I am trying to make a video mask for a wedding introduction. I have a 3D animation in the shape of a heart (about 20 seconds long). The heart opens up and shows a black background as it zooms in towards the viewer until the entire screen is black. I want to replace the black with the wedding video.
What I have done is set the mask track to a black and white video of the heart as it opens up. I then made my main movie a child of this track. I then added the video of the heart opening up as the background track (Refer to page 222 of Vegas 5 manual). This worked great for only the duration of the 3D animation. The main wedding video goes black before and after the animation. How do I get my main track (wedding video) to show up before and after the video mask I created? Is there a better way to do this?
I hope my explanation makes sense; it is kind of difficult to explain what I am trying to do.
