Scan line write-on effect like this...

I am looking to create a scan-line "write on" effect like this.
Patrick Sheffield originally posted the thread [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=634451&#634451].
I downloaded the projects but they didn't do exactly what the movie did.
This is the effect I am after:
[Scan line Movie|http://www.pistolerapost.com/viewing/analysis1.mov]
Thanks,,

On the movie, the scanlines come down line by line, whereas in the project file, each line comes on randomly.
Also, on the movie there's a very nice brief glow going from side to side as each line is laid down.
When the scan lines go down they reveal an image. I guess you're using an image mask for that?
I looked for the project file that corresponds to the movie, but I couldn't find it.
There were two in the zip file: scanlinescreen , scanlinetext
^(ps: thanks for the "fun with" series - they've been helpful)^

You are exporting field v_fname, not importing it. The field v_fname isn't for the file name anyway; field p_fname is for the file name. You also need to pass your file name to the function module GUI_DOWNLOAD for it to work.

Page turn effect like this ... ?

Is it easy to do create a book page-peel effect [like this|http://www.outerspace-software.com/bixphotobook.html] ?
I am toying with the idea of physically getting a book with blank pages and then videoing in real time the pages peeling back attached to a piece of cotton.
The page peel effects in FCP are not useful since the page peels then floats off the screen.
The example above (bix photo book) is OK but looks a bit unreal to me and I don't like the page transparency.
Any ideas?

exactly, you can do a four corner pin track. This then distorts the image as the page turns. However it may not look exactly convincing if the page bends a lot and you'd expect the page to bend as well. Ideally you would want to use some sort of 3D mesh to bend the footage but that is not available in M3. Thats not to say you couldnt do something close that works, just depends what you want to achieve.

How to create a text effect like this (see example)

Hello everybody,
i would like to create a text, pretty similiar to this shirt: http://www.kuhvet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/OKC-Conference-Champs-LR-T-shirt.jpg
So, the stext hould appear in 3D (kind of) and also should have a golden and silver outline. Also the shadow should drop in front of the text.
I hope that's possible and not that hard to create? I'm a beginner to Illustrator (CS4).
Thanks a lot for your help
Warm regards from Germany
Florian

I would not waste time using AI 3D tools to accomplish this effect. It is 1 point perspective. Start with your front text, establish a horizon line and vanishing point, scale and duplicate the text using the vanishing point as your center of scaling, then connect the points to create the "extruded effect" between the to sets of text. You can outline the text to accomplish this.
For the reflected text, as John suggested, duplicate your text and distort it. Read about "Envelope Distortion" meshes. These will keep your distorted text fully editable, if that is a concern.

Help me write a forum like this one

Hi,
This forum software (jive) seems to be excellent. I was trying to write one using jsp and beans and didn't get very far. Can anyone point me to any resources on the web that would serve as good examples ?
Thanks in advance.

I went to globalleafs.com and took a look at their only jsp entry - called netpals. Is that what you were referring to? Well, it wasn't quite what i wanted. So let me make clear again what i want - i want a sample of a discussion forum (like jive )
I asked jivesoftware if i could take a look at their source code but havent got any response so far.
can u help me please ?

Create a similar effect like this one

I need to create a similar effect as in this link I provided.
Basically want
movement, a light flash or a little spark every once in a
while. Maybe
someone can point me to a similar tutorial or something. My
thought is to
have a subtle effect in the background of my site to give it
a little flare.

How to read and write the data like this(is JSON?)?

i have some data like below(is json?),how to write them into

Thank you very much!

You need to parse it and then insert the records into your
database.
Take a look at
CFJSON it is a JSON
serialiser and de-serialiser.
Once you have converted it to native CF datatypes you can
loop through it and insert it into your database.

How would you make an effect like this?

Hi! I'm new to the forums, but hopefully it's ok if I start this new discussion. I'm very new to Photoshop as well (newbie).
Here is the image: http://sffbookreview.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/life-of-pi-banner.png
How would you make the image on the right - with the watercolor painting crop effect of the tiger? Also, how would you make the font on the left gradually turn to orange?
Thanks! Your help is much appreciated.

Hi there,
Here's a really quick tutorial on how to add the mask and gradient text over the image of a tiger.
Masking the Image
1) Open your image of the tiger. There should be two layers in your layers panel: the image and a white background.
2) With the tiger layer selected, click on the icon marked below in the layers panel to create a layer mask.
3) Being sure you have the mask you just created selected, paint with black using the brush tool to mask out the image. In your layers panel, if you look at the mask icon, you will see the areas where you were painting (on the canvas) change to black. Use a variety of brushes to recreate the effect in your example image.
Creating Text with a Gradient Effect
1) Use the Type Tool to create your basic text and reposition it on the page with the Move Tool.
2) In the layers panel, control click on the type layer and select Blending Options.
3) In the dialog box that opens, check the Gradient Overlay box and click on the "gradient overlay" text to move to the gradient options. Adjust the angle of the gradient, then click on the colored bar to select the colors you want. Click OK on each dialog to close them.
Final result:
I hope this helps, and please let me know if you need any more assistance.

Best way to make a burn out effect like in this film?

I am trying to figure out how to make the same kind of film burn out effect like this short film has in the beginning.
Check out the beginning of this short film. The yellow/red burn outs that are on the first couple of clips, what is the easiest way to make them in Motion (or FCP)?
I've been fumbling a bit with the "Cool" emitter in Motion, but can't get the same feel.
Please give me some tips, if you can.
Oh and here is a link for the short film I am referring to:
http://frenchquarterfeatures.com/movies/eighteen_seconds.640.mov
Thanks in advance...

The effect emulates fogging of the film, as if someone opened the camera before the film had been taken up onto the reel or into the magazine.
I'd download that clip, convert it to a useable format and play with keying filters till I got mostly the flashes. Then I'd start adding masked layers and shapes to fill in the rest or to cover up residual hunks of the film's stars. Precompose or render. This will give you a place to start. Use it to blend in a moving red-yellow image.
Or look at ARTBEATS site and see what they've got for film burn effects (not Ken Burns effects). I'll be tthta's where this filmmaker got his/hers.

How to make color tone like this?

I'd like to find out how to make similar "color tone" effect like this:
http://www.horror-movies.ca/watermark.php?filename=poster_THE_SITTER_2D_ORING.jpg
I'm talking about those striking "artificial" skin tones you can see on many movie posters (or advertising/fashion posters). For example:
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/curious_case_of_benjamin_button_ver3.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/tropic_thunder_ver4.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/twilight_ver6.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/*****_slap_ver7.html
http://www.impawards.com/tv/posters/fringe_ver9.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/tv/posters/dexter_ver2.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/hellboy_two_ver2.jpg
I don't know how to describe it (sorry, english is not my first language), but I like the way the color on the skin affects only certain tones. I hope you understand what I'm talking about :) I tried to play with layer blending (BW + color balance of shadows)... but I never manage to do something like this. I suppose it has to be a common technique, sice I see it on so may posters and photos. Does anybody have some advice? Thanks!

Alan,
The links you posted seem to suggest the effect you are after may be the result of luminance masking, perhaps coupled with a knockout layer to protect the eyes. Try this procedure:
(a) Duplicate the background layer CTRL + J (and perhaps rename it Blur as that helps to emphasise the purpose of the new layer).
(b) With the new Blur layer active, from the Menu bar choose Filter/Blur/Gaussian blur about 20% for starters each image may require slight variations to this amount.
(c) Turn off the visibility of the new Blur layer and select/make active the Background layer.
(d) Go to Channels Palette and CTRL click on the Red channel. Return to the Layers Palette. Turn visibility of new Blur layer back on and select it.
(e) With the new Blur layer active, click the Add layer mask button at the bottom of the Layers Palette this adds the Luminosity Mask to this layer and results in seeing the Gaussian blur now only inside the lightest (50%) details of the image. Now change the Blend Mode of this layer from Normal to Overlay. If the effect seems too strong, try the Soft Light blend mode which is less severe. If you want a greater effect than Overlay delivers, try Linear Light. You can back off the effect of any of these blend modes with the Opacity slider but that would, I think, also back off the amount of Blur, which may or may not (depending upon the image) lessen the overall effect you are aiming for.
(f) Next comes the Knockout Layer (KL) to remove the effect of these Blur and Blend Mode edits from the eyes. The KL must be on top of the Blur layer, so make the Blur layer active and then add a new transparent layer above it - CTRL + Shift + N and name it Knockout.
(g) On the new KL, select the eyes with the Elliptical Marquee Tool (select too much rather than too little reason follows later) and fill the selection with Black ALT + Backspace (provided Foreground Colour in Tools Palette is Black). Then deselect the eyes CTRL + D.
(h) Bring up the Layer Style dialog box (LSDB) by double clicking on the icon for the KL. In the LSDB change Knockout from None to Shallow and reduce Fill Opacity from 100 to zero % and click OK which dismisses the LSDB. That is it you have now eliminated the effects of the Blur layer on the eyes using the Black holes on the KL.
(i) To remove any excess eye selection, you use the Eraser tool (set to about 50% hardness) and paint around the edges of the eyes with the Eraser tool what this is doing is reducing the size of the holes in the KL and bringing back the effects of the edits from the Blur layer.

How do I do these cool animated swirls like this YouTube link?

I've been a video editor for several years but I'm finding myself having to "dip my toes" into the motion graphics world (our mg guy recently moved away).
I have a client that is wanting me to animate some "swirlee" effects like this Zappos commercial on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxBWfqDAQkg
I don't think I'm going to have to get into masking (I'm not going to need the swirlies to go behind objects). But I was wondering if I can apply behaviors in Motion or is that all done with animated masking? I already have the swirlies supplied in Illustrator files. I just need to know the best way to animate them.
If I can purchase any templates to use as well, that would be cool.
Thanks very much in advance!!

That's a nice twist on what has become a cliché technique.
I may have imagined it but there seem to be two or more frames where a fast lighting effect has been added to suggest the graphics are glowing. Nice touch, if it's really there.
There are dozens of pre-animated swirly things in Motion's Library. Pretty easy, as Andy says, to bring them in, coloroize them, add some leaves, flowers, shapes, or stars (all are there for you in the Library) and lay these out as 3D layers. What makes the Zap piece interesting, of course, is that the artwork passes around and interacts with the live action. Forget that stuff unless you have control over the shooting.
Side note: Never use the words new, latest, final, or last when naming your files.

Table created.
SQL> insert into my_table (dob) values( to_date('12-jan-1989', 'dd-mon-yyyy'));
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from my_table;
DOB
12-JAN-89
You can write a query like this
select dob + (level -1) dob
      , to_char(dob + (level -1), 'fmDay') day_
   from my_table
connect
     by level <= (dob + interval '25' year) - dob + 1;
