Still picture head on a moving body...How do I create this effect in FC

I saw this funny clip of a still picture of a politician's head that was placed on a moving body of a bullfighter...I have taken the layer of the head of my subject and placed in final cut and motion but I am still getting the picture of my subject with a black box around it....my question how do I eliminate the black box (I am using adobe photoshop 4.0 to extract the head of my subject)

Your head cutout must beon a transparent background, flattened when saved out of PS and the imported image must have a properly-interpretted alpha.

    Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

  • I am trying to use my iPhoto pictures as my screen saver on my mac book air (lion)... however many of the pictures heads are cut off.  How do I fix this without the pictures looking distorted?

    I am trying to use my iPhoto pictures as my screen saver on my mac book air.  Many of the pictures' heads are cut off.  How do I get the pictures to fit the screen properly without the pictures be distorted?

    Open the screen saver control panel. Right above the preview window there's a popup menu. You'll probably want to set it to "Fit to screen" so the pictures will be resized to show on the display.

  • How do I create this effects?

    Hi,
    I am new here and new to graphics design. I am wondering if anyone knows how I can create the rectangle area which appears to be lighter color than the boarder color but the bottom layer still see through on the boarder. As well as the seems to be some sort of noise effect on all the boarders pus the bottom layer...

    I would love to be able to help you but I am not quite sure what your asking. But I think what you might try is a gradient from solid color to a 0% opacity. You can create another layer and add noise to the pic if you are trying to recreate the noise in the picture.

  • How do I create this effect?

    Hi, I have been searching on tutorials to produce the attached effect, but the problem is, I don't know how to describe it and have very little experience printing on fabric. I'll be submitting a vector image to a production company for printing on silk, and would like to create an effect similar to the soft-edged coloration in the ice tea and umbrellas. I tried feathering but there dosen't seem to be an option to feather one side of things. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance - Julia
    Bonus question:  Does the linetype look basic, with the fabric altering the edges or does it look like a custom line type?

    What you show looks like a simple pattern of 3 pictures.
    I’m pretty sure that the fuzzines is either due to poor printing or poor photography or both.

  • How do I create this effect? HALP!

    I am currently making a movie that in one instance requires a 'home video effect' aside from filters, etc. I would like to add a "REC ()" symbol near the bottom of the frame, how would I add this to a clip?

    The easiest way would be to add a title in one of the corners - make the text red and set it to the duration of the video.

    you can just have everything in an entire H box or V box with
    a "move left" and "move right" function, that moves the X
    coordinates once the button is clicked.. should be as easy as that.
    to make it smooth like that you'd need a few extra components but
    shouldn't be that hard.

  • How would I create this effect in PhotoShop?

    I essentially want to create the effect of the person in the window with the rain, but I can't seem to get it right, any tips? Many thanks in advance!

    I only have an image of the person who will be in the picture and the following image of rain on a window.

  • How would you create this effect?

    I am curious if there is a fairly straight-foward away of creating the effect seen in this image. I am talking about the pixelated effect made up of many little red boxes of various hues at the top part of the image.
    I was thinking of zooming in real close to an image in photoshop and doing a screen capture, but I'd rather have a vector image that can be easily scaled in size and easy to change the hue to different colors.
    Something like this able to be done in illustrator without building it a box at a time?
    Regards,

    Well I'd say that PDF is a vector.
    The PDF contains nothing other than a raster image. It contains no vector paths.
    (By the way: "A vector" is a single expression of a direction. Calling a vector-based illustration "a vector" is like calling a raster-based image "a pixel.")
    I zoomed in as close as I could and didn't see any pixels.
    All you could see is pixels. That's all that's there.
    If it's raster I'd be interested in knowing what resolution...
    Its resolution is 1. It's a single-pixel raster image (as given away in its title).
    I've never experienced a raster image that didn't get more pixelated the larger you scaled it up.
    Yes, you have. That's exactly what I demonstrated in post 5 and in the PDF.
    The operative word in your comment is more pixelated. That misconception is the point of the demonstration. Your image is already pixelated, and that's exactly what you want. It won't be "more" pixelated whatsoever, no matter how large you scale it.
    At the heart of the [quite common] misconception is this: What you are calling "resolution" is not. True resolution is the measure of the amount of information contained. A raster image contains only a fixed amount of information. PPI is merely a scale factor. It's merely an expression of information density, not quantity. As you can see, that PDF is every bit as "resolution independent" (i.e.; scaleable) as a vector square.
    The same priciple applies to your raster image. Your whole intent in your posted example is to display pixelation. So if the very thing you're trying to depict is the pixelation of, say, a 10 pixel x 20 pixel raster image, then all you need in order to depict that at any scale is a 10 pixel by 20 pixel raster image. At a scale of 10 PPI, you've got a perfect depiction of 10 square Pixels Per Inch. At a scale of 200%, you've got a perfect depiction of 5 square Pixels Per Inch (i.e.; 10 Pixels Per 2 Inches). You can scale it to the size of the moon and you'll have a perfect depiction of 10 Pixels Per Moon. It's just as scaleable as a 10 x 20 array of vector squares.
    In other words: All the actual resolution of your raster image (all its information—all its pixels, in all their squareness) is already visible. Reducing its information density (by scaling it larger) will not reveal more of its actual information (the square shape of its pixels—the information that one usually wants to conceal or disguize about raster images, but not in this case).
    The whole purpose of making sure your raster images have "sufficient resolution" in desktop publishing is to disguise the squareness of their pixels (what is commonly called "pixelation"). But that is exactly what you are intending to depict in this case. And you want to be able to depict that with equal clarity at any scale. There's no need to re-draw it as vector paths in order to do that. In this situation, you are not trying to avoid "pixelation," you are trying to show it, which is exactly what a raster image does by its nature.
    Think of it this way: If all you are trying to draw is 200 squares, it can easily be argued that a raster image is more "data efficient" than a file containing 200 square vector paths. For each vector path, you have to include four coordinate pairs (800 anchor points). For a raster image, all you need is 200 color values.
    This is not just a symantic or academic or pompous know-it-all point of argument. It's a point widely applicable to many common situations, and something every graphics professional should understand. For example, consider the software instructions author who pointlessly frets over the misunderstood "requirement" for pixel density when his illustrations necessarily consist of screenshots that are, after all, supposed to accurately and clearly depict what the user sees on his screen. Or the fact that you see single-pixel raster images scaled to the full width of the page, or dimensions of a table cell or large section of a whole background on web pages everyday. Or the widespread misconception that intentionally fuzzy raster effects like soft drop shapows "require" 300 PPI.

  • How do you create this effect in PS?

    Hi
    I am looking for some advice please on how to add a curved overlay as a new layer on top of the background image as shown in the red example on http://www.jamesinstallations.com/  which displays the text (a reliable of professionals service" on the top of the image
    Sorry if its a basic question but I am just started out and it would be great if someone could share their time to guide me through on how to do this in CS4.
    Many Thanks
    Lauren

    First open the base image, then create a new layer, use a lasso tool to create a shape selection, then fill with the paint bucket tool with the colour of your choice.

  • How did they create this effect?

    Hi everyone!
    I'm trying to duplicate the effect on layer 2 so I can apply it to different text layers. (please see attached file below) Instead of "You", I want to write "Get". When I change the text to "Get" I want to make sure layer 2 changes to "Get" as well. I'm lost because I don't know how to do it.
    Thanks very much for your time and any ideas and suggestions.
    -TD

    When one wants two layers to show the same content Smart Objects are the tool of choice.
    In attached file I created a SO of the text-layer, duplicated it and applied a different Layerstyle to that.
    To change the text one can open the SO (by double-clicking its symbol in the Layers Panel), make the changes and save it.

  • How does one create this effect...

    I want to make text or any shape really be like almost engraved into any image. For an example look at the gts part of this background image. http://i1.ytimg.com/bg/H-_hzb2ILSCo9ftVSnrCIQ/115.jpg?app=bg&v=4ed767bf or the text in this just without the cracks and crumbling pieces http://assets.videocopilot.net/assets/public/images/vc_cool/tutorialpics/new/116.jpg

    The forum you posted in here specifically serves Photoshop.com, an online site and service.  You probably need the professional version of Photoshop for the kinda of work you're asking about.  For faster help, I urge you to repost your question in the forum for Photoshop CS: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/general

    Hi!
    I have a series of QuickTime files that I am trying to
    present in a nice
    interface. I know how I can create this effect in Flash- but
    given the
    number of .movs I have, I am thinking of sticking to QT. The
    example I have
    in mind is
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/quicktours/
    I went through the source code and tried to replicate it by
    changing some of
    the values but it does not seem to work. I thought about
    using frames to
    ease complication but I find frames cumbersome. I am open to
    suggestions but
    would prefer to keep the video clips in QT versus converting
    to FLV.
    Thank you.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Welcome to the forum.
    It will be difficult to compose this effect in FCE without commercial plugins like Nattress's Big Box of Tricks (G Glow dissolve).
    But you can try this: create a colorized transparent document (yellow and red around the frame) in Photoshop. Save in PNG. Import into FCE.
    Put it on V2, over the edit point for your video clips in V1.
    Try to keyframe opacity values, animate the position with erratic displacements and add some twirling or distord effects (that can be keyframed too).
    With some patience, I'm sure that you can achieve a such effect.
