Adding Blood Effect

Im making a history movie and I have these quick time clips of explosions of blood hitting the camera. How could i combine this with the video that I have now?? Thanks

I think we would need to see them in order to give advice.
If you can't post them on YouTube etc. you could make a still screen-shot to show what they look like.
A website like Photobucket can enable you to post pictures:-

Why is a layer blending mode result altered by adding and effect?

I've done a search online and haven't come up with an answer but does anyone
know why a layers blending mode result is altered by adding an effect?
I am using CS3 on a PC (Windows XP SP2) and have two layers; one a Tiff and
a second a text layer with an ambient light and a spot shining on them. Both
layers have 3D turned on and accept lights and are in the same position in
space.
To make the text, which is coloured black, sit better I changed the layers
blend mode to soft light which works well.
I wanted to soften the edge of the text a little so I added a Fast Blur
effect and suddenly the result of the blend was completely different. If I
turn off the effect it goes back to what it was before but even if the Fast
Blur is set to zero, ie no blur on the layer, the blend result is altered.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Many thanks for that. I tried the Box Blur but it too shifted the result of the blend. In the end, to get this job out of the door, I changed the colour of the text to orange, lowered the opacity and used Multiply as the layer blend mode. Adding the Fast Blur effect to this didn't shift the result of the blend mode. It's not as sexy a look as using Soft Light but it works. I wonder if it's something going on with the maths or this a real bug? <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Presumably a bug that uses the blur's convolution kernel when it > shoulddn't.

Noise after adding visual effects or tranisition

Hi there!
I recently edited a movie with iMovie. After adding some effects or transitions I noticed a strange noise (some kind of crackling).
Here are my questions:
How can I restore the original clips? I saved and closed that project before I noticed that crackling.
How can I avoid that noise when adding effects or transitions?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
After adding some effects or transitions I noticed a strange noise (some kind of crackling). How can I avoid that noise when adding effects or transitions?
Unfotunately, that is a known problem with iMovie sometimes. See this:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107945
How can I restore the original clips?
Remove any transitions on either side of the clip you wish to restore. Click on the clip. Under 'Advanced' you should see the option to 'restore original clip.' Just select that and the entire clip from which that part came will replace it.

Looking for adding machine effect seen in "Supersize Me"

Does anyone know if you can do the following effect in Motion 3:
I'm trying to do an adding machine effect where you see figures change like you would on altimeter of an aircraft or an adding machine. I saw this effect in Morton Spurlock's "Supersize Me".
There must be some Motion 3 behavior or plug-in that can do this.
Thanks very much in advance,
- Nicholas

altimeter of an aircraft or an adding machine< </div>
Altimeters are usually analog dials. Adding machine would be an analog paper tape.
There are many cool gauge objects in Motion 3 and designing a paper tape simulation could be fun.
No idea how you would create a behavior to run the displays, though. (Easy in After Effects with an expressions control)

Why am I getting a delay on one of my tracks when I have added no effects?

Why am I getting a delay on one of my tracks when I have added no effects? It sounds like a latency problem.

AVI should never be used for iDVD. Even Microsoft abandoned AVI and moved to WMV. The reason for this is that AVI is limited to 2 GB is file size and has limited video codec support. If you have problems with AVI in iDVD, convert it to Quicktime right away.

Adding an effect to a portion of an audio file?

Hello,
For years now I've been using FCP and when STP was first released it seemed wonderful, but very convoluted, so I ended up doing all my audio mixing within FCP.
Recently I've decided to really nail STP and get it incorporated into my workflow, but the old frustrations have appeared immediately, which is why I never continued using it originally.
One problem I'm encountering is this:
I have a recording of a band, which when I open in STP appears on one long timeline. I've added markers where the songs stop/start etc, and deleted bits between the songs. When I save this file I can open it in a project file.
I then use 'S' to split the main track, chopping up the songs and placing them in their own tracks.
My confusion arises when I want to add a touch of reverb to one song.
If i highlight one song on a track, and go to Process>Effects>Reverb/Delay, non of the options are selectable, so I double-click the audio clip/waveform on a track and it opens in the audio timeline (no separate tracks, just 2 large waveforms Left&Right), here I can apply the reverb to the audio file, but it applies the effect to the whole audio file (1 hour long) not the individual song I want.
So... I can drag the playhead to make a selection with the master audio file, ie, select the individual song, and apply the reverb.
Is this the correct workflow? It seems like quite a convoluted process just to add a touch of reverb to one song on my master timeline with all the different tracks.

You shouldn't apply the process to the file, because as you've discovered it will affect all of the other regions of the file in your project.
Either add a reverb to each individual track in the mixer, or better yet to save on resources Add a Bus. On the Bus insert a Reverb. Now on any of the audio tracks you can Add a Send. By adjusting the level of the send of the signal from any channel to the Bus with the reverb you can add as much or as little as you like to each individual track.

Adding one effect to all clips in project

I Just need to know how to add the unsharp mask to every clip In my project at once.

EFfects are added to layers in the comp, not clips in the project window. Unless you already have them all in a comp and could use this comp as a layer in another comp, you will have to apply the effect individually with whatever means you deem best Like saving a preset and applying it or usi gcopy&paste.

Imported MP4 HD vid. Added text effects. Want to reexport in same quality. How?

I own a:
Model #: p6140f
Product #: NP192AA-ABA
Software Build #: 93NAv6PrA2
PCBRAND: HP Pavilion
I imported an MP4 HD (1080p) video. I then added some text effect layers, and want to export the comp in 1080p as well. Yet, when I try File > Export > MPEG-4 I always get low quality, audioless files.
Comp settings: Pixel Aspect Ratio- HD 1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1.33), Resolution - Full (1920 x 1080, 7.9 MB 8bpc frame.
When I export to MP4, I have the option of file format: MP4 or MP4 (ISMA).
When I select MP4, My video format choices are: None, MPEG-4 Basic, MPEG-4 Improved or H.264. Data Rate: Optional (256 kbt/s stardard). Image Size: anywhere from 160 x 120, 176 x 144 QCIF, or what I want, 1920 x 1080 HD. Frame Rate: 8-60 or custom.
When I select MP4 (ISMA). My video format choices are: None, MPEG-4 Basic or MPEG-4 Improved. Data Rate: Again Optional (256 kbt/s stardard). Image Size: anywhere from 160 x 120 to 352 x 288 CIF. Frame Rate: 8-30 or custom.
Additionally, none of these MP4 files feature sound either.
What is going on here, and how can I correct these problems?
If you need more info don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks,
Yakshire

how can I correct these problems?
You need to read the help, plain and simple:
Basics of rendering and exporting
You don't use Export, you use the Render Queue and Adobe's native H.264/ MP4 encoders.

Adding Text Effects to Photos in iMovie 09

I am making a movie in iMovie 09 from photos. I have 940 pictures with lead in effects and text over the pictures. I have not added music yet and am about half way through the 940 photos and iMovie will not allow me to add text to any more pictures. Is their a limit on how many pictures can be in the show? the movie is currently 1 hr and 10 minutes long. Possibly their is a time limit? Any suggestions are welcome.....

blakespot,
Make sure you click in the margin away from the main text body to avoid accidentally pasting or creating the text box inline.
You can also select the text box and go:
+Inspector > Wrap (3rd tab) > Object Placement > Floating+
To make the picture and caption stick together, select both:
+Menu > Arrange > Group+

Adding some effects

Hello out there. I have a question regarding an effect I would like to apply to a clip in my footage. I have a kid whose laying down in his back yard playing with a toy truck when he notices a flicker of light coming from the viewfinder of a film camera. Currently there is no flicker coming from the viewfinder but I want to create a flicker that looks like it is coming from inside the viewfinder and a soft glow around the eyepiece. Is there a way to accomplish this in FCP? Thanks
Erv

Can you describe exactly how the shot will be composed? Is this a close-up of a camera viewfinder?
Sorry, I'm not up to writing a step-by-step walkthrough right now, but here's the general approach I use for creating effects similar to yours.
First, I'd take a frame-grab into Photoshop and make an alpha-mask by cutting-out the viewfinder (and adding a fuzzy diffused glow around it wherever you want your flickering light to extend), maybe with some heavier shapes or voids corresponding to where the glow would be the strongest or be blocked by an object. Then I'd bring the image into FCP and use it as an alpha mask to composite a noise generator over the footage (in a nest with a Screen or Overlay composite mode). I'd probably have to blur it and adjust its opacity, as well as nest it with a duplicate static generator to which I'd applied the blink filter.
Have fun,
Zap

I was able to get it loaded. This was a great video. I love the way you explain stuff. Very professional.
I just downloaded LR4 for trial. I have CS5, and have been using CS for a while (CS2,3 and 5). I have a couple of questions for you:
1. I also have Picasa for organizing photos. Do you see the need to have both Picasa and LR?
2. What is the advantages of LR when you have CS? For example, I have Curve Plugins in CS5 that I would like to use in LR. I don't see a way to do that. So I end up having to do further editing in CS5. LR seems to add tasks to my workflow. Maybe I need to learn more. What are you thoughts?

Help with adding video effects.

Okay, so I am very new with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and decided to start working with video effects.
So far I can add an effect onto a video clip that I dragged down from the source monitor, but that applies the effect to the whole video track. I want it to start and end at a certain point.
I have read the Adobe Help Viewer on effects many times over and over, but still, I cannot get it to work.
I have set in and out put points in my Timeline, and went into the effects controls and peaked around, but have had no success at all with getting my effect to start and end at a certain point.
Can anyone help me out a little bit? I'm sure you are all Pro's at this, haha.

Adding an effect to a TextInput Control

Is there any way to show the text in a TextInput control as though it was being typed in by a user? I have a TextInput defined as follows:
<mx:TextInput id="message2Input"
 width="100%" height="40"
 text="Type Message Here..."
 fontSize="18"
 maxChars="10"
 />
I can change the string value for message2Input.text elsewhere in my mxml application. When I do, that text will be displayed in the control. But it gets displayed in its entirety, instantly. I need to have it displayed as if it was typed for reasons related to a customer demo. So if the string is "Dexter, a very interesting guy", I want it to appear incrementally as
D
D-e
D-e-x
etc etc.
I don't seem to find any control effects for TextInput that allow this when I search the discussion forums. Does anyone have an example where they have done this programmatically? I tried changing message2Input.text within a for loop, "growing" the display text with each loop until the entire string has been "typed in". But I still only see the final complete text string. I suspect this is because the TextInput control only handles one event, and won't loop through a series of re-posts in an event handler. But I'm new to this, and only guessing here.
This is the private function in my Flex mxml app that I use to post the message to the TextInput display:
protected function _insert_chat_item_0(): void
 // this sets the delay to display of the next IM item in the sequence...
 aoTimers.push(setTimeout(_insert_chat_item_1, 2000));
 // this sets the text that appears in the "I'm typing text" window...
 // TODO: can we make this appear like it is being typed? Have tried everything, with no luck
 message2Input.text = "Dexter, a very interesting guy";
 } // _insert_chat_item_0 for demo: Tom types in his initial message to John
Thanks very much.

Try using Jumpeye components. They provide swcs for flex use. Lot of effects and animations are present.

Adding an effect to a sound, not the entire track

Hey All, I am looking to simply add a effect to a single sound, not the entire track, is that possible with Logic? I am coming from pro tools, and I know I was able to do that there, I was hoping I could do the same here. Thanks so much!

By add effect, I assume you mean add some delay or reverb one one particular note or word. Several ways to do this. Put the effect plug-in on a bus return, and then automate the send level to come up/down for that one incident.
Another way would be to make a 2nd track (audio or midi), Insert the effect on that track, and cut the phrase or note, and move down to that 2nd track. So the whole track would be dry, and that one word, note, would have the effect on the next track.
Make sure levels are similar

HELP! Adding video effects

Alright, so I am new to Macs, I just got my first for Christmas. It's the newest model Macbook. I'm using iMovie 08, and for some reason I just can't figure out how to add effects. I've watched the tutorial video numerous times, and it says "it's so easy, just double click on the video" blah blah blah. In the tutorial video it shows a box pop up and there you can select "add effect" or something of the sort. Now, when I double click my videos in the project area, it just plays the video starting where I double clicked. I thought I was following the tutorial to a T, but I suppose I'm wrong. Please help!!

The effects are in iMovie 09, which has not been released yet. It will be released in stores in a week or two.
