  • How to Blur License Plate Tags in Video?

    I video of my car at the local race track that I'm cutting up for a project and would like to blur out my license plate tag. In some parts, my car is centered in the video and in others, it's moving around in the frame. How can I go about doing this in Premiere Pro CS3? I'm running on Windows, if it matters. I tried searching and couldn't come up with anything. It's been a while since I've used Premiere so be easy on me. Thanks in advance for any help.

    there are hundreds of examples and tutorials on the web.

  • Apply effect to an area of the video - eg, blur a license plate

    Hello,
    Is it possible to apply an effect to an area on the screen? Eg blur a license plate or someone's face?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Yes it's possible to apply any effect on area of a clip only. Simply duplicate the footage in timeline, apply the filter and use a 4 or 8 point garbage matte to isolate the desired portion.
    For blur/witness protection, there are many free plugins on the WEB that apply witness protection/blur on the clip like Andy's region blur:

  • Blur out license plates in shots?

    I am working on a car and driver series and need to blank out license plates. I was using a color matte, matching the color of the plate in the shot and distorting it over the plate but my client wants the plates just blurred out. I can't do the same thing with a blurred matte because it doesn't blur and I can't distort a copied and blurred overlay of the same shot. Is there anything in FCP that can allow me to keyframe a blur over these plates or is it only an after effects job. Keep in mind that a simple box won't do. I have to keyframe a shape over the plates as the shot moves.
    Thanks

    You can take a lookat the demo movies from CHV on the MotionTracker-collection. http://www.chv-plugins.com/movies1.html
    And then download a demo plugin here: http://www.chv-plugins.com/motion.html

  • How do i deblur a license plate

    how do i deblur a license plate

    Hi there -
    It's extremeley difficult to reverse a blur, expecially one that intentionally hides something like a license plate.
    Most tutorials that I found online deal with sharpening slightly blurred photos using the smart sharpen filter, which you can access by going to Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen. When I tried using this method on an extremely blurred photo, I got very sub-par results. It might be worth a try, but not necessarily a perfect solution.
    Your issue is probably better suited for the general Photoshop forum. The folks over there have many years of experience with Photoshop and may have a solution for you. You can find the forum here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/general

  • Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?

    Is there a way to make a long clip into a short clip without compressing it any further?
    I went through all my old formats (VHS, hi8, miniDV, etc) and captured them. They end up as .mov files. Some of the longer 2hr ones are about 28GB.
    If I am making a new project and I want to edit in short clips from several of these longer files, is there a way to save a short clip from an existing file without compressing it any further?
    In other words, lets say I have 10 2hr files, but I know I only want 1 minute from each. Is there a way to select the good 1 minute from each .mov file that I want to use and a version of this 1 minute from each in the folder I am working on the project in, without compressing them??? I like to keep all of the content I am working with on a project in its own folder in case the project needs to be moved from one hard drive to the next while I am working on it. I would hate to have to make a folder that is 280GB or more when I only need a minute from each larger file.
    I hope I have asked this in a way that is understandable. Maybe there is a term for what I want to do, that I don't know yet that has its own help section too.   Thanks for any assistance

    Thanks Jon - That's kind of where I started, but the part of that I need help with on is the second to last step.
    "Export using a codec that matches the source material. "
    The codec they were captured in is .mov at DV quality, but then after picking .mov, there are so many other options to choose from as far as compression goes from sound quality and settings, to how many passes, etc. I just want the new clip to be of the same quality as the original clip. It looks so complicated and its not clear to me what options to pick to match the original.
    Is there a setting or preference that helps you to match the compression settings of the original clip? Or is there  a way to detect the settings of the original clip so I can repeat that in the shortened clip??

  • What can I do about error -50 in a video with only short clips (less than 1 sec)?

    I get Error -50 when trying to export a music video with lots of short clips I just made in imovie 8.0.6. After googleing the problem i realize that its probably the short clips (under 1 sec) that are the problem.
    Is there any way to get around this?
    Would really appriciate the help!!!

    As a test Depress an hold the option key while launching iPhoto - create a new test  library and import a few photos into it - report back with the results and if this problem repeats in the new test library

  • How can I copy a short clip?

    Hello All,
    When I have a project in the timeline how can I copy a short clip? Sometimes I will make an edit so I will end up with a 5 second shot and I want to put a copy of that shot above it in video track 2 so I can do some matte work. I have tried a few things, but I can't figure out how to copy just that small clip. Is there a duplicate button or something like that so it just makes a clone of that shot?
    Thanks for your help.
    Mike

    Hi Michael,
    Select the clip in the timeline, hold down the Option and Shift keys, and drag it to the place in the timeline you'd like to copy it to. Let go of the mouse to perform an Overwrite Edit and place the duplicated clip where your mouse was pointing to. To do the same thing but perform an Insert Edit, only hold down the Option key when dragging.

  • Looping a short clip under a color key of a longer clip

    What I want to do is key out part of a clip (like a green screen), and have a looping short clip (like water droplets, etc) playing underneath. I can’t figure out how to loop the background clip for the duration of the action clip! I have a 30 second action clip and a 4 second background clip. I have tried to drag the background clip to make it longer in the sequence but it won't stretch.

    Repeat the short clip by duplicating it over and over
    or using the same one..over and over.

  • Report Template with WWI: Waste Transporter: License Plate

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a WWI document for Disposal Document.
    I want to introduce the License Plate. I suppose that i have to introduce it in some waste transporter field , but i dont find it.
    Can anyone help me? thank you very much. Marí

    Thanks keshav,
    I will try to explain it to you:
    I need to print in my out put doc the licence plate.
    Actually i can do it and it appears correctly in my output doc, but before, in the disposal document (WAM02), i have to introduce it manually (in the license plate field, that is in the waste transporter worksheet).
    I think that this field (WAM02) is inherance from the waste transporter (WAA19) like other fields like: name, Number Assigned by Authority for Partner, etc...
    so, i have to introduce the licence plate in some field of the transporter, but i do not know where is it.
    Best regards. María.

  • I am using final cut express. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the tran

    I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
    Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

    Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
    By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
    In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
    I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
    The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min)  the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
    I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.

  • How to mask a license plate and thus start license plate recognition.

    I am trying to develop a license plate recognition system using Labview/vision assistant. Any tech help, example code or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers Sgt F.
    Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

    Hi Sgt F.
    The difficulty of this task is going to vary depending on the consistency of the images you will be analyzing. 
    For instance:
    Where will the camera be located relative to the vehicle?
    Will the angle of the vehicle be consistent?
    What portion of the entire image will be filled by the license plate?
    Will the camera be located indoors with constant lighting, or will it be required to work outside 24 / 7?
    Will the type of vehicle (and position of license plate) be consistent or are you aiming for the system to work on everything from motor bikes to HGV?
    My suggestion would be to obtain as many example images as possible.  If you can obtain a range of images the system will have to work with it will allow you to build up the best possible system.  If you could post up an example image and answer the above questions it will be easier to offer you more specific advice.
    Thanks,

  • FCP 7 short clip via share export keeps blinking and does not react. Thank you for your support!

    Try to export renederd short clip in FCP 7 via Share, but export knob keeps blinking and does not react. Please help,
    thank you very much!

    I did notice the "sequence" indicated 32 bit and all the clips, wav music, etc. are 16 bit.  Is that normal?
    May be but I would.
    • Convert all material to formats that FinalCut has easy to use and that match the Final product (Movie)
    • especially the Audio file .wma, wav etc and 32-bit - is no good start
    - convert them to .aiff 16-bit 44.1kHz or 48kHz
    • Set up a NEW Project - BUT FIRST select - right kind of project depending on material - AND FINAL MOVIE PROPERTIES.
    THEN FIRST - Start a NEW PROJECT - Else it will not work.
