Custom logo video transition :)

jbnyc 9:06 PM - 19 July, 2011
i wanted a custom logo video transition for a while, so i contacted Nike @ inklen and he told me they were not doing that at the moment :( so i contacted a very talented software developer overseas (he is from this forum but im not sure if he wants me to reveal his identity buahaha lol) and he made me my own custom video transition :) i was very happy with the outcome!

ok, its not really a transition,its really an effect but it works perfect as a transition, i guess i just need to map the effect button to a midi controller and presto!! in the video i did it manually thats why the transition lasts a little longer that it should but its ok to me since my logo has a website on it and it would give more time for people to read it, i uploaded it to youtube but them fuckers took out the audio due to copyright shit, heres a link on my blog...

ahem, I'd like to know as well.
jbnyc 3:17 PM - 20 July, 2011
Hehe im not gonna say how much but it was Radikarl :) get your custom logo transitions guys!! x_0
djpuma_gemini 3:20 PM - 20 July, 2011
So will this load into ME like any other transition and you can use it just like you do in ME
radikarl 3:39 PM - 20 July, 2011
at the moment it is sort of a little hack, since i didn't find a way yet to do a real ME .plugin

at the moment it works the following:
load qtz as overlay, keep it there.

- 1 now slowly turn the qtz overlay up to 100 % <- this blends in the other video through your logo.
- 2 crossfade (this does nothing visible)
- 3 slowly turn qtz overlay down to 0 % <- this blends out the remaining part of the old video

i am trying to get it to work with the fader instead, such that:
1 does nothing visible
2 crossfades
3 does nothing visible
cause then you can leave it on and just crossfade as usual.

and what i would really like to see is the ability to do custom .plugin's for ME.
i am quite new to ME, since i have used VSL in the past, (now i will use both depending on the night, since all my QTZs are for VSL but ME has some cool features too...)

i guess i'll have to ask in the ME forums if custom plugins can be done.

i will keep you informed.
Cheers

Awesome.
jbnyc 4:32 PM - 20 July, 2011
As an effect is very cool too,you can always turn the effect to 100 with the other channel closed and have a black screen with the video playing inside your logo for example,you can get creative with it...

is it a quartz or a png image overlay?

before I got mine i was doing something very simular.
I made a PNG file that was a reverse cutout.... purposeley make the edges a bit bigger than 640x360
mapped it in the preset for Overlays (same place I have my logos that spin in the corner)
when activated (I use the bass driven effect) the overlay pops over the video in reverse fashion (Like JB's)
you can use the knob .... to adjust the size so it thumps to the beat, without cropping.
now... if you could only add effects to the overlay channel!!!!
jbnyc 2:43 PM - 21 July, 2011
Quartz, post a video of yours JC, (nh,nm)

I give you props on the animation but I honestly am having some issues reading what they are saying. The design and colors are making it difficult to read.

Were they done with Boris?
the SOUNDINSURGENT 6:12 PM - 21 October, 2011
I made em with Bluff Titler. I can make them transparent so you can lay them over the videos. I haven't tried to use them with VSL, still learning how the effects all work, lol! This company called Pangolin made a plugin for VDJ so I can resize the logo on screen and have some animated logos instead of the static logos.
jbnyc 4:19 AM - 26 October, 2011
but this are animated logos and not video transitions,just saying...
the SOUNDINSURGENT 12:24 PM - 26 October, 2011
True, but I didn't have to pay somebody to make mine ;-p
I'll just have to make some this weekend then.........

Marv Incredible 7:47 PM - 11 June, 2012
Free time? I think I can just about remember what that's like. :(
Karl W 8:31 PM - 16 June, 2012
Its not hard to make a transition logo quartz. Just need quartz composer and both a BW and WB JPEG/PNG Version of your logo:)

If you want me to make you 1 just hit me up on facebook:)
www.facebook.com

I can help you make you a quartz file that you load into ME QC slot, You change the transition to luma, turn on the quartz crossfade and at the end of the mix turn the quartz off.

This is just a basic logo transition and all I need it a black and white png file of your logo....

Custom ME Effect

I call it Saving Private Ryan. It's a bleach bypass using the v002 Film Effects Plugin

working on some other Custom Effects and Transitions as well.
Dj TopDonn 4:10 AM - 9 July, 2012
Cool. I have not messed with QTZ for a little while. Last time I gave it a whirl and could not quite come up with what I was trying to get done which was a custom transition with my logo on it (probably what everyone else really wants). I did get probably 80% of the way done though. I'm able to see my logo mix in while using the dissolve transition in ME just need it to look as good as the custom one that Smash did but that's where I got stuck! I have attached the .qtz anyone with input feel free to comment

No MixEmergency or Quartz Composer on Windows = no custom transitions for you, I'm afraid.

the SOUNDINSURGENT 2:42 AM - 19 August, 2012
Or just use VDJ, it has way more features then SV at this time. Plus it's stable and the timecode is great. I use but hang out here cause these guys seem to have a lot more knowledge when it comes to encoding, ripping, converters and such, lol! Yeah I know, that probably classifies me as a troll but until I get a Mac or SV catches up VDJ is where it's at when using a pc.
Dj Weasel 3:20 PM - 19 August, 2012
So basically, until I get a mac, I'm out of luck w/ anitmated image effect running win 7; is that what everyone is saying?
