I wasn’t clear… I’ve been doing some basic stuff for a few years. I do need to do more training but I have bad luck surfing youtube for tutorials. I’ll check out some of these official ones for sure though.
But they’re not templates… Its extensions that I’m new to. I go up to the menu and its in the window drop-down under “Expressions”. I don’t know if I delete all those other project folders that I don’t need, and keep the ones I do, will the “extension” itself still work or will the whole thing be corrupted and just not open or launch or whatever the term is for extensions.

When I tried this the only options I had for use of a track matt were the PNG files I had layered above it… what am I missing here?

Thanks!

My lap top is an ASUS that I got about a year ago…. Q534U is the model number on the bottom.
I’ll have to check out your videos later I don’t know what the timebase thing is… never heard of that… is it matching up the frames per second from VHS to the digital formats I assume?
So here’s a fuller context for what I’m hoping for:
I’m planning this webshow where an old creepy ventriloquist dummy does movie reviews of old obscure VHS movies. The type of stuff that just never makes it to DVD. And when I can find stuff without any current rights holder maybe even do “hosted” movies where I show the whole thing with the review character popping in and out like Zacherle or Elvira or Joe Bob Briggs back in the day…
So I need to play the movies, “record” them into a digital file as they play so that I can edit out clips and make compositions with my footage.
As an afterthought, since I’m trying to do this video services self business thing and I just got into collecting VHS, I figured I could offer up Home Movie transfer/restoration/editing as a service as well.
So I need a deeeeecent quality but I’m also crazy broke and need to be mindful of my budgets.

I had no problem finding the hardware… I was looking at this one myself:
But in the description it sounds like its just to get a VHS onto a new digital screen. And both your links were about DVD burning. I do not want to burn VHS directly to a DVD. I want to play the VHS tape off a VCR, run it through an adapter into my laptop, and capture it as a video file. From there I can edit out clips, make color corrections, add captions or add the footage into a composition… but what I want is VHS to Computer.

Yeah if I had 3DS Max or something I could just fart out a funnel and run a camera through it. I’m working with what I have…
The cylinder idea earlier may work. I didn’t realize all the options at first that I could go inside the cylinder.

I thought maybe a picture reference would help…
So imagine this tunnel went back and down not to the right… I need that but animated, not necessarily that you’re flying through / down it, but that it is “flowing” towards you .
-
Tried that didn’t quite give me what I wanted. I did the CC Bend It to the animation and it wasn’t REALLY what I wanted but it will work in a pinch I guess.

A toggle… well now I just feel like a dingus.
