Learning music videos effects

Speed up the clip and then use the Posterize Time effect.

3d effect seen in music videos

I do not own shake but i would like to know if it is the shake software used in music videos where the subject freezes and the camera rotates giving a 3d effect. I have seen it on bon jovi's it's my life and rascal flatts these days.
If anyone could give me some insight on how this effect is done please let me know.
thanx

More importantly, Shake won't invent pixel data that wasn't there to begin with. Shake's strength is in compositing - taking multiple sources of video and grahics and blending them into one seamless piece. But it doesn't specialize in creating those elements. For that, you need to use in camera effects, a 3d modeling/animation program, or Photoshop.
Shake is a complex program with a steep learning curve. Not to sound snotty, but if it's a tool you really need in your workflow, you'll already know what it does and why you want to use it. Of course, there's no harm in checking it out to learn and explore it.

Adobe After Effects CS6: Learn by Video

NOTE: This question is directed to Todd Kopriva.
Hi Todd,
I figured this is a good way to get in contact with you, seeing how you are quite active in this forum.
This is regarding to the Adobe After Effects CS6: Learn by Video that you were a part of with Angie Taylor.
I have encountered a problem opening the .aep files in the "Project_Files" folder, I was prompted with the following error message "After Effects warning: 9 files are missing since you last saved this project."
When I try finding the missing images, it is not found in the folder or disc. Due to this problem, I cannot make full use of the video lessons.
I was wondering if you still have the images to the files in this video, and if so, would you kindly send it my way? I would be very grateful of your help.
Thank you!

Will After Effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video?

Will after effect work well for adding subtitles to a music video? Or is there an easier Adobe product I should use?

Is there a way to protect music and video after a change is made to the beginning of a finished movie so as not to throw off the already completed music and video timeline?
If you are referring to music in the "floating" green background, then no. It will automatically readjust itself to the start of your project each time new material is added to the beginning of your project. On the other hand, you can add your music to a clip rather than a background and this audio you can "pin" to a clip so that it remains in the same position relative to the clip and any following clips which it may overlap.

Strobing effect in Music Videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6j4f8cHBIM&list=ALHTd1VmZQRNptgo4ed0biMPKtTTpYcIE_&index=6 &feature=plcp
Hello All
I have seen this effects numerous times in music videos and TV commercials where 2 images very quickly alternate. I recreated the effect by making hold keyframes with 0 and 100 opacity values on the top layer.
At about 53 seconds into the video the strobing sequence is using 3 different clips. I was wondering is there an expression that can do this. Also in the music video the strobing APPEARS to be in sync with drums, so I was thinking that there must be keyframes created by an audio amplitude setting in a plug-in like BeatReactor or SoundKeys.
I'm also assuming that this effect would be best done in AE instead of Premiere maybe I'm wrong and it is just one frame of video showing on two or three different layers in Premiere
Would love to know the various ways this effect could be achieved and which you consider the method to use.
Thanks in Advance
On a Mac CS5.5 OS 10.6.8

You are aware that there is a Strobe effect in AE, I hope, and that likewise, the Blend effect can avoid adding tons of layers.... Can't see your video due to copyright restrictions here in Germany, but I'm sure using these 2 effects may help a lot. For audio (and markers) triggering, refer to this:

Music Video Flicker Effect

I would like to add a Flicker or Twitch Effect to my music videos, it looks like ( 1 ) still image (possibly) or (1 ) video image flickering or flashing overtop another image real fast any thoughts. If i need a plug-in any suggestions would be great. I am using Final Cut Pro X

If I understand your question correctly, just simply cut back and forth between the images you want to use for the Strobe/Flicker effect. Cut the video/image down to just a few frames or so, depends on how fast you want it.

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.”

What video effect did they use in this music video?

What video effect did they use in T-Pain's - Best Love Music Video
Here is the music video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wmD3M-BfVo
You can tell there is a certain effect that they applied to it. It could be a camera tracker or a camera smoother. I just plainly don't know at this point. I would like to "try" and recreate it if I could with your help.
Thanks in advance.

That's simple parralax animation to give the illusion that the camera would be very close to the talent while keeping the background in frame. Nothing magic there, given that all the backgrounds are artificial and have been added in post, anyway.

Is it usefull to buy Final Cut Pro X for making music video's or not?

Right now I'm using iMovie 11. I can put the audio an the video togheter and stuff but thats kinda it... So if I wan't to use more effects and stuff should I buy this?

I think FCPX is very good for short-form work like music videos, and definitely a big upgrade to iMovie. Additionally, the interface is similar so you'd have less of a learning curve.
There's a ton of hidden power though, and you probably would need to follow some tutorials and/or read instructional material in order to really be able to use the software efficiently, and understand what it has to offer. Many people have given high praise to Ripple Training; there's also some free training available at: http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro-x-tutorial/ that can get your feet wet, so to speak. And I know Mr. Wolsky is working on a book that would be great to have, once it comes out.
At the moment, there are still a bunch of bugs that need to be ironed out, which you can read about on this forum. If you are willing to deal with a beta-quality product that has lots of potential, I'd say go for it. The most important thing to remember is to have a way of backing up your projects so that in the event you are hit with the worst of the bugs, you can still recover work.

First project completed with FCPX Music Video

I just finished up my first project with FCPX
Its a music video for one of my songs.
I shot and edited the video myself with the help of wife and daughter. The video has since gone off to
a video production house, to transfer to broadcast format for here in Australia (digital beta) and its on its way to TV stations for broadcast.
I have very very little experience with video, and had only just gotten FCPX a couple of weeks before along with
the new canon hfs 20 which i used to shoot the video. It was a whirlwind learning curve 8).
I learned plenty about what not to do the next time I make one. 8)
I got some really great help here on the forum and wanted to say thanks, I wouldnt have been able to do it without it.
www.ozlandmusic.com
is my website where you can see the video.
I have no previous experience as I said with video editing, before FCPX and found the process reasonably intuitive.
It was great to be able to sync the video and audio together..and the effects in FCPX were easy to use, as was keyframing which
i didnt even know existed a couple of weeks back 8)
I really like the product. I am happy with how the video turned out, and I am looking forward to making a better one next time.
Again thanks for the help
cheers
Wiz

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
re first bit of video editing...8)
well, I had used iMovie a couple of times to transfer VHS tapes to DVD and sony home studio once about 4 years ago, and I used windows movie maker once.... but I had never done any "editing" so I take your comment as a compliment.
I literally have no more experience than that. I guess its a testament to how easy FCPX is to use for someone new. I found the things like keyframing, very intuitive, and I have a strong audio background (logic, cubase, sonar etc) and have run a recording studio for many years. So I applied the same sort of techniques to video ediiting, eg look at other peoples work, and try and work out how they do what they do, and then try and duplicate it. There are a wealth of training videos available, and I watched a heap of those, within the first couple of weeks (you tube videos) about how to do things like keyframing, color correction, effects, transform etc.
I certainly am not trying to portray myself as a newbie, whilst secretly having years of experience. I honestly only just started and I hope you can take me at face value.
Just wanted to clear that up.
Again thanks everyone for your support and well wishes. Perhaps some day I can repay some of that to the group.
cheers

Which codec to choose for a music video edit with this setup?

I am using a new camera (for me that is) a Panasonic Hdc Sd700 and have shot a music video with two of these cameras. I am using Clipwrap to encode and the options as far as I can see are:
Apple Intermediate Codec (Aic)
Apple ProRes 422
Apple Prores 422 HQ.
I am going to use some effects so there will be several tracks of video to deal with. I have an external esata drive and another external FW800 drive.
I am working on a laptop (Macbook Pro) with these specs: 4 Gb Ram, 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Is 422 HQ to much too handle for this machine?
I still have much to learn .....

Is 422 HQ to much too handle for this machine?
It's overkill anyway, just based on the camera you are using. Regular ProRes or ProRes LT will be fine.
Don't use Apple Intermediate.

Could someone please tell me what program can do this type of video effects

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4wu1nungdomskulen-modern-drummermusic
i been using garageband for audio and would like to learn to do some video to go along with my recordings. thank you for any info.

Oh boy! Good luck if you want go to there.
This isn't the sort of video you can produce with imovie08, and it depends how much you are willing to learn and how much of a compromise you are willing to make. In some ways the video is quite crude (something to an extent which is acceptable with music videos) but in other ways is quite complex. The video you posted could likely be achieved with final cut and a number of extras and a few other applications to boot.
Producing a video like that is well beyond me, not so much that I couldn't reproduce each effect one by one but because the time to do so for the whole sequence would be simply outside my timescale, not to mention some of the footage will have needed to be taken in a studio type setting for which I simply don't have the facilities.
I do however like to waste hours of my time making 20 second intros in final cut to some of my home movies which I suppose many would consider corny and believe me this sort of project will take hours for a few seconds of finished material. I haven't got the resources to buy and learn some of the tools that would simplify things to a certain extent and spend days sometimes with workarounds such as modifying and even creating individual frames in photoshop and capturing screenshots from itunes visualiser and trawling the internet for images and stock video clips, removing backgrounds with instant alpha in preview and all sorts of things.
Forgive me if I've got you wrong but I'm assuming that since you need to ask the question you are a novice in the world of video, I'm not anything more than a hobbyist myself but I've spent years learning what I've learned and I'm still no more than a hobbyist. I'm not trying to put you off, if your anything like me you'll enjoy learning but I think you probably underestimate the work involved in such projects.

I would like to know how to put my .mp4 music videos into the .....

Hello
I finally learned how to turn my music videos into a format that will play on my ipod and I am excited as **** about the whole thing. My one problem is I can't seem to put the music videos into the music video section. I would like to put my music videos in the music video section and I plan on making some of my favorite movies into .mp4 and keep them in the movies section. I would also like to know if I can have different folders for my movies? probably not eh? I guess they might just have to be in one big pile. That's ok I guess. So what's with the music video section? It would be nice to put them there. I guess while I am waiting for a response I am just going to convert the music videos and put them in the movies section..
Also I would like to share what program I am using to convert the files .. it's called
" WinAVI iPod/PSP/3GP/MP4 Video Converter "
And it works great! Someone on my Facebook account told me about it. I tried to ask people here what I should use but I don't think I got a straight answer ( either that or I am mildly ******** or something )
One more question. How to I put my pictures into separate folders on my ipod?
Aaron

Hi everyone !
please forget about the pictures question because I figured that out ok !!
I just need to know if it is possible to put my .mp4 music videos in the music video section of iTunes and my iPod. Like I said I want to just put full length movies in the movie section. And I would like to have my movies in maybe separate folders like I said. One for Anime, One for Animation ect ect ..
ALSO I am wondering can I make my Windows Media Player Classic the default for .mp4 files? I tried to do that but it was giving me some weird error message
when I try and make it the default for .mp4 I get this message
" Windows Media Player Classic does not have enough privileges to change file formats. Please click on " Modify " button To Get Administrator rights. "
Does this mean that only Apple programs should be used to view these files?

Timeline won't render in Premiere Elements 12 (and music video editing advice)

I have a section of video I'm editing that won't render. I've read some similar threads but still have a question about how I can edit the clips to 'force' a render.
I'm running PE 12 on a Core i3 laptop running Windows 8, so not a huge amount of processing power. I don't have an orange line above the timeline over these clips and I understand PE has decided that it's already giving me the best possible preview quality and doesn't need to render this section. However, it's four quick edits in time to some music and when I preview it back my computer clearly can't process the video and audio fast enough because I get very jerky video so I can't verify that the cuts are perfectly aligned to the drum beats.
I've been exporting the whole four minutes just to review about five seconds of video in the middle to make sure it's synched, and this is getting really frustrating as I'm having to make frame by frame adjustments to improve the sync.
Is there anything I can do to each clip, like adjust an image setting, to force PE to give me an orange line and want to render this section?
Just as an aside to anyone who edits music video type clips - if you're making, say, four quick cuts to four drum beats in a bar, do you find the audio/visual sync works best if the cut is on the frame the drum beat attack starts on, or does it seem more natural if it's one or two frames after the initial attack so it's 'mid drum beat'? I'm tending to find just after the initial attack looks/sounds better for me - but maybe that's something to do with the delay in my PC processing the frame!
Thanks for any advice,
Chris.

Chris
Please excuse the questions, but I did not want to take anything for granted...are you sure that you are looking above the Timeline content for the render indicator line? Assuming that you are OK with that.....
Are the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar placed so that they span the entire content of the Timeline, including this five second content which you say cannot be rendered. Remember rendering does not fix problems, rather it is a preview that helps you to realize that a problem exists sooner than later. Consequently, please confirm if an orange line persists over that five second content even if you press the Render key above the Timeline.
Have you expanded the Timeline content to the maximum with the Zoom Out Zoom In Slider above the Timeline get the best look at the content on the Timeline in contrast to get the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor?
Have you gone to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and set the Audio Display Format to Milliseconds if you are involved in audio edits?
Have you been nudging audio in sync with video using shortcuts, such as...
As you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 1 frame nudge)
As you hold down the Shift+Alt keys of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once (one tap = 5 frames nudge)
I would suggest that exploration and experimentation are the best tools with which to work to achieve a specific effect for your specific
situation.
Please review and then let us know if any of the above targets your questions about your workflow.
Thank you.
