    soft edge blending

    by alfredbanze » Wed Jul 08, 2009 5:28 pm

    hello,
    i just got a matrox dual head2go analog. how can i make soft edge blending of one big video on 2 projectors?

    i tried "layers position setter" module, but i don´t get it. if i make a soft edge with an alpha channel mask i loose a part of the video...

    if i show left part in one layer, right part in a second layer, crop them etc, i loose sync...

    thank you for help

    it seems to work. thank you for your help!
    but ... is there no easier way to do it like this:
    1. layer 1 put a mask with a softedge alphachannel in the center of the screen
    2. vs media to layer module to play a movie on layer 2 + 3 same time
    3. crop them both with crop layer module
    4. layer position module to position the two parts of the video

    i think you'll need two soft edge layers - one for each clip.

    yes, maybe better...

    but isn´t this all something for the next update? it sounds like a procedure we need like a setting we can fix in the advanced output setting.
