Transparent masks or shape crop for video
I wanted to animate some videos, as shapes that fly in. I've seen it where one video flies in from the top and is the shape of a triangle and one flies from the bottom as a triangle. They then meet...
That's not something you can create in Storyline. You'd probably do it in something like After Effects.
You could possibly simulate something similar. Here's an idea:
- Create an image from the first frame.
- Cut the image into the pieces you want
- Assemble the image on the Storyline slide and apply entrance animations
- Put the video on the slide underneath everything. Cover it up or hide it.
- Animate the images in and when they fall into place have the images disappear and the video appear and play.
PowerPoint is also a good video creator. You could possibly do something in PPT since it has more robust video features and can use teh shape and video and then save it all as a video and then bring into Storyline.
