Moving Path Tutorial

This is a tutorial on using the Moving Path filter in Ulead Media Studio to make the video shake around and stuff.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make the video zoom in and out, shake back and forth, up and down, diagonally, shake and zoom at the same time, and rotate while shaking and zooming... pretty much make the video go crazy and awesome.

The first thing you do is create a blank moving path filter, that you can customize. First go to moving path, and click on 2D Advanced. Click the dissapear filter, or any other one that rotates. Now, to reset the filter to do nothing, click the diamond thing at the end.



Then set the width to 320, the height to 240, and the rotate degrees to 0.



Now that you have made this effect blank click add, and add that to custom moving path as a blank filter (name it blank or something). This is the one that will start out blank, that you can change whenever you want to create a new moving path effect.

Now drag the marker to where you want it and click the plus icon to get more diamonds on the moving path. These will be different points in the effect.



Change the resolution and the video will zoom in.



Drag the red square to move the video, so it shakes back and forth, up and down, or diagonally. This changes the X and Y positions.



Change the rotation degrees to rotate the video. You can make the video spin, and rotate back and forth. Just remember, when you change the rotation on the first diamond, it effects the rest, so you might have to keep resetting all the diamonds to get your desired result.



Click on each of the diamonds, and set different settings, zooming in and out, shaking the video, and when you finish, press play on the preview, and it will show the MS doing all the shaking and stuff. And you can change it. Then when you're done, click add to add your moving path to the custom folder. Later, you can go into the custom folder and drag your effect onto a clip in the timeline.
