  • Inverted Background on Text

    Posted by Ethan Nunn on July 14, 2015 at 4:20 am

    Hello.

    I am trying to make a fan made bumper for a defunct TV channel. Now, I’m trying to get some text, which is on an inverted background, but it is inside the text.

    If you don’t know what I mean, here:

    As you can see, the text on the video, inverts the video, only inside the text. I have no idea on how to explain it better.

    Can anyone help me achieve this effect?

    Using Vegas Pro 13

    [Ethan Nunn] “Can anyone help me achieve this effect?”

    Here is what you need to do:

    1. Add a track above the event you want the title over and duplicate the event onto that track. You should now have two events on two tracks, one above the other.
    2. Add the Sony Invert FX to the top event (the one you just created).
    3. Now add another track above both of them and add your title event.
    4. Finally, change the compositing mode of the title track to Mask (Multiply) and
    5. Change the Child Composite Mode of the track below the title to Make Compositing Child.

    You should now have a title with the video inverted inside of it and your tracks should look something like this:
