Now place a background clip on Video track 1 The Sequence preview image (right) shows the combined effect at the cursor position. You now have your "object" on a transparent background.Here is the rough mask. for an object leave the box unticked.Ĭlick the green + and add a Transparency effect making it 100%. Roughly around the catĪs this is going to be either a "hole" in the clip or an isolated "object" from the clip select or leave the Mask inside box e.g. Mask appears in Clip Preview image as a red rectangleĭrag the mask edges and points to create the desired shape.

Load the exported clip back with now a black background and then use the green screen to render this black area transparent (assuming there was no black in the object itself).Īs the imported image/clip was now in effect independant the above mentioned effects could be made to work but then of course it's shape could not be altered as there was no longer a mask.Īny way of resolving this?.(Hope its clear.) The work around was to create the object with the transparent border (masked from the image) and then export this. But without Transparency there was no longer a flying saucer to fly! None of the effects would work with the mask. Transparency seemed to be the stumbling block. to make it move in from the right, hover and then "fly" down to the moon's surface (background Track 1 clip) by using Scale, Position and Rotate.

You can use the Position effect to set the object where you wish and if you want it to move with or over the background then use keyframes with the Position settings.
