Clipping footage

Postby Mr Pilkington » Tue Jun 17, 2003 10:56 am

I'm trying to get my footage to transfer from its basic 3:4 shape to more of a circular shape (like a record) then back again. Clipping only crops off the top, bottom, or sides. And I have yet to find another video effect that does what I need (trust me I tried as many of them as I could tolerate in one sitting, and that's a hell of allot.) I have gotten a similar effect using photoshopped image and transparencies, and by Sphearizing (is that even a word) the image. But I think I should beable to get a better effect inside Premiere (6.0). I would have consulted the manual but its currently lost (as it has been since I moved last year), and I'm too lazy to rip apart my storage closet trying to find it, assuming it's still there. I could get by with the other method, but I would prefer a better means. If any knows, or if it’s even possible please let me know. And please excuse the n00b-like question,
:oops: I do feel kind of goofy even asking. :oops:

Creating a circular Image matte and importing it .psd wise into Premiere would most likely be your best bet. Along with the motion tool and a couple of keyframes you could probably create a pretty realistic/visually- appealing record effect.

Just use a circle instead of a rectangle.

Yeah that's exactly what I'm already doing. I was just hoping there was a way of doing it where I don't feel like I'm walking through shit to get a porno. But I suppose not.
