floating picture on a video???

Post by HitchcockVideo »

My system: S2000 with Bogart 3.2c and lots of special effect packs but no cbpaint.

Question: How can I put a floating head shot of someone on a video of someone else.
They do this in comedy pieces on TV all the time.

Thank you!

Hello,

There are two ways to do that. First you can use "PIP Studio" which will allow you to change the size of the head shot to
roughly match the size of the body shots. The tricky part is to have a background behind the head shot that matches
the background in the body shot. You can also use a very soft diffused edge so that the head shot dissoves smoothly
into the body shot.

The second way would be largely the same except shooting against a green screen and add the head again softly
to the body shot via "Blue Box World" with a diffused edge.
