Question about special effects

I bought this programe yesterday so I could make pictures black and white and add a burst of color to one object but I cannot find out how to do this I have photoshop elements 12

One way is to be in the Expert mode in the pse 12 editor, select the Smart Brush Tool, set The Presets to Reverse Effects and chose Turn Your Image black and white in reverse.
Then paint on the part you want in color.
more about the smart brush tool:

A few questions about After Effects and CGI (Computer-generated Imagery)

Hi,
I'm very new to After Effects and this forum. But I have a few questions.
Now, I have recently started a movie project with my friend at a workshop. It's an action/sci-fi film and I'm probably going to be the editor and if needed in charge of visual and/or special effects. This sounds like a pretty big job for a noob, but we don't have a time limit with the project so there's time to learn.
But to my questions. I've thought of introducing CGI to myself (very simple of course). I've studied the use of blender, and I think I'll use it for the modelling and animation. But should Ae be used in any stage of producing the CGI or should everything be done in blender? If I do, how? Am I going in the wrong direction (wrong kind of software, etc.)?
Also, I'm not talking of fully producing the scene with the computer, but adding things like characters or items, maybe special effects.
I'm hoping for an answer to all my questions, but if you have just one or two answers I'm happy to hear them too. You're also welcome to correct me if I've misunderstood something. Please ask for further specifications if you need any!

1. Welcome to the family. AE is big, Really big. It's hard. Really hard. You have no idea how hard AE is to learr and to master.
2. No time limit is good but you will need some money.
3. This is not a Blender forum. You want to explore filmmaking, CGI and Blender-specific forums for that kind of assistance.
4. AE is for your compositing and special effects. But you will need to learn how both apps work before you can decide how to divide up your project. A comparison would be shooting your film. Are you using a DSLR? Do you know why? Or are you using a GoPro? Another example might be Apple's Final Cut Pro. You can edit audio in it but it's better to use an audio application. You can do some special effects in FCP but it's best to do complex stuff in Motion of After Effects. How do you know what app is appropriate Lots of experience. Lots of failures.
5. We were all new to AE and to vidoe editing and to special effects at one time or another. The user forums are not places to learn how to use these applications. You do that with tutorials and books and tons of time. Learning to use Blender to make a robot move is one thing. Making the robot into a character that compels the audience to care about it is quite another. Using AE to create a layer of clouds is one thing. Having those clouds react to the bow waves created by your flying robot as it approaches sonic speeds is quite another challenge.

Question about some effect

Hi,
I was trying to find out how it's made the effect from the website below, I mean the one from the packages in the middle of the website (Domain names, Email hosting ect), on mouse over the image is brighter, is it just a 'image swap' effect but how they put the text then? The second question is about the fade in and out of the text on the bottom of the website (Where is: Why choose Fasthosts) is it possible to do it in Dreamweaver or is this flash animation?
Website: http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/
Regards

Ok, Gary gave the right answer about the middle section. Case closed.
About the effect you're talking about at the bottom (I suppose it's the "Why choose Fasthost?" section), it's in JavaScript.
To answer the question "is it possible to do it in Dreamweaver", you can do it by using Spry effect: Select the element you want to animate and in the Behaviors panel, select Effect and then the Appear/Fade (or Blind, which is similar). Enter the settings, and you have a Fade In effect (you may need to change the event, for example to use onLoad instead of onClick).
You can go further (for example, to have many sentences like the other website does) by looking at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/htmlpanel/html_panel_two.html
If you don't want to use Spry, other JavaScript libraries (like jQuery) surely supports that.
Also, you can look at their code...:

General but very urgent question about After Effects...

I registered for an online course with my college called "Motion Graphics."
The class description states that the course teaches Adobe Flash and Adobe After Effects,
and requires the "Classroom in a Book" textbooks for both applications.
Part of the class description says, "Students will learn how to manipulate text, produce simple animations,
incorporate audio and video, and learn the necessities of Action Scripting."
I don't know much about After Effects; I signed up for the class to learn Flash because I am interested in using it
to create games, mobile apps, and embedded web content. I have no interest in making flash movies.
After the course opened up today online, it says only the After Effects textbook is needed,
and that the Flash textbook is not required because Flash has been "phased out" of the course.
I have been intending to take the ActionScript course after this completing this Motion Graphics course.
This Motion Graphics course is actually a prerequisite for the ActionScript course.
Does that even make sense considering Flash has been "phased out" of the course?
As I said, my intention was to learn Flash and move on to learning ActionScript for the purpose of
creating games, mobile apps, and embedded web content. Should I even be bothering with this class?

I contacted the course instructor about the situation, to which she replied:
"So sorry, summer was the last time flash would be taught. Advanced Flash, after this semester, will not longer exist either.
It will be renamed "Advanced Motion Graphics" however, the number for the DIG class will remain the same.
It will only cover After Effects, as flash can no longer work with creating many "apps" and other applications do not except flash.
If you want to take a flash course, maybe the college offers a weekend course, maybe?
Classroom in a book is a great book to learn on, so if you want, you could keep the textbook and learn it on your own.
Again, sorry for your disappointment, but this class will only cover after effects."
What does she mean by "It will only cover After Effects, as flash can no longer work with creating many "apps" and other applications do not except flash."?
Why would she say this?

Quick Question about fade effect

Quick Question:
If I wanted to add a Fade Effect from one state to another
when a button is pressed.
How would I do that within the code?

var fader:Fade = new Fade(targetUIComponent);
fader.duration = 1000;
fader...;
fader.play();
or listen for currentStateChanging event and write the same
similar code.
or define transitions from one state to another like:
<mx:Transition id="toOneOnly" fromState="*"
toState="OneOnly">
<mx:Sequence id="t1" targets="{[p2]}">
<mx:Iris showTarget="false" duration="350"/>
<mx:SetPropertyAction name="visible"/>
<mx:SetPropertyAction target="{p2}"
name="includeInLayout"/>
</mx:Sequence>
</mx:Transition>
Hey,
I would like to use the "transition from one state to
another", but if you can explain each part for me that would be
helpful.
If you can comment on each line of that code that would help
thanks

Question About Title Effect

Using only the titler in Premiere Pro CS5 (no After Effects), would it be possible to have titles fade in, from left to right, a line at a time, and then fade out from left to right a line at a time?
If so, how would this be accomplished?
TIA!

Create a separate title for each line of text. Use the Linear Wipe effect to bring each line on, and each line off. Add some feather so soften the edge.

Questions about After Effects CC (12)

Went ahead and subscribed for the full monty. First startups produced a shader error about ray tracing. Reboot of the MacBook and that went away. However, I am still not getting multi cpu capability in warp stab. I have gone into preferences to enable multi cpu and 8 cpus are reported which is what I expect to see for my 15" MacBook Pro Retina. What do you suggest?

Question about special characters in XML documents

Hi,
I need to create some XML documents based on documents containing elements containing strings containing accentuated and special characters such as �� or Asian characters.
I have found the following code claiming that XML documents created by the xformer will have a utf-8 format:
// Write the DOM document to the file
Transformer xformer = TheTF.newTransformer();
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");and I have found the InputSource object to be used to read UTF-8 XML documents:
InputSource in = new InputSource(new FileReader(filename));
in.setEncoding("UTF-8");Is this enough to make sure that accentuated and Asian characters (or any other characters) will be converted properly when creating and re-reading the XML document? If one of my elements contain the following text '��33445tata', will the string remain the same when re-read from the XML? Do I need more code to make sure that all conversion will be performed properly and transparently? If yes, can one provide an example?
Thanks!

Hi Dr.Clap,
Thanks for your answer, but I am not really sure I understand you. I have performed a test to generate a simple document containing one element. An attribute containing some special characters is added to the element. The element text also contains specials characters.
When I generate the XML into a byte array input and print the content, I get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?><UTF8TEST BIBI="��ii��">tre33��</UTF8TEST>When I parse the document, and print the result, I get:
-- Begin of Parsing
Element Name = UTF8TEST
Attribute Name = BIBI
Attribute Value = �ii��
Found text : tre33��
-- End of Parsingwhich is correct. I am worried by the ��ii� ��-like characters generated in the XML. Should I be worried or shouldn't I? Should I convert these into something looking a more like ASCII, or is this fine?
I am including the code of my example (excluding imports):

Questions about After Effects CC (12.0.1)

Having now licensed AE, I got some errors reported due to ray shading. Reboot stopped that. Then I get random errors during app startup at the cleaning up ray tracing step. And, still no improvement on warp stab performance. I need some guidance here. Thanks...

I am having the problem in AE, I tested PP to see if the problem existed there and it did not. In the PP case, it appears that PP executes the warp stab itself rather than farming it out to the Analysis Server in a separate process.
Problem may very well be with Mavericks but the net result is that an interaction between Adobe software and Mavericks is causing a problem that your customers will fault Adobe for.
However, more information for you. It appears only to be a problem with a sequence that I drag and drop from PP to AE (dynamic linking). If I import the PP project into AE using File->Impot->Adobe Premiere Pro Project, warp stab runs with Adobe Analysis Server at 100% CPU and completes in a reasonable amount of time (20 minutes). Using dynamic linking I started warp stab last night after my last post and four hours later it was 50% complete and AAS was running around 10% CPU.
I was hoping for a workaround, but it now seems that I am informing Adobe of a potential problem that a bug report needs to be filed on.
Thanks for pursuing this with me. I am posting my prefs you requested next.

Question about EAX Effect: voice chan

Hi, I have two sound cards I bought recently. Sound Blaster Audigy LS, and Sound Blaster 24-Bit Li've!
Neither of them have the option of changing my voice when I talk. Which sound cards come with this option? Is there anyway I can download an update to my EAX to allow me to use the voice changer? Thanks.

Okay, I read that all the Sound Blaster cards that have EAX 4.0 Advanced HD have this option. Thanks.

Special effects editing question for iMovie '09

Hi,
I understand that iMovie '09 doesn't support many (any?) add-on software packages for special effects editing.
Meanwhile, I'm editing some sports clips in iMovie '09,, in which I'd love to have a "spotlight" on a player, (where the other action/background is dimmed), or use an arrow to point at a player---that sort of thing.
Is there a way to---say, do this edit in iMovie HD, or iMovie '06, with special software, then re-import it back into my iMovie '09 project?

Ziatron,
Thanks for your reply. When you say you use iMovie '06 with iDVD 09 all the time---can you explain further? I guess I go back to my original question---Would iMovie '09 "accept" the edit done in iMovie HD or iMovie '06?
I do like the organizing layout (boxes with titles) much better on the previous versions, as well as some more detailed audio editing---but I'm grudgingly moved on to iMovie 09, and have already loaded a lot of my material (and keyworded them) into iMovie 09. I think I'm going to stick it out with this project.
Thanks in advance for any further advice you can share.
TJ

About a Special Effects Request Thread

Do we have any threads for requests on special effects? If not, I believe that would be a great idea.
Some of you may disagree but that's your perception.
It will allow Novices like me to get the feel of things are done when adding our effects.
What do you all think?

There you all go again. You are misconcieving what just said. Perception is perception that is all there is too it. I wrote and I am pretty clear about what I ask.
Again LaRhonde, No. I am busy and that's it I am busy. I have a son and a fiancee, which means is I can't finish up.
I just got recently sidetracked having to put my 4 year old son into school which is a pain in the rear.
In my community it is a task to put him into school due to the way the Governor runs Louisiana.
Also, again and I don't really care how many years of experience you have or anyone for that matter. Good for you.
Then you said. "there you go right there "referring to me not finishing up as to repoint out that you are correct about your judgement.
Again you are not a psychic. You don't know what I am doing every minute of the day. Also, for the record, I am still doing the tutorials. Just right now other stuff came up.
Secondly, I am new here and I don't like the hospitality that is going on. If any of you are professional as you claim to be, you should be helping me out in a professional manner.
Mylenium and Andrew Yoole cleared a little bit about helping me and we dropped it.
Let me put this in very lamen terms for you all to understand. I made a request idea for the rest of the community, "not me."
The next time you all see my screen name while I make a request, or a request that is similar to my other posts and you all have the craving to make a judgment reply to my posts. Don't reply to my posts. If you all are going to be helpful next time please be helpful but do so without judging my posts I make, otherwise I DON'T want to hear it!
