Animations outside of the image area
Animated effects are useful for making objects or titles appear to "fly" across the
image. In this case it is recommended that the start and end point of the animation
are placed outside of the image.
This will require a video object and a second object to be animated, for example a title
or a small object to float across the video image.
Here's how it works:
• Click on the program monitor and zoom out of the video image (Ctrl + mouse
wheel). This displays the workspace at the edges of the reduced preview image.
• Select the effect "Size/Position" (view page 134).
• Mov
e the object to be animated to the position on the workspace where the
animation should start; for example, to the left of the preview image:
• Position the playback marker at the location where the animation should start.
• Create a keyframe for the animation start.
• Position the playback marker at the position where the object to be animated
should disappear from the image.
• Move the object to be animated to the position on the workspace where the
animation should end; for example, to the right of the preview image.
