Achieving a Camera Flash effect in FCE HD?

Hello.
I am trying to achieve a camera flash effect in FCE HD, but I don't think there is any effect that will do this. Does anybody have any ideas of how I can go about creating my own?
Basically I have a scene where there is a group of people in the film, and I want to add sounds like a camera shutter going off, and add a corresponding number of flashes to illuminate the group for a few seconds.
Any ideas? I am sure there was an effect like this for iMovie, but I can't find any reference to that either...

I'd like to add to what Tom wrote...I find that two frames is just about right to produce the flash effect.
As for the sound, start looking on the many sound effects websites out there. I'm sure you will find it and can download it for a reasonable fee. Or you can make it yourself by recording your own camera's shutter.

  • Camera Flash Effect

    Does anyone know of an effect in FCE that will flash as a camera does when you take the picture?
    Thanks!

    Ok, Tom I am starting to feel really stupid now. I have applied and re-applied this to the clip in the timeline and yet, nothing happens! Quite frustrating to say the least. I can't understand what i am doing wrong with this. I have the clip highlighted and active in the time line. I am using the keyframe under the canvas (is there a different one I should be using?) Sometimes I have seen it working in the canvas, but after it gets done rendering the clip doesn't change. Any suggestions?
    thanks

  • How do you create a camera flash effect?

    Anyone have a work flow to create a camera flash in Motion and be able to change the color?
    I've seen a way using Bloom over in FCP but I'd like to create it in Motion.
    or do you know of a Plugin

  • Camera Flash Effect (Post Editing)

    I want to create some type of strobe that would portray as if someone were taking a picture? I want to use it is as a transition between 10 photos. Just wondering how I could do this in Motion or FCP.

  • Stabilizing A Camera Flash

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. I'm trying to stabilize footage taken at a wedding. Problem is, every time there is a flash from a camera, it throws off the stabilization analysis and the result becomes wacky. Has anyone come across this problem?
    (If it'll be easier, I can upload a video sample. Just let me know.)

    hi,
    I concur with mark. remove the flash frames, and then stabilise an export. If you stabilise the clips you will probably get the same effect as the whole length of the media clip is looked at, not just then length in your timeline. If the joins are too ragged then you could always add your own camera flash effect over the top to hide the join.

  • Effect Essentials - Camera Flash

    I used to love using this plugin but I can't seem to get it to work in FCP 6.0.5. Can anyone confirm that it is outdated and unusable? I've been toying around with Nattress' Film Flash and Eureka's Flash Cross but they're simply not the same. If anyone knows a recipe to get either of them to mimic Camera Flash I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks gogiangigo and D. Gilmore. I ended up using both your ideas to achieve the look I use to get from Camera Flash. For the first half of the transition I use FCP's Bloom filter to get the added colors in the glow. For the back half of the transition I use the stibs filter and colorize it with some orange to mute the flare. It works quite nicely. Thanks. Who do I press the 'Solved' button for?

  • How to get flash effect

    Friends,
    I have FCE 3.5.1. I sometimes insert still images in my movies. Is it possible to insert a "flash" effect that makes it appear as if a flash has gone off, leaving the image? I suppose I could do it by playing with the exposure in the timeline, but that seems cumbersome.
    Thanks!
    Steve

    You don't mean a transition, do you? If not, apply the color corrector filter to a few frames of the clip in the timeline. Keyframe the mids and whites so they go very high for a frame and then come back down.

  • Is there a way to use an off camera flash or remote flashes on a Rebel T5? (This is not a T5I)

    I have a Rebel T5 I just bought a few months ago. I like it as it is a great entry into DSLR. I will be looking at upgrading in a few months. But in the meantime, I just bought a speedlight kit (not Canon) and it came with 2 speedlights and the remote trigger and 2 remote receivers. Is there a way to enable the camera to use off camera flash? i was able to put one of the flashes on as an extrenal flash but I have not been able to figure out how to enable off camera flash.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you Skirball. It did come with a trigger. I must not have had the correct settings. When I first got the set, I put the trigger on the camera and hooked the lights to the receivers and it did not work for me. I thought I needed a special setting. But I must have had the receivers set to camera instead of flash. Once I put it on today, it worked and triggered both flash units. Incase anyone else has this issue, the kit I bought from Amazon is the Altura 2 flash kit that came with 2 speedlghts, the trigger and 2 receivers. I paid $169 for it. But when I hooked them up today and had the receivers set to Flash, they both were triggered when I pressed the shutter button.
    Thank you again.

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Camera Flash and Focus Issues

    I have 2 issues with the Camera on my Note 3:
    1) The camera flash stops working on my Note 3 even when using another application like Flashlight. I need to turn off my phone and turn it back on for it to start working.
    2) The Camera takes a long time to take pictures and the pictures are often out of focus.
    Anyone else have these issues and know a solution?
