Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

Something like this?
That was from a project I did a few months ago. Sounds similar to what you want. I did that in After Effects.
Basically all I did was add a glow effect to the text and messed around with the glow parameters. The black smoke is animated and moves on the actual video and is basically some pre keyed smoke footage that I had. The smoke was originally gray but black looked cooler.
I'd say it's pretty close to your hot branding iron thing.

NEWBIE Question: Is it possible to create a "Branding Iron" effect?

Hello!
I would like to make an effect of a branding iron burning our logo onto a surface. Not knowing too much about Motion (I'm more of an FCP guy) I'd like to see if I can do this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Andy

It's complicated but, yes, it's possible.
Creating the smoke/steam and adding some sizzle/grunge/decay to the edges of the logo are not difficult in Motion. They just take lots of experimentation (or lots of help from Sheffield).
The tough part is creating the branding iron itself since Motion has no 3D capabilities. Adding a red hot glow to the iron object should be easy if you understand creative masking.
Try to deconstruct the effect you're looking for, consider the degree of realism or stylization you're willing to accept and then try to figure out how many different layers or pieces you'll need to pull it off.
It's not something I'd attempt in Motion but, umm, to be frank, I'd rather eat barbed wire than try ANYTHING in Motion that I can do in After Effects.

Looking for some good text effects type plugins for CS5 or CS5.5

I have a website that I am updating and I wanted to create some really cool text effects. The effects are something that I want to create in After Effects to give it the movie effect with sounds, etc.
What I'm looking for is some add-on software that can boost the text. Any ideas?
Thanks

Since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time. It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
So how do you get the basics? You go here.
...and if you need this animation in a big hurry, you might want to have a Plan B ready to go.

Drop Down Text Effects

Hi there.
I'm created topics currently that have drop down text effects in them.
Basically, I have a title which has got a little image next to it (a plus expand sign image).
When you click either the image of the title text, the drop down text appears as intended.
Is there anyway I can get it, so that when you click either the text or the image, the image changes to be a minimise image?
The screenshots below demonstrate what I mean a bit clearer.
Thanks very much,
Craig

Hi Craig
All I can say is that the script or whatever simply isn't finding the image if you are viewing from the compiled CHM. When you compile, you need to ensure that everything is in the place it needs to be. For example, maybe you have a folder in your project and you added the image to the folder. But in reality, it's looking for the image in the project root. Because the image is in the folder, it cannot be found.
I'd suggest a double-check of things just to be certain.
Cheers... Rick

Text Effects for iMovie

I am looking for some plug-in text effects for iMovie 08, I could settle for iMovie HD 6 or Final Cut Express. Specifically I am looking text bubbles or comic bubbles.
Can anyone help me in my search?
Thanks
Gene

I am looking for some plug-in text effects for iMovie 08
iMovie '08 does not currently have a "plug-in" architecture compatible with plug-ins.
I could settle for iMovie HD 6 or Final Cut Express.
iMovie HD v6.0.4 is available as a free download to iLife '08 owners.
Specifically I am looking text bubbles or comic bubbles.
Such effects are easily created with most graphic applications and can be applied from within iMovie '08.

Muse: Issue: Text Effects options (Drop Shadow, etc) are always disabled.

Hello,
I am a new Muse user and I have been using the Learn Tutorials here on helpx.adobe.com to teach myself Muse.
I have a strange problem. When following through the "Apply Effects to Text" tutorial at: Adding effects to text | Adobe Muse CC tutorials, the options to add a drop shadow are not enabled. On advice from folks on Twitter, I tried the same using System Fonts, Web Fonts and Web Safe fonts. None of them seem to work.
I am attaching a video capture of the issue.
Please help :-(

That's worse. If I set Stroke to 1 (you can only do that on the Text Frame and not the text itself), then the Text Effects do get enabled. BUT, the effect is applied to the entire text frame instead of just the text. See this:
I want the drop shadow for the text not the frame (like how Photoshop does it).

Bridge .ffx files (text effects) no longer open up in After Effects 2014?

I am having an issue trying to get the text effects (.ffx) in Bridge (that use to open up in After Effects just fine) to open up in After Effects 2014 latest update. Is there a work around, setting or alternative I can use?

Here is the log I received with the error:

Text Effects in Bridge wont attach to text layers in AE *Please help

** Please Help **
short version
I have read the AE help and it says to just double click the preset I want and it will attach to the text in AE, but it doesnt work. What do I do?
Long version
Ok, I am trying to use the built in animations that are located in the text folder inside bridge. While in AE I make a new text layer and type in the text, then I goto the EFFECTS & PRESETS fly out menu and Choose Browse presets, This will take you to the contents folder in Bridge, For instance I click on the 3d text folder to open it and view all of the preset text animations. If you click a sample Icon one time it will show you what to expect in Bridge, IF you double click it, it is supposed to attach that preset to your text layer and transfer that animation to the text layer in AE. Well I cant get it to work, It wont attach the preset to my text in the text layer of AE. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Please help me figure this out. I have search the AE help files as well as the bridge help, with no answers.

Jonas, thank you for a work around, using the bridge method would be nicer, but the apply animation preset works, I just have to open bridge so I can preview the text effect I want to apply. Main thing is I got it to work. Now to figure out why bridge and AE aren't talking.

Text Effect Does Not Appear

I have never encountered this problem before. I wanted to make my copyright watermark more striking, so I created a variation on the relatively well-known "glass" text effect, but the effect will not print, nor will it show up when the file is saved as anything other than a psd. I have tried to rasterize the text, rasterize the layer, and convert it into a smart object; I get nothing. I have exported it to Illustrator, and I get nothing. I have just opened the psd in other programs that read the psd format, and I get nothing: it always just turns out as flat, unaltered text. Even Photoshop won't print anything but the flat text. Save it as something like a jpg, and the result is an image with flat text. I don't have this happen when I do simpler effects: my current watermark is a bevel and emboss with contour and a drop shadow, and it looks perfect; but when I do the more complicated layering to make the glass effect, the result is as if I had done nothing but put text color on it. In fact, the only way I can even show the effect here is via a screen capture from Photoshop CS5, which looks like this:
It's not a very good rendering of what it looks like in Photoshop, but the screen capture is the only thing I've got.
The layer effects that were enabled for the image you see are inner shadow, outer glow, and bevel and emboss. Several other effects I had already turned off.
Is it the case that some text effects just won't show up? I can't imagine that's the case, since the sites where creating such effects are demonstrated certainly must be exporting the imagery to show it on their sites.
One last curiosity is that, once I've put in all the layers, I can turn them off one by one, and I get no effect, even when I've turned off effects to the point where I basically have my original watermark style, which looks just fine in print and jpg.
Does anyone have an explanation for why this is happening. Is it something I'm doing, or is it really that I can't print or present as jpg images some text effects?
On a techical note, I'm using Photoshop CS5 64-bit in Windows 7 on a very good computer, and my main monitor is not IPS, but it is VA, and is calibrated every two weeks.
Any help in solving my rather frustrating mystery would be most appreciated.

I shall herewith provide as much visual information as possible to help you see the work product and its components.
This is a screen capture of a photograph in which I used the glass effect:
Next is a capture to show the effect more clearly (a published print would have the opacity of the text layer reduced considerably since it looks rather strong at 100%):
Next is what happens to the effect when the psd file is converted to JPG. This is also what it looks like as a print straight-away from Photoshop, and it even looks like this in the Print Preview window of Photoshop:
And finally, below are screen captures of each effect applied to the text layer, followed at the end by the Character set-up:
I do apologize for the extensive graphics in this post, but I am hopeful that this evidence will be sufficient to provide the answer to my inquiry about why the glass text effect declines every effort to show outside of the Photoshop screen.

Adobe Muse CC 2014 no text effects installed

I recently updated creative cloud cc2014
and the old version of Adobe Muse I have the text effect panel
and now CC 2014 I can't even find my text effect (shadow and all that)
Can anyone please help. Thank you
CJ

Finally just shutting Muse and now the effect panel is back
however, the shadow and the rest of the effects are not working
you can't click them or its shaded out. Anyone having this problem?
Is Adobe fixing this ? I got MuseTheme Text Shadow but its not for navigation anyways.

I can't get text effects to preview in cs6 After Effects. It was working a week ago.

I can't get text effects to preview in After Effects CS6 browser. It was working a week ago.

I uninstalled and reinstalled a current Quicktime. Couldn't find hardware accelerated previews in Bridge setting. Is it under "preferences"? Couldn't find it in preferences. Still not previewing.

Recreate animated text effect?

I am working on a video with mostly text, like the one below. I want to know how to recreate some of the effect used here, like when the "4" slides upwards and vertical and horizontal lines extend from it, or the point at 0:41 when the words are all connected by the line.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgLxv-f9mYs

That example was done in FCP7. These days, those types of text effects, most of which can be done in FCPX, are probably better (at least easier) done in Motion. You *can* create a Basic Text "4" and animate the bars with Shape generators, etc. but it's a common enough use of the #4 that I put it together in Motion for you.
You can download it here:
http://sight-creations.com/fxexchange/sc_divideby4.zip
You can:
Animate all 3 strokes ("Crossbar", horizontal and vertical) from 0% to 100% (for horiz and vert - they will go far enough off the screen for you to create a border at the upper left corner of 16:9 aspect video.
Use the onscreen control to position the intersection of the vertical and horizontal strokes (animated via keyframes).
Colorize
Scale (relative to the OSC)
Rotate (relative to the OSC)
Shear (tilt) (relative to the OSC)
Fade with Opacity
Blend into the storyline media (background) using Blend Mode
Apply Drop Shadow

How do I create this text effect in motion?

Hi,
I am a bit of a motion newbie - and am stuck as to how to replicate this sratchy/jumpy/glow text effect found in the video preview here . . . .
http://www.worshiphousemedia.com/index.cfm?hndl=details&tab=MM&id=4609
(click the video in top left)
If anyone can offer some help it would be greatly appreciated.
Warmest Regards,
Adam

mark, patrick, pierre and Longstrider - thankyou - sucess!
Longstrider- special thanks for your fab run through I knew it couldn't be too tricky... hehe - it really isnt!
I have got it shaking and mimicked exactly as in the sample vid clip - now i just have to add the randomisation on opacity, and perhaps some graininess to the text (text edging&fill is a bit sharp and clean).
Once again - thankyou so much!
Warmest Regards,
Adam

Can Someone Tell Me How to Do This Text Effect?

Ok so this video has this text effect that I spent 2 days looking on how to do it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LATGUNnlUr8
The text effect starts at 0:47-0:49
I tried looking for plugins and etc but I just can't find any that do this or something similar to it! It would mean a lot if you could tell me how to do it ^^

The text itself simply appears character by character. The "Typewriter" animation preset will do the job. Additionally, there's a spray of particles accompanying the text. You could generate these with the CC Particl World plugin. You'll need to match the floor of the effect to the floor of your shot/background. Animate the location of the particle generator to match the locatio of the appearing text. Finally, apply some Glow.
