Hi guys,
Today I started to learn to use Movie Studio 14. I started with a concept from my head of a little video intro. I added a title to that video, which is moving in an animation, from the bottom to the top. The next step, which I wanted to achieve, is to add a border/frame around that text, which moves together with my title. This is where I'm struggling. I didn't find a way to add a regular border. Is this even possible? I would appreciate if someone could give me some tips. Thanks.
Oh, wow. Thanks. I checked every twice and trice, but never noticed it.
Ok, I was able to create the border, but one little detail misses. In my case the border was static. Is it possible to chain it to the animation of my text? I would like to get that border moving together with the text. Currently, the text is moving within the border.
The border is around the total textscreen, so you have a few options.
Crop the totaal textscreen and move it to the right place.
Or, what I prefer use trackmotion of the text track.
At both you have to resize the text size sometimes.
So play around with these different possibilities .
There are other possibilities without the effect "Border", but most of them are more difficult.
Cookie Cutter does the same.
I've had a play around with this and two comments.
You can easily create a transparent box with a border to sit on the track below your text to give the required border. Use a Solid Colour from Media Generator. With Pan/Crop resize and reshape. Add Border FX to give required border but as Cornico advises it needs to have Border before Pan/Crop in the FX chain. Then lastly make the Solid Colour transparent by dragging (in Video Media Generators box) the right hand slider down to fully transparent. This doesn't affect the borders opacity.
To "chain" the border and text together put their tracks in a Parent/Child Group with the border as child and text as parent. Then apply Track Motion to the Parent Motion instead of the individual tracks.
