What is this effect called?

I was wondering if someone knows the name of this effect.
http://vimeo.com/15402603
Basically, see how throughout the entire movie there is this soft black fade in the background. Whats that called? Sometimes videos do the same thing but the surrounding halo is out of focus and inside is in focus. Anyone know the standard name of this.

Vignetting - and it's easily acomplished by adding an adjustment layer on the top of your video, adding Exposure to the adjustment layer and then feathering an eliptical mask set to subtract. From a post earlier this morning:

WHAT iS THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?

WHAT'S THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?
first of all i don't know what's this kind of photo effect called, i just describe it as bright, clean and w/o lack of contrasts
secondly, i wanna learn how to achieve this effect.....really don't know how
need help here....
btw i don't know where to post this post....so i just start from here =)\

For my part you are welcome, Lisa.
then what about the color tone here? it's very pure and clean, a touch of blue i think, is it from the nature light or from photoshop effect?
The colour tone is (hopefully) a result of the nature of the natural light faithfully reproduced by the high quality of the camera (and film if relevant).
You will get quite different and sometimes rapidly changing tones of colour depending on the natural light; this is different for different times of day, different directions, different weather conditions.
Just to mention a few comparisons, the warm light from the setting sun is quite different from the cool light from the clear bright sky through a (high) window to the north at noon, and the light of the sun can be changed immensely by the huge white (or grey) filter sometimes applied to (parts of) the sky.
You may do many things in Photoshop, but photography is still an art form, not just cheating, at least for some.
I believe one of the real provings of cameras/films is the ability to reproduce the delicate but profoundly different tinges in snow on a clear day.

What is this effect called/how can it be achieved?

What is this effect called, and how to create it?

Hello,
I' m just curious about this gradation effect's name, and how to create it in Photoshop.

Hi,
Chuck is on the right path. You can construct this with the Filter> Pixelate> Color Halftone..., but then you have to go further.
The pattern is made of two sections of the same halftone channel, one rotated 180 degrees and horizontally offset.
Basic outline:
1. create a linear gradient (you can work in color or black/white)
2. Filter> Pixelate> Color Halftone... use a large radius value for bigger circles, and set the channels to 0 or 90
3. after the filter has run, go to the Channels panel and find a transition in one of the channels that you like
4. Cmd/Ctrl click on the thumbnail of the channel to make a selection
5. go back to the Layer panel and turn off the background layer with the full haltone filter effert.
5. create a new layer, and fill it with a color (you want the dots to fill so invert the selection if needed)
6. create another layer and fill it with a second color
7. rotate the layer from step 6 180 degrees, and move it so the same size circles in the middle of you doc overlap. Now offset horizontally so the center point of circles lies halfway between the layer created in step 5.
8. now marquee a selction that goes approximately half of the doc and create masks for both layers.
9. Invert one fo the masks so that what you see is small dots of one color increasing to the center, and the second color decreasing back t the edge
10 create a third layer and fill it with one of the color and drag copy the mask from the dot pattern layer of the opposite color. Drag this layer in stack order to just above the background layer.
11. create a fourth layer filled with the opposite color of the step 11 layer. Drag this layer in stack order just below the layer you created in step 10.
12. Now (there's surely some math that makes this more accurate but I was just eyeballing it), move the top layer with the mask linked down so it is below the other offset centers by ~60-70 %. Unlink the mask and move it back so more of the dot is exposed and starts to show when it will intersect with the other layer.
13. Do the same mask movement with the second color dot layer so more of that layer's circle shows, until each dots tangents match up.
Here's my layer panel for reference.
regards,
steve

The loading bar at the bottom of my browser has disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the lastest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP.

The loading bar at the bottom of my Firefox browser has suddenly disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the latest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP. I have many add ons and I usually automatically install the recommended updates. This problem has never happened before and switching my browser on and off again does not solve the issue.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I am not sure why this suddenly happened. I think it may have been after my usual updates but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it at all.

What is this process called in Elements?

I purchased PE9 and inside the box cover they show that you can take two picture
s and change the faces of a person if one looks better. What is this process called because I want to look up some tuto
rials on how to use this great feature.
Thank you

Here is another approach to "open" a closed eye for example.
Use the lasso to roughly select the good eye.
Feather the selection a few pixels to soften the edges.
Copy and paste the selection to a new layer.
Flip the layer horizontally.
Use the Move tool with arrow keys to position the copy eye over the closed eye.
If some of the edges are visible (maybe due to not enough feathering) you can remove these with the Eraser tool and a soft brush.
This method of course can be used to copy eyes between pictures. In this case resizing of the eye layer might be needed.
Also it works well for things like camera flash on just one of the subject's eyeglass lens.

What is this phenomenon called??

What is this phenomenon called?
And is there a sollution for?
We recorded a 1080i50 signal that was switched on a Black Magic ATEM switcher on a Atomos recorder.
When importing this file in FCP all seems fine,.. but after exporting it.. these strange pictures appeare at some random moments in the export.
Work around is to preview file in quicktime.. where this phenomenon is viewable... and then take out those frames that are corrupt.
BR
Sander

Hello Tom,
We recorded the feed in Apple Prores HD. During recording ( and live switching ) none of these phenomenon were visible. After viewing file in quicktime before editing... or after viewing FCP export in quicktime... it's visible.
We use three cams that are set to 1080i50
2x Sony pmw 350
1x Sony Ex1
Videofeeds are fed to Black Magic Design ATEM switcher. TVS.
2x BM ATEM TVS sends feed to livestream encoder and to Atomos Ninja 2 and Atomos Samurai recorder, recording in Apple Prores HQ. ( all switchers and recorders are tested with several versions of software )
The HDD's with the recordings are transfered to a few relative new Apple iMac's with FCP.
Is this phenomenon also artifacts or is there an other name for it?
I've also a movie posted with example https://vimeo.com/58436983/ and another pic:
When connecting the two recorders to one source switcher... this phenomenon appears in both recordings...at exactely the same time.....
Hope this info helps.... Thanks for helping me!!

What is this Effect/Transition?

What is this effect/transition used at the beginning of this video?
Where can I download this effect so that I may use it?
http://vimeo.com/26966352

You can also achieve this look by using an overlay of a 'film burn' effect.
The overlay clip seems to have some hand-written 'Leader' included.
Also, it does look like there's a bit of added 'Film Grain / Dust / Hair' efx
created by some sort of 'Old Film' plugin.
A few samples:

What is the effect called example: when you jump a ski jump and you see each frame

what is the effect called example: when you jump a ski jump and you see each frame

I think what you are looking for is Time Remapping .. select the clip and then apply the rime remapping to suit .. when applied you can catch the top right or left edge and slow it down further. The faster you can record in frames per second the better. OIf the effect needs really good quality then go down to video quality and select Optical Flow

What's that effect called please?

Hey guys :)
I have a blank lol!! What's the effect please where someone remembers the past, looks up and the screen goes all wobbly (kinda like in scooby doo)

What is this Symbol called and what does it mean?

What is this symbol/icon called and what does it mean? It goes away with it's "notification" and I would have no idea where to find it should I need to.
Please. And thank you.

It did come from Apple as I had to deal with this. But in speaking with another "Genius" I was trying to describe the symbol to him and never got an answer.

What is this effect?

Hi
I've got a new site to do where I need to scroll up and down
a fishing rod. I have found a golf club site where they section the
club into sections and when you click on a section it shoots to
that part of the club.
The site is
http://www.taylormadegolf.com/pickone/
(you then need to pick one of the clubs to see the effect).
I'm not expecting somebody to tell me how to do this, but I
could do with knowing what this effect is described as, so that I
can search forums or google it to find some info.
Of course if you do want to supply me with a basic file I
wouldn't mind ;) ;) but any help is greatly received.
Thanks
Wayne

That's a simple sliding effect. A fishing rod moving up/down
would be accomplished by tweening the rod movieclip to a new
location in _y when the appropriate thumbnail button is clicked.
You can use either the Tween class or FUSE Kit to make the tweens
easier:

What is this design called?

I apologize if this has been answered before, but I don't know what to search.
I want to know what a design of this type is called.
example www.hondahookup.com
It has multiple columns that change size with the browser. It also "floats"? as in you can see the boxes slide apart slightly when the browser size is changed.
Specifically, I'm just looking for a term or name to search so that I can figure out how to build my own.
Optimistically, if anyone has a tutorial they can link me to (I run CS4), I would greatly appreciate it, but honestly I can deal with just what the layout is called.
Thanks to all who respond.

Various terms have been used over the years: liquid, fluid and elastic page design spring to mind.
You'll find hundreds of tutorials if you search with those keywords.
This kind of page layout was widely used a decade ago when nested tables, specified with % widths, were all the rage. CSS was in its infancy back then.
Today's CSS driven layouts tend to lend themselves more to fixed width page layout.

What is this feature called?

iTunes has this feature:
http://i39.tinypic.com/abgj7m.jpg
What I'd like to know is what that is called. I'm really curious and I'm unable to find out what it is called elsewhere.
If you know what this is called, please reply.

Thanks for your response. I managed to figure it out because of it - it's called a spectrum analyzer.
