How to make a Suppressive layer?

Greetings.

What do I mean by 'suppressive layer? I'll explain the situation.

I want to create a hole in a picture, but be careful what I can change that image at any time without the obligation of creating a hole once more. The hole would result in the partially transparent image.

I thought I could:

(1) create a lower layer with my image

(2) create a top layer including a form that erases everything under this layer

The result would be something like this:

Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you for your time.

Hello Michael,

A way to do what you want:

(1) put your image of the space on a layer.

(2) add a layer below the layer of outer space. This step is optional, but with a layer below is a good way to check that the 'hole' works correctly.

(3) make a selection in the shape you want for the hole.

(4) select > Inverse.

4) click the mask layer at the bottom of the layers panel.

  • How to make a vector shape / layer in a mask without pixelation it?

    Watching Nigel French on Lynda.com transform a form (using the custom shape tool) in a mask, but following the same exact procedure he does not work for me:

    Select a new layer, press U, select Custom Shapes, has chosen to target record, size and release.

    Voila! In the video, he gets a layer mask on this new layer. I just get a new layer - and it's driving me crazy. He goes on to pen the layer to soften the edges, which, if it is possible, can be useful.

    I tried half a dozen variations such as drag and drop, creating a new layer from a solid fill color and me cannot work out how to make the shape in a mask. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I'm guessing that there is a setting I'm missing somewhere, maybe?

    just to be clear, I know that I can put a mask on my vector form by clicking on the icon of the mask or of the layer > vector mask > current path, but this is not what I'm asking. I want to know how to make the shape I paint in a mask on a layer, we layer (as in the right of it).

    If you can see, the video is here at the minute mark 7: create a logo with some shape layers in the Photoshop course for designers: shape layers

    The transcript over this article reads

    I want to fill the shape with white. So I'll do my foreground color white and press the Option or Alt + Delete as follows, and I also want to then adjust the opacity. I'll take the opacity down and here's something I want to do. I would like to pen, so that make us it sweet. Now, you may be thinking, wait a minute, all these layers of shape are vectors, how can they be feathered? Surely, they cannot be softened. Well, actually, they can.

    If we go to the masks Panel, I can simply increase the amount of feathering and you can see as I do he soft all edges in this path. Now another problem I have is that the inside of this shape of the target is displayed in the center of the bagel and we do not want that to happen. So I could spend time trying to position it just so, so that we don't see. But easier than that I'll just double-click my masks to make it smaller.

    Without having read what you have written here, I just Ctrl + click on the content icon in the palette shape layer layers to select the transparency of the layer.  This selection allows you to hide a layer in the layer to hide targetint then click on the Add layer mask in the layers palette.  The current selection will be used to create the layer mask.

    I'm doing a film type Brady Bunch for my wedding. The basic idea is that my bridal party mime along a song and its display in a mosaic of Brady Bunch effect... I am registered and just really struggled with Quicktime Pro - Ive downloaded the Pro part of it... but I can't work on how to make a grid of movie... any help would be appreciated!

    If I understand correctly what you want to do, the basic strategy is the following...

    (1) create video clips that you want to merge into a single player to create your space video editing (rather than temporal). (I.e., Audio and/or the content of each video clip is more later extracted from its source file merged together as independent data tracks in a single-file container with a maximum limit of 99 tracks.) NOTE: It is usually better to create or pre crop your videos to the format of image that you want to display in your final file. While the poster may change subsequently, chasing elongation may introduce distortion of object in the final poster.

    < image edited by host >

    Here is a collection of files that I used to create a file of example of which, according to me, you try to accomplish.

    (2) once the individual clips have been created, the next step is to extract/copy the data of your main working file. I normally recommend a workflow 'extraction' here to eliminate the possible accidental change in sourcing video clips that may or may not be needed later - especially if you can be prone to make mistakes during the learning process or need to re - edit track content later for one reason or another. In this case, the video tracks of the first 8 files posted above will be merged together as 320 x 180 'windows' in a grid 3 x 3, playing in a display area 960 x 540. The 9th (central area of window grid) will display a "title" image PNG which will be added later with a single audio track. The result will look something like this:

    < image edited by host >

    In my case, the videos are displayed is attached directly to the other and without borders. Show images title, borders, scaling and positioning of the content is all areas in which you can express your individual creativity so the image above is presented just as a small example of what can be done.

    (3) the next step is to open/create your 7 QT main window work (target player) Pro. To make this simple select the 'New player' option under the menu 'File' of QT 7 Player.

    (4) at this point you repeatedly open your video clips source one by one, extract data from a track audio and/or video you like, store their pointers in the temporary memory, select the target drive and then copy references to date of temporary storage track in the new player. Most of these operations, you want to open and use the 7 QT Pro fenΩtre 'PropriΘtΘs' ('Command-J' keyboard shortcut).

    The base this workflow is to open/select the video file source, open the 'Properties' window, select the data track, you need to extract/copy, press the button "Extract" to extract the data from a separate playback window (to avoid accidental loss or modification of the original file), select the player window newly extracted, press the "Command-A" keyboard shortcut to select the entire track (or change the track if necessary before using the shortcut) , press the keyboard shortcut "Control + C" to copy the reference to the memory track, select the target drive window, open the 'properties' if it isn't already open, make sure that the playhead is an insertion point in the timeline panel and press the hotkey 'Command-Option-V' (or select 'Add' option menu change) to copy the track to your target file.

    At this point, you can close any unnecessary player windows always open and repeat the operation until all the data of video clip has been added to your target drive. Your 'Properties' window for the target player should now look like this:

    (5) the next step is to scale and/or get compensation for the display of individual video tracks. This can be done immediately after inserting the video tracks individual or all at the same time. I encoded my files to the resolution and the appearance I wanted to display, I didn't need to scale my files in this example. In any case, go to the widow of 'Properties' of the working file and select the video track, you want to work. Once the track is selected, open the tab "Visual settings" piece of tat in the half lower the window "Properties". Enter values waterproofing if necessary, but try not to change the proportions of the display. Then adjust the values of offset for each track so that the individual display areas do not overlap each other. In my case, it was implemented first video track to an offset "0 x 0. Because my songs were to be displayed in the boxes to display 320 x 180, additional video tracks were offset 320 x 0, 640 x 0, 0 x 180, 640 x 180, 0 x 360, 320 x 360 and 640 x 360 with the offset of Center (320 x 180) reserved for future use by my 'title' PNG image. Video tracks are normally assigned to layers automatically when added to the target file. These layer assignments may be changed if necessary for duplication, but since none of my pieces overlap, I have all my video tracks placed on layer '0 '. (However, this was not something you need to worry at the moment.)

    (6) using the same basic strategy, I opened my PNG image in a window of player QT 7 and used the keyboard shortcut "Command-A" and "control + C" to copy the image into the temporary memory. However, since I want this image image displayed during the entire period of the reading of the final file, I use a different strategy to copy it in to target player. In this case, I select the target player and the keyboard 'Command-A' to select the length of the file. At this point, I can use the menu 'Edition' the option "Add to selection and Scale" (shortcut of keyboard 'Option-shift-command-V') to display the image copied for the duration of the file.

    (7) the last data track, which I have added to my sample file was the audio track. Here once again the strategy of the video track is used to extract everything first and then copy/add data to the target file. This concludes the copy of data workflow and I recommend that you use the "save under...". "Option from the file menu to save your project as a MOV file standalone.

    (8) at this point, you can cut your file if necessary. In my case, all video tracks (as well as the audio track) was of different lengths. In my case, I started reading all the content at the beginning of my file, but you can offset the departure of any track anywhere in your timeline if you want. (Another chance for you to express your individual creativity that can be desired). However, since each of my video track ends at a different point during playback, I found it interesting to cut my file at the point where the audio track ends and before the last video track ends playback. Basically, you can use the 'I' and keyboard shortcuts "O" to define 'in' and 'out' points for your target video if you want. Once these are defined, you can use the Edit option "Trim to selection" menu to physically cut your project file.

    (9) when the project is complete, you can export it to a format of final distribution. In my case, I used the El Capitan Finder 'Convert' possibility of embedding to transcode the project file M4V h.264/AAC high quality to "flatten" all the contents of simple video and audio tracks. The target format was probably "overkill" for my purposes, but provides a good example of what you can do according to the time and effort that you can invest.

    Hi realpommy. If you encounter problems with HDMI output and let Windows determine the pilots, who could be part of the issue.  First of all try to install these Windows 7 drivers provided by HP for your laptop: NVIDIA nForce Chipset MCP77MV graphics drivers

    After installation and reboot, if you still have problems with video output look in Device Manager, to ensure that there is no error, or "unknown devices".  The section "Understanding of the symbols of error Device Manager" in this document:
    Information from the Device Manager in Windows 7 to illustrate some possible errors.

    If there is no error in Device Manager, do through these documents for more information and the last for troubleshooting ideas:

  • Effect of smoke steam - how to make realistic water vapour and wipe

    Hello

    looking for a tip or tutorial how to make a realistic smoke effect as with steam on glas. I want to use for the production of steam video in Adobe Premiere.

    I want 2 stage:

    (1) video coverage with increase in smoke steam (not more than 2-3 sec).

    I try with the laboratory of particles but the effect was so childish video and smoke covers not more than video. The effect was like ghost as to the title of the video and no coverage on video.

    How to make smoke to cover more video and how to make this realistic effect?

    (2) I saw glass and the glass is taken up with steam and grave. Behind glass, I see video blurines with people.

    Glass wipe invisible hand and I see hollow wiping shape this people. How to do this? I I think that just take a few PNG with steam n the water down and cover the videofilm and animate the wipe.

    But how? How to animate the wipe on glass and wipe the steam and drops? With what effect? How to animate it?


    His chaotic, I know, but give me nail, tip, hint or tutorial for this problem of resources.

    Sorry for my FR.

    I have Adobe CC last package.


    I would use the Fractal noise to create steam. Put on a mask to feathers on the layer to make the shape you want. Tweak the parameters, you should get a few nice smoky eyes.

    Then I would use an adjustment layer to change the levels of shooting (to decrease the contrast and add some blur to make it look like the steam on the glass.) Then, I would use another layer as a track matte to he will wipe away.

    How to make a cartoon head turn - YouTube

    If you want the head and the body to transform independently, what you have to do, essentially, is double the head to turn groups in the body (for example as Wendigo) group, replace the head body art work and also to replace the triggers. And delete any sub-groups, you don't need - such as the mouth, eyes, etc.

    Or, more simply, you could rotate the head and the body simultaneously by simply replacing the work of head layer with total body art.
