How can I do this effect?
I’m using CS5. I’ve seen this effect on TV many times and I can’t figure out how to do it. They will have a full screen video going, then the bottom gets pushed up a bit, compressing the video (and distorting it a bit). Then they put a sports stat line at the bottom with game scores, etc., which moves up in to the bottom area to fill the screen.
I have one computer with a Matrox RT.X2 (and CS3) in it, and that board has a built-in Matrox effect for this, but I can’t figure out how to do it on my other computers using CS5. Any method that I try now compresses at the bottom AND the top equally. I suppose I could add motion and move the clip up as it is compressing, but was wondering if there is a way to do this like the Matrox has.
(Note–this is NOT cropping. none of the video is being removed in the process.)

Hey Jerel,
Opened your post and I think I can help…(try all this then you can COPY / PASTE ATTRIBUTES onto OTHER clips!)
1) Click on your footage and make sure you can see your Effect Controls panel. Now make sure that you move your Anchor Point to the TOP of your video frame. the Y value will be 0
but 2) … so now’ll you’ll have to compensate for moving the Anchor Point and move the Position all the way to the top of the frame again.
Easy to do though since… indeed the Y value will be Zero again!
and finally 3) UNCHECK the “Uniform Scaling” box under the Scaling parameters.
The point of moving the anchor point earlier was to make the image squish from the bottom “TO” the top … instead of what it would have done by default which would be “uniformly squishing”
Hope that helps

Thanks, that does work. In the meantime, it occurred to me that a corner pin might work, and it does. The corner pin has less settings to change, but your method seems to produce a smoother ‘compression.’

Sweet. That’s a cool idea – I’m still really new to Premiere but toyed with that corner pin effect here and there in AE just a little. yeah, that does sound easier.
