How do you do it in iMovie? I have version 10.0.2

this 'effect' is basically two... :
• 'micro-edits' - 1 frame from clip#1, 1 frame from clip#2, repeat a few times.. done. A bit 'fiddly' in iMovie, but possible.
• 'artificial depth of field' - have a look:
first the cam is focussed on the girl with the long hair in the background; then, while recording, focus shifts to girl in foreground; then, in the micro-edits, they jump btw., the two focus-levels (plus shift the framing, but that is another story…)
to accomplish that in the same shot (which it is obviously in your demo), you'd need a tilt-shift-effect, or a software which allows to apply 'masks' to moving images to apply blurr to each layer.
=> no way to accomplish that in iMovie.
as Jim already stated: Motion5, or FCPX. And this is no 'push button/done' effect, needs lots of manual adjustments.

Video FX (special effects) keep blacking out my clips..

I just switched from using IMovie 08 to IMovie HD because I wanted more effects to further enhance my videos etc. However, one of the very odd things I've been running across is when I try to use the special effects (mainly the Earthquake/Electricity) i apply it to my selected tab, however, once it's done applying, a black screen just shows up with just audio and no video.
I've fiddled with the "Effect IN/Effect OUT" sliders, to align when the effect comes in and exits. and I've done it with other special effects (like flash) and the others work fine. It's just with earthquake and electricity that this black screen keeps showing up over and over again.
Please help this poor noob!

Hi
Can be so many things.
1. Often the free space on the internal hard disk (start-up disk) is less than
25Gb free. When down under 5Gb it goes really strange and very instable.
2. In iMovie up to vers. 6 there can be added plug-ins. They can be faulthy or
missmatch.
3. iMovie has a pref file - rather often this can be corrupted - deleting it forces
iMovie to make a new fresh error free one. (Easiest is to make a new account, log into
this and re-try - works in same way but lot's of more pref files will be made fresh.
To start with.

After Effects + Flash - Dynamic Content. How to integrate special effects.

Hello World of Adobe.
I am currently working on a project involving data driven dynamic content. This data is being incorporated into the video at runtime.
I have done these types of projects before, with success, and am looking to step up my game.
So the question:
How can I use effects such as - Blur, wiggle, distort, shatter etc. on dynamic content.
For instance:
John Doe puts his information into a text feild. That data is sent to flash environment, where it is "injected" into the video at the proper time and location. His name appears in fancy lettering surrounded by fancy environment factors. The name however, blurs in and out of focus.... maybe distorts a bit, then shatters.
An example:
These guys over at XMPie seem to have this figured out.
http://www.xmpie.com/PEVideo
"Starting with either an original After Effects movie or an existing template from an online library, the user can incorporate variable text, images, and other footage with exciting special effects like animate, wiggle, shatter, blur, warp, distort, and more"
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback.
So essentially there would be a After Effects project template on a server waiting for certain input data. Then it would be rendered and .flv encoded and sent to the video player.
Do I have that right?
This could be a problem given the render time, as my client wants the video shown soon after user data in inputted. But may be a solution for a more rich experience, not generated at run-time.
Are there any plugins or specific scripts you can point me to?
Also, regarding flash, if I were to export cue point data for these custom feilds, does flash support any additional effects... such as blur, opacity etc. That can be placed within the .flv metadata?

Videos and special effects... (?)

Okay I just found these.. they are great! But I was wondering... is anyone else having issues when filming either backlit or in the snow?
My vids are... as best described... "mucky" looking!
Is there not an option to increase the contrast or to 'vivid color' saturate the look?
Thanks...

Recording Video with Special Effects
You can record video with a variety of special effects on iPod nano.
Note: Video effects can only be selected before recording. iPod nano can’t add effects
to or remove effects from recorded videos. You can’t change video effects settings
while recording.
To record video with special effects:
1 Choose Video Camera from the main menu.
2 Press and hold the Center button to display the video effects palette.
3 Use the Click Wheel to browse the effects, and press the Center button to select one.
The viewfinder screen appears with the selected effect.
4 Press the Center button again to start recording with video effects.
5 Press the Center button to stop recording.
If you exit the Video Camera screen to play back your video, video effects are turned
off. To resume recording with a video effect, repeat steps 2 through 4.

Okay, why am I the only one who couldn't figure out how to get Special Effects with my video camera? The User Manual instructions: see pg 7, which is correct and pg 53-54 seem to be written incompletely; and (as I read them) indicate that with "Video Camera" on the screen, the center black button should be held down, thus providing the choices of Special Effects. WRONG. What does provide the array of Special Effects, is to select Video Camera (with the black center button), opening the lens of the camera. Before recording begins, hold the center black button down until the Special Effects are displayed, THEN select one and begin recording with it by quickly depressing the black center button. To end, again depress the black center button.

Special effect for wedding video

I just started using Final Cut Express 2. I recently shot a wedding video for my daughter and I want to put in a certain special effect. The Bride is sitting on one side of a bench and the groom is sitting on the other side of the bench. They are looking away from each other and they slowly turn and notice each other. Now the effect that I want to do is as they get up and walk toward each other and embrace I want their physical bodies to stay on the bench looking at each other, but I want their transparent (spirit) bodies get up from the bench and walk toward each other and embrace. Does anyone know if I can do this with Final Cut Express and if so how can I do it.
Thanks for the help
Bill

Well Bill, there are several ways to do this, but I'll give you the answer that first comes to mind. You'll want to set the same video track over top of itself then bump down the transparency to somewhere areound 50% on the top video feed. Now, because it's the same clip, you'll most likely have "time" to deal with, and by that I mean you run the risk of them getting up in both clips at some point, so what you might want to do with the video clip on the bottom layer is slow down the footage (right click the video feed, click speed and put it down to %60 or something that fits). The transparency of the top clip can be adjusted (I think I'm not at my regular computer right now) by double clicking the clip and going into one of the four tabs at the top and you should have a transparency slider.
FCE2 is an excellent editor to start off with, it can do much more than people give it credit I think. I'll be making the transition to Pro this winter.

Lost special effects sounds from video and no sounds available to reload.

the special effect audio is no longer available to insert into the video.
one of the special effects audio I inserted is no longer playing.

Try doing a reset on the iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

Video special effect (closeup of earth)

is there anything that that would give the illusion starting in a distant galaxy and traveling through space towards earth. And slowly as you enter earth to start seeing clouds and then have someone focus on top of a mountain? Not sure what this would be call or what type of special effect it would be? Any help is appreciated.

thanks for the responses. I never thought google earth could do this...
well a little more technical... You know how in some movies there is that illusion you are traveling and flying through space as you pass constellations and stars and get clear views of nebulas, asteroids, planets, etc... and then you come to earth enter it and fly through the clouds, an airplane or birds and then focuses on someone out on the street? Well that is what I would like to be be able to do. Give that illusion on a video.
The ideal would be to have two people on top of a mountain and as the camera gets closer for them to just simply be staring at it. Of course the footage to have started back like in the Leo Constellation.
I'll try google earth and experiment. Thanks all for the help. Hope it works and if not I'll be asking again.

Special effects - alpha gain

Can someone tell me how to use this special effect in QT pro 7? I want to make a clip from an imported avi, adding alpha transparency so I can use in Flash to make an flv video... Can someone explain to me?

It's not a special effect. It is a filter to adjust existing alpha channels that are inside your movie. It does not create an alpha channel from your source files. It merely enhances them.
I stopped using Flash a few years ago but the software has improved over time. But, being a muxed file format, they are difficult to edit (next to impossible) via QuickTime. Only the older, Flash 5 and lower, publish options can even be opened by QuickTime and the "stage" (area of action and motion) can't be made "transparent".
Exporting to .flv (Flash Video) is another issue. You'll need to create a "player" for it.
I've never used Poser but I'm sure you can find online forums to get more answers.
Seems to me that you would want to export from Poser to an image sequence that supports alpha channels. These files could be imported into QuickTime Pro at a frame rate you designate.
The Alpha Gain filter in QuickTime export to movie shouldn't be confused with the "green screen" (now mostly blue screen) effect used to mask the background.

I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO ADD SPECIAL EFFECTS TO MY MOVIES

Hi i am making a video using a green screen. I used to be able to double click my video on the project bin and choose a special effect such as romantic or black and white. Now i can no longer do this. It brings up video stabalization, audio and video where you can change the color and contrast but no special effects. I have tried both on project bin and importing. I can add special effects to text but not video. Could this be because of green screen effect or length of video?? This is before and after adding a background for the green screen. I am sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything on this.

Quit the Videos app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work - try this. Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

How can I get the special effects for my iMac?

I noticed one day while watching a You Tube video that someone had these neat special effects when they would click on something I could see a red (radar) circle like. Anyone know what I am talking about.

It's available in Photobooth, click on effects.
Also available in iChat video

Abstract moving effects in flash

Hi
I am new to flash.
I am now trying to make a flash intro for my web site.
I have downloaded some free templates for the same and examined them.
Some special effects, means colour abstrract moving effects or explosion like effects are in that 'fla' file.
They appear as movie clips. I can export them as flv also.
How they are created? Is it in flash itself or from some other programs like after effects or something?
I would like to create such effects for myself. If it is not in flash, then there is no point in wasting time figuring out the methods by myself.
Thanks.
Roy

Here are the effects or movie clips I am after. Is it created in flash?
Any info to the right direction.Thanks

Can't find iMovie special effects

I have found the advance tools, but it looks like it only affects color. The older iMovie had special effects like rain, lightning bolt, ... Where are they in '08?

There are no "effects" in iMovie 7.
You can still use your older iMovie 6 if you need them in your "video".

Special Effects - Dallas Theme

I am new to iMovie 09. I would like to create an opening clip for my home movies that looks like the opening of the Dallas TV show. Adding the clips and the music are the easy steps. How can I add the special effects of sliding the pictures and the three pane view when listing the characters?
Any help from anyone would be great. I am just not getting it.. The following is the Dallas Theme video clip from Youtube...

Welcome Dak991 to the iMovie boards ..
I dare to say: no chance with iMovie...
the vertical movin' split-screen as in your example contains video - so, you need two video tracks at last to accomplish such an effect (and a mask for size and borders) => easy with FinalCutExpress, NoGo with a 20$toy tool as iMovie
if you would use stills/pics/photo, you could probably 'fake' it with some combo of Ken Burns over a pre-produced, very wide still and greenscreen... but no movin' images...
