Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Merging a photo with video

  • Merging a photo with video

    Posted by Shulamis Durden on September 16, 2008 at 5:26 pm

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 trial. For an assignment I would like to add my photo into a video clip that has a pool of water. I would like to make it look like someone is looking at his or her reflection. What specific effects should I use and how should the video segments be placed? Does the photo go in the video2 section if the clip is in the video1 section? How big should the photo image be?
    Thanks

    You could extract the background from the photo first but that would require Photoshop.
    Yes the photo goes in V2; select it in the timeline, click on the word Motion in the Effects Controls palette and then re size the image in the Program window as needed. If the photo is very large you may need to change the zoom of the Program window to see the bounding box of the photo.

    Thank you! I extracted the photo and lowered the opacity. Is there any thing I could do in Adobe Premiere, that would make them blend togehter even more.
