Looking for a transition

Hi guys and girls.
I am looking for the transition found on the hit show "Top Gear"
It is like a dip to color dissolve with the addition of an iris dissolve.
So the outgoing clip fades from the edges with a black iris to the centre then the incoming clip does the opposite.
Is this an out of the box transition at all?
I have a huge array of commercial flugins but can't find it anywhere.

ok we are getting somewhere now. Thanks guys. In Transitions>Quicktime>Iris I still need it to be much softer. It's to hard. Can the opacity or the edges be adjusted? The radio button "Soft Edges" seems to do nothing.

Looking for better "transitions" plug ins

Hi, I just bought the Photoshop elements and premiere Elements 9 package. Problem is that I am a simple guy who makes a lot of video movies for my work and I just want a very simple "fade in" type transitions to merge my video clips. The ones supplied are to "busy" and are a distraction in my humble opinion. I didn't feel I should have to Up grade or purchase this one simple fade or "cross fade" after spending my $150.00 I did Google free transitions and found the Burgers page that had exactly the transition I was looking for. http://http://www.burgers-transition-site.de/downloads/transitions/transitioncrossfade.htm l
I down loaded it and tried to add it to my existing library of transitions but it couldn't read the codex? How can I get this simple transition without spend more money? Thank you, Greg McCord

The standard disslove or cross fade that comes with PE9 I would thought would achieve what you want.
You can either have it before or after the break line or equally straddling it.
Simply insert a break line and just drag the effect to the break line.
There is another way that you don't need any 'effects' but gives you complete control of the transition.
When you want the audio to fade differently to the video I put a break in the video and drag the after part up to the second video track and drag it a little earlier by the length of the fade or disslove.
Then right clicking on the clip I select fade in and out on the top track and modify the yellow lines in the tracks to get the right timing.
Example. You want to remove a complete sentence in an interview. You insert a dots in the lower audio yellow line and quickly fade out the audio before the transition starts to remove the first word of the unwanted sentence but leave a bit of video. Then dissolve or wipe to the next sentence to signify that you have deleted something rather than have a jump cut.
If you look at some of my finished timelines it looks like a castle with every scene alternating on tracks 1 & 2.

Looking for specific transitions.

I want to 1) fly text in from the left, and 2) spin an image (preferable with it growing from a point at the same time). I know about animated text, but CS 5.5 has a very large list of possible text animations, and none of them has a name that suggests flying text in from the left. The user manual doesn't tell me anything beyond getting to that list of animations. It leaves me to try every single animation until I find the one I want. I know I can spin an image--the lynda.com course shows an image spinning, but doesn't say anything about how to get that effect.

I would recommend using the Effects workspace because you'll have both the timelines of the slide and the effects visible in that case. I offered you some links about Effects in your other thread. For this use case, which needs a motion effect, have a look at the one about creating and using custom effects to learn how to edit a motion path.

PS Sorry, maybe Effects workspace is not yet available in 5.5, I'm not totally sure.

Looking for downloadable transitions maybe even effects?

Im curious if there are any downloadable transitions effects for i-movie 5.0.2?
i couldnt find any, but maybe someone out there knows a link to some?
(you sure helped me break upp large movies so i could put them in, maybe this will work too.)

Hi Agent_m4 - GeeThree have several plugin packages that include many transitions:

They are not particularly cheap, but they are good.
cf/x also have some useful, cheap plugins:

Looking for cool transition

Hey - check out -->
http://ckdesigns.cc/
The site uses a really cool transition between images. Anyone
know what component they use to accomplish this? Or if there's an
ActionScript snippet I can use to achieve a similar effect?
Thanks!

(God, did I butcher that post) LOL!
I'll try again...
You CAN search for several pixelating-style transitions like
that online if you don't want to (or know how to) create them
yourself.

Looking for funny clapperboard transition

Hey everyone...
I'm looking for a transition that you see all the time in comedy, especially when they fake outtakes. It's where you hear the sound effect of a clapper board, accompanied by a flash of light and a beep. I have a series of outtakes that I'm putting together and I think this would be a fun little touch.
Anyone know where I can get such a thing, or how to make it from scratch in '08?
Thanks!

unfortunateley, iM08/09 comes 'as is' - no additional effects etc. avail.
so, we have to built that effect on our own:
create in any app a plain white jpeg .. add to your iPhoto Library.
add still after clip
add a VERY fast disolve
search iNet for a free 'clapper board' sound and add to transition
shorten white pic to a few frames..

Looking for a specific transition

I'm looking for a specific transition - I have an image layer of a credit card, that starts out only showing the thin edge, then flips out to reveal the flat surface of the card. Closest I could find in FC was 3D Spinback.
Can you recommend a good source of FC transitions, free or paid? One that shows previews would be especially good.

I thought you might have this issue, and I had meant to point out a problem with your workflow, but it slipped my mind.
The file you're working with is a .psd, and it contains 1 layer, rather than being a flattened image. So what's happening is that when you drop the file into the Sequence it becomes a Nested Item.
That's why when you double click it, it opens in its own sequence, constrained to its own dimensions. When you add the basic 3d filter, you are then animating it in that sequence, rather than the main sequence.
Without going back to Photoshop, the easiest fix is to
1. Cut the effect from the clip.
2. Go back to the main sequence and Option Double Click the clip. You are now accessing the master clip, rather than its subclip which is the single .psd layer.
3. Paste the filter. I believe your keyframed motion will be retained, and the clip will now rotate in the main sequence without cropping.
4. Remember from here on that to access the filter again you have to Option Double Click the layer.

Looking for transitions

Hi there,
Could anyone tell me where I could get (to buy or free) transitions to include in a FCP project
I am looking for transitions that I did not find in the FCP effects (for example curtains, dorway, puzzle and others)
Thanks in advance

Sorry...on the left hand side there is a button for FCP FILTERS.... here's that link:

Looking for "video glitch" transition effect

I'm looking for a (cheap?) way to create an effect similar to a tape glitch / cheap switcher where the video image momentarily loses horizontal or vertical sync, you get electronic noise on the screen, then it returns to normal.
Dual G5; FCP 5; DVD Studio Pro 4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) JVC SR-GS30 deck, DVX-100a

Which alters the question to: how to get a monitor to produce this kind of glitch on demand.... <<</div>
Vertical and horizontal hold knobs. This is one reason why it's a good idea to have an old TV set around. If you can find one at a garage sale that uses tubes or ancient transistors, grab it.
Takes some practice. You can record snow or between-the-channels noise ir or actually pipe video into the antenna input from a channel 3/4 modulator out of a VHS or DVD deck. The image can be used to drive displacement maps or used for mattes of other video effects. Funny thing, audiences still expect to see snow on a TV set even though solid state and digital tuners haven't displayed snow for a decade. And TVs haven't done the shrink-and-wink when you turn 'em off since the 60s but it's still a classic way to show a TV set turning off.
btw, I admit my ignorance, what is: CoSA? < </div>
Ah, youngsters.
Company of Science and Art, before it was called version 1.0, before Adobe purchased After Effects. Somewhere there is an online museum of old boxes and dongles for After Effects versions.
Sorry to hijack the thread, Jim, if you need something more specific, let us know.

I'm looking for a new small, efficient media player.

Hi there.
The background that will give you insight into my situation but doesn't need to be read
I come from a very cushioned past media-wise. When I really started to get into listening to music I was still using Windows. It was Winamp first, which I liked but found a little much, but a few coincidences later found XMPlay, a free but closed-source media player capable of playing not only some weird file formats such as MO3, MOD, IT, XM, S3M etc, of which I have a few files in this format, but also MP3, OGG, WAV, and all the other general stuff out there. The timing was just perfect and I "grew" into my "media years" with this player. I used it across my transition from Win98 to XP, and also used it on a Win95 laptop - and I don't even think I had to "help" the system "like" the player to make it work, although I could be wrong.
However, XMPlay has no Linux version, and as far as I can see, no porting is planned. And as I said before, it's closed source, so not much can be done there.
In my setup I had a machine set aside for media playback because it had a SB16 in it, and I'd run it with the bass set to 100% and treble set to 0%. Despite what you might think, the output was awesome with headphones - it could give me a good headache or two without distorting at all.
So, when I first switched to Linux, I didn't initially switch this machine over, but left it running Win98. This got to me in the end so I switched it over... and immediately faced issues. Since there was no port of XMPlay, I needed to find a new player, and fast. XMPlay has a bunch of audio postprocessing features I had enabled, none of which I found support or equivalents for in Linux (for example, an EQ setting promoting bassboost, in addition to that provided by the card - you can understand the headaches). I eventually gave up and ran XMPlay using WINE... and left it that way, for several months. I mean, it worked, didn't it? Then the fact that XMPlay over WINE on a 450MHz processor (it's a P3, haha) used 50%+ CPU -minimum- for the player to even be running (IIRC) got to me, so I decided once again that a new player had to be found. After some digging, I found XMMS to be the most likely candidate (it supports LADSPA and I could configure a bass-boost filter), and for the most part, it worked well. Quite well.
Then... after I recently found myself recording some audio from the SB16's output to my main machine's input (the simplest way to get around the issue that the bass boost isn't very easy to feed back into the card - or impossible, I haven't tried it for so long), and had my headphones connected to my desktop to monitor the recording. Then, after that was done, I somehow started listening to some other piece of music (through my main box), for whatever reason. I immediately noticed a rather stark contrast in quality to what I'd recorded from the SB16 and what I was listening to. A doublecheck later confirmed that yes, my SB16 was of terrible quality, and yes, I needed a solution, since I wasn't gonna listen to that kinda sound quality anymore now that I knew.
Over the past few weeks (months?) up until this point I've slowly been weaning myself off the music I liked so much (XMs and MODs, and maybe the occasional S3M), and the postprocessing features I thought had glued themselves into my ears....
The, uh, like, point.
....so I need a media player that doesn't have much in terms of sound processing, but meets all the following requirements, either built in or as a plugin (as logically applicable):
* Can hide completely, leaving only a hotkey to bring it back. I don't use a system tray and don't want to, for any purpose.
* Is written in a compiled language.
* Has configurable global hotkey support
* Isn't bloated, dependancy-wise, filesize or memory-wise, or desktop-real-estate-wise - something that uses basic C and has a basic GUI preferred
* Controls the hardware volume so that volume changes are instant
* Supports tracks longer than 60 minutes / 1 hour
* Has good file management / playlist support
* Is something I can throw a gigantic directory tree at and expect to load all the music in it, FAST. I could throw my entire 32GB HDD at XMPlay when I wanted to see/remember what new music was on it and I'd just leave it alone for slightly under 5 minutes. When I returned to it, bam, playlist. That was on the 450MHz P3, running Win98. XMPlay also gave me feedback - if you can recommend something that shows me where it is on the filesystem, that'd be great.
Up until now, Audacious has met those requirements. But it's had the following issues:
* The track details window won't open for random tracks
* The time display stuffs up for tracks longer than >60m, showing the position at 0:59, then, 1:40, then after 10 minutes have passed 1:41, etc
* The volume control randomly forgets how to change the volume, and I refuse to change the controller to use a software volume since it'll induce delays
* The system has no ability to add directories recursively - this was present in XMMS, but the BMP guys removed it (?!?!?!) and since Audacious is a fork of BMP, ...
* The latest version's global hotkeys plugin restores the window to a non-changeable location when I use the "toggle player windows" function. As a visual person I find this a huge blocker.
Now for the list of players that don't do what I want. XD
* mpd - expects all your files to be in one folder; mine are everywhere, even thrown across sshfs mounts to other systems.
* audacious - ...
* xmms - too boring. GTK1. old stuff. unsupported.
* xmms2 - seems too "unreachable". I haven't tried this player yet, mostly because Arch has no clients in the repos. *stab*
* banshee - 200TB of dependencies, and it needs 400TB of RAM to run. Read: I dislike Mono.
* rhythmbox, banshee, amarok, exaile, quod libet - iTunes-ey UI. I hate iTunes-ey UIs.
* songbird - depends on the Gecko rendering engine. I have 512MB RAM, and I already run Firefox, thanks.
* bmp, xmms, audacious - winamp-ey UI. I want to move away from winamp-ey UIs.
If you have any suggestions... I'll be amazed.

* Can hide completely, leaving only a hotkey to bring it back. I don't use a system tray and don't want to, for any purpose.
Sonata, disable system tray icon, modify any panel settings to ignore it
* Is written in a compiled language.
mpd is written in C
* Has configurable global hotkey support
Set up keybindings for mpc commands
* Isn't bloated, dependancy-wise, filesize or memory-wise, or desktop-real-estate-wise - something that uses basic C and has a basic GUI preferred
mpd uses basic C, many, many GUIs for it around, extremely small memory footprint
* Controls the hardware volume so that volume changes are instant
Keybind alsamixer commands
* Supports tracks longer than 60 minutes / 1 hour
Is there a modern media player that doesn't do this?
* Has good file management / playlist support
I never use mpd's playlist capabilities, but they do seem fairly extensive.
* mpd - expects all your files to be in one folder; mine are everywhere, evn thrown across sshfs mounts to other systems.
Apparently you have never heard of symbolic links. OH SNAP! Just create a single directory to collect all the links in. Also, mpd does not expect everything to be in one folder; it expects everything to be available from one parent folder, allowing you to organize beneath that parent.
The problem you're having isn't that you're looking for a music player, you're looking for a wm/media player/file manager, and that just doesn't exist on Linux, largely because we are sane (for the sake of argument, ignore Songbird right now, I don't think any of us are crazy enough to use it anyways). Like looking for a zebroctonoceros, even though a zebra exists, an octopus exists, and a rhinoceros exists, they do not exist in the same creature. For interfacing with X (keybindings and the disappearing music player), you're better off going through a configurable wm like Openbox. For the actual music playing, well, I don't see any problems with mpd besides your music files being messy, and you can't expect music playing software to solve a personal organization problem. If your file system is messy, then use a file manager to fix it, not your mp3 player. I put a lot of effort into keeping my music files properly tagged and accessible from a single top level directory called music, which then splits off into mp3/ogg files, flac files, podcasts, etc, and that largely solves the problem of wondering where s--t is.
Another idea for you, if you have multiple machines. Collect all your music onto a single machine, and then set up that system to serve exclusively as an mpd jukebox you can listen to from your other computers over the network. Give it a try.

Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1

Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1 or 2.
FCP6 doesn't seem to have one.
Anyone heard of one that works really well & that is fast to use?
steve

Jim,
You are totally missing the point. I am an Adobe Premiere Pro instructor. I have been for 5 years. I added my 1st FCP system 2 weeks ago & am experiencing typical transitional curiosities as all who switch to other platforms & editing apps do.
PP has a color pass filter. I was curious to see if FCP did. That sounds logical to me:) If posting the question about the possibility of there being a color pass plugin bothers you, well , that has to do with you.
If you take a moment to read the prior correspondence, you might see my point.
I think we can bury the hatchet now:)

Looking for a new toy to help your editing workflow? Try this!

I recently ditched my simple 2-button + scroll wheel mouse for a mouse on steroids: the Logitech G700. What a difference! It has 11 customizable functions that can be automatically activated depending on the program you're in! So you can have a completely unique set of functions for Premiere, Photoshop, AE, Windows, etc, and each set will automatically/instantly be activated whenever that specific program/interface is the active one!
Here are my 2 layouts to give you some ideas:
Premiere Pro Layout:
Windows Layout:
You can even assign multi-step macros to keys. For example, I set one of the keys to: Deselect clips + Add Default Video Transition. So now, a single keypress will always apply my default video transition to the CTI, even if any clips were selected, just the way it worked in CS6 and I wanted it to keep working in CC!
If you're looking for a simple inexpensive way to improve your editing work, I highly recommend getting a programmable mouse like this one! If anyone has any other hardware devices that help their workflow, please share so that we can all benefit from the knowledge.
Cheers!

I am in the market for a new PC for my wife, and she will be inheriting the keyboard and mouse I am using now so I can get new ones. She picked these out to begin with since we were sharing a computer for a while so she will be happy with them.
That looks like a really great mouse. I may just have to take your advice on this one.
Although the newer version looks even cooler: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G700s-Rechargeable-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00BFOEY3Y/ref=dp_ob_tit le_ce
My wife would HATE that mouse, but since she will finally have her own again, I can get any mouse I want.
Very cool. Thanks.

Looking for newer Mobo, like the MS-7345 Platinum P-35.

Hello,
I'm thinking about upgrading my P-35 MS-7345. I really like the MSI brand. I'm going on 5 years, but because of possible GPU issues (like screen ghosting, Non-responding, and timer continues to spin, even when I make a very simple video action, like adding a transition, everything freezes and hangs, to the point of rebooting.
Some people have asked if i updraded Win7 drivers for the MSI boardw hich i'm sure i did. Some asked me to check the board for bad or damaged caps, so I checked both the GPU, and Mobo, but could not see anything. Then someone told me it could be the Power supply...really?
In looking at Video cards, Like the PNY Quadro 600 ($150.00) requires a PCi-E 2.0x16, which I have now, but the higher end cards like the PNY Quadro 2000, ($400.00) and others, reqiuire a PCI-E 3.0x16.
WISHY WASHY~ Don't know if i should wait to get a new mobo, before I buy a new card, becuz it's going to be a while. I don't want to buy the Q600 DDR3 now, to be obsolete and a non-performer compared to the Q2000 DDR5, which would be more faster, then I wonder, i7, more DDR3 memory, and a new Mobo, then use a slower DDR3? Ummmmmm.
To be honest, I like MSI, I bought my new MSI Platinum five years ago, and love it! I'd like to keep it if i could, but technology supercedes practicallity, with the newer atx case with front USB 3.0 (mine is only 2.0....if it's backward compatible, then fine.) I'd like to ahead of the game, but not if i'm going to go BROKE!
With my old build, with the mobo, Intel Quad Q6600,700W Toughpower PSU, memory,hard drives, That set me back about $1200.00.
So..... for someone like me who is not a gamer, does not overclock, wants a minimum of 32GB DDR3, 700W PSU, three SATAII hard drives, does anyone have some Mainboard choices of newer LGA 1155 or 2011 that would either of these work?
This time, I'll need the i7 (or i5) new mobo, new DDR3 memory...up to minimum 16GB, maybe 32GB, and that's that. I'll use what I can,. or give or sell this tower and everything inside to my sister.
I was only looking at these two for specs:
Z77A-G43 DDR3 1600 LGA 1155 ($ 97.00) OR
X79A-GD65 (8D) ATX DDR3 2400 ($ 291.00)
I know the MS-7345 Platinum is off the production, but is there a board out there that's similar to the MS-7345 P-35? {it's just easy to set up.}

If you already looked at X79A-GD65 (8D) and you are going for 16GB ram minimum or 32GB a Socket 2011 Core i7 would be a good choice. If you are just looking for an easy to setup system a X79A-GD45-8D would be of the same socket without any flaws but still somewhat less expensive.

I'm looking for a video of a good, comprehensive demonstration of what Motion 5 can do.

All I can find so far are tutorials... any suggestions?

I don't know of anything like that. What have you not been able to figure out from the Apple web page for Motion? It looks like you are using Final Cut Pro X, all of the titles, generators, transitions, templates are created in Motion. Companies like Ripple Training and MotionVFX create plug-in tools or templates that are built in Motion, so those are good places to see the capabilites in action. I know these are brief, but here are some overviews by training companies that discuss what Motion can do:
http://www.lynda.com/Motion-5-tutorials/Essential-Training/82541-2.html
http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide
http://www.rippletraining.com/categories/apple-pro-apps-tutorials/motion-5-tutor ials/getting-started-in-motion-5.html
Other than that, maybe you can explain what projects you might want to use Motion for or what capabilites you are looking for?

I am looking for support migrating Eudora 6.2.4 to Thunderbird

I have been hanging on to an antiquated Eudora email program (6.2.4) for far too long because I did not know how to migrate it, all of the settings, address book, filters, folders, etc. to Thunderbird. As a result I'm still running Mac OS 10.4.11. I am looking for support making the transition.
<sub>E-mail removed by forum moderator for your protection -M</sub>

well you have waited to long for current versions, so your going to have to install an old version and then upgrade it as some of the Eudora stuff is missing from current versions.
Start with V3, as that was the last major profile shake up and a good starting point to upgrade to and from as it was the basis of eudora OSE.
I have some instructions on the FTP site [http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/i-want-old-version-of-thunderbird.html here]
Once the import has completed and your happy with things upgrade to the latest version by downloading it and simply running the installer.
