Nother "neat" thing to try . . I think soft borders are a bit, well passé . . . is to repeat the same clip and stick it on track1. Really lighten it and slow it down, VeloEnv or stetch the clip. Put the main realtime clip on track2 and zoom it down so it sits in about ¼ to ½ of the total frame, maybe lift it upwards a bit . . . now when you run it, it looks, to my mind, quite contemporary . . your call . .you can still do a soft edge on the track2, but having the background as something else looks very romantic - yeah?

Only a thought . .

Grazie

What Grazie is suggesting sounds like a variation on a great method Shredder presented in this forum 17 moons ago.
Open this thread and scroll down to Shredder's post. You'll love it (and so will your clients).
Shredder's photo montage technique and BillyBoy's first colour correction tutorial are probably the two items that has made most of a difference to most readers of this forum. To me anyway.

. . and there I was thinking I was being original . .. ;-)

Grazie

You were original, Grazie. You just weren't the first one :-)

Even the Picasso quote you love so much is a variation on something Socrates said which was written down by Plato and (mis)quoted by me: Beauty is in the useful.
We have ideas all of us and that is because we are creative, thinking people. But only very rarely do we think of something no one has thought of before. So what? Good ideas will always resurface. And I'm always happy to help them.

More is mess. Tor.
