  1. Hi,

    I would like tomake a videolike these:

    http://www.thedougandjonshow.com/god/videos/dougs-relationship/
    http://www.thedougandjonshow.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=26:futur...blog&Itemid=45

    1) The white background I can make it with the chroma key right?

    2) How can I add special effects? What program I must use?


    3) Can I add more effects for the software?

    -----------------------------------------

    4)
    In this video there is a tunnel at the beginning, where I can find one like it? Usually where you can find free videos for integration to work?
    5) n this video at 57 seconds, the message is a special effect that transforms how I can get this effect?
    6) How can I do that the text still seems to slip or fall down?

    Thanks.

    P.s.: I hope to have posted in the right section, otherwise I apologize to the moderators.

    The effects in that video are very basic, just layering and animation using keyframes. Any non linear editor can do this easily e.g. sony vegas, premiere pro etc...


    3) Can I add more effects for the software?
    I don't understand this question? Yes, you can use other effects with the software

    No sure, try searching Google ?

    For the text effect, you can apply a distortion effect, maybe keyframe scale and apply a blur in the editor . You have access to more filters in other software like after effects.


    6) How can I do that the text still seems to slip or fall down?
    Not sure what this is referring to specifically , but you can animate text in any editor

  3. Thanks for the answer!

    Can I use also Pinnacle or Adobe premiere? There are some free guide?

    No sure, try searching Google ?
    Yeah, but there isn’t a video with tunnel – I have searched “Tunnel Video” or similar but nothing. How can I search this video with tunnel? And there are free collections?

    Ehm I’m a beginner there are guides for the text effects?

    Why don't you use the tunnel in the video you offered as an example?

    OR

    Grab a camera and drive through a tunnel.

  5. Hi,
    Funny that this popped up on my Google alerts. To answer you're question, the white background is actually shot on a white background. We just masked Doug out. We only chroma key when we are replacing a background: ( http://bit.ly/1fRcaP ). The white background videos just have added elements to them.

    We usually use AfterEffects to do special effects, but these were so basic that we used Premier.

    The tunnel in the beginning was bought from iStockphoto.com.

    The text was done as an animation in Flash for an entirely different video. We repurposed it for this. It's a lot easier to use the program Live Type to make text effects, but to make it morph into other stuff, we have an animator on staff.


    I look forward to bopping around this site!

  6. Hi Jonathan,

    WoW, it's great to have advice directly from one of the founders of the site. Thanks for the advices, you do a fantastic job!

    One last question, the effects in Premiere are included in the program and then there is a standardized procedure or I have to manually add them?

    P.s.: ehm...is there a windows alternative to livetype?
