Lifecam VX-1000 'comic' video effects no longer w...

I have no dashboard (looked at past posts) and i definitelyhave the 'latest' drivers for my vx-1000. (3.22)
The comic effects work if i have the webcam on without being in a skype conversation.
But when I activate the effects during a skype call they do NOT work at all.
The other video properties, reverse, low light, backlit etc still work but NOT the funny faces big eyes square face bunny ears etc.
They used to work in skype but some update or other has disabled them.
I am using windows7 professional. and skype 6.21
How do I get them to work again please

The dashboard effects with LifeCam webcams have been disabled on Skype long time ago. The last Skype version with support for dashboard effects was Skype 6.1 version.

Video effects for a horror/thriller trailer

I'm working on recutting a trailer as a different genre and I was wondering how to do a couple of effects. How do you do the white flash on the screen(not a dip to white transition but in the middle of the clip) and the flash that shows a negative of the original image like you see in some horror/thriller trailers?

Hi owiseone,
Here's how I would construct the effect.
Create the "negative image" effect.
Apply the Invert effect: Video Effects > Channel > Invert
Try different Channel Options. I chose "Lightness."
Desaturate the colors on the negative image.
Apply a Fast Color Corrector
Take Saturation down to 0.
Adjust the Input Levels slider to taste
Make the effect flash on and off with the original clip by using the Strobe effect, or by manually adding the effect to Add Edits.
First, do the following
Copy paste the clip to V2.
Remove effects from the clip on V1.
Do either of the following to the clip on V2:
Apply the Strobe Light effect: Video Effects > Stylize > Strobe Light and adjust parameters to taste.
With the Razor tool or the Add Edit keyboard shortcut, create splices that are several frames long, create them either the same length, or random durations. Delete portions of the clip between the add edits.
Play back the effect and adjust parameters until you're happy with the effect.
Set up a range to play In to Out
Enable Loop Playback
Adjust parameters in any of the effects as they play In to Out.
Hope that helps!

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:

How do you preview the video effects?

Hi,
I am just wondering how to preview the video effects in Premiere Pro without having to add them to the timeline to view them. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Kerri

Kerri,
Much of where a Transition is positioned will depend on your Clips, themselves. Here's another topic for your "Autumn Reading List" - Handles.
The understanding of these will go a very long way to understanding the placement and operation of Transitions.
Here's a short bit on Handles, but the manual (if they still have those) and the Help files will give you a lot more info.
Initially, Handles are a bit of an abstract concept, but once you get it, you'll fully understand some of the behavior of Transitions. Well worth reading.
Good luck,
Hunt

Clip video effects suddenly aren't working on already-exported project!

I exported an iMovie 11 project to iTunes, and then realized I didn't apply color changes to it. I went back into iMovie, then trimmed a clip and it gave me the usual "you have edited your project, you'll have to finalize it again", or whatever it usually says. But then I went to edit the video effects, and no results are showing in the viewer...?

Reboot. For some reason, I had experienced a loss of audio in '11 on a couple of PROJECTS even though I clearly saw the streams still there as welll as the transition effects and after a reboot, they worked again. Plus, check your drive space. Depending on how long the video is, it may be taking up too much space therefore hosing up the memory.
I hope that helps.

Photo Booth Comic Book effect weirdness.

When I use the Comic book effect in Photo Booth, the black lines turn white in the saved image.
The effect displays properly live and saves properly when taking video, but when taking a picture, black lines turn white. Black dot tone stays black and actually black objects remain black, but linework created by the effect saves as white.
Any clues?

Thank you for your response... but I've already thought about my clothes' color or background color or even light... if it's too bright or too dim... but nothing seems to fix the bad effect... I've tried bright light, not so bright, incandescent, fluorescent, light colored clothes, dark clothes! nothing helps, I've repaired permissions, I think I've even "uninstalled" photobooth and then got it back from the CD... it is just defective... I kinda hate this cause comic book effect is one of my favorites!... I wish someone else could help... I know I'm not the only one with this kind of prob cause I read this very same problem on yahoo answers...

Video Effects Problems

When I go through my video effects and preview them I get white lines, white fragments (blocky), and or the whole screen turns white. When I click on the first effect it works fine and I can adjust the settings but when I go to the next one, thats when video turns bad. I have to click out of video effects to reset the image. This problem just started for me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem.
Also, I recently installed FCE 4. Would this have anything to do with it. Since installing FCE 4 my rendering time has slowed way down in iMovie 06.
Thanks.

T -
I get a similar problem when I preview effects. I just assumed this was some kind of result of max-ing out on processing the preview, so I usually just click onto some other effect outside of the Quartz composer and then click back in and it's fine. I wouldn't worry about it, unless what I suggest won't work. I found this when I was looking to find out why adding video effects takes so long to process. It looks like video is just processor-intensive, any way you look at it.
good luck.....

Transfer from FCP to Motion with video effect

I am trying to transfer a clip from fcp that has a video effect (matte) wehn I open it in motion the matte is no longer there, how to I transfer the clip into motion with the effect still intacted?

None of your effects will carry over to Motion. Speed changes, color corrections, keys, etc... Why? See this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1375867&#1375867
You can do as avidvid says and export to "fix" your effects then bring the file back in, but that won't carry the alpha over...

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.)

Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?

There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

After I downloaded ios 6, my videos are no longer in my video playlists on my phone or ipod touch. How do I get them back?

How come my videos are no longer in my playlists after downloading ios6 to my iphone 4s and ipod touch?

Hey there Trishna51,
It sounds like you are seeing your photos grouped together by date, rather than the view you are used to seeing. From what you are describing, it seems like you are seeing either the Moments, or Collections view in the photos app. You can switch to the Camera Roll view in Albums located at the bottom of the Photos window:

Transition effect no longer working

Hello,
I have searched all over, and have found no one to have the same exact issue.
Not so long ago I was editing a movie using multiple camera angles and an audio source from one of the angles. Did a lot of gradient transitions. Worked amazing.
Fast forward a week later working on new project and the effect no longer works. I tried everything. I went back to the original project where it did worked. The exisiting Gradient Transitions work, but not if I add a new one. This tell me something may be wrong with the file itself. Or, an option is not enabled in the program. Other affects DO work however.
TL:DR,
Garident Image effect no longet works. Do I need to reinstall Final Cut Pro X? Do I need to re-download the transition file? Where can it be found online?

I get Sorry but this video is no longer available error when I try to play any video on the Yahoo website. The lead in commercial play but as soon as the desired video is supposed to start the error appears. I can go to youtube, Facebook, and other sites and play videos.
Thanks your your help and concideration

Perehaps their server was down? Just tried it on my 10.7.3 MBP and it worked fine. Make sure your flash plugin is up to date and you should be good.

Clip optimization caused video to no longer play.

I wanted to speed up a certain clip, and imovie told me i needed to optimize it in order to fast forward. I did so, but then the video would no longer play on the main screen. It wont play in full screen either. The audio works fine, but no longer any video. what is going on, and how to i get my already edited video to play again?
ariel

Thanks for the response WebOSfan. The file type is .3g2. I had a few .m4v files on there also. I took your advice and moved everything and put it back but had no luck. I then converted the .m4v files via itunes and they do all play now. I haven't tried the .3g2 files yet. I will post an update once I give it a try.
