NextPreviousHomeSand Reveal for Title.



steveg | 3 years ago | 6 comments | 643 views

Hi,

I'm trying to create a show where the title is revealed by sand blowing away, from the left to the right. The idea is the title will be covered by sand and then revealed when the sand is blown away.

The attached screenshot shows the title I'm working with (a PNG file I created).

I'm using a particle layer attached to the picture layer but I'm not quite sure how to do it.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you tried a gradient wipe?

You need 3 pictures:
1) from (top left)
2) to (top right)
3) gradient wipe (bottom left)

The Filters\GradientWipe effect creates the transition (bottom right)

The installer comes with a demo:
Picture\TransitionGradientWipe.bt

You could also try to use particles:

Or you could use a video:

Thank you for the suggestions Michiel.

This is the sort of effect I'm trying to create.

Attaching particles to the text and moving it from back to front will do the trick.

Thank Michiel, I'll give that a go.
