Special Effects only at given points

I have a clip 00:00:20 in length and need to include a special effect (posterization) from only 00:00:10 through to the end. I've tried using Markers, etc., to isolate these first nine seconds from being posertized as well but to no avail. How is this accomplished?
Thank you!

Another possibility is to first apply the filter to the whole clip (without first splitting it), and then move the left bar in the graph area, just on the right of the filter name, in the Filters tab of the viewer.
When the cursor is on the bar it becomes a double vertical bar with 2 opposite small arrows...
Then you can drag that bar to the right to delay the application of the filter (the same may be done with the rightmost bar, defining the end of the application of the filter - their default position obviously are at the start (IN) and the end (OUT) of the clip).

How do I get more effects in my action box? I am only showing a few, like BOTTOM BORDERS, LOSE WEIGHT AND SPECIAL EFFECTS. That is all. The turotials I've checked into all show a long list of effects in the actions box. If anyone could help, I appreciate

How do I get more effects in my action box? I am only showing a few, like "Bottom Borders, Losing Weight, Resize and Crop, and Special Effects. And they do not list but a few effects. When I have watched the tutorials, they are showing a long list of effects in the action box. (with a side space bar) I do not. When I have clicked on the little arrow at top, and clicked "Load Actions", a box comes up, but it is blank,saying "no items match your search". I'm lost! If someone could help, it would be much appreciated! I would like to start using this.
Thank you.

How to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?

how to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?
kindly recommend me any best one and tel me step by step how i will add more plugins n filters

A Plug_in normally come with an installer or install instructions. Check the documentation for the plug-in you trying to install. It sounds like you don't know what plug-ins you want to install. In that case you don't need to install any. At some point you may read about a plug-in and what it can do and feel you have a need for it. Then you will have a reason to install a plug-in that is not installed by default. There may also be a cost involved most worthwhile plug-ins are not free.
Adobe Optional Plug_ins downloads are Plugins Adobe want to remove from Photoshop and no longer install by default. Also at some point in time these will no longer install into the current Photoshop for Adobe will remove feature or interfaces the use. For example the CS5 optional plugins will install in Windows CS6 perpetual version 13.0.1.3 but not in Subscription version 13.1.2 or perpetual Mac version 13.0.6 fot its 64bit only and the Mac CS5 optional plug-in for Picture package is only a 32bit plug-in.
You will need to keep and maintain old versions of Photoshop if Adobe remove features you use in new versions of Photoshop.

Special effects (without 3rd party plugins)

Hi,
So, I am now happy with time manipulartion (using Twixtor), workflow for my project (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4728201#4728201) and the new PC hardware that we have. I am now coming to the point where the few actual special effects we want for out project need to be investigated. Most of the project will be Green screen compositing work of our characters in their sets, and I am pretty comfortable with creating space scenes in AE - there are hundreds, if not thousands of tutorials on that one - and some of the scenes will have them walking around "real life" environments. The bulk of the effects I forsee now, will be Fire, Smoke, Clouds and rocks.
Fire and smoke, I am busy looking towards either recodring our own footage, or purchasing footage from Video CoPilot or someone - my actual qustion is, can I create realistic looking rocks in AE without any third party plug ins? Say for instance, a volcano erupts, and I want rocks blowing and falling around - can this be done believable without a dedicated 3D program? If so, does anyone have a link to some tutorials on it, or even just an idea of where I can start?
Thanks guys,
Pierre

Hi Guys,
thanks for all the replies - once again (and I guess I knew this before I posted the question - but thought that squeezing my eyes shut and clipping my heels together might allow a different outcome) I see that the answer is completely dependant on what it is I want After Effects to do for me. I have been in the IT industry for many many years now, but never have I come accross a piece of software quite as versatile and far ranging as After Effects! I am learning every day, and enjoying every moment of it (although it starts getting a liitle overwhelming and scary at times). I am going to spend this week runnign through trapcode tutorials, so that I can figure out exactly what the products can do, and then I have arranged a team sit down next week to check through each and every script, make a list of effects required, and balance that out against what I have learned form the products. I will look at a few other products as well, not just Red Giant. I'll admit off the bat, I love Video CoPilots stuff, simply because the Andrew makes the demos and tutorials look so darn good and interresting - wether we would ever use a fresh apple element, with a mercury texture...who knows - but I still want it!
Anyway, thanks again - you have all given me tons of places to go and look, and after a week or so, if my brain has not exploded form all the input, Ill add a small outcome to the thread - for interrest sake.

Audio special effects in Pr12

I'm back! I want to add the "reverb" audio special effect to an audio clip I have. [using Premiere Elements 12 on a WinPro7 computer]. This is what I've done:
click on the audio clip
open special effects and open audio special effects
click on 'reverb' (the outline is now blue) and drag the reverb box onto the audio clip.
The effect is on/in the clip (can check it with 'adjust special effects'), BUT when the clip is played, there is a ratcheting noise. I have tried the "delay" effect as a diagnostic tool, and it added just fine. It's just not the effect I want.
Ideas any one?
Thank you.

Hello,
I'm sorry to have waited so long to reply. I guess the holidays got in the way....and, football. And, now I have 3 topics.
ONE
I tried MANY things about the REVERB effect with no success....either (1) I could not hear that the reverb was working (and, I've used it before in Pr4 and could tell a difference) or (2) that ratcheting noise was still there.
The main thing I did was create new (test) Pr12 files with only the audio that was the problem or with other audios [i.e. songs 'ripped' from purchased CDs, purchased songs from iTunes (either MP3 or WAV formats), sound effects I have from many various sources, including the ones that come with Pr12]. No help. Soooo, if I MUST have reverb on an audio clip, I think I'll just use my XP machine and its Pr4 and then export that audio clip to use in the Pr12 file...if that works, and I think it would. Thank you for that help.
TWO
To continue a thread we had about file size and DVD disc capacity.....I have included 2 screen shots....the first one is to show the file size I just burned on a 4.7 GB DVD.
You can see that the file is 5.587 GB.
Now, here is what the screen showed me in Pr12 when I was preparing to burn the disc.....notice that the "fit contents" box is UNchecked, and I slid the button to the right for HIGHEST quality. Notice it says "space required" is 1.64 GB. This is what I was trying to get across when several of us were discussing "file size" vs disc capacity. Does this mean I can put more on a given disc? That would be cool if I could.
THREE
And, last but not least, is there a way to reduce the volume of the MENU volume if it comes with its own audio? I am using "Outdoor Adventure", and its volume is INTENSE versus what I have mixed in the file. I have looked in my Pr manual, but it doesn't say much. I guess I should first look in the forum for the answer to this, but I'm spoiled with your terrific help.
Have a good day, and thank you.

Z1 Camera Special Effects problem

I have Xperia Z1, it only 1 moth old. Everything is running fine exept for the Spcial Effects app of the camera, as soon as i hit the button to take a pic, it goes back to home page, any suggestions ??!!! plz help

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?

Style sheets (paragraph and character) not coping Special Effects

Couple of questions about ID CS3. I have been really digging into the guts of the application and can appreciate how powerful it is.
I am having a couple of problems and don't know if it is me or the app.
1. I can not get a NEW Paragraph or Character Style Sheet to copy the Special Effects (specifically the drop shadow and inner glow).
I have tried both by using the eye dropper, and the highlighting etc but nothing works. What am i missing?
2. Also, how can I change the Drop Shadow Distance from the default (.1375in) to something else (ie., .05)? Same thing for the Angle. I also want to change the Distance and Angle for the Inner Glow. I looked in Preferences but could not fine them there. I am afraid to ask when do I use them for Object and when for the text....I will figure that one out by playing with it.
3. And finally, how do I isolate moving an object. Even though the boundary boxes show up that I have a specific object selected, when I put the mouse in there to move it, some object underneath it moves. This is probably some technique I am not doing correctly.
I absolutely love this application and will appreciate any help in the above questions.
Thanks,
bob

Hmmmmmm not too sure what you are saying here (faking my way through applying it to a paragraph and anchored objects).
Lets say I have the following:
Chef Salad
We use the freshest lettuce, tomatoes..... bla bla bla
I wanted the name of the menu item (Chef Salad) to be 30 pt, Times New Roman, Red text (no container fill), drop shadow.
Lets also say I want the description (the Bla bla bla) to be 15 pt, Arial, Green text, and small drop shadow.
From what I understood you to say(write), I would have to make a Object style for Chef Salad (and I guess another Object style for the description)given that I want to use special effects.
What has been one of the more confusing things about ID (and believe me, I have been watching hours and hours of Lynda.com, Youtube, and reading a book/DVD on the subject) is when to use paragraph styles, Character styles and now Object styles.
Changing the parameters on these styles is not (to me) the difficulty. When and where to use a particular style is.
I don't want to keep bugging you so if you have someplace that really gets into the proper place and time to use these styles I will go there (if I haven't been there already).
However, if it is pretty easy for you to elaborate some more, that too would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks Bob
PS Nice looking web site you have.... I am up there viewing it now.

Effects only works on first page when viewed in IE 8

I use the drop shadow and bevel effects on all of my sites, and I've found that when I view my site pages in Internet Explorer 8, the effects only shows up on the first page. I set up all effects on the MASTER page, so they should appear on all of my site pages. Now, when I view the site pages in FireFox or Chrome, ALL pages look great! The drop shadow and bevel effects appear on all site pages as expected.
Also, because MUSE doesn't allow me to upload to SFTP, I have to export everything to HTML, then I use Adobe Dreamweaver to upload to SFTP server. When I export a page, the preview that pops up in Internet Explorer actually looks perfect. Is this a MUSE bug? The first page looks fine in IE8, but all of the additional site pages have NO effects at all. Again - all effects are created on the MASTER page which is applied to all site pages, and ALL pages look perfect in other browsers. I only have this problem in IE8 - with compatibility mode on and off - doesn't seem to matter.
Can't send a link because of the site being on our Intranet, but I can send you the MUSE file if you want to check it out. Just let me know.
Any questions, please let me know.
Thanks.
Kris B.

UPDATE! I discovered that the problem with the shadow effect not working on every page of a multi page site when viewed in Internet Explorer 8 has something to do with the layers tool. I was able to correct the problem, but it took a lot of time. Here are the steps I performed:
Created a duplicate of the existing MASTER PAGE, opened the duplicate master page, then pressed Ctrl-A to select all and assigned to LEVEL 4 (selected highest level).
Changed the master page of each site page to the duplicate page
Opened up each site page, pressed Ctrl-A to select everything on the page and assigned to LEVEL 1. One field was hidden below a field on the master page, so I selected that field and assigned it to LEVEL 4.
At this point, I saved and exported the site to HTML and pushed to my SFTP server - there was no change - the error still existed.
Went back to Muse and opened each of the site pages, selected all of the LEVEL 1 fields and reassigned to LEVEL 2.
Made sure all of the LEVEL 2 fields were still selected and then REASSIGNED them back to LEVEL 1 and saved the site.
Exported the site to HTML and the pushed to my SFTP server using Adobe Dreamweaver, and this time the shading worked perfectly!
I opened the site up again in Chrome and FireFox - no change. The shading appeared just fine when using Chrome or Firefox. I only experienced this problem with Internet Explorer 8. Seems to me that there is a bug in the system involving the levels tool and Internet Explorer 8. I can send you the before and after files if you would like to check out the differences. Just let me know. The site I uploaded to the temporary business catalyst site is not the site I corrected, so I will have to send you the .muse file I worked with. Just let me know.
Thanks,
Kris Bancroft

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...
===== and for those that do not know about the special effects: =====
Chapter 5 Using the Video Camera page:53
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.

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".

IMovie 09 special effects

I've recently installed iMovie 09 and I'm curious where the special effects have gone (lighting, fog, rain, etc.). Are there any third party plug-ins that allow this.
I've searched the boards and haven't come up with anything. Any help / suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Brent Sloan wrote:

no such effects anymore ... only the ones, you see..
.. Are there any third party plug-ins that allow this.
no plug-ins for iM08/09 anymore due to lack of an API..
your options are:
keep iMHD6
purchase FinalCutExpress

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.

ID CS3 Transparency weirdness with text/special effects

Okay, I was putting together a brochure for my job today and noticed this oddity. I placed a text box w/text over a stock photo and printed it out - everything was fine. Then I added a drop shadow to the text and all of a sudden the photo became rather desaturated.
Just in case this was some sort of weirdness with that particular document, I created a new document, placed several photos on a page, and then created a text box and applied a drop shadow. All the photos on the page again noticeably lost saturation, and here's the weird part, the text box didn't even touch any of the photos. It only appears to affect items on the same page - items on other pages are unaffected.
It seems whenever you have an object or text frame on a page with transparency or a special effect like a drop shadow, all the photos on the page lose about 20% saturation.
Am I missing something that I can compensate for, or is this a bug/feature?

I'm using shadows and transparency overlays in my InDesign CS3 application. When I output that file to a press resolution pdf file, it appears fine. However, when the digital printer runs the project, the transparency disappears and i get white boxes in the place of transparent boxes.
The print provider is a non-offset source and is using some other RIP to process the file. Is the transparency feature posing a problem in the offset invironment?
