A colleague of ours on the Casablanca Forum asked the following:
"I have a client who wants his logo over his shoulder on a background I
shot with green screen. He wants the logo to at least fade in or even
better fly or wave in, he mentioned popping in like the old Pop Up Video
on VH-1. I've used Pattern 2 to import the logo with no background (a
.PNG with alpha channel) but I can only do a hard cut when bringing in
the logo. Any ideas on how I can fade in or effect in the logo that
won't effect the subject speaking in the foreground?"
He is correct - you can use the Pattern 2 function (found in the Bogart V4 and higher) to import and position logos over your scenes. The limitation with Pattern 2 is that you can only cut to these logos/graphics. But you can do more if you use the graphic in conjunction with your existing Titling Effects.
Import that .PNG logo into Custom Images and then using the Graphic Box
in the titler, you can use any of the Titling Effects to move and
position that graphic anywhere on-screen you desire.
I am going to create a
tutorial video on this operation for my next Casablanca community
newsletter (going out week of May 20th) to show how this is done and
what the result looks like.
