@oscar21270 If you're using the demo, you'll get a message about purchasing the full version when you quit.

can i use day for night on Fx lab pro

thanks

[fxhome]

@jaafilm EffectsLab does not include the day for night filter, although you might be able to approximate it with the provided filters. However, I'd recommend using CompositeLab or VisionLab.

[BlastersBlisters]

Nice tutorial! Also, what is the difference between Effects Lab and Visual Lab Studio?

[fxhome]

You can see full information about the differences at the FXhome website - head to the products section and you'll find a comparison chart.

[Nifferdawn1]

VisionLab is all of the FXHome filmmaking products combined. all in one. it is the most worth it. buy it.

[cstar1233]

Can i do similar digital grading on effectslab?

[fxhome]

EffectsLab does include a range of colour correction filters, so you can do some grading. It doesn't have as big a range as CompositeLab or VisionLab, though.

[cstar1233]

Hi, is it possible to create your own presets for effectslab?

[fxhome]

Yes.

[dorkvader1881]

can you tell me how to use stock footage on vision lab pro? Whenever i try it doesn't get rid of the black background automatically like fxlab pro.

[fxhome]

You need to click the title of the clip once you've added it to the timeline. This will display its properties in the toolbox, and you can then change the composite blend method from normal to screen/add/etc.

[drewnosaurus]

cool nice job i just have a question - if i get compositelab and effectslab will they work together? thanx

[bacon2964]

thanks for the tutorial! 5 stars

[sk8forlife9494]

Hi I would like to ask a question? Is visionlab like the software and then you buy the effects seperate? Please leave some info that would be great thanks! :)

[Pontiz6]

There are three different products, Effects lab lite/pro, composite lab and vision lab lite/pro. Vision lab is a mixture of effects lab pro and compositle lab pro, with a few added things that are restricted to vision lab.

Vision lab has all the effects incorporated, so you could either buy that or the two other ones separetly

[fxhome]

That is correct, except we no longer sell the lite versions.

Also VisionLab comes with extra features such as the lightning engine

[Pontiz6]

I'm just beginning to learn myself, Thanks :)

[SlikProductionsInc]

ummmm, my version of compositelab pro doesnt have the preset day to night. Any suggestions on how to get the same look a different way?

[fxhome]

You should be able to achieve a similar look with a mixture of contrast, saturation and a blue tint.

[SlikProductionsInc]

ok, thx for the help. The thing that i like about fxhome, is that u support ur customers, nobody else does that and i'm so glad i bought effects lab and composite lab

[hynesa02]

why do you have more options on your day for night then i do on my effects lab pro...its not fair :(

[fxhome]

The tutorials were created using VisionLab Studio, which has more features.

[hynesa02]

i still dont know how you managed to make the guys face blue the whole time, was it masking...i wouldnt say so as it would take a hell of alot of time...please help ive searched you website!

[fxhome]

Yep, in this case it was masking, and it did take a little while to roto. :)

If I were doing the shot properly you'd probably want to shoot the actor on a greenscreen to make the transformation easier.

For subsequent shots it'd be far easier to use on-set make-up. You could always manipulate colours in post still, like they did in Sin City with the Yellow Bastard.

[hynesa02]

few that makes me less agitated! well rotoscoping that would be a pain! well thanks anyway

[SanoSVK]

[OoooohTube]

I am in love!

[fxhome]

My voice has that effect on people. ;)
