Extending video effect

Hello
I'm quite new to Premiere and I am trying to help out a friend with extending a video he has.
We are using CS4.
Basically he has a video of a lightbulb on a black background, the video starts as a totally black screen where the bulb is not visable and during the duration of the video, the lightbulb is turned on and the video goes from a black screen to a fully lit lightbulb.
The last frame of the video shows the bulb fully lit and the light from the bulb covers around 50% of the black background.
What we need to do, is extend the video so that the light continues and covers 100% of the black background, so that the last frame shows a fully white background with no bulb visable.
What I currently have on my timeline is the full video running and then after the last frame of the video, I have a static image loaded which runs for 30 seconds.
My thought is to somehow increase the brightness of the static image in a tween, so that the tween of the image brightness runs directly after the video, giving the effect we need.
My question is, what settings would be best to change in order to give a good effect of light increasing, should I just use brightness controls? "Color Correction" seems like it has a good selection of effects, but im a bit baffled on which ones I should try tweaking.
Thanks

Hmm, that sounds interesting...
can you upload a single frame ( the last frame ) of the lightbulb and background from the video ( not your static frame but the video frame before it )... ??
That would be fun to play with
offhand I would say use photoshop and create a mask or two ( one for bulb and one for background ) and manipulate it that way...
I dont have after effects, so dont know how that could be used to do what you want...

Premiere Elements 7: track matte key video effect does not work?

I want to use the track matte key video effect to fade out some cropped video clips. So I did a test:
first track: video clip
second track: PNG file, black with white circle
third track: video clip with FX with second track (here: Video 5) and luminance
As you can see in the picture the small preview pic above the effects shows the effect like I expected: a circle with the content of the third, lowest, clip. But the large video preview shows the first clip.
What did I do wrong?
I tested other settings and track orders. No efforts.

Bill, thanks again for your help! Good tutorial. That's what I need in principle! My try was a bit more complicated ...
But I can't help. The white area stays (see screenshot top left corner). Only some of the small blurred area around the shape shines through as I could see playing around without blurring the video clip.
I used:
title with white (it is 100% white) shape and blur effect above
video clip with track matte effect and matte alpha on the title track, reversed (blur effect on whole clip like in the tutorial)
Rendering and export does not change anything.
I'm feeling a bit stupid.

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

What video effect for color desaturation? (e.g. Hue/Saturation in Photoshop)

Hi all,
What is the Premiere equivalent of the HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer found i Photoshop ? I am trying to slightly desaturate (about -53%) my movie to give it a more gritty look. I could easily get the look I wanted in Photoshpo by going to NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER-->HUE/SATURATION.
Is there a similar approach for Premiere? In the Video effects folder somewhere? Thanks!

Use the "Fast Color Corrector and "Saturation".

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.

Help with adding video effects.

Okay, so I am very new with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and decided to start working with video effects.
So far I can add an effect onto a video clip that I dragged down from the source monitor, but that applies the effect to the whole video track. I want it to start and end at a certain point.
I have read the Adobe Help Viewer on effects many times over and over, but still, I cannot get it to work.
I have set in and out put points in my Timeline, and went into the effects controls and peaked around, but have had no success at all with getting my effect to start and end at a certain point.
Can anyone help me out a little bit? I'm sure you are all Pro's at this, haha.

Is it possible to set IN/OUT points for video effects within a single clip in PE4?

Hello,
In PE4, Is it possible to use keyframes to simply turn certain video effects on/off at different points within a single clip ?
Some effects (i.e. Invert)have a Blend With Original setting which makes this easy to achieve, but others (i.e. Ripple)do not.
I understand how to use keyframes to adjust effect properties at different points within a clip, I just can't find a way to simply 'turn-off' or bypass an effect for a period of time.
Thanks All, CB

Chris,
As Steve points out, most Effects are OFF, by default (usually setting their parameters to 0). I just add a Keyframe for that Effect, with those properties, where you want the Effect to be OFF (but check that each Effect that you use starts as OFF, just to be sure). Then, in between the OFF settings, I add Keyframes with the desired parameters to invoke that particular Effect.
One can also use the Razor/Sissors to cut the Clip into segments (just do not move them) to keep the Keyframes in one area of the original Clip. I usually work on the entire Clip, as once the Keyframe is set to OFF for that Effect, no more Keyframes are needed.
Some Effects also have a Bypass setting, that can be Keyframed (in P Pro, and assume in PE). This can be handy to fully turn OFF any Effect. Note: even in P Pro, not all Effects have a Bypass setting.
As usual with PE (and P-Pro and PS), there can be a couple of ways to accomplish the same thing. One can choose the method that suits them best.
Good luck,
Hunt

Video effects (none button) does not exist in inspector window

New to iMovie 09. Only issue I am having so far is finding the video effects. I select a clip and then open the inspector window. But when I click on "Clip", there is no "None" button to open the effects window. It only shows some info on "Stabilizatoin". Nothing else. Under the "Video" button are the exposure and color adjustments, etc.
I am sure I am overlooking something simple, but I have read through all documentation and this forum and nothing seems to be working. I have set "Show Advanced Options" from preferences.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated !

If you select the clip then hit Letter "i" for Inspector, you'll get a window that roughly looks like this (bottom half is missing because clipped it off). What you are most interested in clicking on is the Video Effect: pulldown menu. When you click on it, the Inspector flips around and gives you thumbnail images of all the video fx you can apply. I have iMovie '11, not '09 so your version might look slightly different.

How to save video effects for title templates?

I just started playing with Premiere Pro CS4.
I have a beginners question, hope you don't mind:
In my video I use a third-low title to tell the name of songs played. I put them in a bin, basically just copy the first one and change the names in the copies. But when I add them to the timeline I noticed it looks much more professional to add a video-effect where opacity goes from 0 to 100% in a second, and then the other way at the end.
My problem is that I seem to have to do this over and over again, for each title. Is there a simple way to make one title-template, put it on the timeline, add video-effects, and then save that and make copies just changing the text in time-line? That would save me a lot of work, and the video-effects would be consistent in looks and timing.
Thanks for any hints or tips for this newbie.

Unusable video effects in fcpx

fcpx 10.0.9, mac osx 10.8.5
video effects do not respond when scrolling over them (after having selected a clip), or turn black or pink. no preview available.
when moving them on top of a clip, they cannot be adjusted.
not all effects have this problem. only the Looks effects.
all settings of these effects are also set automatically to min. or max. when putting them on top of a clip.
I have reïnstalled FCPX, Motion and Compressor, without result.
It is also not possible to render or export/share the video directly within fxpx or compressor. Compressor scips all color corretion.
I have to make an 10bit uncompressed file first, then import in compressor. Then it works...
I cannot switch to fcpx 10.1, because ProTools is not working with Mavericks yet...
anyone experienced this before?
thanks

done that. didn't help.
just red something about a sony xdcam plugin.
deleted that also.
didn't work...

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.

Which video effects for vhs lp mode?

a single vhs tape containing six hours of video is captured to mpg format. as you can imagine, the quality is lower than one might like. studying every video effect offered by pp4 would take me a lifetime. can you suggest a few effects i might look at for improving the quality of this low quality video?
--david (neophyte pp4 user)

Craig's right though, I know it's a pain and will take a lot more HD space, but if you can capture as DV, make your changes, and then export to mpg the results will be much better. I made DVD's of three old VHS tapes that were multi-generation copies and decades old. They were concert videos shot from the audience with VHS, and they had faded out terribly over the years. I mostly just did some sharpening and adjusted the color, gamma, light, and contrast. I also deinterlaced with TMPGEnc while doing the mpg conversion. They all came out quite a bit better. The bigger challenge was restoring the sound.

Video Effect to reduce lighting overexposure

Hey Everybody,
I am new to this forum and this my first post, so first off i'd like to say hi to everybody.
I am working on editing video i shot of a musician performing in a coffee house and am wondering which video effect to use in Final Cut Express 4 to remove or reduce lighting overexposure.
The ambient lighting in the coffee house was turned down via a dimmer to give the show more of an intimate feel to the video. There was a spotlight set up about five feet off the ground and approx. 2 feet to the left of the singer and slightly in front of the singer. This is the light source that is giving me problems with overexposure from time to time when she leans or steps forward.
I have supplied links to a couple of the videos as i have them posted on youtube but i want better quality video for the DVD i am making for the musician.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4gjLR-z4dU&feature=related
This next link gives a visual as to were the spotlight is set up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY8ySli2eNo
Another another note, i would like to know how to get rid of the red dot in the video. I am not sure of the source, i thought it might be a broken pixel within the camcorder but that red dot doesn't show up in any of my other videos i've shot.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thank You.
I will give that plugin a try.
I won't be able to do a reshoot as i was filming a concert (with permission) so i only had one shot to get good video.
I've only been filming and editing music shows for three months now so i am still fairly new in the experience department and have some questions for curiosity sake and for future reference.
What do you mean by decode on a reshoot?
What is a field monitor and how do you check that its properly calibrated.
I have a Canon DC 330 SD Camcorder so it doesn't have an external iris adjustment, i do believe it has an internal iris adjustment. According to the user manual there is a built in manual exposure adjustment. Is the manual exposure adjustment the same thing as the iris?

Keyframing video effects??? Please help

hello, I am trying to keyframe a video effect, "line art" in particular off...eg have line art keyframe to the original clip. Within the filters tab of the viewer I only have options to keyframe specific parameters of this effect however there are no combinations of these parameters that will allow me to keyframe back to the origianal video.
The only way that i can do something similar is to stack the same clip on 2 tracks and keyframe opacity.
Is there an easier way??
Thanks for your help

I'm not having trouble with dissolve keyframing. Im using 9 individual frames to make a grid with transitions throghout. < </div>
That's a completely different situation than the one you posted originally.
Nest the nine frames. Apply individual keyframes as you call them for other effects to the separate layers in the upstream sequence. Apply your dissolve or keyframe off as you say to the nested sequence in the downstream version.

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
