Make Northern light and turn into Logo

Hi there wizards!
I'm working on my project and I need to make something that looks like the Northern light.
I think I'm going to do this with Trapcode form in After effects.
But my problem is, how can I turn the Smog effect (Northern Light) turn into a logo on a very organic way.
Like a smokey morph.
If you got tutorials that could help me out or a different technique, I would like to hear that
Thanks for the help!
Greets,
Stylow

The first time I saw something like this was a tutorial by George Polevoy posted on Creative Cow about 15 years ago. It was all the rage for a while and you saw it everywhere from tv commercials to feature film titles. It's pretty simple really.
Here's the original tutorial.
With the new plug-ins Turbulent Noise and Compound Blur it's even easier. George's tutorial will give you the idea.

    I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf.  When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank.  When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols.  What is going wrong?

    You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

  • Importing DV and turning into clips

    Hey is there anyway so that iMovie can import from your DV and automatically convert it into clips spread out like Windows Movie Maker. That like cuts up all the scene takes from when you have filmed one section and it breaks up into segments making it so much easier to edit.
    Can you do this with iMovie or can you get a plugin or something??

    I have never tried Windows Movie Maker, so I don't really know what it does.
    From your description it sound like iMovie imports your movie as a single clip.
    Here's how to deal with that problem:

  • Why are my texts getting sent back to me and turned into group messages?

    I had an ongoing conversation with someone. There weren't any problems. I sent myself a picture from my laptop to myself in iMessage. When I looked at my phone, it displayed 3 different conversations with my name as the name. I noticed that the last thing I had said to the other person was the message preview for one of my names so it was as if somehow my conversation replaced his. I clicked it open and it appeared to be blank so I deleted it.
    I went to send him a text from the new message thing, but when i would send a text to his phone number, it would automatically be sent to me instead and open my name's conversation again.
    When I looked at the conversation with him on my laptop in iMessage, the history was all still there, so I tried to send him a message from my laptop and it would display that the message was not sent. Except though it didn't send to him, it did send back to myself again. This time even using his ringtone that I have only for him. I restarted my phone to see if this would fix the problem. When I turned my phone on, it was back to normal with his conversation and all of its history, but when i tried to send him a text again, it turned the conversation into a group message with him, and myself? I'm very confused and I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help with this problem? I tried searching the internet for people with similar problems and couldn't find anything. :I
    Thank you.

    If you're exchanging texts with someone who has a basic phone, messages they send to you will be broken up into blocks no larger than 160 characters. They wil also receive your messages broken up in the blocks not larger than 160 characters.

  • How to make two matrix and table into same group in SSRS

    Hi
    i need to dispaly to dispaly data  matrix and table .  but matrix data on first page and table data on second page.
    how to achive this . if i give pagebreak for every new instance for matrix, only matrix data is getting dispalyed in one page and on the second page seocond record date is getting displayed. after all matrix data is displayed ( in separate pages) , table
     data is being dispalyed.
    but i want to display matrix data on first page and table data on the second page for the first record. for second record  also it should display matrix data on 3rd page and table data on 4th page etc..
    i mean how to make matrix and table data as same group. so that i can set "page break for new instamce" etc..
    how to achive this in SSRS2008

    Hi Ramkanuganti,
    From your description, you want to group both the matrix and table on the same field and add a page break between the two controls for each instance at run time.
    To achieve your goal, we can display the matrix in a list and display the table in a nesting list. Please refer to the steps below:
    Drag a “List” to the design surface. Drag the matrix into the top of the list (list1).
    Drag a “”List” to the list1, under the matrix. Drag the table into the nesting list (list2).
    Select “list1” and open the “Group Properties” from the “Row Groups” pane. Add the field on which you want to group the data. In the “Page Breaks” tab, select the “Between each instance of a group”.
    Repeat step 3 to configure the “list2” using the same field. Additionally, please also select the “Also at the start of a group” option.
    For more information about how to work with list, please refer to:
    Adding a List
    If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

  • How do you make programs open and close into their own tab in the dock, like they do in windows?

    You know in Windows, how there is a tab for each program in the taskbar?  And, if the program is minimized, when you click the tab, the programs restores.  And when you click the tab again, the program minimizes.
    Can this be done on Mac?
    Thanks!
    Bret

    Here's my ungrateful response...
    I should have posted screen shots in the first place!
    Here is what I'm talking about.  In the first screen shot (in Windows), you can see that there are programs running in the taskbar, but all the windows are minimized.  The mouse is hovering over the "Computer" tab in the tasbar at the bottom of the screen.  I am about to click the left mouse button once to restore the "Computer" window onto the desktop, but I haven't clicked it yet...
    In this next screen shot, you can see that I have just clicked the left mouse button once and the "Computer" window has been restored (is now showing on the screen)...
    Then, WITHOUT MOVING THE MOUSE TO ANY BUTTON IN THE "COMPUTER" WINDOW, ETC, IE. THE MOUSE IS STILL IN THE SAME PLACE IT WAS WHEN I CLICKED THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON ONCE TO RESTORE THE WINDOW, I click the mouse button again and the window minimizes!...
    All I'm asking is if anyone knows of a way to mimic this behaviour in OSX (in the dock) - either within the operating system itself, or with an addon app, etc.
    Right now, as you know, in OSX when you click the program in the dock, the program restores, but then you have to move the mouse and click on the yellow button at the top-left of the program window to minimize it again.  This is because once you click the program window icon in the dock to restore the program window, the icon is then removed from the dock - thus disallowing the possibility of clicking it again, without moving the mouse, to minimize the program window.  I'm trying to see if there is a way so you don't have to move the mouse to toggle the window from minimized to restored to minimized again.
    Or to be even more clear...
    This next screen shot shows the desktop in OSX (mine happens to be Lion 10.7.5) and we can see that the Firefox program window is minimized into the dock into a Firefox program window icon.  I have not yet clicked the mouse button to restore the Firefox program, but I am about to.  The red circle at the bottom left of the screen shows where the mouse is...
    Here, in this next screen shot, is the screen once I have clicked the mouse button on the Firefox dock window icon and the Firefox program window has been restored...
    As you can see, the Firefox dock window icon that I just clicked has disappeared and, in that place instead, the red circle is now over a different dock window icon.  The Firefox dock window icon is now missing from the dock and is therefore unclickable.  If the Firefox dock window icon was still there, I could just click on it again to minimize the Firefox program window, and subsequently click it again to restore, and so on - like I am able to do in Windows.
    I hope this clears things up.

  • Links break and turn into Chinese

    I'm trying to assist a colleague who usually works with InDesign files off a network drive. Occasionally, she takes a file off the network and stores it on her laptop hard drive so that she can work from home for the night. When she returns to work, she drags and drops it back onto the network drive to update it, basically overwriting what was there. Here's where the problem arises:
    Randomly, some of the files' links suddenly become broken in addition to their name becoming Chinese characters (even the link path becomes a single Chinese character instead of a full file path).
    My guess about the broken links is because when she saves it at home, InDesign is trying to renew the links but can't find the network drive so they break. This still doesn't explain why only some of the links break, however, and why it does not happen to every file every time.
    The Chinese characters are what completely baffle me. No clue how/why this is happening. This has been going on for a few months, and during those months I have reset her preferences and uninstalled/reinstalled InDesign for unrelated issues. This problem has persisted before and after.
    InDesign 6.0.3, Windows XP SP3

    I've asked my coworker to verify whether or not it's a single INDD file or each one that she does this with - she's going to test it. I tried recreating the situation, but cannot reproduce the problem.
    All users are on 6.0.3, although I think that all of the problem files were legacy CS3 INDD files that were subsequently opened in CS4 and resaved as CS4. Can that cause this type of thing to occur?

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Have you tried to power on the phone without SIM- and/or SD-card to see if this can help? Otherwise, a software repair via PC Companion would be recommeded:
    http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
    In PC Companion you press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Repair phone/tablet (the blue clickable link in the message) > Follow these steps without having your device connected to the PC.
    Follow the instruction that appears in the program and do not connect your device until this guide tells you how to connect it. When you are going to connect the phone, the phone should be completely off. Hold the ON/OFF button + volume up(+) for 10 seconds.

  • Objects turn into orange shapes when working in 3D...

    Almost every time I start working with obects in a 3D project, at some point while moving the camera in 3D space, the objects turn into bright orange "shapes", and I have to quit and restart Motion. Anyone else having this strange problem?

    No, I don't have two displays, just one 23" apple cinema display. The problem has gotten worse since my last post....I can't make any more than a few adjustments in 3D space, especially moving lights around, without all the objects turning orange and having to close and reopen the project. I notice that when moving a light, the light hitting the object "strobes" and turns into"pixellated lines" a few times, and then objects turns orange. It's getting very frustrating...that along with the text "pan tool" bug, I'm having to close and reopen Motion close to 40 times a day.

  • Strange issue with a users meeting turning into a appointment.

    So we have a user that is administrative assistant to many executives.
    Today they created a meeting today and invited a few people. (for whatever reason, the user has themself as a shared calendar. Not sure if they created the meeting under their own shared calendar for themself or not)
    sometime later they decided to add another user to the meeting, but the meeting no longer had attendees and turned into an  ppointment instead.
    The previous attendees still have their meetings with all the correct info(minus the user they tried to add)
    Also when checking the OWA vs the CLIENT,  you can see the sent email/invite in Outlook 2011 (yes its a mac they're using) in the Sent folder.  However, it was not in the Sent folder in OWA, and instead it was in the trash.   The one in the
    trash in OWA however, instead of containing the original users as the attendees, contained the New user they were trying to add.(all based on the time the original invites were sent out)   The first invite was sent out @ 1:30pm while the new user invite
    was (a completely different meeting invite due to the original not being there as a meeting) was sent out at 2:30pm.
    Is there any way to sort of monitor or track this sort of transacation?  A few users in question always seem to have these sort of strange issues.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that:
    1. There is a delegate set for several managers.
    2. The delegate created a meeting with some attendees for a manager and all attendees received it successful in Calendar.
    3. When the delegate sent a meeting updates, the attendees in organizer’s calendar were missing and there is no updates in attendees’ calendar.
    Is it right? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
    Please check whether there are any mobile devices used in receiving or accepting the meetings. Please confirm whether all attendees in organizer’s calendar are also missing in OWA. we can stop using any mobile devices and try creating new meeting then sending
    updates in OWA to try whether the issue persists.
    Additionally, please refer to the following articles for more information about Best practice when when using the Outlook Calendar:
