Effects on players

Hi, I'm fairly new to photoshop and I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get a player to look like they do in these pictures - the glossy, dark look. Thanks

I have not had the need to do one yet, but this would be a Motion graphic as opposed to FCP. It's unfortunate because I image this being much more tedious with FCPX/Motion5 than with FCP7/Motion4. In FCP7, you could make your edits first: changing shots, deciding when to stop action, slow it down, speed it up, etc, and then you could export those edits and send to Motion, and then add in the graphics later. Now in FCPX, you cant send timeline items to Motion as a project (I really hope this feature gets added). Instead the best way (unless someone has discovered a better one) is to make the edits in FCPX as a seperate project, export the movie, then load it in Motion and do the edits. Its generally the same idea, except you need to make a seperate FCP project and export a file, whereas before you didnt have to. Plus in FCPX, youll then need to export again as a movie in Motion 5 to add it back in, previously, it would just update your changes in the timeline. Anyways, Im just ranting now haha.
Or if you have the latest compressor, you may be able to keep the video edits in the actual project, and I think Compressor lets you select an in and out point for what to export.
With me so far? Once in Motion, you can toy with shapes, or lighting/saturation with masks to highlight a player. You can keyframe paramters to make the shape move along with a player. Ive seen a lot of different things used to highlight players on ESPN and other stations, so your request is a bit vague and there is a lot that can be done. However, you would not have that level of graphical control in Final Cut, and this is where Motion comes in.

  • Itunes stopped playing my video

    First, I have itunes 6.0.4 and Quicktime 7.1.1. itunes suddenly quit playing any of my videos. Never had a problem before. Content consists of both music video (purchased and non itms) and downloaded TV shows from itms. I click on the item as usual and nothing happens. The view box says nothing playing. Non-video music plays okay. When I select a video and goto file/get info, I can play the video in the preview box. I can open the video with Quicktime and it all plays as it should. The only problem is playing from my itunes library screen. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem. I was looking in the forum to see if there is an answer, but apparently not. This *****. I have tons of videos and as of yesterday, I was able to play them all easily on iTunes 6. Today I upgraded to iTunes 7 only beacuse it was required by the iTunes music store to purchase a video, now I have purchased it I can not even play it. When I click on the video selection in my iTunes library nothing happens. When I click on the play button when the video is hightlighted in the player nothing happens. what the ****? So far it hasn't effected the players ability to play music. I tried reinstalling the software and that did nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

  • TabbedPanelsContent Display Problem

    The tab panel is working fine other than the "description"
    tab is outputing the last few words or lines twice. It is random
    where it starts. I provide a clip of the code and output below. At
    the very bottom of the message I provide a link to the online test
    example. I have read everything I can find on tabbed panels and
    search the forums but can't find this referenced before. What is my
    problem? What can I do to fix it.
    Thanks so much in advance for the help.

    You've stumbled on to a very interesting bug in IE!! This is
    a browser bug, not a bug in the widget implementation.
    This all has to do with the various style interactions at
    play in that area of your document, which include floats, borders
    and display:none content. The interesting thing here is that the
    length of the text content in a display:none div determines the
    length of the duplicated data.
    Here's the minimal set of markup necessary to reproduce the
    bug:

    That all said, I noticed that your TabbedPanels is improperly

    on divs that are inside other divs, not sure if that was
    intentional or not. We may want to fix that up and see if it gets

  • W520 will not play flash videos unless buffered in all browsers (youtube works...)

    I just bought my W520 referbished and I cannot watch flash videos unless they are fully buffered.  Several places suggests it has something to do with F-secure which does not appeared to be installed.  It also only effects certian players - not all.  I tried it on a verity of websites and have found that JWPlayer is one of them.  Youtube works fine.  I have tried reinstalling Flash -  I have updated all of my browsers (IE, Firefox [default], and Chrome).  Could this be a hardware problem?  Something to do with Optimus?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    ajipaul,
    Can you share the links for both of the videos which work and does not work fine?
    We tried our W520 streamming 1080p video from youtube and they work fine. Not sure if we got your issues right.

  • ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

    iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
    I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

    I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

  • Can two players use the same game app without erasing each other's scores?

    Can two players use the same game app on the same device without erasing each other's scores?  My two sons build up their characters and progress in their games, then the other one wants to play, erasing the first son's progress.
    Is it possible to create two player identities in the Game Center? 
    Is it possible to have two different Apple User ID accounts on the same device?  Is that even desirable?
    Many thanks!
    MCPROBW

    You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
    However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.

  • Premier,After Effects CS5.5 or 6 MPEG 2 Problem

    When using After Effects or Premier CS5.5 or 6 everytim I render an uncompressed video using MPEG2 the final product has a 1 sec pause or studder in the middle of the playback. The original video is uncompressed and looks fine. But this does not happen when using CS4 products only CS5.5 or 6. I have tried 5 windows operating systems and 3 types of media players and it is not my operating system. As of now I cant use the new CS5.5 or 6 Adobe products due to this problem. 

    Hi, sorry for my english. This problem is since cs5, whether imported from the Timeline or an uncompressed format. I have tried to change the settings and only in some cases delayed the pause or studder to another time in the video. The only way to fix it has been exporting an uncompressed avi and make the MPEG2 into ProCoder or Sorenson Squeeze

  • Asio Driver issue in Premiere Pro CC conflicting with all other media players on PC

    Whenever I have Premiere or audition or After effects opened---- should I want to play a media clip on J River Media center, or Windows Media Player, the Asio driver is locked by the Adobe products, so the other media players do not have access to it. This may be a new windows 8.1 phenomenon, as i never had this before with 64 bit Windows 7.
    I have had some success running the other media players on the lousey windows sound drivers, but they don't sound nearly as good as the Asio driver does, with its near zero latency.
    My sound card is a Lynx aes 16, and the Win 8.1 PC pushes the digital audio out to my Berkely DAC , then to separate mono bloc amps, into  Magnepan speakers as the reference audio system for my music and video editing....or for  entertainment listening :-)
    Does anyone have a solution that will force the Adobe CC software to release the Asio driver when I try to use J River Media center, or some other media player?

    I had this problem this evening 090813 after upgrading my Adobe Cloud Desktop. 
    I open Pro CC and had the  Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for (File name.......... )       Error
    Previous CC progs loaded and worked with problem.
    I uninstalled Pro CC - Restarted the computer - Re-installed Pro CC.
    Now working with no problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • After effects & Adobe Bridge preview Issue *freezing*

    Hello all,
    I wanted to begin learning After Effects CS4, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS4 is halting my education.
    If I explore any kind of After effects CS4 preset, and preview it inside of Adobe bridge, my pc freezes. The preview window, within Bridge CS4 turns blank white while it freezes,
    the Windows toolbar of Adobe bridge, says not responding temporarily, if a wait a little while around 30-45 seconds I regain control of my pc again, the preview box occasionally will show a still image and sometimes it will stay white or flicker. If I do wait the 30-45 seconds the toolbar window no longer says 'not responding' I can click to a (non) After effects preset folder, (for example) 'My family pictures' and it will operate normally but if I go back to the After effects CS4 presets again the freezing will occur once more.
    What I find strange is that Adobe Bridge previewing, works absolutely fine for my photoshop documents, Illustrator documents, and any Jpeg photos I have, all after effect presets fail to preview, regardless of type if it's a still shape background or animated sprite, the same freeze issue occurs
    I was wondering if anyone has helpful tips?
    so far I have downloaded all important driver updates for my graphics card, my card is a nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 256, I have also reinstalled bridge and AfterEffects, I have downloaded all the relevent players.
    I am a Windows vista user, also I have enough RAM I believe, just over 3 Giga
    I dont know how useful the info is on my Pc spec is, but I thought it could be worth mentioning.
    I have looked for a few hours to find some kind of thread with a similar problem I have been unsuccessful, I hope someone can help
    Kindest regards Julian

    Hi Curt y,
    I do have the latest Quicktime player installed, I would'nt have have thought that would halt me previewing CS4 after effect still shapes and backgrounds? but.. I'm not to sure if I'm honest.
    well I tried uninstalling and reinstalled my player still no sucess sadly.
    do you know roughly what date all these old threads popped up?
    I'm going to scavenge for them anyway in the the hope I find something useful. *must be positive*
    thank you Curt y, for giving me some of your time.
    regards Julian

  • After Effects + Adobe Media Encoder + Flash = Most Random File Sizes Ever

    Asking this question in this AE forum because I think more would have knowledge on the topic here than the Flash Forum. 
    I've heard that video compression is more of an art than a science...  Could someone provide me some insight on the following?
    -Created a 12 second, 30 FPS, 300x250 banner animation inside of After Effects
    -Exported for FLV/Flash to be placed inside of a 300x250 .FLA
    -Comps rendered directly from Adobe Media Encoder standalone instead of Render Queue in AE (for 2 pass .FLV's, and heard from various that .FLV's from render queue are not the prettiest at times). 
    I've always been under the impression that I would get smaller file sizes with SWF's externally linking to an FLV.  If I do it this way, I end up with: 
    41 KB .SWF  + 668 KB .FLV = 709 KB
    However, if I EMBED the same 668 KB .FLV to the FLA's timeline (not using the flvPlayback component) I end up with a 381 KB file size!
    I am just confused on the logic here, could someone explain the reasons for this?  I always thought my file size would be bigger if it was embedded to the timeline. 

    Actually I think it's the tons of extra AS code that make linked players fatter. Never could make sense of the why and how myself, but you can find enough alternate free players/ skins (nonverblaster for instance, which I use) that are a lot leaner.

  • Flash Audio Players

    I downloaded a Flash player for my website, and I'm trying to
    get it to play mp3's but if you compress them too much theres a
    flash bug where you get this "Chipmunk Effect". Thats where the
    audio is really sped up and sounds like the delicious rock trio the
    chipmunks.
    Anyway, the flash player I'm using doesnt support WMA files
    or anything, but I was wondering if there are players that support
    WMA's and if that woudl resolve/avoid this Chipmunk Effect whooy.
    I have to be able to reduce these audio file's size for my
    site, bandwidth issues... They're just phone calls so it doesnt
    matter if they're over compressed. I just have to be able to get it
    to work right.
    So basically what I'm looking for is maybe a better Flash
    audio player, or better info on what sort of audio formats / audio
    compressions Flash supports. OR anyway to get rid of that chipmunk
    effect when the Flash player is playing MP3s. Anyone have any
    ideas?
    This
    is the player I'm using now

    The way I understand it, if you compress MP3s outside of
    Flash to odd kHz rates that are not multiples of 8, this will
    happen. So if you have a 12kHz compressed file, rather than an 8hKz
    or 16kHz file, this playback problem will happen. Don't take me at
    my word for this, but I recall seeing such an explanation on
    another forum.

  • 2 white areas are visibly different in some media players/Youtube, but not others/Vimeo!

    Thank you for stopping by.
    It's like I have a ghost in Premiere!
    I uploaded the same video to Youtube and Vimeo and it looks totally different!
    Youtube shows the problem, Vimeo doesn't -
    Youtube:
    Vimeo:
    Any ideas why the screen capture background (recorded with Screencast-o-matic) appears darker in Youtube?
    Brightening it up in Premiere has no effect - Premiere shows both backgrounds as being pure white - so why does Youtube (and some media players - such as VLC player, depending on what video rendering settings are applied) show this difference in hue and do you know how I can export the video (which is h264) so that there's no possible way this can happen?
    Thank you for any leads!
    PS. Premiere Pro CC (v7.0.0 - 342)

    I'm back!
    With some results...
    If this box in VLC is checked, the mis-matching whites exists.
    If unchecked, the powerpoint background become exactly as bright as the camcorder video in the corner.
    (The reason things also look green & generally extra dim in the top screenshot  is because I applied your video limiter adjustment layer Richard,
    which didn't seem to affect the mis-match issue unfortunately)
    So, it seems like something to do with YUV / RGB conversions maybe? or mis matching?
    Hopefully useful research! Still not sure how to export from Premiere in a way that eliminates the risk of these 2 whites appearing differently, regardless of player/settings.
    In case useful, here's what MediaInfo tells me about the

  • What is  the maximum no. of apple tv players 2nd gen that users on forum have successfully used on home sharing off a 1gb network.

    The maximum no. of 2nd generation apple tv players that have been successfully used in home sharing mode on a 1gb or 100mb network????

    Apple TV is by it self in a category.
    With Apple TV 1 the limit was 5 Apple clearly stated that. The reason? Probably because the Apple TV 1 had a hard drive and was able to store content locally (quite a bit actually). This would make it more in line with authorized devices.
    You authorized device limit is 5 but this does not pertain to home sharing again something different.
    When you play content from an Apple TV you are streaming from an authorized device and as long as you have the same iTunes account on that Apple TV as the iTunes you are connecting to you will be ok.
    Now to the error. I have also had this error and I had it on a network with only 1 Apple TV connected and it is since iTunes 11. It seems every time Apple updates iTunes it has a bad effect on Apple TV. So I would not relate this error to the number of Apple TV's you have, every time I get this error I restart the Apple TV and its fine again.
    On a side not I used to run MANY Apple TV's off my xserver. I had my families homes networked with VPN. I would prefer to not say how many but it was quite a few. biggest problem there was multicast over VPN....whole other story.

  • Dance music 'Whoosh' effect

    I have been searching online for samples of that 'white noise sweeping whoosh' effect that you hear on alot of dance music, but am having a great deal of trouble finding anything decent.
    It occurred to me at this point that maybe I could make one myself using the Logic synths?
    Basically, I'm after a bit of advice how how to go about it, which is the best plugin to use, and do you guys know of any tutorials on this subject? I've scoured the web, but without much luck.

    Hmmm, iSchwartz (and the others),
    actually, I did not exactly mean phase cancellation but I was not too clear or detailed in my post, sorry. But in my opinion that definitely applies, or you have to take into consideration if you're using a width processor trying to liven up a single track (be it an effect sound or a synth, vocal etc). Of course it'd be somewhat (I guess an impossible) coincidence if you'd get two different white noise recordings to cancel each other out as they're random.
    I too pan my hats and shakers for eg. a little apart from each other, and frequency-overlapping synths might find more space, too, when separating them in the stereo field a little.
    What I kinda mixed up in my thoughts and the post was the phase cancellation and mono-compatibility issue and just losing the left-right effect of my tracks in a mono system. Fluffy and lush pads or big leads often get their lushness or big sound from the reverb and delays (and eq, comp,...) and when monoed the track often becomes bland since all the "3d" space is now tucked in the center. Now that I think of it maybe I have had a reverb plug back in the day that does cheap tricks to widen stuff because I've even heard the reverb almost vanish when monoed. Anyway, like I said, for (mono) club play it doesn't really make too much sence to be anal about making that whoosh sweep for eg. left>right because it won't be heard that way. I know you guys weren't really talking about that, I just brought it up because I've experienced that myself.
    Like the engineers say, it can be argued that the benefit of the mono club system might be greater than my grief of losing the full stereo field as so few people in a club would hear that anyway, and the loudness and bass that's felt and not only heard also makes you hear not so accurately (+ vodka or the extra chemicals some clubbers enjoy...). I don't know, but my (maybe a stupid) analogy is that I make my stuff stereo, it'd be nice if it was replayed and heard in stereo (in the home cd players and radios as well as clubs). When I've had the choice, I've at least monitored stuff in stereo when performing so I can fool myself to forget that the room hears mono...

  • Upgraded from PP2.0 to CS4, now DVDs freeze in players

    My DVDs used to play perfectly in players when I used PP2.0, but now they always freeze using CS4 PP to Encore.
    I tried reducing the Mbps.  File: Project Settings:  Advanced:  Changed Mbps down to the lowest setting, to 6.0Mbps.  I still get the freezing.  Lowering the Mpbs in this setting did not seem to make a difference.
    What is the difference between "Project Settings" and "Edit Quality Presets"?  I also tried to change those, but that did not help either.
    File: Edit Quality Presets: Export Settings.  I Reduced these Mbps settings too, but when I check the settings in this area, it always defaults back to where it started at anyway, so I think this area does not help.  Also, when I change these settings, it does not effect the "Project Settings", so this seems useless for what I am trying to achieve.
    Any ideas why my DVDs now freeze in every player, and why changing the settings does not help?  By the way, same computer, same DVD burner.

    I still curious about this.  It seems my choices of DVD quality seem to be limited to 9mbps, 8, 7, and 6 when I use "Project Settings".  Seems very limited!  The "Edit Quality Presets" gives the same quality choices I could get from the old PP2.0, but does not seem to apply to the quality settings for my DVD in PP-CS4 and Encore.
