Paw Print animation

[woodchuck]

I am preparing a video of our dog and would like to have paw prints that move across the title clip. I thought I could do this in Painting Creator but not sure how to insert an image. Or is there a better way to do this? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I am using VS Pro X4.


Thanks.

Hi

There may be many ways, but without seeing the image you have makes it a little difficult. Can you attach the image to your post?

If your image has several paw prints then using two identical images, one with prints and the other without, using A/B transition—I think Slide will reveal the paw prints.

Thank you, lata, for your reply.

I have attached 2 photos. I am hoping to put the star photo as a background and have an animated gif of the paw print going across the sidewalk. If I can make an animated gif of the paw prints I can use chroma key to make it look like the prints are "walking" across the hollywood star. I might be able to find something online that I can use but I would prefer to create my own so I have complete control over it.

I had PSP V7 that included Jasc's Animation shop. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find my CD. I think it would have worked to create what I want. Perhaps someone has a recommendation for free animation software that would accomplish what I want. I do not want to purchase something as I would probably only use it once.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi

The VSP should open using X4, you will have to re-link to your images.

Is this the sort of thing you were thinking of.
VS X4 only has 6 overlay tracks, if you need more prints, create one track half way, render to Dv-Avi
Then add the rest to the new video file.

The paw images are a similar colour to the background and do blend in. You may want to use a lighter colour for the paws.
I have used Chroma Key to remove the paw background, but you could create a Gif or Png with a transparent background.
