Sure, but it will take some tweaking.

First create an independent project in which you use an angled wipe transition to go from the original clip to what you want to show on the back. The angle should precisely match the angle of the page peel. Render this to a new clip. Now use this new clip in the main project. If you get the timing just right then the 'front' image will transition to the 'backside' in sync with the page peel effect.

Thank you, I'll try that!

P.S.
I did try it but it didn't work precisely enough. The wipe transition has a straight edge whereas the page peel effect has a curly aspect so complete synchronisation isn't possible.

I'm now thinking of a masking solution but it isn't clear yet how to realise that.

Here's a link to one of Kelly's (Chienworks) old VEG files that I think is what you are asking for (link good for seven days):

Thanks for the link John, but that's not what I'm looking for. Here only the direction of the peel is reversed (although I couldn't analyze how it's done). What I'm looking for is a method to have an image on the back of the page being turned that is different from the one on the front. This would therefore involve 3 images, i.e. page front, page back and background.

You would have to ad the peel on the right side of your pic and copy the key

Render the clip out and don't delete the pic yet

Then place the new pic on time line add peel then past key so that you have 2 clips with exactly the same peel but with different visuals… the timing of the peel must be equal

Then add your rendered clip on top and key out and animate mask to top clip

delet 1st pic and add your background clip

If the transition is quick

add green panel from media gen add your transition at back
Render this out


Add green to top level with pic underneath make child and multiply mask so this is level 1 and 2 then key out green
add back pic to level 3

ad a bump map highlight to green panel for effect


This should be quick and easy

How you gonna make the picture on the back of the page curl?

I tried something like this ages ago. The FX is what it is, it doesn't even support alpha so the back of the page is always solid, trying to key front or back of page will not work from memory.

All of which is a crying shame, it could be a really usefull FX for text.

hi Bob

The first version will be correct because you have applied the transition to both then mask out the dif

The second version is a quick short cut but not true as the first version

I don’t see a problem with text it will work the schlep is you have to do it twice

Hi Rory,

I'll see if I can manage this without a detailed tutorial...

Lou ;-(

P.S.
If someone succeeds in doing this, please let me know how.

Very simple. I used exactly what i described in my first post.

Works perfectly. No masking or compositing necessary.

Now that’s good visualization

Thanks Kelly

I really appreciated the good clean results and your thought process to achieve that
Vegas is great but it’s people who make it so

Thanks for sharing

Hi Kelly,

Your example files finally made my old mind understand how it is done. Thank you!
