Creating special video effects?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to put a vid effect in my movie I can't figure out how to do it, or find one online that does what I'm looking for.
I'm trying to do the "Dr. Evil" type of "I'm taking over the airwaves" thing. I have a headshot movie of an evil villain, and I really want it to transition over to him in a cool way. Make Sense?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

hi, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by an evil effect, but in iMovie it has the options on the right side (audio, trans, clips) stuff like that. If you select the clip once it's in the timeline, those options appear. Click "effects" and choose the effect you want. You can preview it and change it in different ways. Then drag that effect infront of the clip that you want it. If it's in the middle of a clip, go to edit, split video clip at play head and it'll split where you tell it to. That should add your effect. Hope that helps.

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 this videos effect ?

Hello, i am new here, and i have a project in my hand. I have to create a slideshow presentation on certain subject. I have completed the slideshow using a tool called,PhotoStage Slideshow Producer, with a bunch of 60 images. Now i want to add a small video effect in the beginning of the slideshow to make it look more professional. Here is the download link for the video. http://www.mediafire.com/download/i5az6a7rjp3lbkn/Video.rar This video is farely advanced for my liking, but you got the general message. I want something really simple and i want to add it in between different images for some effect. I may be asking in the wrong forum, again. Can Adobe’s Premiere Pro do it , or is there some other simple program that can make these kind of effect. Thank you.

Might be able to create it with Filter > Render > Clouds with your foreground and background colors set to the lighter and darker versions of your selected color. Then you might need to use Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur to smooth things out

How to create this video effect in my videos?

Hi all, new here, just got Premiere Elements 7 a week back, and must say i'm impressed...
I came across a video effect in a song found here (found from 0:53 till 1:30) where the screen goes completely white for a fraction of a second in a smooth manner and the picture returns again after that.
In fact i also want the effect of the fast forwarding of the video (audio remains the same) for a few seconds, which can also be found in the same clip in the same duration as i stated earlier... But till now i haven't been so successful at applying these...
Can you please help me out? Thanks!

For the "flash to white" you might take Paul's suggestion and invert it, i.e. placing the white matte on the Video Track (VT) above your footage, and Keyframing its Opacity. Personally, I'd look at doing this with Keyframing of Levels and cutting in a few frames of the white matte. Not sure about PE's Levels Effect (might look into some of the other "brightness" Effects too), but I'd be doing this in PrPro, which has a few more similar Effects.
One tip on the "fast-forward:" this was likely shot that way, with the camera mounted on a sturdy tripod and the a momentary switch used on the camera to do "stop motion" as the actors moved in the scene. If you do the Time Remapping, make sure to shoot on a tripod, so that the background does not change positions, only the actors to keep it looking clean. It also appeared to me that the videographer shot a few frames without the talent in the scene and these were either created in camera, or were inserted. I might have imagined this, but its use could be effective also. To keep the Audio at the exact pitch and speed, when Time Remapping, you'll want to use a soundtrack, and not rely on the Audio from the camera. You can do some work with the camera Audio to try and maintain pitch, but it can be a lot of work. Even for ambient sounds, i.e. the background sounds of the field, or forrest, I'd keep it, plus the soundtrack, separate from the Video stream.
An older Sci-Fi parody, "Ice Bandits" used a bit of stop motion freeze-framing and also under-cranking of the camera, for both Audio & Video, to create a humorous take on this Effect. If you can get a copy of that (might be on DVD?), look at the battle-scenes near the end. Heavy makeup changes were also incorporated to simulate "aging" when the action was sped up. The Time Remapped Audio contributed to the humor aspect, as the voices took on a "chipmunk-like" sound, and even the SFX were sped up too.
I don't see much real stop motion anymore in video, as much can be done in post. Back in the cine days, it was used for all sorts of effects. Jack Boseburg did a three-film trilogy, called "Trolley," that incorporated a lot of real stop-motion camera work. In his film, he controlled the camera with an intervelometer. I doubt that you could find a copy of this, however, as it was never commercially released.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

Slow/fast/reverse in video effects

Hi I've just got the new iMac with iMovie 08. Does anyone know how I can get into the video effects and the slow/fast/reverse function?

I've just got the new iMac with iMovie 08. Does anyone know how I can get into the video effects and the slow/fast/reverse function?
Download and used the complementary copy of iMovie HD v6.0.4 if you want special effects/third-party plug-ins. iMovie '08 has no command structure for the threading of delayed third-party rendering modules. If you must use iMovie '08, create your special effects as either pre- or post-edits.

How do you add video effects-slow motion

Not real happy with 08 over previous versions but I would like to gain back some of the functionality that I regularly used. How do I add special effects, such as slow motion to a video clip or a portion of a video clip.

How do you do it IMovie HD in Ilife 08?
Both applications can be run on the same computer. Use whichever application best serves your needs. If you need a lot of plug-in effects, use HD. If few or nor effects other than standard transitions and titles are required and speed is paramount, then use iMovie '08. If you like being innovative and want to try your hand at creating your own effects, use iMovie '08 and learn how perform pre- and post-edits to create your own fast motion, slow motion, stop motion, pseudo time lapse, still framed, backgrounded, blended, layered, picture-in-picture, etc. that may "tickle your fancy."

What program allows me to create a video by zooming, turning, or peeling a photograph?

what program allows me to create a video by zooming, turning, or peeling a photograph?

Hi Gnika2953,
You can do some simple video creation in Photoshop although it is primarily an image editing app. The next two programs that come to mind would be a video editing app like Premiere Elements and a motion graphics/special effects program like After Effects. If you are a beginner I would suggest starting out with the trial of Premiere Elements.

Looking for video effects

Hello everyone:
I'm relatively new to Adobe Premiere CS4 (although I have some experience working with digital video). I seemed to have mustered the controls for Premiere itself but what seems to be lacking in my understanding is how to create certain visual effects with it. I'm looking to create a video clip with effects like in this particular video: (Sorry for the link but it's much more easy to show it.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePDR3Pza1_g
What I'm looking for is this:
1. The way they have the Id logo expand, shrink and distort in the very beginning.
2. The "broken TV reception", or "TV-snow" effect. Also the effect how they have the picture twitch at some points.
3. The way they implemented titles in the beginning -- "The Union Aerospace Corporation is the largest ..."
I'm not looking for a free solution in particular, so if someone knows some third-party plug-in, or something I can integrate into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I'm not sure if it's Premiere or After Effects, either. So I apologize if I posted it in a wrong forum.
Thank you in advance.

As for the picture jitter, I'm not sure I saw the appropriate effect for it, but I'll keep looking, maybe I missed something... You said there's an effect for that in AE. I don't really know it that well, so I'm curious, is it possible to take a track from PrPro, send it to AE and then back to PrPro (pretty much like with sound track and Soundbooth)?
Depending on the version of PrPro and whether it's one of the full "suites," you can use Adobe Dynamic Link (DL) to quickly move footage into an AE Comp and back again. Each version of what was once called Production Stuido has improved the function of DL.
Now for the jitter, I seem to recall a plug-in, something like "unsteady cam," or similar. It is just the opposite of "stabilization." Do not recall either the official name, or software company, or even if it was part of an Effects "pack."
Speaking of which, I know it's off topic here, but do you know any idea where can I get some sound effects like in that clip? Maybe even some sound bites/background music/anything.
Not at all OT. Here's a list of SFX and music sites. Some are free, some are for a fee:

http://www.findsounds.com/ISAPI/search.dll
http://www.freesound.org/index.php

http://www.smartsound.com
http://www.ilovewavs.com/Effects/Music/Music.htm
http://www.jamendo.com/en/albums
http://www.5alarmmusic.com/
Also the voices in the beginning sound quite machine-like, is there a software I can use to dictate some text in?
Audition, SoundBooth, and several other audio editing programs have similar Effects, and many more can be added, such as Reverb and Delay. There are also some free VST plug-ins that do a similar distortion. This GOOGLE Search has yielded a bunch of sites for VST's. Some free and some for a fee.
Again, thanks for your input, you can't imagine how much time you've just saved me... As for the video I'm making, it's supposed to be a fun one. When I'm done with it (hopefully in a couple of weeks) I'll post a link here.
No problem. If I can track down that shaky-cam/destabilizer plug-in, I'll post a link to it.
Good luck,
Hunt

What are the video effects used in this video

I was just wondering if anybody could help me. I was intrigued to find out what kind of video effect is used in this video at 0:16 - 0:18 and if theres a name for this type of video and editing used throughout the video such as the continous stream of different videos etc.

Do you mean the distorted lips or the bad tv reception.
The distorted lips can be anything from Bulge to Mesh Warp to Liquefy.
The bad TV reception can be started with the Bad TV Effects Presets that comes with AE. You can modify or edit these as you like.
I know of no specific style name that goes along with any part of this video other than lazy. It looks like nobody had an idea of what they wanted to do so they just shot a bunch of stuff and threw every effect they had in their bag of tricks at the project. Turn off the sound and it's impossible to tell what it is about. I don't mean to be critical but there's not much original here that I haven't seen a zillion times going back to the Video Toaster days. (probably before you were born). It's nothing more than a bunch of quick cuts and jitter.
Load up about 100 layers, trim them do different lengths from 5 to 30 frames, Select half of them, apply Bad TV1 to that bunch, Apply Bad TV2 to the another 10 random layers. Add tint, bulge, to a few more. set a couple of position and rotate keyframes to a few more then add wiggle to those, then use the Keyframe Assistant to sequence the layers and you'll be pretty close. It should take you about 15 minutes.
If you've got a specific question about how they made this jitter or how they made time stutter ask away. If used to tell a story these techniques are all useful. If you just want to create a jarring montage then follow my suggestion in the previous paragraph then run Brainstorm a couple of times.

Video effects for a horror/thriller trailer

I'm working on recutting a trailer as a different genre and I was wondering how to do a couple of effects. How do you do the white flash on the screen(not a dip to white transition but in the middle of the clip) and the flash that shows a negative of the original image like you see in some horror/thriller trailers?

Hi owiseone,
Here's how I would construct the effect.
Create the "negative image" effect.
Apply the Invert effect: Video Effects > Channel > Invert
Try different Channel Options. I chose "Lightness."
Desaturate the colors on the negative image.
Apply a Fast Color Corrector
Take Saturation down to 0.
Adjust the Input Levels slider to taste
Make the effect flash on and off with the original clip by using the Strobe effect, or by manually adding the effect to Add Edits.
First, do the following
Copy paste the clip to V2.
Remove effects from the clip on V1.
Do either of the following to the clip on V2:
Apply the Strobe Light effect: Video Effects > Stylize > Strobe Light and adjust parameters to taste.
With the Razor tool or the Add Edit keyboard shortcut, create splices that are several frames long, create them either the same length, or random durations. Delete portions of the clip between the add edits.
Play back the effect and adjust parameters until you're happy with the effect.
Set up a range to play In to Out
Enable Loop Playback
Adjust parameters in any of the effects as they play In to Out.
Hope that helps!
Kevin

Video Effects Die Out

Hey,
Near the end of a video I'm making, the video effects I'm using just gradually stop. I'm using Edge Work and Flase Color, the video is 1:47 long, and the effects start dieing at 1:36 or so. Does anybody know why? Thanks!

.. so how do I check the format?..
YOU did select the 'format' of your project in the 'Create New Project' dialog...
.. I'm not sure which harddrive it's on..
.. if you don't know.. me no psychic ... same: when creating New Project, you did choose a location.. somewhere ... somehow ..
.. I do have an external one connected... ..
.. and you're using it as 'out-of-the-box'? ...- which is usually wrong formatted ... follow advice given here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1009.html
to use iM in its all shining glory, use it as a DV-editor, meaning: iMovie is by concept for working with firewire connected miniDV camcorders...
as long as you use iM as meant, no computer skills needed, if you try to teach the dog new tricks - you need some background know-how..
here's a good start for beginners:
