Arranging Modules
For the transitions to happen seamlessly, you have to enable fading. But before this, and for the fading to work, the modules are to be stacked one over or below the other with only 10 frames in common in the end or beginning, where the fading is going to happen.
The image below illustrates how to place the modules:
You can place one module, then the second module in your timeline over the first and close to its end. Then place the third below and close to the end of the second. Next module goes over, next, below, ever alternating over and below until the end of the video.
Ensure the modules involved in a transition with fade have 10 frames in common.
Extra FX
Vignette - Creates a spotlighted look and is great for creating visual appeal.
Tip
Check these at the very end and save yourself some render time. We want to keep you fast.
​
Animation
​
Control the animations of each template. Further customize the animation style and type by using the Build IN Movement dropdown. Select from 4 types of animations on each template. This gives you plenty of variety.
-
Float
-
Land
-
Zoom IN
-
Zoom OUT
​
Tip
Utilize the disable options for limiting animations to the background or content.
Colors
​
Pick a palette of colors to use for your project. Each template will utilize these color choices and provide consistency throughout.
​
Elements can be customized to follow your palette or use custom colors of your choice.
​
Special Color will be the gradient color option in each template.
​
Tip
We provided On-Screen-Controls (OSC) to help you control the gradients. If you can't get to them due to an overlapping text box then use the published position controls to customize.
Some users enjoy key framing the gradient to give it a passing animation.
​
Texts
Add the details of the event to each appropriate template. Position controls and color are conveniently published for quick access.
Style preferences can be customized by clicking directly on the text and adjusting in the text inspector on the right hand of your screen.
Tip
Don't hesitate to mix up the font style by utilizing outline and tracking controls to help with difficult layouts.
Background Style
​
Use color, images, or a combination of both to match the style of your project. BG Blend Mode gives you lots of looks depending on what you select. Black and White images are easy by clicking the monochromatic box.
​
Tip
Mirror effects along with keyframing BG elements can help you create some unique looks and effects.
Extra Tips
Adding drop shadow to text is possible. Adding it directly in the text inspector is where you will want to start. Some templates may require you to change your text to the 'custom' color to achieve control of drop shadow color.
