Motion frame

[jroc]

For a single slide in a slideshow in EMC7x I was able to select a frame of various sorts, a heart, an oval, whatever, and have it close in to a smaller portion of the shot during the x seconds that the photo showed in the slideshow. My memory sucks, but I think the capability was in Video Effects, or possibly Overlays. I don't seem to be able to find that capability in EMC9. Am I just missing something?

Well you memory is pretty good. In VideoWave, you can put an overlay onto an image to enclose it. Put it on the photo when you are in the internal track. It will display only for as long as the image is displayed.

 

But what I really think you are talking about is a transition. Again add the transition between the image and the next image.

 

The other possibility is to add an effect to an image that is on a overlay track. That is limited but you can do some things.

 

This is the selection for the overlay. . There are no heart or ovals but there are some other overlays.

Nope, not a transition. In EMC7x there was a way I could, as an example, put a soft oval frame around the edges of a picture of a mother holding a child, then during the xseconds the slide held in the show the "frame" would slowly close in until it covered everything but the faces of mom and child. It made a nice effect that got ooohs and ahhhs from the viewing audience.

It really sound like you had an image on the main track (or color panel. You added another image to that color panel as an overlay. You can put a circle or retangular mask on that overlay and then you can add motion like zoom and fade out. There are lots of options. I don't think that anyone of them will give you the result you want. I been know to be wrong before (once ).

 

I guess I don't remember that in V 7. I must be getting old.

Chuckle, that's definitely MY problem. I don't think I quite get what you're talking about with mask as overlay, then zoom or fade, but I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with.
