Tv snow effect

[happyblimp webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi there!

I'm making a web page where the whole page is a tv. I need one or two of the channels to be blank and just display this "tv snow effect", but can't figure out how...

If you are wondering about what I mean (i'm not very good at English, and i don't know exactly what it's called) i've found a page that has this effect. So go visit: [url]http://www.eyetoy.com/english/index.html[/url] if you're in doubt.

Hoping for some help,
bye

hi,

i can't see any tv noise on the url you refer to, but if you need snow, i'd go with 2 or 3 black & white bitmaps (try creating them using spiked noise filter in photoshop or the like) and just put them on subsequent frames in a movieclip, without fading or anything so they follow one another really fast
that should do i think

Channel 9 has the effect he means (after turning TV on)

I think stylelabs has it right, then add a white stripe with alpha that
drifts down and it will look pretty real.
(turn tv on and go to ch 9)

Here's how I would do it:

Create 3 or 4 different black & ahite screens of "TV Snow' in PhotoShop
using the "Add Noise" filter. Export them as .jpgs (can be low rez) and
import them into Flash. Use each screen as a different frame in a looping
movie clip. So frame 1 of your movie clip is is "screen1.jpg", frame 2 is
"screen2.jpg", etc.

Then on top of that I would add a horizontal white bar that slowly scrolls
down...put it's alpha at about 50%.

To complete the illusion, add some static sounds!

Thanx a lot Rob!

The results where great!

By the way, to you who didn't find it you have to turn on the tv first then click on channel nine...

Thanx again,
Erik
