Special effects with PSE 10

Using PSE 10 is it possible to create a silhoutte effect?  I would also like to create a multiple exposure effect.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Brucpa

For the silhouette, if you mean a black figure on a white background, make a selection of the figure, fill the selection with black, then use Select...Inverse to select the background and fill it with white.
You'll have to explain more precisely what you mean by a "multiple exposure effect".

    Depending on your needs, it's usually better to create muzzle flashes in Motion or After Effects.

  • 'Green Screen' Special Effects with iSight & iMovie?

    I need to record a short (30 - second) movie of just me talking. I thought I would record it with my iSight camera & Quicktime.
    If I use a green screen. . .can I swap in a different background in iMovie? If I can, does anyone have a good idea for a home-made green screen? (thought maybe I would just go to the art store and get a piece of green posterboard unless anyone has a better idea)
    TIA,
    Larry

    Hello Larry,
    "Green screen" recording is a function that is built into my Sony camcorders. Sony calls it "superimposing." Because it is easy to use the built-in function, I use my camcorders for all my superimposed video work.
    You can read about how it works on a Sony camcorder in pages 118 through 120 of this Operating Instructions manual. If you have a camcorder, yours may have the function, too, although it might have a different name if your camcorder is not a Sony.
    I do not know how to do with in QuickTime Pro. If you get no better answer here and cannot find the answers in the QT Pro Tutorial or Help pages, try searching or posting this question in the QuickTime for Mac OS Forum.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Absolutely.  Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  Make sure you check the Self-Contained box.  The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added.  Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

  • IMovie special effects gone with 08?

    are the special effects from imovie gone? im talking about where you can put clips in slow motion and reverse them, do lightning effects, and mirror. i cant figure out how to get to them if they're still there.

    i just imported some of my old clips from iMovie 06. it stripped them of the effects though, thats why i wanted to know how to add them again and everywhere i've looked they're saying that there aren�t any right now. i might ask apple if they plan on adding them and will it be a free upgrade because i know more people than me are hurt by this lack of effects
    as for making new projects, i clicked the "+" in the bottom left hand corner, and it let me create a new project. they keep all of your old clips in the same "bank" though, they're not separate. but unfortunately they don't keep your movies how they were the old iMovie, they give you bare clips. you have to make them again, unless you had effects, then you cant because of the obvious.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ACR 5.7 not compatible with PSE 6 or 7

    Though the recently released ACR 5.7 works with PSE 8, it is not compatible with PSE 6 or 7.  A number of people (including me) have observed that if you try to open a raw file in 6 or 7 you get:
    Unable to use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements.
    The accompanying documentation is an inconsistent mess about which versions are supported, variously implying that it works with 6 or later, 7 or later, or just 8:

    I agree with John,  there is certainly a mess and confusion
    over the use of ACR 5.7 with PSE 7.  I have tried to upgrade and got various error messages including the version incompatibility one. I did try both the 32 and 64 bit versions since I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  However I have now reached a slightly different opinion since I am still able to open Raw files from my Canon G10 (which previously worked with 5.6) but cannot open my EOS 550D Raw files which suggests a specific code problem rather than a version incompatibility.  Any comments or help Adobe?

  • Special Effects?

    So my last computer had system 10.3.9 on it.. And hence didnt have a very new iLife. The iMovie was the old school one with none of this skimming business.
    I now have a Macbook Pro with iMovie '08 on it.
    Either I'm blind.. but I can't seem to find any inkling of the old (and yes simple) effects of the old iMovie on there. Is this new iMovie just a quick movie maker just for cutting clips and adding a little music, maybe changing the colour?
    I hope not.
    My question is: any special effect features apart from transitions.

    What you see is what you get.
    Is this new iMovie just a quick movie maker just for cutting clips and adding a little music, maybe changing the colour?
    Yes, as well as, import newer storage formats (with or without problems) and share directly to YouTube and/or a gallery.
    My question is: any special effect features apart from transitions.
    No, not in iMovie '08. (No one has figured out how to add third-party effects yet.) You can, of course, download the free iMovie HD (v6.0.4) so as to use both versions on your computer.

  • 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...
