Greetings!
I am trying to create a wormhole effect utilizing two pieces of footage. One is the main action sequence and another is a "Wormhole" (another video that has like a tunnel effect). I want to use that footage in a section of tree's that form a portal.
Currently I am attempting to use the Track Matte Key, but I have seen videos utilizing the Legacy Title...which works...and another video that uses color matte's with the Track Matte Key on the original footage.
Now here is the issue. If it was just a still piece of footage (like a logo on top of another piece) I get how that can work...but the main source is moving so I attempted to use the pen tool to create a mask for every frame to move along side the "portal".
Now currently I have a Track Matte Key on the original footage (V1), A Color Matte on V2 which I specify in the Track on V1 and then the wormhole footage on V3. I tried to just specify the wormhole footage on V3 with V2's Color Matte, but that didn't seem to work. I had to redraw the mask every frame to fit the scene.
Now I do have a wormhole effect in the space I created, but it is dulled out and dark (the color is bright shining red...but this looks like a Transparent barely seen effect. Opacity is at 100% on the mask and such. What am I doing wrong? (to give you an example, If you have ever seen the show "StargateSG-1" I am trying to do something similar to the stargate. Where the shimmering gate is displayed while the rest of the scene's are being produced. Most video's I have come across are just based on one scene over another on a static circle or text. Any help would be appreciated
As I mentioned before, I could try to do a legacy title, but I have to create a new title for every frame and each title will have to be adjusted to move with the action. On the flip side, the video's do come in clear with that method...but as you can tell, it would be very tedious to do it that way.
