A continuously looping background of vertical lines. Ayato’s tutorials are very advanced. Because English is his second language you really need to know After Effects moderately well to follow all the steps. Some additional plug-ins are needed, but most are available in demonstration form.

A primer for transferring your videotape collection to DVD discs. Are you considering the purchase of a DVD burner with the idea of preserving your aging videotape collection by transferring it to DVD? It’s certainly a good idea given that most tape technologies begin to lose the ability to hold the recording over time. In as few as 10 years, video dropouts and fuzziness can occur with a videotape. The solution? Transferring the tape to a more stable medium is probably the safest bet.

This started as a question that came up regarding how to create an audio feedback each time a button is selected. While this can certainly be done, it is somewhat slow. If you need such a function, this is for you, otherwise I wouldn’t recomend doing this.

Pseudo-hologrammetry is a fancy name for a very simple effect, in which a two-dimensional image is given a hologram-like appearance. It is a quick, pain-free way to add some life to flat artwork. I came up with this recipe when charged with the task of creating a full minute of interesting video using only twelve still images with just one day of production time available.

Shapes and Drop Zones are exciting new features for DVD Studio Pro 2 (SP2). With SP2 we now have the capability to create buttons on the fly on our menus. These buttons can be customized with stylized objects you can create and reuse. Customizing occurs with the use of an exciting wrapper known as shapes.

By using Adobe After Effects, you can make all types of creative wipes for use in your favorite NLE. And, with the aid of Maxon Cinema 4D, you can add some 3D volume to your wipe shapes. We’ll take a look this week at one technique combining these two programs to produce the effect of 3D leaves blowing across the screen to transition between clips.
