Can you name this effect?

I'm looking for the name of the effect with which you could, for instance, highlight one person's face in a group photo. Where the scene would be darkened except for the person's face? Something like the Vignette filter but able to be specifically located and controlled. Is this effect available in FCE? Thanks very much.

You can make it manually with the Mask Shape filter and a couple of layers of the clip. There is no filter built into FCE to do, but it's simple enough to do.

  • Can You Name This Font?

    I recently inherited a web site and unfortunately not the graphics. I REALLY need to re-do the client banner, but can't figure out the font of the logo within the blue 1/2 globe.
    Can anyone help? URL: http://cirilloworld.com/home.html
    Thanks...

    I'm gonna name him "Barry." ;)

    <br />I kid!
    <br />Looks like one of the Bank Gothics.

    <br />I isolated the image of the font, the uploaded the image to
    <a href="http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/" style="color: teal; text-decoration: underline;">What The Font?!</a>. The tricky part about fonts like this is that they are built to use small caps for lower-case characters, so when you go through the identifying process on What The Font, you have to make sure you use your keyboard to enter (and in some cases
    <b>
    <i>change to...</i>
    </b>) the lower-case characters in the fields provided.

  • How can you do this effect in Premiere?

    Hi
    The cycling team Saxo Tinkoff have produced some very cool videoes. A lot of the effects, I can figure out how to do, but one is puzzling me. 
    The effect can be seen in the video about Roman Kreuziger here at 6 seconds and 55 seconds:
    http://www.saxobank.com/cycling/
    The effects pushes and shakes the picture a bit to one side and the empty bit of the frame is fillede with a red blue tone, to similate and old school burn out from the days with 9mm.
    Hope you guys can help

  • Can you name this device?

    I have this wireless keyboard that I acquired over a year ago. I bought it off ebay with no knowledge of this strange connection. It is definitely a mac keyboard, but the wireless sensor has a weird connection plug that doesn't match any port on the emac. It has what looks like two PS/2 plugs, a male and female head. I cannot describe it any better than that, but I have pictures. I just want to find what the heck this thing is and if it would be possible to get an adapter to USB. Just check out the pics. Any help is appreciated.

    I actually use a microsoft digital media pro right now and I have programed the sleep key to eject the cd tray. When I bought the wireless one it was because I had this emac coming in the mail with no keyboard. I was so new to Mac that I wanted to have a Mac keyboard too. When I got the wireless off of ebay I had no idea it wouldn't hook up. I ended up going out to Best Buy and getting the microsoft after I realized there were no holes on the computer that fit the plugs, lol. Anyway, I dug the wireless out of a box yesterday while cleaning and wanted to see if it was possible to make use of it. Since it doesn't seem cost effective to play around with converters or that USB kit mentioned in the article, I just gave it to my daughter to play with this morning. Now it is nicely decorated with seashells and stickers. I really appreciate all of your help.

    Is there anyone there? I hope there is someone who can you understand this problem and have the common sense to respond?
    I open gmail. I want to save an email to one of my folders.
    I position my cursor over the appropriate Folder icon or by choice, to the Trash.
    The friendly finger pointing cursor icon changes to an arrow icon.
    The hand icon allows me flawless access to opening and/or moving emails.
    The arrow, however does not open the link.
    On the Google menu bar the cursor hand with finger opens the links to Everett (my name), Search, Images, Maps and Play.
    When I attempt to open the remaining links in the menu bar (YouTube, News, Gmail, Drive, Calendar and More) the arrow icon replaces the hand. The arrow icon does not work. It will not activate these links.  Nor does it open email messages in the Inbox.
    Usually I reset, even reboot Safire and sometimes the problem goes away, then reappears.
    Can you imagine if this condition should it happen to a tech savvy Google Support person? Perhaps one can share and make my problem go away.
    I am considering dropping Google as my mail source. Unfortunate!

    I have uninstalled my Access Connection, but this problem seems to persist. IBM technician have changed the wireless card of my T60, the first few days after it was changed was very fine, no problem at all. About a week later, the problem occured again, and it happened quite frequently after that occurence. Now i really have no idea what is the cause and how to solve it. Will be greatful if there is anyone that can help me.

  • Cool effect..how can i create this effect on Motion 3?

    thanks

    Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

  • Java arrays - can you name the keys?

    i have 1 function that declares 2 ArrayLists of type String. They are the same size and the values are related. Let's call them A & B.
    I was hoping i could have my function return just 1 array, with the values of arraylist A being they keys of the returned array, and the values of arraylist B being the values in the returned array.
    But can you name the elements of an array in java? in php you can, but in java, the only examples i have seen only use the standard #'s: 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. if you can, please post sample syntax.
    i guess i could use a double scripted array, but... well i don't exactly know what the sytax would be for that in declaring the funciton.
    if someone has a link of these kinds of examples / topics they could send me - that would be great too - i googled it but haven't really come across any.
    thanks in advance

    It appears as though what you are trying to do is associate a specific "key" value with another value. For example, let's say you want the word "dog" to be the key for the arraylist value of "bull dog."
    The perfect data structure for this that Java provides is called a Map. Here is some sample code.
    //create something called a HashMap where the first
    //value is the key, and the second value is the value
    //that the key is associated with
    HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
    //now, consider the previous example...
    //here is the syntax for storing those values
    map.put("dog", "bull dog");
    //and this would be the syntax for getting a value
    String value = map.get('dog");
    //which would give "bull dog"
    {code}
    Hope that helps :)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • WHAT iS THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?

    WHAT'S THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?
    first of  all i don't know what's this kind of photo effect called, i just describe it as bright, clean and w/o lack of contrasts
    secondly, i wanna learn how to achieve this effect.....really don't know how
    need help here....
    btw i don't know where to post this post....so i just start from here  =)\

    For my part you are welcome, Lisa.
    then what about the color tone here? it's very pure and clean, a touch of blue i think, is it from the nature light or from photoshop effect?
    The colour tone is (hopefully) a result of the nature of the natural light faithfully reproduced by the high quality of the camera (and film if relevant).
    You will get quite different and sometimes rapidly changing tones of colour depending on the natural light; this is different for different times of day, different directions, different weather conditions.
    Just to mention a few comparisons, the warm light from the setting sun is quite different from the cool light from the clear bright sky through a (high) window to the north at noon, and the light of the sun can be changed immensely by the huge white (or grey) filter sometimes applied to (parts of) the sky.
    You may do many things in Photoshop, but photography is still an art form, not just cheating, at least for some.
    I believe one of the real provings of cameras/films is the ability to reproduce the delicate but profoundly different tinges in snow on a clear day.

  • How can i make this effect in After Effects?

    hello guys, im new to this awesome program, im using the trial version so ive limited time to learn XD

    looks like speed effect... is there a way to replicate it in after effects?
    thank you

    CC Bender is really easy to use. Just take the default settings and animate the amount with about three keyframes.
    We can make it a lot more complicated with something like liquefy, or even Time Displacement.

  • Can you do this with AE?

    I have an old highschool video where I look terrible, I was wondering since I know you can use photoshop to edit the photos (eg: remove bags from undereyes, change eye color ect..) can you do this type of stuff with after effects, and if so how? I'm thinking about purchasing it as long as it can do that type of thing.If it cant, is there any software out there that will?
    Thank you so much,
    Rachel

    Yes, you can change eye color and remove blemishes from skin with After Effects.
    There are many ways to do this sort of thing in After Effects. Here are a couple of suggestions:
    To change eye color, use the
    Change Color effect. You can use masks on an adjustment layer to isolate the areas that the effect affects. You'll probably end up playing with blending modes to blend the result in with the original.
    To remove blemishes, you can use the
    Clone Stamp tool to sample a patch of clear skin and use it over the blemish, or you might just end up changing the colors of the blemishes.
    I recommend starting by going to the
    After Effects Community Help and Support page. Work your way through the material in the "Getting started" section. Then, after you've gone through those basic materials, come back here with detailed questions.

  • Regarding receiving texts as emails:  Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

    Regarding receiving texts as emails:  Can you apply this setting to one individual? I want to continue to receive texts from everyone else except one person!

    Don't want to block the person, just have all his texts going directly to my email so that I can maintain a continuous record of his text contacts (rather than remain in text form).
    It appears that I must select an option that makes ALL texts go to email, which I'd prefer not doing.
