Set everything to 0 at the beginning of the clip and to 0.3 / 4.0 / 0.0 at the end. These are just starting suggestions so feel free to change them as desired. ophelia on "Advice on how to accomplish this effect" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/advice-on-how-to-accomplish-this-effect#post-71027 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 16:19:09 +0000 ophelia 71027@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Thank you for your input, and you are welcome re video example. pseudosafari on "Advice on how to accomplish this effect" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/advice-on-how-to-accomplish-this-effect#post-71026 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:57:45 +0000 pseudosafari 71026@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I'll hazard a guess. Not sure about Vegas, but in Premiere Pro I was able to achieve a similar effect with a similar clip using Levels applied to the end of the clip, and then I adjusted the RGB White setting to like 6. The camera footage you get has a lot to do with it though. The Levels effect needs the light from that window in the clip to get it to "bleed" all over the whole clip and kinda swallow it up. Play around with Levels though and you might get your desired results. I like the effect and thanks for sharing this. I'll try incorporating it in some stuff. If others have ideas about how to get this effect, I'd like to hear them. ophelia on "Advice on how to accomplish this effect" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/advice-on-how-to-accomplish-this-effect#post-71025 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 12:38:12 +0000 ophelia 71025@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hello - there is a nice effect used in this video, near the end, at approx 3:36. <a href="http://vimeo.com/21369550">http://vimeo.com/21369550</a> I think that a similar effect was used several times in the movie "Everything is Illuminated".

FCP will import png sequences, as will most other NLES. If they are not png freiendly they are tga, psd, or otherwise friendly. Bottom line is any alpha friendly uncompressed file will work. That said, if looking at rendering image sequences, you may as well just bust out an uncompressed quicktime. Far more handles when it comes to fields, ect.

Save those as png files and import them into vegas with alphas. You can then lay em in as you like with the video. Keep the native res the whole way and you won't even have to reposition the alpha freezes. shane007 on "Super effect" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/super-effect#post-67511 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 05:55:58 +0000 shane007 67511@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Ok!

I don't know If I've explained it clearly, but I think I could replicate it. BTW it certainly IS possible, if one person can do it, so can another! ;0) birdcat on "Super effect" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/super-effect#post-67507 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 05:25:02 +0000 birdcat 67507@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ There may be a plug in to do this, and it would certainly be easier if the camera was stationary but without actually having done this (and someone will correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure): At first glance, in Vegas, I would save the several frames I wanted to freeze, rotoscope to isolate the person, place each "still" on a separate track with one track as a parent for motion control to match up with the camera motion and voila. The hardest part will be the motion control. shane007 on "Super effect" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/super-effect#post-67506 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 04:53:01 +0000 shane007 67506@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hi guys!

It's a video special effect, a way to make kids go "oh cool!" and little more. But, we have a budget What we want is to set up a camera and projector in a hallway/passage. At regular intervals, or when someone walks past a certain point, the camera will capture them walking, freeze framing about every 1/3 second, and putting silhouettes of that image on the screen. We want each image to stay there, basically creating a trail of "freeze frames" Can anyone help? Email, or call 570 237 0124. Thanks!

When you watch clips of movies from "The Making Of" a movie, the picture is super sharp. The final movie has a type of softness like Film and is a much smoother picture and funner to watch. I tried different filters in AE like Boris Looks but all they do is give the picture some blur, contrast or sepia colors. I was wondering if someone can guide me to how they get that movie look in Hollywood?

But for down and dirty 'Insurgent Filmmaking' you really need your own gear (or much as you can get!) That means on hand you should have at least a prosumer rig (if you're serious about shooting) and one or two consumer 'crash cam's' of a similar format to cover extra angles as needed, a basic sound kit, lights (again basic works) and for heaven's sake a desktop or laptop capable of doing Non-Linear Editing without blowing up. With that basic setup you can get a whole lot done. Anything extra needed can be begged, borrowed or rented (when the house stays open that is.) speedyg41 on "How to fog a pond" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-fog-a-pond#post-58812 Thu, 20 May 2010 17:34:38 +0000 speedyg41 58812@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I'll look at the sites for sure, Though I do like practical very much! Thanks guys. This is my third short (two of whivh were o.k. and one was a $7,000 train wreck ) and scared me away for ten years. Now I remember why. After about 50 hrs of pre-prod and casting I had to call the rental house to ask a question about a lens and they guy told me that he has been closed for over a month and didn't take the web ste down for people who had reservations before he closed. SO now I have items that I can't rent in Boston and have to go to way more expensive rental house to get stuff. That means My intitail shoot dates are gone and I loose my perfect actress!

When you shoot block your shots off to allow room for you to put a 'fog effect' in when using compositing software like AFX or in your NLE software. To get a good idea of how you can 'Do it in post', go to videocopilot.net and look at the many visual fx tutorials. I do believe there's even one on how to do fog. Save your money and building time. If not, you'll need lots of dry ice, calm winds and locations willing to allow you to put a large enough contraption up to make it all work. speedyg41 on "How to fog a pond" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-fog-a-pond#post-58773 Wed, 19 May 2010 17:29:15 +0000 speedyg41 58773@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Thanks, I was toying with the idea of two machines and running pcv pipes with periodic holes drilled into them and floating them (with children's floaters for swimming) into the pond.

But the chilled fog machine helps create thick clouds of fog that lay close to the surface and dissipate as they rise. These are usually created using dry ice or liquid nitrogen. Heated units use some kind of inert gas or an electric pump to push mineral oil, glycol or some other combination that is vaporized and turned into fog or mist. You would of course need a power source to use this more common system that can often be rented or purchased outright for fairly reasonable prices. Also, the handling of these units is probably less accident prone than the chilled system. If you worked it right, rigged your spots and/or other lighting right to generate the erie effect you probably want, and react quickly enough, you could get a good burst or so from the heated fog to provide the effect you're looking for. That, or using several units to lay out a huge volume and start action and rolling before it begins to rise and dissipate. speedyg41 on "How to fog a pond" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-fog-a-pond#post-58767 Wed, 19 May 2010 16:31:01 +0000 speedyg41 58767@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ How would one go about putting a low mist over a section of a pond?
