Cutting out a portion of a video

Postby Byakko » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:12 am

I have a clip where words appear in the middle of the screen throughout the clip. Before the words appear, the background is still visible. Because the clip doesn't move, I was wondering if I could cut a portion of the background from before the words appear, and simply paste this part over the original video to cover up the words as they appear.

Sorry, forgot to add. I'm using Adobe After Effects 7.

Premiere Pro is more useful for this...

What I've done in these cases is this:

1) Unsync video and audio
2) In the video, split (use the razor tool) just before and after the subtitles - er... words :lol: appear -.
3) Delete the worded part.

4) Split the video again by one frame, and export the frame to a bitmap (JPEG or whatever). Then import it, and make a clip out of it. Paste it in the space that you had left.
