  How did he do this?

  Posted by Guitarjam on September 13, 2006 at 7:48 pm

  I really like the effect of the video inside the text at the begining of the clip from the link below:

  Can someone give me step by step instructions on how this was done. Or tell me how to acheive this effect. I’m a real newbie and would appreciate all the help I can get. I just go my first palmcorder few months back and totally love this stuff.

  Thank you in advance!

  Welcome to Track Mattes.

  Make you text with the Text Tool (White).
  Animate the Texts position over time by selecting the layer and P reveals position for the layer, click the stop watch to create a keyframe, move the Time Indicator down the time line and then Drag the Tex to where you want it to endup, another keyframe appears.

  Now add your video above the Text layer, then down in the text layer in the Modes column, set the TrkMat to Alpha. You should now see the video inside the text. Track mattes are cool.
