Urban I checked the price on it, it's like $400! That's pretty expensive I think.



oh yes its not cheap its a pro editor (they all range minimum 300 bucks) coupled with a lot of the things you find in adobe after affects. Its still a lot cheaper then purchasing adobe premier pro and adobe after affects by miles and miles. If you go the route of sony vegas pro that is about 400 bucks plus you still need a program like after affects. Its a pro editor but its got a very good value for the money.]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:39:13 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2486-comic-book-effectslayout.aspx Message from EEFilmz urbanlamb wrote:

Cute video from vimeo, I see they used copyrighted music with no issues, I wish you could do that with youTube/Muvizu without upload issues. The effects were cool in it as well.]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:05:33 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2486-comic-book-effectslayout.aspx Message from urbanlamb ukBerty wrote:

Mr Hamster - I had a good look at this when I was thinking what to go for but I found the sound editing to be very basic (no surround sound for example). Has it moved on at all ?



I looked at the newest release and it seemed to me (although i didnt actually download it and check) that the sound editing had become better. Its odd really my corel video package has really good sound editing but very basic everything else. In any event it seemed that the hit film now had true pro editing capabilities coupled with a lot of the features of adobe after effects. To me it seemed to have the best of both worlds last time I checked.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:23:29 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2486-comic-book-effectslayout.aspx Message from InsaneHamster Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:55:41 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2486-comic-book-effectslayout.aspx Message from ukBerty InsaneHamster wrote:

Thanks Aurora, I will have to try it again...I tried Sony once before and it seemed daunting and I had some problem with it but I forget what it was.


Hahaha, I know what you mean about that. when I was a newbie to Sony Vegas I first opened up the program, and then took one look at everything in there.... and I was like: "Uhhh.... nope!! I don't know what half of those things are for!!"
and shut it down.

It wasn't until I looked at some cool effects and such made by others that I gathered up the will to try it again. I've been hooked on it ever since. I remember that the one video that really inspired me was where they had people pretending to magic-duel in real life, and they had such awesome effects! the effects almost looked real too.... and afterwards they showed how they did it in Sony vegas.

I could also make all those comic book effects in Sony Vegas, a video editing software. it has some really nice transitions and text effects, and it also allows you to make your own effects. I have the platinum version too...

You could look into that too as well.

I remember I got it when someone posted on the forums saying it was on sale.
Now I remember who the culprit was hehehe.

Thanks for that

Thanks Aurora, I've bought Sony Vegas a while back, but never tried it!!
it was a nice Amazon promotion, so I just went for it.

Marco, glad you took advantage of that offer. If nothing else it enables you to render from Muvizu as a Targa sequence and then quickly assemble the frames into a video. My favourite method of rendering. That together with easy fades and soundtracks is why it has become indispensable since I got it. ]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:42:10 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2486-comic-book-effectslayout.aspx Message from Marco_D

Maya was used for a custom animation. Photoshop and After effects are the ones that enable you to do the comic strips and its animations.

They are not cheap, but there are open source alternatives.

I looked everywhere to figure out who it was that made that video with the comic book effects in it!

I have been wondering ever since I first saw this, what software or video editor does this?

I'd like to possibly create something with this format in the future. Does anyone know what software has that capability or templates in it or? Just curious I have some cool ideas in mind

Thanks
