  • Zooming Box Insert Reveal??

    Posted by Thomas Frantz on November 28, 2011 at 9:06 pm

    I’m trying to achieve an effect and need help identifying the right transition and process to scale the revealed image.

    Imagine a POV from a car pulling into a garage. The garage door goes up. As the door goes up, a logo is revealed inside the garage. So 2 things are moving. The car getting closer to the garage door, and the garage door.

    I would like to match the speed of the door ascending with the reveal and the increase in image size of the logo as the car approaches the garage door. Hope this is clear.

    Thanks a lot!

    I’d use pan and crop to do it, and just try out different speeds with keyframing to get it right. Looking up pan and crop tutorials online and try it out for a little.

    Right. Thanks. I probably should have been a little more descriptive….

    The size of the garage door is growing too. So scaling/cropping the logo addresses part of it, but because the garage door changes size as you approach it, I can’t use a full frame wipe as a transition.

    Is there a way to scale the transition so that it’s the same size as the opening garage door as it gets bigger as the camera approaches it?

    Where is the logo in the garage?
    Do you care if it appears to be floating and getting larger or is it fixed to a specific location?

    You can do multiple keyframes within the text event to make it match the camera’s movement. It will be a little tedious, but it’s doable.

    Unless I’m misunderstanding your project, I think you could have the “garage door” as a 3D Alpha track, which would allow you to move it in 3D space, and then pivot the bottom of the door “up” with the top of the door (or some other spot) as the X axis you rotate on. The default will be to rotate on the x, y, or z axis, but you can move this axis, and also move it as time goes by by keyframing. I would then put the logo on a lower layer that would be “revealed” when the garage door goes up. You could also make the lower logo track a child of the upper garage door track (parent) and turn on Parent Motion so that as you pan in on the garage door as it opens, the logo will “move” in relation to the door. I’m at work (don’t have SVP installed on this computer) or I would give you a few screen shots from Vegas to show you what I’m talking about.
    Below is a rough sketch of what I’m talking about.
