I am part of a YouTube comedy sketch group in LA and want to put together a sketch using a proton stream. Our video guy sucks at special effects and want to know if anyone out there is interested in editing a video. Our YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/user/TunguskaYachtClub?feature=CAQQwRs%3D. The video will be a short 3 minute film and we also need to make one of the characters translucent to appear as a ghost. If anyone wants to give it a shot let me know or any tips on how to do it myself that would be great. Thanks GBFans!!

If you search around, you can find a lot of good techniques. As far as any of us doing it for free, I doubt you’ll find any takers. Best of luck with your sketch!
Hey thanks. Ya I should have looked around more in this forum before I asked. Found some good tutorials and am pin to experiment around. I’ll post the video on here if it ever gets done. Thanks again
I have a really old videocamera that can do a transparent effect ‘in camera’ but it forces you to lock off the shot on a tripod, the camera can’t move. What you do is take a frame of the empty room, and then it would overlay that onto whatever video was shot afterward. If things were left where they are in the still frame, they appear solid, but anything that gets moved or enters the shot appears to be see-through.
Depending on your software, you may can shoot that person separate and then composite them into the shot later, but even then if the camera moves you get some ‘sliding’ issues.
