interface design larger than video

[swaley]

Hi,

I have designed a metal looking Tv interface in Photoshop and want to attach it in with my video footage. I dont want the interface to cover any of the action in the video so I have made it larger than the video itself.

Is it possible to have the video inside of the Tv interface without the borders getting clipped by the image?// if it is how do i do it???

Gratefull for any help

you'll want to use the Motion control to size the picture. Right click the clip in the timeline, choose Motion, then drag the start and stop points to the center of the screen.
you can now resize the video to exactly the right fit. Be sure youve filled the inner part of your border with blue or green to use as a mask. this is how you do the 'picture in picture' newscast thing too. I learned this thanx to someone helping me in this very forum! (the start and stop points move the clip from A to B over the duration of the clip, so you'll want them the same..)
