borders on videos, and text scrolling across?
Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2016 10:33 pm
Hi everyone.
New to this program but loving it so far.
I do have a couple of issues that need resolving though... haha....
1) I have created using cropping and scaling a PiP look, involving 2 videos. I need if possible a filter or something to allow me to blur the edges of these videos so they melt more with the background.
Is there an easy way to do this? Like a border option?
I thought maybe creating in Photoshop a png with transparency and overlaying it over so it fades into the background (if it was a solid colour), but how would you go about this if the background wasn't a solid colour?
2) Is there a way to creating scrolling text... but going across... not just up?
I have tried every option and can't seem to find a way apart from animating the text across it myself in keyframing...
I want to also crop it so that it appears only in a certain spot i.e like it is coming out of a tunnel into another tunnel, however only way I can think this is possible is putting overlay boxes of the background colour over the text, as the normal crop function just acts as a stop, so the text goes to a second line, then a third, etc, etc.
/text here, text here, text here, text here\ <- a crop with it scrolling across but not creating a new line. Otherwise you end up with this
/text here, text here, text here\
text here, text here, text here
Hope you can understand that.
Thanks
