Hi guys,

Firstly a big hello from me...its my first post..:)

I have been using the basic features of Pro Premium now for a while, I am new to movie making in general but I fancy making a Seven Deadly Sins movie trailer from some video and stills I have.

Firstly, are there any custom templates around (I cant find any) or would some one make one for me....for a fee obvs..;)

Secondly, how do I make that flash effect - kind of really fast white flash like effects

Any help required with the ideas or effect here muchly appreciated..:)

Thanks in advance...

Dave

The Seven Deadly Sins 2 movie trailer uses mostly cuts between objects and the Ken Burns effect (Zooming in/out)

Answering in reverse order ie easiest first

. . . . how do I make that flash effect - kind of really fast white flash like effects . . . .

Add a Fade through Black transition
Click the Transition icon on the image or video object select Settings (at the bottom of the list)
In the dialog that opens move all the sliders to the right and click OK
Click the Transition icon again and select Set transition length
In the dialog that opens the units are mm:ss:ff, ie minutes, seconds, frames, set the number of frames to 06 (you can adjust this later if needed by repeating the selection and changing the number of frames) and OK the dialog

For the other effects eg Ken Burns (Zoom in or out) you use the Effects, View/Animation, Size/position and have to use Keyframing.

I would advise you to watch the tutorials by @browj2 in the tutorial section of the forum, these cover a lot of the basics and keyframing.
