What is this vocal effect?

Hey everyone. I'm curious as to what kind of effect they are using at the beginning of the song. It doesn't sound like a solo voice, but it also doesn't sound like seperate track singing the harmony. Anyone know how to get this effect?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCl1fDOUpvQ
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like at least two "effects" to me: first, the exact same lead has been copied and is playing along, only a few ms late (probably with a singular delay), and probably some dB's lower. Then together they appear to be bitcrushed/distorted. In a way that I do not find pretty - it sounds like a defective amp, in places.
I don't hear any effect only specific to the beginning though, this is on the whole vocal, tthroughout on all verses.

Not sure how i should go about creating this flash to accomplish what i need.

First let me start by saying my flash file is currently 740kb
in .swf form and I'm not done with it. I'm taking this which was
developed from another developer and trying to customize it to work
for what i need. The flash was bought from template monster. I'm
using actionscript 2.0 in the flash.
Is 740kb big for a flash file that is basically an entire
website?
I'm trying to make this flash load as fast as possible while
implementing the best practices so i can use it for future
projects. Also i would like advice on using various techniques to
accomplish some functionality.
The flash file i'm working on is basically like a brochure
for a client. It consists of "8" main pages, along with several sub
pages.
I have the following questions though.
1. Currently the navigation is on the left hand side, and has
a mouse over animation as well as sound effects with rollover and
being clicked. The mouseover effect just moves the text to the
right a little and brings it back to the original position..
However each button in is an individual movie symbol.
- Should I consolidate the navigation so it's one movie
symbol instead of 8 movie symbols on one page? Keeping in mind that
even if i do make it just 1 symbol i might need to add the 8
navigation movie symbols into that one to maintain the animation.
- Should the buttons even be movie symbols or is there a
better way this should be done?
2. Because of the text for each page, I was using adobes
built in scrolling component for the dynamic text boxes.
Considering there is more then 8 dynamic text instances converted
to graphic symbols.... Is there a more efficient way of doing this,
or is the above method just fine?
3. The flash file contains a photo gallery. Currently all the
images from the gallery are in the same flash file. I was thinking
it would be more efficient to load the images in the gallery from
external .swf files. However i'm not sure if that would be the best
method, and i'm also not sure how to correctly accomplish within
standards.
4. I would like to implement a contact form within the flash
so users can contact me.
5. I would also like to have a testimonials page where users
can submit testimonials. However i'm not sure how to create the
form, but i had an idea on displaying the text in the flash using
xml so it can be easily updated . Just not sure on the proper and
more efficient way of doing this.
6. I would also like an event calendar that displays within
the flash. Was thinking of having this loaded from an external .swf
file as well. Would like the calendar to be xml based so I can
update it myself. Don't need nothing advance, just something that
says "Busy", "Not Busy", and "Book" which would just take them back
to the contact form to book me.
I know many of you don't know who i am, but I would really
appreciate some assistance. Whether its sample flash files, links
to tutorials, advice, anything.
I really want to do all of the above, but also as i'm
learning i would like to make sure i'm doing the above in the most
efficient way possible and up to standards while also keeping the
size low. Would like to do it right the first time, so as i
continue making flash files in the future I'm not writing sloppy
actionscript coding, having sloppy timelines, and or having sloppy
structure in my .fla files.
Also i know alot of you are very busy people, and i'm not
asking for you to do the flash for me but any and all help will be
very greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for you comments, advice, and replies.

Wow, you're really looking to get your money's worth here. :)
I haven't read through your entire list of questions, but
I'll do what I can to help - others here will probably have
different ideas, so feel free to pick and choose which (if any - or
all) you want to integrate.
1. So far, my experience has been that the people that create
the templates on TemplateMonster have a pretty good handle on what
they are doing, and have done what they do for a pretty good
reason. Unless you are quite good at ActionScript, I probably
wouldn't make any major changes to the back end. After all, you
bought the template for a reason. If you want to move the buttons
around the stage, great - edit them to change the colors, great.
But to try to create a button array may be more than you want to
bite into here. That said, it can be done. I've done it. If you
want a sample of the code, drop me an e-mail and I'll send it to
you. FYI: I only do AS3.0 at this point. If your template is in AS2
then one of the other Flash gods would be better suited for code
samples.
1a. The buttons are movie clips for a reason - flexibility.
Leave them as movie clips unless you really like migraines.
2. I hate having to convert text to symbols, but sometimes it
is the most efficient (or only) way to do things. If you want to do
any tweens with the text, it has to be a symbol.
3. You can load the photos from external SWF's or you can
load the JPG's directly using XML. If you are using AS3, I know
that there is tight, simple integration with XML. I'd review a
couple tutorials on XML from some place like www.tutorialized.com
to get a feel for it. Also, look up "Working with XML" in the Flash
Help file (F1). Once you have decided on an approach, come back
here with specific questions and you will get good answers.
4. Doable. Search these forums for "Email from Text Box".
This was covered several times in the last couple of days.
5. XML is one option. You can even have XML give a photo of
the person doing the testimonial and load it all into a single
page. What you can do with this is limited only by your
imagination. This is a very broad question.
6. Someone posted a message about a calendar on here today.
Search for "Calendar" and I'm sure you will get some ideas from
there. Also (and again) www.tutorialized.com is a great resource
for general code and ideas.
You're right, we don't know you. And guess what? That doesn't
matter. We are equal opportunity abusers here. :) I mean that with
the kindest grin.
The things you have asked are very broad in nature and
therefore are quite difficult to give specific answers. We are
always happy to help you when you get stuck, and even to spend a
great deal of time walking you through a specific topic. However,
what you've asked here would take a six-week course to answer to
the level you will need. Grab some free code. Try it out. Play with
it. Break it. The Flash gods will rescue you. But remember, the
more specific your question, the better answer you will get.
I hope this helps (at least some).

Niel has summed it up pretty nicely.

I can't log in to my computer- when it turns on it has a white/gray screen with a flashing folder with a question mark in it. What does this mean and how can I get it to stop to log in?

Hi
I dropped my macbook yesterday and it turned itself off. When I tried to turn it back on all I got was a white/gray screen with a flash folder with a ? in the middle of it? What does this mean and how do I get it to stop so I can log onto my laptop?

Deev
Normally the question mark on the gray screen means it can't find the operating system. Have you tried booting up from the installation DVD? Do that, and when you come to the screen where it wants to begin a system installation you'll notice in the menubar where it say's utilites. Click on that and choose disk utility. from there choose your disk and try to verify and repair the disk. If you can you may want to also try and new install of the system. I don't know how much critical data you have, but reinstalling is an option. did you purcahse you from an Apple store? If you did you may want them to look at it. Hope this helps.

Joseph

When ever I reboot my device, I get an error message that says, "runtime error info.plist not found". What is this, how does it effect my ipod and how do I correct this error?

I have an ipod touch 64gb. Lately, I discovered an error message on the lockscreen that says "Runtime Error Info.plist not found". What is this, will it effect my ipod, how does it effect my ipod and how do I correct the error? (I see the error message when I power up my ipod and when I reboot).

What are the video effects used in this video

I was just wondering if anybody could help me. I was intrigued to find out what kind of video effect is used in this video at 0:16 - 0:18 and if theres a name for this type of video and editing used throughout the video such as the continous stream of different videos etc.

Do you mean the distorted lips or the bad tv reception.
The distorted lips can be anything from Bulge to Mesh Warp to Liquefy.
The bad TV reception can be started with the Bad TV Effects Presets that comes with AE. You can modify or edit these as you like.
I know of no specific style name that goes along with any part of this video other than lazy. It looks like nobody had an idea of what they wanted to do so they just shot a bunch of stuff and threw every effect they had in their bag of tricks at the project. Turn off the sound and it's impossible to tell what it is about. I don't mean to be critical but there's not much original here that I haven't seen a zillion times going back to the Video Toaster days. (probably before you were born). It's nothing more than a bunch of quick cuts and jitter.
Load up about 100 layers, trim them do different lengths from 5 to 30 frames, Select half of them, apply Bad TV1 to that bunch, Apply Bad TV2 to the another 10 random layers. Add tint, bulge, to a few more. set a couple of position and rotate keyframes to a few more then add wiggle to those, then use the Keyframe Assistant to sequence the layers and you'll be pretty close. It should take you about 15 minutes.
If you've got a specific question about how they made this jitter or how they made time stutter ask away. If used to tell a story these techniques are all useful. If you just want to create a jarring montage then follow my suggestion in the previous paragraph then run Brainstorm a couple of times.

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

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?

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 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.

I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

I'll go down your list one by one.
1. Access mail - which I know that the iPad can do.
Enough said.
2. Save an excel or word or ppt of PDF attachment for review.
You can view these types of documents natively on the iPad as Tgara has mentioned.
3. Open an review and maybe change a excel or word file.
There are many apps that allow this. I personally prefer Apples iWork programs, Pages, Numbers, Keynote. They tightly integrate with iCloud.
4. Resave such above files.
With Pages, Number, Keynote you can save/resave files in iCloud and locally. Also you could use dropbox to save your files on dropbox and provide a way for you to share a folder with coworkers/family and they can add/view/review files from there and you can see the changes on your device.
5. Reply to a mail attaching a file.
This is possible in many ways. From dropbox, or another app you can email files with the share button.
6. Be able to rename files and store them in specific folders.
This goes back to dropbox/iCloud. iOS doesn't really have a traditional file system. If you save a PDF it isn't saved anywhere you can just open it. You would have to open an app that supports view PDFs and select the PDF you wish to view. The same goes for documents, spreadsheets and etc.
Hopefully this helps answer your questions.

It means that it cannot locate the operating system.
You need to reinstall from the disks that came with the iMac and which the vendor is required to give you.
