Help - Trying to replicate text effect

Can anybody help? I'm trying to re-create this text, complete with the burning away effect and the same text movements in LiveType - does anybody know if it can be done? I'm new to this app btw.
Here's a ********
<edited by host>

First of all, your link is a direct download. Please don't do that.
To your question, the effect is simply a mask which reveals the text on a layer below and has a burning edge added via a second layer. This would be easy to do in a Rotoscoping software package or a newer version of Photoshop (CS3 and higher can generate video files). It should also be possible with Motion.
Create the mask movement by progressively applying black to a white image.
Reimport a copy of the mask. Adding blur to the edge of the white part will give you a soft edge which can be color mapped -this uses the differing shades of gray and replaces them with the fire colors. Composite the burning edge clip over your text, using the mask in Travel Matte Luma mode.

Could you please help me recreate this text effect?

Hey guys,
thank you very much for clicking on my question
I need some help in figuring out how to do the text effect at the end of this short commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQrxfBOo_Mo
what i'm going for is for it to say:
WE (stationary) and then a bunch of lines here next to we scrolling really fast before stopping on
score the goals
so a we on the left, with scrolling one-liners like "we score goals" "we make the tackles" etc scrolling on the right next to the "We"
any ideas?

Very simple stuff. You just can't do it with one layer.
Set up you text with each statement on a separate layer, then simply animate the position of the text. You can set up that animation with the transformation properties or with text animators. There's information on both methods in the help files.
Let me know if you need more help...

Need help trying to replicate this image

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post, but i'm wondering if I could get suggestions on how to best re-create this image, but in a seamless manner (I had to erase a lot out since it had set pieces in front of it). I need to replicate this in a 6660X1080 banner.

Thanks for any help you can be! I've seen instructions on how to make lightning and it seems pretty straight forward, but this looks a little tougher than that, no?

Download the demo of After Effects plus possibly the demos of some plug-ins (Sapphire, Delirium)... Tons of Lightning effects and even though it's meant for animation, nothing stops you from just rendering out a still frame for your banner. Other than that I don't see much in your sample and it could be reasonably well created even using basic Photoshop or Illustrator techniques... Really not sure what you are asking here. Sounds more like you are generalyl rather inexperienced in PS...

Need help with a typewriter text effect

Hi, could you guys look over my script and see what's up? I'd like the words in the string to type out in the alotted time, but for some reason my function apends the first and last letter of anything in the string, so "Hello?" becomes "ello." This is not affected if I pad the text in the string with spaces, i.e. " Hello? " Nor does this work if I start count i at -1, not 0. Please help.
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var str:String = "Hello?";
var i:int = -1;
var delay:int = 720%str.length;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(delay);
timer.start();
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,gotime);
function gotime(e:TimerEvent)
textbox_txt.appendText(str.charAt(i));
i++;
if (i>=str.length)
timer.stop();

AHA! If forgot to go into the properties of my textfield and tell the ebedded font to have a character range of "All."
Thanks for getting my brain going Ned!

Help recreating this text effect

Hello,
Can someone help me recreate this text effect?
http://tinyurl.com/3a6ogl8
Here's my version:
http://tinyurl.com/3ahmj98
http://tinyurl.com/2v9k58d
The trained eye can probably see that the original version looks much better. Why is that? Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong, or could this text have been made using a different technique?
(whether I use Flash or Photoshop shouldn't matter as their text effects are pretty much identical)
Many thanks!

nevermind y'all i figured it out!!

Text Effects in Bridge wont attach to text layers in AE *Please help

** Please Help **
short version
I have read the AE help and it says to just double click the preset I want and it will attach to the text in AE, but it doesnt work. What do I do?
Long version
Ok, I am trying to use the built in animations that are located in the text folder inside bridge. While in AE I make a new text layer and type in the text, then I goto the EFFECTS & PRESETS fly out menu and Choose Browse presets, This will take you to the contents folder in Bridge, For instance I click on the 3d text folder to open it and view all of the preset text animations. If you click a sample Icon one time it will show you what to expect in Bridge, IF you double click it, it is supposed to attach that preset to your text layer and transfer that animation to the text layer in AE. Well I cant get it to work, It wont attach the preset to my text in the text layer of AE. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Please help me figure this out. I have search the AE help files as well as the bridge help, with no answers.

Jonas, thank you for a work around, using the bridge method would be nicer, but the apply animation preset works, I just have to open bridge so I can preview the text effect I want to apply. Main thing is I got it to work. Now to figure out why bridge and AE aren't talking.

Love Safari's new look, but on my 17-inch MacBook Pro the font on most pages is partly or all in an insipid light blue. I've tried changing all text to black on white to help my 83-year-old eyes, but no luck so far. Any tips?

This is my first time using this site, but it's helpful so far. Not sure if I need to retype the wording in the Discussion box above, but will do so just in case.

The simplest thing to try is a reset.
With Safari running, click on Safari in the menu bar and select Reset Safari ....
If that does not work, go to Safari / Preferences / Advanced.

If the PDF page content is an image (for text that'd by the image that any scanner provides) then it is an image that exports to Word.
Regardless, Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content, cannot create PDF and cannot manipulate PDF page content.
Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer only.
Perhaps you have a subscription to one of Adobe's online subscription services.

Need Help Making This Text Effect

Can someone please assist on how I can create this text effect with the thick line surrounding the text phrase at this link?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/lalogotheque/2801883641/in/set-72157608260902848/
I have the font already and I'm using Illustrator CS 1.0 for Mac OS X.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes I guess that is the way it is done:
 
 
<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=18MgENxFZNBGeizw4wAaWr5Jo6B5vS0" /></a>

<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1Np8mdgE1ZazEbQZjQnP6huKdaL7EJ_thumb.png" border="0" />
 
 That is you make three copies of the text but this time I composed the text as one unit using baseline shift and different type sizes and spacing.
 
 Once I had text they way I wanted it and the three copies I kept one as is, in this case the black version.
 
 I then gave a color to the bottom most and gave it a sufficient Offset path setting to look solid.
 
 So there is now black text and a solid colored background in and expanded shape of the text.
 
 I then outlined the text for the text that had been offset and then used the pathfinder to merge the different paths within that art. That would be the first icon on the top left of the pathfinder panel.
 
 I then gave the text in between and outline twice the weight I wanted the gap to be and no fill and flattened the transparency choosing to outline the strokes.
 
 Then I selected the outlined I just created and the background I created before leaving the
 the outline on top of the background and went back to the pathfinder and chose to minus the front. The second icon on the top left of the panel.
 
 And there you are.
 
 Now I can do a Video or perhaps someone like Mordy will stop by and clean up my explanation as I understand i am often not easy to follow as far as my writing is concerned.
 
 I hope this helps.

Whfree can i find my channels in elements 11..i am trying to create a text effect

I am trying to create a text effect that requires me to make all channel active. Normally in photoshop i can find the tab near my layers but they are not there.

There is no channels palette in Elements.
You can select channels in the levels command. There is generally a way to do what you want in Elements; can you give more details about what you want to achieve?

Muse: Issue: Text Effects options (Drop Shadow, etc) are always disabled.

Hello,
I am a new Muse user and I have been using the Learn Tutorials here on helpx.adobe.com to teach myself Muse.
I have a strange problem. When following through the "Apply Effects to Text" tutorial at: Adding effects to text | Adobe Muse CC tutorials, the options to add a drop shadow are not enabled. On advice from folks on Twitter, I tried the same using System Fonts, Web Fonts and Web Safe fonts. None of them seem to work.
I am attaching a video capture of the issue.
Please help :-(

That's worse. If I set Stroke to 1 (you can only do that on the Text Frame and not the text itself), then the Text Effects do get enabled. BUT, the effect is applied to the entire text frame instead of just the text. See this:
I want the drop shadow for the text not the frame (like how Photoshop does it).

Text Effect Does Not Appear

I have never encountered this problem before. I wanted to make my copyright watermark more striking, so I created a variation on the relatively well-known "glass" text effect, but the effect will not print, nor will it show up when the file is saved as anything other than a psd. I have tried to rasterize the text, rasterize the layer, and convert it into a smart object; I get nothing. I have exported it to Illustrator, and I get nothing. I have just opened the psd in other programs that read the psd format, and I get nothing: it always just turns out as flat, unaltered text. Even Photoshop won't print anything but the flat text. Save it as something like a jpg, and the result is an image with flat text. I don't have this happen when I do simpler effects: my current watermark is a bevel and emboss with contour and a drop shadow, and it looks perfect; but when I do the more complicated layering to make the glass effect, the result is as if I had done nothing but put text color on it. In fact, the only way I can even show the effect here is via a screen capture from Photoshop CS5, which looks like this:
It's not a very good rendering of what it looks like in Photoshop, but the screen capture is the only thing I've got.
The layer effects that were enabled for the image you see are inner shadow, outer glow, and bevel and emboss. Several other effects I had already turned off.
Is it the case that some text effects just won't show up? I can't imagine that's the case, since the sites where creating such effects are demonstrated certainly must be exporting the imagery to show it on their sites.
One last curiosity is that, once I've put in all the layers, I can turn them off one by one, and I get no effect, even when I've turned off effects to the point where I basically have my original watermark style, which looks just fine in print and jpg.
Does anyone have an explanation for why this is happening. Is it something I'm doing, or is it really that I can't print or present as jpg images some text effects?
On a techical note, I'm using Photoshop CS5 64-bit in Windows 7 on a very good computer, and my main monitor is not IPS, but it is VA, and is calibrated every two weeks.
Any help in solving my rather frustrating mystery would be most appreciated.

I shall herewith provide as much visual information as possible to help you see the work product and its components.
This is a screen capture of a photograph in which I used the glass effect:
Next is a capture to show the effect more clearly (a published print would have the opacity of the text layer reduced considerably since it looks rather strong at 100%):
Next is what happens to the effect when the psd file is converted to JPG. This is also what it looks like as a print straight-away from Photoshop, and it even looks like this in the Print Preview window of Photoshop:
And finally, below are screen captures of each effect applied to the text layer, followed at the end by the Character set-up:
I do apologize for the extensive graphics in this post, but I am hopeful that this evidence will be sufficient to provide the answer to my inquiry about why the glass text effect declines every effort to show outside of the Photoshop screen.

How do I create this text effect in motion?

Hi,
I am a bit of a motion newbie - and am stuck as to how to replicate this sratchy/jumpy/glow text effect found in the video preview here . . . .
http://www.worshiphousemedia.com/index.cfm?hndl=details&tab=MM&id=4609
(click the video in top left)
If anyone can offer some help it would be greatly appreciated.
Warmest Regards,
Adam

mark, patrick, pierre and Longstrider - thankyou - sucess!
Longstrider- special thanks for your fab run through I knew it couldn't be too tricky... hehe - it really isnt!
I have got it shaking and mimicked exactly as in the sample vid clip - now i just have to add the randomisation on opacity, and perhaps some graininess to the text (text edging&fill is a bit sharp and clean).
Once again - thankyou so much!
Warmest Regards,
Adam

JQuery Sliding Text effect in DW

Hi there,
I'm trying to create text that slides in across the page and stops in the middle. I read that jQuery is useful for this but am really not sure how to write the code. So far what i've written under the Spry Effects.js document of my file has not produced any effect when i view the page on Live View or in a browser. I'm using Dreamweaver cs4 so i know don't need to install a jquery plugin. This is what i've written for it so far:
Source code:
#slider {
color:#FFF
height:100px
width:200px
<div id="slider">Content for id slider Goes Here</div>
Spry Effects.js:
//JQuery
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 $(document).ready(function(){
 $("slider").hide();
 $("slider").slideIn('fast');
What do i need to change or add?? I truly appreciate any help...
rae

Thank you David for giving this brief tutorial about how to use jquery in DW as I could find very little in the DW help files or at the http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/default.asp page. That page tells us to link to the core library and about document ready but not that we should link to a jquery plugin link. Is there anything else we should know?
I also noticed in CS6 that when I click to insert jQuery nothing shows.
Why is that? Is it because I am not linked to the jQuery core library or plugins?
Since Spry is dead I would like to learn more about jQuery and have been reading up on it but so far not coming across using it in DW. Could you or someone else point me in the right direction.

Shape Layer to 3D Text Effect

Hey guys,
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way that I can create a shape layer to and give it the 3D text effect. To further explain, I created some text in Photoshop, but for it to be stylized, I did it with the pen tool so my words are shape layers instead of text layers. Im also using CS6 normal and not extended, so I don't have that 3D option at the top. If there is a method for this, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!
Examples of what I'm going for:
http://maxcdn.photoshoplady.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Clean-3D-Text-Effect-Creation-u sing-CS6-L.png
http://vanimg.s3.amazonaws.com/0613-text-15.jpg

I didn't look at your example until after I made the demo image, but you could work it to produce that effect.
What we used to make 3D text before we had Photoshop 3D tools, was Free Transform Step & Repeat. You'll find a bunch of tutorials if you look, but basically:
Make your front shape, make a copy and rasterize the copy. Hide the Shape because you don't need it any more.
Copy your rasterized shape layer.
Free Transform the copy, and use the size and movement values in the options bar. For my demo I moved it up a couple of pixels, and resized to 98% horizontally and vertically.
Hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) and keep hitting the t key until you have sufficient depth. You end up with a lot of layers. My size and movement was a bit course, which you can see from the jaggies on the bottom left of the '3' character.
Select all the 3D layers, and go Layers > Arrange > reverse (you just want to bring your initial layer to the top of the stack.
Select all the other 3D layers and merge them
Give the initial layer a different colour or tone.
You'll want to add some shading, so make a new layer above the merged layers, Ctrl click the merged layers to load the selection, and add a layer mask to the new layer (called shading in my image)
Unlink the layer mask. This is so we can blur our shading without bleeding past the text boundries.
I prefer to paint in the shading because you can blur and adjust opacity. Paint it in with a hard brush for accuracy, and use a LOT of blur (Gaussian 10)
You might need multiple layers and selections to control the different faces, but I just finished off with the Dodge tool.
Having the front face and body on different layers, means you can mess about with layer styles, or colorize with a hue/saturation layer.
A bit more dodge and burn with some careful masking and perhaps a curves layer set to luminosity... You have the building blocks and can keep adding to them.
