Track matte question

[martijn397]

Hi!

I am trying to create this show which has a videoscreen on the right.

checkout this example of what im trying to achieve:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsqf2YuwrJA

In this screen i need to edit still pictures taken out of photoshop.
This would be simple (edit the pictures in a different sequence and combine the two after which i scale the sequence with the edited pictures) if it wasnt for my screen with rounded edges.
I know i could export the sequence in a quicktime and than apply a track matte but this would greatly disrupt the workflow as i have to make alot of changes back in time.

I have tried to put a track matte on the sequence but this doesnt work.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Best regards, Martijn

Not completely sure what it is you are trying to accomplish, but from the Youtube video, it looks like your simply trying to get the picture in picture look, correct?

Not very difficult to do. If what your looking to accomplish is just that, work on your different photos or video to be placed on the above video track, then scale to fit in position & simply place transitions between the seperate clips & as the timeline progresses, you have your shots smoothly changing as the host narrates the clips.

" if it wasnt for my screen with rounded edges".

Not to sure what you are refering to here but if you are having problems "squaring" the clip to appear boxed like the Youtube video, you can always put a border on the clip or photoshop the border since that's where the pics are comming from.

Hope this helps.
