Turning TV off effect?
Posted by Rusty Bridges on September 28, 2005 at 11:50 pmHow could i achieve the “turning the TV off” (you know, letter vanish, white dot in center) I really need advice on this. Is there a plugin that imitates this effect?
thanks!

September 29, 2005 at 12:58 amThere are as many ways as there are types of TVs these days, but sounds like you want the the tube TV look. The easiest way is to:
apply some RGB noise to a whitish solid
animate the Y scale then X scale til left with a very small box/dot
apply a glow with RGBish colors to the dot
pre-render and apply it to your images with a tranfer mode (stencil maybe) or alpha matteI made the ones I use years ago so I may be forgetting something. Part of a good tube TV effect is what happens while the TV is still on so consider adding a bulge, scanlines and/or glare to your images before turning the TV off. A good sound effect can help too.
I don’t know of a plugin that does the TV On/Off effect, but the Foundry Tinderbox 3 & DigiEffects Delirium sets have ones that can add some other TV effects like offset guns, vertical hold, ghosting, etc. As with most things plugins do, those can all be done with AE alone, but plugins are sometimes faster. Of course you could also record the same with a VCR and apply to your images with a transfer mode and/or opacity.

October 15, 2005 at 11:19 pmThe final result quicktime looks very cool. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I can follow all of the steps with relative ease until that last one. Suddenly there are 8 unexplained layers with flashes, flares and keyframes galore. Is there an easier way to decipher what’s happening in the last step or should I abandon all hope? I’m still a relative newcomer to After Effects.
