9. Drag writers 2.avi to the Video 1 track of the nested practice sequence.
10. Drag the nested practice sequence to the Video 2 track and make the clip in Video 1 the same length as the nested practice sequence in Video 2.
11. With the nested practice sequence clip selected, add a Scale keyframe in the Motion effect at about 3 seconds from the beginning of clip. Set its value to 80. Set another Scale keyframe at the beginning of the clip and set its value to 0.
12. Set a keyframe for the Rotation parameter in the Motion effect at the beginning of the clip. Set its value to -4x0.0. Set another Rotation keyframe at the same point in the Effect Controls Timeline as the second Scale keyframe. Set the value of this Rotation keyframe to 0.0.

Making a traveling matte

1. Open 16-5.prproj.
2. Drag the face matte to Video 3. Stretch the face matte clip to the same length as the other clip.
3. Select the face matte clip and then expand the Motion effect in the Effect Controls panel.

5. Scrub the Timeline to about the halfway point of the clip and adjust the matte to be over the woman's face. Move halfway across the remainder of the clip and do the same thing again. Continue setting keyframes until you can scrub the clip and have the matte over the face at all times. (figure)
6. Select the Video 2 clip, select Video Effects > Stylize, and apply the Mosaic effect to it. Set the horizontal and vertical blocks' values to 30. This makes the clip in Video 2 a mosaic.
7. Locate the Track Matte Key effect in Video Effects > Keying and apply it to the clip in Video 2. This is the same clip to which you applied the Mosaic effect.
8. Set Matte to Video 3 and Composite Using to Matte Alpha.
9. Play the sequence.

Creating a split-screen effect

The one little gotcha is that the garbage matte effects reveal part of a clip -- they don't shrink the clip to fit it in the borders of the garbage matte, as happens when you use Motion to make PIPs.

gotcha: an unexpected usually disconcerting challenge, revelation, or catch; also : an attempt to embarrass, expose, or disgrace someone (as a politician) with a gotcha


Gotcha is a relaxed pronunciation of "I got you" or "I've got you" usually referring to an unexpected capture or discovery.

Using matte keys

matte : a motion-picture effect in which part of a scene is blocked out and later replaced by footage containing other material (as a background painting)
1. Load 16-4.prproj.
2. Drag the theater.psd clip to Video 2 and stretch it to be the same length as the video clip.
3. Drag the Four-Point Garbage Matte Key effect from the Keying folder to the theater.psd clip.
4. Use your mouse to drag the 4 control points in the Program Monitor to the 4 corners of the sign. Changing View Zoom Level to 25% would make it easy to locate the 4 control points..
5. Set the zoom of the Program Monitor back to Fit.
6. Expand the Motion field, and adjust the Position and Rotation fields so that the sign appears in the lower-right corner. (figure)

Using video effects that work with graphic-file alpha channels

1. Choose Video Effects > Stylize > Alpha Glow to apply an Alpha Glow effect to the graphic in Video 2, open its Settings dialog box, and experiment with its settings.
The Start Color and End Color parameters set the colors of the glow.
2. Delete Alpha Glow from the Effect Controls panel, choose Video Effects > Perspective > Bevel Alpha, and drag the Bevel Alpha effect into its place.
3. Choose Video Effects > Perspective and add a Drop Shadow effect below the Bevel Alpha effect in the Effect Controls panel. Set Shadow Opacity to 70%, Distance to 10, and Softness to 40. (figure)
Some video formats may also contain alpha channels. DV cannot, but the QuickTime .mov and uncompressed .avi formats are examples of formats that can contain alpha channels. ???
4. Drag the scratches.mov clip over the logo clip in Video 2 to overlay it.
5. Drag the brown clip to Video 3 and set its Opacity parameter to 20%. Press Enter to render and play the sequence.

Working with alpha-channel transparencies

1. Drag logo.psd to Video 2, overlaying the blend title.
The blend title can't be overlayed. We might as well delete it.
2. Adjust the position parameters to 600 and 340, as shown here. (figure)
3. Choose Video Effects > Keying > Alpha Adjust to apply Alpha Adjust to Logo.psd.
As with the Transform effect's connection to Motion, you can use Alpha Adjust to apply Opacity at some other point in the effect chain, instead of second-to-last, where it would occru if you were to use the Opacity fixed effect. ???
4. Select Ignore Alpha to see the alpha channel as opaque rather than transparent.
5. Delete Alpha Adjust in the Effect Controls panel.
