Looking for Wedding Special Effects for FCP!!!

Hi guys,
Help me out here! Can someone tell me where I can find wedding effects/ plugins and transitions for FCP.
I have seen things like firework plugins on tv or flowers making the transitions and so forth.
I looking for something similar or better.
Thanks a bunch in advance everyone,
Zia

Hi Dave,
I am reffering to stuff like Digital Juice Toolkit7 Wedding Tools II.
I am also looking for plugins or matte like Sparkles, Flowers, Fireworks and others to work as animated mattes on top of a clip.
Thanks,
Zia

Special effect for wedding video

I just started using Final Cut Express 2. I recently shot a wedding video for my daughter and I want to put in a certain special effect. The Bride is sitting on one side of a bench and the groom is sitting on the other side of the bench. They are looking away from each other and they slowly turn and notice each other. Now the effect that I want to do is as they get up and walk toward each other and embrace I want their physical bodies to stay on the bench looking at each other, but I want their transparent (spirit) bodies get up from the bench and walk toward each other and embrace. Does anyone know if I can do this with Final Cut Express and if so how can I do it.
Thanks for the help
Bill

Well Bill, there are several ways to do this, but I'll give you the answer that first comes to mind. You'll want to set the same video track over top of itself then bump down the transparency to somewhere areound 50% on the top video feed. Now, because it's the same clip, you'll most likely have "time" to deal with, and by that I mean you run the risk of them getting up in both clips at some point, so what you might want to do with the video clip on the bottom layer is slow down the footage (right click the video feed, click speed and put it down to %60 or something that fits). The transparency of the top clip can be adjusted (I think I'm not at my regular computer right now) by double clicking the clip and going into one of the four tabs at the top and you should have a transparency slider.
FCE2 is an excellent editor to start off with, it can do much more than people give it credit I think. I'll be making the transition to Pro this winter.

How can I get the special effects for my iMac?

I noticed one day while watching a You Tube video that someone had these neat special effects when they would click on something I could see a red (radar) circle like. Anyone know what I am talking about.

It's available in Photobooth, click on effects.
Also available in iChat video

How to properly timewarp 59.94 footage for slow motion effect for 29.97 output

I have footage filmed in 59.94 that I want to use for slow motion effects and output to 29.97. Using timewarp I seem to get duplicate frames at times. What would the best workflow to accomplish the cleanest result? I've tried interpreting the footage at 29.97 and keeping it at its native 59.94. At this point I feel like I'm just confusing myself further by just trying random things. Thanks!

Always interpret footage as what it really is. If it is really 59.94 progressive then that's what it should be interpreted as. It will play at the right speed in any comp of any frame rate. IOW, if the footage is 10 seconds and you put it in a 99fps comp and play it back at full frame rate the clip will still be 10 seconds long. If you put it in a comp that's 15 frames per second, the clip will still be 10 seconds long.
Make sure you understand that.
There is a chance, and a good chance, that your footage is actually full frame 59.94 fps video. That's why I suggested putting it in a comp that's also 59.94 fps and checking for duplicate frames.
There is also a chance that your footage is actually 29.97 fps interlaced. If you separate fields and look at the footage in a 59.94 fps comp you won't see any duplicate frames.
To change the speed of the clip you just need to apply Time Remapping, Time Warp, or any of the other Time Time tools in AE. It doesn't make any difference what the frame rate of the composition is, you'll be changing the length of the clip.
To keep from creating duplicate frames you either need software that interprets the new, extra frames or you need to use an exact whole number multiple of the frame rate for rendering.
Where did you get the footage? What Camera? What are you trying to do with it? What is the final destination (delivery) for your project.

What is the best colour to use for a 'Gold' effect (for printing)

I've had a look on the colour tab and (maybe I'm looking too hard!) but I can't find the best shade of yellow to use for a gold effect when printing - anybody got a CMYK or RGB code???
Thanks very much,
Mark

Shunith,
I apologize for the woolly way.
C: 0,
M: 9 (very pale) - 24 or 15 - 24,
Y: 100,
K: 0.
Here is an image quickly made for old thread, showing a slightly slanting gradient from 0/24/100/0 to 0/0/0/0 and back, created with a few intermediate steps to make it steeper in the pale part, to make it more radiant:

Creative Wedding Transitions & Effects for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 or CS5.5

Hi!
I am Professional Wedding Video Editor. before that i was using Pinnacle Studio 14 and Canopus Edius Pro but these Sucks, Now i have Intel Core i7 Extreme 64 bit OS and using Windows 7. I just Buye the Adobe Creative Suite 5. and soon i will Upgrade to Adobe CS5.5 . this is the Great Video Editing Software i Ever Seen. But i found some standard Dissolve & wipe Transitions in it.
My Question is that can i Use 3rd Party Creative Video Effects & Transitions with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5?
i want to know about thier names. that has Great transitions and smooth Transitions ever.
Thanks
Looking forward for Great Response.
Regards,
Waseem

Once, one could use the Hollywood FX Transitions (available from Pinnacle), but I believe that as of about CS4, that is no longer possible, but since Zac did not mention it (also, I think that Pinnacle no longer works with Hollywood FX, and they might be history?), I assume that CS5/CS5.5 does not support them either.
Pixelan (mentioned above) is a great resource for Transitons, and I recommed them highly.
I also have ProDAD's Adorage, but do not use those that often.
My normal Transitions are just Butt-cut, Cross-Dissolve and Dip-to-Black.
Good luck,
Hunt

Help re: special effect for gallery

hi
can anyone please help, even if it is to just name the effect
I need to look for.
I need to create an image gallery that (i'll try to explain)
The images need to be upright - and on an invisible wheel -
rotating. Sort of the position slides would be in a projectors
slide machine. The front image would be facing the viewer and the
rest on the invisible wheel at an angle, side on. The images can be
clicked from the wheel and there needs to be forward and back
functions to scroll through the images.
I have seen this done but cannot for the life of me find it.
Many Thanks
Sarah

Hit F1 (help docs) and search for Sshape Tweening, Tweened
Animation, or similar - Sshape Tweening
is all in the help docs that comes with Flash - it applies to
shapes (vectors) made in flash - not
imported bitmaps. You will need to trace your image using
Flash's drawing tools before attemting to
animate it with shape tweening.

Where can I get more filters, transitions and special effects for FC?

I thought I heard that there is a third party company that has transitions and cool effects and filters I could use with final cut express. Does anyone know who they are, and if they are creditable?
THANKS!

Oh no I don't have a problem with free and I don't think expensive things means it's better. It's just easier to install a couple discs of software then to go through a bunch of sites and sift through all the free ones. I used to use iMovie and GeeThree made it easy with all their discs. That's why I am looking for software. Plus if anything ever happens to my computer it wouldn't take any time at all to reinstall the CD then to go through and find everything again. Thank you again for your suggestions.

How to create a special effect for 'wipe' and 'wheel'

New to Captivate. Recently purchased Captivate 7. I'm trying to obtain an object 'add effect' similar to the "wipe" (from left) and the "wheel" animation effects found in PowerPoint. I want to simulate hand-drawing an emphasis line under text. I have a .png graphic of a hand-drawn red line (transparent background) that I'd like to appear by "wiping" from left to right. The "stretch" effect (from left to right) found in Captivate's "Add Effect" doesn't look right; it's obviously a 'stretch' instead of a 'wipe'. Likewise, I would like to hand-draw a circle or oval around certain text or other objects to draw attention to these items. The "wheel" animation in PowerPoint works perfectly for this.
Is there a way to do this in Captivate? Maybe some variation of one of the built-in effects that I've missed? Camtasia Studio has "sketch motion graphics" built in - which also does this nicely.

Thanks for the info on Infosemantics and their widgets. As a Newbie I wasn't aware of them and their cool, useful products. However, after going through all the tutorials I couldn't figure out how the 'slider' widget would serve my need to simulate a hand-drawn line, from left to right, under text on a Captivate 7 slide. Yes, it can be used to animate (or move) any object, but not to "reveal" an object like the "wipe" animation in other programs.
I'm thinking now that it would be easier to just build an animated GIF or a small flash file to show a hand-drawn red line moving from left to right. I have Flash CS4 but have never used it. Something else new to learn.
Thanks again.

Third Party Transitions and/or Special Effects for iMovie '09

Can anyone recommend some good third party plug ins for iM '09? I'm moving from iM HD where I had many to choose from.

Keep iMovie HD if you get iMovie 09.
They are very different, some good features with both.
iMovie 09 has no 3rd party plugins only what it comes with.

Special effect for 4x3 footage in a 16x9 timeline

I first saw WWE (wrestling) editors do this on their shows. They mix 4x3 and 16x9 footage together where instead of the 4x3 footage is zoomed in or has black bars on the sides, they duplicate the edges of the 4x3 just to fill in that space on the left and right and they blur it as well. It's a great trick and I was wondering if anyone knows of a filter that does this? I can manually do it in FCP, but just wondering...
Starting at :50, you can see some examples:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDUK0QdBKHI
Thanks!

That's a pretty easy way to do it although it's not exactly the same. How I did it was make a copy of V1 and paste it on V2 and V3. Apply blurs to both (V2 and V3) and move 1 to the left and 1 to the right. Then crop the left and right side of V1 accordingly.
With a filter...just a nice and easy drop.

Special Effects in FCP and extensions/filters

We are constructing a rock video and are looking for some strong organic effects, things that don't look canned and we can expand on. Has anyone seen any solid effects packages or manufacturers you would recommend?

some strong organic effects,< </div>
Unfortunately, that's not much to go on, organic. Your gradient wipe is as organic as your grayscale resources. Your flora and fauna resources and presets in Motion are organic by definition. Expanding the presets is nothing more than basic Motion manipulation. Maybe Patrick's book wiol help move you from staring at Motin's interface to messing with it..
o
You can find tons of Motion presets with a bit of research. Great backgrounds, prebuilt animations, and grayscales are available from Pixelan, ArtBeats and Digital Juice.

Looking to do an effect in FCP 4.5 but dont know if poss

Hi,
I'm doing an abstract art video edit & am using non-additive dissolves a lot but looking to go further.
Is there a way to mix 2 clips in a non-additive mix and let them just run mixed together? I looked & couldnt find anything in the effects that looked like the answer.
Also, if there is such a way, does it matter if the 2 clips running are actually edited strings of shots? or do they have to be just long single clips.
thanks a lot.
Duane

You could also achieve this by nesting the sequences, layering them and playing with the opacity of each in the Motion tab.
Just drop your nest in layer 1 and second on 2. Then Control click on the layer 2 and choose open in viewer. Select the Motion tab and lower the opacity. That's probably the simplest way. The composite modes would allow to play with them though to get more interesting results.

Color Conversion for blends and Special Effects..

Hi,
I need to change Magenta to cyan for the objects(blends) which was created by the way ( Object -> Blend -> Make) and also for the special effect objects which was created by the way (Effects -> Stylize-> DropShadow/Feather/Arrowheads etc. If i take the typename for blends item means it return PluginItem. How can i change the color for that item. Someone help me.
Thanks,
Sudha

NEXT Time: If you know you ae shooting for eventual B&W, take along two monitors on set- both set up to bars; then turn off the chroma on one of them. That way you can light for it. Color fools our brains into seeing more detail than is really there. You'll note there's not near enough contrast in the b&w monitor with standard lighting. You'll want a stronger key, you'll want to play some with the shadow detail. If you're a purist about it, take along scopes and an engineer to tweak the camera for you. If it's a rental, be sure to put it back the way you found it! Nothing makes rental houses grumpier than to mess with their pristine gear.
