Masking Tutorial

Postby lombardo65 » Sat Oct 01, 2011 1:15 pm

Hello All,

First post on this site but have been reading other posts on here for sometime. Anyway, my question is this, within Proshows demo reel for masking there is a section that use moving bars to reveal multiple pictures at once. Does anybody know how this is achieved? I have searched the web and have not found a satisfactory answer.

Thanks in advance

Paul

It would help if you can point exactly to the place in the exact show to what you're trying to describe and share the link. Otherwise people who may try to help are just guessing. There might be a simple place to find the answer if members can see the real example you're referring to. :roll:

Without seeing their exact layer setup, I can't tell you with precision how they did it, but basically, they have several photos (at one point, I think I counted 5), each masked with a "bar," which would likely be an alpha mask--a solid bar on a field of transparency. The bars are panned back and forth from side to side. I didn't take note if the photos changed beneath those bars, but if not, they could.

I had a template for this that Abba posted on the forum years ago. I have since converted it to a Style. Looked for the post link on the forum tonight to send to Lombardo but couldn't find it. Contact me Lombardo and I'll put it in a ZIP file for you.

Ooops!
The forum member's name is Adda (Andreas) NOT Abba. Here's the forum topic link http://www.proshowenthusiasts.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3229&st=0&sk=t&sd=a where you can download a Zip file he made.
Thanks Andreas! We miss you.
