Do you have a video clip and a Color Shape on another layer and you want to make the Color Shape transparent?

Don’t forget, if you want to keep the Alpha Channel (Transparency) set the Animation to Millions Colors +.

I would recommend that you run a test with both keyers and see which one you like best. Personally, I think the FCP Chroma Keyer works really well for a lot of jobs. But it depends on the key. Best of luck and hope this helps.

The photo was most likely cut up into separate layers using Photoshop. So each member of the family is on a separate layer. You then bring the Photoshop file into Motion. If you drag it into the Motion and hold down the mouse you will get an option to import each photoshop layer. Once you do that you need to separate the layers Z distance. Add a camera. I would then use the new Framing behavior to move the camera around. Under the Behavior tab it will let you drag the photo shop layer into the Target well and Motion will automatically animate the camera from your starting point to the layer. You can ad as many Framing behaviors as you want. Hope this helps and best of luck.

I would post your question in the Art of The Edit forum because editors usually are the ones buying stock footage. Mammoth HD has 4K footage, and so does https://www.hdtimelapse.net/ . Hope this helps.

Type your text. Make sure it is selected in the Project Pane or Timeline. Go to the Properties tab. Right click on the word Opacity. A drop down menu will appear. Choose Randomize or Oscillate as Adam suggests. If you want your text to fade to zero opacity to full make the Opacity zero. Then go to the Behaviors tab. Make the Amount 100%. That will take the opacity to 0 to 100 because your opacity is currently zero. To make the fade on and off occur less frequently change the frequency to 1 or so. I’ve attached a project file for you to look at.

If you want to do it with keyframes watch the Creating a Hologram Tutorial, it is all in there. Hope this helps and best of luck.

[Rob] Yup I have changed it to 1. It’s not quite as sharp as using an image from Photoshop still, but it has actually grown on me. I like it a bit soft. It goes with the wispy feel of it.
If you want it super sharp, set the Spacing to 1% and then click on the Brush Profile discloser triangle. You have a gradient from white to black. Move the White box over the the right so it is close to the black box and you are in super sharp business.

Another thing I didn’t like about this method (that I forgot to mention) is that it was hard to get the line to come to a nice point. The dabs would break apart at the end if you tried to make the width of the stroke too thin. But i figured out a nice solution to that…if you’re interested.I recommend you work with a broadcast monitor. In the Width Over Stroke section (In the “Stroke” Section) where you can adjust the width of the stroke to varying degrees you mentioned that it starts to break up. On my computer monitor the line stays in tacked until I dip below 3% for the Width Over the Stroke. However, it is really not broken up if you are looking at the stroke on a broadcast monitor. It is a nice super thin line. Beside, I would never recommend going below 3% anyways, that will cause interlacing problems that you don’t want anyways. Best of luck and I’m happy you have created a project you like.

Oh good, that is great to hear. Sorry it was tedious.

To give the Airbrush a hard edge change the Spacing to 1%.
