Creating a glissando effect? Anyone?

Hi,
I need urgent help with creating a decent sounding pitch shift. I'm re-creating a track and there is an octave slide in the vocal part. I have chosen a synth lead to represent the vocal but am having trouble managing to create the glissando effect needed.
I have played around with the portamento programming in the hyper edit but I don't seem to be getting any results! Can someone please point me in the right direction....I've been sitting in front of the computer for hours and am ready to give up!
thanks

Hi Techi,
First: what synth are you using? And do you really want a glissando (half or even whole note increments) or portamento (no discrete steps, 'flowing')?
I think the Pitch Bend wheel is the first candidate for this. You'll have to set your sound to a Bend range of one octave first, of course. Then you can just record 'playing the wheel'.
regards, Erik

Does anyone know how and where to get the software the creates a ripple effect on the screen when you click you mouse?

I have been searching for the download, or software which creates a ripple effects or waves when you click anywhere on screen with the mouse pointer. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Waves
Your screen gets liquified with Waves, which creates a rippling radius around your cursor. Drop a rock in to watch your screen undulate and shimmer, without any nasty chemical aftereffects. You can rock the boat just a little, or hang ten until you're seasick with the wavelength options.

How do I create this particle effect?

I am pretty new to After Effects and I'm getting to grips with all the particle effects and have managed to create some cool looking animations, but I'm trying to create the particle effect as seen in the image link below. Can anyone tell me how this is done, and what plug-in (if any) would be used to create something like this? I can't get anything I do to look like this. Thanks...

Create the custom particle in Photoshop or a separate comp. Drag the custom particle into your main comp, turn its visibility off, set Particular's particle setting to "Custom Particle", and choose the new layer as the source.
Create a camera for the comp and turn on "Depth of field". Experiment with the settings until you get the desired effect.
Personally, I'd use two Particular layers for that look, one for the larger particles and another for the smaller ones.

Creating an infinity effect

I'm trying to create an infinity effect with my background layers and have no idea how to do it. My animation is reasonably simple...a camera tracks into a text layer. I have placed two gradient layers in the background as a floor and a wall. The floor has a rotation of 0 degrees and the wall is minus 90. My problem is that where both layers join there is a dark line and I want it to appear seamless. Does anyone know a way around this?

Everything I tried left a fairly defined horizon line, except for one:
Use the same gradient for the floor as you did for the back, and reverse it's order so that the two edges match at the same color (you can manipulate the floor gradient afterwards to change in the direction of the viewer.)
Easiest thing to do is create the back wall; create the gradient effect. Set the Anchor Point at the bottom edge. Duplicate the wall. Rotate the floor 90 degrees on X. Position in space; scale accordingly.
Go back into the floor shape gradient and change as needed – anything but the edge color that contacts the back.
You can't use a light. So fake one. You can add an oval shape behind the main subject - large feather value - a color blend mode like Add (turn down opacity to taste.) You can use a Reflection on the floor.
The effect will be seemless... but also a lot more work achieving a balance.

Creating a "SHAKE" effect in Edge

Does anyone know how to create a "shake" effect in Adobe Edge. I'll use furniture as an example. Basically I want the user to shake the ipad, and a random pile of furniture shakes to create a nice, set-up room. I found a shake.js file to upload to the .html file. But I haven't figured out how to set the events in Edge, so it specifically shakes the furniture.
THANKS!

I meant the person casting his own shadow on other things. For casting a shadow ON your subject, I'd use emboss or many other good macros that are out there to make a feux Z (or depth) map, luma key that and plug it into iDisplace (with the shadow shape plugged into the left side of the node) so it looks like the shadow is conforming to ripples in clothing and details in the face. Then either use that new mask shape as a faded black bar layered over the subject or use it as a modifying matte in a Brightness node (best used when combined using KeyMix instead of just plugging it into the side of the Brightness node)
Edit: I thought back and Z-map isn't the correct term for what I did there, the term I was looking for was contour map or bump map

I'm creating live video effects using a midi controller

I am creating live video effects using a midi controller on a mcabook.The final destination for the video content is an ipad app which uses the built in iPad camera to capture video. I want to "trick" the ipad into "filming" the video from the macbook with the effects. Does anyone have any ideas - software orhardware solutions are all viable. The ipad accepts audio through an Alesis iODock. I really be looking for a software solution which will over ride the built in camera on the ipad and accept a feed from the Macbook.

You can't override the physical camera and substitute the macbook camera.
You could find an app or write one that would have the macbook stream the video over wifi from the macbook to the iPad.

How can I create an iridescent effect in a Photoshop 3D object?

How can I create an iridescent effect in a Photoshop 3D object? I have searched everywhere for downloadable option for a mac with no luck. I'm working with CS6.

NO way. Such stuff isn't even commonly available in many 3D programs becaus it's actually pretty advanced shader stuff...

I have a related but different problem... I prefer that the photos/events on my iPhone and iPad be in "date created" order. Does anyone know if this is possible? Apple...please give us some options.

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

In the Timeline position your Playhead at the starting position.
In the Viewport position the Shape Mask at the starting position.
In the Inspector click the Add Keyframe button.
Press Control-V to open the Animation Editor to see your keyframes.
Move the Playhead and the Shape Mask to a new position.
In the Inspector click the Add Keyframe button.
Continue adding keyframes until you have defined the Shape Mask’s movement.

How to create the droste effect in photoshop cc 2014?

In the past you could use pixel bender to create the droste effect, that is what I have found out from the internet.
But how to create that effect today seams non existent on the net!
Can any one help?
KR,
AJ

Right. Pixel Bender is gone. It was an experimental filter available from Adobe Labs but never made it into an actual product release. As of CS6, Oil Paint filter was introduced. It's not the same thing but more like a shaved down version of Pixel Bender.
Look at Filter Forge. They offer a 30-day trial. Disclaimer: I've never used it myself.

FW8 Can't Seem To Create Disjoint Rollover Effect

Hello,
I used previous versions of FW to create "disjoint rollover"
effects without any problem. This time I'm using FW8 to create the
same effect but so far it has proved unsuccessful, I have even
tried the step by step instruction of "help" menu with no success.
Can somebody pease help me with how to achieve this effect
with FW8 if it is possible.
Many thanks in advance!

More than half of the trouble posts on the DW forum are the
result of using
a graphics editor to write HTML. It's a grand idea that
utterly fails.
Such HTML is rigid, and fragile. You cannot avoid HTML if you
are going to
be working on the web, no matter what the marketing hype
says.
Harsh? Perhaps. True and well intentioned? Yes.

Creating a water Effect using AS3

Hi There
I have created a water effect in Adobe Flash using AS2,
however I now wish to create a flash application with the same
effect but using AS3.
Please see the attached code I have used to create the water
effect using AS2.
I am looking for somebody to help me change this to work in
Action Script 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You are maybe talking about the cursor tooltips? The
one when you pause over a link a little box pops up
with the link or name of the link? Maybe?
If so, iweb can't do this. It make the default
tooltips the name of the link. You can edit it to
whatever you want by changing the "alt" tag in the
html.

Tutorial on creating a Sparkle effect

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a sparkle effect in which i have a small video on top of the main video. The small video has a circular matte so it's in the circular shape, and I want the border to have a sparkle effect.. as if it is a star or something. Can someone point me to the proper effect or a tutorial?
Thanks

There are tens of thousands of tutorials for After Effects, many are rubbish, but you get what you pay for. The problem is finding something that is a precise discrition that you can understand of exactly what you think you want. You can look up sparkle and you will eventually find out that what you really are looking for are particle tutorials. Then you may discover particles are really complex. Really. Isn't there an easier way?
CC Particle Systems II, under Simulations, will create sparkle particles from within a shape.
