Light effect and transition help

[tranquil mica]

Hi!! I wanna replicate the flash light effects that are in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5hWeFIepW0&ab_channel=B8TEMAN
im interested in the way the light goes darker and then brights again (during the entire video) and the transitions (the slow motion + light) as well. I wanna do it on sony vegas if possible, if is it now, then AE. Actually i just need the names of the effects so i can look for a tutorial on youtube. Thank you for the help! <@&988557626814103572> <@&988555897523560538> <@&719484483468001371>

Well to me it looks like they've added a small amount of s_flicker at the start. Then a directional blur. Here's a really good tutorial for a very similiar effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l4Zaiie3jI One thing i'd add he also adds an opacity to go dark before doing the directional blur.

[tranquil mica]

thank you so much bro, what about the transition, the slowmotion + the light

[stark badge]

well thats just using time remap. do ctrl alt t. to enable it then selecting the keyframes from start and end of clip you can then graph the scene to be faster at the start then slower.

[tranquil mica]

thanks ma

man

appreciate it

@muted zodiac

[muted zodiac]

aight

so explain to me what do you want to do?

[tranquil mica]

check the original video i posted, the way the light goes on and then darker

while the screen is shaking

[muted zodiac]

alright

so first of all you add Brightness & Contrast

Enable Keyframes

[tranquil mica]

it works in AE_

Or svp?

[muted zodiac]

Yeah Yeah

Its Better In Ae

[tranquil mica]

In general AE is better than svp?

[muted zodiac]

Yeah Its Much Better

[tranquil mica]

ok its because i used to use svp but i want to learn AE now because i saw its better by far

then when i have enable keyframes

[muted zodiac]

you add 2 keyframes

one in the beginning and one in the end

set the value to 100 On The First One, The Second One to -50

[tranquil mica]

The value you mean brightness or contrast

or both

[muted zodiac]

nah they're in one effect

i can make a preset for you to make it much easier

[tranquil mica]

yeah sure

[tranquil mica]

is it called brightness and contrast_

like that?

[muted zodiac]

Yep

[tranquil mica]

where i find that plugin mate? im currently editing

sry im just noobie in AE i just known SVP

[mint fog]

Just type it in the effect searchbar (usually on the right of the screen)
It's built-in

[tranquil mica]

ok thank you mate!!

[tranquil mica]

nothing appears 😦

[mint fog]

Try "bright"

Ur effect box might also be too small to show, depending on the others
Don't forget to try scrolling xD

[tranquil mica]

i just fount it xD

thank you for your patience

[tranquil mica]

bro i did this but instead of working as i expected it starts in 100 and then fade to -50 instead of fluctuating like in the video. what should i do?

[muted zodiac]

Make the keyframes a little far from each other

Drag the last one to 5-7 frames more

[mint fog]

thats more flicker than regular brightness tho
flicker is a sapphire plugin
but u could reproduce it by making a keyframe at 0 (dark brightness setting), then two or three frames later another one (lighter brightness setting).
then copy and paste them over the entire length
that simulates the flicker

[tranquil mica]

i have shapphire

but in sony vegas

can i like export it to AE?

[mint fog]

i dont think so... depends on the format ig
never heard ppl do that tbh xD

try copying it over and see if u got it 😄

[tranquil mica]

wait can i just like open the folder that i have shappire

i installed it 3 or 4 years ago but how i search into my disc in order to find shappire

[mint fog]

every plugin is in some folder in ur install location i think

[tranquil mica]

i donw know if you understand me my english is so bad

[mint fog]

so if u got a plugin folder in vegas, and one in ae, then u could just move it and see what happens

[mint fog]

ya its okay^^

[tranquil mica]

normaly where do you see the plugins you are using

in AE

[mint fog]

if u search flicker in the effect search bar u will find it if sapphire is in ur plugin folder

[tranquil mica]

in SNV we have a mini-screen named "effects" im wondering if there is something like that

[mint fog]

the path, i dont know by heart

[tranquil mica]

k omw

i have uni.flicker

[mint fog]

but it wont find ur vegas folder

[tranquil mica]

it is not i guess

[mint fog]

u need to copy it to have a chance it could work

but if u wanted to use vegas anyway and u have sapphire there... why not make the flicker in there?

[tranquil mica]

it will work?

Like in the video?

[mint fog]

s_flicker is the effect that does the light/dark-switch-effect in the video

if u have that in vegas then u can do it in vegas and it will work

[tranquil mica]

ill check it :p

thanks you are my hero

[mint fog]

only if it works ig xD

[tranquil mica]

ig? instagram? XD

[mint fog]

ig = i guess

[tranquil mica]

i think it works more or less just i need asjust the parameters

[tranquil mica]

HAHAHAHAHA

not even close

[mint fog]

dw i wondered for a day what istg means last week xD

[mint fog]

nice, good for u

[tranquil mica]

do you think i can make the transition in SVP as well

so i dont need to use AE

[mint fog]

its just a little blur and shake, and sapphire has both of those as well if i remember correctly

u want to work with brightness settings as well tho, for the "get darker before transition" thing

should all be doable in vegas

[tranquil mica]

and the slowmo?

[mint fog]

it looks as if the speed of the single clips doesnt change
meaning u could time stretch the whole clip (the parts)

i dunno if u can do that in vegas. should tho.

[tranquil mica]

all the clips are slowed down or

[mint fog]

clips as in scenes

[tranquil mica]

i dont get you honestly

[mint fog]

so the speed doesnt change within one scene
meaning u dont need time remap or stuff

that means its way simpler and doesnt need fancy effect stuff

and that means its likely u can do it in vegas

but as i dont use vegas, i cant tell you how

[tranquil mica]

Ok i think i got it

[mint fog]

guessing this could help:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pitDwJfx6LI

[tranquil mica]

i think i will try do it on SVP then if i cant i will try on AE maybe

the light off is called blur right?

[mint fog]

no

[tranquil mica]

when the clip ends

[mint fog]

blur makes things unsharp

the light/dark stuff is brightness

(or flicker)

[tranquil mica]

i can use flicker on my transition?

[mint fog]

u can use flicker on the whole video if u want

[tranquil mica]

but now i want a fade in fact

[mint fog]

i feel the longer the flicker the less impact it has tho

[tranquil mica]

the problem is i dont find a tutorial to directional blur on SVP

[mint fog]

for a fade-in id recommend brightness or opacity tho

[mint fog]

and regular blur?

theres like ten different ones

[tranquil mica]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Raocm-FbQ0E&ab_channel=Suewo is like this?

being honest i want one that looks like in the video, i like that video so much

[mint fog]

thats one of them, yes
ive been told its a good one^^

theres also gaussian (which i used for long)

but if u got a linear blur effect and dont find a tutorial, just play with the settings until it looks like u want.. i dont think its that hard to mix it up

[tranquil mica]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3QdbpmSlNw&t=6s&ab_channel=rinxana what about this one?

[tranquil mica]

it seems it will be like this hahahah

[mint fog]

dont ask me to look it over xD
look how the blur looks and decide if u want to use it

doesnt matter which exact one it is - if u feel it looks good, use it

[tranquil mica]

yep u right

thanks !

sry for making you waste your time haha

let me know if i can do something for you

[mint fog]

np thats what im here for

[tranquil mica]

nice i got the blur

do the clips have an s_shake effect as well?

in the transition i mean

[mint fog]

i dont think so
it has a little wiggle shake during the entire time but no sharp shakes as far as i see
but u can do the wiggle shake with s_shake soooo.... kinda yes xD

[tranquil mica]

idk why but the first transition is perfect but if i copy the effects its just doesnt work the same

the first clip has the perfect minishake but the rest dont

[mint fog]

i just see the wiggle sorry
granted, in the first one its more obvious (and maybe amplitude a little higher) but its really more a wiggle than a shake..
im not that good at recognizing effects tho

but maybe @rain portal or @sand ether see something? they're both really good at this.

[tranquil mica]

i hope so haha but for today im done, i have to study

thanks a lot!

see you

[rain portal]

@tranquil mica use bcc lens blur do gamma 1000

then use brightness and contrast

make the brightness 50 - 100

around

thats all tbh

[tranquil mica]

should i animate the brightness to slowly fade out?

and how can i do the slowmotion at the start of each clip?
