  • How to get this skin effect on a black model?

    hello everyone!!!
    i was wondering if anyone knows how to get this final effect on a picture with a black model?

    1. Original image
    2. Convert to grayscale, then back to RGB
    3. Approximate color of sample
    4. Curves to add contrast
    Final.  Dodge selected quartertones
    If desired, add a very, very slight noise. Not in image here. (Add'l layer: Gaussian, Mono, very low opacity)

  • Can Someone Tell Me How to Do This Text Effect?

    Ok so this video has this text effect that I spent 2 days looking on how to do it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LATGUNnlUr8
    The text effect starts at 0:47-0:49
    I tried looking for plugins and etc but I just can't find any that do this or something similar to it! It would mean a lot if you could tell me how to do it ^^

    The text itself simply appears character by character.  The "Typewriter" animation preset will do the job.  Additionally, there's a spray of particles accompanying the text.  You could generate these with the CC Particl World plugin.  You'll need to match the floor of the effect to the floor of your shot/background.  Animate the location of the particle generator to match the locatio of the appearing text.  Finally, apply some Glow.

    How to make this effect? I'm new in illustrator.

    It looks like 3 discs with a 2d image applied to them. I would try the 3d revolve tool to create one, then duplicate it for the other two.

  • How to produce this colour effect?

    Hi all,
    I went through this youtube and found that the colour scheme is rather unique. How do I achieve such effect in FCE?
    Pls browse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnfIG5A83e8
    Thanks in advance guys.

    Patrick Sheffield has some free plugins that you may find useful.
    The video also looks like they used lens filters during the shoot, like a Tiffen Soft/FX, ProMist or diffusion filter.

  • 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,

    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 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.

  • 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,

  • Photoshop CS3: How to Get This "Retro" Effect!

    OK, I've been seeing this REALLY awesome retro look on images and am not sure how to do it! Any of you know how? Here is a link to a gallery that shows this type of effect: (you'll have to scroll over to image 3)
    http://www.stephcarson.com/wedding/wedding1/
    Go to image number 3 (3/40)
    thank you in advance!

    Hi Jacalyn,
    Here's one way (among many) to accomplish the effect in 2 minutes or less.
    Work from a COPY of your original.
    First, using hue/saturation, reduce the saturation to give a "faded" effect.
    Add a new layer; fill that layer with the color of the "tint" you want to
    apply. Change the blending mode for that layer to "Color" and adjust the
    opacity to suit.
    For the irregular vignette, add another layer and fill it with the dark tone
    you want for the vignette. Add a layer mask filled with white. With a very
    large, soft brush, paint on the mask with black to allow the center to
    become visible.
    When done, flatten & save in whatever format you wish -- or save it with the
    layers intact as a PSD if you think you may want to make more changes.
    As I said, there are other ways to accomplish this. There are always
    multiple ways in Photoshop, but this is quick & dirty.

  • 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 achieve this special effect

    I want a shot where some one picks a dead rose off a rose bush, but after they pick it and while they are holding it, the rose comes to life and is in full bloom again.
    How can I achieve this shot? I have tried shooting someone picking a dead rose, then shooting a 2nd shot of them picking a live rose and morphed the 2 shots together. I just did this real quick to see if it would work and did not put much time into it, but it looks promising if I actually spent some time on morphing it correctly.
    However, just want to ask on here and get other ideas, if any.
    Also, the rose is being picked in the winter time, and its summer here. So I was going to use photographs and build a 3D world out of 2D planes of a winter scene. Then add a photo of a rose bush. Is there any techniques that I can make the rose looks like it is part of the rose bush seamlessly?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Andrew,
    In cinematic terms, you're not working with 2 shots here, but at least 3.
    The medium or wide establishing scene 1 is Picking the dead rose. (you might want to use a cutaway close up of the rose to establish it's "deadness".
    The second should probably be a close up of the rose TRANSFORMATION.
    The final shot is back to a medium or wide shot of the character interacting with the live rose - perhaps inhaling it's fragerence - again, selling the "liveness" of the transformed rose.
    Your SFX (special effect) scene is scene 2.
    The easiest way to sell the transition is to use a pretty tight close up of the rose itself (easier) or the hand and the dead rose (more difficult)
    Then have the actor holding the rose hold as steady as possible while someone substitutes the live rose in as close to the same position as possible.
    The trick then, is to both position and transition from one shot to the next.
    In FCP, you'd stack the two ROSE CU shots directly over each other on two tracks. Then use a series of garbage mattes on the lower track to CROP away everything but that which you want to change. Perhaps including as much of the stem as you need to sell the effect if you want to try to use the whole rose plus stem. Using rotation and frame positioning, you'd want to match the live rose and the dead rose as closely as possible in terms of position and angle.
    Then you could use a cross fade, or some fancy dissolve (perhaps a dither dissolve?) to replace the dead rose with the live one.
    The transition can be relatively short if you have the final scene ready to complete the idea that the rose is reborn in the hand of the character.
    That's how I'd approach it. One of many ways to do this kind of thing.
    Good luck.

  • Can some one  please explain how they do this flicker effect.

    Put two clips on two tracks. Apply the blink filter to the clip on the top track, one frame on, one frame off.

    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:

  • 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.
