Translucent transporter effect

Instead of transporter effect I wanted to have either fairy dust or fireworks effect happening inside an individual to show something magical happening within the person-
wanted to be able to use any you tube video and edit- any suggestions much appreciated

I agree with Mylenium, but on a very basic level, the effects you're talking about are all Particle effects.  AE has several particle effects built in, including CC Particle World.  But the Rolls Royce of particle engines for After Effects is a third party plugin called Trapcode Particular.  There's a tutorial about a Transporter effect here.

  • Making Relicated objects appear more random

    Here's what I've got:
    A circle shape, fill turned off and outline turned on and thickened, brush type changed to airbrush, opacity of brush altered to have a light middle surrounded by dark front and trailing off to a dark back, and Rate behavior used to rotate the Z axis - so basically is looks like a ghosted stroke rotating in a circle. No problems creating that.
    When I use the Replicator to replicate the shape, I get a whole bunch of the same circle - which is exactly what I want - but all of the circles are moving in unison. When one stroke is in the 12 o'clock position, all strokes are in the 12 o'clock position. I'm try to get a little variety in there.
    Is there a way to have each of the different replicated rotating cicles be at a different point in their rotation so they are not all at the exact same point in their rotation at the same moment in time?

    I'm not so much worried about about varying the speed of each circle (I do understand your recommendation that I would need different circles with different rate behaviors for that), I'm just wanting to get each circle at a different point in its rotation. I will try Mark's recommendation.
    Come to think of it, though, I am going to hit another problem with this project. After I get the circle rotating at the speed I like, I'm going to want to offset all of the other circles in their rotation (using Mark's recommendation) but then rotate each circle individually to almost 90 degrees but keep it a 2D layer.

  • SQ01 queries disappeared

    Hi all,
    In our production system, Users are reporting saying the query assignment done through (SQ03) has disappeared, that is when users were created (long back in 2006) queries were also assigned, but all of a sudden the assignments are deleted. We as a Security team have not removed this, So Please let me know if there is a way to trace these changes.
    Regards
    Sushma

    Hi Julius,
    We do not have any short dumps, please let me know transport log of which component I need to check, we didn't have any security transports moving, but users reported that they lost access, if you advice what kind of transports effect I can go back check with basis team on that.
    Thanks a lot for your time

  • A little spillage :(

    Can anyone advise? My girlfriend opened her handbag to discover that her perfume bottle had leak all over the content of her bag including her 2 month old 3GS. Whilst it's in full working order and now smelling strongly on L'eau D'Issey the liquid has clearly got into the case and is creating a translucent hologram effect although the display is still pretty clear. Any suggestions as no accidental damage insurance was taken out. Who would it be sent to for repair or is this too much work/expensive or a job for home contents insurance?
    Thanks in advance

    Your best bet may be to take advantage of Apple's out of warranty replacement program, cost in the US is $199. Cleaning your present phone would require complete dis-assembly and then soaking in distilled water with no guarantee everything will work properly when re-assembled. I suspect your problems will only increase with use.

  • SWF Output

    Hi Guys
    I made a website banner in AE and exported to SWF. It is not a complex composition. It has two people (PS imports) that slide onto the banner; one from the left and one from the right end. One of them is animated by the puppet tool to move an arm down. One word of text is animated using the transporter preset effect.
    On export to SWF (medium setting), the animations work fine... but the file is 8+mb. To try and reduce the file size I exported using "low" setting but the image quality was poor. I then tried exporting in medium quality again but "ignoring" rasterisation. The image quality was good but the overall result messy. I could live with a ropey looking transporter effect. But only one person appears and the arm is not animated (don't know why the 2nd person disappeared entirely) .
    Has anyone any tips on how to export a decent quality, low size swf or can anyone tell me why one of the images should just disappear? Should I import Alpha files into my comp, such as png, from PS instead of a full PS file?
    Regards,
    Graham

    If it disappeared and you ignored rasterization, then there was some effect or layer style that would have required rasterization... Other than that there isn't really much you can do to massage file size vs. features. It's very much a "Love it or leave it" thing. If you wanted more control, you'd have to use Flash proper or at least Flash Catalyst based ony our PSD files. Should you have acces to these tools, you could also use the XFL export or render a PNG sequence to be compiled in Flash or FC. This also usually yields much more efficient results...

  • Import Motion 5 movie into iMovie 11 with transparent background

    I'm trying to import a movie from Motion 5 into iMovie 11 with a transparent background.  iMovie goes through the expected dialog boxes but the actual movie doesn't appear in the events window.  I know this is possible to do as I've been able to import the indymogul transporter effect movie (http://www.indymogul.com/transport) and use in iMovie 11 without too many problems.
    The movie is "PAL DV" with a transparent background and I've tried all the combinations of "alpha, color, alpha + color, etc.".
    Has anyone been able to do this?
    many thanks,
    - Dale Thatcher

    Hi I am looking for clarification before buying the motion software.
    @dale , Is it possible to create animated graphics and text with a transparent background, that can then be overlayed ontop of my Imovie projects using the Picture in Picture option?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • The lowdown on black vs straight alpha

    Hey everyone,
    I use motion and livetype a lot, so I'm very familiar with the strange and interesting visual effects you get when you forget to switch alpha from straight to black (why does FCP not do this for .motn and livetype files anyway??)
    Anyway, I was just wondering if somebody could explain in simple, practical terms what the differences are in various FCP alpha formats and how they store and interpret transparency?
    Thanks!
    Clint

    From page 372 of the FCP manual…
    A_ Straight: Typically generated by a 3D animation or compositing program, straight
    alpha channels contain only the pixels rendered for an image with no background
    (although the background appears black). Because of this, movies with translucent
    effects, such as volumetric lighting or lens flares, appear distorted unless they’re
    composited with something in the background. Movies or images with a straight
    alpha channel are easy to composite and always have very clean edges when
    composited in a multilayered sequence.
    A_ Black: Most other alpha channels, especially channels that are hand drawn in
    Photoshop, are premultiplied. This means that, unlike a movie with a straight alpha
    channel that contains only the pixels of the foreground image, movies with alpha
    channels premultiplied against black always look right, even if they have translucent
    lighting effects. This is because the entire image is precomposited against black.
    It’s important that graphics with premultiplied alpha channels be correctly identified.
    If a graphics file with a premultiplied black alpha channel is incorrectly identified as
    having a straight alpha channel, a black fringe appears around the edges of your
    imported image. If this happens, you can simply change the way the alpha channel is
    used in the clip’s Item Properties window.
    A_ White: Works the same as the black alpha channel, except that the clip is
    precomposited against white.
    A_ None/Ignore: If a clip has no alpha channel, or if you want to disable the alpha
    channel of a clip so that it’s no longer used, you can use the None/Ignore setting.

  • How can I easily add friends on MSN and Yahoo IM services?

    I understand that you can use Jabber to communicate with friends on other services, but it's not spelled out what server settings to use when adding them into iChat. Can somebody please tell me step by step how to set these up?
    Thank You!

    Hi,
    You don't need to know them.
    You need a Jabber ID an a Public Jabber server.
    You need a "Transport" - effectively a gateway - on a Jabber Server that converts the Jabber service chat to an MSN or other service chat, (Those transports know the Address and log on to the respective servers). This Transport can be be on the same Jabber server above or a another one as long as it too is Public.
    iChat does not connect directly to an MSN Server or a Yahoo One.
    If you have a Gmail account you have a Jabber name already that can be used in iChat and you can log in to the GoogleTalk service which is a Jabber Server.
    You will still need Transports somewhere.
    http://www.jabber.org.au/ichat This site tells you how to Register on Line and create a Jabber account and use it in iChat
    This is transferable to any Jabber Server that allows On-line registration in a web browser.
    http://allforces.com/2005/05/06/ichat-to-msn-through-jabber/ This site tell you how to set up the Transport and about Third party apps like PSi to register Jabber ID's via an Jabber app where the Jabber Server doe not on-line registration
    Of course you need to know what Public Jabber Servers do Transports.

  • Transport shows successfull but why it is not taking effect in test

    Hi all ,
    I have changed my dataource and added some Z fields .
    But when i transport that to test system, i can not see the effect in test .
    Transport shows successfull but why it is not takin effect from the Dev Datasource changes to Test systems ?
    Please give me solution

    Hi,
    You can check the version of the data source.
    Check this version if shows the latest date and the TR number on which you have transported the data source.If it contains different one then select your one and activate it.
    You can actually activate the desired version.
    Just go RSO2->Extract structure->utiliteis-> version -> version management.
    Thanks

  • The effect of transport for portal

    Dear all
      i wonder what's the effect to portal system  if i transport objects(infoobject,DSO,cube,query,wad) from bwd -> bwp.
    as our bi-java and portal are installed at the same server.
    are query and wads also stored at bi-java system ?  does it should restart server if i transport query and wad into bi-java system?
      thanks

    I could easily tell you the answer, but really, the only way you'll learn this is to try it for yourself with tone. Generate a mono tone (say 400Hz) at -6dB and put it into MV. All you need to do now is to select one of the options, and play your tone, moving the pan control and looking at the output meters. Then change the preference (you must restart Audition for this to take effect), and try the other one. The difference will become obvious, hopefully...
    Yes, -3dB centre is the equal power setting, but to find out how this works you should still try the experiment. Also, just because it says it's the equal power setting, that's only correct in theory. Because of the strange things that happen with bass and levels, most informed opinion regards -4.5dB in the centre as a generally more accurate compromise in practice. And of course you can alter the centre drop figure in CS5.5, so you can experiment with that too. Although you'll have to generate the tone elsewhere, unfortunately, like in AA3.

  • Transporting form BOX to another BOX to production BOX changes not effect

    Hi Expert's,
    Good Day!
    I would like some help from on my object from "Transporting form BOX1 to another BOX1 to production BOX changes not effect" ??
    The issue is regarding transaction SE51 (screen painter). I was changing the Define Length from 45 to 55 upon activating their will be a pop-up information message will appear "Selection screen: Report generation makes screen changes ineffective". After the activation the Define Length in transaction se51 will now be 55.
    However, upon transporting to another Box/system the Define Length will be 45 instead of 55. Can you help me how to solve this problem? What to do to avoid the changes in the Define Length so that it would still be 55 instead of 45?
    Answer's will be a great help.
    Thank you,
    ~Junne Ray

    Hi Satya,
    Good Day!
    I was changing the Screen (transaction SE51) of a field Define Length from 45 to 55. the changes is transported and reflected to another box but when transporting it again to the production box the Screen (transaction SE51) the Define length changes again to 45 instead to 55.
    ~Thank you so much

  • ID transports procedure not effective

    Hi experts,
    I am facing an issue regarding PI transports and the way they are done.
    We are using CTS+ tool to move the packages through our PI landscape,
    and thus, system generates transport orders (XIDK...) that contain j2ee
    stuff (one order for ESR objects and another one for ID objects).
    As part of our engagement transports, PI transports are done by the
    Change Management team. They are responsible of the validation and
    importing of all the orders.
    The key is that so far we are having problems with the ID transports.
    For instance, if we want to transport more than one scenario, first
    import will be ok, but at the time the second one should be imported,
    it fails throwing RC=8. This is because some common objects (from
    scenario 1 & 2) are still in 'ctsadmin' user changelist in target
    system.
    This issue is preventing rest of the ID transports from being imported
    successfully and due to this, lots of transports get stuck in the
    import queue.
    Could you please let us know how to overpass it, if possible? Is it
    completely necessary? Any other workaround? Not only it lacks the performance of the
    change management but also it is a matter of responsibilities as, by doing so, the transport team should have to access the ID, and release the import package from the ctsadmin queue....
    Do you guys have any clue about how to get rid of this? Is it possible? How do you optimize your PI transports that are performed by another team within your project?
    Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
    David

    Nop,
    once the PI consultants transfer the import list to their queue, subsequents transports can be performed.
    My question is, is there a possibility of overpassing it?
    I mean, in most of engagements, the transports are done by an specific team. By doing so, this team should have to access to ID tool, transfer the list to his queue and import the second TO.
    I know that this is not an error, i just want to know if is there a way to optimize this process?
    Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
    david
