No sound in Special Effects or iTunes.

What is causing my special effects and iTunes music to NOT play in my iMovie project?

no nothing! and now it's started asking me all the time for my password to authorize the computer for itunes, but I'm already authorized and after I enter the password, a message pops up that says something about "you are already registered" and ugh! no clue!

one of the special effects audio I inserted is no longer playing.

Try doing a reset on the iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.

Audio special effects in Pr12

I'm back! I want to add the "reverb" audio special effect to an audio clip I have. [using Premiere Elements 12 on a WinPro7 computer]. This is what I've done:
click on the audio clip
open special effects and open audio special effects
click on 'reverb' (the outline is now blue) and drag the reverb box onto the audio clip.
The effect is on/in the clip (can check it with 'adjust special effects'), BUT when the clip is played, there is a ratcheting noise. I have tried the "delay" effect as a diagnostic tool, and it added just fine. It's just not the effect I want.
Ideas any one?
Thank you.

Hello,
I'm sorry to have waited so long to reply. I guess the holidays got in the way....and, football. And, now I have 3 topics.
ONE
I tried MANY things about the REVERB effect with no success....either (1) I could not hear that the reverb was working (and, I've used it before in Pr4 and could tell a difference) or (2) that ratcheting noise was still there.
The main thing I did was create new (test) Pr12 files with only the audio that was the problem or with other audios [i.e. songs 'ripped' from purchased CDs, purchased songs from iTunes (either MP3 or WAV formats), sound effects I have from many various sources, including the ones that come with Pr12]. No help. Soooo, if I MUST have reverb on an audio clip, I think I'll just use my XP machine and its Pr4 and then export that audio clip to use in the Pr12 file...if that works, and I think it would. Thank you for that help.
TWO
To continue a thread we had about file size and DVD disc capacity.....I have included 2 screen shots....the first one is to show the file size I just burned on a 4.7 GB DVD.
You can see that the file is 5.587 GB.
Now, here is what the screen showed me in Pr12 when I was preparing to burn the disc.....notice that the "fit contents" box is UNchecked, and I slid the button to the right for HIGHEST quality. Notice it says "space required" is 1.64 GB. This is what I was trying to get across when several of us were discussing "file size" vs disc capacity. Does this mean I can put more on a given disc? That would be cool if I could.
THREE
And, last but not least, is there a way to reduce the volume of the MENU volume if it comes with its own audio? I am using "Outdoor Adventure", and its volume is INTENSE versus what I have mixed in the file. I have looked in my Pr manual, but it doesn't say much. I guess I should first look in the forum for the answer to this, but I'm spoiled with your terrific help.
Have a good day, and thank you.

How to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?

how to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?
kindly recommend me any best one and tel me step by step how i will add more plugins n filters

A Plug_in normally come with an installer or install instructions. Check the documentation for the plug-in you trying to install. It sounds like you don't know what plug-ins you want to install. In that case you don't need to install any. At some point you may read about a plug-in and what it can do and feel you have a need for it. Then you will have a reason to install a plug-in that is not installed by default. There may also be a cost involved most worthwhile plug-ins are not free.
Adobe Optional Plug_ins downloads are Plugins Adobe want to remove from Photoshop and no longer install by default. Also at some point in time these will no longer install into the current Photoshop for Adobe will remove feature or interfaces the use. For example the CS5 optional plugins will install in Windows CS6 perpetual version 13.0.1.3 but not in Subscription version 13.1.2 or perpetual Mac version 13.0.6 fot its 64bit only and the Mac CS5 optional plug-in for Picture package is only a 32bit plug-in.
You will need to keep and maintain old versions of Photoshop if Adobe remove features you use in new versions of Photoshop.

Assuming you have (1) signed out, then (2) waited 30 minutes and it didn't work you will need to contact iTunes again.

Special effects in 08 imovie?

Just upgraded to 08 imovie only to find no "special video effects" such as Bloom, rain, fog etc etc. Very disappointing. I stopped by Apple store and this was confirmed as well. Are there any add on special effects products out there?

The part you are getting lost on I take it is that in order to import a project into iMovie HD ('06), the necessary video files are copied into a new iMovie project.
Which is why I recommended that anyone doing video editing should be using a secondary drive for storage. As an example, if you have a 160 GB drive, you should try to keep about 24 GBs free for optimum operation. As you have 26 GBs of original data which you are in effect duplicating, then before even starting the "double-import" work flow, you should have 70 MBs of free space available. Sounds like you may have had only 50 MBs or less and that doesn't include whatever disk caching setting you may be using or caching for any and all applications which may be simultaneously open.
You wrongly assume that I would have a spare external drive laying around to do a 26GB transfer.
I make no assumptions here. I am merely stating the fact that if you plan to do video editing, you need both adequate RAM and disk storage space available. If you don't, you are bound to have such problems on a regular basis. With 160-320 MB triple-interface drives available in the $100-$200 range it seems less than productive not to at least consider the purchase of one. (Cheaper drives are available but are probably not the best choice where video capture is involved.)
Besides, do you know how long it takes to do a 26GB transfer?
Can't say as I do on your system. It took me 17 minutes and 32 seconds to transfer 26 GBs while simultaneously compressing a feature film to H.264 (for TV use) and answering these questions.
Instead of all this iMovie '08 to iMovie HD ('06) Tomfoolery, which, in my opinion, is a really big error on Apple's part, I went out and purchased Final Cut Express. I did my basic scene editing in iMovie '08 (which, by the way, it seems to do rather well) and exported the projects to a FCE XML document.
Well, that is one option that I did not previously consider. However, remember that sooner or later if you do any editing in FCE segment/files will likely have to be rendered from the reference source files and this will again start to eat up storage space. Assume you are using FCE v4 here. If not, you may expect to run into some path problems with your XMLs which will likely have to be restored manually.

Special effects, h

Hi everyone,
I use Sound Blaster Li've and it works with no effects.
The effects like bathroom,garage, etc only works for the mike.
How can I use these effects as well for Line In and Wave?
Hoping for a solution,
Johnan.

Hi Shag,
Thanks!!
Maybe I wasn't that specific.
The special effects work for the mike but not for all the other inputs like line-in, CD etc.
I did reinstall the li've version a couple of times as a result of a crash. The effects had no priority but now I need to use it. So I must put attention to it.
Is there another action to get it to work as it should?
I hope to hear again from you.
Bey,
Johnan.

Rocket flames and exhaust special effect (2D graphics)

Hi, does anyone have a 2D special effect for drawing a rocket's flames and exhaust that they would be willing to share (open source only please)? Or, could anyone at least post some hints on how to make some cool special effects?
Thank you.

This sounds like a good place to use a variation of the classic "fire algorithm". It's simpler than a full-fledged "particle system" but can still deliver striking results when done correctly.
The basic principle of the "fire algorithm" is like this:
First, you need a 2d array. For this sort of thing I'd probably suggest around 30 wide by 60 high. This is for pixel values that, in most implementations, range from 0 to 255. It starts out with zeros, of course.
Actually, you'll need two identical arrays.
Now, for each iteration of the flame animation:
Each pixel of the next frame is generated from the pixels of the current frame. This is why we use two arrays instead of one. First, for each pixel position, the new value becomes an average of the old values of the position, the pixels to the left and right (or 0 if we're at the left and right borders), and the three pixels below. This results in a good blurring effect, and upward scrolling of the generated image. (You can't do this for the bottom row, obviously; we have something special planned for down there anyway.)
While calculating the new values for all the pixels, also subtract 1 or 2 so the flame gets darker as it reaches the top. Negative values become zero.
For the bottom row, simply set each pixel to random values. (Although, for a more thrust-like flame, use low values near the borders and high values for the center.) This, combined with the blurring/scrolling effect, is what creates the lovely animated fire effect.
Rather than copy one array to the other for each iteration, I think it's possible to simply swap them. With some clever changes to the algorithm, it's even possible to get by with using only one array, but it's probably more trouble than it's worth.
Now, as for actually rendering the fire to the screen, that's probably much trickier in Java than in the languages I'm more used to. (I've made QuickBasic and Turbo Pascal versions of this, but not Java. Yet.)
You'll need a palette, probably divided into three bands: White fading to yellow, yellow fading to red, then red fading to transparent. (Red with an alpha value of zero would probably work best.)
Now, convert your lovely byte array, except for the last two or three rows which will look relatively ugly, into an image, using the palette. (This is the part I don't know how to do in Java.)
You can then use the AffineTransform feature to rotate and stretch the fire image and draw it on the screen whereever it's needed. (I'm actually not sure how to do this, either.)
I really need to try this some time!
Now, depending on the kind of exhaust effect you're looking for, you might be able to use the same array, and simply convert it using a different palette, one using greys, to create an exhaust image. Experiment!

Does iMovie have Sound and Video Effects?

Before i begin filming my college film i wanted to ask and see if imovie has sound and video effects. what i mean is like, say in the film a gun is shot, well does imovie have a shot going off sound? are there sound effects? or am i asking in the wrong place and see if garageband has these?
also, video effects? i know imovie has like sepia and black and white tones among others but can i add other types of effects? if so, what kinds?
thanks!

you're looking for specific effects for your specific needs.. why not launching iM on your MacBook.. and look for your own..???
BEFORE doing a "serious" project, I would allway do some test/dummy projects, just to get comfortable with some software ...
plus:
the two additional audio tracks allow easiely to place small audio snippets, downloaded from anywhere in the web to your movie.. if you need explosions, gunshots, lightsabres, whatever, the iNet is full of sources...
plus:
you can teach iM lots of new tricks by installing/purchasing 3rd party plug-ins, if you need very special effects , iM does not support out-of-the-box.

How do I get more effects in my action box? I am only showing a few, like "Bottom Borders, Losing Weight, Resize and Crop, and Special Effects. And they do not list but a few effects. When I have watched the tutorials, they are showing a long list of effects in the action box. (with a side space bar) I do not. When I have clicked on the little arrow at top, and clicked "Load Actions", a box comes up, but it is blank,saying "no items match your search". I'm lost! If someone could help, it would be much appreciated! I would like to start using this.
Thank you.

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO ADD SPECIAL EFFECTS TO MY MOVIES

Hi i am making a video using a green screen. I used to be able to double click my video on the project bin and choose a special effect such as romantic or black and white. Now i can no longer do this. It brings up video stabalization, audio and video where you can change the color and contrast but no special effects. I have tried both on project bin and importing. I can add special effects to text but not video. Could this be because of green screen effect or length of video?? This is before and after adding a background for the green screen. I am sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything on this.

Quit the Videos app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work - try this. Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

Style sheets (paragraph and character) not coping Special Effects

Couple of questions about ID CS3. I have been really digging into the guts of the application and can appreciate how powerful it is.
I am having a couple of problems and don't know if it is me or the app.
1. I can not get a NEW Paragraph or Character Style Sheet to copy the Special Effects (specifically the drop shadow and inner glow).
I have tried both by using the eye dropper, and the highlighting etc but nothing works. What am i missing?
2. Also, how can I change the Drop Shadow Distance from the default (.1375in) to something else (ie., .05)? Same thing for the Angle. I also want to change the Distance and Angle for the Inner Glow. I looked in Preferences but could not fine them there. I am afraid to ask when do I use them for Object and when for the text....I will figure that one out by playing with it.
3. And finally, how do I isolate moving an object. Even though the boundary boxes show up that I have a specific object selected, when I put the mouse in there to move it, some object underneath it moves. This is probably some technique I am not doing correctly.
I absolutely love this application and will appreciate any help in the above questions.
Thanks,
bob

Hmmmmmm not too sure what you are saying here (faking my way through applying it to a paragraph and anchored objects).
Lets say I have the following:
Chef Salad
We use the freshest lettuce, tomatoes..... bla bla bla
I wanted the name of the menu item (Chef Salad) to be 30 pt, Times New Roman, Red text (no container fill), drop shadow.
Lets also say I want the description (the Bla bla bla) to be 15 pt, Arial, Green text, and small drop shadow.
From what I understood you to say(write), I would have to make a Object style for Chef Salad (and I guess another Object style for the description)given that I want to use special effects.
What has been one of the more confusing things about ID (and believe me, I have been watching hours and hours of Lynda.com, Youtube, and reading a book/DVD on the subject) is when to use paragraph styles, Character styles and now Object styles.
Changing the parameters on these styles is not (to me) the difficulty. When and where to use a particular style is.
I don't want to keep bugging you so if you have someplace that really gets into the proper place and time to use these styles I will go there (if I haven't been there already).
However, if it is pretty easy for you to elaborate some more, that too would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks Bob
PS Nice looking web site you have.... I am up there viewing it now.

IMovie special effects gone with 08?

are the special effects from imovie gone? im talking about where you can put clips in slow motion and reverse them, do lightning effects, and mirror. i cant figure out how to get to them if they're still there.

i just imported some of my old clips from iMovie 06. it stripped them of the effects though, thats why i wanted to know how to add them again and everywhere i've looked they're saying that there aren�t any right now. i might ask apple if they plan on adding them and will it be a free upgrade because i know more people than me are hurt by this lack of effects
as for making new projects, i clicked the "+" in the bottom left hand corner, and it let me create a new project. they keep all of your old clips in the same "bank" though, they're not separate. but unfortunately they don't keep your movies how they were the old iMovie, they give you bare clips. you have to make them again, unless you had effects, then you cant because of the obvious.

No sound in Special Effects or iTunes.
