About a Special Effects Request Thread

Do we have any threads for requests on special effects? If not, I believe that would be a great idea.
Some of you may disagree but that's your perception.
It will allow Novices like me to get the feel of things are done when adding our effects.
What do you all think?

There you all go again. You are misconcieving what just said. Perception is perception that is all there is too it. I wrote and I am pretty clear about what I ask.
Again LaRhonde, No. I am busy and that's it I am busy. I have a son and a fiancee, which means is I can't finish up.
I just got recently sidetracked having to put my 4 year old son into school which is a pain in the rear.
In my community it is a task to put him into school due to the way the Governor runs Louisiana.
Also, again and I don't really care how many years of experience you have or anyone for that matter. Good for you.
Then you said. "there you go right there "referring to me not finishing up as to repoint out that you are correct about your judgement.
Again you are not a psychic. You don't know what I am doing every minute of the day. Also, for the record, I am still doing the tutorials. Just right now other stuff came up.
Secondly, I am new here and I don't like the hospitality that is going on. If any of you are professional as you claim to be, you should be helping me out in a professional manner.
Mylenium and Andrew Yoole cleared a little bit about helping me and we dropped it.
Let me put this in very lamen terms for you all to understand. I made a request idea for the rest of the community, "not me."
The next time you all see my screen name while I make a request, or a request that is similar to my other posts and you all have the craving to make a judgment reply to my posts. Don't reply to my posts. If you all are going to be helpful next time please be helpful but do so without judging my posts I make, otherwise I DON'T want to hear it!

Question about a special effect

Hi
My friend did a special shadow effect using the non-professional program Microsoft Publisher. Here's a quick link I made to see a sample:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddvbfm3w_1fg3sqqd3
There must be a way to do this in InDesign CS4. Can anyone help?
Otherwise, I'll post this on the Illustrator forum.
Thanks.

>There must be an easier way.
How about Illustrator? That's designed for doing stuff exactly like this, whereas InDesign is a text and illustrations layout app.
While it surely is
i possible
to do stuff like this exclusively using InDesign (perhaps with the help of a script, here and there), but it's far easier to use each of the applications of the design suite for what they're meant for.

Videos and special effects... (?)

Okay I just found these.. they are great! But I was wondering... is anyone else having issues when filming either backlit or in the snow?
My vids are... as best described... "mucky" looking!
Is there not an option to increase the contrast or to 'vivid color' saturate the look?
Thanks...
===== and for those that do not know about the special effects: =====
Chapter 5 Using the Video Camera page:53
Recording Video with Special Effects
You can record video with a variety of special effects on iPod nano.
Note: Video effects can only be selected before recording. iPod nano can’t add effects
to or remove effects from recorded videos. You can’t change video effects settings
while recording.
To record video with special effects:
1 Choose Video Camera from the main menu.
2 Press and hold the Center button to display the video effects palette.
3 Use the Click Wheel to browse the effects, and press the Center button to select one.
The viewfinder screen appears with the selected effect.
4 Press the Center button again to start recording with video effects.
5 Press the Center button to stop recording.
If you exit the Video Camera screen to play back your video, video effects are turned
off. To resume recording with a video effect, repeat steps 2 through 4.

Okay, why am I the only one who couldn't figure out how to get Special Effects with my video camera? The User Manual instructions: see pg 7, which is correct and pg 53-54 seem to be written incompletely; and (as I read them) indicate that with "Video Camera" on the screen, the center black button should be held down, thus providing the choices of Special Effects. WRONG. What does provide the array of Special Effects, is to select Video Camera (with the black center button), opening the lens of the camera. Before recording begins, hold the center black button down until the Special Effects are displayed, THEN select one and begin recording with it by quickly depressing the black center button. To end, again depress the black center button.

Special Effects / Graphics software

I'm not even sure what you call it. Graphics? When it comes to titling, I feel really limited in the impact I can create with Elements 11. What supplemental graphics programs do people use??
Thanks!

Audio special effects in Pr12

I'm back! I want to add the "reverb" audio special effect to an audio clip I have. [using Premiere Elements 12 on a WinPro7 computer]. This is what I've done:
click on the audio clip
open special effects and open audio special effects
click on 'reverb' (the outline is now blue) and drag the reverb box onto the audio clip.
The effect is on/in the clip (can check it with 'adjust special effects'), BUT when the clip is played, there is a ratcheting noise. I have tried the "delay" effect as a diagnostic tool, and it added just fine. It's just not the effect I want.
Ideas any one?
Thank you.
retchemteach

Hello,
I'm sorry to have waited so long to reply. I guess the holidays got in the way....and, football. And, now I have 3 topics.
ONE
I tried MANY things about the REVERB effect with no success....either (1) I could not hear that the reverb was working (and, I've used it before in Pr4 and could tell a difference) or (2) that ratcheting noise was still there.
The main thing I did was create new (test) Pr12 files with only the audio that was the problem or with other audios [i.e. songs 'ripped' from purchased CDs, purchased songs from iTunes (either MP3 or WAV formats), sound effects I have from many various sources, including the ones that come with Pr12]. No help. Soooo, if I MUST have reverb on an audio clip, I think I'll just use my XP machine and its Pr4 and then export that audio clip to use in the Pr12 file...if that works, and I think it would. Thank you for that help.
TWO
To continue a thread we had about file size and DVD disc capacity.....I have included 2 screen shots....the first one is to show the file size I just burned on a 4.7 GB DVD.
You can see that the file is 5.587 GB.
Now, here is what the screen showed me in Pr12 when I was preparing to burn the disc.....notice that the "fit contents" box is UNchecked, and I slid the button to the right for HIGHEST quality. Notice it says "space required" is 1.64 GB. This is what I was trying to get across when several of us were discussing "file size" vs disc capacity. Does this mean I can put more on a given disc? That would be cool if I could.
THREE
And, last but not least, is there a way to reduce the volume of the MENU volume if it comes with its own audio? I am using "Outdoor Adventure", and its volume is INTENSE versus what I have mixed in the file. I have looked in my Pr manual, but it doesn't say much. I guess I should first look in the forum for the answer to this, but I'm spoiled with your terrific help.
Have a good day, and thank you.

How to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?

how to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?
kindly recommend me any best one and tel me step by step how i will add more plugins n filters

A Plug_in normally come with an installer or install instructions. Check the documentation for the plug-in you trying to install. It sounds like you don't know what plug-ins you want to install. In that case you don't need to install any. At some point you may read about a plug-in and what it can do and feel you have a need for it. Then you will have a reason to install a plug-in that is not installed by default. There may also be a cost involved most worthwhile plug-ins are not free.
Adobe Optional Plug_ins downloads are Plugins Adobe want to remove from Photoshop and no longer install by default. Also at some point in time these will no longer install into the current Photoshop for Adobe will remove feature or interfaces the use. For example the CS5 optional plugins will install in Windows CS6 perpetual version 13.0.1.3 but not in Subscription version 13.1.2 or perpetual Mac version 13.0.6 fot its 64bit only and the Mac CS5 optional plug-in for Picture package is only a 32bit plug-in.
You will need to keep and maintain old versions of Photoshop if Adobe remove features you use in new versions of Photoshop.

I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO ADD SPECIAL EFFECTS TO MY MOVIES

Hi i am making a video using a green screen. I used to be able to double click my video on the project bin and choose a special effect such as romantic or black and white. Now i can no longer do this. It brings up video stabalization, audio and video where you can change the color and contrast but no special effects. I have tried both on project bin and importing. I can add special effects to text but not video. Could this be because of green screen effect or length of video?? This is before and after adding a background for the green screen. I am sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything on this.

Quit the Videos app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work - try this. Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

Style sheets (paragraph and character) not coping Special Effects

Couple of questions about ID CS3. I have been really digging into the guts of the application and can appreciate how powerful it is.
I am having a couple of problems and don't know if it is me or the app.
1. I can not get a NEW Paragraph or Character Style Sheet to copy the Special Effects (specifically the drop shadow and inner glow).
I have tried both by using the eye dropper, and the highlighting etc but nothing works. What am i missing?
2. Also, how can I change the Drop Shadow Distance from the default (.1375in) to something else (ie., .05)? Same thing for the Angle. I also want to change the Distance and Angle for the Inner Glow. I looked in Preferences but could not fine them there. I am afraid to ask when do I use them for Object and when for the text....I will figure that one out by playing with it.
3. And finally, how do I isolate moving an object. Even though the boundary boxes show up that I have a specific object selected, when I put the mouse in there to move it, some object underneath it moves. This is probably some technique I am not doing correctly.
I absolutely love this application and will appreciate any help in the above questions.
Thanks,
bob

Hmmmmmm not too sure what you are saying here (faking my way through applying it to a paragraph and anchored objects).
Lets say I have the following:
Chef Salad
We use the freshest lettuce, tomatoes..... bla bla bla
I wanted the name of the menu item (Chef Salad) to be 30 pt, Times New Roman, Red text (no container fill), drop shadow.
Lets also say I want the description (the Bla bla bla) to be 15 pt, Arial, Green text, and small drop shadow.
From what I understood you to say(write), I would have to make a Object style for Chef Salad (and I guess another Object style for the description)given that I want to use special effects.
What has been one of the more confusing things about ID (and believe me, I have been watching hours and hours of Lynda.com, Youtube, and reading a book/DVD on the subject) is when to use paragraph styles, Character styles and now Object styles.
Changing the parameters on these styles is not (to me) the difficulty. When and where to use a particular style is.
I don't want to keep bugging you so if you have someplace that really gets into the proper place and time to use these styles I will go there (if I haven't been there already).
However, if it is pretty easy for you to elaborate some more, that too would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks Bob
PS Nice looking web site you have.... I am up there viewing it now.

IMovie special effects gone with 08?

are the special effects from imovie gone? im talking about where you can put clips in slow motion and reverse them, do lightning effects, and mirror. i cant figure out how to get to them if they're still there.

i just imported some of my old clips from iMovie 06. it stripped them of the effects though, thats why i wanted to know how to add them again and everywhere i've looked they're saying that there aren�t any right now. i might ask apple if they plan on adding them and will it be a free upgrade because i know more people than me are hurt by this lack of effects
as for making new projects, i clicked the "+" in the bottom left hand corner, and it let me create a new project. they keep all of your old clips in the same "bank" though, they're not separate. but unfortunately they don't keep your movies how they were the old iMovie, they give you bare clips. you have to make them again, unless you had effects, then you cant because of the obvious.

How can I get the special effects for my iMac?

I noticed one day while watching a You Tube video that someone had these neat special effects when they would click on something I could see a red (radar) circle like. Anyone know what I am talking about.

It's available in Photobooth, click on effects.
Also available in iChat video

Help with virtix special effects

i have been searching for special effect plugins for imovie. I finally found the one for me. Its called virtix arsenal pack. Sadly their store has been closed for a long time for repairs. It seems they have disapeared. Does anyone know if they have a new site or if there is something similar to the product i mentioned?

Hi pdxlife, I never get to help anyone! Finally....here goes. I just went to the site you were talking about. It is up and running and the special effect that you mentioned Virtix Arsenal is by far my favorite. I use it all the time.
Try and copy and paste this link into your browser. Should take you right there. I hope I finally helped someone!

Special effects (without 3rd party plugins)

Hi,
So, I am now happy with time manipulartion (using Twixtor), workflow for my project (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4728201#4728201) and the new PC hardware that we have. I am now coming to the point where the few actual special effects we want for out project need to be investigated. Most of the project will be Green screen compositing work of our characters in their sets, and I am pretty comfortable with creating space scenes in AE - there are hundreds, if not thousands of tutorials on that one - and some of the scenes will have them walking around "real life" environments. The bulk of the effects I forsee now, will be Fire, Smoke, Clouds and rocks.
Fire and smoke, I am busy looking towards either recodring our own footage, or purchasing footage from Video CoPilot or someone - my actual qustion is, can I create realistic looking rocks in AE without any third party plug ins? Say for instance, a volcano erupts, and I want rocks blowing and falling around - can this be done believable without a dedicated 3D program? If so, does anyone have a link to some tutorials on it, or even just an idea of where I can start?
Thanks guys,
Pierre

Hi Guys,
thanks for all the replies - once again (and I guess I knew this before I posted the question - but thought that squeezing my eyes shut and clipping my heels together might allow a different outcome) I see that the answer is completely dependant on what it is I want After Effects to do for me. I have been in the IT industry for many many years now, but never have I come accross a piece of software quite as versatile and far ranging as After Effects! I am learning every day, and enjoying every moment of it (although it starts getting a liitle overwhelming and scary at times). I am going to spend this week runnign through trapcode tutorials, so that I can figure out exactly what the products can do, and then I have arranged a team sit down next week to check through each and every script, make a list of effects required, and balance that out against what I have learned form the products. I will look at a few other products as well, not just Red Giant. I'll admit off the bat, I love Video CoPilots stuff, simply because the Andrew makes the demos and tutorials look so darn good and interresting - wether we would ever use a fresh apple element, with a mercury texture...who knows - but I still want it!
Anyway, thanks again - you have all given me tons of places to go and look, and after a week or so, if my brain has not exploded form all the input, Ill add a small outcome to the thread - for interrest sake.

ID CS3 Transparency weirdness with text/special effects

Okay, I was putting together a brochure for my job today and noticed this oddity. I placed a text box w/text over a stock photo and printed it out - everything was fine. Then I added a drop shadow to the text and all of a sudden the photo became rather desaturated.
Just in case this was some sort of weirdness with that particular document, I created a new document, placed several photos on a page, and then created a text box and applied a drop shadow. All the photos on the page again noticeably lost saturation, and here's the weird part, the text box didn't even touch any of the photos. It only appears to affect items on the same page - items on other pages are unaffected.
It seems whenever you have an object or text frame on a page with transparency or a special effect like a drop shadow, all the photos on the page lose about 20% saturation.
Am I missing something that I can compensate for, or is this a bug/feature?

I'm using shadows and transparency overlays in my InDesign CS3 application. When I output that file to a press resolution pdf file, it appears fine. However, when the digital printer runs the project, the transparency disappears and i get white boxes in the place of transparent boxes.
The print provider is a non-offset source and is using some other RIP to process the file. Is the transparency feature posing a problem in the offset invironment?

Waiting request threads in 6.0 SP2

we have noticed that in some situations, over time, the number of available request threads will drop, and the number of
current requests will rise!
pretty normal stuff, but once in a while they do not return to the waiting request pool, and the the current request
never seems to go away.
naturally this could be explained by setting up pages which never return. we stayed always from that!
requests that never returned. we also managed to avoid that.
but still over time, some requests never seem to get answered, the request threads never get back to the pool, and
eventually the number of available threads declines, till there are none.
is there a reporting mechanism within iPlanet to help diagnose these situations? perhaps giving stackcrawls of all
current request threads from the kjs at any given time. one option of of course to use -Xrunhprof with the VM to catch
threads in contention under Solaris. but are there other possibilities?
iPlanet seems to have a dearth of internal reporting tools.

You didn't give the specs on the boxes but 300 threads is probably way too
high. Here's a good rule of thumb:
NT/1CPU = 14 free exec threads when idle (use ctrl-break to verify)
NT/2CPU = 28 free exec threads when idle
SolSparc/2CPU = 48 free exec threads when idle (use kill -3 to verify)
SolSparc/4CPU = 96 free exec threads when idle
Note that some exec threads get gobbled by WL itself so after setting the
value you need to figure out how many you actually have available. For
example, if you set it to 15 you may end up with only 10 which means your
expectation is 33% off reality.

We are getting out-of-memory errors on solaris using 6.0 SP2. We are
seeing the heap size just grow and grow at a steady pace as the
application is stressed tested using load runner. The tests simulate
only about 30-60 users with a fairly light workload. We've run basically
the same tests on NT without the memory problems so I'm wondering if it
has anything to do with our env. We've basically trimed the script to
do just login/logout and the heap grows to over 600MB in about 2 hours.
We've poured over our login/logout code and can't find any places where
we are holding onto memory. Just before the process runs out of memory
we get a log of full gc messages that take about 30 seconds with no
significant change in the heap size. Their are 4 instances running with
a 1GB heap and 300 execute threads each (2 weblogic instances on a
box). Could the heap size/execute thread be causing problems? I think
the heap and execute thread size is a bit excessive given there are only
50 db connections. I'd like to hear anyone's opinion on this problem
and our settings. Thanks.

Photobooth special effect not displaying properly

Recently I have been having issues with just the Pop Art special effect in Photobooth. Only 1 of the 4 squares is working, the other 3 squares are just yellow. (See the link at the bottom for what it looks like). All the other effects are working fine and everything else about my built-in iSight seems to work.
Any ideas on what happened to my Pop Art effect?

I know there is a fix for this but can not remember what is is right this second. A search did not prompt me either.
