    Navigate to your user home directory in finder.

    Then go to Movies / Motion Templates /

    Depending on the type of effect, eg . effects, titles, transitions, generators, unzip the effect into the relevant folder.

    Cheers,

    Yikes, Brendan – you’re so quick I can’t keep up. I have however managed to rig a version that has onscreen controls for Ethan’s gaps which seems like a nice interactive way of doing it. Will post shortly.

    Hilarious!

    Thanks! I have the iphone app, but i think this is better.

    Now the filter I really want is a film filter that simulates iris ramping when doing speed changes. This would work in conjuction with the retimer and add iris effects to keyframes inbetween speed changes. This was a look I could only ever achieve shooting actual 16mm film and changing the speed while the camera was running.

    I know. You’ve been generous. This one probably is not possible.

    Hi Ethan

    Here’s a version of the Panel Filter with onscreen controls for the Gaps and a border.width control.

    I’ll be working on making a 4 and 3 panel option from within the same filter selectable via Pop-Up.

    I know Brendan has probably already perfected his and made a half dozen other Effects this morning, but the rest of us are only mortal and it’s hard to keep up!

    [Brendan Gibbons] “Here’s a slower version of the panel effect.”

    Have you tried using the Build-in/Out function? This would mean that you could control the fade duration and still have the animation work whatever the length of the clip … At least that’s what I’m working on.

    Yeah I had a build in / out on this. I think it’s one of those type of effects where you have a specific reveal rate in mind.

    So by trimming it to whatever length you needed the reveal / hide rate is always the same. Of course unless you uncheck the build in /out etc.

    Cheers,

    You know what, I think I feel the “effect creation” equivalent of writers block coming on…lol

    Surely not possible!!!!! But if it is the case then that’s probably a good thing as you might be able to spend the time down the pub!
