Do we have a 'heavenly effect'?

Hello to all!
In an upcoming song video, I need to show a 'heavenly scene'...a brightly lit and 'glorious' effect which can be placed in the video clip; the effect also containing clouds moving around, rainbows, thunder and lightning!
Any guidance in this requirement [apart from being advised to go there and do the shooting!] will be deeply appreciated.

Hi Doc,
yo're describing a whole scene - you have to 'synthezise' that?
'cause an 'effect', in my humble understanding, is something, you add to an existing scene (as babylonslim mentioned 'godrays').
to built 'a heaven' from scratch, is no effect; it is a compositing, such as in Photoshop you combine different, single elements in one new picture/video. You would need timelapsed clouds (I've seen that), a rainbow is some paint-job, lightning is single frames put over a scene ... thunder? audio library .. ahh, and godrays ... coremelt has such an effect for free, or you built one in Motion ..
rather complex ....
for a start, you should try to compose such a scene as a still, with material found by a google search...
but a 'Heaven Out Of A Box' I never heard of..

Do you have to add effects to Logic Pro X loops when mixing a song?

Hi everyone,
I have a question that has been puzzling me and I cannot seem to find an answer for! I have searched high and low on the internet and still cannot find the answer and so I would be grateful to everyones help with this issue.
My question is that you hear so much about the fact that when you are recording and mixing a track that different instruments for example the Bass Drum and the Bass guitar occupy similar frequencies and we are told that this is why you have to add effects to these instruments when mixing but what I want to know is are they talking about just organic instruments like real drums and a real bass guitar that you manually play and record to Logic Pro X`s audio tracks? Or should you treat the Loops exactly the same? And should you also add effects to the Logic Pro X loops when you are mixing those specific tracks?
For example if I add a Drum Loop or Bass Loop to a project and then start mixing the song should I add any effects for example EQ, Compression to these Loops? And what would be the best effects to add to the Bass and the Drums when mixing to help them stand out in the mix?
Many thanks.

Whoever told you that overly generalized rule, please stop listening to that person .
The way you post your question (and they are good questions) points out a big problem nowadays. There is so much cookie cutter solutions out there like if you have this, then use that, if you want to get this sound, press that button. The problem with that is that you you often have no idea why you are doing that in the first place.
Let me give you a simple example about gardening (sorry about that). If I grow tomatoes and look up on the internet how often to water them, I can find an answer "water the tomatoes once a week". I might do that and result is that the tomatoes will die. What I didn't take into account is that the advice was given from someone growing tomatoes in Russia, and I live in California where I might need to water them once a day. So, the answer you are looking for is not "how often to water the tomato", instead you have to learn how much water, depending on your climate, the tomato needs"
Your music is the tomato. So the question is not what button to press (how often to water), but what button needs to be pressed, depending on your specific recordings (your climate).
If your bass drum and and bass guitar are more further apart frequency wise, then there might be no need to EQ them, it depends
Nobody should or could tell you what to do, unless he or she sits next to you at the mix and "hears' what is going on and what needs to be done.
Don't get me wrong, I don't say that there is a lot of great advice and general guidelines out there. The problem is when you apply that blindly without knowing a little bit why that advice is give and how to apply that, or if it applies to your situation at all.
In addition: The skills and knowledge about the theory is as important as the skills and experience of listening and judging your recording/mix and decide what action to take.You have to learn what to listen to and what you hear. If you don't know how distortion sounds then you miss out on fixing that issue. If you don't know how a pumping compressor sounds, then you miss out on fixing that issue.
I think you get the idea
Hope that helps

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

How can I find items which have crop marks effect?

Now, I am creating a script for Illustrator CS4, CS5, CC2014 with Japanese version in Windows.
I wish to find items which have Crop Marks Effect (which is created by Effect > Crop Marks) by Javascript or VBScript.
Is it possible?
Any help is appreciated.

It looks like the crop marks are part of the "visibleBounds" of the object. So if you compare the visibleBounds to the geometricBounds you should see a stable difference of 54.5pt
Test this out on some variations. Quick testing shows that it looks viable.
#target illustrator
#targetengine "main"
var workingDoc = app.activeDocument;
if (workingDoc.pathItems[0].geometricBounds[0] - workingDoc.pathItems[0].visibleBounds[0] = 54.5)
alert("crops");

I want to make thumbnail pictures of logo to have the full effect on Facebook

I have some logos on Facebook and want to have their full names and not half of it. How to make a thumbnail to have the full effect. Any ideas?

How images are displayed on FaceBook is a matter for Facebook.
You can chnage the size of an image using the export dialogue.
File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue note two options:
Jpeg Quality is the amount of compression used on the file. Lower Quality means a smaller file.
Size refers to the Dimensions (length by breadth) of the photo in Pixels. Smaller dimensions means smaller file size.

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that fixes it.

I updated my mac to Yosemite and have lost After Effects

I updated my mac a while back to Yosemite and, shortly after, found that After Effects no longer works. When I try to open it, it tells me that I have Adobe After Effects CS6 and that it doesn't work with this version of OS X. How can I get After Effects to work on Yosemite without having to pay £999 for it again, which I feel would be incredibly unfair...

Download the most recent build from Adobe. Google brings up a link to the direct download: Adobe - After Effects : For Macintosh : Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.4 Update

Scale?? Does decreasing a clips scale have the same effect on quality as..

Does decreasing a clips scale have the same effect on quality as increasing? So for example if i lower the scale to 90 is the compression that takes place as bad for image quality as increasing an image? or is it better? thanks kellam

Well, taking the example you mentioned, if you decrease or increase the size of the image, it doesn't have to affect the original quality of your media. Of course, if you increase the image size, the quality will be "poor" in the sense that you are zooming to the details of your image. Depending on the compression you are working on, the more compression have (DV as lowest), the more decreasing on the sharpness will happen in the increasing of the picture.
Increasing doesn't gets better than decreasing.
Sometimes I work with photos in FCP, and to prevent this loss, I save the photo in 1440x960 to keep the most definition that a picture can give me, when the zooming in time would arrive, that Image Size covers me up on keeping a good quality in my Final result, is simply the double of the standard.
Obviusly, decreasing does not affect so much in quality.
Hope this helps

I want to be able to tweak the graphic equalizer in real time while recording - and have this have the audible effect written to the recording. At the moment i have to go into post-production and manually set the graph equalizer at various time points .

This won't be real-time as you record, but you could tweak the EQ in real-time after the recording thus:
Record what you want to tweak into GB with no effects.
Solo the track and output it into something like Audacity.
Start Audacity recording, then play your track in GB as you make those tweaks. That's what Audacity will record.
Get that file from Audacity and put it into GB, then you'll have that effect.
Sorry if it's complicated, but that's what came to mind. Hope it works.

Why am I getting a delay on one of my tracks when I have added no effects?

AVI should never be used for iDVD. Even Microsoft abandoned AVI and moved to WMV. The reason for this is that AVI is limited to 2 GB is file size and has limited video codec support. If you have problems with AVI in iDVD, convert it to Quicktime right away.

Is it possible to have a hover effect easing out on multiple images when hovering on others?

Im trying to use four small images to create a large image by using a hover effect. However when i hover over an image for instance 3 of 4, after hovering over 1 and 2, number 1's ease-out effects snaps back to the background image, rather than continuing to ease-out. Which i do not want. Is it possible to have numerous ease-out effects working at the same time? Using CSS.

Could you show us a bit more of what you've done so far?
I'm not sure I understand the desired result.
Can you put your files online somwhere?
Thanks

Hi, I'm planning on using Mainstage 3 for performing live and I wanted to know how to add my Logic Pro backing tracks into it and have automated vocal effects that trigger while I'm singing. How do I do this?

I have a mic hooked up through an interface and I'd like to open up my backing tracks then figure out what vocal effect sound good on what places during the song, then I want to have those automatically trigger while I'm singing and performing. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Why does iPhoto have Ken Burns effect and Aperture does not?

Does anyone know why this is? In fact, I can't figure out why DVD Studio Pro (I have version 2 still, perhaps version 3 has it) and iDVD don't have it either.
Why would the "Pro" level apps not have this cool slideshow feature that the entry-level app does? Is this buried somewhere in Aperture and I haven't found it?
Brad

Kevin Burns? Never heard of him.
We have this battle about once a week in one or more of the world's Final Cut Pro forums. Folks moving up from iMovie expect access to a collection of pre-canned transitions and image movements inside the expensive upgrade. "Why else would it cost so much?" one can legitimately ask.
Having Burns in Aperture might be important to you so please don't take the following observations personally.
The issue for most video professionals is one of pride and deep, deep resentment. Designing and programming of appropriately timed and composed rostrum camera moves in x-y-z space is far more complicated than the more or less random settings the K-B button will impose. And Mr Burns, bless his pointed little head, is somehow getting credit for an animation technique that was perfected long before his grandfather was born.
Including junk like the Ken Burns Effect in Aperture, come to think of it, might have been the deal breaker for us. Such tripe would have telegraphed the overall emptiness of the application.
Again, I don't mean to poke fun at anyone who feel they get useful movies out of the KB button. These are my issues. But consider the presence on your Nikon/Canon of the "Helmut Newton Effect" button. Would you be tempted to use it? More than once?
