Effect or trick to allow full double exposure

hi sports fans,
I'm looking to try a double exposure style camera trick and I can't figure out how to pull this effect off in FCP. So here's the story.
I will be shooting (on miniDV) an actor who will have a few lines. After he says his lines, WITHOUT MOVING THE CAMERA, I will have him run through some other lines in a different position within the frame.
I'm trying to find a way to lay these two clips on top of each other so it will appear that he is interacting with himself. Just taking the opacity down on one clip won't do the trick. I want both images to be strong and not transparent.
Is there an effect in FCP that will allow me to have both images on the screen at 100% opacity?
Any help is super apprciated!
I also have Motion, is there anything in Motion that might fit the bill?

In the olden days, we'd have done this with a matte box in the camera, film camera.
You could do it in post using a wipe pattern that might be hidden by a set piece, say, a vertical post.
In addition to the suggestions already given, try looking up DIFFERENCE MATTE. It's difficult to get the shooting situation precise but it will absolutely give you the results you want.
The effect you describe has been for many decades in lots of different ways. It is popular in music videos and many of those have blogs or how-we-did-it Web sites for the artists or producers.

Double exposure effect

Hi,
I was trying to find a way to imitate analogue photography's double exposure but I failed. I did not find any useful online help neither. Of course I know about layers' blending options (multiply, screen) etc. What PS gives me at the moment are not at all satisfactory at all as the result always shows an 'effect' instead of seeing the two images merging into each other.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Peter

I do this with Blend If sliders under Layer Options.
Simply double click the layer, and then move the sliders on "This Layer" or "Underlying Layer". You can split my channel color frequency, or by a global luminosity setting. This way you can target the exposed areas to blend only in shadows (like in film) or on highlights. It gives a lot of creative freedom and play. Once you start mixing hte Blending Modes, and the Blend-If sliders you can get a lot of the effect you're after.
Here is a video to see how I made this one that I just grabbed real quick from my machine. Double Exposure Tutorial.mp4 - Google Drive

Double exposure effect using rotoscope? Please Help!

I would like to create a double exposure effect like this one done in photoshop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GesHc9y_zVY
I can't quite figure out how to do it, lets say the face is moving slightly, so I would rotoscope a mask around it, however how to I keep the background image within this mask? Can I use the same mask twice?
Thanks for any help

Use the face as an Alpha matte on the other image.

Double Exposure Photograph

Is it possible to unscramble a photograph which is an accidental double exposure using any version of Photoshop elements V5 onwards, to get back to the original pictures. For example take a picture, landscape format, then rotate the camera and take a picture, portrait format. Then realise that the picture is a double exposure. Question...... is it possible using the functions of PSE to somehow obtain two separated layers from what is in effect a flattened image.

Sounds like you're trying to make a HDR from two images.
The minimum number of photos should be three.

Double Exposure

Hi, I have a double-exposed b&w family photo from 1961, no negative as far as I can find, just the printed photo, that is a double exposure.
In the foreground, so to speak, is me at 3 months holding a rattle while lying on my parent's bed. In the background (though it's hard to say which pic was taken first) are my brother and an older sister having a snowball fight with a not far off barbed-wire fence and distant treeline with snow covered fields... The snow really blends into the bed spread and light colored walls of the bedroom...
Does anyone have any tips or techniques or pointers to such, for accurately separating the two images into separate photos using Photoshop? I'll be working with shades of gray, which may make things easier or maybe harder.
Thanks!

Both exposures are now a single image.
All that you can hope to do is to try to isolate a single item (like the baby) and clone out the overlapping objects that are "over-printed" over its surface.

Double Exposure RAW Files Poorly Processed

I have an Olympus OMD-EM5. I'm shooting double exposures and when I import the RAW files into Aperture, once the Aperture preview is generated the picture becomes horribly over processed. Saturation seems maxed out on things like leaves, but also colors shift: a pale blue flower turns deep purple. I tried shooting RAW + JPEGs and the JPEGs of course look fine in Aperture as they do in camera and are not reprocessed in any apparent way. So the glitch seems to be in processing RAW double exposures.
Is anyone else working with double exposures seeing the same problem with their RAW files? Any ideas and what is happening?
Thanks

The camera manual says "a RAW image recorded on a card can be overlaid with multiple exposures and stored as a separate image.
It might be -- iirc, this is how Canon does it -- that the resulting "separate image" is a JPG (or can be viewed correctly only as a JPG).

Problem Exporting versions ---I get double exposures

To make calendars for Christmas gifts, yesterday I made a file on my Desktop to export images into. As in the past, my choices were: Export -> Versions - Jpeg Original 300. Problem: This time, all of the photos exported as double exposures - the double in all was the same, a photo from another project, appearing in the upper left corner, about 1/2 size. I first noticed this problem with a blog posting of 2 photos I did on Dec 6th. `Didn't think much of it then, and didn't do export any more versions until yesterday.
Background: I use Aperture 3, and it has been updated to 3.1.1 I tried Repairing the database and Rebuilding the database. Neither solved the problem. I considered moving the Album of Calendar photos into a whole new Library, but didn't know how to move them and maintain their size, without the Export Versions step - and hence having the same problem) F.Y.I. When I exported a Master, instead of a version, there was no double exposure.
Not one to give up and anxious to get the calendars ordered, this AM I went at it again ... same problem, but I found one way around it. i.e. When I use Export -> Version -> Original Size* --- there are no double exposures. (*vs Original Size 300) So, I'm back to the calendars adding photos via this route.
All explanations and problem solving suggestions will be appreciated. THANKS.

I didn't intentionally set up that watermark, and don't recall ever playing around to do so. But it was definitely there! Thanks to you, the problem is now solved. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Happy Holidays!
Noreen
P.S. If I ever want to set up a watermark, I now have a sense of how to do it ... somehow scaling the watermark to be smaller and less invasive!

Camera shake reduction filter - double exposure blur problem

I am having a problem using the camera shake reduction filter to work on a digital image of an old photo which had a clear cut motion blur which formed a
double exposure when the camera motion stopped... this can be seen when the image is enlarged. Is it possible to sharpen these type of images ?

Can you post a small bit of it?
Usually the Shake Reduction tool will improve an image some, especially if you hunt around with the position, size, and shape of the analysis region until it gets it just about right, but there's really not a magical fix for motion-blurred images. Such an image, with whatever recovery mechanism, will not ever look as an image that's well-exposed to begin with.

How do I fix a double exposure?

I have some photos I took years ago, and then took some more, on the same film, not realizing I already had photos on the frames, resulting in double exposures. I want to keep both sets of photos - two different locations, some light scenes, some darker, of people and objects. How can I best correct these? I have Adobe Pkhotoshop Elements 9, I believe it is.

What is Photoshop CS# (PSCS)?
Photoshop is a professional tool used throughout many industries as the standard for digital image manipulation and painting. It has very rich, and often complex, tools and options. As such, it comes with a professional price tag.
What is Photoshop Elements (PSE)?
Photosohp Elements is a consumer product. It's made for users who don't need as many features and complex options. It has a simpler design, guided workflows, and an organizer to help you manage your files.
What are the some of the specific differences?
This side-by-side comparison provides an overview on the differences between the various versions of the Photoshop Family of products:
Adobe Photoshop family – Comparison guide
Here is a list of some of the major differences between Photoshop Elements and Photoshop:
Adobe Camera Raw differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements
Photoshop Elements comes with a database driven Digital Asset Management application called Elements Organizer. Photoshop comes with Bridge, a file navigation system that operates much like Windows Explorer or Macintosh Finder. While there are several functions that both Organizer and Bridge use, they are fundamentally different applications and serve different purposes.
Photoshop Elements does not support the following color modes: Duotone, CMYK, Lab, Multichannel
There is very little 16-bit support in Photshop Elements. You cannot create or convert an image to 16-bit, only open images that are already 16-bit. While working with a 16-bit image you cannot work with layers. The following tools do not work: Magic Wand, Selection Brush, the family of Type tools, Recompose, Cookie Cutter, Straighten, the brush based tools (Paint Brush, Eraser, Dodge, Blur, etc), or the shape based tools (Rectangle, Ellipse, Custom Shape, etc). Many filters do not work, mainly those featured in the Filter Gallery.
Photoshop Elements does not fully support Smart Objects. While you can open files that already have Smart Object layers, you cannot create Smart Objects nor open the files embedded as Smart Objects.
Photoshop Elements does not have a Channels panel. Nor does it have the Channel Mixer Adjustment/Enhancement.
Photoshop Elements cannot merge multiple/bracketed photo exposures into an HDRimage. There is no support for 32-bit images. However, Photoshop Elements does offer Photomerge Exposure as a similar function.
Photoshop Elements does not use the same range of Content-Aware functions. While the Spot Healing Brush includes the Content-Aware option in both applications, Photoshop Elements does not have Conent-Aware as an option in the Edit > Fill Layercommand (known simply as Edit > Fill in Photoshop). However, Photoshop Elements does use a Content-Aware Fill option when creating a Photomerge Panorama, this is not an option in Photoshop. Photoshop CS6 introduced the Content-Aware Extend and Move tools, which are not available in Photoshop Elements.
Photoshop Elements has fewer vector based tools. The Pen family of tools are not available. The Shape tools do create a vector shape layer, but the vector points cannot be edited individually. There is no Paths panel.
The licence from a boxed purchase of Photoshop Elements is multi-platform (as of version 9). This means you can install on either Windows or Macintosh or both without having to purchase a separate version. This is not true with Photoshop.
Photoshop Elements does not have the Subtract or Divide blending modes that were introduced in Photoshop CS5.
Photoshop and Photoshop Elements can both Transform selected pixels in the following ways: Scale, Rotate, Skew, Distort, and Perspective. Photoshop Elements does not have the Warp Transform option.
The Photoshop Elements Color Picker does not include the following options available in Photoshop's Color Picker: the Not a web-safe color alert icon, the Add to Swatches and Color Libraries buttons, and the Lab and CMYK models.
Photoshop Extended CS6 has the following panels that Photoshop Elements 11 does not: 3D*, Brush, Brush Presets, Channels, Character, Character Styles, Clone Source,Color, Layer Comps, Measurement Log*, Notes, Paragraph, Paragraph Styles, Paths, Properties, Styles, Timeline, and Tool Presets.
Photoshop Elements does not support Extensions such as Mini Bridge and Kuler.
*These features are only available in Photoshop Extended and are not available in Photoshop Standard. See the Comparison Guide above for more feature differences.

How can I do a double exposure effect on two moving faces?

I'm making a video and it's a face shot, but what I want to do is put another video inside of the face as the face is moving as well. Will I have to mask the face frame by frame or is there an easy way to execute this situation?

So I want to put another video inside of this video, but on the left hand side of the face. (the darker areas) @andrewyoole . lol And what is it called now?? Is there a new name?

HDMI to DVI adapter not allowing full resolution when using Mac OS but does with Windows 8.1

I have a Mac Mini and using the HDMI to DVI cable that came with the computer the maximum resolution it will allow is 1280 x 1024. I have 2 of the same monitors. The other is connected with DisplayPort to VGA adapater and displays full resolution (1920 x 1080) on both monitors but the HDMI to DIV will only show 1280 x 1024. I thought maybe it was my DVI cable or the adapter but when I boot up in Windows 8.1 through bootcamp both monitors display at full 1920 x 1080 resolution. Why does Windows give me the option for full resolution on both but the Mac OS doesn't? All the latest updates have been installed. I've contacted support and all the things they had me do didnt work. I see all these posts with people complaining about the same resolution issues. Is it that difficult for this to work?

Humm... the dual Samsung 21.5" monitor setup on my 2010 Mac Mini running Mavericks works a expected.One is on the HDMI to DVI adapter and the other in on a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
Try > Display Menu from the Mac App Store and see if you can select 1920 x 1080 for both monitors using it.
Addtitionally, are you sure that it the HDMI to DVI monitor that is not getting the correct resolution...? Most people are complaining that it is a VGA connected monitor that is not getting the correct resolution.
If it turns out to be VGA connected monitor, then try using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and DVI cable for that monitor instead of VGA.

Flash Player stopped allowing full screen after update....

Some where arround 10.0 the flsh player on my XP and Vista computers stopped going to full screen when using the little square in the lower right corner of the viewing area... The screen switches to blank white screen while audio continues in the backround... hitting excape brings back the previous screen with the small movie viewing area in the middle of the computer screen. I noticed some where around this time hovering over the square that used to switch to full screen no longer brought up the text telling what the square was supposed to do....ie switch to full screen for the movie...At first I thought this was a Hulu move to get me to purchase the movies... The same results were on YouTube as well and other sites... I noticed that for a time Internet Explirer was able to switch to full screen but Firefox was not... I found that an update of the flash player on IE caused the same loss of full screen as on Firefox... (switch to blank white screen..) Chrome has the same result... Blank white sceen with audio in the background...A search of the forum messages seems to point out a problem that comes and goes as versions come and go... I have found google search results that should lead one to a site that would let you go back to a version that worked for me, but everything leads me to the site that will down load the latest version included the last version that indicated it was fixing my problem and may have for the other hardware and software combinations... but not for any of my computers with XP or Vista... If there was a paid version of Flash player that would allow me to expand the movie beyond the size of a post card, I would buy it... I found a telephone number that apparent linked to India or somewhere where they will support for money but the operator did not give me any confidence that he would do anything other than take the cash....If any one has a "fix" for this, I would sign up for the support, or buy the version or what ever Adobe wants me to do to fix my problem... My email is [email protected] I know that complaining about "free software" is frowned upon, but when the use of the software is demanded by having Hulu and others work only with their software, I think some effort to make the software work can be expected....Should we take the position that if we have a version that works, don't allow any updates...

I haven't read the full text of your post, only "blank white screen on fullscreen". If there are any other important info in the long text that follows, please let me know...
Most issues with fullscreen can be corrected by either
disabling Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings)
or installing the latest available device drivers for the video card

After Effects is NOT using the full Twelve GB of memory on my Mac Pro late 2013 dual video cards

I would like to know if there is a reason why AE CC12 and CC13 (2014) is not using the full amount of video card memory on my MP late 2013. It's six GB per freaking card I invested in and its not accessing it.
Is there a work around this issue?

Why shouldn't it. When I upgraded to this new Mac Pro late 2013 with its dual video cards. Premier turned into a blasting fast editor. I no longer need to render my edited cuts and the scrubbing of preview and timeline footage is phenomenal. The only performance boost I've seen in AE with this new system is in rendering and I can't even say its double as fast in comparison to Premier or Encoder and its an 8-Core system with 32GB of ram. Everything else is flying.
So again to answer your why should it. I rebuttal with "Why shouldn't it". The other two mentioned programs are using GPU resources to improve performance why is AE so behind the curve.
I'm not the only one asking why. I was in the audience at a Dmala meeting here in LA with Todd Kopriva and Al Mooney previewing AE and Premier 2014.
People kept asking Todd about performance boost in between questions about new features. Todd finally just asked what do you prefer a couple of new features or performance boost. Everyone wanted performance boost over new features. If you think I'm making this up go ask Todd Kopriva.

How do I make After Effects CS5.5 preview in full FPS?

I have After Effects CS5.5 and whenever I put a clip into it and try to play the clip in a preview I get a message in the player that says its playing at a certain frame rate out of the frame rate it should be and then in parentheses (not realtime). How do I fix this because the average FPS I get on a preview is around 9 FPS which for me is unusable a lot of the time.

To answer your question directly, don't push play! AE can't play a thing because it was never designed to. Do a RAM Preview by hitting zero on the numeric keypad.
And since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time. It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
So how do you get the basics? You go here: http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html.
