  • Creating thought bubbles with images inside

    Posted by Luis Ortega on June 3, 2005 at 7:29 pm

    I have a shot of a girl’s head and I want to make it look like she’s thinking about something by making a cloudlike bubble appear small near her head then move up and away getting larger until it completely fills the screen. Inside the thought bubble should be another shot running of what her memory is. It is a long clip that then continues full frame after this effect is over.
    Can anyone suggest a simple way to do this in Premiere Pro, if it’s possible, or direct me to a tutorial of such an effect?
    Thanks a lot.

    It’s just a thought, but how about placing the playhead (or whatever you call it in a video editor) on a blank section of the time line, then create a new tiltle (F9 I think) choose an elipse shape and make it almost full frame in size, then save as the bubble.

    Next, put the bubble in the time line and move it (keyframe) to track the girls head, blur the edges or whatever, then cut, and paste it to a new sequence. Now, nest the new sequence back to the original sequence, we are now using it as a mask, and you should be able to take it from there. You can gradually make the bubble larger because we made it large to begin with so it should look ok. Or you could use a wavy video effect, and use crop (this would be real easy) but the bubble would be square..just some ideas, I hope they help.
