Possible to do iPod commerical effect?

Hi
I've just started with iMovie '09, and have done some successful green-screen tests. What I'd like to do is 'wash out' just the foreground actor (to a black 'silhouette') image after green screen composition, without affecting the background.
This is basically the same effect they did in the iPod commercials from a few years ago- subject dancing turned into a silhouette on top of a green-screen background.
So ideally I'd like to be able to separate the foreground and background into separate 'layers' or something like that to only affect the keyed out foreground.
Is this possible?? If not, can someone point me to a relatively inexpensive editing tool that can do it?
Thanks loads

in Final Cut Express you could handle the two 'layers' of a green-screen recording to accomplish such an effect - 199$

    You haven't given us much to go on here.  What exactly are you doing and what exactly happens when you try?  Which specific version of each program are you using?  (Go to Help>About...)
    On a side note, a simple, brief thread title is all that's needed.  Something like "After Effects Issue" would be fine.  You don't need the full question there.

  • Is it possible for my ipod to harbor a virus?

    I understand that it cannot actually get a virus itself, but when I decided to sync the ipod to my PC  and finally update it (still at 4.2 :( ) , an icon appeared onto the taskbar saying dowload complete.  I looked at it, it told me it was itunes but it was not published by apple.  It described the download as a secure browser to go on certain websites or something like that... But anyways is it possible that my ipod transfered a virus to my computer.
    I've also heard to factory reset it, but, I can't without plugging it back in.

    Okay what you said about the permision part reminded me of accidentally clicking on an ad, and my blue notification screen came up (all notifications are off so it wasnt a message) and said something but since I was already tapping the screen to go somewhere else before the page loaded up, but because of that I hit one of its buttons and it went away without me reading it.  Would it still prevent it from storing things onto my ipod? 
    Sorry I don't mean to sound stupid I'm just not tech savvy.

  • Is it at all possible to move ipod music from a mac to a pc?

    ...without a CD burner on the mac?
    Here's the problem...
    My son wants to burn a CD of some of his ipod music. We had originally intalled the ipod on a mac. However, the mac disk is full, and we haven't been able to install an external cd burner.
    We have several pcs with cd burners, so I thought I could move the music over to the pc using the ipod. It did create a "shared" library, but you can't do anything with that but listen to it. I reformatted the ipod to pc format, but can't put the music back on the ipod.
    I should be able to reformat the ipod back to mac, then reload the songs on there, but unless I can free up enough space to load the cd burner software, I'm kind of out of luck?

    "is it at all possible to move ipod music from a mac to a pc?"
    Windows can't read the HFS+ file system that a Mac uses.
    If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

    SVP is what will be possible in the future to install iOS 7 in the iPod 4g?! there's he trying to make iOS 7 possible on the iPod 4g?! Thank you for your help
    Apple said that iOS 7 is of r5G iPod touch
    iPhone 4 and later
    iPad 2 and later.
    All the iOS devices compatible with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB
    There is no reason to believe iOS 7 will come to the 4G iPod.

  • Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    I had one game permanently just stop working, it usually does crash, but that last time it just went bad, I don't know the reason, I tried powering off iPod, relaunching game, but the game never worked again. I think it corrupted its own save file or some of its own data.
    Have you tried another game or app, do those work? If they do, then I guess you know where the problem lies, but if they all stop working, then what about apps, can apps launch?
    Lastly, apps from the app store are checked by Apple, so they are clean.

  • Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music

    I lost all my music and my itunes isnt reading that my ipod is hooked up to the computer

    Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music
    The answer to that is yes... Having the data on the device alone is a recipe for disappointment.

  • Is it possible to have a hover effect easing out on multiple images when hovering on others?

    Im trying to use four small images to create a large image by using a hover effect. However when i hover over an image for instance 3 of 4, after hovering over 1 and 2, number 1's ease-out effects snaps back to the background image, rather than continuing to ease-out. Which i do not want. Is it possible to have numerous ease-out effects working at the same time? Using CSS.

    Could you show us a bit more of what you've done so far?
    I'm not sure I understand the desired result.
    Can you put your files online somwhere?
    Thanks

  • Possible cause of ipod not being recognised in itunes

    Hi there from a first time poster
    I have had a problem that judging by posts here and various other forums a lot of people have had. I have found what may be a cause and would be interested to know if the same applies to other people with the same problem.
    Background first, and sorry i know this will be a long read:
    The problem is that itunes will not recognise your ipod (60gb ipod photo in my case). I had tried a number of things, including everything in this apple support article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 and various other things I found around the web. I even reinstalled Windows in the hope that it would help, but to no avail.
    I took the ipod to an Apple service centre in Sydney, they tested it and said it worked fine. After some more hair pulling i gave Apple support a call, but didn't get a lot of help due to my ipod being over 90 days old. The support guy did mention something about faulty USB ports though. My USB ports work fine with everything else I have ever plugged into them, but i got googling.
    It seems that motherboards using Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) chipsets are known for havin dodgey USB ports. This may only apply to older ones, not sure (my PC is about 3 years old). So i decided to bite the bullet in the hope of fixing by ipod paperweight and bought a USB PCI card. After installing the card the ipod worked perfectly with itunes first go, and has had no hiccups since.
    A few days ago I checked out a friend's PC who was having the same problem with her ipod... SiS chipset. Once again bought a USB card and installed it. The ipod has worked fine since.
    Please everyone don't rush out and buy USB cards in the hope of fixing this problem, but if anyone has i'd be curious to know if it also fixed their problem. After fixing the same problem the same way twice i was thinking that perhaps ipods may not be completely compatible with SiS chipset USB ports? If the same problem and solution can be identified as occuring more frequently perhaps there is some way to bring it to Apple's attention.
    OK there it all is, hope this interests someone out there. Thanks for reading, Steve
    Some PC   Windows XP Pro  

    hi Daniel!
    Could this confict be created by one of last weeks Critical Windows Updates? It seems to me that it could be because it seems many who have WinXP are suddenly all having the same problem.
    i've always been a bit concerned about that. (more so this week than ever before, since the noir household had their Outlook Express address book blown up by KB911567.) but i haven't seen many confirmed links between updates and itunes/ipod problems.
    this caused a few 1607s on software installs (because of the way it blew out Windows Installer on some PCs):
    Systems that have changed the default Access Control List permissions on the %windir%\registration directory may experience various problems after you install the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-051 for COM+ and MS DTC
    and SP2 broke some Firewire connections for some folks (although i believe that issue may have been patched in later updates).
    i still get a bit uneasy when an automatic update comes down the pipe, though ... and i try to keep an eye on the possibility.
    love, b

  • Best possible sound from ipod

    Hi does anyone know the best possible sound settings in iTunes under "import" section in MP3 format *That an iPod G5 can play?* in terms of kbps and sample rate.
    12' Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz 768MB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iPod G5 and iPod G2

    There's a good breakdown of formats and the quality of different bit rates in this two part article:

  • Is it possible for the Ipod 4th Generation to get IOS 7?

    Hello all,
    I was just going to ask is it possible for 4th generation Ipod Touch's to get IOS7? as many of the new iphones and ipod nano's have accessed this new software except this version of the Ipod.
    Please get back to me as soon as possible,
    thank you,
    From Amy

    No.
    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod. Not enough RAM
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Is it possible to make GLaDOS like effect?

    Hi there
    I must admit, that I never use Audition. It comes with the bundle, and I thtough, I would give it a go for a change.
    Would any of you happen to know, if it's possible to modify my sound files to make them sound like GLaDOS from Portal?
    I genereate my voice files using Mac's text-to-speach feature.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    regards
    Mona

    I must admit that I had to Google GLaDOS to hear an example--I'd never hear of her before your post.
    However, having had a listen, I'd have to say that at least half the effect is the actress speaking in an artificial sounding mechanical rhythm.  You'd think that this would make the text-to-speech idea--but, in fact, Apple are doing their best to make that sound real, NOT artificial.  This, plus the lack of control you'll have (you can't direct a Mac like you can an actress) makes the success of your project luck of the draw.
    As MusicConductor says, the electronic part of the effect sounds like it's done with some form of pitch corrector...Autotune or similar.  Audition has a built in pitch corrector but whether it'll give the same sound...and whether the sound will work without an actress speaking in the proper cadence...will be a matter of experimenting.

  • Is it possible to apply a stroke effect to a Photoshop image in After Effects?

    Hello,
    I've imported an image (a maze) from Photoshop into AE, and I want the image to appear as if it's being drawn in using the Stroke animation.  Is it possible to apply some kind of path along which the image can "fill in"--similar to how you can do this with text?  I didn't see a way to convert the image into a shape layer on which I could apply the Stroke effect, either.
    Thanks to everyone who's been so helpful in these forums--I've gotten a lot of questions answered by y'all!
    meredith

    Followed everything you said up until using the solid as a track matte, where I got a little confused.
    The effect worked more or less how I wanted when I set the starting value of the stroke at 100% and set track matte of my original image to Alpha Inverted.  When I did this, it gave the effect that the solid was disappearing to reveal the original image, if that makes any sense. 
    Is there anyway to adjust the brush shape?  Right now it is a circle, is it possible to change it into a square?  The circle brush gives an awkward edge line as the lines of the image begin to appear with the stroke effect.
    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to attach a sound effect to a photo?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is possible to attach an audio file sound effect to a photo i have in iphoto or any other application so that the file would play the sound when the photo is opened to view?
    Thanks Conor

    Conor
    Not with iPhoto, no.
    You could make a slideshow in iMovie and attach the sound using that.
    Regards
