Are there 3rd party effects plugins available as part of the cloud or do I have to buy them?

Are there 3rd party effect plugins available as part of the Creative Cloud membership or do I have to buy them directly from the provider? I like a lot of the stuff I see on Video Copilot. I'm new here and my guess is I have to buy them there, but want to make sure I'm not overlooking something here.

There are a lot of plug-ins available in AE and I would highly recommend learning the basics before you start buying 3rd party effects. Without a really good understanding of how AE works, what the UI is used for, and getting a bit of a handle on how to compose and edit animations you're going to be just parking your investment for a while until you learn how to use AE. I could easily fill up the two or three semesters in a Masters program at a university with nothing more than what comes with AE.
If you have a very specific need for a very specific effect and your are under a deadline then it's often advisable to purchase a effect, but if you are intent on learning how to animate, composite and create magic then just about anything you have seen can be created with the standard set of plug-ins.

  • Are there 3rd party web cams that work with Mac?

    I bounght an iMac G5 just before iSight was built in. Recently I went to but the iSight camera, but it is no longer sold seperately. Tried an off-the-shelf Logitech cam but to no avail. Is there a 3rd party cam that will work????

    Check http://www.applechat.info/
    P.S. And considering you have no MacBook Pro according to your profile, and it has its own built-in iSight, you might seriously want to consider posting further questions about your machine in the appropriate forum, if I can't answer them. First determine if your iMac is indeed a G5:

  • Are there any ill effects for turning up brightness all the way?

    Are there are any ill effects or long term effects if you turn up and leave the monitor's brightness at full? I'm not worried about the battery draining or anything, I'm just wondering if it wouldn't be as bright two years down the road compared to if just always left the brightness at it's automatic setting. Thanks for your help,
    Tom

    Having your display at full brightness does speed up the natural decay of your display's maximum brightness over time. So, someone who has their display at 50% all of the time will have a better maximum brightness after two years than someone who had their display at 100% over the same period.
    However, I would suggest you just use your display as you want to. I normally have mine at 75% as 100% is actually too bright for me.

  • How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

    First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it.  All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this?  I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
    Thanks!

    Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
    But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

  • Does JSE support 3rd-party compatible plugin?

    Does JSE support 3rd-party compatible plugin?

    Netbeans does provide this functionality. Netbeans is designed to be extensible and there are several plugins (from netbeans and other third party vendors) available that are documented at:
    http://www.netbeans.org/catalogue/index.html
    Since JSE is based on netbeans, one should be able to use these modules in jse.
    Some modules are design to run only on specific versions of nb and these can only be used in jse versions that are based on that nb version. For instance, jse8 will only support plugins written for nb41.
    Please note that such modules are not certified for jse so should be used on as-is basis. But in theory all nb41 plugins should run fine in jse8.

  • Unable to install 3rd party Effects

    I have attempted to install a couple of different 3rd party effects. Most recently from BorisFX.
    The install appears to work properly, but when I look under Effects in FCE 4, they are not listed.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    Once downloaded, you need to place the effect in the appropriate folder in order for FCE to recognize it. There are two different types of plugins that work with FCE4, FxScript and FxPlug.
    For a FxScript Plugin, you need to place it in one of the following two folders (either one will work):
    +User > Library > Preferences > Final Cut Express User Data > Plugins+
    or
    +Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Final Cut Express Support > Plugins+
    For a FxPlug Plugin, you need to put it in this folder:
    +Macintosh HD > Library > Plug-Ins > FxPlug+
    Once the plugin is placed in the appropriate location FCE should recognize it and you can locate it in the Effects folder within the program.

  • Is there an After Effects Plugin project template/skeleton for Qt Creator?

    Is there an After Effects Plugin project template/skeleton for Qt Creator?
    I mean, Qt is considered to be cross platform and it would be handy if you provided a sample plugin project since Adobe targets multiple platforms.
    (I don't like Qt Creator either, but in order to make a cross-platform plugin I guess I have to go down this path...)

    No, there is not. It's a good feature request, though:

  • Is there a pitch correction plugin available for garageband?

    Is there a pitch correction plugin available for garageband?

    For the record, I've been using Melodyne in GB for a couple of years now and couldn't get along without it. Had a singer scheduled for four songs that I needed finished demos for in two days. He came recommended, but I'd never actually heard him. turns out he had a voice like Robert Preston, if Robert Preston couldn't carry a tune or keep time. I was facing total failure. But I went ahead and recorded him, warts and all and hoped Melodyne would be up to the task. I even recorded part of one song in B-flat because he was stronger in that key than in G, which is what my other singer had recorded in.
    Melodyne turned four utterly unworkable, unusable tracks into decent representations. I was even able to engineer harmony lines that were never recorded. It gives you more editing ability for singing tracks than you get with midi notes.
    It's worth the price.

  • As far as I know, the iPad cannot presently playback a full length movie from a DVD or any other source.  Are there any plans to add such a capability to the iPad in the future?

    Phil0124:  Sorry, I guess that I may not have communicated clearly initially.  The reason that I asked about the DVD reading capability in the first place is that I would like to be able to watch a movie "stand-alone" (like on an airplane) on my iPad without having an internet connection.  If VUDU is strickly a streaming service that wouldn't satisfy my needs after all.  After looking into the iTunes store offerings, I can see that I can either purchase a movie or rent one from them.  Either way, as I understand it, the content would then reside in a file in the iTunes folder in my computer (if rented, this would just be temporarily) and could be viewed on my computer and/or transferred to my iPad for viewing.  Considering the legal question, isn't there a copy being made and transferred into my possession.  So,what's up with that?
    Yes Vudu streams. iTunes does not. If you buy or rent a movie on your computer through the iTunes store, then you are legally entitled to transfer that movie to your digital device as long as that device is under the Same Apple ID used to download it to the computer, and is authorized to view the content. Usually this is the case if your device is synced with iTunes on the computer  This is legal and covered by the terms of use of the iTunes store.   
    If your rent a movie on your computer you can also transfer it to your iPad but it will be removed from the computer as rentals can only exist in one place at a time. When the rental period expires the movie will be automatically removed from your computer or device, wherever it is when the rental period expires.
    If you buy a movie on your iPad these can be transferred to your computer using the Transfer Purchases button on iTunes on your computer while the iPad is connected to it.   Rentals on iPads or other mobile device cannot be transferred and must be watched in the iPad or device that download them.
    All of these methods through the iTunes store download the complete movie to the device or computer, so no internet connection is required for watching at a later date.
    Rentals have a 30 day life as long as they haven't begun to be watched.  Once the movie has been started then it has a 48 hour expiry period. That is you must finish watching the rented movei within 48 hours of rental as after that it is removed from the device.  You can watch it as many times as you want in that period of time though.

    Purchased movies are yours, and never expire. If you delete the movie from your device or computer it can be re-downloaded at no extra cost provided the Movie is still available in the store.

  • ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app?

    ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app file not overwrite the previous one at itunes?

    In my opinion it is best to use one Apple ID on your computer and iPad. Using multiple IDs causes confusion.
    I also suggest that each person with their own iOS device have their own unique Apple ID. On the computer create different accounts for each user so that iTunes on each account can be associated with the correct Apple ID.

    While I suppose someone may respond, as previously suggested, contact the Apple Store in LA. You are far more likely to get accurate information that way as opposed to a post here.
