Looking for effect

At my church, we are doing a series based of the TV show "LOST" and I am the one responsible for editing it all together. I have made a title screen for it, but I can't find an effect that is similar to the show's effect where the title rotates and zooms in. The rotate effect that I find only rotates the individual letters, and I can't find a parameter to change that. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can create an effect similar to the one from the show? I'm a new user to Final Cut and LiveType, so I still have a lot to learn about how to use the program. Thanks for the replies!

There is no prefabricated "Lost" type effect in LiveType.
I'm not a Lost viewer, but just took a look at the open on the web. You could do this in Motion if you have the program.
In LT I would suggest you create a new track for each letter...position/align them...and then add the Rotate X-axis to each line...change the keyframes to move the way you want....then add the Fly Out from the Zooms. Once you get the adjustments on one letter correct...then copy the effect and paste it to each of the text line.
If you're new to LT then this will likely be more work than you want to tackle at this point.
Good Luck

Looking for effect/plugin that will hold bright pixels above a threshold

Does anyone know of an effect or plugin that will make pixels above a setable luminence threshold persist for a setable amount of time/frames?
Here's an example of this type of effect (go to 3 minute mark):
Thank you!

These Aharon Rabinowitz light writing tutorials are older but they should still be relatively valid for CS6. They may give you some ideas for ways of making artificial light writing.

Looking for a specific effect

Does anyone have a quick answer to this:
I'm looking for an effect of subtle shaking text
as if you are reading the text on a subway.
I'm putting subway sounds in the background.
Thanks,

Yet another method:
hit the record, press play, and jiggle your text dragging it with the mouse, that should create a more random motion.

Looking for a better resource to get a handle on using effects in after effects (CS6 BTW)

Hello thanks for looking in,
I would like to get better control over Zooming. The Zooming I found in AE did not function when
dragged it into my effects controller...Is the only Zoom control really the "Scale" as found in Prem-Pro?
I could not find it in AE. I wanted to zoom over the shoulder of my actor and concentrate on what my Actor is looking at/pointing at. I could not find where that effect is at in AE.
If you know of a couple good tutorials to watch that show how to control the effecst in After-Effects it would be welcomed and appreciated. If you know the specific path to use to pan and
zoom for my desired shot mentioned, that too would be appreciated. One other ? I skimmed through "Creative Cow" but there are many videos and after watching a couple that were titled what
I want, were not what I was looking for. Spent an hour plus surfing before I came here to ask.
Are some of the effects only applicable to one or the other? IE: Movies or stills? If so is there a
manual that states what can be used with what? I tried dragging some of the effects into my effects area and they would not populate. IE: Zoom Forward. Only used for Text?
Thanks for your time with this in advance.

Looking for image effects app

I would like to know what's the best app for adding effects to images, like shaddows, reflections, borders, etc. I tried Pictureesque, but it seems limited. I would like to know if there are any other apps like Pictureesque that do more? I'm looking for a good piece of software for under $50.
Thanks,

Looking for video effects

Hello everyone:
I'm relatively new to Adobe Premiere CS4 (although I have some experience working with digital video). I seemed to have mustered the controls for Premiere itself but what seems to be lacking in my understanding is how to create certain visual effects with it. I'm looking to create a video clip with effects like in this particular video: (Sorry for the link but it's much more easy to show it.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePDR3Pza1_g
What I'm looking for is this:
1. The way they have the Id logo expand, shrink and distort in the very beginning.
2. The "broken TV reception", or "TV-snow" effect. Also the effect how they have the picture twitch at some points.
3. The way they implemented titles in the beginning -- "The Union Aerospace Corporation is the largest ..."
I'm not looking for a free solution in particular, so if someone knows some third-party plug-in, or something I can integrate into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I'm not sure if it's Premiere or After Effects, either. So I apologize if I posted it in a wrong forum.
Thank you in advance.

As for the picture jitter, I'm not sure I saw the appropriate effect for it, but I'll keep looking, maybe I missed something... You said there's an effect for that in AE. I don't really know it that well, so I'm curious, is it possible to take a track from PrPro, send it to AE and then back to PrPro (pretty much like with sound track and Soundbooth)?
Depending on the version of PrPro and whether it's one of the full "suites," you can use Adobe Dynamic Link (DL) to quickly move footage into an AE Comp and back again. Each version of what was once called Production Stuido has improved the function of DL.
Now for the jitter, I seem to recall a plug-in, something like "unsteady cam," or similar. It is just the opposite of "stabilization." Do not recall either the official name, or software company, or even if it was part of an Effects "pack."
Speaking of which, I know it's off topic here, but do you know any idea where can I get some sound effects like in that clip? Maybe even some sound bites/background music/anything.
Not at all OT. Here's a list of SFX and music sites. Some are free, some are for a fee:

http://www.ilovewavs.com/Effects/Music/Music.htm
http://www.jamendo.com/en/albums
http://www.5alarmmusic.com/
Also the voices in the beginning sound quite machine-like, is there a software I can use to dictate some text in?
Audition, SoundBooth, and several other audio editing programs have similar Effects, and many more can be added, such as Reverb and Delay. There are also some free VST plug-ins that do a similar distortion. This GOOGLE Search has yielded a bunch of sites for VST's. Some free and some for a fee.
Again, thanks for your input, you can't imagine how much time you've just saved me... As for the video I'm making, it's supposed to be a fun one. When I'm done with it (hopefully in a couple of weeks) I'll post a link here.
No problem. If I can track down that shaky-cam/destabilizer plug-in, I'll post a link to it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Looking for some good text effects type plugins for CS5 or CS5.5

I have a website that I am updating and I wanted to create some really cool text effects. The effects are something that I want to create in After Effects to give it the movie effect with sounds, etc.
What I'm looking for is some add-on software that can boost the text. Any ideas?
Thanks

Since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time. It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
So how do you get the basics? You go here.
...and if you need this animation in a big hurry, you might want to have a Plan B ready to go.

Use Color or Magic Bullet Looks for complete grade and effects?

I am a long time MB Looks user - not heavy dosages but I do find it easy and fast as it keeps you inside FCP and along with the 3-Way CC it was efficient.
I am nearing an edit on a 80 minute documentary which involves going from color to clips converted to black & white and sepia tone for effect. I am thinking to use Color workflow for the entire color grade and effects.
Does Color dispense the need for Looks altogether? I have used color a few times now but not on a complete feature length, so I would need to sharpen my knowledge.

Color, MB Looks, FCP's 3WCC are all arrows in our quiver. We don't need to give one up to use another.
I'm working on a doc now (it's rendering out in Color as I type this) that has "Hero" shots being treated in MB Looks. But I use Color to even out all those Hero shots so the MBL settings I'm using will be applied consistently. But even then I find it useful to to precede MBL with a 3WCC so I can easily adjust the tonality, saturation, and color palette of the shot without having to step back into the MBL interface.
I can definitely guarantee that I couldn't have graded this show in 2.5 days if I just kept myself to using only the FCP interface. Even with the prep time for the Color round-trip - I get better results faster...

Looking for an effect/filter

I'm looking for an tutorial or effect like the one in the link below. Don't know under what I should search for.

The effect is Echo. It takes a bit of getting used to and footage with an alpha channel seems to work better most of the time.

I am looking for a (relatively) cost effective virtual news studio that does not look too cartoonish

I am looking for a (relatively) cost effective virtual news studio that does not look too cartoonish. Can anyone recommend a website or software they have used?
Any help much appreciated

I don't know how you would feel about the quality, because I have never actually used one, but there is usualy a free 7 day trial of Video Blocks and they have 100 virtual sets available. You can download as many as 20 per day with the trial. So you have enough time in a week to get them all. But don't forget to check out the music section for your news intro. And some lower thirds.
https://www.videoblocks.com/freeclips/
I have to warn you that I got so wrapped up in the site that when they offered a huge discount I took them up on their offer. IIRC it was around $100 for one year instead of ten times that much.

Best advice as Mylenium says is to look at as many tutorials as you can - I'd start with the excellent and fully featured tutorials from www.videocopilot.net and also http://library.creativecow.net/tutorials/adobeaftereffects
Getting to grips with particular will also give you some creative options with particles.

Looking for setting for multi color circle effect, that i have used with photoshop 11

Looking for the setting for multi color circle effect for photoshop 11. I have used it before, but cant find it again. I was able to change the size of the circle , and only had to pick one color it did the multi color by its self.

Do you mean photoshop elements 11 or photoshop cs4 (photoshop 11)?
Anyway since you posted about photoshop elements 11 before.
Select the Expert Mode
Select the Brush Tool
In the Tool Options under Brush Settings use the Hue Jitter
(select different foreground and background colors at the bottom tool box)

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.
