  • Animate head lights/tail lights on image

    So, I do lyric videos. To give my videos more “pop”, I do my best to animate the background images. Recently, I came across this image:

    I’m curious as to how I can animate the headlights to make it seem like they are in motion. Any techniques on how to accomplish this?

    Correct. I don’t have access to After Effects or any other special effects software.

    Well, you could try Motion Blur.

    Hi Christian

    Were you looking towards something like this ?

    If so, here is the .VEG file for it. (Made with MVP 14)

    There are many ways to do this. This is one of the dirt cheap and easy ways. Don’t be afraid to explore the possibilities of your MVP. This one was made in less than 5 minutes by applying a mask to 2 of the 3 same video tracks and adding the TV Looks effect.

    Cheers !
