Out of Focus In Focus Question

I see a lot of videos where it gos in and out of focus purposely to give this effect. I see it a lot in wedding videos. Are videographers usually doing this with their cameras or in post production like with Motion? I am a newbie so cut some slack - Nick

I think what you might be looking for is the art of bokeh

Like the other posters have indicated it is better to do it with a good lens and shallow depth of field. If this is not an option, there are plugins that can simulate this as well as a simple gaussian blur

Here is a good place to start for some free plugins:

  • Why are there so many apps and wearable tech out there that specifically focuses on losing weight?

    I'm under weight and would really like to see some apps for people like me who want to gain about 30 lbs!

    Why are there so many apps and wearable tech out there that specifically focuses on losing weight?
    Because there's a 35x bigger market for it.
    Percent of adults   age 20 years and over who are overweight, including  obesity: 69.2% (2009-2010) - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/overwt.htm
    ...an estimated 1.7% of U.S. adults aged 20 and over are underweight - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/underweight_adult_07_10/underweight_adult_07 _10.htm
    I suggest you type

    into a search engine.  I did and one came up on the top line (no idea if it is any good, you have to determine that yourself).

  • JTable Custom Cell Editor "focus through keyboard" question (SSCCE included

    I was trying to use two components in a table cell. The first was JTextField and second the JButton. Everything works fine, except when it comes to editing the JTextfield using keyboard instead of mouse. When I use tab key to go to the custom cell, I can see that the focus is on the cell (as can be visible from background color). But when I try to edit the cell using F2 or directly entering text, nothing gets entered. If I use the mouse to go to particular cell, it works fine. Here is SSCCE. Try the following.
    1. Use mouse key to select first cell for editing. Edit the cell. Everything normal.
    2. Use the tab key to go to the first cell. Try to edit cell either by entering directly for after using F2. Can't get the typed text into the JTextfield.

  • DATAGRID FOCUS ISSUE: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.

    Problem: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.
    Example: In an AdvanceDataGrid, there are three columns having custom ItemRenderer with Spark TextInput control (editable=true & focusEnabled=true).
    When I try to move the focus in with in 2nd, 3rd & 4th column using tab key, focus got lost. Most of the time it’s working, but some time it doesn’t work. There’s no clue as to how may rows/columns the focus has jumped to; or whether the focus has gone out of the data grid altogether.
    Observations: I am not sure whether this problem is because of custom component implementation or it is because of some issue related to Flex Component.
    It only occurs when we perform some actions like some server call, some complex logic execution etc. at the focus out event of itemrenderer.
    There is one property of datagrid i.e. editedItemPosition which contains row & column index of datagrid. On the focus out event, it gets null when focus got lost. We tried to set it, but it didn’t work.
    Steps Performed:-
    1. Currently focus is in 2nd column i.e. Apply to #.
    2. Once I press tab key from 2nd column, it goes to 3rd column which is correct.
    3. Now if I press tab key from 2nd column i.e. Payment #, focus should go to 3rd column, but it goes out of data grid and set the focus of button which is outside data grid.

  • HT201401 iPhone 5 camera not focusing; selfie focus is fine

    My iphone 5 camera spontaneously stopped focusing a few days ago.  I have since updated to the latest OS, restored factory settings, cleaned lens and face with microfiber cloth, and powered down multiple times.

    I have no idea what store you are refering to but take it to an Apple store and they can check it out. It's their call to replace or repair.

  • Nokia N93 Focus and Focus button

    Has anyone else got problems with there Nokia focus button and zoom in and out swivel thing.
    I bought the phone 11/10/06 three days later took it to Nokia shop to have it upgraded with the new firmware as it was crashing and taking jerky video.
    All ok, All taking video ok, then things started to go wrong, the unit restarts on its own, I can not use the swivel zoom in and out button its too hard to move, I take the pictures at night and well u might as well not use the flash for all the good it does. The focus button I depress on photo mode will flash green for ages and will not focus at all. The video looks like it is stuck on high zoom and will not do anything.
    £499 I paid for this phone and for a phone thats a lot of cash to pay for just that A PHONE!!!
    Im not saying that it should be the bees n eee of phones, but why for a new phone is it failing and even let out on the market with faults??
    The place where I got it from is not even answering the phone or emails I am sending to get it sorted, even the Nokia Shop where I took it to get it f/w uploaded told me to send it back to where I got it from in the 1st place next time.
    So Nokia, if your listening, help me out here?
    So far since I got this phone.
    Bad software version so new phone could not use as it suggested.
    Bad after sales service from your Nokia center.
    And now a camera phone which has turned into a hmmm Phone...
    Happy? not...
    All I can say is I hope your N95 is better and tested before you send it out to the public.

    Well here we are, I took my phone to the shop, they told me after a week it went to germany for the phone to be diceted(spelt right? hmm) anyway, I went on holiday to aus for three weeks without a phone, thanks nokia!! came back, and just my phone was ready, I got a friend to pick it up as while I was away my dad died. Family could not reach me as no telephone. I check it out and use it, v 10.0.025 12-07-06 RM-55 N93 (52.01) Bluetooth can not turn up the volume while in a call. Pics grainy Batt power will not even last a night, I got to sleep with a fully charged phone and wake and its dead. Strange how the nokia shop said nokia have sent me a new phone. Choices choices, Local paper will def hear abotu hwo **bleep** your company is with support and pushing out faulty phones and def will be talking to consumerwatch, you will be hearing from me later, just **bleep**. And yes im angry. Not happy at all with the responces, example, please accept out appoligies, and can you take it to your nerest nokia shop for an upgrade or repair. Jeesh, I have had this phone since october and I have only had it with me for three weeks out of that lot, you nokia have had it, shall I just give you £500 and not have a phone as thats what it feels like. Its supposed to work, I dont buy a car without wheels do I? I buy a phone which should work. All other readers dont waste your time with this phone or nokia as the support if poor and well the phone is not worth it.. Oh also for your updater software, if ver 11 or ver 20 odd is out, why does the software say there is no new software for my phone? Another waste of harddisk space on my computer.

  • How to force focus last focused HTML input element when going back in history with backspace?

    SUMMARY: I am a Firefox user with HTML knowledge. I want to be able to configure Firefox to behave in a special manner when I hit backspace. It's something that Firefox already does, BUT NOT ALWAYS. I don't know why it behaves differently in different situations for no apparent reason. I want to be able to configure firefox to ALWAYS behave in the manner I want to. Read below for the precise description.
    When I fill a FORM in a page, wether POST or GET, and press ENTER, it obviously acts as expected: submits the data and brings me to a new page. When I get to the new page, and I press BACKSPACE, Firefox behaves in sometimes like TYPE 1 and sometimes like TYPE 2 (see below), and I can't predict which one he will choose. I want to be able to configure it to behave ALWAYS like TYPE 2.
    TYPE 1 - Firefox reloads the previous page, as if I just entered it for the first time.
    TYPE 2 - Firefox brings me back to the exact same page view I had before pressing ENTER to submit the FORM.
    2.1 - It doesn't reload the page;
    2.2 - It places the page in the same scrolled position I was before (for example, if I scrolled to the bottom of the page to fill the FORM and press enter, after pressing backspace it brings me to the bottom of the page again;
    2.3 - It automatically focus the HTML input element I last typed (the element that was focused at the very moment I pressed ENTER to submit the FORM).
    So, I want to be able to configure Firefox for it to ALWAYS BEHAVE LIKE TYPE 2 whenever I fill a HTML FORM, press ENTER and press backspace after going to the new page. All three details I gave are important. Remember that I've already experienced TYPE 2 in previous versions of Firefox, I just wish to FORCE IT to behave like that ALWAYS (because for no apparent reason, sometimes it behaves like TYPE 1 instead).
    Please let me know if that's possible, and if not, I would really THANK YOU ALL FOREVER if you add this feature to the next version.

    It's set to true.
    I saw the add on you suggested, but it does not fulfill my needs.
    I like the behavior exactly as I said because, after submitting the form, I want to be able to look something in the new page and quickly get back to the form, change the text I wrote in the input element and submit it again, in a matter of one or two seconds only...
    I was able to do that whenever firefox behaved like TYPE 2 (explained above)...
    Thanks for the reply but didn't solve my problem yet...

  • I am trying out Keynote and have some questions.

    I loaded Keynote this afternoon on the 30day trial. I am a retired commercial artist and have been using a Mac since the Mac II came out with a color screen. A 20 MB hard drive and I think it ran at a blazing 8 MHz or something like that. I have worked with teenagers in churches for over 45 years. I took the job as youth leader in a small mission church about 3 months ago. On a good day will have 7 kids. However, we are growing and hope to have many more.
    Here is what I am trying to do. I have a new 17" MBP and I have bought a 32" TV for my classroom. You can see a picture at this link:
    http://www.waskomtexas.com/NCBC/youth/index.html
    I have had the system in the classroom for about two weeks, the kids are responding to it very well. My goal is to teach, not dazzle them with technology. Most of them know more about technology than I do anyway. I am using DreamWeaver to prepare some of the lessons. This is a total experiment. The first lesson that I have prepared is here:
    http://www.waskomtexas.com/NCBC/youth/Biblestudies/baptistbelieve/godhead/godhead.html
    My first question is the default size is 800 x 600, but I want to use 1280 x 720. When I change the size nothing seems to happen. Also the themes all seem to be for 800 x 600. Can I make the bigger?

    Ok, I thing that I can hit command "Q" to make it stop.
    But here is another question: I have a movie that is 230 seconds. It will be on the first slide of the presentation. This is what I want to happen:
    • The movie starts when I click and plays for 230 seconds.
    • Line of copy #1 appears at 220 seconds.
    • Line of copy #2 appears at 230 seconds.
    • The movie and both lines of copy dissolve at next click.
    • Line #3 of copy appears when these dissolve.
    • A click takes my to the second slide.
