the titling menu. Write a short text, or your first
name (you can freely choose font, color and font
size).
Then click on the Box Options button and then
on Box-Background in the window displayed in
order to call up the corresponding window.
Here you activate the Transparency function and
confirm the setting with Ok.
Then call up the Box Options again and change
the panel size and position so that you are at the
same place as your previously drawn mask.
After you have exited titling by clicking on Ok,
select mask mode again, activate the Bleed
direction button in the Transparency window,
and draw a line from right to left.
Draw a mask in the lower third of the picture and
then enter the titling menu. Enter your surname
(for example) and follow the same steps as
before.
After calculation you will see your complete
name in the video scene. Your first name
becomes steadily clearer while your surname
becomes more and more transparent.
