Nice alpha text reveal. How is this effect done?

I want to do a nice alpha reveal with text and particles as in this trailer for the film Lovely Mollie here: http://www.filmweb.no/trailere/article453327.ece
How is this done? I'm guessing a liberal use of Trapcode form, but how is the text revealed? I'm thining maybe an alpha matte but is there an easy way of doing this type of effect.
Any help appreciated!
Cheers

Thanks guys, I've tried out the roughen edges before but need to get the middle of the letters alpharing out too, and of course the text to sand tuts.
Cheers!

  • How was this effect done?

    Can someone help me with how this was created. The 3D look of the states coming out of the map? Also the sides look cut too.
    Thanks

    If you want to end up wanting to kill yourself, just try doing that in Illustrator. That was probably done using a program that has more than Illustrator’s pathetic 3D effects. The biggest problem you will have is that Illustrator can only model one object at a time. You can extrude an outline of Florida and be happy with the result, but once you try using different extrude height for different states you will see the problem.
    Illustrator cannot model a “scene”, meaning all objects exist within one 3D universe with the same lighting, perspective, and vanishing points. Painstaking trial and error will be needed to get each state to look correct in relation to all the other states. Also, Illustrator extrudes from the centre out, so suing different extrude heights will mean the bottoms of each state are not aligned to the same surface. Fixing that will also take a lot of trial and error. best of all, once the bases of the states are nice and aligned, the perspective consistency will be off because you had to move everything.
    Conclusion: If this was done in Illustrator, it was not done using and 3D effects. It was done using talent and experience.

    convert text to movie clip or graphic, set motion tween from
    one place to another and
    on first frame of the tween, select the text and apply blur
    filter. Pretty much it :)

    hey ppl
    i have a datagrid in my form.i need to read input(fields..sort of a database) from a text file and display its contents in the datagrid.

    please help as this is urgent and important.. if possible please provide me with an example code as i am completely new to flex... 
    thanks.....  

    It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.

  • I'm traveling to Europe for several weeks. What's the best converter to use and how will this effect my computer?

    I"m traveling to Europe for several weeks. What's the best converter and how will this effect my computer over time?

    Right! Our regular power bricks cover the gamut of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz that will take care of everything save, say, a failing portable generator chugging in the tip of the Alps...
    And you can drink the Apple koolaid and purchase the Official $40 Apple Adapter Kit ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ ) that will look chic and color matched to your brick, or do as Kappy says and get a regular equivalent from the nearest Radio Shack

  • I would like to transfer the balance from one Apple ID to another how can this be done??

    I want to transfer the account ballance from my account to my son's. I unintentionally redeemed one of his gift cards to my account. how can this be done?

    Sorry, but balances can't be transferred from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll either have to make his purchases through your account, or buy another prepaid card and redeem that in his account.
    BTW, for future questions, this forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Regards.

  • I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

    You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
    Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
    The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
    Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
    iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
    If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
    Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
    Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
    Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
    Disconnect the device from your computer.
    iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes
    Connect your device to your computer, and open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
    Select the device, and click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
    Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
    Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
    Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
    Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.
    Tap the Import button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the name of the project you want to import.When the import is complete, the project opens and can be edited like any other project.

    I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library.  Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

    You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
    iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

    Sorry for late reply.
    Your next step is, create a new web application and deattach the content DB from new web application. You need to attach existing CDB to that web app.
