PDF Mask Tutorial

[Trevor]

Hi can/will anyone point me at a tutorial on using masks, I'm trying to remove a horizontal mask on one photo to reveal the second photo underneath, I just don't seem to get to work correctly hence the request for a PDF tutorial, I prefer a PDF because at my age it is easier to learn from the written word.

Thanks

Thanks Dave. I'm tying to emulate Bad Dancers "Elegant slideshow" where he has strips (masks ) that move to reveal parts of a photo, it's a good effect, will keep trying

many thanks

Trevor ( Stockport ) not that far from you

Add a Blank 16:9 Slide to a Project and Apply this Style. Analyse the Strips 1-4 in O&A.

Thank you so much, that is the effect I was going for, already working on the how the mechanic's work, sometimes the logic just wont show itself to me, either that or the grey matter is solidifying...........

Thanks again davegee

Here's a different approach to Strips which does not use Masks. Please excuse the Background

Add two 16:9 images to a 16:9 project and apply the Horizontal or Vertical version.

Hi Davegee, Barry Beckham does something similar which ended with an X effect, your approach i think I like a lot more, I now need to start learning how you did it, as you can tell I'm new to PTE AV Studio, I was much more effective with after effects and encore two programs I really enjoyed but sadly no longer have access to. Thanks for setting me on the right path. now I just have to knuckle down and do the studying.

With many thanks
