  • help with a falling leaf effect?????

    Posted by Digitalgeorge on February 2, 2007 at 5:37 am

    I hope someone can help me with an effect I am trying to achieve. I have Boris Red and am trying to do a fallling leaf effect. It’s for a family tree video. Many of the elders have passed. I want to place still pictures of the family members inside a leaf and have it falling from a tree on a hill. I was not quite sure what the best approach might be. But I’m sure some of the great artists on this forum will have some ideas.

    Thanks for your help.

    PS I also have After Effects, but that’s another forum,

    Get a leaf shaped graphic, preferably with an alpha. Drop that into the mask track of your image. Put the image into a container and use its controls to move the leaf shaped composite around the screen. Repeat as necessary.
