Thought bubbles

Hello,
my second topic is off creating a thought bubble, to superimpose a still image into, without resorting to AE.
Is there any templates you can download or use in the cookie cutter that could be feathered out to use in this way ?

Thanks

Glenn

Use the image option in Google and search for thought bubbles - you will find thousands you can download. Or, if you have Photoshop you can create your own.

You can draw a bubble using just Vegas.
Add gen media to a track, make it the color of the bubble you want.
Draw the object using an event mask. Set Feather to In and say 2 pixels.
Duplicate track, select event mask and change Feather to Out.

You can also use the mask in pan/crop. Even if you don't make on in the mask you can animate it appearing with the mask.

I use a font called "Carr Ballons" Google download for free. Stacks of speech bubbles.

Horsefly,

Clikr is a free user-community site where such things can be found -- and most are .png. One can also get vector versions. I did a search for "thought bubbles" (see link below). One can even edit stuff through their online/cloud editor/generator but I prefer to do it on my computer.

I also used this site for other great fonts.
