Thanks Jonathan – I’m not too good in motion, but perhaps this will be the impetus to learn it next time, haha.

I’ll check out mRoto!

Thanks Mads! That sort of did the trick. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than anything else I tried. Since I’m messing up and distorting these clips, with a little more masking, I think it might be good enough for my purposes.

Appreciate the coremelt tip – (anvil seems like the right tool tho, not slice.)

Thanks Kirk – i’ll look into that. honestly from my googling it seems like it might be easier to buy a old scope and do it manually, lol

Thanks Ben! Ended up going a different direction for this, but I’ll keep this in mind for the future. Appreciate your offering to help offline, too; I may take you up on that!

Thanks Mark – I figured out a way around it.

Just need to use the “draw mask” effect and invert the mask to completely block out the text in question. adding a shape maks to the color correction effect didn’t do the trick for whatever reason.

But adding the draw masks led me down a path of chopping up the text and moving it around, which I think will result in a much cooler video in the end anyway.

Thanks!
