Create Movable Black Box?

Postby Tony Wade » Thu May 23, 2013 5:12 am

Hi All,
I've searched for this and can't find it...
FOR PE3

I need to create a moveable black box on the screen, to block out an entire person on a video.

It doesn't have to move with the person, as I could add another layer to do that, but how could I simply create this black box on the screen, then move it as the action unfolds?

Thanks in advance,
Tony

You should be able to draw the box in the Titles worskpace, Tony. Or, if not, you can certainly draw it in Photoshop Elements and save it as a PSD file and import it into your project, placing it on a video track above your video.

Animating its position is as simple as creating keyframes for Motion Effects.

Create a new black video and size it with the motion property.
You could then keyframe its motion path.
