Wind on mic filter in CS3 ?

Hi,
Some of my early footage taken before I expected to start filming and before I attached the furry mic for such, sees that explosion sound effect one gets with wind on a non furry built in camcorder mic !
Is there a filter or something in CS3 that will strip that out of the sound and retain the voices etc, perhaps analysing the sounds going on before and after the gust of wind ?

Harm,
I do agree that proper capture, of either Video, or Audio, is always the best course. It makes post so much easier.
Now, I've used a "blimp" and a "barney," but never a Zeppelin. I guess that so long as it's not a Led Zeppelin (unless one is into retro-rock), it'd be the same thing. [Grin]
I still get shivers, when I do NLE and digital Audio work, thinking about the flaming hoops that we used to have to jump through, in the days of film and total analog. Still, proper technique is the first defense to fixing it later.

FCP Audio Filter to Lesson Wind on Mic

Hi, I am putting together a video where, in production, there was heavy wind that disturbed the lav mic.
Can anyone recommend an audio filter in FCP that might lesson this low pitch rustling? Any suggestions on settings?
Thanks!

Use Soundtrack Pro's "noise print"

Reducing Wind noise / Audio filter for wind noise

Hi,
I have a project here where a client has asked that I cut out the wind that is disturbing the dialogue in one of the clips. I am not sure if this can be done and would like to be able to advise the client accordingly.
Here's what I know about the clip I recieved: I did not record the audio however I do know that the audio was recorded on a shot gun mic placed directly under the person speaking to it. No boom, just hand held.
I've tried using the low pass filter (makes it too tinny), and even exporting it to soundtrack pro and used the noise reduction application (makes a strange digital sound instead of wind) to no avail.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info about the project files please let me know.
Is it possible to use a filter in FCP 6 to reduce the wind sound?

The noise print (what you did in STP) is tricky to use with wind since the sound varies in intensity and sonic frequency. This is different than simple a/c hum or a noisy air vent in a conference room - stuff that has a consistant frequency and volume.
The problem with wind is that it also works in the same frequencies as human voice - which means when you knock down the wind, you also diminish the voices.
I've used a plugin called Sound Soap Pro (not the simpler SoundSoap) from Bias for a number of years. It works within STP and has sophisticated noise reduction capabilities. It is not inexpensive but if your client is footing the tab, it may be less expensive than a reshoot. (It must also be said there is also no guarantee SSP will clean up the audio to an acceptable level...)
Good luck,

Anyone recommend a good wind noise audio filter?

Hello All,
I'm looking for a good plug-in that will reduce or eliminate wind noise from audio that I'm editing in FCE4.
Anyone have a good recommendation?
Thanks,
Mike

Take a look at SoundSoap.
Watch the overview movie that shows what it can do, and there is a trial download you may want to try out.

Poping sound using wireless mic, filter for it in fcp hd 4.5?

I'm using fcp 4.5 hd on a mac, I have a canon gl2 video camera and a sony wcs 999 wireless microphone system hooked up to it. This evening I did an interview and while it was going on it was making popping sounds through the ear piece . Is there a filter through fcp 4.5 hd that will remove the popping sound. Thanks for all your help.

ok this is normal with ALL audio editing programs
to better explain what a zero crossing is check this wiki page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_crossing
basically it can create a click or snap if there is a RAPID (ie straight line) gain change (increase in height of the waveform)
if you cut at the zero crossing there is no signal thus no sound
if you normalize or increase the gain AFTER you have cut NOT at the zero crossing it will increase the snap/zip/click (the bad sound)
programs like STP have button's to increase the vertical zoom
load a clip into the audio editor in STP and zoom in close into a quiter part of the audio, see how it is all around the middle (where the slightly darker line is) . . . that is the zero crossing of the waveform (also has the handly 0 on the vertical scale/messure bar on the left hand side)
now go to the menu VEIW>INCREASE VERTICAL ZOOM (apple+)
hit it ONCE
notice your waveform looks bigger but sounds the same
you didn't increase the gain you just vertically zoomed into the waveform (check the scale bar on the left hand side and you will notice that the top number is no longer 1.0 but 0.6 (or some other number smaller then 1)
you can keep zooming in till 0.10 is the top number (at least on my screen)
THAT IS ZOOMED in REALLLY close so be carful what you hit
now zoom (regular zoom) all the way in you see your waveform has a bunch of boxes in it those are the actual samples of audio.
now I woudn't recomend working at 0.10 vertical zoom as that is REALLY extreme (I normally work at 0.50 at most)
one other option would be to select where you want to cut and then go to the menu EDIT>ADJUST SELECTION TO ZERO CROSSING> (then select which options works best for you situation)
it will select the closest spot that has a zero crossing (on both waveforms if it is a stereo clip
anyway hope that helps

Need Programming Help - Changing Algorithm for PhotoShop's Oil Paint Plug-In Filter

The existing PhotoShop Oil Paint filter only works well when applied to relatively small image sizes of around 500kb. I need to apply these effects to relatively large image sizes of around 100mb.
I do not have a background in programming, but to my way of thinking it seems reasonable to assume the algorithm parameters in the existing code can be altered so that the Oil Paint filter will work well when applied to large images.
I am seeking a programmer capable of doing this.
The Oil Paint filter is derived from Pixel Bender, for which there is an SDK. Adobe no longer supports Pixel Bender and will not be supporting the Oil Paint filter with the next release of PhotoShop CC. I will need to run the updated filter in PS 6 (on OSX) for which Adobe has promised continued support.
If for some reason it is not possible to enhance the existing Oil Paint filter, creating a G'MIC filter capable of achieving the same goal may be a feasible option. In GIMP there is a G'MIC filter under Artistic called Dream Smoothing that produces results somewhat similar to the Oil Paint filter. Unfortunately, with just one control parameter, it is severely limited. It also does not function well when applied to large images.
The most desirable solution is to have a PhotoShop plug-in filter that functions exactly like the existing Oil Paint filter, with the one enhanced characteristic of working as well when applied to 100mb to 200mb images as it currently does when applied to 500kb images.
Suggestions, advice, guidance or other wisdom on how to accomplish this is very much appreciated.
(I am a digital illustrator in the San Francisco Bay area using OSX running on a new-model MacPro.)

Please advise: I have the [circa 2010] 64-bit v.CS 5 Photoshop (et.al) - that has been updated by Adobe a few times, by my choice- or by their automatic update method (which I try NOT to utilize, automatically: I like to know what it is that is being installed BEFOEit happens. Think the now unstoppable Google Chrome v32 for Macs. Unbelievable gall from Google; and it breaks anything that is supposed to run /stream from the web in Apple Inc's QUICKTIME). Anyway: When I clicked on your provided link (above), it brought meto the PIXEL BENDER page, including numerous archived PLUG-IN downloads; Neither of the URIs (for a plug-in that enables OIL PAINT filter in PS CS 5) - for any of the offered 64-bit Mac OXS plug-ins /downloads. Nothing happens. Can you please explain more; or perhaps what it is I am doing wrong? NOTE: I did not "sign in" at the time, to the Adobe site with my Adobe account ID /pwd; but then - I did not think I HAVE to sign in download a freely available plug-in.
Thanks very much.

What happened to Alien Skin Splat in CS3?

Hi all. I searched the forum and could not find a similar
topic... so I apologize if this has already been answered
elsewhere.
In previous versions of Fireworks I enjoyed the ease of
adding edge effects (such as pixilated or torn edges), but the new
CS3 does not seem to have the Alien Skin Splat filter built into
it.
Can anyone tell me how I can get that (or another similar
filter) for CS3? Or if not, can anyone direct me as to how to
implement a torn edge effect without the ease of the filter?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You're right, I don't know why? But if you still have any of
the previous
versions... In FWs 8 I found it in the Plug-Ins folder you
can copy Splat
LE-eng.8bf and Splat LE Core.dll into your Plug-Ins folder in
FWs CS3 and it
should work.

Transform within the Vanishing Point filter

Hi -
Last night I was trying to copy/paste one image into another, using the Vanishing Point filter. The object being pasted started out much larger than the area I marked out with the VP filter. After it pasted, I clicked the Transform tool (still in the VP filter dialog). I was able to rotate the pasted object, but could not find the handles to resize it. Finally, I managed to redo the original object so that it was small enough to paste into the VP selection, and hit Transform again. That time, the handles were there for me to enlarge it - no problem.
Why would the Transform tool in VP allow me to make my pasted object larger, but not smaller? Or was I just up too late last night? I did search well outside the bounds of the marked VP paste selection, looking for the handles, but couldn't find them. Using CS4 on XP.
Thanks!

Scripting the vanishing point filter?

Hi,
i'm looking for a way to script the vanishing point filter in CS3.
Is there a possibility to do so?
Or do i have to programm that all by myself?
I want to project an image into another with a given perspective.
I have to use scripts, because this action should be automated on a given set of images later on.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Carsten

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

GlowFilter

Hello again!
I am trying to use GlowFilter as is showed on this link :
Glow

I have imported flash.filters.GlowFilter, but I get the

Howcome? How can I solve this?
Is there a better way to make the focus a glow filter

Ah, give the Sprite a stroke.

Render Clouds

So i am new to Photoshop. i got it to try this map making tutorial i found here http://www.cartographersguild.com/content/116-ascensions-atlas-style-photoshop.html
i can't even get the first step right. i try and try to render clouds but the option is greyed out. i know i am just missing something. i've tried creating new layers but that didn't help.

A very important part in what R_Kelly said is in the settings; particularly that the document mode be RGB, not CMYK.
Many of the filters will not work (and thus are grayed out) iin CMYK mode documents.
Another related trick to the one in the tutorial;
Run; Filter > Render > Clouds, then
Filter > Render > Difference Clouds, then bring up
Image > Adjustments > Levels, and move the dark and light pointers together, near the black end of the spectrum (experiment with it a bit) --
Instant winding rivers!
Filter > Render > Clouds, can also be used in making marble-like effects.

Wind Gust noise on mic, what filter best to kill this ?

Hi,
Is there anything I can drag drop or other method onto the Audio to kill the noise of wind gust on mic ?
Even a separate mic ( I have a Rode mic) sometimes is unable to eliminate such, but filming when only the inbuilt mic was available sees this annoying spoiling of the sound track in need of something clever that spots sudden bursts of sound and reduces them right down.
It may need its start stop limits being controlled rather than being applied to the entire audio clip.
Envirographics

Wind noise is a bummer, which is why people go to great lengths to kill it during production. First things first, get your self a good "dead kitty" and monitor your captured sound carefully through good cans. We use Rode's "dead cat/dead kitty" but whatever you can get your hands on. forget black foam, doesn't work well outdoors.
Because wind noise can cover a wide frequency range, you almost always have to attack it manually. You might have better luck bumping that sound out into Audition to look at the spectral frequency display to help you out. Then use judicious EQ to lower frequency bands in which the noise occurs.
If you're lucky enough that some wind noise doesn't co-incide with dialogue, just isolate that sound and wind it back a bit.
You have your work cut out for you. This is one of those things that's better fixed before you "hit the button".

Filter Wind, Different then Ps CS2?

I recently got Ps CS3 and I love the wind filter in CS2 but in CS3 the results come out way different. I was wondering if that is the new wind filter or is there some thing wrong. Is there a way to fix it.
In CS2 the wind effect showed up outside of the text, but in CS3 it is showing up inside the text.

Note that the Wind filter streaks into darkness. It the type is white it will streak out from the type. If it is black or a color it will streak into the type.
