I really like this photo and wondered how the designer pulled this off!
Thanks

I am having dark blurred light ghosting effect on my imac screen. Does anyone experience this?

I am having dark blurred light ghosting effect on my imac screen. Does anyone experience this?

When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which iMac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
***This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct solutions.***
Can you post a picture of your problem? Sometimes, that helps. You did not mention where this ghosting effect takes place? Startup? Finder? Browser?

Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

You probably don't really need 1080 at 60 for your finished projects but since you're just starting out with Motion, you need to lower your expectations. A long way. 1080 is about 2 million pixels per frame, DV is only about 400,000. That's not just five times as many pixels for the Mac to track; everything in video is exponential.
Explore the training tutorials available by Mark Spencer. You will get an idea of how his super powerful machine reacts with the software.
Adding a light roughly doubles the processing time over flat scenes. Two lights increases processing again. Reflections require processing the lights and then calculating the reflections so add another quarter of the time required for flat scenes. Add camera movement, motion blur, and depth of field and you need exponentially more processing time for every frame. The preload of renders into RAM is one of the cooler features of Motion, as comapred to After Effects, but that takes tons of time, to.
Try working in ye olde DV resolution for a few days. Get to know the software's limitations and what gets imposed by your Macintosh. Step up to 720p/30 and see how things slow down.

Black window when revising Ken Burns effects on photos

Can someone help overcome the black preview window when I try to revise settings for Ken Burns effects on photos in the timeline?
Many thx!
iBook 14 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Are you trying to edit a previously imported image
rendered by the Ken Burns Effect? If so, there's an
iMovie bug that prevents you from updating the clip
when you empty the iMovie trash. It also turns the
preview black.

Yes, and thank you for the link to the thread. Since there are still varying results, I was hoping that Apple had published a patch or announced a new version that fixed this bug that is now very old. Fyi, my computer won't download the latest version, but my 'updater' says one exists.
Best regards.

How to add effects to Photo Booth?

Last night I was playing around in Quartz Composer and figured out, that you can use the iSight camera as an image input. I added some effects and my composition would make a nice video chat effect in Photo Booth.
But how can I add my .qtz movie to Photo Booth?
Dragging it to where you drag your custom backgrounds doesnt get me very far.
Somewhere must be a folder with all the effects used, or?
Any suggestions, experiences, thoughts are welcome,
Jan

Okay, I figured out how to get my clips running and how to name them.
Pretty cool so far.
My last question is: Where can I adjust how many effect pages will show up in Photo Booth?
Since my last "more Photo Booth effects" installation i have additional 3 pages of effects.
But when I add some of my effects, Photo Booth doesnt auto-add a 4th effect page. Instead of that the last effect (in alphabetical order) wont show up any more.
Anybody an idea?
Thanks, Jan

Applying Photo Booth effects to photos taken in another application?

Is it possible to apply the Photo Booth effects to photos that were taken outside of the Photo Booth application? For example, I have some shots in my iPhoto library that I'd love to apply one of the Photo Booth effects to. I can't see an option for doing this in the Photo Booth menus or help section.

I do not have a new iMac G5 (iSight), so I do not have Photo Booth either. However, looking at Apple's new iMac pages and the Photo Booth 1.0 Help info leads me to believe that Photo Booth is an application for making snapshots rather than for editing existing images.
Check Photo Booth > Help on your iMac. If it does not tell you about editing existing images, you likely cannot do so.
Depending upon your experience level, image editor apps like PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements can add the effects to your existing photos. Adding effects to existing images will require some effort, but it can be done. Unless your version of iPhoto is one of the very early ones, you can even set your iPhoto > General preferences to open your existing iPhoto images in your image editor app for easy access and editing from within iPhoto.
Because Photo Booth is only available with the iMac G5 (iSight) computer, you may find more help from Photo Booth users in iMac Discussions.

Ken Burns effect causing photos to show static

As the subject line suggests I am getting a sizzle effect, like sparkling pixel static across my photos when the Ken Burns zoom is in progress. It is uniform across the entirety of the photo. THis is in imovie hd 6.0.4 on my new imac 21.5 with system 10.6.4 These are photos taken with 12mp dsl camera and I notice some other older photos taken with 4mp camera point and shoot do not show this distraction. Something up with the rendering of high res stills ? THis does not happen in Ilife 09's imovie.
Thanks for shedding any light on this anyone.

I had the same problem with iMovie 9. I found a solution that worked for me at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12544852&#12544852

How do i fix light leaks in my photos?

i have a light leak in my camera and my last roll of film has come out with lots of red stripes over the images, is there a plugin i can use for aperture to repair the photos? or any other suggestions would be great! thank you

If you find a way to fix it by brushing in a curves adjustment that reduces the remand perhaps increase the contrast along the red stripes, you can save the adjustment as a preset. For photos taken with the same lens or zoom the light leak pattern will probably the same, so you start with the same preset.
To save an adjustment use the "effects" menu in the Adjustment panel:

How to get this effect? (photo included)

I want to create on my photos that effect that is a sort of red, or purple glow. Its often used and its something i cant find how to do it.
http://www.andimayr.de/pictures/people/pl_17.jpg
That is an example.
Thanks!

I've always loved making effects like this using a gradient and layer blending options.
1. Start with your image. Try keeping the original colors, or desaturate the original image!
2. Make a new layer and apply a gradient with as many color choices as you want. (Try 2 colors, 3 colors, 8 colors, or just one color that fades into transparency)
3. Change the Blending Option for the gradient layer to something like Screen, or Color, or Soft Light. Also, try adjusting the opacity of the gradient layer to make the effect more or less pronounced.
Screen, Opacity: 100%
Screen, Opacity: 50%
Soft Light, Opacity: 50%
I hope this helps. I'm sure there are many other ways of achieving similar effects, this is just a favorite of mine.
The example you posted has a very subtle use of colorization, so play around with the opacity and blending options between the layers until you find something you like!
Cheers,
Michael.

How to achieve antique/vintage effect.

HI,
I'm looking to achieve a photo effect that I've seen on what I think is a album cover.
The project I'm working on (at Uni) is a natural burial site but I want my image to have a sense of death in the atmosphere, rather than just using 'death' images.
I've looked at some Actions but I can't get anything like the attatched.
First image is what I want to achieve. Second image is what I have (it's a farmland Panorama, 1200mm long x 280mm high). I've also applied several 'grunge' effects but this just made it look blurry.
Thank You

For the ground I suppose a Black & White Layer set to Blending Mode Overlay and a Hue/Saturation Layer to desaturate somewhat may suffice.
As for the sky you might need to insert a whole other image of clouds.
Which you could edit with a Curves Layer for brightness and an Adjustment Map Layer (set to Color possibly) to emulate the color shifting between the lighter and darker regions.
Edit:
As for the additional »dirt« a multiplying layer with Clouds/Difference Clouds applied might work.

I need to do non-constrained crops for Ken Burns effect in photo slide show

I am making photo slide shows in imovie '09. I understand the Ken Burns effect and how to set a start and an end point. I want to use the effect on vertical or portrait mode photos. i would like to have the entire photo displayed in portrait mode and have it zoom in a bit. The problem is The start and end points seem to only be horizontal or landscape mode. I can't ever get the entire image selected. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Tim

You need to add the letterbox (black space) in another application. iMovie's Ken Burns effect will not do it for you. You can do it in Photoshop if you like.
However, there is a way to do it in Automator, and you can do hundreds of vertical photos very quickly. That is the way I do it.
Here is more detail:
There is also a quick way to pad your images without using Photoshop. This method will pad hundreds of images in just a few seconds.
You do it with a tool that comes with OS/X called Automator. It should be in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Automator is basically a workflow tool. It allows you to string together commands and actions into a workflow and then execute the entire sequence at once. If you have Snow Leopard, you can even add these workflows to your contextual menus that come up when you right-click.
There are many workflows that would work to pad your images. Here is an example:
In Automator, start a photo workflow and drag the following actions into the workflow from the Action palettes on the left.
You should have something like:
1)Ask for Photos (You must select one or more photos and hit Select - you can make this easier by putting them in an album beforehand)
2) Copy Finder Items (give it a folder to copy to- so you can find them easily)
3) Pad Images. (put a check mark in "scale image before padding" Pick the pixel dimensions of your project...like 640x480 or 960x540. or 1920x1080
Hit Run and a dialog box will come up asking you to select photos. When you are finished, press SELECT and the Automator script will keep running.
Then at the end you should have padded images in the folder you created in step 2.

Remove ken burns effect from photos in iMovie HD

I am trying to burn iphotos slideshows to DVD like I used to do before newer versions stopped supporting iDVD. I was advised on this board to use iMovie HD and it seems to be working and I am pleased with the integration with iDVD. But when I used the ken burns effect on some of my slides I got a shimmering effect. So I tried to get rid of it. In iMovie HD, you are supposed to slect the media tab and click on "show Photo settings" This gives you a window where you can adjust the Kne Burns setting or uncheck the box. When I uncheck the box, nothing happens. Whther I press "update" or not, the effect is still there. This is a 1000-slide project. I hope I don't have to start over.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the response, butt.. this is iMovieHD (or version 6). There is no crop or fit tool in this version (as far as I can tell). There is a "crop" choice in the Edit pulldown menu, but I think that's for clips. And this verison doesn't give you boxes for the Ken Burns effect. These things are in later versions of iMOvie, but those versions don't integrate as well with iDVD which is most important to me.
