Dripping Spray Paint effect in Motion

Anybody got any thoughts on how to create nice dripping paint (as if from an aerosol can) using motion/particles etc? The splats and splashes in the content library are ok, but not quite right for the project i'm working on..
any thoughts would be great..

don't know if it's exactly what you're loking for, but a few weeks ago i picked up the Riot Gear dvd from videocopilot.net and i've been using the splats and drips that come with that with really good results. for $49 you can't really go wrong...check it out

  • Looking for "cut-out template / spray paint" effect shortcut plugin.

    Does anyone know of an existing action or plugin that produces a realistic "cut-out template / spray paint" effect like the one seen here?
    I know I could accomplish this manually, but it would take a lot longer and I have a series of these I need done.
    Thanks!

    I doubt anyone can work out exactly what you are after, from the way you have worded your question.  Will all these templates be the same, and if not, what will they look like?  Have you tried searching for Brush sets using the search criteria you are after? 

  • Spray paint effect

    how do make a sort of spray paint effect without making it
    look pixelated or like uve just use the blur filter?

    What exactly do you mean by spray paint effect? A place to
    start might be to use some Bitmaps:
    http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=search&w=1&txt=spray+paint&p=1
    You can apply Convert To Alpha and Color Fill live filters to
    make the white areas in those Bitmap transparent.
    If you want to make it from scratch, try drawing with
    brushes, then use the smudge tool to get some streaks, then use Add
    Noise to make it flecky, then you can Convert to Alpha(to remove
    the white flakes as transparent) and Color Fill once again.

    Spray some symbols
    Switch to other symbol tools to variate the angle/size/color/Tint/etc

  • Paint effect to create an alpha channel

    Can one use the paint effect in Motion 3 to create an alpha channel. I want to be able to create a matte around someones eye. I wanted to be able to create my key by painting it on. Will paint effect do this or do I need to use shake. Or is there another way of achieving this with Motion 3.

    This is really easy to do and there might be an even easier way, but this i how I did it:-
    1) Create a group with your image you want to mask
    2) Add an image mask to your image and toggle to invert mask and stencil off
    3) Create another group but turn the visibilty off
    4) drop this group into the image mask
    5) Within this group, select the paint stroke tool basic solid and paint away!
    Be careful you don't have the write on enabled as the mask will draw on, but maybe thats what you want!

  • I am new to After Effects and Motion 5 and I have a question

    Hello there,
    I am currently working on a personal side project for a family member. She would like me to make a video with recorded audio and pictures from the 1920’s for my grandmother. I would like to give the parallax and 2.5D effect a try but as I never used After Effects or Motion before I am a little overwhelmed.
    I have about 80 images to animate. Right now I am in the ‘Photoshop phase’. I am going through each image and separating the foreground, mid-ground, and background, into separate layers and saving the .psd files to eventually bring into Motion 5 (or After Effects) and animate.
    After seeing this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrYyX3bHI8
    I really wanted to animate the images I had in a similar fashion. I really loved how they seemed to move and know that I can accomplish this appearance with the pin tool in After Effects. After seeing this video however, I continued looking into the 2.5d effect and found this movie for Motion 5:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxlm2nkVLA
    I bought Motion 5 because I thought the interface seemed more user friendly to newcomers (like myself), the effects were similar, and because I couldn’t afford to pay for After Effects every month.
    But now I am kicking myself. Motion 5 is lovely and I do like the camera effects but I don’t think I can accomplish the ‘puppet’ effect with it like I can in After Effects. Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a plugin for Motion 5? Can I send my .psd files into Motion 5, set up the timeline and cameras, save it, and then move it into After Effects and then use the pin tool to manipulate the images and layers?
    I have read that some say it is hard to move Motion files into After Effects? If this is the case, could I save the Motion file, open it in Adobe Premiere, and THEN open it in After Effects and play around with it?
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.

    2.5D is fairly easy to do in Motion... that's the good news. The bad news is: if you don't know what you need to do to accomplish it, it's practically impossible to do easily or well.
    The first problem to overcome is perspective, and the other problem is parallax.
    These two tutorials (by Mark Spencer) will give you all the information you need dealing with moving Photoshop Layers in Z-space. Even though the point of the tutorials is a "fly through", the same information applies to creating 2.5D. Just animate the camera laterally (sweep) instead of dolly.

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

    Someone please tell me 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.

  • Paint Effect

    Hello Everyone!
    I'm relatively new to photoshop and would like to know how I could achieve this intertwining paint effect...   Please reply fast! Thankss

    You have to be a bit lateral in the way you look at and interpret the tutorials.  In fact I used two Render effects to do this:
    This shows the layers involved, and the settings for the upper Hue/Saturation layer.
    Start with foreground set to the colour you want the marble to be, and background white.
    Make a new layer and go Filter > Render Clouds
    Use a levels layer to harden up the clouds (bring black and white sliders towards the centre)
    Now make a new layer, and fill with 50% grey, and go Filter > Render Difference Clouds.
    Open a Levels layer above the Difference clouds, and clip to the difference clouds layer (the left most icon in the properties panel).  Adjust black and white sliders so you get thin white lines on black background.
    Select the difference clouds and levels layer, and merge them (Ctrl e or Cmd e)
    Invert the resulting layer, so you have black lines on white background
    Make a Hue/Saturation layer above, and clip to the layer below. Click on Colourize and adjust settings to suite.  You can use the image above as a guide.
    Set the difference clouds layer blend mode to Overlay, and adjust opacity for best effect.
    I used Liquify and the Smudge tool on the Clouds layer.  The smudge tool is probably most useful because you can see what is happening in real time.  I think that was everything I did, but ask if you get stuck.
    Good luck.
    [EDIT]  Just looked at your example again.  I used the Smudge tool at 50%, but if you set it to 100% you would get the long swirls more easily.
    BTW  The Difference Clouds bit above is the classic Photoshop way of making Lightning.

  • Reflection White effect in Motion 2?

    Very new to Motion 2, I still have a greatt deal to learn. But I was wonder if there's a way to create the refection effects seen in iMovie HD, version iLife 6? I really like that effecta nd would like to be able to create similar effects in Motion. Can this be done? If so, can someone give be a step-by-step or point me in the general direction? Thank you!
    Mark

    Thank you Patrick, but specifically, I'm trying to figure out how I can create the 3D motion as created by the iMovie 6 "Reflection White (or black) theme. I can see, somewhat, how to create a reflection and have that reflection be 3D and move, What I can't figure out is how to create the perspective of the image, or movie, changing with the movement—e.g., appearing as if to slide along a path and shrink or grow as it moves along the X, Y and Z planes. As with the "Reflection" themes, pictures and movies and move and swing in 3D space. I'm trying to simulate that type of motion.
    Thank you so much.

  • How Did I Do It?  Oil Painting Effect- Really Realistic!

    I'm sure I was using PS CS3 32 bit on Windows XP when I did this...
    Notice in the model's hair the shiny reflections of the thick "oil" brush strokes.  I have used Eye Candy and Photo Tools before, but about all I find when I search now is pixel bender, and that doesn't come close.  Any ideas?  I would love to be able to do this again!
    I'm using 12.0.4 64 bit on Windows 7 Home Premium.  Thanks!

    There are lots of ways you might have done that.
    You might google for photoshop Oil painting effect or Russell Brown has some great painting videos for cs5

  • Oil painting effect in Photoshop 7.0

    How can I emulate oil painting effect in Photoshop 7.0.1?
    I don't want to upgrade to newer versions .
    Are there alternatives? thanks.

    GIMP, Krita, PDPaint, Flamepainter and otehr freeware programs have all sorts of vector blur/ smear/ flame filters that could emulate this in one way or another...

  • Paint effect with Illustrator file

    I have an Illustrator graphic of a plant that I want to animatate to look like it is growing.  The Stroke effect does not give me that desired look as it just animates the outline of the shape and the Paint effect does not seem to work the same in Creative Cloud as it did in prevoius versions of AE.
    I have a few questions.  Can you not use the paint tool on Illustrator files?  If I try to double click the layer to open in the layer window, the computer beeps.  I have to right click to open in the layer window.  I also cannot not use the paint tool on the AI file once it is loaded in the layer window.  As a test, I saved the AI files as a PSD and tried to use the paint tool to create my animation and it appears that no longer use that tool to reveal an image.  I can just animate the strokes.
    Is there a way to use the Stroke effect the way I want to or is there another way to create my animation. 

    I did figure out after posting this that I was using one .ai file and one .eps file—the .ai was showing up fine in the pdf and the eps was showing up screwy.
    odd thing though, when I just re-exported using pdf/x–1a settings, now both images appear muddy! but fine when I turn "overprint preview" on. I just don't want my publisher to have to tell everybody to turn overprint preview on...they shouldn't have to do that for editors etc, non design people.
    maybe the new "smallest file size" will be fine though since this is a press preset...we'll see.

  • Oil Paint effect to Video Timeline Clip

    Check out this video I put together for this question,
    http://youtu.be/tPiNYqk3BcQ
    As you can see I'm just playing around w/ the effect/amounts etc.
    I had to manually apply this effect at every frame in the Photoshop's Timeline, which takes a to long... I would love to do it to whole clips. What's the best workflow for that?
    A way I tried w little success before was to split the clip into individual frames, (forget how to do that) & then apply a batch command to all the pics, I remember trying this method & it not working w/ Oil Paint effect.
    Thanks for your help.

    You can apply the Filter to an imported clip in Video Timeline Animation as opposed to Frame Animation.
    But if you are trying to animate the settings of the Filter I guess you may be trying to fit a round peg in a square hole (or however that figure of speech goes) and might be better served with using the proper program for the task, possibly After Effects.

  • FCPX  unable to open effects in motion

    in FCP X every time i try to open an effect in Motion it reads " there was a problem making a copy of the effect the file could not be written"

    I am sorry I misunderstood you. But the usual first thing trash preferences both for Motion and FCPX with this utility http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/ which is free (maybe you have already done that)

  • Lightning effect in Motion 2.0

    I have search far and near and cannot figure out how to create a lightning / electrical arcing effect in Motion 2. There are two clips (.MOV) of lightning in Motion but this is not what I need. I can mimmick this effect Photoshop, but those are all still shots. You lose the fluidity of a true arcing effect.
    Is there a plug in similar to After Effects available for Motion? Has anyone else successfully created this effect in Motion? Any direction someone can point me would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I tried a line and displacement map, but couldn't get any movement on it unless I cranked up the vertical scale and even then, it didn't warp the way I expected it. I'm not sure why unless it has something to do with the way Motion builds the line.
    So messing around, here's something I found that seems to work.
    I created a line and added a bloom to it. Then I added the fisheye filter to the layer the line is in. For more realism, 2 or more looks better. I position them and then add a wriggle behavior to the center parameter by right-clicking it and choosing wriggle. If I want the warp to look smoother, I add an average behavior on top of the wriggle.
