    It might sound silly but I wanna know whether the transition used in The Bourne Legacy movie trailer is manually done or done with the help of a plugin . If a plugin does exist, does it exist for FCP?

    I assume he means the letterbox type effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSzy9qQ3mDE

    I’d probably use motion and animate some layer masks with behaviours and keyframes, but i don’t know if thats the best way

    So the only way is to achieve that transition or video effect is to manually do the stuffs you said isn’t it Sean Miller ? And there are no plugins right?

    No not that I know of, it shouldn’t be too hard to replicate in Motion

    Hi Moses.

    I saw the trailer when it first came out and immediately tried to figure out how to do it. At that time I had just learnt how to reveal a video through a word. As you can see in the N****S in Paris video

    I learnt how to reveal video through text with this Creative Cow thread

    https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1089436

    I had to mess around a little bit to find a way that gave the same effect of bars sliding across the screen to reveal the video. I did indeed use a plug in, a vector shape plug in. But what I created was no where near as slick as that trailer. The way I found was very heavy on memory as I had to have a video layer for every bar that I wanted to reveal video through. I’m certain there’s a better way out there.

    I’m just about to leave on holiday for 8 days but when I get back if you’d like me upload the little clip I created so you can see it for yourself let me know. I’ll also post some screen grabs of what my timeline and viewer window looks like.

    Hope I helped.
