Page 6 of 7 Step 5 - Console Shadow! That's not the end though, there's plenty more we can do with the console. Most of it is simple like creating movement or filter transitions, which I'll leave you to figure out. One thing you may find handy to do though is create a shadow on the filter so that it's possible to read the text when the background action is bright. Make a duplicate of the console track, and change the overlay mode to subtract. Next we need to change the Track FX, and Track Motion because as you will no doubt notice, the video preview has become rather messed up. Change the Track FX of the shadow layer so that you now have Black Restore, Black and White, and Quick Blur. Use the settings as shown below. Again, feel free to make a filter package for these filter settings for later use. And finally change the Track Motion so that the shadow is visible beneath the text. One final thing we used in the 4K movies is 2 copies of the main console layer to help emphasise the text a little more, simply duplicate the top layer, and adjust the transparency level of the tracks a little. << Prev - Next >>
