Is there an effect for opening a book and starting your video on the first page of a book? You know...like a once upon a time fairy tale beginning....

Thanks !

Hi Glenn,

One way (though there may be better ways), would be to create a “book” image/template, and then use either the “Page Curl” or “Page Fold” or “Page Roll” effects found in the Transition Room.

Click on the link below to see a quickly constructed, low resolution example of this technique, if want to take a look at it. (It’s a portion of a little comedy bit I did for a friend)

It’s a bit unrefined, but one could create a better book images and reposition things, and tweak the effect a little more for better or different results.
This probably isn’t exactly what you had in mind, but it is one option and starting off point.

Well done, Cranston.

I enjoyed that.

You almost have a Benny Hill type there.
