  • Adding mask and increasing the scale.

    Posted by Robinson on December 14, 2006 at 5:36 am

    Hi,

    I need to add a slow zoom out on the picture which I am doing by scaling down the size between the two keyframes. However that affects the widescreen mask/or any other mask that I am using on the image to get the true anamorphic composition.

    What’s the way around it? any other effect I can use???

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Simplest way is to place a slug on a layer over your picture & use a garbage matte to cut a hole in it to reveal the picture beneath.

    You could nest the clip, adjust the clip in the nest, then put the windscreen matte on the nest itself.

    You could make a still image of the mask in photoshop with an alpha and position your footage under it.

    Buy Nattress Film effects and use his widescreen filter

    [JeremyG] “windscreen”

    Damn Apple spell check, why hath you forsaken me?

    That’d be wide screen, not wind screen.

    Thing is, you spelled windscreen correctly. How’s the spell checker supposed to know that you’re not riding in a car?

    darn, I thought that was the special filter for removing the blimp a sound recordist dips into the shot.

    Excellent point Arnie, but in this case, I totally blew the spelling altogether and Apple corrected it with windscreen. Henceforth, I hath been forsaken. Yarggggg! More accurately, I hath forsaken myself in a total self destructive spelling plight and doing so rightfully confused the Apple spell checker into thinking I was talking about another piece of totally unrelated production gear.

    Weird.
