Help with an effect?? Patrick, maybe?

Alright... I'm not very experienced in motion. At all, really, but I do use AE here and there. I'm going after a background effect, and I'm having a little trouble getting it exactly right in AE. I was just searching through the forums, and came across Patrick Sheffield's "fun with" threads, and saw something that looked similar to what I'm after.
I've got green screen footage of a band that I shot, and I want to create a background for the performance peice of the music video.
I'm going to take one high rexz photo of a room (a cathedral to be exact), and what I'd like to do is break it up into about 15-25 rows and columns (squares).
Then I want to add a little motion to the squares so it give's a semi-realistic, semi-dreamy feel to the entire backdrop.
Think a bunch of squares, almost lining up, and "floating" around causing almost a stop motion looking effect.
If you've seen the show "Cash Cab" on the Discovery channel, they have an intro that's SORT of what I'm after. Not exactly, though.
Any suggestions on what would be the easiest way to go about this? The tutorial from Patrick is located here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1168485&#1168485
and I was just thinking that I could do my own twist on that, and hopefully come out with what I'm after?
Also, in the long run, it's going to be linked and tracked to the greenscreen footage, as my camera was in motion most of the time during the shoot. Just keep that in mind.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated, and if you don't understand exactly what I'm talking about, ask, and I'll try to explain it better.
thanks

OK... got a little ahead of myself, sorry.
I've come to the conslusion that I absolutely HATE being a newb. It's just frustrating, seeing how I make a living working in FCP, and yet I have no skills when it come's to stuff like this.
Here's what I've done:
I opened the "shatterA" project and linked it to a picture. Exported it to a QT movie with an alpha channel (lossless...), and turned off the pre-multiply flag.
I've now got the clip with the small peice of my picture zipping across the screen.
Now's where I'm running into problems. I open up the "Shatter" project and link my picture to it. I see that there is a lot going on in the timeline as far as replicator, shatter 02a, random motion... but all I have is my main picture in it's entirety. I'm assuming it's supposed to be like this at this point, but when I play it through, the picture slowly pulls towards the bottom of the screen and ends about an inch lower than where it started. Is it supposed to do this?
Anyway, I then bring in my small clip that I made and set it in the center of my window. I see one small peice in the upper right corner, click on it, click replicate. Now I'm unable to click on the "replicator" tab in the "Inspector"? It's not locked, cause I can lock it and unlock it, but when I click on it, it just goes a darker grey and won't show any info. ?
Then I'm thinking maybe I'm supposed to be doing this in the small "dashboard" window. I click that and set it from "rectangles" to "line", and I now have a line of the small image in the upper left corner. Well, your instructions then say to "set the origin and end points to 0,0", and the number of points to the number of frames from the step above. Huh? I don't know where the origin and end points are? I see "origin" in the dashboard, and can click the tab to set either "start point, center point, or end point", but they are directly connected to the number of "points" just above the origin section, and they all set to whatever the "points" are set.
I may be way off and making a fool out of myself, but at this point, I don't care. I'm come up with something in After Effects that I could use, but I'd rather try and figure this out. What am I doing wrong here? Am I even supposed to be bringing in the shatterA clip into the Shatter project, or should I be starting a new project from the shatterA clip? Why can't I click on the Replicator tab in the Inspector?

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.

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.

Help with Special Effect

I am building the opening page for a website in Flash, I'm
not the most experienced with Flash, but I'm getting a lot better
and I know many of the functions. However I'm having a problem with
an effect. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out, but here it is.
I have a US Flag that is square it was built in Flash using
about 10 - 12 layers with some motion. I haven't flattened the
layers ( I don't know how too, or even know if I'm supposed to do
that at all).
I am trying to take the last of the constructed square flag
and transform the Square into a Circle encompassing all of the
elements within the square in a nice smooth motion.
What is the best way for me to go about this?
Thank You

First off...no need to flatten layers. In fact, there's no
such thing in Flash (unlike Photoshop or Fireworks). You can only
delete layers (not to be confused with Layer Folders whichcan be
collapsed on the timeline, but not flattened). Most animations need
their own layer anyway and the number of layers won't in and of
themselves effect the size of the resultant SWF (the contents of
those layers will, but adding more layers won't make too much
difference).
Secondly, for the animation effect, you probably want to swap
out your finished square flag (multiple layers) for a single
graphic (new layer). Then, depending on the exact effect you want,
you could use a circular mask on the square or perhaps shape tween
the square to a circle.
Hope that helps!

Help with After Effects

I just upgraded to PP CS4 to CS5 Premium with After Effects and Photoshop. I'm trying hard to figure things out but I'm unfamiliar with these programs and have no idea where to begin to learn. I've tried watching various tutorials, but they skip over basics, and unfortunately, that's what I need. I
Can anyone recommend a really good book or video or something to get me started? I know there's so much to learn and I'm so eager to learn it all. However, I don't even know how to get the footage from CS5 to After Effects.
One more question - I'm working on a video right now in CS5. The girl in the video has rosacea and I want to take the red out of her face. Is this possible in After Effects? If so, can someone please tell me how to go about doing it - or suggest a tutorial that deals with such an issue?
Thank you so much,
Jules

> Do you have any idea which tool in after effects I would use, and how,
to remove color from an area on a video and blend it with the
surrounding area. Or if anyone knows of a tutorial explaining that
process I would so appreciate it.
You should ask your After Effects questions on the After Effects forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/aftereffects_general_discussion
Here are two video tutorials that show different ways to selectively apply an effect to a specific area:
https://www.video2brain.com/en/videos-1501.htm
http://www.peachpit.com/podcasts/episode.aspx?e=8822f9a1-93c5-4a00-8697-a54b653c7aaf
But you should really begin at the beginning and learnt he basics of After Effects first.

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.

Need Help With After Effects. Please read.

Need Help with an effect

Does anyone know how to take an image of grass and make it
look like it's blowing in the wind? I've seen images bent in
directions before, just don't know how.
Please help.
Thanks.

If your grass is a bitmap - then my FLA won't help you
anyway. You can't manipulate bitmaps like
that in flash - your only options are to re draw it in flash
with vectors or use Anime Studio's
Bones and Warp Image features (awesome!!!) - check it out at
www.e-frontier.com. Then import it into
flash as an image sequence.

Help with imagemap effect in java not applet

Hi,
I would like my java application to show a frame with an image, that is clickable depending on pic's xy coordinates (the xy coordinates of clickable area are saved in xml file)
It can be done quite easily with image map in applet. But I want to do in actual java. I am stuck with 2 problems:
1. how to determine the x,y coordinates of mouse in just the pic not the whole desktop?
2. how to make imagemap effect in java like those in applet? Other than lots of mouse events... I am not writing in applet, it's an application!
I would be very appreciated if there's some article about it (other than applet examples) or even sample codes. Cheers!

Are you sure you're using the word "applet" correctly? Anything you could do in a java applet you should be able to do in a java application, with the exception of being run within a browser. Maybe you're referring to HTML imagemaps?
Anyway...you add a mouse listener to your frame, and when you get a mouse click, get the (x,y) position of the mouse, then subtract the (x, y) position of the image. Voila...you now have the (x,y) position of the mouse click within the image.

Please help with these effects!!!!!!!!!!!(Bad Language inside!!!!!!!)

I am trying to figure out how the editor accomplished having that border on the outside with the different colors flashing on the inside.
Is it a certain way to layer the vignettes and colors. Also it doesnt seem like he's using a vignette. Like its sometype of border i don't know about maybe?
Any other info about any effects used in this video would be greatly appreciated. I know he's using strobe light but that's about all i know. I really appreciate the
time to read my questions and any answers would be great. Thanks in advance. Once again BAD LANGUAGE IN THE LINK! LISTEN ON MUTE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjtyEK-evtE

It's just a load of stacked layers - probably 30 or so off-the-shelf still frames of distressed film, grunge textures, etc. playing as loops, with rapidly-changing opacity and blend modes. If you watch carefully you see the same patterns of scratches coming round again and again. There's no inbuilt system in Premiere or After Effects to do it; people will either use a third-party plugin to render the distressed effect or buy a bunch of stock textures and make their own loops.

Help with After Effects CS6 error please?

I'm working on a kinetic typography project in CS6 as my final assignment for my Motion Graphics class. It's nothing too complex, just some text to some song lyrics and I decided I wanted to do some camera movements around the text but when I checked the 3D box next to the layers, I get an error message,
88:3, "error: TDL:outline contains triangles that are too small to be rendered. Check for very thin triangles in original artwork."
I literally only have one background picture and then quite a few text layers but that's it.
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

I'm still kind of new to After Effects and working with vector so I apologize if I'm not too savvy with all of this. Here's a screenshot of my composition if that's of any help.
*Edit: Oh and my text doesn't need any extrusions, the only 3D transformations I've made to the text layers is "pulling" their positions a little closer on the Z axis.

Help with after effects Please

Im trying to leran how to make 3d photos in after effects .
Unfortunatley i cant find any instructions that help me with my problems when i import my layered photoshop document and double click the composition layer i just get a huge black box in the middile of the screen.
i can view the layers individually but not as a whole to play with. is there a 2d to 3d book for dummies? ha ha
can any one help????

If your imported file is not working the color space is probably not RGB. AE only works properly with RGB files.
I think you are looking for 'the kid stays in the picture' / or more accurately, camera mapping or camera projection techniques. This is where you separate the foreground background and middle ground elements of a photograph into separate layers, bring them into a 3D app like AE's 3D space, distribute them in 3D space, and then animate a camera move on the layers.
There's a plug-in from Video Copilot that kind of automates this process and that works very well for certain photographs. Photoshop's vanishing point tool can also be used, or you may do all of the work of separating layers by hand (my preferred method 95% of the time) and bring the PSD into AE as a comp, convert the layers to 3D, distribute them on the Z axis, add a camera and animate the camera.

Help with some effects and transitions?

Hello, i'm trying to do add some transitions to my video. I want to do a intro like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBPV0f6c56s
I have already written the swords, the texts and the central anime minecraft guy with Anime Studio, but i need to do this 3 things:
1. Am expanding cirle opening
2. A light/flash as transition between the first animation and the next logo
(I have another question, but more difficult: I want to do a sun rays effect from an angle)
All of these effects-transitions are in the youtube video that i linked.
Can someone help me with one of these questions?
I have Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Thank you for the attention.

1. Dont know excactly what you want.
2. Filmflash transition is not default in Premiere. BCC has it for AE.
If you do not have bcc then look here.

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.

Need help with Lighting Effects; CS3

So, let's say that you were trying to work out some customization using the Lighting effects under: Filter > Render > Lighting Effects.
I understand that there is a very specific file that has the Styles.
Any chance I can fix this problem?

If you mean that they're grayed out then that's because you're not in RGB color mode with 8bits/channel. If you mean that the filters simply don't show up in the Filters menu then they're probably hidden in which case go to Edit->Menus and make sure that the Set dropdown is set to Photoshop Defaults (switching to the Basic workspace changes the menus to the Basic set that hides a lot of menu items)
