Wingdings - Ready Made Shapes

Postby Chris B » Wed Apr 23, 2008 5:31 pm

I have been playing around with using track matte for transitions. In doing so I've noticed that the Wingdings font (and relatives) provide a multitude of shapes that can be used for transitions. Here are a couple that I've put together in PE.

Hope it inspires someone...

I never even thought of using wingding and webding fonts as video shapes!

Very cool, Chris!

I like it! A great application of a novel idea. And just when I thought that everything that could be done had already been discovered! =D>
