Spray paint or similar effect in CS3

If you look in the attached you will see a .jpg of an old movie title. I was able to re create with bevel and extrude and light patterns. However I'm trying to re create the gray spray behind the word "The and Tunnel" and also to accent the spray effect in certain spots.
In Photoshop I can do this easily but it has to be done in ai.
I tried various brushes but I can't create the effect.
Any help

You can also use the Blur and Feather effects to achieve this look.
And you might be able to use the blob brush which has a feather and blur applied to it for a more intuitive and photoshop approach.
You can add and erase that way.
And airbrush tool would be great addition to the blob brush and eraser tool.

Looking for "cut-out template / spray paint" effect shortcut plugin.

Does anyone know of an existing action or plugin that produces a realistic "cut-out template / spray paint" effect like the one seen here?
I know I could accomplish this manually, but it would take a lot longer and I have a series of these I need done.
Thanks!

I doubt anyone can work out exactly what you are after, from the way you have worded your question. Will all these templates be the same, and if not, what will they look like? Have you tried searching for Brush sets using the search criteria you are after?

Spray paint effect

how do make a sort of spray paint effect without making it
look pixelated or like uve just use the blur filter?

What exactly do you mean by spray paint effect? A place to
start might be to use some Bitmaps:
http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=search&w=1&txt=spray+paint&p=1
You can apply Convert To Alpha and Color Fill live filters to
make the white areas in those Bitmap transparent.
If you want to make it from scratch, try drawing with
brushes, then use the smudge tool to get some streaks, then use Add
Noise to make it flecky, then you can Convert to Alpha(to remove
the white flakes as transparent) and Color Fill once again.

Upon Launch After Effects Pro CS3 Crashes - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

I recently installed the 32 bit version of Adobe After Effects Professional CS3 (and later applied the 8.02 Update) on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit computer (Service Pack 1 - 12 GB RAM). It's installed (along with all of my other applications) on a 256 GB solid state drive.
Shortly after launching the application (as it begins to load), the following message appears:
After Effects Error: sfntread library error (83 :: 4)
It continues to reappear several times after clicking 'OK'.
Then a final error message appears just before the program aborts its loading process and crashes:
After Effects warning: unknown BIB error, sfntread library error CT, 0
I currently have the complete version of Adobe Design Premium CS5 also installed on my Windows system. No problems occurred with its installation and all of the programs within the suite launch and load properly as expected. The only other Adobe CS3 application that I also installed before installing After Effects CS3 was Premeire Pro CS3 which also installed, launched and loaded properly with no error messages appearing during the entire process.
I did an initial search here on the forum using the error messages but did not find a solution that is workable with my particular operating system (64 bit) and the 32 bit After Effects Professional CS3 application.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a page that might be useful:

Note that Windows 7 is not listed as an operating system supported for After Effects CS3:

The application was written, tested, and released before Windows 7 was available.

Techniques to model an expolosion or similar effects

What are techniques to model an expolosion or similar effects
when a number
of objects start moving apart?
Could somene please provide a link to a relevant resource?

I found another great way to make it work (even though I'll just use it, when the null-object ect. won't work):
It's called "precomposed layers" and works really well, especially because it allows you to edit compositions that have "time distortion" and "time stretching" enabled. once you have a layer that has some time-relevant effects and want to add another effect (e.g. tracking, or twixtor...), select the layer (or several), use "Ctrl + shift + C" and select the second option. the layer is then replaced by a new untouched layer of the clip. that clip links to the edited original clip (which kind of hides under it).
In PS speech: you merge the layers, but have access to the unmerged layers
I needed it to use tracking on time stretched clips and also in combination with twixtor

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.

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.
Have fun learning Illustrator.

Dripping Spray Paint effect in Motion

Anybody got any thoughts on how to create nice dripping paint (as if from an aerosol can) using motion/particles etc? The splats and splashes in the content library are ok, but not quite right for the project i'm working on..
any thoughts would be great..

don't know if it's exactly what you're loking for, but a few weeks ago i picked up the Riot Gear dvd from videocopilot.net and i've been using the splats and drips that come with that with really good results. for $49 you can't really go wrong...check it out

Best Photoshop plug-in or action for converting photos to a spray paint look?

For a project I will be doing, the client will be receiving a bunch of photos from their employees. Traditionally, these photos are not well-composed, high-res, professionally shot images but selfies or other type images they might take with the camera on their phone.
This year, the client has asked me if it would be possible to convert these images into something that looks like it's been painted by a graffiti artist, partly because their theme is somewhat "urban" and partly because I think they think that this would gloss over the bad quality photos. However, they don't want the stencil-outline one or two colour Banksy look kind of thing. As much as I dread saying it, they want something that I can just apply to the photo and convert it to give a uniform look as there may be as many as 300 photos. I have been researching various pieces of software, plug-ins and tutorials but I'm just getting bogged down by it all and to make matters worse, they want to see what it could look like before they will agree to it, so it's not like I can go on a software spending spree. If someone does have a solution that I think works, I will be happy to pay for it -- I'm not looking for a freebie -- but I can't afford/the budget doesn't allow purchasing multiple products for testing purposes. When the photos do come in, there won't be budget or time to painstaking handcraft them all, either. They will not be used in a print application so resolution is not an issue.
Which is why I'm here. I was hoping that someone might have been in a similar situation and has a suggestion. I've already looked at

But there's so much out there these days it's hard to keep track and Google returns a lot of um... interesting results that have nothing to do with what I'm looking for.
Also, if there is an AfterEffects plug-in that would do it, I'm fine with that too. I haven't looked at the filters I have yet.
Thanks!

First you need to make sure that the offline files location on client PCs will change location once the new server comes online. This depends on how you push these settings out in the first place, generally it is best to use GPOs to achieve this but you may or may not be doing it this way.
You could cheat and create a CNAME which points the location of the old share to the new, but this is messy and not a great solution.
When it comes to the actually copying files, create a Robocopy script and have it run out of hours, probably over a weekend would be the best time.
Make sure you sure that any scripts/GPO/Applications which point to the old file server are changed to the new location before you go live with the migration.

Problems with After Effects/Premiere CS3 in Vista

I have read through a bundle of solutions to this problem and haven't found anything that has worked yet. I ran After Effects and Premiere Pro on Vista up until two days ago when it refused to open. When I try to open Premiere, it gives the message "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attemp to save your current project." When I tryo to open After Effects, the firts try does nothing. The second attempt will open After Effects, but all interfaces are missing and all the dropdown menus are grayed out. When I close it, it says After Effects has crashed, contact support, error 0:42. I have uninstalled/deactivated and reinstalled, run codec sniper, removed xmi preference settings and nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you run the CS3 Clean Script? If not, please do so before attempting any reinstalls. More info on such stuff here and here.

How to Achieve Oil Painting on Canvas Effect?

A friend took a picture of an portrait of her grandfather painted in oil on canvas. She has asked me to "Photoshop" the picture so that the canvas effect shows up in the picture. I use PSE 8 in Win 7. Thanks.

Filter>Texture>Texturizer>Canvas. However, you may need to play with this to make it large enough to show in a print, if that's your intended output.
You might also try loading a burlap texture, which may give a more visible woven effect.

Adobe After Effects CS4/(CS3) Installation

Hello,
Yesterday i downloaded Adobe After Effects CS4 trail. When it finished downloading i ran this file: "ADBEAFETCS4_LS7.exe". It started to extract all the files but when it almost was done, it said the program had to close with the Don't Send and Send Report thing. After that i tried opening: "ADBEAFETCS4_LS7.7z" with WinRAR and run the Setup.exe from there. But when i double clicked it, i also got the Dont' Send window.
Then i thought maybe Adobe After Effects CS3 works, so i downloaded that trail. When it was finished i ran Setup.exe and it started to initialise, but when the progressbar was 100% is closed, but no setup window appeared.
How can i install one of these beautiful programs. Please help me out.
(I also tried to download it on my laptop but there i couldn't download the download Manager...)
Stupid errors...
Thanks in advance

Please provide more info about your system. The installer popping away is eitehr a sign of a severe permission issue or insufficient drive space in the temporary directory.

Color Adjust Filter and Paint Bucket not available in CS3

I recently noticed that Colors in the Filter menu is not available in my install of Illustrator CS3. I also noticed that the Paint Bucket tool is missing. Both appear to be in the Plug-ins folder in their respective folders (Illustrator Filters and Tools) but are not available in the program. I am using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 on a PowerPC G4 running at 1.6 GHz with 1 GB of SDRAM. I have the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium package.
There may be other problems with my install, but these are the two things I notices. Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and how to fix it? I tried a re-install, but to no avail.

Basically yes, but not quite. You may want to review the new features. The paint bucket was removed because it was, well, pointless in most cases. THe Live Paint tool is much more useful than the old Paint Bucket.
