Help again! :( 3D effect...

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that replied to my previous question, it's helping me a lot, but now I have another question... and another huge thank you in advance for all of your help.
How would I go about making a 3D effect of a person's hand reaching out of the computer screen? If possible, a step by step guide on how to set this up during the production and post production stages with Final Cut Pro?
I've tried finding the answers online, but can't seem to locate instructions or guidance. Would appreciate it!

thank you for your reply.
i don't completely understand your reply 100%..
the text is not in the cnentre, it is to the left of screen and comes down from the top, to the middle of the screen (almost) and then moves right to end up in the centre of the screen (horizontally). could you just explain the anchor point a little? is that the centre point in the 3D panel, or in the motion tab in viewer? if i change it to centre then it will just affect the position of the text, to be in the wrong spot.
thanking you kindly.

News "FLASH"... Nancy O (the legend) ... i need help again

I am trying to put a banner on my website for my exam.... It will have to have an image with logos flashing across and stopping for a few seconds before carrying on.and out the other side. I have looked up everywhere to see how this is done but with no joy. There is lots of info out there but it is not working for me. In Flash i have no problem creating a banner image with various logos moving from one side to the other or even changing the image from one shape to another or bouncing it up and down the stage from one side to the other. I can even stagger the timelines for the logos to make them enter one after the other. The one thing i can not get to grips with is making the images stop or pause after they have entered from one side before exiting the other side. I have followed step by step many youtube tutorials but the authors are wizzing through them too fast and despite folling every step second by second, i am missing a vital step somewhere. Would someone please let me know step by step (and please assume i am an idiot when doing this) the sequence i must follow from the very begining to the last step when i publish.

Noooooooo........ When i saw your email notification i had high hopes of getting the answer i have been trying to work out for two days....but no problem ..your still a legend ha ha ... you got me out of a big hole in this project the last time... but thanks for taking the time to reply, i will try the other forum.

You'll get better answers in the Flash Forums for whichever Action Script ver you're using.
Sorry. I don't do much Flashy stuff anymore. As far as I'm concerned, when Apple iDevices quit supporting Flash, it became a dying web technology.

Help (again) with Average Script

Hi Everyone:
I have problems again with a script in calculation manager:
I need to calculate the average of a member in one account across the year. For example, for Jan the average of Count_1 is equal to the value of Count_2 in Jan; for Feb Count_1 is equal to the sum of values of Jan and Feb from Count_2 divided for 2; for Mar Count_1 is equal to the sum of values of Jan, Feb and Mar from Count_2 divided for 3 and so on.
I'm using the follow script:
*"Count_1"=@AVGRANGE(SKIPNONE,"Count_2",@CURRMBRRANGE("YearTotal",LEV,0, ,0));*
But this script is averaging bad, because what it does for January is to take the January value and divide by two, to sum the values in February January and February and divide by 3, to sum the values in March, January, February and March and divided by 4 and so on.
How i can solve this problem and make a script that works?
Thanks for your help again.

Please, someone can help me???

Does this happen to a wired computer or to a wireless computer? If it happens to a wireless computer ONLY but not to a wired computer, a firmware upgrade might not be necessary at all.
Make sure your wireless settings are personalized, try using channel 11 and when you go to advanced wireless settings, try setting the beacon interval to 50 instead of 100.
On how to do the things mentioned in the 2nd paragraph, open up IE and type on the address bar the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username leave it blank, password as a default is admin). Go the the Wireless tab.

Re: help again please

Check your braces for your 'if' statements. I don't think they are what you intended. You only update carmake if the car is a mercedes.
Please use more descriptive subject titles. "Help again please", "help appreciated", and "just cant work this out" could describe 99% of the threads on this forum. Maybe something like "Why is this an infinite loop?" would be useful.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestPlan
   public static void main(String args[])throws FileNotFoundException
      Scanner inFile = new Scanner(new FileReader("c:\\praccc.txt"));
      PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter("c:\\cars.out.txt");
      String carMake = inFile.next();
      outFile.println("Enter make [* ends]:> " + carMake);
      int age = inFile.nextInt();
      outFile.println("Enter age:> " + age);
      int daysHired = inFile.nextInt();
      outFile.println("Enter no. of days hired:> " + daysHired);
      int kmsTravelled = inFile.nextInt();
      outFile.println("Enter kms travelled:> " + kmsTravelled);
      while(!carMake.equals("*"))
            carMake = inFile.next();
            outFile.println("Enter make [* ends]:> " + carMake);
            age = inFile.nextInt();
            outFile.println("Enter age:> " + age);
            daysHired = inFile.nextInt();
            outFile.println("Enter no. of days hired:> " + daysHired);
            kmsTravelled = inFile.nextInt();
            outFile.println("Enter kms travelled:> " + kmsTravelled);
            inFile.close();
            outFile.close();
}ok sorry im not very experienced with java as you can tell but if this question doesnt solve my prob I think I will give up. The code above which i have broke up still gives me NoSuchElementException. The file praccc.txt simply contains....
mercedes 10 100 100
mercedes 20 200 200
mercedes 30 100 200
mercedes 30 200 100
mercedes 20 130 200

Need help knowing which effect this is.

Hey guys I need some help with an effect in a video I saw and I was thinking maybe someone here would know which effect this is.
So it's the effect that occurs after 10 sec.
Thank you in advance

What effect after 10 seconds? There's a scale/jitter effect then an over exposure effect with fades to black and there's a blue light streak? You mentioned brush strokes so I think it's the light streak.
For that you can use Beam, or small solids stacked on top of each other with various blurs and blend modes set to Add or Screen and a lens flair, or a half dozen different particle effects, or . . .
Catch a still frame and show us what you're trying to achieve and we can help more.

How to add an effect again (or effects with similar outcome) or "merge effects"?

Hi,
May I bother you with a question?
Can I add the same effect twice? OR can I "merge layers", similar to PS, then add a new batch of effects?
I have experienced the same problem a couple of times, here is an example:
1. I stabilize my clip (by motion tracking including rotation. dozens of keyframes are added to the transformation->rotation of the layer)
2. The result is crooked and I want to rotate it.
3. The only (very bad) options I see: edit each keyframe, by adding my -5°; or rendering it and editing it again
I had the same problem with plug-ins that have effect e.g. on transformation. Once I use it, the former settings are overwritten.
I guess there is a simple answer I should be able to find in the FAQ's or tutorials, but after 2 hours I'm either blind or a fool. Could you please help me?

I'm relatively new to AE but have PS experience. Win7, CS5, 1080p, 8GB, i5,

I found another great way to make it work (even though I'll just use it, when the null-object ect. won't work):
It's called "precomposed layers" and works really well, especially because it allows you to edit compositions that have "time distortion" and "time stretching" enabled. once you have a layer that has some time-relevant effects and want to add another effect (e.g. tracking, or twixtor...), select the layer (or several), use "Ctrl + shift + C" and select the second option. the layer is then replaced by a new untouched layer of the clip. that clip links to the edited original clip (which kind of hides under it).
In PS speech: you merge the layers, but have access to the unmerged layers
I needed it to use tracking on time stretched clips and also in combination with twixtor

After Effects has a Wiggle property that can do that:

I need help again!

HI
This is driving me crazy, I discussed this before and I did manage to get it to work once.
But I don't know how and I can't repeat it.
I need to scale the video clip from one key frame to the next, but every time I change the size at either key frame it changes for the whole clip.
In video 1 I want it to stay at 100% until the first key frame, and then change to 110% gradually until key frame 2 and stay there until the end.
I swore that I was going to figure it out on my own and not bother you guys, but after spending an hour messing with it and searching all the help files I could find I still didn't find anything that describes the process.
What I've done is set both key frames to Bezier then I set the marker on frame 1, but then what?
There doesn't seem to be any activate button, other then the Toggle Animation button, but that doesn't seem to do anything. It just says that it will remove any previous key frames but I don't see anything happen when I click it.
So I move to key frame 2 and I change the scaling on the clip to 110% I click the Animation button since there isn't' anything else to click (I've tried not clicking anything too) and the whole clip changes to 110%.
What is the step by step process to change the size between the key frames .
I just don't know what I'm missing.

Never mind, I finally found the little arrow that changes it from Opacity to Motion!!!
I should have noticed that it said Opacity in the bar, but my eyes aren't that great anymore and it's pretty small.
I go to have eye surgery in a couple of weeks.
Hopefully it will be better after that, but I have my fingers crossed.
My old partner in the graphic design business has vision so bad he can't drive any more.

Hi
I'm using PE 12, in Windows 8 64 bit.
I'm trying to not over stress it and it's working better but still a little laggy.
My icons for Effects, transitions, etc. have vanished again, after working for a couple of days.
They actually come and go, I have had them show up and then disappear again.
That's one issue I'd really like to get fixed, but I don't have a clue why it would do that.
I think I've got the motion thing down now, I used in in this video to make the background zoom in when the camera moves in on Lucy.
http://vimeo.com/78481370
It adds another capability, I can see different layers moving at different speeds to give the illusion of depth.
Bye for now.

Help! Applying Effects to Titles

Urgent - Need help with Lighting Effects Filter

Hi,
I need urgent help on something regarding the Lighting Effects filter in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I need lighting effect urgently to complete a project.
I am using Photoshop CS5 on a Windows Vista computer in 64-bit mode.
On the net it is given that you can run photoshop CS5 in 32-bit mode to use the lighting effects filter - both on Mac and PC.
My Problem:
While on the net it is given how to change from 64-bit to 32-bit and vice-versa, I have my Photoshop CS5 installed on 'E - Drive' and not on 'C - Drive' due to lack of space. I have followed all the instructions on how to open it in 32-bit mode on the net, but I still cannot use the lighting effects plugin.
What I need is if someone could give simple and clear instructions on how to open Photoshop CS5 32-bit version instead of opening the default 64-bit version on Windows Vista - that would be great.
Looking forward to answers.
Thanks.

That advice about running the 32 bit version of cs5 for the Render> Lighting Effects filter
only pertains to the mac version of photoshop cs5.
The lighting effects filter does work in the 64 bit version of photoshop cs5 on windows, your
document just has to be 8 bits/channel and in the RGB Color mode (Image>Mode) same
for using the lighting effects filter in the 32 bit version of cs5.
Added: In general it's frowned upon installing photoshop on drives other than C drive.

PSE 9 Help! My effects palette is blank! Also help installing actions..

Maybe these two problems are related?
I am new to PSE 9 but I was using 8 until now. I have great Actions that worked beautifully in PSE 8. I am trying to install them the same way for PSE 9 but I seem to be missing a whole folder.
The path I take is:
Library>Application Support>Adobe>PSE>9.0>Locale>
Then All there is is a "Photo Creations Thumbnails" folder which is empty.
Do I need to reinstall PSE?
Also, My effects palette is totally blank! Nothing there to click on!
Please help!!!
Thanks!

Thank you so much for all your help
I ended up Uninstalling and Re-installing. The effects palette is working fine now-but I am still unable to install my actions for some reason.
I went the same route and found the Photo Creations folder, copy pasted my actions.. When I opened PS, they were not there.
I went back and looking in the Photo Creations folder and the actions were not there. I RE-copied them in the folder and it said they were already there?
Weird.
I clicked to replace the old ones, and I still do not actually see them in the folder.
What the heck?

Need help with gunshot effect in FCP

New to FCP and am trying to add a gunshot effect to a short film. Doesn't have to look top notch...just looking for something simple.
I added a muzzle blast for the shooter from detonationfilms.com, which worked great. When i overlayed the muzzle blast, the background was black. I was able to fix this by using Modify>Composite>Screen.
Now I'm trying to add the bullet hitting the victim, but all the shots from detonationfilms.com have white backgrounds. For some reason, when I go to Modify>Composite>Screen it doesn't work for white. What I'm I missing? Are there any other websites that have bullet hits with a black background? As I said, I'm not too picky.
Lastly, I have about a 40 frame shot of the victim collapsing to the ground after being shot. He's wearing a white T-Shirt, which I'd like to stain with blood. Can someone tell me what program would work best for this? I basically think I need to go frame by frame and "paint" the blood on him, but not sure what program is best for this (and simple).
Thanks! Much appreciated.

welcome to the family. We're not really here to help you with practical effects and filmmaking tips, we're here to help you with the software. But we'll see who shows up.
For some reason, when I go to Modify>Composite>Screen it doesn't work for white. What I'm I missing? < </div>
Screen drops out black pixels. It's not really the best way to get luma key effects but it's quick and easy for high contrast effects footage that is delivered on superblack. Try a luma keyer to key out the white.

Should have been done as a practical effect while shooting. A simple squib and blood packet would have been FAR easier to deal with than rotoscoping and hand painting. You need After Effects or, if you have Motion, crack the manual and get set for some long sessions. There is nothing simple about handpainting on a moving object.

Need help with after effects render engine setup

I use AE CS6 on a mac computer running Mountain Lion. I also own a PC running Windows 7, and I am wanting to use it to assist with network rendering. How do I install the after effects render engine on a PC, when all that I own is the Mac version of the software?
Any help would be appreciated

Did you purchase a perpetual license for the software, or do you have a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
If the former, you need to purchase an additional license to get the Windows version. If the latter, you can just download the Windows version as part of your subscription.

Help again! :( 3D effect...
