Layering Video Effects in iLife 09

I liked how in iMovie 6 you could layer multiple video fx on one clip. Any idea how to do this in iLife 09??

i have bleach bypass on the clip now. i want like a rock video kind of look. i am really just curious if you can have 2 effects in imovie 09. it seems like imovie only allows for one effects.

Adjustment Layer staying white and won't apply its effects to layering video?

Adjustment Layer staying white and won't apply its effects to layering video?
I was using adjustment layers for color correcting and now my adjustment layer is just staying white and I've looked at so many forums and i can't find what I'm doing wrong...
I reset my preferences, I made a new project I'm clueless.

That is After Effects but ..try openig the composition window (TAB)
You are looking at the AL in Footage Window.

What are the video effects used in this video

I was just wondering if anybody could help me. I was intrigued to find out what kind of video effect is used in this video at 0:16 - 0:18 and if theres a name for this type of video and editing used throughout the video such as the continous stream of different videos etc.

Do you mean the distorted lips or the bad tv reception.
The distorted lips can be anything from Bulge to Mesh Warp to Liquefy.
The bad TV reception can be started with the Bad TV Effects Presets that comes with AE. You can modify or edit these as you like.
I know of no specific style name that goes along with any part of this video other than lazy. It looks like nobody had an idea of what they wanted to do so they just shot a bunch of stuff and threw every effect they had in their bag of tricks at the project. Turn off the sound and it's impossible to tell what it is about. I don't mean to be critical but there's not much original here that I haven't seen a zillion times going back to the Video Toaster days. (probably before you were born). It's nothing more than a bunch of quick cuts and jitter.
Load up about 100 layers, trim them do different lengths from 5 to 30 frames, Select half of them, apply Bad TV1 to that bunch, Apply Bad TV2 to the another 10 random layers. Add tint, bulge, to a few more. set a couple of position and rotate keyframes to a few more then add wiggle to those, then use the Keyframe Assistant to sequence the layers and you'll be pretty close. It should take you about 15 minutes.
If you've got a specific question about how they made this jitter or how they made time stutter ask away. If used to tell a story these techniques are all useful. If you just want to create a jarring montage then follow my suggestion in the previous paragraph then run Brainstorm a couple of times.

Keyframing video effects??? Please help

hello, I am trying to keyframe a video effect, "line art" in particular off...eg have line art keyframe to the original clip. Within the filters tab of the viewer I only have options to keyframe specific parameters of this effect however there are no combinations of these parameters that will allow me to keyframe back to the origianal video.
The only way that i can do something similar is to stack the same clip on 2 tracks and keyframe opacity.
Is there an easier way??
Thanks for your help

I'm not having trouble with dissolve keyframing. Im using 9 individual frames to make a grid with transitions throghout. < </div>
That's a completely different situation than the one you posted originally.
Nest the nine frames. Apply individual keyframes as you call them for other effects to the separate layers in the upstream sequence. Apply your dissolve or keyframe off as you say to the nested sequence in the downstream version.

Video Effects Die Out

Hey,
Near the end of a video I'm making, the video effects I'm using just gradually stop. I'm using Edge Work and Flase Color, the video is 1:47 long, and the effects start dieing at 1:36 or so. Does anybody know why? Thanks!

.. so how do I check the format?..
YOU did select the 'format' of your project in the 'Create New Project' dialog...
.. I'm not sure which harddrive it's on..
.. if you don't know.. me no psychic ... same: when creating New Project, you did choose a location.. somewhere ... somehow ..
.. I do have an external one connected... ..
.. and you're using it as 'out-of-the-box'? ...- which is usually wrong formatted ... follow advice given here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1009.html
to use iM in its all shining glory, use it as a DV-editor, meaning: iMovie is by concept for working with firewire connected miniDV camcorders...
as long as you use iM as meant, no computer skills needed, if you try to teach the dog new tricks - you need some background know-how..
here's a good start for beginners:

Using video effects in quicktime pro

how can i access the video effects in quicktime pro every time i try and use the filters i cant apply them to the movie can any one help ie fade dissolve etc any threaaaaaaad would help can not find anything in the manuals have been looking for hours ??????????????

Only looking for hours?

A "movie" made from still images and some sound tracks. All made using QuickTime Pro.
The "transitions" were made by taking the still images and adding them "scaled" to a ten second audio track. The audio was deleted so then I had about 50 little ten second videos. Two of these videos were merged into one file using:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/samplemakeeffectmovie/index.html
Thousands of combinations can be created.
They were all added over another QT track (map of Texas) and their position and transparency levels and layers were adjusted. Last I copied all of this file and added it "scaled" to my two sound tracks.
The "filters" can be accessed via the Export "Movie to QuickTIme Movie" but they are applied to the entire file at export. If you wish to use more than one filter you should first create separate files from your source project.
The end result (a 4 MB file) would require over 300 MB's if done in an application like iMovie. The transitions add nearly nothing to the total file size when you do them using QuickTIme Pro.

No Video effects

The previous version of IMovie had a number of enhancements to video clips, particular slow and backward motion. The "new" iMovie has absolutely no video effects, not one.
Had I known this upgrade took a few steps forward, but 3 back, I would have not made the upgrade.

+My upgraded replaced the previous iMovie version on my Mac. Is there a way I can still access both versions?+
Your previous iMovie version is stored on your HD in 'iMovie (previous version)' and you can use it. I would prefer you to download the iMovie HD 6.0.4 version (the previous version was 6.0.3) at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html as this version works better with iLife '08, if found.
Hope this helped.
iMovie '08 is no good--no video FX. Easy to use but no functionality.

Problems with video effects in iMovie

Hi, I'm a new user of imovie and I have found some difficulties: where is the video effects menu? In particular, it is possible to increase (or decrease) the speed of a clip?
Thanks for anyone who could help me,
Mac Shunsuke

iM08 offers no effects at all, that option was dropped by Apple..
you're entitled on a free download of iMHD6 here
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
which offers fast/slow/reverse as v/fx ..
another option is usage of a free 3rd party app, link and how-to on my site here

have you seen the tutorials for iM08?

Video Effects in Premiere Pro?

I am new to Premiere Pro.
What is the extent of Premiere's video effects capabilities?
I am making a music video and want to overlay various transparent images over video, speed video up and apply different color filters or blurs to video.
Is this possible with Premiere? Or should I look for other software?
If it is possible what would be a good source of free tutorials to get me up to speed in how to implement these effects?

I am making a music video and want to overlay various transparent images over video, speed video up and apply different color filters or blurs to video.
Is this possible with Premiere?
Absolutely... but it depends on the editors creativity and competency with the application and achieving "the vision."
Don't expect these effects to be a simple Drag and Drop prebuilt effect on top of a clip and BINGO.
You need to craft them with the tools available in PPro ( and /or AEFX). eg Masks, Blend Modes, Opacity, Filters.
Do a search on Premiere "blend modes" for a start. ( Tip. These are effectively the same in Photoshop and AEFX)
Example frame grabs were done with Layers, Blend Mode -Overlay , combined with Opacity and CCd to B&W

Is it permissible to upload a video on youtube with music, sounds effects, and video effects from imovie?

Lately, I've been editing and making videos for a local church in Mexico. I am not selling any of the videos. The are free to watch. However, is it permissible to upload a video with music, sound effects, and video effects from imovie? I using imovie version 10.0.2

This question comes up from time to time.
There are a number of con-men who think that they can earn a quick buck from claiming that they own the copyright to Apple’s royalty-free jingles and sound effects included with the iLife applications. These are all free to use, as clearly stated in section 2.C of the iLife Software License Agreement:
“You may use the Apple and third party audio content (“Audio Content”) contained in or otherwise included with the Apple software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets, or audio content may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound files, sound effects or music beds.”

Video effects cause flickering in rendered output video

I'm working on a few videos for my company right now and I'm having problems with my final exports. After editing the video to my liking I apply a few video effects like the shadow/highlight tool and some color correction. The only problem is, when I export the video I see a lot of flickering. Its like the effect is changing settings during play back. Ive tried changing the "temporal smoothing" settings, but aside from increased render times It seems to have little effect.
The video was originally shot in HDV at 1080i. The output settings I've been using are Quicktime>mpeg-4>progressive scan.
Please help me figure out this problem.

Stefan,
I hardly ever disagree with Dan, but find Shadow & Highlight a useful tool, depending on the footage. However, if one leaves it in Auto mode, you WILL get flickering at every lighting change. I have never found a reason to use Auto, and will use the Razor Tool to separate my "Clips," then apply S&H but with manual settings, for each.
It's like S&H in PS. I always just dupe a Layer, apply, and then adjust the Opacity of these two Layers, since H&S cannot be applied as an Adjustment Layer, because of the way it works.
It is a great Effect, but one must be very careful with it and be ready to make manual adjustments on a scene-by-scene basis.
Matter of fact, unless one has an entire Clip of a talking head, in the same exact lighting conditions (and I mean 100% same), no "Auto" function works well. Maybe one day I'll find one and eat a few words, but I don't think so.
Study your footage, use the Razor and apply H&S with only manual settings - judge them critically.
@ Craig,
I agree that Levels (non-Auto) is very useful. It would be better, if Premiere had Curves, like PS, but it doesn't. H&S is rather like Levels, but with A-B masks applied, based on the image's H&S levels. On footage that I have not created, Levels is my first stop, and I set these manually. Often, PP's H&S is my #2, also on manual. If all is not "right," I'll move on to the two main color correctors and adjust the fine points. Levels will do a lot, but falls short of Curves, which PP doesn't have. H&S, used wisely, can get one close.
Now, all that said, lighting the scene is the best "cure," but some of us do not have that leisure - we have to work with client's footage and some of it is bleak indeed.
Good luck,
Hunt

Does iMovie have Sound and Video Effects?

Before i begin filming my college film i wanted to ask and see if imovie has sound and video effects. what i mean is like, say in the film a gun is shot, well does imovie have a shot going off sound? are there sound effects? or am i asking in the wrong place and see if garageband has these?
also, video effects? i know imovie has like sepia and black and white tones among others but can i add other types of effects? if so, what kinds?
thanks!

you're looking for specific effects for your specific needs.. why not launching iM on your MacBook.. and look for your own..???
BEFORE doing a "serious" project, I would allway do some test/dummy projects, just to get comfortable with some software ...
plus:
the two additional audio tracks allow easiely to place small audio snippets, downloaded from anywhere in the web to your movie.. if you need explosions, gunshots, lightsabres, whatever, the iNet is full of sources...
plus:
you can teach iM lots of new tricks by installing/purchasing 3rd party plug-ins, if you need very special effects , iM does not support out-of-the-box.

Premiere Elements 7: track matte key video effect does not work?

I want to use the track matte key video effect to fade out some cropped video clips. So I did a test:
first track: video clip
second track: PNG file, black with white circle
third track: video clip with FX with second track (here: Video 5) and luminance
As you can see in the picture the small preview pic above the effects shows the effect like I expected: a circle with the content of the third, lowest, clip. But the large video preview shows the first clip.
What did I do wrong?
I tested other settings and track orders. No efforts.

Bill, thanks again for your help! Good tutorial. That's what I need in principle! My try was a bit more complicated ...
But I can't help. The white area stays (see screenshot top left corner). Only some of the small blurred area around the shape shines through as I could see playing around without blurring the video clip.
I used:
title with white (it is 100% white) shape and blur effect above
video clip with track matte effect and matte alpha on the title track, reversed (blur effect on whole clip like in the tutorial)
Rendering and export does not change anything.
I'm feeling a bit stupid.

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

What video effect for color desaturation? (e.g. Hue/Saturation in Photoshop)

Hi all,
What is the Premiere equivalent of the HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer found i Photoshop ? I am trying to slightly desaturate (about -53%) my movie to give it a more gritty look. I could easily get the look I wanted in Photoshpo by going to NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER-->HUE/SATURATION.
Is there a similar approach for Premiere? In the Video effects folder somewhere? Thanks!

Use the "Fast Color Corrector and "Saturation".
