it might help if you actually describe the thing you are asking about.
Maybe someone who can spare the time to watch this trailer you mention can tell you.
I have seen this technique used in a few films in recent memory such as SWAT (bad movie but cool look in some parts). Its hard to explain. it can be seen briefly in the Hidalgo Trailer at about 1:10 approx. when the voiceover says "and if the elements don't get you" It's right when that guy falls off the horse and the sand flys up. If anyone knows what this is called or can tell me how to achive it, it's be great. thanx in advance

Do you mean when he falls off the hourse and the flames come on the screen? that is just a fancy Wipe. Spawn uses that type of transition a lot. If you want to acheive it you could either find a package that lets you do those types of wipe, or just do a vertical Wipe from your transition menu and try to add some sort of lens flare afterwards
you got a link for the trailer?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yea, it is difficult to visualize what type of effect he's thinking about... The only thing that springs to mind from that description in an 'action' scene would be shutter/film speed (ie, the distorted speed of fight scenes in 'Gladiator' & infected scenes in '28-Days Later', where flying debris is very clear despite exaggerated speedy action by the cast, usually in close-up).Originally posted by tatorhead:

no its not the wipe, its basically what reved said, kind on exaggerated. The trailer is at http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/hidalgo.html.
sadly:
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Although unfamiliar with Hildago, have noticed the film/shutter speed trick I mentioned used in a few more current popular movies. Besides Gladiator & 28-Days Later, it was used in many handheld-camera war scenes in Saving Private Ryan. Also, I haven't seen SWAT, so have no idea if we're talking about the same effect or not..? Have you seen any of the three movies I mentioned for comparison?Looking for something at Apple.com?
The page you tried was not found. You may have used an outdated link or may have typed the address (URL) incorrectly. You might find what you’re looking for in one of these areas...
i havent seen any of them actually, but i think that we are on the same page. I read a post somewhere on how to do it (curses for not bookmarking it), but shutter speeds and saving private ryan were both mentioned, so i think that even if we're not on the same page, we are most likely in the same section of the library. Any info on how to achive this look would be great.
If you're shooting video, you can adjust the shutter speed of your camera from the normal default setting. The normal default setting is somewhere between 1/50 of a second to 1/100 of a second.
Instead of going with the video camera default of between 1/50th to 1/100 setting you would select a higher shutter speed. Anywhere from 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, or 1/8000 (not all cameras go that high, most however do go to at least 1/2000). Keep in mind that you lose one f-stop of light everytime you double the shutter speed.
Which shutter speed should you use? It's all up to your preference.
The increased shutter speed is probably more of an outdoor affect that usually centers around a speedy activity that sometimes requires a bit of real estate to properly perform.
One exception to the outdoors rule for the higher shutter speed technique would be an indoors martial arts type of fight, however, you will need more and more light as you increase the shutter speed.
Just watched the Hidalgo trailer... its got nothing to do with shutter speeds...
Cash is right, its just a fancy vertical wipe... most probably using the film/burn-out filter in After Effects...
