    Attached are the Pink Bricks I am trying to make appear as though they are in the process of getting laid.

    Any help would be much appreciated : )

    I feel like there is an eaiser way than the following, but I can’t think of it right now:

    • Create a new solid and add a Gradient Ramp, with the gradient going left to right
    • Add a second gradient and with this gradient running vertically, blend it with the original
    • Add a Mosaic effect, to create blocks.
    • Use a gradient wipe effect on your video layer

    If you’re not quite happy with this, it might be simplest to use masks and keyframe their opacity. But that’s more time consuming.

    Awesome thanks!


    I am going to learn more about gradient ramps and the Mosaic Effect!

    This is real chill!

    With this technique is there any reason why I would need to mess with Card Dance at all?

    Warm regards,

    Cali
