A community member, Scotious, wrote the following in another thread:
I'm wondering (and actually have for some time) if there is a repository for folks to share these effects template "droplets? I would love access to these (I assume there are 10 for this "fan.") I'd be glad to share some of mine that I've created (i.e. overlapping web page curls & the like.)
Does this exist? Am I just being lazy-- why of course! Anyone else interested or know where to find?
In my reply I said:
Nice idea, but I don't think such a place exists or will exist.
One problem with such a "bank" would be that in order to use the templates you would need a good working knowledge of AvidFX.For example my fan effect had only one video track in MC and everything was done in AvidFX.When I get to the office I will post the actual project file online so that anyone can download it and try and use it.It will be interesting to hear how many can actually replicate the fan using my "template"
I suspect that most people who try will fail.
I have set up a download page but, for the moment, my server is having hiccups and I cannot upload it yet.As soon as I have done that I will post the link here.
Regards
Douglas
PS. The effect I will be posting the AvidFX/Boris Red project file for LOOKS LIKE THIS
marianna.montague@avid.com
The page with the test download of the project file that I created to make the fanning effect is HERE
Please post your experiences in this thread.
I am pretty sure that the file will only be interesting for those of you who are at home in AvidFX.
Hi Douglas
Yes that works good for me. Very impressive. I didn’t put video on all the cards for my demo, mostly I used still images but that shouldn’t make any difference to the functions.
I really like the music, what is it called?
Many Thanks
Ken
Thanks a lot for posting this, creating the thread and directing me here, Douglas. Sorry for hijacking! I hadn't even realized this forum existed. Your FX droplet worked great-- sort of. I Also replaced all the .avi's with .jpgs and all seems OK, but seems like some of the szing of the slices are off. I did nothing to the project file except replace media. See:

Nonetheless, I was really only thinking of simple "droplets" from the basic effects palette, but even these more complicated Avid FX seem to work great. I am not as "at home" in Avid FX as in the "regular" Effect Palette but this is, yes, exactly what I was thinking would be helpful for folks to share. I wonder if interest could be drummed up somehow. Most of us probably do have a place to host such files, or maybe even one could be created for easy upload. Like this tiny sample bin:

-- which when placed on 2 frame grabs on two vieo tracks (on a third white background layer) looks like:

Of course this is a very basic example and easy to build, but these could be very helpful shortcuts for folks....maybe?
