2. The Candy Factory program
Candy Factory is a software program, which
graphically improves texts, logos and symbols.
It offers countless means to do so, such as
3D look, structures, patterns, glow, light or
shadows. Candy Factory already comes with
loads of ready-to-use projects, which will
give you fast access to results; the program
also allows for making flexible and individual
changes.
Once you have installed Candy Factory, you will
see the program listed in the Transition Effects
list.
In order to start work with Candy Factory, you
will need two scenes in the Storyboard – just like
with all other Transition Effects. The first (left)
scene represents the background and would
usually be a normal video scene, which may
also be static. The second (right) scene must be
black/white. It serves as a `mask´, which may
be a previously created text, a picture, logo or
a drawing made with Akaba - New Concept.
