How do you do this effect on after effects?

I want to animate a video making so as to make it look like a painting is painting itself in front of our eyes.
Take for example this picture
Starting from a white image, do you know a way, with after effects, to make it look as if an invisible brush was painting it before our eyes?
Please do tell me if i'm being unclear or imprecise about what i want and i will elaborate.
Thanks

You use animated track mattes. The trick is creating the track matte. You can use dozens of techniques but most if not all involve a bunch of hand work.
Here's what a Google search turned up as the first offering when searching "After Effects reveal painting tutorial." I didn't watch the tutorial but it should get you started. As I said in the first sentence, there are hundreds of different ways you can do this technique but all involve animated track mattes.

Mathew,
try this link for free light leak downloads
http://vashivisuals.com/free-assets-for-film-and-video-editors/
place the light leak above your video layer, set its blend mode to 'screen', and set 3 opacity keyframes where you want the light leak to happen - the first being 0, then 5 frames later set the second keyframe to an opacity of 75 and then another 5 frames later set the third keyframe to 0 to get the light leak to flash as in your example video.
Hope this helps

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 CS6

There 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.

How do you fix Error Code:7 (After Effects CS5)

After a few minutes of working with any simple effects or presets in Adobe After Effects CS5 I will get this error below every time:
"Your hardware configuration does not meet minimum specifications needed to run the application. The application must close. Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/page/support.html for help. Error code: 7"
Once this pops up I have to close the program without saving. Why am i receiving this error and how can I fix it? By looking at the specs below of my laptop I can't understand how I could get an error saying that my configuration does not meet minimun specifications.
Here are my computer specs:
Lenovo IdeaPad Y570
Intel i7-2670QM 2.20GHz
8 GB RAM
Windows 7
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M with CUDA & dedicated 1GB RAM
NVIDIA driver version 8.17.12.6844

Turn off your onboard intel graphics chip in the BIOS or configure your Optimus driver accordingly. Seems like AE is switching the graphics driver in the middle of things or the wrong one is used to begin with (that is the weaker intel chip). also simply updating all drivers may make the problem disappear.

How do you move text edited in After Effects into Final Cut Pro?

I edited text in After Effects and want to use it at the start of my movie which is in Final Cut Pro.
How do I export the After Effects editted text into FCP?
I have FCP 7
Thankyou

I suppose the way to do it is to export to Quicktime and import that into FCP X.
Use ProRes 4444 codec in order to preserve transparency (alpha channel).

Thanks for the reply,. I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue.
Even more details:
If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account. No other accounts on the machine are effected.
I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.

What I know is that the phone worked perfectly fine until I upgraded the software. I've tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I've shut the phone off, put it in a ziplock baggie and then into the freezer for 15 minutes. This made the wifi work temporarily but then it goes back to being grayed out. The wifi does not work at other wifi sites away from my home as well. Seems like an apple issue to me and would appreciate someone coming up with a fix, apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. Thanks for replying to my query, any ideas?
It's likely a hardware issue. The iOS will not directly cause this issue.
Use this article first:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1559
If that fails to resolve it, then try setting it up as new and testing again.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
If the issue remains even after set up as new, it's a hardware problem, not a software problem. You'll need to contact Apple for you hardware service options. If within warranty it should be free. If not, expect to pay $149 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4, $199 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4S.

How do you reactivate this phone in another family member name after the original owner now deceased

How do you reactivate this phone Verizon Droid Maxx in another family member name after the original owner now deceased

To switch it to another number, you need to activate another phone on the number you no longer need (or have Verizon cancel it for the deceased member). Once that line is no longer active, you can activate the phone on another number - have Verizon CS at a store help you, or follow the steps on verizonwireless.com from the account of the person you do want it to be activated for.

How can i make this effect in After Effects?

hello guys, im new to this awesome program, im using the trial version so ive limited time to learn XD
can you tell me ho can i replicate this effect in after effect?
http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2ajnybc&s=6
looks like speed effect... is there a way to replicate it in after effects?
thank you

CC Bender is really easy to use. Just take the default settings and animate the amount with about three keyframes.
We can make it a lot more complicated with something like liquefy, or even Time Displacement.

How do I create this special lens flare effect?

Hey all!
So I was wondering how to create a lens flare-like effect. I should mention that I already know how to make the circle lens flare effect in after effects but I'm looking for more of a colored "wash" lens flare effect.
The effect is in this video starting at 00:16 seconds, with the lady in the car and the pink/yellow hues bouncing around.
http://vimeo.com/60631128
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or at least pointing me towards a tutorial or just the name of the effect so i can find a tut.
Thanks all!

First created shape layer that is Close to the base color you want for your flair. Second add fast blur or Gaussian blur of a value that is about half the size of your shape layer. Change the blend mode to add, duplicate, increase the blurb about 50%, duplicate repeat until you get what you want. Many times when creating this kind of an artificial lens flare effect I would use many different colors in the same flare. Sometimes I will make the layers 3-D and move them around in 3-D space.
The only other really good option is to buy some stock footage of real lens flares and colorize them using color grading effects.
by the way, one color grading and creating "light" affects you should always work with 32-bit projects.

I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

If you want to erase the BootCamp Partition, you'd use the Bootcamp utility.
Then that part of the Mac's hard disk drive may be available for use in OS X.
{Or, if you want to install a clean Windows 7 in the same BootCamp partition
you'd use the BootCamp utility to erase/install Windows in the same location.
There is a BootCamp Support section in Apple Support online, and also there
is a fairly OK ASC discussions area specific to that purpose. }
But you may have to check to see if the partition map is correct for Mac OS X
after you've used Bootcamp utility to remove Windows and the partition map.
If you do not use the BootCamp utility to remove Windows, correctly or if a
different method to install Windows was used, you'd have to move your Mac
OS X system and applications off the computer to an external hard drive by
use of a clone utility (carbon copy cloner, or superduper, etc) then use the
OS X disk utility (from running clone, is easiest) to erase the computer's HD
and then correctly partition map and format the hard drive for Mac OS X.
At that point, the entire drive would be erased to reclaim any untouched
partitions from alternative Windows utilities that were used, or not used in
the time frame of proper opportunity.
I've had a few Macs that had been partitioned for Windows and found one
second hand MacBook to have more actual hard disk drive capacity than
the previous owner and the Mac HD info suggested on first glance. About
70% of the drive had been a Windows partition, but was invisible to OS X.
So that turned out to be a lucky find, it was like installing a larger HDD.
The wording of your question leaves a lot
of important information out of the picture.
Good luck!

HT2534 How do you use an iTunes card after you have redeemed it?? I have entered my code for redeem and when I click on purchase song it asks me for a credit card?!

How do you use your iTunes card after you have redeemed it. I have entered my redeem code and my balance is $20.00 but when I go to buy a song it asks me for my credit card details...?!

If you set up an Apple ID already and didn't enter credit card details because you were planning on using gift cards only, you probably set up the account incorrectly. If this is the case, you will have to enter the credit card details even if you want to use only gift cards and download free content only. Yoy will not have to use the card, but you can't use the ID without entering the card details now. You may be able to remove the card as well after the card is verified for use by Apple by editing your account details.
There is a very specific manner in which you have to set up an ID without using a credit card. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
See this about changing iTunes account information.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you decide to create a new ID now, you will new another email address as wel, because the email address that you are currently using will already be associated with the ID that you just set up.
I am making certain assumptions here and reading between the lines of your post, so if I am guessing incorrectly, post back with more details.

How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud. (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
