Magnifying glass effect just on one layer
Hi guys, just watched the tutorial on making a magnifying glass but it doesn’t quite fit the bill. I have lines of text (credits) scrolling on and I need it to grow/magnify when it rolls across the centre.
I don’t want the background to magnify so I don’t think I can use an adjustment layer like the tut (unless there’s a way to bypass layers with one) and the ‘magnify’ effect doesn’t just increase scale it doubles the text and magnifies it above the original.
This sounds so simple but I can’t figure it out!
Thanks in advance for any help

distort->bulge effect is what you want i think

I know I need to use that, it’s how to implement it. I’ll have an experiment but because the text layer will be moving and I need the bulge area to stay static I don’t think I can apply the ffect to text layer, and I need the background to stay un-magnified so I don’t think I can use an Adjustment layer to hold it?
thanks for the reply anyway dude -
bulge as precomped text.
layer the precomp below video.
that will keep it over top of video but not affect video. -
Told you it was simple! Just didn’t think to pre-comp the text, thanks for your help
