Noise In Edges of Title (video/motion graphics)

Anyone have tips on an approach to reduce Noise In the Edges of a Title?
Here is the title:
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/7535/textpw2.jpg
Its really just a "cut out" with a stroke that then overlays a flashy and colorful video in an NLE.
It looks OK but by the time its rendered down to MPEG the edges get too crunchy.
Any tips would be great...

Its MPEG2 (.m2v) destination = SD DVD.
max 9,500,000
average 6,000,000
min 192,000
regardless, i still believe that someone on the level of an interface designer could make a much more compelling "overlay" that uses advanced "glass look" transparency techniques and so on rather than a simple and fairly lame stroke.
as well, AE or other nle/text generators never have the control for the best titles....
that why i was asking in PS forum....i know what i dont know..kind of frustrating....

Which Adobe product is capable of this type of motion graphic? (link inside)

We use a lot of videos at our church as a segue into sermons or series, and we would love to be able to make our own - not with film or photography, but with animated graphics. Is Flash the product I need? After Effects? A great example of the type of video/motion graphic we're looking to create is right here:
https://seeds.churchonthemove.com/asset/series/how-to-become-the-you
Basically, my plan is to reactivate my lynda.com account and jump right in, but I don't want to spend time learning the wrong product. My only experience up until now has been in print and web, so the products I've spent all my time in are Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver. I'd like to be able to do this, too.
Thanks!

Well exactally,
Being the economic misfortune that hit the country, my company doesn't have the funds to pay for a professional and they are trying to find a way to keep the project inside the building.
me being 20 years old and wishing to pursue a career in graphic design sees this as a great opportunity to learn alot about printmaking as well as how to use graphic editing programs on a level higher than taught in school.
My boss is wanting me, and going to pay for me, to go under several hours of training to accomplish what needs to be done, but like I said, I am given the task of trying to figure out what kind of software I am going to need for the task, which is why I am here asking about the programs.
Also, it is kind of my first attempt at trying to further understand exactally what each of the programs do, and so far, I have learned quite alot by searching around and asking what other people think.
So, If you don't find it to be too hard to put your opinions or thoughts about how I could best accomplish creating the cleanest cards I would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
BeeHiver

Deinterlaced output creates noise on edges of video

I have a project that is to be distributed as a movie file on Flash thumb drives so I've been futzing with deinterlacing in Compressor.
I have ProRes interlaced source from client and I've created a Compressor setting of ProRes Progressive with Best (motion compensated) deinterlacing, Adaptive Details checked, anti-alias 7 and details level 7 and resize to 640 x 480.
This setting produced very good looking deinterlacing, but on the edges of the video is garbage that jumps around. It looks like purple snow stuff.
Any tips?
Thanks!
Scot

Unless you are UP-scaling your video, you want to leave adaptive details unchecked and keep anti-alias/details at Zero. These options are not related to deinterlacing - only scaling.
Hard to say but I would guess it's the adaptive detail setting that's creating the noise.
If you still get noise, you might try cranking out an uncompressed, same-as-source file out of After Effects and then compress that. Seems silly, but I've found that simply "re-wrapping" a file as an uncompressed quicktime will bypass whatever is confusing the compression software. The file will be ginormous and it's a bit of a workaround...but ifitworksitworks amirite?

Video on background layer is not showing up behind motion graphic.

Hello Premiere experts,
I'm using Premiere 6 on Windows machine and in the last few days I created a motion graphic that has an alpha channel for background transparency and it is placed on video track 2 and it works when I put a static image underneath it... that is, it shows the background image behind my motion graphic properly in the preview and the rendered video.
But now I've put in an AVI video file behind my motion graphic, and I've tried putting this AVI file on video track 1A and 1B and rendering my movie, but I'm only getting my moving motion graphic on a black background in the preview and the rendered movie... no video from my video track 1A nor 1B is showing up in the background of my motion graphic... but when I put a static image, like a JPEG or a PSD behind my motion graphic, that does show up in the preview and in the final rendered movie.
Shouldn't video be able to be seen behind a motion graphic?
Thanks for any help,
numetro

Hello again Bill,
My motion graphic creation has been successfull, like I said, when I place a static JPEG or PSD behind it... in that case, it shows my moving graphic and the still background image behind it, with successful transparency.
The motion graphic creation is chronicled in the thread that you posted some replies to at this link...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/842405?tstart=0
The workflow is...
1) Import File: Bring in the graphic intended for motion - a PSD with a straight Alpha Channel for the graphic clip to be outlined for transparency... appears in the Project palette.
2) Move that PSD graphic from the Project palette to the Video 2 slot in the Timeline... click to active that graphic in the Timeline... shows "crawling ants" around perimeter.
3) Drag that graphic from the Video 2 slot in the Timeline palette to the Effects Control Palette... Motion Setup and Transparency Setup choices now appear in Effects Control palette for that graphic clip intended for motion.
4) Create motion path in Motion Settings dialog box, select "Alpha: Use Clip's" and save settings... click OK and close dialog box.
5) Select "Keytype: Alpha Channel" in Transparency Settings Dialog box... click OK and close dialog box.
6) Import File: Bring in the AVI video intended for the background of the motion graphic - an AVI file that plays properly in Windows Media Player and IrfanView that was converted from a created WMV file to AVI format... AVI video file appears in the Project palette.
7) Drag that AVI video clip to the Video 1A (or Video 1B) slot in the Timeline.
8) Save the Project.
9) Click enter for previewing and/or "Export Clip>Movie" to render movie.
10) I just get an AVI file exported from Premiere 6 that is my moving motion graphic on a black backgroundl... showing NO video background as intended.
As I said, when I'm using a still, static image as the background for my successful motion graphic, I get my motion graphic moving on the intended background... this is only a problem showing and rendering the motion graphic on top of the AVI video background.
PS: I found that I need to double log-in each time I come to this forum now... logging in first from the "Sign In" link at the top right corner of the forums page, then it says I'm logged in, but will not give me the reply and actions options... then I finally figured out after multiple tries that I now need to additionally click the "Login/Register" link near the top of the page on the left... this has changed in the last few day. I'm still not able to recieve email alerts of forum replies in spite of all three email alert pages being set to "YES" and "RECEIVE".
Careful examination of my information above should make my workflow and prior actions clear.
Thanks again,

Feather Edges of a Video Clip in a Motion Project?

Is there a way to feather the edges of a video clip used in a motion project?
(That is, feathering in the sense of making it gradually more transparent as you approach the edge of the rectangular image frame.)

you create a feathered mask by, first creating a mask with the mask tool, and then adjusting its feathering parameter to taste. You create regular shaped masks or more complicated ones if you use the bezier mask tool.
of course thinking about it now, if each layer is scaling and animating separately, simply masking the group may not work. You may need to set the anchor points of each layer say to the left hand side, that way they will scale out the other side and not evenly around the anchor point. it may be easier to lock down the sides you want to match.

From 3D apps to AE for 2D & 2.5D Motion Graphics...???

A word of warning for those of you coming from mainstream 3D apps to AE under the misconception that it's the default and best choice for 2D motion graphics.
AE is a compositing app onto which some functionality for doing rudimentary animation has been added, but it's all tacked on, and it feels that way. And there's great big holes in its capabilities as an animation creativity space.
Most of its user base and adherents aren't even aware of its limitations in comparison to the features and functionality of 3D apps. Consequently they will automatically rebuke any negatively phrased questions about AE's abilities and immediately suggest trite work-arounds that fail to consider the deeper potential relationships inherent to entities created within 3D apps.
After Effects is not good at 2D animation in the ways that you're familiar with it being possible, at all. It's arguably not even really suited to 2D Motion Graphics, that folks coming to it without ever having used 3D apps are playing within a constrained space and should be deeply congratulated for the way they've worked around its inherent limitations to create what they have.
You're better off hightailing it back to your favourite 3D app and figuring out how to make a flat lighting rig, and materials and models in an ideal orthographic camera setup... far better than fighting with the inabilities of After Effects.
After Effects was fundamentally designed as a compositing tool for video, and has become the default choice for motion graphics "artists" who know no better. They're using more work-arounds, fudges and trickery than you could ever imagine necessary to get their desired results... when they stray outside of what AE can do "natively".
Their trickery is that most of them stay within the lines, so to speak, and make some incredible works in which we of the 3D realm don't necessarily instantly see how they've artificially constrained their creativity to the limitations of the tool they're using. But, given enough time, you'll start to bump into those limitations and constraints within AE, and begin to feel that irrepressible urge to bang your head against a wall because you'll initially make the same mistake I did... which is to think that you're failing to find how to do something, not that it can't be done in AE with the kinds of connectivity you're accustomed to.
But, more often than not, those things that you've come to rely on in 3D apps for consistency, accuracy and legitimate relationship management between entities in your projects, they simply don't exist in AE's way of thinking.
If you have a choice, use 3D apps to do 2D. And thank me later.
AE could be a great product for Motion Graphics, but it first needs to consider the humble Vertex to be a first class citizen. Consider that it's not, and you're at the first part of avoiding AE and running back to those 3D hills.

As a heavy C4D user, I would disagree with this gentleman's (or gentlewoman's) characterization of After Effects. After Effects has a very different way of working, yes. There are things that are better done in a 3d program (like C4D), yes.
However, After Effects is a very powerful tool for motion graphics and, once you learn how to work with it, you can do things that you can't do in 3d software. (Or would take a really long time to do.) The key here is that you have to learn to work with it. Just like when you start out learning 3d, it takes a while - the same is true here. It's a very different way of working. But so is Photoshop compared to Cinema 4d. They are very different tools with very different ways of working.
For example, glitch effects. You can't do those in 3d software.
Or try this exercise:
Type some text in AE
Create a solid with the Fractal Noise effect applied
Precompose this solid (making sure you choose to move all attributes into the precomp)
Turn visibility for this layer off
On your text layer, apply the Compound Blur effect and the Displacement Map effect
For both effects choose your Fractal Noise precomp as the map to use
Animate up the displacement values and the blur values
Learn how to use each program and then use each program for what it was designed to do and you'll have a great time.
Don't take the time to learn it, and be frustrated.

Motion graphics display problem

Just finished a project with an opening and closing Motion (3) titles and a FCP movie in between. The movie looks ok but the Motion graphics are a little "liney' is this due to the way its been encoded?
What the best procedure in this circumstance insofar as I created the opening and closing titles in Motion then exported as a QT movie then placed in the FCP timeline. Do I have to convert or encode out of Motion in a certain way or format that will not affect the final movie project when I export from FCP into Compressor?

Thanks
Could be. But it also could be a number of other things. The design isn't one suited to your Home TV (btw is that a SD interlaced display). The hardware between your computer and the Home TV isn't up to the task. Some setting in Motion of FCP isn't set right.
One thing that I have always done (for years when interlaced was about the only thing people watch stuff on) is to apply a very slight blur (I'll use a gaussian .5 to 1 depending on the font and size). This will knock down some ringing on the edges.

Very challenging motion graphic project, advice about the work flow

i have been requested to realize a project inspired to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPjjxe0hF2A, I have studied motion 4 and motion 5,
but I don't have a long expeirnce as motion graphic designer and therefore I dont have clear how to achieve that,
first of all, can I work just with motion 5 ? anyone of you uses after effects? what are the atvantage compared to motion? what would you use to realize this project?

motion graphic was accomplished way before such apps, or computers were involved with it.

the one you can manage to handle.
what does AE helps you to create such a 'simple' animation as mentioned in your OP, when you don't know to use it? this example of Kinetic Typography is built with AE - a) because Photoshop and Illustrator are highly integrated and b) 'cause the maker can handle it with awesome skills! i dare to say, could be done in Motion5 too

Video and Graphics Layer

i want to display an video in the background and some images and text in the graphics-layer?

Do not use timelines as menu transitions. Timelines are placed in a different physical location on the disc, often times AFTER your main video. So when you are on the menu, the laser is reading in one spot of the disc, then for the transition, it might have to seek all the way to the other side of the disc, causing delays and possible blackness while is searches.
For my Pro Motion Menu Kits which incorporate advanced motion menus created in after effects, I use a different process.
For the intro sequence, you obviously can't use a menu transition as there is nothing to transition from. The better method is to use a MENU as the intro sequence. Create a blank menu and set the intro animation as the motion background. Set it's end action to the main menu, and make sure you configure it to not loop. This will physically place the intro video with the other menus on the disc when it is built, and minimize any delays caused by seeking.
As for the transition, you can use the menu transition feature of encore. With the button selected, go to the transition tab under properties and set it to your transition animation asset. You can only select a single asset, so a good way to include audio with the transition is to create an after effects composition with the audio and video, then import it into encore as a dynamic linked asset, and use it for the transition.
If you want a complete walkthrough tutorial on how to set all this up in encore, I have created one for my Pro Motion Menu Kit products. It is freely available to anyone from the tutorial section of my site, and even if you aren't using my products, it can still be extremely helpful in how to implement custom motion menus using intros, moving backgrounds, and transitions that all seamlessly flow together.

Top Ten Things a Motion Graphics Artist should know...

As many of you regulars know, I'm writing a book on Motion. As well as the projects, this book has Interlude Essays - that is a couple of pages of writing on related motion graphics topics. For instance, one is "Where do I get my ideas?" another is "How to speed up Motion", etc...
I thought I'd include one on Things a Motion Graphics Artist should know. And I'm open to suggestions. Got any tips? What do YOU think a Motion Graphics Artist should know? Please contribute as many or as few as you like.
I can't credit you in the book, but I will thank you en masse...
While this thread is not strictly within the confines of the technical troubleshooting this forum exists to serve, I hope the Powers That Be don't pull it, because it could be an excellent resource for all who frequent this forum.
Many thanks,
Patrick

Yes - that reminds me of a quasi-questionable practice I sometimes employed as an editor of music videos that I and other editors called "The Velcro Dog".
It goes back to the fact that you never wanted to turn in a "perfect" edit on the first pass. In fact, I could count on one hand the number of times that I turned in an edit that the record label said "perfect, don't change a frame". Maybe it's human nature to justify their jobs, but inevitably, those in charge of approval would have to make some comment, request some change...
If your cut was perfect, often these changes would be for the worse, so sometimes it paid to add an obvious flaw to the edit that wasn't hard to change - thus the Velcro Dog, something bad that could be easily torn off. It might be as simple as a line that was out of sync - or maybe a shot where the lead singer had his hair in his mouth, or a story shot that was out of place. This gave those in charge something to focus on that you could fix without causing the cascading problems that more complex changes might require.
It was also something that you could change without problem if no one picked up on it.
But WOE to you if someone in the chain of Artist, Video Commissioner, Management, A&R, Marketing, etc... decided they actually liked your little velcro dog... Then you had to live with seeing it on TV like that.

Mac Pro for motion graphics and animation

Dear all, after 2+ years of dreaming about getting a mac pro, i have finally come to the stage where i can't not have one. This is a big step for me and probably the biggest purchase i have made in my life yet, so therefore i really want to get everything right.
I would like to know if anybody can recommend me what spec mac i should get, ie in terms of graphics cards, processor and displays. I need to be powerful yet i would like to try and save as much money as possible.
I will be using it predominantely for design, animation and motion graphics and using programs such as :
Creative Suite
After Effects
Cinema 4D
Final Cut Pro
your help is much appreciated
thanks

Hi Vector,
The folks at Barefeat must have asked this same question before, because they raced five Mac Pros out of all three families. The results are about what you might expect: the biggest speed advantage comes from having 8 cores as opposed to 4. After that, the advantage of 3.2GHz cores over 3.0GHz, or 3.0GHz over 2.8GHz is far less pronounced.
It's hard to recommend exactly the "right" system for your needs, but going by the above results, the best cost-to-performance ratio will be found with the baseline 2.8GHz 8-core Mac Pro. Cut back to 4-cores and you lose a fair bit of power; scale up to 3.0GHz and you gain relatively little by comparison.
For your video card, you can probably suffer with the entry-level Radeon 2600 XT. The GeForce 8800 GT is more of a gaming card, and the Quadro FX 5600 card isn't something you want to break the bank on unless grabbing a Quadro is the whole reason you're buying a Mac Pro. Displays aren't my speciality, so I'll defer to the experts. That link is to the final page presenting the victors in a long article, which may be worth a full read if you're interested.
Finally, cram as much memory into it as you can. You can (almost) never have too much memory. 4GB should probably be your bare minimum for video-intensive work.
Hope that helps. As long as you go 8-core, you're nearly immune to over/under-estimating your requirements. If you find you need more power, chances are you'll get it by tossing in some more memory. If you find that you've got too much, then you'll at least be future-proofed for longer.

Want to add Video and Graphic Card to my computer system

I Notice that one of the users' in the Apple discussion Board is Listed, (AndyO) he has help me many times in the Past and was succesful in my problrm solution, would he might be able to help me with this?
I had Purchased the Game Spore Creature Creator the Starter Kit which is just the Creature creator game and not the actual game itself. I wasn't able to install the the game on my computer because I don't have the right or not at all Video and Graphic Card install on my computer. I had Contacted the Company "EA" that puts out the Game Spore, this is what they said what the game requirements are: The minimum system requirements for Spore and Spore the Galactic Edition for Mac are as follows:
* Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
* Intel Core Duo Processor
* 1024 MB RAM
* At least 345 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (260 MB for the Trial Edition)
* Video Card - ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: an Intel Integrated Chipset GMA X3100 or Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
Supported Video Cards
ATI Radeon(TM) series
* X1600, X1900, HD 2400, HD 2600
NVIDIA GeForce series
* 7300, 7600, 8600, 8800
Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
* GMA X3100
and that I need to upgrade my system. Basically I need; ATI Radeon 1600 or NVIDIA Geforce 7300 and a INTEL Extreme Graphic Video Card-GMA X3100, in order to be able to install and play this game. Since I already have this game, I would like to be able to upgrade my computer system which brings me to ask; does somone know or refer me to a web site that has and sells these Video and Graphic Card and supports for the Mini Mac?
Plus they say that I need a 1020 of MB of Ram, I Have already found that 1024 MB of Ram but I just need those Video and Graphic Cards for my computer system. I am adding my computer system Profile to my discussion board to show you what I have on my system, would you be able to tell me if I would be able to add these Video and Graphic card and the memory or Ram 1024 to my computer system?
Note: Here is a web site that I am looking at to add the 1024 MB of Ram to my computer system:

Hi Trisha,
The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

How to view motion graphics from websites on iphone 4 ?

07/27/2013
Hello, can anyone provide information as to viewing motion graphics from websites on iphone4 ? -- when I view a website; I can see still pictures, words, numbers, colors ,etc... EXCEPT for the motion graphics. The motion graphics does not show-up at all from the websites on the iphone4. The websites that I am having prolems viewing are the ones that are animated (cartoon-ish) in motion.
Example: I can see an animated still picture of a man driving a car, but; I cannot see the animated motion graphics of the man actually turning the steering wheel, moving his head while looking in different directions while driving, the car wheels turning, etc... on the same website being viewed - the animated motion graphics will not show-up at all on the iphone4.
I would like to know if there is a mobile app from the apple archive, or any type of mobile software to install to be able to view the motion graphics and, if so; I would appreciate any feedback pertaining to this matter.
Thank You.

I actually purchased GoodReader because it is easy to transfer files without iTunes. I dislike the file sharing through iTunes. You can use a Mac or PC. Once I was in the app I clicked the "Wi-Fi" symbol which brings me to "WiFi-transfer." It will show this --
"WiFi status: ON
Use one of the following addresses exactly as you see them
1. IP-address: http://192.168.0.98:8080 <-- Local LAN address the iPhone is broadcasting on.
2. Bonjour-address http://Myname-iPhone.local:8080"
All you have to do is type one of those addresses into your browser. (Safari, etc.)
It will take you to a page that has iPhone Connection and a list of options. You can either create a new directory within the application or use an existing one to upload a text file. It's rather simple, you just select "Choose a file to upload" > Select your file > Press upload > Start the app and see your text/pdf/whatever file.
You can also connect to a server to download a text file, browse the web, or enter a url. I see it also has an ICloud folder which I'm not sure if it integrates with Apple's iCloud or not, I think it does. I'm not affliated with the app and I'm not saying you have to buy it, I'm just a happy user.
If you don't want to buy this app let me know I'll keep looking for a free or cheaper one for you if you want.
