[madzoid]

Hello everyone !! I'm using Videostudio 9 and...

If I want to see a sequence... ex: a plane going from right to left insted of left to right ( from the original video )..... how can I do it ???

It's easy to do with Windows movie maker... just to use the "mirror" effect

but, I don't find it in Videostudio 9....

Can you help me please ???

Thanks

Insert the video into your project, then check the "Reverse Video" checkbox in the Video tab.

Try looking at the Burgers Transition Site http://www.burgers-transition-site.de/

He has some transitions you might find useful and a filter called FxBench. It is a programmable filter to give a variety of effects including "mirroring" but Stefan Burger calls it "Flip Horizontal".

Check it out. It has lots of good stuff and you can even write your own filter.

I only mentioned transitions as an aside. What you want is FxBench. That has the filters, not transitions, that will give you the mirror effect you want. Look for Flip Horizontal in FxBench.

Hello Spectre,

I'm glad that there are at least some people that find FXbench usefull (it was some effort so far).

However, I'm currently working on the FXbench plugin for Adobe products, hoping that this will increase the FXbench community and will someday lead to extensive sharing of free filter definitions (that's the reason why I implemented FTP-support lately).

If you have any suggestions or ideas on that topic, I would be glad to hear about.

Regards,
Stefan

Just to keep you going, Stefan, here's another person loving the FXbench filters, as much as your effects.
Never underestimate the silent majority of happy users.

I'll second that. I had been using both, and until reading this thread forgot to re-install it after my system crashed. I have it now.. Thanks Stephan for providing these

How do you import the FxBench Flip Horizonatal Filter into VS9 so that you can use it. I have downloaded the FxBench software but do not know where to go from there? New at this game. Please no technical jargon.

Hi Winifred

Double click the burger exe file (setupfxbench104beta.exe)

This will install the filter on to your pc.

Re-launch VS 9

You can access the filter from the library ‘video filter’—‘FX bench’

Drag the filter to a clip in the timeline.

‘FX bench’ should show in the ‘Attributes tab’ on the left.

Now select ‘Customize Filter’

Good Luck

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Thank you so much, I had got as far as retrieving it from the library inserting on to the timeline - but it was just black and white, I never even thought of clicking the customise filter button. I am so pleased. Thank you once again.
