    I am working on a “slide show” of pictures with music. This is a memorial video to be shown at a funeral. The opening consists of the person’s name, date of birth dash date of death. I want to be able to zoom in on the dash until it fills the screen, and at the same time I want the pictures of the slide show to start. The dash represents the person’s life. Any ideas?

    You could make the dash out of generated media (solid color)and use a keyframed pan/crop to set the starting dimensions and the apparent zoom in.

    Were it me, I’d simply create the title at double resolution, with the dash either as part of the title, or as a separate component for which you would leave space in the title containing the other information. I just finished doing something along the same lines; I used a hypen in the titler, sized quite large, as a mask for moving media (clouds) beneath, which then zoomed out to place the moving media into clouds so the transition from the mask to the original shot was seamless.

    Thanks for the replies. I’ll give these a try.
