Video effects for a horror/thriller trailer

I'm working on recutting a trailer as a different genre and I was wondering how to do a couple of effects.  How do you do the white flash on the screen(not a dip to white transition but in the middle of the clip) and the flash that shows a negative of the original image like you see in some horror/thriller trailers?

Hi owiseone,
Here's how I would construct the effect.
Create the "negative image" effect.
Apply the Invert effect: Video Effects > Channel > Invert
Try different Channel Options. I chose "Lightness."
Desaturate the colors on the negative image.
Apply a Fast Color Corrector
Take Saturation down to 0.
Adjust the Input Levels slider to taste
Make the effect flash on and off with the original clip by using the Strobe effect, or by manually adding the effect to Add Edits.
First, do the following
Copy paste the clip to V2.
Remove effects from the clip on V1.
Do either of the following to the clip on V2:
Apply the Strobe Light effect: Video Effects > Stylize > Strobe Light and adjust parameters to taste.
With the Razor tool or the Add Edit keyboard shortcut, create splices that are several frames long, create them either the same length, or random durations. Delete portions of the clip between the add edits.
Play back the effect and adjust parameters until you're happy with the effect.
Set up a range to play In to Out
Enable Loop Playback
Adjust parameters in any of the effects as they play In to Out.
Hope that helps!

  • What video effect for color desaturation? (e.g. Hue/Saturation in Photoshop)

    Hi all,
    What is the Premiere equivalent of the HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer found i Photoshop ? I am trying to slightly desaturate (about -53%) my movie to give it a more gritty look. I could easily get the look I wanted in Photoshpo by going to NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER-->HUE/SATURATION.
    Is there a similar approach for Premiere? In the Video effects folder somewhere? Thanks!

    Use the "Fast Color Corrector and "Saturation".

  • How to save video effects for title templates?

    I just started playing with Premiere Pro CS4.
    I have a beginners question, hope you don't mind:
    In my video I use a third-low title to tell the name of songs played. I put them in a bin, basically just copy the first one and change the names in the copies. But when I add them to the timeline I noticed it looks much more professional to add a video-effect where opacity goes from 0 to 100% in a second, and then the other way at the end.
    My problem is that I seem to have to do this over and over again, for each title. Is there a simple way to make one title-template, put it on the timeline, add video-effects, and then save that and make copies just changing the text in time-line? That would save me a lot of work, and the video-effects would be consistent in looks and timing.
    Thanks for any hints or tips for this newbie.

  • Which video effects for vhs lp mode?

    a single vhs tape containing six hours of video is captured to mpg format. as you can imagine, the quality is lower than one might like. studying every video effect offered by pp4 would take me a lifetime. can you suggest a few effects i might look at for improving the quality of this low quality video?
    --david (neophyte pp4 user)

    Craig's right though, I know it's a pain and will take a lot more HD space, but if you can capture as DV, make your changes, and then export to mpg the results will be much better. I made DVD's of three old VHS tapes that were multi-generation copies and decades old. They were concert videos shot from the audience with VHS, and they had faded out terribly over the years. I mostly just did some sharpening and adjusted the color, gamma, light, and contrast. I also deinterlaced with TMPGEnc while doing the mpg conversion. They all came out quite a bit better. The bigger challenge was restoring the sound.

  • Missing video effects for iMac g5 w/ external iSight cam

    I have a G5 iMac with an external iSight camera and I'm wondering why I do not have the option for video effects while using photo booth and iChat. My wife's macbook does include video effects, so my first bet is that Apple decided not to give me the option with my OS upgrade. Anyone have a way to remedy this without spending over 2K again?

    DP, he has Photo Booth and Front Row, its the effects in iChat that he can't use, and I do think that's an intel function.

  • More than one video effect for same clip?

    Is it possible to apply more than one video effect to the same clip? I know this could be done in previous versions of iMovie, but I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this task in '09!!
    Thanks!

    In general, no, you cannot do two video effects at the same time.
    However, black and white is a special case, because you can achieve this using Video Adjustments.
    You can select Aged Film and then adjust to Black and White in Video Adjustments.
    Try setting the Saturation slider all the way to the left (0%)
    Then, move the Contrast slider to the right until it is around 50%.

  • How can I install or download video effects for keying chrome?

    pudieran ayudarme a instalar en el final cut pro los efectos de video para cromar

    If you are talking about the chroma key effect, also known as green screen, this is already available in FCP X - and an excellent one. It is called the "Keyer" effect. Just drag the effect onto the green screen clip and, in many cases, nothing else is required. If you need adjustments, then the flexibility and the power is immense.
    In the example below I just took a sample video available online and dragged the keyer effect. Without any adjustments, I got a great key. Of course, getting a great key depends a lot on the quality of the green screen clip (even lighting on the green screen, good separation between the talent and the screen and more). But the keyer effect in FCP X is indeed excellent.

  • Looking for video effects

    Hello everyone:
    I'm relatively new to Adobe Premiere CS4 (although I have some experience working with digital video). I seemed to have mustered the controls for Premiere itself but what seems to be lacking in my understanding is how to create certain visual effects with it. I'm looking to create a video clip with effects like in this particular video: (Sorry for the link but it's much more easy to show it.)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePDR3Pza1_g
    What I'm looking for is this:
    1. The way they have the Id logo expand, shrink and distort in the very beginning.
    2. The "broken TV reception", or "TV-snow" effect. Also the effect how they have the picture twitch at some points.
    3. The way they implemented titles in the beginning -- "The Union Aerospace Corporation is the largest ..."
    I'm not looking for a free solution in particular, so if someone knows some third-party plug-in, or something I can integrate into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    I'm not sure if it's Premiere or After Effects, either. So I apologize if I posted it in a wrong forum.
    Thank you in advance.

    As for the picture jitter, I'm not sure I saw the appropriate effect for it, but I'll keep looking, maybe I missed something... You said there's an effect for that in AE. I don't really know it that well, so I'm curious, is it possible to take a track from PrPro, send it to AE and then back to PrPro (pretty much like with sound track and Soundbooth)?
    Depending on the version of PrPro and whether it's one of the full "suites," you can use Adobe Dynamic Link (DL) to quickly move footage into an AE Comp and back again. Each version of what was once called Production Stuido has improved the function of DL.
    Now for the jitter, I seem to recall a plug-in, something like "unsteady cam," or similar. It is just the opposite of "stabilization." Do not recall either the official name, or software company, or even if it was part of an Effects "pack."
    Speaking of which, I know it's off topic here, but do you know any idea where can I get some sound effects like in that clip? Maybe even some sound bites/background music/anything.
    Not at all OT. Here's a list of SFX and music sites. Some are free, some are for a fee:

    Also the voices in the beginning sound quite machine-like, is there a software I can use to dictate some text in?
    Audition, SoundBooth, and several other audio editing programs have similar Effects, and many more can be added, such as Reverb and Delay. There are also some free VST plug-ins that do a similar distortion. This GOOGLE Search has yielded a bunch of sites for VST's. Some free and some for a fee.
    Again, thanks for your input, you can't imagine how much time you've just saved me... As for the video I'm making, it's supposed to be a fun one. When I'm done with it (hopefully in a couple of weeks) I'll post a link here.
    No problem. If I can track down that shaky-cam/destabilizer plug-in, I'll post a link to it.
    Good luck,

  • Is it possible to set IN/OUT points for video effects within a single clip in PE4?

    Hello,
    In PE4, Is it possible to use keyframes to simply turn certain video effects on/off at different points within a single clip ?
    Some effects (i.e. Invert)have a Blend With Original setting which makes this easy to achieve, but others (i.e. Ripple)do not.
    I understand how to use keyframes to adjust effect properties at different points within a clip, I just can't find a way to simply 'turn-off' or bypass an effect for a period of time.
    Thanks All, CB

    Chris,
    As Steve points out, most Effects are OFF, by default (usually setting their parameters to 0). I just add a Keyframe for that Effect, with those properties, where you want the Effect to be OFF (but check that each Effect that you use starts as OFF, just to be sure). Then, in between the OFF settings, I add Keyframes with the desired parameters to invoke that particular Effect.
    One can also use the Razor/Sissors to cut the Clip into segments (just do not move them) to keep the Keyframes in one area of the original Clip. I usually work on the entire Clip, as once the Keyframe is set to OFF for that Effect, no more Keyframes are needed.
    Some Effects also have a Bypass setting, that can be Keyframed (in P Pro, and assume in PE). This can be handy to fully turn OFF any Effect. Note: even in P Pro, not all Effects have a Bypass setting.
    As usual with PE (and P-Pro and PS), there can be a couple of ways to accomplish the same thing. One can choose the method that suits them best.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Multiple tiling effect for one video ?

    Hi, I'm making a music video & one of the shots calls for a tiling effect for one video of a person singing. The tiles should multiply from 1 to many more (64 or so) See image:
    Just curious if there is an effect that can do this simply, as I don't have time to make 64 tracks and place each one
    Thanks!

    Jim,
    Though I have not used it, there is a "Grid Effect" in PrPro. Wonder if that might help?
    Will explore, and report.
