Quote Hi

I try to make an effect that crosses the frame in two(or more) and see two color gradient. As you can see in the February Webinar, right at the beginning - in the second 14 and up:

thanks!

My approach: Arrange tracks 1 and 2 so that your FX track is on track 2. I do this by adding a video track before track 1 but there must be a better way. Next I'd put the same clip on tracks 1 and 2. In the Enhance world of the clip on track 1 take out all the saturation. For track 2 add whatever color effect you like. Now add the New Blue effect (name escapes me right now) which cuts out a picture by shape. Adjust it to a box, set left corners to true positions on the left. Now use the key framing to move the right corners from true left to center. Wait a second or so then move the right corners to true right. That should do it.

Sorry, message deleted. I was half asleep and thought I was in the "previous versions" forum Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Lots of good possibilities!

One very useful change made in PDR15 is that masks can be keyframed. In previous versions the mask was stuck to the video clip.

So, any mask can be keyframed to move where you want. Perfect for that "reveal" effect.



The packed project for that video example can be downloaded from here. When you open it, select the clip in Track 2 & go to Mask Designer to see how the masks have been keyframed.

Thank you very much for the answers!

I did not know the mask designer at all, it's really amazing!

Thank you very much, you helped me a lot.
