Reflection White effect in Motion 2?

Very new to Motion 2, I still have a greatt deal to learn. But I was wonder if there's a way to create the refection effects seen in iMovie HD, version iLife 6? I really like that effecta nd would like to be able to create similar effects in Motion. Can this be done? If so, can someone give be a step-by-step or point me in the general direction? Thank you!
Mark

Thank you Patrick, but specifically, I'm trying to figure out how I can create the 3D motion as created by the iMovie 6 "Reflection White (or black) theme. I can see, somewhat, how to create a reflection and have that reflection be 3D and move, What I can't figure out is how to create the perspective of the image, or movie, changing with the movement—e.g., appearing as if to slide along a path and shrink or grow as it moves along the X, Y and Z planes. As with the "Reflection" themes, pictures and movies and move and swing in 3D space. I'm trying to simulate that type of motion.
Thank you so much.
Mark

  • I am new to After Effects and Motion 5 and I have a question

    Hello there,
    I am currently working on a personal side project for a family member. She would like me to make a video with recorded audio and pictures from the 1920’s for my grandmother. I would like to give the parallax and 2.5D effect a try but as I never used After Effects or Motion before I am a little overwhelmed.
    I have about 80 images to animate. Right now I am in the ‘Photoshop phase’. I am going through each image and separating the foreground, mid-ground, and background, into separate layers and saving the .psd files to eventually bring into Motion 5 (or After Effects) and animate.
    After seeing this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrYyX3bHI8
    I really wanted to animate the images I had in a similar fashion. I really loved how they seemed to move and know that I can accomplish this appearance with the pin tool in After Effects. After seeing this video however, I continued looking into the 2.5d effect and found this movie for Motion 5:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxlm2nkVLA
    I bought Motion 5 because I thought the interface seemed more user friendly to newcomers (like myself), the effects were similar, and because I couldn’t afford to pay for After Effects every month.
    But now I am kicking myself. Motion 5 is lovely and I do like the camera effects but I don’t think I can accomplish the ‘puppet’ effect with it like I can in After Effects. Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a plugin for Motion 5? Can I send my .psd files into Motion 5, set up the timeline and cameras, save it, and then move it into After Effects and then use the pin tool to manipulate the images and layers?
    I have read that some say it is hard to move Motion files into After Effects? If this is the case, could I save the Motion file, open it in Adobe Premiere, and THEN open it in After Effects and play around with it?
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.

    2.5D is fairly easy to do in Motion... that's the good news. The bad news is: if you don't know what you need to do to accomplish it, it's practically impossible to do easily or well.
    The first problem to overcome is perspective, and the other problem is parallax.
    These two tutorials (by Mark Spencer) will give you all the information you need dealing with moving Photoshop Layers in Z-space. Even though the point of the tutorials is a "fly through", the same information applies to creating 2.5D. Just animate the camera laterally (sweep) instead of dolly.

    Under the Effects-Lumetri Looks-Desaturation choose a B and W effect. Then add the luma corrector from the Video effects-colour correction section. Adjust the brightness and contrast to get the effect you want.

  • How to get black and white effect in photos

    Hi There,
    I have always wondered how people get to add black and white effect in a photograph. Anyone with tips and/or videos to show how this is done?
    Thanks in advance.

    Start with a raw image for detail, you can adjust anything here especially shadow and highlight detail, the second button). You can then use the adjustment layer of black & white. Start with auto, but how pull the sliders around is different for each phot. If you still want to enhance certain areas I suggest color balance (under the black and white) for shad, mids, highlights.

    Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

  • Black & White Effect On Camera

    Hello
    I am new to iPhone Development. I am using UIImagePickerView and AVCaptureSession to Open Camera. I want to set Color Effect and black & white Effect on Camera.
    Is there any Code of Sample App?  Are there any suggested articles that I can read to learn more about my different options.  
    Please help, thanks!

    It is quite possible there may be a defect with your iSight camera (back side).  How old is your iPhone?  If you are more than 90 miles from an Apple Store you can call 1-800-APL-CARE and they can set up a mailed repair for you?
    Keep in mind a mail-in repair without having AppleCare on your phone may cost you to have it turned around quickly.  (Just buy the AppleCare for you phone and it should be fast)

  • Chapter Highlight Order in Reflection White

    I'm having very frustrating problems with the chapter button highlighting order on a DVD created using the Reflection White theme. I have two pages with 6 buttons on each page. Each pages use a different highlighting order and neither page uses the order that I want.
    Each page has 6 chapter buttons arranged in two rows of three. The buttons where correctly placed in left to right, top to bottom order. This is the highlight order which should be used. If I'm starting with the upper left button highlighted, pushing the right arrow button on the remote should highlight the buttons in this order: UL, UM, UR, LL, LM, LR, UL, etc.
    The problem is that the actual highlight order is very different. One page produces the order: UL, LM, UM, LR, UR, LL, UL, etc. The other page has this order: UL, LL, LM, UM, LR, UR, UL, etc. Obviously, this is very non-intuitive and inconsistent.
    (Note: U = Upper, L = Lower, xL = Left, xM = Middle, xR = Right)
    I've tried everything I could think of to correct the order. I've tried creating new submenus and dragging the buttons to it in order, copying the buttons to it in order, copying the buttons in an order which would put them in their current highlight order, then rearranging them, and even digging into the project file using PListEditor Pro. It seems like iDVD is probably generating the order automatically as it's encoding the menus, and that the length chapter names may be affecting the order. (The names on my disc are very specific and can not be changed.)
    Has anyone figured out how to get the chapter menu buttons in Reflection White to highlight in a logical order rather than something that seems, well, like a drunken stagger?

    The only solution I came up with was using the first theme page from Reflecton White. Then using portfolio color for the remainder theme pages. I too report the bug to Apple, there are a few other themes that work in the same fashion for example Reflection Black.

  • Lightning effect in Motion 2.0

    I have search far and near and cannot figure out how to create a lightning / electrical arcing effect in Motion 2. There are two clips (.MOV) of lightning in Motion but this is not what I need. I can mimmick this effect Photoshop, but those are all still shots. You lose the fluidity of a true arcing effect.
    Is there a plug in similar to After Effects available for Motion? Has anyone else successfully created this effect in Motion? Any direction someone can point me would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I tried a line and displacement map, but couldn't get any movement on it unless I cranked up the vertical scale and even then, it didn't warp the way I expected it. I'm not sure why unless it has something to do with the way Motion builds the line.
    So messing around, here's something I found that seems to work.
    I created a line and added a bloom to it. Then I added the fisheye filter to the layer the line is in. For more realism, 2 or more looks better. I position them and then add a wriggle behavior to the center parameter by right-clicking it and choosing wriggle. If I want the warp to look smoother, I add an average behavior on top of the wriggle.

  • I can't find a appropriate sound Effect for motion template.

    Hi,
    Like my title say I can't find a appropriate sound Effect for motion template. I am using the template that goes by SATIN and There I choose SATIN BLUE-MENU.
    In that Template we can see a blue Sheet flying by. BUt I am totally lost to get a nice sound for that. So far I could not find any sound for that. I never Worked with sound Effect. I appreciate any tip.
    What is better only sound or a music playing with it? What kind sound goes with it?
    Hope to hear from you all.
    Thanks

    I think you need to give us a little more information. Which program are you currently using? Soundtrack Pro, Motion, what? What does the Satin template do?
    It sounds like what you're looking for is a "whoosh" effect -- like maybe a gust of wind or something like that. In finder search for the word "whoosh" and then select whichever drive has your Apple loops. You'll find a plethora of whooshes.
    Of course that may not be what you're looking for. You'll have be be a little more specific with what the picture is that you're trying to add sounds to, and even then, it's still your artistic choice.

  • Is there a way I can export a video in the Black and White effect

    On Universal Access in the System Preferences there is that option to make the whole computer in Negative and when I use that on a video i've made it looks so much cooler but like it only stays like that if it is in black and white effect.
    Is there a way to make a video in the black and white effect even if that isn't on in Universal Access.

    Yeah but that's black and white i'm talking about white on black
    sorry for the confusion i didn't notice that till now.
    I wish it co uld look liek that because the negative I use in imovie looks really bad comapred to the white on black effect.

  • Keyframing Black & White effect?

    Has anyone had this problem?  I had a student who wanted the Black & White effect to fade in over the course of a 30 second clip in one of her projects.  She applied the effect, keyframed it in the Video Animation panel above the clip, let it render, and it played back perfectly in her Timeline.  When exported, the entire clip was black and white.  If she quit and then reopened FCP, the entire clip was black and white.  We deleted preferences, repaired permissions, and reapplied the effect, but the problem remained.
    Our workaround was to leave the Black & White effect applied to the entire clip, place a copy of the clip above the original, and fade the opacity of the copy.  That worked.  Anybody else with a similar experience?  Is this worth reporting as feedback?
    We're using FCP 10.0.9 in OS 10.8.5 on a 3.2GHz Intel core i3 iMac with 8GB of RAM.  The footage is AVCHD 1920x1080 shot on a Panasonic camcorder (can't recall which model) optimized to ProRes422.

    Yes, it's reproducible. It does not happen when you keyframe the effect use the amount value in the inspector.

  • I'm getting this choppy effect with motion, please help!

    Hi all.
    I'm animating photos with white borders in AE, like polaroids. It's basically a camera slow panning and tracking around them.
    Each time the camera gets closer, and pans appear to be faster, I get this choppy look caused by the sharp white borders.
    I have tried
    - Subtle Gaussian Blue
    - Enabling Motion Blur
    and while they help a little, the effect is still there. Is there another technique? Someone suggested to take into PPro and apply the anti flicker effect.
    Please help. Deadline today.

    There are things like critical panning speeds that you must be aware of. The lower the frame rate the bigger the problem. The FAQ section of this forum has a link to two articles that may help. One is for horizontal motion the other is for vertical. FAQ: Why does horizontal motion stutter (judder) in my movies, such as during pans?
    There is a lot of good information about all kinds of problems in the FAQ section. You'll find a link on the form homepage. After Effects FAQ List
    You could also be experiencing skipped frames during playback. The answer to that problem is also in the FAQ: FAQ: Why is my output file huge, and why doesn't it play back smoothly in a media player?
