Advanced techniques
Advanced techniques build on the methods and procedures you learned
earlier in the lesson. With them, you can create such effects as translucent
ghosts, wild virtual background sets, and disappearing people.
Performing an erase effect
In Video Paint, you can use the painting tools to erase as well as apply
paint. Erasing paint is useful if you want to remove excess paint from an
image or to create certain effects, such as removing a solid fill color to
reveal an underlying video.
To perform an erase effect:
Select the frame from where you want the effect to begin and then
1.
click Edit: Fill to open the Fill dialog box.
Select the color you want to use as the fill from the Color group box
2.
and enter 15 in the Transparency spin box.
Click OK to close the dialog box and apply the fill. (Once applied,
3.
duplicate, by using power duplicate, the fill over the number of frames
you want to include in the effect.)
Click the Paint tool on the Tool panel and then select the type of brush
4.
you want to use from the Attribute toolbar.
Specify the various attributes of the brush in the Brush panel and then,
5.
in the General Shape tab, click the Erase button.
Note: If you are using a WACOM® UltraPen, you can erase by simply turning
the pen upside down when you draw.
Start painting on the image. As you paint, the fill is removed revealing
6.
the underlying image. (If you want the effect to appear progressively
on each frame, perform a macro recording.)
