Learning How to Create an Interesting Effect

Hello,
Can whoever reads this please explain to me the process it
would take to create the scrolling effect on
[S=Howcast]http://www.howcast.com[/S?
I've learned PHP in approximately one month and MySQL in less
than a week and would like to begin doing the same for ActionScript
3.0. I purchased the OReilly Essential ActionScript 3.0 book and
would really like to know all that I must learn in order to create
an effect like that.
Thank you for reading,
Alex

I'm also learning java and I'm not quite sure what are you trying to do. Are you trying to read your pre-defined input in the text field?

Need to learn how to create a slideshow in Flash

Hello All,
I'm new to Flash and I need to learn how to do a slideshow with exactly the same features as can be found in this link:
http://www.esppromo.com/index.asp
Just like at the link above, it needs to play through the slides automatically once the page is loaded, each slide needs to link to a specific URL, and I need controls similar to the boxes at the bottom so the viewer can click on any specific slide they wish to view (I'd like to have numbers in the boxes though). The transitions don't have to slide across like this. If a fade is easier, that would be fine.
Since I've looked online, but can't find any tutorials for doing this in Flash Professional, I think I'll pick up a book on Flash. There are some online tutorials that are close but nothing that is exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a particular book that covers creating this type of slide show with the links and controls exactly as I need it to be. I see these types of slide shows on a lot of sites now, so I'm hoping that maybe someone else on this forum has had to learn how to do this and can recommend a book they used?
I was looking at Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book and it looked like it may be what I'm after, but I am rather cautious, as I don't want to end up with instructions that are close to what I am looking for, but not quite right.
Actually, I thought I'd be able to do this fairly easily with Flash Catalyst, so I updated to Adobe CS5 Design Premium. I found that Flash Catalyst can be used to create a slide show like this, but unfortunately it won't play automatically when the page loads and the viewer has to manually click through the slides, which is not what I need. I could be wrong, but from what I've read, I need Flash Builder to add code so the slide show will play automatically if I create it in Flash Catalyst. Since it's not an option for me to buy more software at this time, I've decided to learn how to do this in Flash Professional.
I really want to learn how to do this. I expect to go on and create more using Flash, but for now I just REALLY need to figure this slide show out.
If anyone can help out, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks,
William

Edit:
i'm sorry. it is a huge work to type this and will be confusing as hell. i'm already up to 1 full word page of explanation. Though i am able to do it, explaning it in full lengh is ... well.. very hard. Way harder than it is to make your flash itself.
I can however point you to some element you should read about how to make them:
- How to use timeline in flash cs4
- how to create a button in flash cs4
- How to make "CLASSIC TWEEN" in flash cs4
- How to use ActionScript 2 ( AS2) basic command like : GetUrl, Gotoandplay, Stop and how to put those script in the right location. ( AS2 allow you to put script directly on the button itself. however it is best to put it in the Action Layer that you will have to build in the timeline.
- How to import thing in library.
keep in mind that what you want to make is mostly a Logic probleme...
- Image 1 click = GetURL X,
- After Y time, Switch image 1 to image 2 with animation. Do the same for the button.
- If you click on button 1 while being on image 3, you have to set all the reverse animation in the timeline, and use a lot of Gotoandplay.
Hope this help you a little.
I'm sorry. i really wanted to help you do it, but it is just a monstruous job to write all this.

How to create the droste effect in photoshop cc 2014?

In the past you could use pixel bender to create the droste effect, that is what I have found out from the internet.
But how to create that effect today seams non existent on the net!
Can any one help?
KR,
AJ

Right. Pixel Bender is gone. It was an experimental filter available from Adobe Labs but never made it into an actual product release. As of CS6, Oil Paint filter was introduced. It's not the same thing but more like a shaved down version of Pixel Bender.
Look at Filter Forge. They offer a 30-day trial. Disclaimer: I've never used it myself.

How to create a text effect like this (see example)

Hello everybody,
i would like to create a text, pretty similiar to this shirt: http://www.kuhvet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/OKC-Conference-Champs-LR-T-shirt.jpg
So, the stext hould appear in 3D (kind of) and also should have a golden and silver outline. Also the shadow should drop in front of the text.
I hope that's possible and not that hard to create? I'm a beginner to Illustrator (CS4).
Thanks a lot for your help
Warm regards from Germany
Florian

I would not waste time using AI 3D tools to accomplish this effect. It is 1 point perspective. Start with your front text, establish a horizon line and vanishing point, scale and duplicate the text using the vanishing point as your center of scaling, then connect the points to create the "extruded effect" between the to sets of text. You can outline the text to accomplish this.
For the reflected text, as John suggested, duplicate your text and distort it. Read about "Envelope Distortion" meshes. These will keep your distorted text fully editable, if that is a concern.
Have fun learning Illustrator.

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 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.
Roland

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.

How to create shiny/mirror effect with a background.

HI there we have been trying to create a shiny effect and
found the following tutorial.
http://www.fireworkszone.com/redirectionNbClicks.php?root=2&idLogiciel=4&idTutorial=371
The only problem we have is that we have a textured
background and the tutorial talks about having a colored background
with not texture.
When we create the shiny effect you can see the white or
black that fades.
Any suggestions?.

To create a user defined member, in the Hierarchy editor on the bottom right of the screen there is an add buton, if you click on it, you will get a list. Included in the list are user defined child and user defined sibling. These create user defined members. Don't worry that the binding says unspecified. When you save the hierarchy, it will change it will change to be a text value equal to the name you gave the member. To get the members you want to put under that member, I find it easiest to create a Dimension element that has filtering to get select the I need for example if I create a user defined member called diet drinks. I'll create a Dimension member called diet skus that has a filter to select skus where the alias contains the word diet. I'll put that member under my diet drinks member. Whil it might be a little late for you. The Essbase Studio book I'm working on will be available late this week. It has examples of what you are asking about.

How to create a ripple effect on grid

Hello,
I'm trying to distort a standard 20x20 line grid to make it look as if it has a ripple running through it. I've tried putting the grid into photoshop and using various filters but they don't seem to work. Also the liquify tool in photoshop just created messy results. I want it to have a basic 3 dimensional look. Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Ben

Monika,
I'm trying to recreate the 3D effect of an object being dropped into water. However instead of using a solid vector, I'm trying to recreate the effect within a grid of lines. Maybe the image I uploaded above would help explain it better?
The lines in the grid need to bend and distort so that it looks as if the ripple is going through the grid.
The only thing I've done so far is create a 3d model of a ripple and use the wire frame view but when looking at it from above the lines don't create the ripple effect as you can see in the below image:
Does this make more sense now?

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 a Custom Effect?

First of all, I'm sorry, if I make any mistakes writing this post! I actually am German!
I would like to know how I can alter the Animation Presets in AE CS5, that are quite messy because they just are a collection of effects, into the much more organised and nicer Custom Effects like Andrew Kramer (from Video Copilot) has on his website for free download.
I already tried out a tutorial from aetuts+ ("Create Your Own Custom Effects!"), but it just didn't work and told me it couldn't apply my effect when I runned the script (maybe because it actually was written for AE CS4).
So my question is: Is there an easy way to organize the effects and expressions from an ordinary preset to make the preset friendlier to use? And even if it's not easy, is there a way at all?
I thank you in advance and hope you can help me!

(As always: Sorry for mistakes! )

[...] Creating a true plug-in requires knowledge of programming and a good understanding of the AE SDK (Software Development Kit). [...] I think you're looking for some help with scripts, which can look like a plug-in. Some more details about your project will be helpful. [...]
Mylenium schrieb:
[...] You can store a ton of things in a simple animation preset, so whether or not you turn them into "custom" effects is not of much consequence in the end. [...]
I might have asked my question badly so I want to say some more things about it:
I do not want to create a real plug-in like Andrew Kramer's "Action Essentials" for example. Something like his little presets you can download with his projects like the first lightsaber "plug-in" he made was what I thought about. (It might actually be a bad example, because it could have involved some serious programming, but I'm refering more to the way, it is customized than the way it functions.)
I just want to have one panel (like each individual built-in effect) that controls the effects. I find it really annoying and messy to have to change the values from sliders that are all in their own panel. So I'm not looking to programming any plug-in, just to organizing a preset in a way, it becomes more comfortable to use.
Mylenium schrieb:
[...] It's more likely a language isue. [...]
That's really bad, because that tutorial trained exactly what I wanted! But thank you for the advice!
Mylenium schrieb:
[...] I really should think that users have better things to do than waste
their time with such toyish stuff, but well, I guess some have too much
time to spare... [...]
You're right, it's a waste of time to make things more comfortable to use! Imagine After Effects would have a nice interface which by the way also looks kind of cool!
