Time Travel Warp Effect! - VFX Editing Tutorial - Without After Effects - Quick FX

[Jay2DaFlow]

@Knoptop Do you know If it's possible to do that in iMovie?

[Jay2DaFlow]

Great vid, but I was wondering, how do you do the time travel image, swirly, mist thing?

[Knoptop]

@Jay2DaFlow Just do a video search for after effects glow

[jimmyruffin1066]

fantastic work..informative

[paideguinha]

What program are u using?

[muskatga]

But if the birds were a picture how did you move them? And do you know if you can get a free editing system that allows alpha channeling?

[Knoptop]

@muskatga I put a motion animation on the image, within the editor. Vegas Movie Pro 11 is available as a free trial for 30 days, it allows for all of these effects. Most other applications offer free trials as well. make the most of them!

[muskatga]

I have a question how did you alpha channel the birds? And do you know of a free software that can alpha channel video? PLEASE ANSWER!!!

[Knoptop]

@muskatga the birds where a photo and I erased the background out to create the alpha. After Effects is the main program I know of where you can 'rotoscope' video and create alpha channel. But it's time consuming.

[FrameStudiosFilms]

So how did you make the shadows?

[Knoptop]

@FrameStudiosFilms of the birds, I just duplicated the image and it's motion onto a new layer and flipped it, then adjusted the brightness down to be dark.

Awsome vids

[ZombieProductionz]

Maybe i'm missing something, but where did you get the particle footage? Or did you make it in AE?

[Knoptop]

@ZombieProductionz it was some old stock footage i had. do a search for some 'particle effects', you should be able to track some down.

[ZombieProductionz]

@Knoptop Alright thanks.

@Knoptop

Could you tell me what screen recording software dod you use??

[Knoptop]

@ComputerTricks100000 I was using a trial version of Camtasia. It's a very nice software package, but a little pricey.

[peterfamilyonline]

[streetbattles919]

Lovin these videos knop

[LJtutorials]

that's really creative. never knew premiere could do that good

[UncleKornicob]

hey i have a question, i use adobe premiere pro cs 5.5 and i use a t2i to shoot i was wondering what do you use to convert the files so you can edit them best of luck -chris

[Knoptop]

@UncleKornicob As far as I know there is no conversion, that's why so many DSLR users have switched to CS5, the software pre-renders as your editing. Are you having trouble editing? (might need a faster computer)

[OggOrbisMedia]

@UncleKornicob Adobe CS5 edits canon DSLR footage natively, but because its an h.264 codec, most normal computers have a hard time with it. If you have Premiere pro CS5.5, you probably have the Adobe Media Encoder, which you can use to convert your DSLR footage. i would convert it to an HD mpeg2 format. Much easier to edit. You can also try a quicktime .mov which you can chose to do uncompressed, but there's no HD preset in AME, and it could still be hard to edit on your computer.

I enjoy that, I learned a few things, please do more.

When I hear your intro title, I always think of Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Best SNES game ever.

[TheAlanscott]

Vegas Platinum 10 £21.00 does 99% of what you want

[MasterCharlz]

lol i had no idea half frames were possible!

[Knoptop]

@MasterCharlz i wear old spice, so anything is possible.

[SuperTomServo]

@Knoptop photoshop's like duck tape it fixes everything

[zimbloggy]

I really think that "Quick!!" could have used another exclamation point.

[CARDIACMEDIA]

What you did for the CU of the photo was really clever dude, nice technique!

[AccuracyFilms]

Awesome video man! I love the dinosaur video! haha

[RedSpectrumPictures]

thanks for this knoptop, really useful. When i saw the photo shot first time I thought about how you did that and assumed it was an effect, and i was right :) I might use the photo effect in a 'film noir' film i'm planning to make in the future, and have the classic detective hold the suspects photos up and everything. I actually prefered the dinosoar short to the birthday one, was it just bad luck that you happened to upload the birthday one first or did you prefer it.

[Knoptop]

@RedSpectrumPictures I had already entered the other video into the contest and found out (too late) that I couldn't submit both. thanks for the feedback!

[KeithCampbell]

Great video...love learning new tricks! Especially when its taught by someone as entertaining as you! Congratulations on the win!

[FromUnderTheRock]

Love seeing how other folks edit.

[javiworld27]

I wanna know the rendering settings you used on the video.

[Knoptop]

@javiworld27 I use an option in Premiere on the export called "same as source" which saves the video as an mpeg file with the same settings as the original video. Not sure if this is the best setting, I just know I've had least amount of issues exporting this way. And then for youtube upload, I transcode all my (full res) edited mpeg videos into 720x1280 .mp4 files - Set at 2 pass VBR 5000Kbps h.264 codec - which makes the file much smaller, yet still retains quality.

I registred on film fights and now I'm working on my mini movie for the remake fight!

[dtmediaproducts]

Love your sense of humor, Dave. and your humility, you don't have to apologize for teaching me something I already know, like you said, it's just fun to see how other people accomplish an effect. It's mostly us film/video/animation nerds that watch this BTS stuff anyway. Rock on!

[LiveThisLifeStudios]

This was really helpful, thanks.
