you add multiple effects to the same clip

How do you had multiple effects to the same clip. I have tried for hours
I would like to add sepia and aged movie to the same clip. I heard it can be done, but have not figured out how to do it.
anyone please.

Normally you can apply only one video effect at a time. But for Sepia, black and white, and others that can be done through the video Adjustments tab, you are in luck.
Aged Movie should already have a bit of a sepia tone.
If you want more of a sepia tone or you want to fine tune the sepia effect you can do it with the Clip Inspector/Video Adjustments tab.
Note: Thanks to Jeff Carlson of MacWorld for this tip.
If you're looking for a washed-out sepia appearance, first open iMovie's preferences and turn on the Show Advanced Tools option, which adds more controls to the Video Adjustments HUD and other areas of the program. Select the clip you want to alter and press the V key. Set Saturation to 0 percent, and then drag the Red Gain slider to 143 percent, the Green Gain slider to 90 percent, and the Blue Gain slider to 53 percent (feel free to tweak these settings to customize the results). Click on Done when you're finished. Note that the clip thumbnail still appears in color, as the video was shot, but the preview reflects your changes.--JC
If you need to apply the same settings to all clips, first select the clip you have adjusted. Then Edit/Copy. Then Edit/Select All. Then Edit/Paste Adjustments.

Add multiple effects to a title and to a video

I have an edited video and inserted a title before the video starts. I would like to have the title zoom and while zooming, fade in. I apply the zoom to the begining of the title on my timeline, edit the duration and the start and end size then try to add a fade but the fade overwrites the zoom. On all the videos I found, they drag and drop the effects onto the clips on the timeline (I have to add them to either the front or back) then it appears on the Effect Controls under Video Effects. When I do it, I do not see the effect under that, I can only see the effect options when I click on the effect on the time line.
I have tried the same thing to the video itself and can only add one effect to each clip.
What am I doing wrong? How can I add multiple effects to things on my timeline?

Here is a +1 for Jim's suggestion to look into Keyframing the Fixed Effect>Motion>Scale, to create your Zoom.
You could well explore Keyframing another Fixed Effect>Opacity, to have more control over your Fade-In too.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can we have Multiple Instance on same Node in Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
I am planning to implement the RAC in Oracle 10g.Before that i have one doubt regarding RAC.
My question is "Can we create multiple Instance on Same node(Server) ?"
is it possible.
Any ideas or thoughts would be apperciable.
Thanks in Advance.
Anwar

This is where it is important to keep the separation between 'database' and 'instance'.
A database is the set of files that contains the data (and the redo, control files, etc). A database does nothing by itself, other than take up lots of disk space.
An instance is theCPU cycles (running software) and the memory to control the database.
In Oracle RAC, you can have as many instances controlling one database [at the same time] as you want (within reason). Each instance must be able to access the disk(s) that contains the database.
These multiple instances can be on the same computer (effectively taking up a lot of server memory and CPU for nothing) or they can be on separate computers.
If they are on separate computers, the disk subsystems must be able to be shared across computers - this is occasionally done using operating system clusterware and is the main reason why clusterware is required at all. (This is also the toughest part of the pre-requisites in setting up a RAC and is very vendor dependent unless you use ASM.)
These instances need a communication connection to coordinate their work (usually a separate network card for each computer) so they do not corrupt the disk when they are trying to access the same file, and possibly the same block, at the same time.
In a RAC configuration, instances can be added, started, running, stopped and removed independent of each other (allowing a lot of high availability) or can be started and stopped as a group.
Each instance gets it's own SID, which is in no way any different than a non-RAC SID. It's just the name of a service that can be invoked. The neat thing is that the SID
a) helps the DBA keep things straight by lettiung us talk about 'instance A' (the Oracle software to be running over on computer A) vs 'instance B' when starting, stopping and managing;
b) helps the application by providing targets that can be listed in the TNSNAMES.ORA [against one service alias], which is used by ORacle Networking to provide automated load balance or failover (instance/SID a is not available, I guess I'll try the next in the list)
Hope that helps the concept level a bit.

Applying video effects in Premiere at the track or media level?

Hello,
I am trying to adjust to the Premiere workflow, coming from Vegas, and have a question regarding the application of video effects. Premiere seems to apply effects at the clip level - for example, if there is a cut in the clip, the effect is only applied to a portion of the clip. Vegas allows for the application of effects at the media level - no matter how many cuts have been made - or at the track level. Is there something comparable in Premiere? I have been trying to apply the Neat Video effect, and the only thing I can think of is to select multiple clips when applying it, but it seems to crash Premiere when I do that. Any advice on making this work would be much appreciated.
On a related topic, does Premiere apply effects in a chain, as they are added, or does it automatically perform an reffect first if it should be applied first? In other words, does it matter in what order the effects are applied, and if so, is there a rough order of how they should be applied?

I'm running Premiere Pro 5.5 and have been able to lasso and apply my effects to several of my clips all at once.
Once you apply the effect and fine-tune (if need be), you can right-click and create a User Preset to help save time (say if all of your clips needed to be color corrected). The User Presets are the first folder listed in the Effects bin.
As far as the effects order are concerned, you pretty much have to play around with those yourself. I use a Video Limiter effect with a ProcAmp and have noticed that if they aren't in a certain order (the first listed effect is the first applied...) it changes how it looks and not always for the best. Best bet is to play around and see what order of video effects works best for you.
Good Luck!

Multiple adjustment layers vs. multiple effects on a single adj. layer

I posted this earlier on the Creative Cow forums, and came back with inconclusive answers...
If I have the exact same clip in 2 separate comps...In Comp 1 I have 5 color correction effects on a single adjustment layer, and in Comp 2 I have 5 adjustment layers with the same effects, 1 effect each spread over the 5 adjustment layers (in the same order). Should I theoretically expect to get the exact same image in both comps?
Here's the reason I'm asking. I'm doing some color correction that occasionally involves a lot of keying, which I'm doing in Colorista II. It's not green/blue screen keying, it's keying the shot footage for adjustment, e.g. skin tones, backgrounds, blown-out highlights, etc. I'm finding that in order for the Colorista II keyer to work based on previous instances of effects calculations (i.e. Levels, Hue/Sat, or other Colorista instances, all of which occur *before* the key) I'm having to put it on another Adjustment Layer for the keyer to take the earlier effects into account. Otherwise, if it's on the same adjustment layer, the Colorista keyer disregards the previous effects & uses the un-effected clip as the source for the key.
I don't know if this is just the way the Colorista II keyer works, or if this is a global After Effects-wide order-of-operations thing that I don't fully have a handle on. I understand order of operations, and that Adjustment Layers affect all layers below it, and all that stuff. My question is, what (if anything) is the difference in behavior between multiple effects on a single adjustment layer vs the same effects spread out over multiple adjustment layers? Is it predictable & consistent? Or is it just common knowledge (to everyone else but me) that sometimes you have to use multiple adjustment layers based on the specific effect combinations that you're using?

I don't know if this is just the way the Colorista II keyer works, or if this is a global After Effects-wide order-of-operations thing that I don't fully have a handle on.
As far as I understand the SDK, it is not considered practical, since it would require a plug-in to establish its own comp buffer outside the main rendering pipeline, which could lead to issues with color consistency and things like premultiplied vs. straight Alpha. I also seem to remember that as of CS5 it is actually no longer technically possible. Hence effects that use specific source footage API calls will bypass any previous effects and directly operate on the source.
My question is, what (if anything) is the difference in behavior between multiple effects on a single adjustment layer vs the same effects spread out over multiple adjustment layers? Is it predictable & consistent?
The result should be the same under all circumstances, assuming all adjustment layers have the same opacity and no masks and their stacking order is equal. Only when you apply masks or adjust the opacity to fade specific adjustments you will see differences. It is also to note that having all effects might be a bit faster and more efficient, since less data is passed from buffer to buffer...
