How did they pull off this animated image on Facebook?

Link here
Can someone tell me how they pulled this off? Even in the newsfeed, we see the animation. This is a first for me in many years of using Facebook.
It's not just renaming a .GIF to .JPG -- we've all tried that, it doesn't work.
But this guy managed to pull it off somehow.

Guess what?
Same trick, different day, different way.

How did they color grade this shot?

Hi all,
I'm working in CS5.5, and I'm hoping to get a color grade similar to the one at 0:55 in this video (well, actually the finished product at 1:18, but the example actually starts at 0:55):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHJJpBzqIic
Can anyone tell me what exactly is going on here? What tools are they using to achieve this shot?
Thanks,
Matt

It says right on the link that they used Magic Bullet Suite.
Did you need specific instructions on how to set up the negative high contrast layer and then use that as a track matte for color correcting just a portion of the shot? If you do not have Magic Bullet try adding the curves effect and then move the black point from the bottom left to the top left and the white from the top right to the bottom right. Now adjust the curve. Use this as a track matte for an adjustment layer.
Another option would be to use Colorama and apply the negative preset and adjust the position of the black and white pointers on the wheel.
Another option would be to use selective Color . . .
There are a million ways to do this. It's sometimes called the Pleasantville effect. Try Googling that.

How do i pull off this effect?

i was watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZeCtKvV9EM) and was wondering how i could get the quick camera movements shown at 0:32-0:35. any ideas?

As Myl says, it's simple. But anything in AE that is simple is complicated by the number of adjustments and tweaks and additional effects that can be piled up and adjusted independently or interactively. That video you are trying to copy has a new effect, or an effect variation, and a new piece of video on each of eight or twenty layers every second or two.
You may also notice that the lighting on the main character changes in each of the many different takes and angles from low key to high key, from heavy backlighting to flat overall. Each of those setups creates a different contrast ratio, that can be enhanced with effects, that allows blending effects and keying and mattes to work in different ways.
Be sure to shoot high quality video. You can always degrade good video but it's really really hard to make bad video look good.

How did they the build this?

Hello, I like to build / need a web application like this
page:

The user should be able to make a very basic layout design
with different type fonts and have a instant preview with in a
fixed area. The final design will be send to a shopping cart. I
program in ASP and a little in ASP.net
Can anyone point me in the right direction to look for a
sample code, a code that looks like it, dreamweaver plug,
application for sale or simple keywords for a google search.
Many thanks, a totally lost Chinese webdeveloper in the

When I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots. how do I turn off this view?

when I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots. how do I turn off this view? i've used photoshop for years and never encountered this. i looked at the histogram for some means of turning it off, but no luck. help

The issue I think is connected to the colour profile, and the 8,16, or 32 bit image mode option. In the past, my images have come from lightroom as 16 bit files and I've never had any issues. I guess I'm not very adept at the file handling aspect of this program. I shoot in RAW and like to play around with my photos, then print them. I was under the impression I should be using the srgb colour selection not RGB, but then I've read I should change it to RBG once I'm ready to save the file to print. I also changed my files over the 8 bit from 16 once I saved the after using photoshop.

Rounded corners in Ubuntu - how did they do this?

In the latest Ubuntu 6.10 there are all corners rounded.

How did they do this? Is this some kind of hack for GTK+?

doesnt need to be a change of GTK theme/engine.
metacity can grab colours from GTK. take a look at the edges of the menu bar and all that spacing, metacity is using a wide border to allow it to be rounded, and grabbing the GTK theme's colour to appear seamless.
Aha! Thanks James!

How did they acheive this?

Hi folks. I'm just designing for Flex, so I dont know any code or anything like that. I'm doing a Photoshop mockup of a Flex design. I'm new to Flex, so this might be a noob question.
In the flex style explorer I noticed some nice looking curved highlights at the top of the containers.
How did they do this?

Could I put an FXG inside an application controlbar as well?
Yes, if it's a Spark application. Components have skins. Spark component skins can contain fxg graphics. The programmer will have to create a new skin for the application component.
You should check out Flash Catalyst. It's a tool for creating Flex application designs without writing code.
You create the design and send the Catalyst project to the programmer
The programmer imports the poroject and writes the code

How did they get this effect of the dots on her face....?
Thanks in advance...

Cool 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.

New York Jets - How Did They Get That Name?

I remember the old New York Titans of the AFL, but then one day, they were called the Jets. How did they get that name (West Side Story?), and where did it come from?
Rod, are you home?
Hunt

hiya...hehe... was crying ...jets lost...boo hoo....
gotta admit ne pats defense and offense were just too good...couple turnovers and jets = dead ducks ( making that gargling sound in throat as they bit the dust ).
why jets name ??? dont know really...not definitetively...
My dad was into gymnastics pretty much entirely ( a little into figure skating ). not baseball or football. bowling a little as a " do it " sport, not a "watch it " sport. The only "watch it " sports us kids did ( only had 1 tv ) was gymnastics and skating olympic stuff mostly but some other competitions too.
Gymnastics is weird in a way...( as was my father ). It is extremely personal ( about beating your "self" ..doing better than you did " before" ).. very individualistic ...even though you are on a " team "... it's just points mostly for the team to win , accumulation of individual scores... father was very anti weight lifting, very opinionated about these things to his kids... so even when I got into wrestling, for example, or football ..in high school, he was very critical of any weight lifting that was part of the practice and training. He " coached " or " taught " gymnastics on Saturdays at my high school in a sorta unofficial (unpaid ) position...so me and my brother got sorta hooked into that more than doing football, wrestling etc. In fact, we started doing gymnastics when we were like 1 year old.. and it is so stated in some newspaper clipping by howard cosell (when he was a newspaper columnist before radio ) interviewing my father after a ny athletic club gymnastic competition ( trials for olympics sorta thing )... " Yes, Howard, I have 3 children, and they are already doing floor excercises and some tumbling... kirk, age 3, rodney age 2, and susan age 1 .... " that sorta thing. We were famous !
We could roll on the floor with pet dog real good !
This gives you general idea how I never got into "watching" football seriously, or baseball...I am basically ( like my brother ) a sport idiot re: following football and baseball like normal american kids. Of course I did follow favorite teams for a while in high school... ( oakland raiders were my favorite with a couple other teams kinda floating in and out of my interest ) but I have only been to 2 pro baseball game, never to any pro football game, and only 1 college football game ( army navy as guest of family who's son went to west point .. they got season tickets and tailgate spot etc ).
Baseball games were 1 polo grounds where the only thing I remember is having a hot dog and I dropped my plastic thing of mustard and for some stupid reason stomped on it... and it squirted mustard like it was shot from a canon onto this lady's leg ( stocking ).. and she yelled at me and I felt bad and said I was sorry and she tried to get it off but I think her leg was stained with mustard forever.
Other baseball game was yankee stadium box seat next to yankee dugout roof as guest of guy who's brother in law owns the boxes complete with free parking nearby and tickets to some yankee club after games. fancy seats ( 4 of them ). I put my beer on the roof of the yankee dugout, it was like right in front of me. I got a ball thrown to me by a yankee after pre-game practice ( as they came to dugout to start game ). Actually he faked me out at first...went to throw, I ( startled by his hand action ) put my hands up fast to catch.. but he didnt throw ( like faked me out )... but then as he disappeared under dugout roof his hand came up and flipped the ball right to me ( which of course I caught since I am so quick with my reactions due to rolling with dog when 2 years old ).
So thats my only baseball story of any interest. It was the game " after" the boston yankee game with the pine tar incident in boston with billy martin.. so this was the next day IIRC in ny with boston again... yankees won. and didnt have to do tricky stuff to win ( like complain about pine tar ). The mustard story doesn't get told often.
So now you know that I am a total idiot re: sports in general due to total immersion in gymnastics, and most of THAT was just doing it, not following particular athletes ( though of course some became sorta famous at the olympics etc ) We had high bar and parallel bars IN THE BACK YARD ! LOL... I once saw a friend try a giant swing ( we had no mat.. just grass ) and fly off and landed about 20 feet away ... he let go cause all the skin on his girly hands got ripped off as he was twirling around... goes to show you... be careful when trying new things.
His eyes had rolled up into his head so you could only see " white" for a little while... but then he came back to life ( whew ! ) . We quit for the day doing gymnastics.
Sooo, in answer to your question.. given my idiocy about these matters.. the Jets ( from Titans at polo grounds and 1 season I think at the new Shea Stadium --where the METS were ) with change in ownership and all that going on... could have been from west side story ( cause I think there's a long history of some stadium dreams over on the west side of manhattan ( which would be a total nightmare for traffic by the way ) ).. and since it rhymes with METS maybe.. and also maybe because when you go to shea stadium all you can hear most of the time are GIANT JETS FLYING LOW OVERHEAD on way to and from LaGuardia Airport which is like 100 feet away from home base.
A lot of New Yorkers liked the Jets at first because Joe Namath go them to the superbowl and won, much to the surprise of everyone on earth and mars too.. but really because it was a ny stadium instead of NJ ( everyone in NY makes fun of people in NJ ). The giants suffer for this cause a lot of people call them the NJ Giants. And now ( of course ) a lot of people call the Jets the NJ Jets too... since they left shea stadium ( which was a mess because they had to go on road games till the METS were done playing baseball...and then that stadium on the west side got blackballed again by a couple lawmakers in Albany ( they actually OWN the city and state, Sheldon Silver and some other guy ). Im not really up on that whole history of west side stadium but in part the cablevision guys who own madison sq garden dont want competition. They got it with the javits center for conventions but not for sports teams.. so I guess they're happy for now.
Now we got citi field and met life field and will probably rename the midtown tunnel " JP Morgan Tunnel " soon... but as I say, .... I don't go to any of these games and travel as little as possible so who cares.

Creative cloud won't remove my credit card, and now it won't let me cancel! How do I get off this ride?

I first tried to remove my credit card because I no longer want that card charged, but the card keeps coming back. So I decided, after all the trouble I've had with Dreamweaver crashing and Photoshop throwing up 'welcome screens' and all my settings getting changed with every update, to ditch Adobe CC for good.
However, I cannot cancel my account! The instructions show that when I click on CANCEL ACCOUNT I will get a window warning me of what I'll be losing, but instead I get a window telling me I have to contact customer support. Then when I follow these windows, there is no email address!
I've been using Adobe products since 1990. I've written books on Photoshop and Pagemaker, and lobbied (successfully) at the university where I taught to replace Quark with Indesign. I've pioneered Adobe Acrobat 3 for newspaper prepress.
But this is the last straw.
Please, someone tell me, how do I get off this damned ride???

That's the same damned window I got from the site, with no contact address.
I don't want to phone because it will cost me a fortune.
I don't want to 'chat' because I'm busy and can't afford the time right now.
I just want a BUTTON to click to stop Adobe debiting my credit card.
Just like I wanted to permanently rid myself of the Application Frame, but it kept coming back in all apps after an update. Just like I wanted to permanently rid myself of the welcome screens but they kept coming back. Just like I want my apps - especially dreamweaver - to work, instead of crashing daily. I guess I'm spoiled; I work on a Mac because I like things to work.
24 years of Adobe and you've finally managed to piss me off completely!

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

Thank you for all of your answer.

I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
