How did I make this ripple effect before?
I've been working on a logo that needs an effect that I've done a few years ago for another logo. It is the ripple effect of the mirrored image of the tree. I've been searching Illustrator, the web and my work files, but I'd expanded all my artwork, so I couldn't see how I did it before. I remember that I used the green tree as a base and just used a filter, but which one and how? Can anyone help me?
Cheers,
Tim
Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried that as well but that doesn't come close to my original design. Here are two other designs I did similarly.
Cheers,
Tim

How did they make this video (link is here)
Hi.
I spotted this video about a property for sale and I wonder how they got the movie to be so large (it fills the screen). It doesn't seem to be a QT or WM file.
Can anyone shed any light on how to do this, as I'd like to show wedding video demos in this way.

Thanks in advance.
I know it's off topic - but I bet many people would like to know how to do this. Sorry for any offence.Search for AS3 tutorials on google and gothru the tutorials about to loading external swf, images, audio and video. I recommended one of the good website to know the things from:

For every tutorials explanation on the syntax is very clear. goahead! Success behind you! -

How can I make this scene in After Effects?
The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug. Gandalf vs The Necromancer (Sauron) - YouTube
I am making this scene in stop motion lego. How can I make this scene, the shield vs smoke and the flaming figure, including the shots that zoom into Sauron's mouth. How do I do these shots? I am new to after effects. I have done basic smoke before, but nothing like this. I've done snow and green screen and fire, but I'd just like some help. Thank you I have CS6There is no plug-in or button, only careful planning based on knowledge of the process of combining layers of images into a final image. Every element in a composite is a separate layer. If you are new you need to do some basic research. There are lots of books out there that will show you the theory. Start on AMAZON or your public library. http://www.amazon.com/Effects-Visual-Compositing-Studio-Techniques/dp/0321934695/ref=sr_1_ 2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421914012&sr=8-… may be a good place to start. Once you get some knowledge you can start breaking down a shot like this:
Layers that I see in this shot in order.
Vignette to darken the corners of the shot
Foreground smoke
Lighting effects on smoke
Foreground branches
Middle ground actor as a track matte or mask source for
Middle ground smoke
Middle ground lighting effects in the smoke
Actor on rock
Rock to act as a mask for background lighting effects and smoke
Rock
Background smoke and lighting effects
Background
If your original footage contained the background, the rock, the actor, and the branches then your first task would be to separate each of those to a separate layer. Then you would create or shoot the smoke and lighting effects and start building the layers. You then would modify the masks and effects on each layer to create the light wrap and look of the atmosphere using blend modes. Then you would add color grading effects or overlays to simulate the lighting in the shot. If you were really doing a shot like this you would probably add some lighting cues on the set to help sell the idea that a bunch of energy was lighting up the actors face. Like Mulenium said, there may have easily been fifty folks working on this shot for several days. It's completely unreasonable to expect that you can just add a plug-in and adjust some sliders to create the effect. Every composite requires you to separate elements into layers and then sandwich the elements you need to create and sell the effect you want to sell. -
When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?
So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

How can I make this effect to introduce somebody in my video?
Hi,
I like to know how I can make this effect to introduce somebody: www.hofleverancier.be
You can see the effect on the 7nd second.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks!
Glenn.There are many ways.
One of them would be:
export the specific point were it starts to Quicktime Conversion > Still Image >OPPTIONS: Photoshop.
Open this still in Photoshop. Cutout the man by using the magic lasso tool.
So then 2 layers. Background and Foregrond (The man).
Import this 2 layered PSD in FCP. Cut it right after the point you exported. On V1 the Background, On V2 the Man. Bring the background to Black and white. Set Keyframes for the SCALE on V2, in order to 'zoom in' on the person a little bit.
And ad a title effect.
Well, this is the short version. Try to play with it yourself. You can also do all the compositing in Motion, or After Effects.

How did they get this effect of the dots on her face....?
Thanks in advance...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkVy2FeqIyc&feature=relatedCool video. I'd say that everything is done in After Effects, including the 'dots' on her face.
It's a simple effect filter you can apply. -
I have been trying to make this ripple, I made a circle and I cut away the part I don't want, then I am trying to make a brush that will do what this image does, but I have no luck. I want my back edges to be tapered off like this image.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
KarleenYou are welcome, Karleen.
I was editing my message, but then you answered it. Here is one simple way of doing it:
1) Create a long blue fill/no stroke ellipse, copy it, and move the copy down so the overlap corresponds to the intended width of the ripple;
2) Pathfinder>Divide, Ungroup, and remove upper and lower parts;
3) Drag and drop the final shape upon the New Brush button in the Brushes palette;
4) Select the ripple(s) and click the new brush. -
Just restored my iPhone 5 from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop? We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings. I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.
Hi Big Slick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Cheers,

I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?
In System Preferences > Mission Control, uncheck mark Displays have seperate windows. This should bring you back to the secondary display you had before the upgrade. You may have to open Mail, the first time and place it on your secondary display. You also won't have the advantages of the dock and menus on the secondary display.
I keep my own secondary display with these settings because I need the ability to expand a window across both displays. -
Has anyone seen this photo effect before and if so do you know the process involved?
I have seen this photo effect before and was wondering if anyone on the forum has any knowledge of how it produced in Photoshop. I am sure Poster Edges has something to do with it but I can not seem to replicate the effect.
Thanks I will check.... only reference I have found is under LED Effect but no Tuts, Thanks again I will let you know if I find anything. Really a cool visual effect.

Since I have downloaded the iOS7 software my photos no ,longer automatically sync and upload to my lap top. How can I make this happen again?
Hi missvashenca,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your photos are not appearing on your computer from your iOS device anymore through Photo Stream, I'd first verify that the Photo Stream service is still enabled on your iOS device:
iCloud: Set up Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2605
If it is, you may also want to try switching it off and back on again.
Likewise, I would also try this with your computer's Photo Stream settings.
As always, I recommend backing up your photos before performing troubleshooting:

Every time I click on a web page an advertisement or MAC Keeper page opens up. I have pop-up blocker on. How do I make this stop?
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Hi There is a ghost search bar on my iMac that flashes continually, even during start up and shut down. How can i make this go away? Please help. x
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Somehow the country associated with my account was changed to China. I did not make this change. My credit card information needs to be updated but the system will not let me update either my credit card information or the country back to the United States. My updated credit card information is not accepted because the country is China. It will not allow me to change the country until the credit card information is changed. Help!!!
This exact thing has happened to me. Did you get it resolved? If so, how??
