video masks for VS 4 and 5

[phnxrsngbr]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there is a site where I can download video/photo masks for my projects. I'm definitely not good at trying to create them myself in PSP, and there are hardly any in the "mask frame" in VS4 (I haven't installed VS 5 yet). I've been looking all over for some nice Xmas frames and fun frames, but can't find any. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks very much!

I have 43 frames in my copy of VS X4 - perhaps you didn't install the extra content. I have exactly the same 43 in X5.

They are easy enough to make - they can be png's or tiff's as long as they have a transparent background - I do not use PSP but I have heard that it is not easy to create transparent images there. Once you have a transparent background all you need are some Christmas clip art items and away you go.

sorry I do not know of any site where you can download frames ready made.

but I have very very quickly made up one from the first clipart I found - I don't know what your looking for - but download this - unzip it and import it to VS and see what you think - works for me.

Thanks very much Brian! 43 frames?? No, I never got those. I downloaded VS4 but have the shipped version of VS-5. I'll check the folder I stored VS4 in and see if the content is there. Pretty sure I downloaded everything.

Thanks very much for your frames, too! I'm going to see if I can make them work, they're very nice!

Have a great weekend

just put the video in the top track - put the frame in the overlay track and set the length you require.

Hi

Where are you looking for the Frames

You mention Mask Frames, that to me says Chroma Key.

There are other sample Frames accessed from the Library
Click the flower looking icon, right of the Preview Screen.
This opens the Colour Library, select the down-arrow next to the word “Color”, you should have Objects -- Frames and Flash available.
