  • How do I use a hi con clip to create a transition

    Posted by Sean O’connell on May 14, 2007 at 3:29 pm

    I’m sure the answer is right under my nose but I’ll ask anyway. I’d like to use some hi-con clips (erasing a chalkboard or a glass shatter for example) to get from clip A to B . I’ve tried stacking the tracks different ways each time going through all the composite modes and I don’t get a the desired effect. The video is from digibeta and comes in 10bit sdi to my MacBook Pro via Aja LD. What an I not thinking of? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Incoming (first) video on track 1

    High contrast video on track 2

    Outgoing video on track track 3

    Add edit on track 3 at the point when the high contrast clip ends.

    On track three, on the video that is above the hi con clip – right click and go Composite Mode, Travel Matte – Luma.

    How does it look.

    Still Troubles?

    Add a Color Corrector 3-Way to track 2 and make sure you peg the contrast (push the whires up and the blacks down.)

    Experiment.
