I am using PD13 on my Windows 10 on my Asus laptop. I am almost done with my 3-hour epic documentary, and the perfect finish would be an iris fadeout on one guy's face. You know, like in the old silent movies whare the screen goes black as a circle gets smaller and smaller on one character's face. I can't seem to find that kind of a transition in the transition room. Is there a place to find such a thing or a way to make it?

Do you have any of the Adorage effects in your version of PowerDirector.

If so, there is an effect in Volume 2 Alpha-FX that will do what you are looking for.

Alternatively, you can use a mask to accomplish this task. Choose a circular mask and then keyframe the scale from large to small.

Here is a tutorial on how to do that.

Nice solution & tutorial Jim

Dungthanh072 - There are always different ways to go about things. Jim's suggested using a keyframed circular mask.

You could also achieve a similar effect by using a transition like this one or overlay a PiP Object like this.



So - you have at least 3 options.

Cheers - Tony

Tony,

Thanks for reminding me about options in the DirectorZone. I don't access it often enough.

Nice to be part of a community where users can get multiple solutions to their queries. wink
