Moving Blocks

moving blocks

This tutorial works both in Ulead VideoStudio 10 and 11.

In this tutorial, we take 4 picture in picture style clips and make them enter and exit the screen from different directions - similar to moving paths. While the effect is not stunning, this is a good learning exercise demonstrating moving paths like capability of VideoStudio.

 

VideoStudio does not have the capability of moving paths (which MediaStudio has) but VideoStudio does have Motion/Style or Direction/Style pre-sets which can make video clips move around the screen.

    Hi Neel,

    I really like your tutorials, and am grateful that you have shared them on Ulead’s Web Forums.

    This specific effect “moving blocks”, is one that I’ve been trying to achieve for a long, long time. I can not for some reason make it happen. If you go to where you posted with this tutorial, I provided a couple of screenshots and an explanation. Basically I don’t know why it will not work on my end. I’ve followed your tutorial to the letter.

    Thanks

    It is necessary to apply chromes on clips?

    The tutorial misses out on one step.

    The last step is apply Chroma Keying on each of the 4 overlay tracks.

    1. Select overlay track 1. From Attribute, select mask and chroma key.
    2. Check Apply Overlay Options
    3. Select the black color.
    5. Make Color Similarity = 0

    Repeat the above steps on Tracks 2,3 & 4.

    That should complete the effect. Now you will not see the clips being cut off. Thanks for pointing this out.
