![]() ![]() I have experimented with the effect strip - thank you. I feel that this is not really possible with blender right now. I was hoping to reuse the same base shape model and quickly create new instances of it as needed along the timeline (only having to resize & reposition it as required for whatever area I want highlighted at that point in time). Then I’ll use another one to highlight some other part of the screen later, and so on. They just fade in/out to highlight some region of the screen for a few seconds. My shape overlays are not animated though. I understand about the image sequence now. I’m still open to other ideas that would somehow let me do all this in Blender and just be able to reuse the same underlying shape object/model multiple times, but reposition and resize it as needed along the time line. ![]() Do you mean I should be importing all my PNG circle images together in the same image strip? If so, I’m not sure how I would make that work, given I need a different sized circle in a different position at say frame 1000 than what I used back at frame 100…Īlso regarding your idea of “alpha map” - did you mean I just need to make sure my shape images have transparency? Sorry for my ignorance! My shape images so far are just completely independent from each other on the time line, but you mentioned an “image sequence”. It seems a bit more complicated than what I used to do… so I’m looking for any improvements to the above workflow Repeat steps 1-10 for every other place in my movie where I want to highlight a different area.Fade out the red-circle image (again, I only know about cross-fades in blender so far…).Drag the image strip along the timeline for as many frames as I need it to show.Add some fade-in effect - haven’t quite worked this one out - as I’ve only used cross fades between strips so far….If I export from Inkscape a minimum size image of the circle, I have to check the “Image Offset” option and manually reposition the circle over the area I want to highlight.Import the image into Blender - using the “Alpha Over” option for the Blend mode.Export this as a png image with a transparent background.Hide the original screen grab so I’m just left with the circle.(This gives my a shape of the right size) ![]()
