FCPX: How to Achieve Weird Effect

I found an effect in a video I would like to do but how would I do this?
You can see the outlining effect at 00:03 in this video.
http://youtu.be/Ay1Jvwwk4Qs

Oh - that's just the basic "Edges" effect in Motion. I set it up for you and you can download it here:
http://sight-creations.com/fxexchange/Edges.zip.
To install, unzip the download, move the Edges folder into /Users/YourUserName/Movies/Motion Templates/Effects/Basics/
You will want to color correct the clip and set the saturation to 0, otherwise you'll get color outlines in places. It will also work best if the subject has been green screened as in the video you referenced.
Have fun

How to achieve this Effect?

Hey everyone i was wondering if you guys had any idea how to achieve this effect in flash.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QftcJtvLr8g

While you could probably do this in Flash, it is much more simply done using AfterEffects. There's a splendid text tool that can be tortured into effects like this. Have a look at the podcasts from Creative Cow on AfterEffects for some interesting examples.

FCPX - How to get this effect

I am in total awe of the effect in this video. Can someone tell me how to achieve it in FCPX? A video is playing through the silouette of a man's body or so it seems.
http://youtu.be/KLVq0IAzh1A

I see Sting, a daylight shot of people walking around and a "nighttime" clip as an overall background (the two scenes: walking people and the darker background are the same "scene" (same angle) -- one populated by people (in "clean environment") and the other -- everything overgrown by vines -- Sting cuts a silhouette of the walking people over the scene overgrown by vines... and in the dark.
You can do a similar effect by using the same clip (duplicated) as the lighter and darker scenes and colorize (manipulate the exposure of) the "background" scene as something darker -- or simply different.
Anyway, there are 3 basic clips involved.
I'm going to modify my original suggestion somewhat (silhouette luma doesn't really work as well as I expected it to):
I duplicated the effect here (but not with the best material - the dark jacket doesn't really improve the effect):
This is the set up for the two clips that make the compound. The top clip is the green screen keyed and the blend mode set to Stencil Alpha (a change from my original post). It creates a mask for the background in the shape of the green screened person. The background/lower layer is the clip with the lighter/normal exposure (similar to the people walking around clip.)
In the storyline (moved back out of the compound) the compound video is synchronized over the same background clip IN the compound (in the Sting version - the background scene is overgrown with vines and there are no people, but it is the same camera POV as the walking people layer) [The red X indicates that the top layer is currently disabled -- I bring it back in below.]
In this image -- I have applied a deep darkening (global setting) in the selected (storyline) layer.
Finallly, the green screen clip is overlaid on top of everything, and the opacity is set to about 85% (in this example.)
HTH (and hope it's clear)

How to achieve this effect, please?

Hello
I have an image here:
http://stevehigham59.7host.com/orange.jpg
How would I achieve that effect, please - with the different shapes and colours against that blue background inside a blue frame? I'm just wondering where to begin.
Thanks for any advice.
Steve

Many thanks to you all for your replies.
I haven't got Illustrator, I'm afraid so Photoshop will have to suffice.
I've saved all replies and will try out your suggestions.
Thanks again.
Steve

Does any body no how to achieve this effect in ae or premiere pro cs5

looking to see if any1 can help me achieve this effect for my music videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIBEl35_wB0&feature=related is there a plug in like fcp or a easy way to achieve this appreciate any help thanks....

I'd use a loopOut expression on 3 keyframes for opacity. I'd also probably experiment with blending modes and throw in the exposure effect to get the flash at the end. A 32 bit comp will help you get a better blending mode with the footage. This will get you blink effect down, then simply cut to the revealed video. You'll end up with 3 layers in your composition. The bottom layer, the blinking layer, then then a duplicate of the blinking layer without effects.
The loop out expression is prewritten for you and requires no modification. You'll find it by clicking on the icon just to the right of the pickwhip expression and selecting Properties.
Your blink layer's opacity property should look like this:
The first and last keyframes are set to 100, the middle, as you can see is set to 10% but it's a matter of personal preference. This will give you 2 frames of full visibility and one at 10%. Changing the spacing of these 3 keyframes changes the look of the blink.

How to achieve Amazing Effects in iMovie

Hi everyone
I'm trying to achieve a cartoon style effect for a short comedy clip in iMovie and was wondering if anyone knew how to do this. I used the "Cartoon Style" visual but it doesn't seem to be that effective. I've left a link so you can review my progress and give any suggestions on how to improve this. Thanks!

How to achieve an effect...

I want to know how to go about making this effect:
I want to have a black screen with credits rolling, but in the upper right corner have a screen with footage playing.
I'm trying to make a bloopers screen while rolling credits.
Help?

aahhh, let's call it "Jackie Chan" credits..
what I would do, it needs QTpro...:
use iM to create the rolling titles on black; export/share as Quicktime/Full Quality...
use another iM project to create the bloopers, export/share as Quicktime/Full Quality...
export a single frame of black from iM...
now, open still.pic, credits.mov and bloopers.mov in QTpro
we use the still.pic just as background...
now, copy-all of blooper.mov, switch to still.pic, choose "add scaled"
click -J, select video-track2, choose size, make blooper.mov smaller, put in place....
same with credits.mov: copy, add scaled, resize...
export final credits as dv stream, import to your project....
if I have time today, I will add that with pictures and examples to my website HowDidYouDoTHAT.... I'll post here...

How to achieve an effect similar to this

I was wondering if an effect similar to the intro in this video can be done in Motion, and if anyone has any tips/tricks on how to go about doing it. Here's the video I'm referring to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4yFfCcg4Q8&feature=relmfu
I'm fairly new to motion, and everything I've tried in my attempts to recreate the water-ish effect flowing across the page has been pretty unsuccessful, so any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hi
yes you could do something like this in Motion. Have a look at the Particle Emitters, there are a large number of prebuilt ones in the Library. Then you can animate it across the screen with a soft edged mask to bring it on and off.

How to achieve this effect (similar to timeout)?

I want to achieve something like this:
if(some condition is met)
     //Do this
else {
      Start a timer
      //Start a thread
      If(timer expired) {
               //Clean up the thread that was started
               //Do something else
}I am not able to find how to implement the timer functionality. Can someone advice me on what to do? Or if my approach is incorrect, I would like to how something like this is done the right way...

You shouldn't go around killing threads. Threads should notice themselves when they are not needed and do a "return;" from run(). Other methods of killing threads are unsafe and can lead to corrupted data structures.
You have a loop of some kind in run()? Put a time check there.
if (System.currentTimeMillis() >= my_time_to_die) { cleanupWhatever(); return; }

Any ideas how to achieve this effect?

Hi there - I'm wanting to make some one layer stencils, and would love to replicate this effect, does anyone know a, if it has a name, and b how you'd go about creating it in photoshop (I'm fine to create the duotone high contrast image, just want the wavey line effect)Thanks for taking the time out peeps, fingers crossed D

Thanx for the response, I'll give both of those a try when Im back home laters, the 2nd idea sounds more likely to produce those sort of lines, its an effect I've seen quite often, so was surprised not to see more about it online (which is why I was asking if the technique had a name).
Its kind of a more messed up version of the lined (which sort of tapers off at each end) effect you get when zoomed in on some TV's (cept in this case is vertical rather than horizontal . . .

How to achieve this effect using Adobe Photoshop Touch?

Hi,
I'm new to photoshop of all kinds, as you'll soon learn, so I struggle to work out what effect(s), if any, certain images I find online have. At the moment I am trying to work out what effect(s) the images on the below links have, can anyone help? I assume they are the same effects on different images.

Are you asking about the gradient mask towards the bottom of the images?
You can try inserting a new layer then use More (looks like an ampersand or "&"; it's the 2nd icon from the upper right) > Gradient. Use a linear gradient. Tap and drag the gradient to where you want it. Tap and drag the end handles on the gradient to adjust where you want the gradient to begin and end.
Tap the palette icon to change colors, opacity and add/subtract stops.

Anyone know how to achieve this effect?

http://www.superfamous.com/empire/docs/cases/0060.html

The background for the first image could be done by simply messing around in the Filter Gallery, the round shadow could be just a slightly blurred circle with a reduced opacity. Shading in Photoshop is generaly done with either a 50% gray layer set to Overlay or Soft Light and then painting with a low opacity white/black brush or just using the Dodge/Burn tools

How to achieve resize image effect

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this effect with image resizing in RH, as the images do at the link below? I cannot find the method in the RH Help.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS1b49059a33f7772644666e3b1373013a398-8000.h tml

Hi there
Sorry, but RoboHelp does not offer a method to achieve this. Unfortunately that's a huge hint that Adobe isn't using RoboHelp to develop those pages.
If that's the effect you are after, you will need to roll your own with some JavaScript that does a hide and show on text and images.
One way you might achieve it with a single image would be to insert the image *TWICE* on the page. Then scale one pretty small. Take the full sized image and tuck it inside a Dynamic HTML drop-down. The net effect would be that the user would click to see the full sized image (revealing the DHTML drop-down) and the smaller version would be "pushed" farther down the page.
Cheers... Rick
