Words with special effects

Ok, so what I'm trying to do is have the words "capital punishment" and after a few seconds have the last "t" in punishment fall and look as tho it is hanging...get it? How would I go about accomplishing this. Would I start in Live Type then go to Motion? Any help would be appreciated!
BTW- I'm new so a simplified/detailed explanation would be great!
Thanks!

While individual characters can be edited (rotation, position, size, etc) by selecting them, probably the easiest way I can think of to do this would be to have the T as a separate text element that you line up with CAPITAL PUNISHMEN, then animate on it's own...

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

Custom Tilelist Component With Special Effects

I am trying to create a custom tilelist component which incorporates some special visual effects I need for my app. What I'm trying to do is replace the blue themed rollover color which shows when each item is rolled over with an effect which applies the glow effect to each hovered over items image and label and also converts the image to color whilst the item is hovered over (the tilelist itself is converted to greyscale upon application complete). At the moment I have it set so the blue them is completely removed but I want to instead alter the rolover them e to how I've described above. Here's what I mean below, which I made using static images and text (the social item is being hovered over in that picture), followed by the code for my custom tilelist so far:-

I'm unstuck :) The key to getting this to work is to import the packages you are going to use in your component.xml.
So, for me..I had to add the following:
        com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.type
        com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form
        com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form.impl

Help with Special Effect

I am building the opening page for a website in Flash, I'm
not the most experienced with Flash, but I'm getting a lot better
and I know many of the functions. However I'm having a problem with
an effect. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out, but here it is.
I have a US Flag that is square it was built in Flash using
about 10 - 12 layers with some motion. I haven't flattened the
layers ( I don't know how too, or even know if I'm supposed to do
that at all).
I am trying to take the last of the constructed square flag
and transform the Square into a Circle encompassing all of the
elements within the square in a nice smooth motion.
What is the best way for me to go about this?
Thank You

First off...no need to flatten layers. In fact, there's no
such thing in Flash (unlike Photoshop or Fireworks). You can only
delete layers (not to be confused with Layer Folders whichcan be
collapsed on the timeline, but not flattened). Most animations need
their own layer anyway and the number of layers won't in and of
themselves effect the size of the resultant SWF (the contents of
those layers will, but adding more layers won't make too much
difference).
Secondly, for the animation effect, you probably want to swap
out your finished square flag (multiple layers) for a single
graphic (new layer). Then, depending on the exact effect you want,
you could use a circular mask on the square or perhaps shape tween
the square to a circle.
Hope that helps!

Popup window with special effect

Hi,
I',m working on an application based on swing. I need to display a pop up dialog which is being displayed as growing window in the status bar of my application.(I dont know the term used for it. It's similar to the one displayed in MSN Messenger when a new user is logged in- "A window which is displayed with a curtain rising effect").
I can either go for a JPanel or JPopupmenu and paint thecomponent in an incremental manner. I would lik to know whether any other better approach is available?
Thanks

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Problems with special effect pictures on importing, why is this happening?

I have taken pic in expressive mode on my camera ( panasonic fz200) and when i have imported them they don't have the effect that I used, is there something I have to do on importing or do I have to change photos setting on my own in develop module or is something at the camera I have to change.

If you shot RAW, Lightroom will not read the expressive mode setting from the camera and apply them to the photo. It should work shooting JPG as the setting are "baked in".

Videos and special effects... (?)

Okay I just found these.. they are great! But I was wondering... is anyone else having issues when filming either backlit or in the snow?
My vids are... as best described... "mucky" looking!
Is there not an option to increase the contrast or to 'vivid color' saturate the look?
Thanks...
===== and for those that do not know about the special effects: =====
Chapter 5 Using the Video Camera page:53
Recording Video with Special Effects
You can record video with a variety of special effects on iPod nano.
Note: Video effects can only be selected before recording. iPod nano can’t add effects
to or remove effects from recorded videos. You can’t change video effects settings
while recording.
To record video with special effects:
1 Choose Video Camera from the main menu.
2 Press and hold the Center button to display the video effects palette.
3 Use the Click Wheel to browse the effects, and press the Center button to select one.
The viewfinder screen appears with the selected effect.
4 Press the Center button again to start recording with video effects.
5 Press the Center button to stop recording.
If you exit the Video Camera screen to play back your video, video effects are turned
off. To resume recording with a video effect, repeat steps 2 through 4.

Okay, why am I the only one who couldn't figure out how to get Special Effects with my video camera? The User Manual instructions: see pg 7, which is correct and pg 53-54 seem to be written incompletely; and (as I read them) indicate that with "Video Camera" on the screen, the center black button should be held down, thus providing the choices of Special Effects. WRONG. What does provide the array of Special Effects, is to select Video Camera (with the black center button), opening the lens of the camera. Before recording begins, hold the center black button down until the Special Effects are displayed, THEN select one and begin recording with it by quickly depressing the black center button. To end, again depress the black center button.

NEW Iphone os 4: Why is the photo on my home screen a special effect?

My home screen photo is a special effect (x-ray). The problem is actually much bigger..The original set of photos downloaded into my new iphone os4 are ALL special effects! What happened? All the original photos in iphot 09 albums before download are NOT edited with special effects. I tried removing an App called Mega Camera which I thought might be the culprit. I still have the free PS Express installed........ then I restored the phone to original settings. When I downloaded chosen photos after the restore every one looks like a special effect was applied. I am out of solutions . PLEASE HELP. OH BTW the new photos I take with the camera on the phone are also a special effect.

This may help in the future:

ID CS3 Transparency weirdness with text/special effects

Okay, I was putting together a brochure for my job today and noticed this oddity. I placed a text box w/text over a stock photo and printed it out - everything was fine. Then I added a drop shadow to the text and all of a sudden the photo became rather desaturated.
Just in case this was some sort of weirdness with that particular document, I created a new document, placed several photos on a page, and then created a text box and applied a drop shadow. All the photos on the page again noticeably lost saturation, and here's the weird part, the text box didn't even touch any of the photos. It only appears to affect items on the same page - items on other pages are unaffected.
It seems whenever you have an object or text frame on a page with transparency or a special effect like a drop shadow, all the photos on the page lose about 20% saturation.
Am I missing something that I can compensate for, or is this a bug/feature?

I'm using shadows and transparency overlays in my InDesign CS3 application. When I output that file to a press resolution pdf file, it appears fine. However, when the digital printer runs the project, the transparency disappears and i get white boxes in the place of transparent boxes.
The print provider is a non-offset source and is using some other RIP to process the file. Is the transparency feature posing a problem in the offset invironment?

IMovie special effects gone with 08?

are the special effects from imovie gone? im talking about where you can put clips in slow motion and reverse them, do lightning effects, and mirror. i cant figure out how to get to them if they're still there.

i just imported some of my old clips from iMovie 06. it stripped them of the effects though, thats why i wanted to know how to add them again and everywhere i've looked they're saying that there aren�t any right now. i might ask apple if they plan on adding them and will it be a free upgrade because i know more people than me are hurt by this lack of effects
as for making new projects, i clicked the "+" in the bottom left hand corner, and it let me create a new project. they keep all of your old clips in the same "bank" though, they're not separate. but unfortunately they don't keep your movies how they were the old iMovie, they give you bare clips. you have to make them again, unless you had effects, then you cant because of the obvious.

Currency translation differences with an effect on earnings

Product Version: SAP R/3 46.C
Componente: EC-CS-CSF-E Currency Translation
In currency translation program of ECCS (tx CX40) the prior year portion of translation differences that affects earnings is posted in current period in the earnings retain item (ER) which according to SAP documentation "Currency translation differences with subsequent consolidations" is correct, however when we run the currency translation on subsequents periods this amount is posted again generating a multiplying of differences on each period.
In accordance with section u201CBu201D of SAP note 553586, the carryforward item (retain earnings) was assigned to translation key 5, to avoid multiplications of this difference in every execution of currency translation for current period. This correction was applied successfully, however the problem is now generated when we run the currency translation in every subsequent period.
SAP notes 582815 and 553586 was applied succesfully.
We also verified SAP note 1045402 changing the translation key 5 to 1, for balance carryforward item (retained earnings) this avoids the difference effect on subsequents periods, but generates a translation differential effect undesired on this item, since this is a historical item that not must be altered by currency translation.
Additionally we read SAP note 509509 and we think that this issue corresponds whit symptom 2 of that note.
Step by Step:
Transaction: CX40
Setting of Translation SET in translation method:
1.- MARS-GAP-Monetary:
1.1.- Items of balance sheet
1.2.- Translation Key 1
1.3.- Item for differences: income statement item with an effect on earnings
2.- MARS-GAP-NonMonetary
2.1.- Items of balance sheet
2.2.- Translation Key 6
2.3.- Item for differences: income statement item with an effect on earnings
3.-MARS-MOR-Monetary
3.1.- Items of P&L
3.2.- Translation Key 5
3.3.- Item for differences: income statement item without an effect on earnings
4.-MARS-MOR-NonMonetary
4.1.- Items of P&L
4.2.- Translation Key 6
4.3.- Item for differences: income statement item without an effect on earnings
5.- MARS-HIST
5.1.- Items of balance sheet
5.2.- Translation Key 6
5.3.- Item for differences: Balance sheet item without an effect on earnings
6.- ANI-BS-FX
6.1.- Items of differences SET MARS-HIST and Carryforward Item for special items in transaction CXD3, the same item for the balance carryforward (retained earnings)
6.2.- Translation Key 5
6.3.- Item for differences: Balance sheet item without an effect on earnings (the same item for the SET MARS-HIST)
7.- ANI-BS
7.1.- The special balance sheet item in Transaction CXD3
7.2.- Translation Key 5
7.3.- Item for differences, the same item
8.- ANI-IS
8.1.- The special income statement item in Transaction CXD3
8.2.- Translation Key 5
8.3.- Item for differences, The same item
Note:
1 .- According to the point A of the note 553586 was included the FS Item 484051011(difference item for SET MARS-HIST) in the conversion SET ANI-BS-FX
2 .- According to Section B of the note 553586 was included the account for carried forward 481000001 the special accounts set up in the transaction CXD3 in the conversion SET ANI-BS-FX
3 .- According to Section C of note 553586 are included special accounts set up in the transaction CXD3 390000 and 251200, in the conversion SET ANI-IS and ANI-BS respectively.
When run the currency translation in the new year 1-2011, the prior year portion of translation differences that affects earnings is posted in current period a credit to earnings retain and debit to account difference in SET for this account. This amount is same on special balance sheet item 251200, in tx CXD3, also found on the statistical FS item.
Then in subsequent periods, 2 - 2011 it posting another credit to earnings retain and debit to account difference in SET for this account, generating a multiplying of differences on each period, even though the difference for this account (ER) in the log of the translation currency is equal to the difference posted to the previous period, show this in transaction CX34 for items of translation (1) for this account until 1-2011.
Edited by: Ana Brito on Jul 25, 2010 8:10 PM

Hi,
just a information how I did a workaround about this:
The opening (movement type 100) of the balance sheet item "differences of currency translation" is customized with "don't change...".
Every increase to "differences of currency translation" works with e.g. movement type 120 and will be carried forward to 100.
Maybe this is a scenario you can use...

How to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?

how to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?
kindly recommend me any best one and tel me step by step how i will add more plugins n filters

A Plug_in normally come with an installer or install instructions. Check the documentation for the plug-in you trying to install. It sounds like you don't know what plug-ins you want to install. In that case you don't need to install any. At some point you may read about a plug-in and what it can do and feel you have a need for it. Then you will have a reason to install a plug-in that is not installed by default. There may also be a cost involved most worthwhile plug-ins are not free.
Adobe Optional Plug_ins downloads are Plugins Adobe want to remove from Photoshop and no longer install by default. Also at some point in time these will no longer install into the current Photoshop for Adobe will remove feature or interfaces the use. For example the CS5 optional plugins will install in Windows CS6 perpetual version 13.0.1.3 but not in Subscription version 13.1.2 or perpetual Mac version 13.0.6 fot its 64bit only and the Mac CS5 optional plug-in for Picture package is only a 32bit plug-in.
You will need to keep and maintain old versions of Photoshop if Adobe remove features you use in new versions of Photoshop.
