the scene, and the inactive area should have the
value “0”.
Then set the width of the blue-box effect so that
the text is clearly cut out. Calculate the new text
animation and, if satisfactory, make a scene
from it.
A further variation is to let the text appear from
two points, or to “smear” from the image center
to the edge. Be creative!
For example, if you record a person in front of
a single-color background, then this person can
also appear (as the text above) from any spot.
You can use a scene that pictures a glass or a
magic hat at a given position. Make note of the
position, wipe the text or person in the second
scene exactly at this position and overlay the
scenes with the blue-box effect. It appears as if
the animation arises by magic from the glass or
the hat.
