How to create this type effect within Appearance palette?

What would be the easiest way to set a lot of type in this style?
Currently I have it all set as type (not outlined) and have the Rise Warp effect applied from the Appearance tab as well as a Drop Shadow. However, with this method I have to go in manually with the pen tool to keep it from looking like this:
I'll be needing to make a number of titles in this style and I'm looking for the quickest way to do it. Any advice? Thanks.

  • How to create this fade effect

    I'm trying to create this fade effect in Dreamweaver 2004 and
    would appreciate any assistance.
    http://smallbusiness.smh.com.au/
    It's the blue and light orange fade half-box surrounding the
    "Management or Sales & Marketing or Show me information on:"
    sections in the middle of the page.
    Regards,
    James.

    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

  • How to create this type of cursive font?

    Is this done with brushes?
    What would be the best way to create this type of handwritten look?
    thanks

    You could use an art brush to assign ink stroke like these to a line.
    Create a brush type shape that's in a straight horizontal line with the desired beginning, end and edges.
    Then Brushes > New Brush > Art Brush will create an art brush. (whilst the shape is selected)
    With just one brush you will be quite limited, but with a selection of brushes generated in this way you can create a selection of brushes to deal with the various requirements of building a brush font that has some integrity.
    You will find that despite automating the brush process to an extent, that to create lettering like you examples, you will have to make a lot of tweaks.

  • 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.
    http://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/20486672/film-burn-light-transitions.html
    You could also just get your smart phone close to a lightbulb, make sure it's out of focus and then move it around.

  • How to create this type of Form?

    Hello ,
    I'm new to java so I would like a hint from experts on how to create such a form :
    A form that displays Customer's Codes and their name from Oracle database , so that they appear in the form as a list of 2 columns , what kind of compnents I should use to display this kind of data ? JTextField ? I dont think so .... . And also I would like to highlight each other line so that the list looks good , then at the top of the list I want a filter so that the data is filtered each time I enter a character . The last thing is how to make the data displayed have the ability to be dragged to another form in the application so that it fills the corresponding fields relative to the data dragged ?
    Too much ha? . Please just provide hints/ideas about each point as I know it can be time consuming to give details about all this.

  • How to create this scale effect/3D?

    I want to create an effect similar to what can be seen in the following video where the subject slowly scales up creating a 3D effect:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nH45OSmzY8
    I'm guessing that the subject is just masked out of the photo in Photoshop and placed on a new layer, brought into Premiere and the subject layer is just scaled up? Is there anything else?
    Any other tips for doing this?
    Thanks.

  • How to create this warp effect in illustrator

    Hi guys!
    I have a vector that I would like to add a line of text to in another language...
    At the top of the image attached with have the word "News" which is in the Rockwell font. I would like to create the same warp and change the word news to news in Swedish.
    I haven't a problem with the font or creating outlines etc...just getting the exact bend shown here...
    I am not sure what tools would have been used?
    bookie56

    bookie,
    I have noticed that the Type is also sheared.
    The silliest way I can come up with right away, which will allow you to use live Type so you can freely change language, is as follows, using the image as a locked background:
    1) Redraw the top and bottom (curved) lines of the heading area and create a one step blend between them and expand the blend so you get a central (curved) line;
    2) Write NEWS (or the Swedish equivalent) with the right size, then Object>Transform>Shear with a suitable value (10% or whatever);
    3) Create a rectangle with the same length as the central line and a height that exceeds the height of the Type, then position it so the Type is suitably placed (a bit above the middle, as desired left or right);
    4) Group path and Type and Object>Transform>Rotate by -90 degrees;
    5) Effect>Warp>Arch using a suitable value (6% or whatever);
    6) Brushes>New Brush, as an Art Brush, ticking proportional and keeping the downward direction (keep the Group);
    7) Apply the Brush to the central line.
    For a change of word/language, you can tick the Group and turn it into a new Art Brush after 5) and then repeat just 6) and 7).
    You could also prepare the text as in 1) - 5), making the rectangle height correspond to the heading area (the distance between top and bottom lines, then Object>Expand Appearance and rotate by 90 degrees, then join the two lines into a closed path on top in the stacking order, select both and Object>EnvelopeDistort>Make with Top Object. Well, that may be even sillier.

  • How to create this video effect in my videos?

    Hi all, new here, just got Premiere Elements 7 a week back, and must say i'm impressed...
    I came across a video effect in a song found here (found from 0:53 till 1:30) where the screen goes completely white for a fraction of a second in a smooth manner and the picture returns again after that.
    In fact i also want the effect of the fast forwarding of the video (audio remains the same) for a few seconds, which can also be found in the same clip in the same duration as i stated earlier... But till now i haven't been so successful at applying these...
    Can you please help me out? Thanks!

    For the "flash to white" you might take Paul's suggestion and invert it, i.e. placing the white matte on the Video Track (VT) above your footage, and Keyframing its Opacity. Personally, I'd look at doing this with Keyframing of Levels and cutting in a few frames of the white matte. Not sure about PE's Levels Effect (might look into some of the other "brightness" Effects too), but I'd be doing this in PrPro, which has a few more similar Effects.
    One tip on the "fast-forward:" this was likely shot that way, with the camera mounted on a sturdy tripod and the a momentary switch used on the camera to do "stop motion" as the actors moved in the scene. If you do the Time Remapping, make sure to shoot on a tripod, so that the background does not change positions, only the actors to keep it looking clean. It also appeared to me that the videographer shot a few frames without the talent in the scene and these were either created in camera, or were inserted. I might have imagined this, but its use could be effective also. To keep the Audio at the exact pitch and speed, when Time Remapping, you'll want to use a soundtrack, and not rely on the Audio from the camera. You can do some work with the camera Audio to try and maintain pitch, but it can be a lot of work. Even for ambient sounds, i.e. the background sounds of the field, or forrest, I'd keep it, plus the soundtrack, separate from the Video stream.
    An older Sci-Fi parody, "Ice Bandits" used a bit of stop motion freeze-framing and also under-cranking of the camera, for both Audio & Video, to create a humorous take on this Effect. If you can get a copy of that (might be on DVD?), look at the battle-scenes near the end. Heavy makeup changes were also incorporated to simulate "aging" when the action was sped up. The Time Remapped Audio contributed to the humor aspect, as the voices took on a "chipmunk-like" sound, and even the SFX were sped up too.
    I don't see much real stop motion anymore in video, as much can be done in post. Back in the cine days, it was used for all sorts of effects. Jack Boseburg did a three-film trilogy, called "Trolley," that incorporated a lot of real stop-motion camera work. In his film, he controlled the camera with an intervelometer.  I doubt that you could find a copy of this, however, as it was never commercially released.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    someone can reference some tutorials on the web would really
    appreaciate it.

    It can be done. See for example

    - look at the 'about

  • How to add this type of effect in photoshop plugin

    How to add this type of effect in photoshop by plugin

    Well, if that's the best you can do in describing what you consider an "effect" in this image, it will take a mind reader or clairvoyant to figure it out. 
    All I see is a guy that looks a lot like the infamous sex-slave-and-women-trafficker Saban Baran, possibly wearing a rug on his usually bald shaven head.

    If it's someone else and that is real hair, then someone may have selected the hair in Photoshop and applied a tiny bit of the Oil Filter on it.  The Oil Filter has been removed from the newest versions of Photoshop.

  • How to create a Lamella effect in PSE7 ?

    I'd like to create as a special effect a light and shadow lamella effect (as it can be seen when the light is coming through partially closed lamella curtains). Does someone knows how to create this effect with PSE7?
    Thanks for your help.

    I worked on this challenge a bit and came up with the following:
    Open picture file
    Duplicate background layer, work on background copy layer, shut off visibility of background layer by clicking on its eye icon. I do this so that if you want to start over again, you can just delete the newly generated layers.
    Create a new, blank layer at the top of the stack, fill this with 50% gray (Edit>fill layer>50% gray), Mode:overlay
    Go to Filter>sketch>Halftone pattern. Adjust size &  contrast. Pattern type:line
    Soften this a bit with Filter>noise>median - set radius to suit
    Still working on layer at top of stack with 50% gray, apply eraser tool to remove unwanted striping.
    Go to Image>transform>skew to achieve desired curvature of stripes
    Reduce opacity of this layer to suit.
    An alternative may be to take a picture of a venetian blind with light behind it, define this as a pattern (Edit>define pattern), then apply this pattern in a layer. I can't try this since we don't have venetian blinds.

    Hello,
    I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
    Soft reboot :
    1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
    - Alt
    - Right Shift
    - Delete
    2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
    Hard reboot :
    1) your Blackberry device is on
    2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
    3) Put the battery back
    4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
    Please tell us if it works for you.
