Image masking video in Motion (Part 2)

Now we have to open up our "Motion" software.

Create a new file with PAL DV settings.

Once you have that, drag in your desired video. Desirably with a white background.
Next import your secondary video file (this is the one that will be moving inside your text).
Then we also need the image which we created in PhotoShop, imported it with all the layers.

Now that we have all that, we go into our Library > Filters > Keying > Luma Key and drag that Key onto the video. Now whatever is in front of the white background will be visible in front of the secondary file.

Now we drag the time line of our image and place it where ever we want it to appear. Once you have selected the position of where you image appears, we need to select the "Text Layer" of the image.

With that selected we go into Add Behaviour > Basic Motion > Throw. Now with the "Throw" behaviour selected we select the "HUD" function.

In this function we can choose the direction we want the text to move across in the video.

Last Step, we add a layer mask on the bottle video. This will make it so that it appears only inside the texts.


And there it is, Save/Export your video :D
