Sports broadcast graphics

[Dee Gibbs]

I’m doing a project that deals with basketball but I am working on a limited budget(of course) The client wants me to apply “broadcast effects” ie, the transitions from one shot to the next, and the PIP effect that shows a commentator in one viewer and game plays in the other. Does anybody know some tricks/how-to’s or resources that are available?

You can do this easily in FCP with two video tracks & resizing one of them

I like to use DH_Box from digitalheaven.co.uk – only $10 and saves a lot of time.
