What All Should I Learn To Achieve These Effects?
Hi,
I would like to know what all I would need to learn and which extra plugins I would need to buy to achieve these effects (Looking mainly to do the text effects and all the in video transitions)
I already have After effects Cs4.
http://youtu.be/tIPLTiKAQTo
The reason why I am asking this in particular is because I will be doing only these kind of effects and nothing more. So I neednt waste time learning things I will probably never use.
Thank you.
Unless there's a specific reason for reducing the frame size of the original footage I always work at maximum resolution. IOW, Don't resize your 550D footage unless you can come up with a really good reason to do so.
My content is 100% for the web. I will be creating just one or two videos in 720P (For streaming via amazon S3 and cloudfront) and the rest in 480P (For youtube).
Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all solution to the problem.
I understand. My case is pure youtube and web videos. So I guess I should follow the below scenario
--> Shoot in Full HD.
-->Import the full HD to some video editing program and perform trimming as required
--> Import trimmed full HD to AE.
--> Apply the required effects (similar to the ones I showed in the video in my first post).
--> Import it in Adobe Media Encoder and Resize it to 480p or 720p as per the requirement and render.
--> Follow the above 4 procedures for the opener video (I have spotted a very good opener AE template for videohive.net)
--> Take the output videos and then stitch them together using a software like sony vegas or some video editing software and join them
--> Render the output video
Does the above procedure seem good?
A preset is something everyone using AE should know how to use and to create.
I tried some text animation presets. Worked out fine. Going to learn some more on this.
There you go.
Thanks a lot for your help.
If you like wasting a lot of time, effort and storage space you should use the workflow you propose. If you want to be more efficient, you should edit your footage BEFORE you do AE work.
How about the work flow I mentioned above?
There are all kinds of editing applications availble, Adobe makes one: Premiere Pro.
I took a look at it. It seems too costly. I think I will go with Sony Vegas

What single programming language should I learn that is most flexible? It's needs are to form the basis for MacOSX Cocoa applications, Linux command-line programs (and preferably least X11). This I ask here, for scientists likely lurk here, but don't always program in Objective C. (Though I've heard nothing but good things about it!)
Currently, I use a variant of APL to assist as I work. When simplifying my life, around 1980, I changed to one editor: the platform-independent emacs. Now I should like to do the same with a 'general' programming language.
Science is free, and scientists (I might suppose) support Richard Stallman's philosophy. Scientific source code needs be freely offered, written in an ISO standard language, and capable of being made platform-independent. It must easily be modified to use scientific libraries (lapack & netlib's others) and write linux, command-line programs, distributed by way of Sourceforge.
I've been separated from other scientists for a long time. Is there a language satisfying the above scientific requirements that can also write 'modular' object-oriented applications for MacOSX, using the Aqua interface? If there are no caveats to using 'Java' for this purpose, I'll invest time in that. Have scientists or others faced this question?
Thanks,
Bruce
PS. This question arose while searching for a simple little program to change images into icons:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7511505#7511505
Here's the continuation of that post, that illustrates the problem, likely faced my many:
Indeed, ... I could always use GraphicConverter.
This topic begs the question of why we use GraphicConverter or PhotoShop to change a single color in an image. That's wasn't always supposed to be the case.
Unix's credo: do only one thing, but do it well, and the popularity of Lotus 1-2-3, decades ago caused a great idea to emerge and gradually grow, until it became alive in developers' minds. Then it suffered a quick death, from unknown causes.
Modular Software
One day, a housewife becoming tired of spending a year learning and 'tuning' huge word processors to write a quick note saying she had gone to the corner market and would be back soon. The concept of modular software emerged: one would buy essentially, a text editor, then buy only those extra little modules you needed for your particular use: editing frills (as in emacs), formatting, adding images, importing & exporting formats, &c: 'personal' software. This needed a modular language; and, as it happened, C++ emerged soon. What ever happened to this idea (or the idea of using sounds for messages in addition to alarms, as in Growl), I never understood.
Simple Software
Many 'Google Images' have a white borders. It would be a clever idea to make background colors 'pure' (not in need of dithering when converted to a raster image). In the latter case, every GIF image could be dropped on an icon that could convert the lower-righthand pixel (the background) to a 'transparent' color. An old GIF image taken from the web could lose its background, and be ready to paste to the tiny icon in and 'Info Window'.
Simple Modules
Ah, but what about a Shft-Cmd-4 copy from my desktop? Mine are in JPEG format. I need to convert it to GIF. I could add a conversion module to the original little program (which could even convert to PNG). Ah, but the color of my Desktop varies or is, at least, not an 8-bit color (thank God). Then I could add a module that 'de-dithers' the color.
Relation to Unix
In old Unix these would be filters, something like this:
cat image | ddthr | rfmt -png > icon
Now I find myself using PhotoShop or GraphicConverter for finding & changing one color in an image. I'm still looking, and now becoming inclined to start programming again (which was always a mistake in the past).
Problems with Programming
Programming, I've avoided for two reasons: (1) two decades ago, I realized I had learned nearly a dozen text editors until I decided to use solely the platform-independent 'emacs'; and (2) I discovered it took me well over 6 months to master any programming language (more for a word processor), yet less than 6 weeks to forget it completely. (In the distant past, it was wise to choose one's language to match the project.)
Macs
However, I switched from Unix to Mac so I wouldn't have to think about computing any longer. Macs had always been built for such people as I, they are beautiful, and they can maintain themselves (or, a networked one can be set-up to do so).
APL
My preferred language is the APL variant 'J', which I use daily to test hypotheses, as I think about my research. Such a language, by the way, is great for pre-school children who can't read words yet. (Whether they'll ever be able to punctuate English correctly is another matter.)
http://www.jsoftware.com
Need for another Language
However, I need eventually to convert my scientific algorithms to run in a Linux shell, using Linux's operators (such as 'filter' or 'tee') to combine the little modules.
I'm now considering (re-)learning the platform-independent 'Java' language, and developing applications on Sourceforge. This way, scientific (ie. free) calculations could be integrated into online scientific papers and placed on other websites as well.Kappy,
Sorry, I thought the question would be a common one confronting casual programmers. With such a variety of popular languages, there is likely no simple answer. I rescind the question with an apology and shall investigate my own problem myself. Sorry.
The question was, being tired of using the wrong but kindly written MacOSX applications, is there a programming language I can learn now that will also serve me in the future?
1. Now I need to write, for example, the program described to process photographic images, whose structures are arrays of arrays. Is there a language with such structures less bloated than C++?
2. Old APL an object-orented language designed for quickly writing algorithms for exactly these structures (the common structures in engineering, science, and mathematics).
3. Is there an object-oriented language for such structures, also used to write MacOSX applications, that one can learn to correctly build applications in 6 months (rather than 6 years)? This means strong typing, static type checking, automatic memory management, &c. An 'interpreter' as well would be nice!
4. For science, it must be a high-level, very portable but standard language that can be compiled into (say) byte code for a standard virtual machine that is on all computers. For image processing on my own little Mac, it needs to be compiled all the way to Altvec-optimized machine code.
5. Is there now such a beast? One that can be hooked at a low level with libraries (written in C or C++), and hooked at a high level to an OOUI (Aqua, in particular)?
Sorry, I expected an engineer to say:-
'Sure, MacOSX's compiler is based on the GCC, which contains a compiler for Java. It hooks at many levels. We use it to send code to afilliates around the Globe; and even Windows users haven't complained.
'Several lexical analyzers have even been written (in C) for Java: so you can parse your spam as well!'
But I don't know the above to be true.
I was looking for reasons why Java might not be the better of the GCC languages for 'amateur programming'. I'm sorry I 'passed the buck', when I shouldn't have. This footwork I'll do myself after I can again install /Developer.
Things I expect to be common problems never are.
Thanks anyway.

Resetting preferences -- what all should I save first?
Hi, I've got to reset my preferences in CS4 since the tools are wigging out. I'm trying to figure out what all I need to save first (going through looking for "Define" dialogs). Anyone have a full list? I'd like to come back to things mostly the way they are now (only working).
Thanks, PhyllisThat script was mentioned in a nother thread, yesterday, and Harbs pointed out that it does not yet back up presets, so you'll still need to do that.
My list is Document Presets and Printer Presets. Prefs reset doesn't mess with PDF presets, workspaces, or keyboard shortcuts (though there's no harm in backing those up too in case of major drive failure). You reload default styles and swatches from other docs that have them in use, so you can save an empty doc with nothing but swatches and styles as a backup for that. I also make backup copies of the two critical preference files, InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData from a working set, then I just overwrite those with the backup copies instead of doing a keyboard reset, and other than the recent file list you wouldn't know you've repalced the prefs, and you won't have to reload anything, but that only works if you've already done the backup on a good set. -

What size should my imported media in After Effects be?
I have a Premiere Pro file that I am trying to convert to h.264 in After Effects. I had originally conveted an avi with a non compatible codec for Premiere to understand to a 720x480 dvd vob file for ease of importing. I didd'nt loose too much quality in the process which I was happy about.
When exporting an HDV 1080p 24 scene from Premiere to AE for a bit of editing, the new dimensions turned out to be 1440x1080. After rendering to an h.264 mp4 movie in AE, the end result was crystal clear but the physical size of the live video was about half the size of the original 720x480 vob file I began with.
Idk if the size of the project is 1440 x 1080 and the video itself is smaller like canvas and image sizes in photoshop? I'm kinda new at this.

Am I missing a step here or does it have to do with my render and output settings?
Thanks to all,
DanI have a Premiere Pro file that I am trying to convert to h.264 in After Effects.
That's not the best method. After Effects can't do multipass encoding which provides better-looking video at smaller file sizes. Use Adobe Media Encoder to encode into H.264. If you're using AE to do some color grading, motion graphics, or compositing, render a lossless video out of AE and use the Media Encoder to do the final compression.
... 720x480 dvd vob file for ease of importing...When exporting an HDV 1080p 24 scene from Premiere to AE for a bit of editing...
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you taking a smaller video file and blowing it up to 1080?
Also, AE is not a good program for editing; Premiere is an editing program. AE is for compositing, motion graphics and (for some people) color grading.
Also also, you shouldn't have to export from Premiere to AE. You can import a Premiere project directly into AE with cuts and all intact.
When exporting an HDV 1080p 24 scene from Premiere to AE for a bit of editing, the new dimensions turned out to be 1440x1080
What do you mean by "new dimensions"? The normal size for HDV video is 1440x1080. The pixel aspect ratio stretches it out to appear 1920x1080 on screen, but the actual pixel size is 1440x1080. Is the Premiere sequence you are exporting different? What video sources are you using? How are you exporting?
Also, as mentioned previously, you shouldn't have to export from Premiere to AE. You can import a Premiere project directly into AE with cuts and all intact.
After rendering to an h.264 mp4 movie in AE, the end result was crystal clear but the physical size of the live video was about half the size of the original 720x480 vob file I began with.
No such thing as "physical size" in the digital world unless you print something out. Are you saying the finished video appears smaller on your screen?
Idk if the size of the project is 1440 x 1080 and the video itself is smaller like canvas and image sizes in photoshop? I'm kinda new at this...Am I missing a step here or does it have to do with my render and output settings?
There is nothing like canvas and image sizes in AE. Now, if your video doesn't fill the composition, it will be smaller... To be honest, I'm not actually sure what your question is. What is the actual problem you're having?
To be honest, you should really start here and work your way through those resources. Not only will it (probably) answer your current issue, but it will make you better able to ask questions in the future, because you will understand the vocabulary. -
What function should I use to composite two effect worlds with ADD mode?
how can I do it without iterate suit?
ADD mode means R = Ra+Rb, G = Ga+Gb, B = Ba+Bb, A = Aa+Ab
Is there a simple way to composite worlds in plugs-in just like what AE does?Hi Tenshi,
you can do like this:
PF_CompositeMode compositeMode;
compositeMode.xfer = PF_Xfer_ADD;
compositeMode.rand_seed = 0;
compositeMode.opacity = PF_MAX_CHAN8;
compositeMode.rgb_only = FALSE;
compositeMode.opacitySu = PF_MAX_CHAN16;
ERR(suites.WorldTransformSuite1()->transfer_rect( in_data->effect_ref,
in_data->quality,
PF_MF_Alpha_PREMUL,
PF_Field_FRAME,
&world2->extent_hint,
&world1,
&compositeMode,
NULL,
0,
0,
world2));
You can replace PF_Xfer_ADD by any transfer mode you like (you'll find them in AE_EffectCB.h).

How long does it take and how should I learn...
Hi. First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
I am new to web-design (as in brand-new xD) and wish to learn Dreamweaver. With Dreamweaver being such a big application, with so many different tools etc I decided it would be best if I learned the languages I wish to use first, so as I know what Dreamwever is creating and I can 'fine-tune' my websites.
The languages I wish to learn are:
HTML
PHP
Javascript
MySQL (I am aware that this isn't a 'language', but would still like to learn how it works and use it effectively)
CSS
My questions are:
In which order should I learn these languages?
Which version of each language should I learn?
For example should I learn HTML5, with it being relatively new and not widely supported, but with the support growing so fast would it be worth just learning HTML5 straight away?
Can you reccomend any books etc for me to learn with? I am a full time college student, so will be teaching myself after college hours.
How long should I expect it to take to learn each language? (If you want to give the answer in days/months assume I will be spending 2hours per day average learning each language)
I do not want to learn every single detail about each language, but I do want to learn to a high enouhg level that I am comfortable with reading, understanding and editing my own code.
To help me understand your answers more clearly it would be great if you can just copy and paste this below (although feel free not to ):
What order should I learn these in?
Language:
Version:
How long (roughly) should it take?:
What resources van you reccomend for me to learn from?:
What experience do you have? (I'm just nosey like that :P):
Other comments:
Please feel free to copy and paste the second half (with all the questions) as many times as you like for each language you choose to tell me about.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated and please, if you for some reason find this post offensive, think back to when you were learning; everyone has to start somewhere.
Thanks for your time,
RyanHi there
You will likely get better response by posting in the Dreamweaver forum.

What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?
You have to make a distinction between the container format (eg, AVI, MKV) and the video/audio format (eg, DIVX). For instance, without additional software, QuickTime can play .avi files with the IndeoVideo codec, but not .avi file with the DivX codec). Further, you have to make the distinction between what can be played using an independent player, eg, QuickTime Player, and what can be played within the presentation software (Keynote or PowerPoint).
You can refer to
<http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/da-dk/powerpoint/item/7acce321-36fb-48d 6-8c76-12cb3a0063ee>
for suggestions. In practice, for presentation clips, I think you're limited to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. I don't know if an additional MPEG-2 QuickTime component is required under Lion, you'll have to check that yourself. So, in the end, it's MPEG-4. Both Keynote and PowerPoint Win/Mac should be able to handle it.
can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files
What's a 'safe application'? And why do you have to buy it from the App Store (yuck!)?
Handbrake, as mentioned by X423424X, is free and works very well. There are probably others, too.
this forum is the best place to learn
Perhaps, but it may not be the place to get answers to this question. Try a PowerPoint Mac user forum, they would have more experience in these x-platform issues. This forum is oriented more towards the hardware side of the MBP platform. -
So I already know Python. I decided to learn Python because I heard it was a good language to start out with. I've got a good grasp of the language and have been making various scripts for my personal needs. I've become interested in other languages and have wondered what I should learn next. So should I learn another language or continue exercising my hacker skills with Python? I want to learn a wide variety of types of programming.
ArchArael wrote:Learning new programming languages is fun but I think it's better if you develop something.
Much more better would be some bug fixing or helping some existing projects.
You can always learn new languages when you need to and save your time for something more useful (girl friend, friends, books, games, music etc).
Learning programming languages just to learn keeps you from doing practice in programming.
Mastering something takes time and practice, as someone told you before.
I don't think so. Programming takes time and practice, sure, but it also takes reading code and reading about programming. You can't give a pen and paper to a kid and say "here, write me a book" and spect this kid will write a masterpiece if she hadn't read a lot before.
Learning a new language gives you insights of how programming works, even on different languages. Both you and I aren't native speakers of English, but learning it changed the way I see somethings in Portuguese and vice versa; I have a different understanding of English and Portuguese that I would have if I've learnt only one of them, I belive this applies to you, too. This also works with programming languages: the way I program in C was different before I grasped some Lisp, and it would probably be different if I hadn't learnt Python, and so on.
Back on-topic, I'd recommend learning C, so you can grasp some of the basics: pointers, memory allocation, structs and unions, etc. Later, I'd suggest you to learn a language that makes you think about programming in a different way: Lisp or Haskell. Shell script is also nice, but I'd only use it to "glue" things together, and I don't see a problem with learning it concurrently with another language.
Edit:
Edit: Forgot to add this,
http://www.e-booksdirectory.com/programming.php
now say goodbye to all your free time and go learn 6 or 7 languages.
Indeed, very good site. I like the Mathematics "folder", too.

What programming language should i learn first?
Hi, i'm Francis, from Rome. As you can see, i have a MacBook White with Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Yesterday i downloaded *Xcode with iPhone SDK (version 3.1)*. I want to create Mac and iPhone/iPod/iPad applications.
I read that there are several programming languages: Java, Cocoa, Cocoa Touch, C, C++, Objective C, Objective C++, Carbon, Classic, BSD, etc...
What should i begin with? +I think Cocoa, Cocoa Touch, C and Objective C, but i'm not sure!+
Can you help me? Thanks!Java, C, C++, Objective-C are languages. Cocoa, Cocoa Touch, Carbon, and Classic are what are known as APIs - resources you can use in your programs but not languages in their own right. BSD is short for BSD UNIX, and it's an operating system (that's the foundation for OS X). HTML is a document format more than a language.
What language(s) to learn depends on your objectives or needs. OS X comes with Python, Ruby, PERL, AppleScript, and PHP languages (and JavaScript in the web browser). Current versions also include Java. If you install the OS X development tools, it adds C, C++, and Objective-C along with the XCode development environment.
Each of the languages has it's strengths and weaknesses. From a purely educational standpoint, C is a high-level language that will teach you about low-level programming. Java teaches very strong object-oriented programming.
Objective-C would permit you to develop using the iOS toolkits for iPhone and iPad, and also application programming for OS X.
PERL, Python, and Ruby are all simple to learn scripting languages and very powerful for all sorts of automation tasks, text processing, and CGI scripting. -
I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. iPhone alerming low charge and I tried to charge and not charging.
What I should do now?Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new". -
Recently, I've stopped getting e-mails from businesses that have been sending me e-mails for years. This was after installing 10.8.3. What should I do to get these e-mails again?
Have you tried to erase your drive and reinstall the OS - you should use recoery (hold Command + R keys while restarting). Since the items in the menu bar are part of the system, a clean reinstall of the system should take care of it.
As it is dangerous to post private information in a public forum, I will ask the hosts to remove it.

LPI Linux Level2I think you can't 'learn' Pratical Oracle 8i, without putting into practice what you 'learned'. When I look at the questions you have asked so far, as far as I am concerned, you have understood the stuff you 'learned' only half, exactly because you have no practical experience. As far as I am concerned you can't 'learn' Oracle from books, this is exactly why OCP is useless. People who have OCP don't 'know' Oracle, they know the books.
There have been no fundamental changes in the database engine between Oracle 8i, 9i and 10g. In fact, the last big change of architecture was when Oracle released Oracle 6, and After Image Journalling was replaced by redologs.
That said more than 90 percent of Practical Oracle 8i is still valid. You won't find any fancy stuff about database control, but you can do without.
However, I would recommend against 'learning' anything in the same fashion you have done so far. Looking at the list of books you 'learned' your understanding simply must be very superficial. Essentially you are now swimming in a pool without water, and you didn't even get your toes wet.
You may not like this opinion, but I am afraid when you are thrown in a pool with water (ie get a job) you will sink immediately.

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?
