Curved

Hi

I have tried a search but not found any help plus I have also played around with the 3D LE PlugIn but I feel I am stabbing in the dark.

This is what I am trying to achive:

I have a photo I have entered on the Time-Line as a PNG. This contains, amongst other things, a glass photo frame that holds a 8x6 photo and the glass is curved so sits on its own on the shelf.

I have used Track Motion and Pan & Crop to show the video wityhin the photo frame with reasonable effect but what I really want to do is make the video look curved (the top and bottom of the video cuved towards the center slightly) so that the video appears to fit in the glass frame more snuggly.

Can anyone offer any pointers of how to do this in V5?

Cheers.

spherize FX or deform FX are two that might create the effect for you.

Deform does what I want - thanks:)

BTW, even using just a very small subtle amount of deform adds ages to the pre-render time - but I suppose that should be expected.

Still, the end result looks cool:)
