Anybody know how to do this effect?

[Graham Bernard]

1] Add new Track – say at Track 1

2] Add Sample Text Generated Media SONY Text.

3] Delete “Sample Text” and now type an Underscore Line that fills the whole screen, from left to right.

. You should now have a Line on Screen. Yes?

OK . .

4] Click on the Pan/Crop Icon when it appears, Check/Select the Mask Timeline

5] Now Add 4 Points, by using the Anchor Creation Tool, that create a boundary for the length of the Line.

6] Hold Down the Ctrl Key and Drag a COPY of the Keyframe diamond say to 8 Seconds.

7] Go back to the Initial Keyframe, and by draging each of the 4 Anchors Points separately, make the Line Disappear around the Centre of the Frame. Once you have done this you should NOT be able to see any of the Line.

8] Play the 8 second sequence and what you should get is what I’m seeing too, and that is a Line “growing” equally in each direction AWAY from the middle of the screen as the Mask grows in size.

Thanks for trying to help, but I wasn’t clear about your directions about draging the anchor points separately to the center of the frame and there on forth :/
