How do I create this particle effect?

I am pretty new to After Effects and I'm getting to grips with all the particle effects and have managed to create some cool looking animations, but I'm trying to create the particle effect as seen in the image link below. Can anyone tell me how this is done, and what plug-in (if any) would be used to create something like this? I can't get anything I do to look like this. Thanks...

Create the custom particle in Photoshop or a separate comp. Drag the custom particle into your main comp, turn its visibility off, set Particular's particle setting to "Custom Particle", and choose the new layer as the source.
Create a camera for the comp and turn on "Depth of field". Experiment with the settings until you get the desired effect.
Personally, I'd use two Particular layers for that look, one for the larger particles and another for the smaller ones.

  • How do I create this gloss effect?

    Hi there,
    Currently I'm building a master based on someone else's work.
    I'm trying to remake a gloss effect, but I can't figure out how she did it.
    In one of the files, I found out how it works.
    The gloss effect is a pentagon placed over an image, like in the picture I included.
    Can anyone help me on how to recreate a pentagon like this?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Check the color of the overlaid polygon, and it's blend mode and transparency in the Effects panel.

  • How do I create this text effect in motion?

    Hi,

    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!

  • How do I create this window effect?

    I was looking at this photo
    http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/442024/442024,1297015560,3/stock-vecto r-download-button-set-vector-set-for-web-70603081.jpg
    trying to figure out how they get the little window to appear like that.
    I can create the window panes by creating rectangles, but curing it around like that, i am not sure of.
    I tried "shear" bu it chops off some of the window instead of just curving it around.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks for your help.

  • How can i create this videos effect ?

    Hello, i am new here, and i have a project in my hand. I have to create a slideshow presentation on certain subject.   I have completed the slideshow using a tool called,PhotoStage Slideshow Producer, with a bunch of 60 images. Now i want to add a small video effect in the beginning of the slideshow to make it look more professional. Here is the download link for the video. http://www.mediafire.com/download/i5az6a7rjp3lbkn/Video.rar This video is farely advanced for my liking, but you got the general message. I want something really simple and i want to add it in between different images for some effect. I may be asking in the wrong forum, again. Can Adobe’s Premiere Pro do it , or is there some other simple program that can make these kind of effect. Thank you.

    Might be able to create it with Filter > Render > Clouds with your foreground and background colors set to the lighter and darker versions of your selected color. Then you might need to use Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur to smooth things out

  • How can I create this rollover effect in Flash CS5?

    I'm pretty new to Flash, and I want to create a button like these.
    I understand how to make a basic rollover button, but I haven't got a clue how to do animation like that.
    http://www.werkstette.dk

    the easiest way would be to create one movieclip that has
    1.  a rectangular mask (to mask everything),
    2.  a dynamic textfield  with whatever colored and embedded font.
    3.  whatever colored background
    4.  another textfield that has a y property greater than the mask so it's not visible until the mask is rolled over.  embed the font
    5.  another background for the rolled over movieclip
    everything will need instance names so you can control with actionscript.  you can then assign rollover and rollout code to your movieclip mask.
    on rollover, you'll tween the first textfield (and possibly background) to a y less than your mask.  tween the textfield with easing.  and you'll tween the 2nd textfield and 2nd background to about the same y as your mask.  again, tween the textfield with easing but not the background.

  • How do I create this rollover effect?

    http://www.gunnar.ca/layout.htm
    I am attempting to design a site. I have the idea for the
    layout and have created it using tables at the address above. I
    realize I should be using css to create the layout instead of
    tables. First of all - is this layout difficult to create using css
    - and where would I start with that? I ordered an HTML/CSS book and
    will dig in when it arrives.
    Secondly - I want an image to appear in the empty space
    (where there is an empty table right now) when I mouse over a menu
    item - ie when I mouse over "wood veneer" I want a graphic to
    appear in the empty space - that would be java script, no?
    So I would layout the page using html and css, then add some
    java script in to make the roll over thing happen?

  • How to create this lighting effect in Premiere Pro or After Effects?

    Hey,
    I'm a student and premiere beginner and I'm trying to make my first video in premiere. In this video,  Drawing Channing Tatum - YouTube ,  you will see that lighting effects in the first 10 seconds. How can i create this?
    I thank you so much!
    Marie

    That is stock footage of the ends of a film roll exposed to light during the loading process that is simply laid over the video with the add or screen blend mode applied. You can search for "film damage" stock footage and find something that would work from stock footage houses. You can fake your own with shape layers, blurs and opacity animations using the same add or screen blend mode. It's just much harder to get the film damage to look "real."
    Here's what my google search turned up as the first link to stock footage. I have no relationship with this company and have never used their footage.

    You could also just get your smart phone close to a lightbulb, make sure it's out of focus and then move it around.

    Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

    you can just have everything in an entire H box or V box with
    a "move left" and "move right" function, that moves the X
    coordinates once the button is clicked.. should be as easy as that.
    to make it smooth like that you'd need a few extra components but
    shouldn't be that hard.

    Hi
    can be done in Fireworks, photoshop or xara.
    Simply load up the software and create a simple rectangle.
    Select you fill
    bucket and search for an option "gradient fill". Select the
    linear option
    and have a play with colours. I would suggest it's a blue to
    transparent
    gradient. Then you create a text layer and export the result
    as a gif (as
    it's a simple graphic).
    Take the exported graphic and place on your page using your
    chosen method.
    If you need a walk through I'd suggest going to the Fireworks
    forum where
    you'll get all the help you want or

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.
