I put black bars above a video and I'm wondering how I could crop only the score (pointed at with red arrow) to be visible through the black bar, Currently, it is being covered by the black bar.
Place another instance of your video on the track above, use pan/crop with a mask to size it, and use Track Motion to move it around. It only seems tricky the first time you try it.
@Musicvid - I thought that could’ve been the option, I just needed confirmation on the required outcome.
@jason-h - Tracks as Layers: Understanding how VP works, using Tracks as Layers, akin to the way a Graphics package uses Still images, will, ultimately provide you with many many ways forward. Have fun 😎.
Using the method suggested above by @Musicvid, this is the result:
Making sure to first tick the Mask checkbox to activate masking, use the Mask feature in Pan/Crop to mask the scoreboard, but instead of Track Motion I used the Position feature in Pan/Crop to zoom in a little on the image thus increasing the size of the scoreboard, and then used Position to lower the image so that the scoreboard is centred vertically within the lower black bar.
Aesthetically I don't like all that Black Bar stuff - the top one looks unbalanced with the lower bar. I'd be looking to add some blurred FX Graphic - Lots to do to make it Smart!
