1 00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:01,004 - [Presenter] I'm going to show you 2 00:00:01,004 --> 00:00:04,000 how to take custom masking a step further 3 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,006 and create a cool zoomed in scene effect or like this. 4 00:00:08,006 --> 00:00:12,001 Okay, so what I have here is a regular screen capture. 5 00:00:12,001 --> 00:00:15,002 I'm going to pop open this group here. 6 00:00:15,002 --> 00:00:16,002 On this bottom track, 7 00:00:16,002 --> 00:00:20,000 I have a regular screen capture and on the track above it 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,006 what I have is a duplicate track 9 00:00:22,006 --> 00:00:25,004 that has been masked and zoomed in. 10 00:00:25,004 --> 00:00:28,008 Showing the mouse actions up close and personal. 11 00:00:28,008 --> 00:00:33,007 So let's reconstruct this in this second section here. 12 00:00:33,007 --> 00:00:35,008 If I disabled this bottom layer, 13 00:00:35,008 --> 00:00:38,002 you can see I have an identical track 14 00:00:38,002 --> 00:00:40,008 with a custom mask that I created earlier. 15 00:00:40,008 --> 00:00:42,009 So I'm going to enhance this a bit. 16 00:00:42,009 --> 00:00:45,001 I'm going to move it here to the middle of the screen 17 00:00:45,001 --> 00:00:47,008 so it doesn't get the edges chopped off of it. 18 00:00:47,008 --> 00:00:50,001 And now I'm going to add a colored stroke 19 00:00:50,001 --> 00:00:54,005 around the mask to help separate it from the clip below. 20 00:00:54,005 --> 00:00:57,008 I'm going to go to annotations, 21 00:00:57,008 --> 00:01:00,008 choose shapes and I'm going to find a circle here, 22 00:01:00,008 --> 00:01:03,006 any color is fine, I'm going to go with yellow. 23 00:01:03,006 --> 00:01:06,002 Now, I need to resize the circle 24 00:01:06,002 --> 00:01:09,003 to about the same size as my mask, a little bigger. 25 00:01:09,003 --> 00:01:10,005 I'm going to drag the corner 26 00:01:10,005 --> 00:01:12,005 but I'm going to hold down shift while I do it. 27 00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:13,009 So it remains a circle. 28 00:01:13,009 --> 00:01:17,002 If I don't hold Shift, it start to get this wonky circle. 29 00:01:17,002 --> 00:01:21,000 So hold down Shift so it's a little bigger than my mask 30 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,007 and I'm going to reposition it over the mask. 31 00:01:24,007 --> 00:01:27,007 Let's extend the duration of that shape to match the clip 32 00:01:27,007 --> 00:01:31,004 and then I'm going to put my mask above the circle. 33 00:01:31,004 --> 00:01:32,009 And that actually came out pretty good. 34 00:01:32,009 --> 00:01:34,009 If I needed to, I could make it a little bigger 35 00:01:34,009 --> 00:01:38,001 or smaller here and then reposition it 36 00:01:38,001 --> 00:01:39,004 but that actually worked great. 37 00:01:39,004 --> 00:01:41,005 So I'm just going to leave it as is. 38 00:01:41,005 --> 00:01:44,001 Step one complete. 39 00:01:44,001 --> 00:01:46,009 Now I'm going to group these two so that I'm able to work 40 00:01:46,009 --> 00:01:49,001 with them as one single clips. 41 00:01:49,001 --> 00:01:53,000 So I'm going to select both, right click and choose Group 42 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,006 and I may as well rename this to make my life easy 43 00:01:55,006 --> 00:01:57,006 so I'm just going to right click the group, 44 00:01:57,006 --> 00:02:02,005 choose rename group and I'll call it circle. 45 00:02:02,005 --> 00:02:04,009 Let's just call it circle, how about that (laughs). 46 00:02:04,009 --> 00:02:05,008 That works nice. 47 00:02:05,008 --> 00:02:08,001 Okay, so now I can move this clip, 48 00:02:08,001 --> 00:02:11,000 these two clips as a single clip. 49 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,001 The next thing I'm going to do is zoom 50 00:02:13,001 --> 00:02:14,009 these two clips or group. 51 00:02:14,009 --> 00:02:20,007 Let's go with about 200% for a nice zoomed in look. 52 00:02:20,007 --> 00:02:22,008 Now in the past, you may have heard me say 53 00:02:22,008 --> 00:02:26,005 I try to never scale up past 100%. 54 00:02:26,005 --> 00:02:28,004 However, I found with screen captures, 55 00:02:28,004 --> 00:02:30,009 I can get away with it even at 200%, 56 00:02:30,009 --> 00:02:34,001 this clip still looks pretty good. 57 00:02:34,001 --> 00:02:36,000 Okay, and let's turn on the layer beneath here 58 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,008 so we can see what's going on and I'm going to reposition 59 00:02:38,008 --> 00:02:42,002 this group so I can see both the wide scene 60 00:02:42,002 --> 00:02:46,002 and the zoomed in scene at the same time. 61 00:02:46,002 --> 00:02:47,007 Now I don't actually want to see 62 00:02:47,007 --> 00:02:49,000 the zoomed in scene the whole time, 63 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,004 I really just want it for this section right here. 64 00:02:51,004 --> 00:03:00,000 So I'm going to trim the group from both sides, that's good. 65 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,001 And just for fun, let's add a bit of animation to it. 66 00:03:03,001 --> 00:03:05,002 You could add it animation or behavior 67 00:03:05,002 --> 00:03:06,004 or whatever it works for you, 68 00:03:06,004 --> 00:03:07,009 I'm going to choose behaviors 69 00:03:07,009 --> 00:03:10,002 and I'm going to go with a fly in behavior. 70 00:03:10,002 --> 00:03:12,006 I'll just drag that to the group. 71 00:03:12,006 --> 00:03:14,009 Go over here to my properties panel. 72 00:03:14,009 --> 00:03:17,004 For the in you can change this if you want to. 73 00:03:17,004 --> 00:03:21,003 I'm going to go with 95% for pretty quick fly in 74 00:03:21,003 --> 00:03:23,007 and during I don't want anything 75 00:03:23,007 --> 00:03:28,003 and for out, let's go with another quick fly out at 95% 76 00:03:28,003 --> 00:03:34,001 and let's see how that looks. 77 00:03:34,001 --> 00:03:35,004 All right, Camtasia is kind of having 78 00:03:35,004 --> 00:03:36,007 a problem previewing that. 79 00:03:36,007 --> 00:03:41,003 So I'll just grab through here for you slowly. 80 00:03:41,003 --> 00:03:43,006 Okay, and now I'm going to take both of these 81 00:03:43,006 --> 00:03:46,001 and reposition this track, 82 00:03:46,001 --> 00:03:48,005 select both right-click and group 83 00:03:48,005 --> 00:03:50,005 so that everything stays in sync. 84 00:03:50,005 --> 00:03:54,008 So I've got my wide scene, pop up zoom scene 85 00:03:54,008 --> 00:03:57,000 and then it flies out again. 86 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,002 Now there are a lot of creative ways you can use this trick. 87 00:04:00,002 --> 00:04:02,006 It works for live action too. 88 00:04:02,006 --> 00:04:05,006 For example, here's an instructional music video 89 00:04:05,006 --> 00:04:08,000 I helped my wife create for her class. 90 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,006 And who says the mass cast has to be a circle? 91 00:04:10,006 --> 00:04:12,004 If you go here to your annotations, 92 00:04:12,004 --> 00:04:14,002 you could use any of these shapes. 93 00:04:14,002 --> 00:04:18,000 You could use a star, a rectangle, pretty much any shape. 94 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,007 Do whatever works for you in your project. 95 00:04:20,007 --> 00:04:23,009 So that's how you create a zoom within a wide scene. 96 00:04:23,009 --> 00:04:26,003 See if you can find a use for this little trick 97 00:04:26,003 --> 00:04:27,006 in your next project.
