• Lightsaber effect - how do you think what ILM at - it?

  I don't think that all of us would disagree that the laser swords made by people like Ryan Wieber looks something like lightsaber ILM (lucasfilm).

  Let's look at this in a little more detail...

  I'll ignore the episodes 4 to 6 (1970) because they have not been manufactured using technology, and thus we can hardly hope to achieve these effects as we use technology.

  Thus, the series prequel, episodes 1-3 (2000) is what interests me.

  The Phantom Menace:

  

  These swords are very organic looking. They seem to be made up of some sort of system that uses the transfer mode "Add", "Screen", which I was using in the two upcoming movies.

  The color on the sabres is sophisticated enough - much more pleasant AND realistic that all 'Color Correction' used in the tutorials for After Effects lightsaber.

  I don't know these tools specifically, but I guarantee you that they did some motion tracking, some roto work (probably automatic because they can afford it) then added some blur and used for blending modes to create the effect. They can come with their own plug-ins Glow, but any light is generated by a blur applied to a shape using a blending mode.

  Here it's not how they did, because you are probably not using the same tools, but how can recreate you the effect as simply and easily as possible. The technique I did a demo in the video is my version of a manifesto years by Alex Lindsay , who is a friend of mine (who who also worked for ILM at the same time). Compositing digital all the traces its roots to John Knoll , who was one of the designers of Photoshop of origin and who also worked at ILM. It's all math applied to the pixels.

  Discover how Photoshop works with channels, colors and blending modes, so you will be able to understand how the After Effects or any compositing application. Simply following tutorials that use a specific plug-in won't teach you not much more than a possible use of the plug-in to achieve the effect shown. Do some experiments with the basics using nothing but the blur, blending modes and channel command (levels, curves, etc.) and you'll be well on your way to being a guru of EI. Then you can refine your technique and your eye so that all your effects are credible.

• Effects of lightsaber using the dynamic link with Premiere pro and After Effects CS4

  Hi all

  I'm working on a video project and that you want to add a lightsaber effect, but a layer which is suppose to be transparent isn't using dynamic links.

  I shot the video in my head, and everything else hidden.  I made a flash body to put my head on.  Now I know how to make a lightsaber in After Effects CS4. (starting with comp 1 with videos making a white solid layer, and then using the tool pen to make the sword.  Then copy the sequences video and place it in comp 2.  Then to return to comp 1 and remove the video sequences. then on comp 1 making a SOLID BLACK LAYER {that's the problem} and place it under the layer of white.  Then duplicate the white layer 3 times.  Changing each feather white layer mask to make the glow.  so going to comp 2 and take the 1 model and her nest to model 2...  Then change the blending mode of the model nested 1 to the screen.

  The main timeline in Premiere Pro CS4 and I have the video layer 1 to Photoshop file which is pink and the background of this project.  I made a dynamic link to After Effects and copied and pasted the video images and flash to the comp.  Here, I made the lightsaber.

  That is the problem.  The model of dynamic links with video, flash and the lightsaber will not show my pink background in Premiere Pro shows him my video, flash and lightsaber but the background is black.  In case of problems, I noticed if I turn off the LAYER BLACK for the lightsaber effect, I see my pink background with video and flash sequences and the glow of sabre, but my blue lightsaber color will not appear.

  Do more problems I set photoshop to lightsaber model file and I see the video, the flash, the lightsaber but I think because the background is pink I don't get a color glow to the sword (vilot color)

  If the layer of black is supposed to be transparent, so why can't see my background in Premiere Pro using dynamic links?

  appreciate any help I can get,

  Thanks in advance.

  Mr. PETER K

  P. S. - one-way I kinda had this work was I took one of the masks of white and copied and pasted layers in nested layer comp 1.  Adjusted to the width of the mask and the pen and I got a glow of blue ok.  You just can't mask width too because it shows a lot of black.  It is not as good as I want and I hope someone can help...

  Thank you again...

  Well, blend modes don't create transparency, so the behavior is correct - because technically, the background of the model is ignored for the mix of operations, in areas where there are no content below for the mix, only the layer of black color is used. You create transparency good, real luminance based on unmultiplying, that can be done with the Knoll Unmult plugin Red Giant Software (free) or the effect of changing the channel of the AE monitoring bey a color delete effect.

• Lightning effect moves when I save

  Hello, I can't find it in the forums so I have to ask. I don't care a little video for my nephews, and I promised them that I would give them lightsabers. I learned to create a lightsaber effect using the effect of lightning and reduce branching, etc. etc. Well, it works. While I'm editting the video, I use the lightning to cover their swords and they very nice swords. However, every time I record video, 25 720 and 720 30, the effect is always off the mark by about 3 inches. The sword is in the hands of the boy, but the lightning is on the same horizontal plane, but vertically, it is a few inches off. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there something I can do? It is frustrating cause I spent a lot of time editing this effect in one frame at a time on two swords. I wouldn't know it was all for nothing. Thank you.

  I'm not average, but I wasn't getting any help. I was forced to restore all changes the effect of lightning on the swords. However, I tested the heck out of the rendering and effects until I am committed to go further along. What I discovered is that if you record videos in mpeg 720:30 format, and then add all your effects and save the newly edited video as the 720:30 even drop the rest of lightning on the sword. It's the only thing that's worked for me.

  I don't know if it's the right answer, but I tried garbage matte, luma key, adding a solid green background and tracing the lightning effect and then try video merge the effect of old images ontop. Nothing else than to redo all saved to a file mpeg worked 720:30.

• After effects layer mask Question.

  Hello

  
  I am a novice and will try to explain this clearly

  I used this tutorial as a guide for Lightsaber effects. http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=gQ7dC0gWzG0 07:44 video, he explains how to make the effect of going behind the video using a mask... but not using his video, im using an another clip... anways...

  "Layer 3" has my video. I the effect of sword "layer 2", at a point in the timeline, I made a new solid layer with the pen tool master on "layer 1" for the effect of sabre on "layer 2" can get behind the main video image, I cut the points of entry and this (works but). "" "

  My question is, can I add another solid to the mask 'layer 1' later in the chronology for sabre effect on "layer 2" can get behind the next point, where it should get behind? ".

  The problem I had is that for this mask work "layer 1" would seem to be directly on top of the "layer 2". I tried to make a new mask solid, but as it was not directly above "layer 2", it would not work. So, I wonder how do another mask on the layer 1?

  Thank you

  Rather than add a new solid, add a second mask to your first solid.

• After the effects of Pépin masking in adobe

  I have a small problem when you try to put a mask on a lightsaber for a video, it shows the effects before it is supposed to appear.

  If you don't know what I mean here is a link to whats happening

  glitch - YouTube

  Maybe it's my editing, but I can not understand how to fix it

  Just post a picture or pictures showing the problem gives us nothing to work with others that you may have a problem of image cache or you are not using the right workflow.

  

  To diagnose your problem are open to the top of the model, move the CTI on an image where a layer or effect appeared a problem and start to turn things around at the same time. Start by purging the cache using the edition a lot. Then try to find the layer is the source of the problem. Depends on how you created the glow looks like you have a coup; the additional shots or forms in the model. One in front of her face and a little over his shoulder.

  When find you what layer is causing the glitch appear solo this layer, press U twice to reveal all changed properties and then start to turn things off or redefinition of values. If you cannot resolve the problem, then we need to see a screenshot of what you found and have a detailed description of your workflow.

  Composition settings, OS and AE version up to the last comma would also help.

  It's very strange for me that your sample film still has the green screen. My workflow would be key to the actor, so if there is a lot more that should be added to the stage I would make a DI with a channel alpha and 10 bits or better codec and continue from there. At least I'm moving dial my shot at key and then start building the composite. According to the accessory used for the light saber I would be either follow-up or roto and then start to build this effect. The actor already indexed will be much easier to make any roto.

  I hope this makes you in the right direction. If it does not cache problems, it's probably user error.

• My re-creation of lightsaber - difficulties with Blending Modes

  I'm reproducing the effect of lightsaber Phantom Menace. I found the following two frames:

  No dial-up power

  

  I then put my impact on this backdrop (left) and tried to get the same as real (right).

  My resources are Blending Modes, solid layers (hidden) and accelerated blur.  However, I can't do it.  The best that I have proposed is the following:

  

  The real similarity is very low, although they may look the same.  My problem is that I can't do what I want with blend modes. For example, notice how in the original version, the blue along the metal beam/band just behind the lightsaber avoids the wick around the white core - it stops here.  How did do that?  I discovered that more light color sort of realize that, but the blue eyes is so severely compromised.

  Is it possible to somehow COMBINE Blend Modes?  (to get the best of both modes)

  Please can you help

  Thank you.

  Harry.

  What basis? There are so many images posted that I do not know that which you are referring. In general, I use screen in 32-bit mode for effects of brilliance like this. I have to admit that, with the exception of a person showing how a light saber that I was never asked to produce a. I have for light sweeping all the time and they are exactly the same thing.

• effects of IMessage can be received but not sent

  On my old iPhone 6 and I had a problem where I could send effects iMessage, but not receive them. I solved this by disabling the reduced movement and signing in iMessage (some so I had been using my phone for centuries while disconnected (e) which!).

  Today my iPhone more 7 arrived and I now have the opposite problem - I get the effects but I can't send them. When I click and stand on the blue arrow, after a few seconds, the screen goes blurred except for the text that I just wrote. I have no menu showing me various effect options.

  Any ideas what is the cause? I have tried toggling movement reduced on and outside, iMessage on and outside, iMessage signature and put it back, but none of this has made a difference.

  Hi porrig!

  It's always exciting to have a new iPhone. I'm glad to hear you have the iPhone 7 more! iMessages with effects of message sending is a fantastic new feature of iOS 10. You are in the right place for help.

  Your new iPhone Plus 7 has the ability to detect different levels of pressure used. This feature is called Touch 3D. You may notice additional options by pressing firmly on the applications, for example, because of this feature.

  In this case, it seems that you use the right process to send the effect of the message, but the blue arrow may need a firmer touch that you are currently using. Try to use a firmer touch on the blue arrow to see if the message options.

  If this solves the problem for you, but you want to adjust the firmness necessary to display these options, check out this resource:

  The resource applies to your iPhone 7 more, too!

  Take care!
