Trying to duplicate this type

Just as an exercise, I'm trying to replicate this poster type with a single column of text in InDesign. With a series of underlines, rules, and various baseline shifts and extreme leading, I've come pretty close. I'm stuck on the "The." Is there any way to make that word be in front of the one below it? Thanks

That's normal decision for the real world. As for exercise, you can play with leading and baseline shift, too.
Right. It's important to note that for the red text to be on top it must come after the word strokes in the text flow, no matter how you do it.
For an exercise using baseline shift to move text that far would be OK, but in the real world it would make the story nearly impossible to edit.
Keep in mind that the original was probaly either set as letter press, or possibly a silkscreen, and it would have gone through two passes, one for the black, and a second for the red, and they would not have made an attempt to put both sets of type together the way we do now with electronic separations.

Trying to duplicate this "Energy Flow" effect (originally created in AE)

Following the tutorial from videocopilot on "soul removal"...
http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/soul_removal/
I created a couple variations on an energy glow effect in AE, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzdwK2LoQbE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWYrfsSMZ0k
I think this should be easy to duplicate in Motion, but I'm going slightly nuts trying to figure it out. The effect is created by having some simple white circle particles with AE's Fast Blur and CC Vector Blur added. I know how to do something similar to Fast Blur in Motion, but I can't figure out how to achieve something equivalent to CC Vector Blur. There must be some way of creating something similar, though. Any Motion gurus out there care to help me save my sanity?
(I know there are somethings that AE can do, that Motion can't, but I don't think this is one. I would hope that Motion is able to do this)

First of all, thanks for intriguing me enough that I decided to waste my morning figuring this out.
Anyway, I watched the tutorial, and the conclusion I came to is that to attempt to duplicate the tutorial step by step is to undermine motion's capabilities.
Now, I will preface this by saying that my "energy flow" is not identical. But I think it looks really good. Also, I didn't work to modify it all that much, so I'm convinced that with a little tweaking, it'll look even better than the AE version.
Ok. When watching the AE tutorial, Andrew Kramer uses the CC Vector blur to turn circle particles into more of a smoky, curvy line. When looking at the way vector blur affected the particles, it reminded me of the caustics generator in Motion. So here's what I did.
First, I borrowed a pre-existing particle emitter that already looks like energy. You can find it in the library under the abstract folder in Particles. It's called Flow 01 interestingly enough. Then I adjusted the emission angle to 90 and the range to a small number like 7 or so. This gets the particles (which BTW are curved lines, not circles) moving to the right like the tutorial.
Then I increased the speed quite a bit, and the birth rate a little, and introduced some speed randomness. Again, you can tweak these to give this the look you want. Once I got the flow moving, I had to set up the distortion.
I created a new group and placed the caustics generator in there. I tweaked the generator so that the water-like ripples were small, bright, and had a high level of refraction. Then I applied a gaussian blur to the generator to soften the edges quite a bit.
Going back to my particle group, I added the Refraction filter from the Distortion folder. But (and this is important), I added it to the GROUP, not to the emitter. The reason has to do with a step below. I used the caustics generator as the source for the refraction (and turned off the caustics group as well) and made sure I had high levels of refraction and softness.
This more or less made my emitter look like a reflection in water, until I fixed the resolution for the group. Then I got the look I was going for.
And that is all there is to it. You'll still have to do the rest like duplicate the emitter, add an emitter that does the little flying particles, but the energy stream looks good to me.
I'm including a link to my project so you can take it apart. I hope this helps.

Trying to duplicate this effect

Of course the guy that did it won't share his way of doing it, says there is a plug-in but it's $250. I'm wondering if anyone here knows how this effect can be made or knowing of the plug-in (Exposure 2) can be gotten for free. Here's the image that I'm trying to get, it's the effect on the player.
[IMG]http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss173/djcarsey83/34g4rjn.jpg[/IMG]

You can try contrast masking and high pass sharpening to create something like this effect. You might try smoothing the image using smart or surface blur after applying some of the contrast masking.

How to achieve this type of Writing

I finally my Intuos tablet and I been trying to make this type of lettering, but I haven't had no luck. I been messing with the settings of the "Calligraphic" brushes and nothing. If someone out there knows how to achieve this and is willing to share the knowledge I'd be very helpful and I'd appreciate it it very much!
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/1186/typevl0.jpg
Thanks!

I'm afraid your expectations may be a bit unrealistic. That's not going to automatically happen by merely stroking away with a stylus using a Calligraphic Brush.
Whether you're using a stylus or a mouse for your input device, that kind of text design is drawn deliberately and carefully with the Pen tool, creating paths along the edges of the glyphs.
You
might achieve a rough sketch as a starting point, but even then it would be better (and most probably easier) done by drawing centerline paths with the Pen and applying the Calligraphic Brush to those paths. Better still, start with a pencil sketch, scan it, and just start tracing that with the Pen. Tracing text is excellent practice for learning to use the Pen.

This bit
ON EXISTS(SELECT sourceEP.Tag_Id)
Looks wrong. Sould be something like:
ON sourceEP.Tag_Id = enArch.Tag_Id
And don't update the matching columns in the UPDATE part, as they already match.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on? And, what video card/graphics card does that computer use?
Is this the first time you are using Premiere Elements 10 or have you worked with it before successfully? There is no easy solution until we
know the details and troubleshoot to determined what caused the problem.
1. Can you open a new project?
2. After you saved/closed the problem project, did you move, delete, or rename any of the files/folder that were related to the source media
for that project?
3. Please review the Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects.
Troubleshoot damaged projects | Adobe Premiere Elements
4. What are the steps that you are using to reopen this saved closed project.
a. File Menu/Open Project/Name of Project
b. Other
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next based on your further details and results..
Thank you.

Trying to watch a video on quick time player and i keep getting this message You may need to install additional software to open this type of file. what do i need to install and how

I believe there is a technique which uses some similar suggestion to unwittingly tempt the user into installing malware, in order to be able to watch some (usually sexually explicit) video, so be aware of this ruse.
The only things I would download would be Perian that extends Quicktime, available here,
http://www.perian.org/
and if that did not do it, then try VLC to use instead of Quicktime.

While trying to open iPhoto this message coming-You can't the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac

I recently upgraded my MacBook from Moutain Lion to Maverick.After upgrading I can not open the iPhoto.Whenever I try to open I get the message --You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.Tell me how to solve the problem?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I use a Mac. When I try to open my iPhoto Library in Elements I get the error message "cannot complete request, PE does not recognize this type of file." The import option only allows me import a "frame from Video"?

You can't use iPhoto that way. Poking around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is just begging for trouble, the fastest way to corrupt your library and lose all your images.
You have two choices with iphoto:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Save, never save as, and don't change the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits and the original, although you have to lose the edited version to revert to the original. This doesn't work with raw files.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in PSE and then you can make all the changes to name and format that you want. Then import the saved edited version to iphoto as a new file.
