Loupe-like effect for video

Anyone know how to do a loupe-like effect within a video clip? I want to created zoomed in areas within the larger frame--like you see on Apple application instructional dvd's. Round, rather then rectangular.
Thanks for any leads to other apps or plugins.

D.Glen,
PT's right on the money. Slick volume 8 ($70) is the one that I think you're looking for. It has several interesting plugins, Picture-in-Picture Pro is the one that allows you to positon, scale and choose between 28 mask to apply to a graphic or video clip. You can also adjust the graphic/video opacity. Excellent effect with a lot of adjustments available.
Don't let the $70 throw you Slick volume 8 also comes with 10 other useful plugins .
I'll briefly highlight the Slick Motion II plugin that comes bundled with volume 8.
If you ever had problems panning/zooming over a graphic/photo ala "iMovies Ken Burns effect", this could be your answer (no jagged edges, no restriction with graphic (width/height) dimensions, etc.
This plugin produces great quality video, allows multiple key frames over a curve motion path, ease in/out and constant speed options. The only caveat is you can only animate one graphic at a time.
If I didn't already own "StillLife ($25)" or "Photo to Movie $50" this would be my preferred method of preparing Graphics/photos for iMovie.
Heck, I could have saved $75 with just this one plugin if I had actually played around with it (first version) when I purchased Slick volume 4 several years ago. Although, in "Slick Motion version I" you only had 2 (pan/zoom) keyframe postions "Start and End" like "iMovie Ken Burn's effect".
The other 9 plugins are pretty "Slick" too (pardon the pun).
If you're interested, you can browse the volume 8 gallery of effects.

  • Is there a sortking/rating software, like Bridge for Video.

    I have a project with a lot of files, and need to do something neat with them.

    I use Bridge for video as well, but I'm sure there's a neater program available that specifies in video logging.

  • Ken Burns effect for video clips

    I like how you can pan a photo using ken burns in final cut pro x. Is there a way to do the same feature in video? I'd love a simple way to move around within a video clip without having to film using a slider.

    I wonder if it would work better when video cams start outputting 4k.
    Not really, not if you edit in a 4k project. It's becoming more common to shoot large frame formats and edit in 1080p, allowing you to reframe the shot. Personally I think that's just lazy, but I'm then one film camera old school.

  • Best categorizing program for video?

    I would think that categorizing video clips for easy searches would be getting more and more popular now that hard drive space for storing files is more affordable. I've been trying to get my media organized in FCP and am now realizing that I need a separate program for categorization. Ive narrowed my search to two.. idive and foottracker.
    Does anyone have any experience with foottracker and idive? Any recommendations or pros and cons of those programs?
    I went through a similar dilemma when I was first trying to categorize my digital camera pictures. Apple did not have iphoto at that time so I bought a 3rd party program (iview) and as iphoto got more and more integrated with other apple software I had to redo all my keywording to work with iphoto.
    Foottracker seems to function the most like iphoto for video.. Maybe Ill get lucky and apple will buy out foottracker and make it part of the ilife suite? I have a feeling Ill buy a 3rd party program.. then apple will make an integrated one and Ill have to start from scratch again.
    Thanks!

    can iview keep track of time codes?
    Yes, IIRC.
    import video?
    Yes.
    break long files into subclips to assign keywords to sections? import into fcp? etc..
    No....
    Well, now you've hit on the central point, and why I don't use any of these apps having tried them out.
    You know what the best database for cataloguing video is? You're using it. It's called Final Cut Pro. (Or Avid, or your NLE of choice). FCP is the bets place to categorise and sort your footage, and that's just that. Any external software that did it - well, you'd just end up importing that info into FCP anyway.

  • 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:

    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,

  • Which video effects for vhs lp mode?

    a single vhs tape containing six hours of video is captured to mpg format. as you can imagine, the quality is lower than one might like. studying every video effect offered by pp4 would take me a lifetime. can you suggest a few effects i might look at for improving the quality of this low quality video?
    --david (neophyte pp4 user)

    Craig's right though, I know it's a pain and will take a lot more HD space, but if you can capture as DV, make your changes, and then export to mpg the results will be much better. I made DVD's of three old VHS tapes that were multi-generation copies and decades old. They were concert videos shot from the audience with VHS, and they had faded out terribly over the years. I mostly just did some sharpening and adjusted the color, gamma, light, and contrast. I also deinterlaced with TMPGEnc while doing the mpg conversion. They all came out quite a bit better. The bigger challenge was restoring the sound.

  • Is it possible to "partition" Iphone or Ipad when syncing?  What I would like to do is set up Itunes to use say 15GB for photos 15GB for music and 15 GB for video.  Any help would be appreciated. Thx

    I am using a Widows 7 PC with the latest Itunes.  I would like to alot hard disc space on my 64GB Ipad2 as follows  15GB for music, 15GB for Video and 15GB for photos. I would then like Itunes to autofill from my PC. Can this be done? The same question also applies to my Iphone4. Thanks in advance

    To my knowledge the iPod can only be used as a secondary monitor since you have to boot up the Mac and turn on the secondary display. You would still need a KB and pointing device for the Mac
    However, you can log into the Mini from an iOS device like an iPad using app like LogMeIn, GoTo MyPC or TeamViewer on both the Mac and the iPad. You use the touch screen on the iPad for all control of the Mac.
    As you said,that would be tedious for a lot of typing but you could use a BT keyboard for the iPad.

    When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi  using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

    It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
    I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
    Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
    To answer your questions,
    1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
    2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
    3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
    Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
    Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

  • Is it possible to set IN/OUT points for video effects within a single clip in PE4?

    Hello,
    In PE4, Is it possible to use keyframes to simply turn certain video effects on/off at different points within a single clip ?
    Some effects (i.e. Invert)have a Blend With Original setting which makes this easy to achieve, but others (i.e. Ripple)do not.
    I understand how to use keyframes to adjust effect properties at different points within a clip, I just can't find a way to simply 'turn-off' or bypass an effect for a period of time.
    Thanks All, CB

    Chris,
    As Steve points out, most Effects are OFF, by default (usually setting their parameters to 0). I just add a Keyframe for that Effect, with those properties, where you want the Effect to be OFF (but check that each Effect that you use starts as OFF, just to be sure). Then, in between the OFF settings, I add Keyframes with the desired parameters to invoke that particular Effect.
    One can also use the Razor/Sissors to cut the Clip into segments (just do not move them) to keep the Keyframes in one area of the original Clip. I usually work on the entire Clip, as once the Keyframe is set to OFF for that Effect, no more Keyframes are needed.
    Some Effects also have a Bypass setting, that can be Keyframed (in P Pro, and assume in PE). This can be handy to fully turn OFF any Effect. Note: even in P Pro, not all Effects have a Bypass setting.
    As usual with PE (and P-Pro and PS), there can be a couple of ways to accomplish the same thing. One can choose the method that suits them best.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

  • Missing video effects for iMac g5 w/ external iSight cam

    I have a G5 iMac with an external iSight camera and I'm wondering why I do not have the option for video effects while using photo booth and iChat. My wife's macbook does include video effects, so my first bet is that Apple decided not to give me the option with my OS upgrade. Anyone have a way to remedy this without spending over 2K again?

    DP, he has Photo Booth and Front Row, its the effects in iChat that he can't use, and I do think that's an intel function.

  • Changing default settings for video effect?

    Hi,
    I have a ton of interview clips to which I am adding the Timecode effect for transcriptions and translations.
    For each clip I increase the size and opacity, remove the field symbol and change Timecode Source to Media. I have hundreds of clips and changing the settings for each clip is a real pain.
    Is there any way to change the default settings of the effect so I can just drag the effect to the clips and be done with it?
    Thanks.

    Set up the timecode effect the way you like it on one clip,
    then right-click the clip and select 'Copy'.
    Select all of the other clips to which you want to apply the same effect,
    right-click and select 'Paste Attributes'.

    I am shooting aerial video with a GoPro H3+ at 1080p 30fps and would like to edit videos and give them to my clients to use in as much media as possible for their advertising and marketing needs.  I would like to give it to them at the highest quality allowed.  What form should I save it in 'Publish and Share'?  I have Premier Elements 12.

    KM
    Can we assume that your 1080p30 is an AVCHD.mp4 file or other?
    You manually or the project automatically should set the project preset to
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p30 @29.97
    (If your frame rate is really 30 instead of 29.97, then go with DSLR 1080p30 instead of DLSR 1080p30 @29.97)
    See the following link for setting the project preset manually
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
    For your export
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30
    Please let us know if you have further questions on this or need clarification on anything written.
