How do I make this frame flicker effect?
Hi,
I am new to iMovie and need some help. I would like to try and create an effect similar to the one in this movie,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPuEU16P3zg
it's the transition just after the title screen comes up (about 1m 20s into the video) where the frames flicker and move off center, kind of looks like an old tape reel running out.
Any help will be gratefully received,
Cheers,
Luke.
In the old days I used to call it ghosting
(and people understood : )
There are several ways to skin this kitty:
1. Make a curve adjustment layer above the image[s] and play with the curve's ends
or
2. make a new layer above all others, fill it with white and play with the layer's opacity and blending modes
or
3. make a new white layer below the others, group the "others" [if there are more than one], and reduce the opacity of the group

How to easily make this compass burst effect
I've been looking for an easy way to make what I am calling a compass burst effect. I've been interested in making compass lines in the past, and have given up becuase it was too time cosuming. I'm hoping there is an easy way to do this that I am overlooking.
Thank you!Brandon,
A Polar Grid way could be to:
1) Use the Polar Grid (bundled with the Line Segment Tool, hover and hold until the flyout appears) with the desired larger outer diameter and number of ticks as Radial Dividers, 0 Concentric Dividers, then Ungroup and delete the circle part;
2) Use the Polar Grid with the desired smaller outer diameter and number of ticks as Radial Dividers, 0 Concentric Dividers, then Ungroup and move the circle part on top; make sure both 1) and 2) are aligned (you may use the Align palette or place the centres on top of each other;
3) Rotate the tick set from 2) by 180/number of either kind of ticks;
4) Change the circle part taken from 2) to have a white fill and no stroke, then reduce its diameter to the desired diameter of the inner ends of the ticks;
5) Copy the circle taken from 4) and reduce the diameter to that of the inside circle and change to the desried stroke and no fill.
You may set the colours of ticks and stroked circle as desired.
If you wish/need to have transparency inside the tick marks, you may:
6) Select the tick marks and the white fill circle and in the Transparency palette flyout tick Make Opacity Mask, with Clip unticked and Invert Mask ticked. -
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 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. -

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,

How can I make a fade out effect at the end of the song in garageband for iPad?

GB for iPad doesn't have volume automation, you'd need to import the project into GB on a Mac to create the fade with a volume curve.
as an alt, finish your song and export the audio file, then import the audio file in an audio editor and create a volume fade with that:

}Edited by: SirSaula on Dec 5, 2009 4:39 PMExtract code into methods, so that when an action is performed a method is called. That way you can reuse the method for purposes such as resetting textfields to their default values, scores to default values, etc.
You can go one step further and seperate the GUI layer from the processing layer, by deriving classes that for example maintain and calculate a score.

Backup your library using this User Tip.
The same tool can be used to backup other important user data.
Deauthorise the old computer
Restore the library into the music folder of your new profile. (Use the same tool as for the backup)
Install iTunes and sign in to your account.

I want to install Mac Office from my DVD drive located on my Windows 7 computer. How do I make this work?
Well, it sounds as though you are trying to install Windows software on a Mac computer.
If that's really what you want to do, you have another project to do first. You could use Apple's Boot Camp software or 3rd party software such as Parallels or VMWare. If so, you have some reading and research to do.
Or maybe you are trying to use Remote Disc? Here is a link to using Remote Disc for Windows:

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.
