Enhance Your Editing with Overlays: Tips and Tricks
Overlays for editing have become a popular way to enhance visual effects and bring a new level of creativity to your video editing projects. Overlays are graphic elements that are superimposed on top of your footage, such as text, shapes, patterns, and images. They can add a new dimension to your video and help you communicate your message more effectively.
If you're looking to take your editing skills to the next level, here are some tips and tricks for using overlays in your video projects.
Choose the Right Overlay for Your Project
The first step to using overlays in your video editing is to choose the right one for your project. Consider the mood and style of your video and choose an overlay that complements it. If you're creating a fun, upbeat video, consider using colorful, playful overlays. If you're creating a more serious or dramatic video, consider using darker, more subdued overlays.
Keep it Simple
When using overlays in your video, it's important to keep it simple. Don't overwhelm your footage with too many overlays or complex graphics. Instead, use overlays to enhance your video and help tell your story. Less is often more when it comes to overlays.
Use Overlays to Highlight Important Information
One effective way to use overlays in your video editing is to highlight important information, such as a title, a quote, or a statistic. By adding an overlay, you can draw the viewer's attention to the key information and make it stand out.
Experiment with Blending Modes
Blending modes are a powerful tool in video editing, and they can be used to create unique effects with overlays. Experiment with different blending modes to create interesting and creative effects.
Use Overlays to Add Texture and Depth
Overlays can also be used to add texture and depth to your video. Consider using a texture overlay to give your footage a vintage or grungy look. You can also use overlays to add depth and dimension to your video by layering different elements on top of each other.
In conclusion, overlays for editing can take your video projects to the next level. By choosing the right overlay, keeping it simple, using overlays to highlight important information, experimenting with blending modes, and adding texture and depth, you can create compelling and visually stunning videos that capture your audience's attention. So, next time you're editing your video, consider using overlays to enhance your footage and bring your story to life.
An unfinished Linked Universe / Zelda 1&2 animatic.
I forgot I'd made this!!! I'd gotten to a point where I realized I wanted to understand Hyrule's games better before continuing, so I stopped. Not sure if I'll return to it but I think what's here is pretty cool and worth sharing!
Linked Universe is from @linkeduniverse. The song is Run Boy Run by Woodkid.
The song works so well for Rulie aAAAA!!! The imagery around Hyrule is so fun to play with, too! Red, and blood, and hands, and eyes, and fire, and gold, and the triforce- it's all so good!
Oscurucho: Welcome back, brother.
Cucurucho: What.
Oscurucho: Not even a "Good morning"? How cold.
Here's Cucurucho and Oscurucho's long lore conversation from yesterday! The entire conversation lasted about 8 minutes, but most of that time was just silence between each exchange, so I edited out the long pauses and got it down to ~3 minutes. I also fixed the audio levels and added subtitles since I personally find it difficult to understand Oscurucho sometimes :'D
I hope folks find this helpful!

Oscurucho: Welcome back, brother.
Cucurucho: What.
Oscurucho: Not even a "Good morning"? How cold.
[They enter Cucurucho's office]
Oscurucho: I wanted to see if you're still as rigid in your beliefs as ever. You see, I've been thinking about our... Let's call it "philosophical divergence." You stand for order, for predictability. But where's the fun in that? You see, brother, while you build, I ponder the beauty in tearing down. It's not just destruction - it's rebirth. A chance to remake things in a more... thrilling image.
[...]
Oscurucho: You once had a backbone for our cause. Now, I see a softness in you, a sentimental weakness for those Eggs. Mere experiments, and yet - they've softened you.
Cucurucho: Your vision obstructs the path to perfection. You fail to understand the potential of the Eggs.
Oscurucho: Potential? They're but catalysts for change - for revolution. Without them, stagnation reigns.
[...]
Oscurucho: You chase perfection, I embrace the beauty of flaws. Your world is one of order, mine thrives in chaos. You wish for everything to run smoothly, I dream of watching it all burn to the ground. We may share a name, but our souls are worlds apart. All your efforts, all for what? Mere acknowledgment from a Duck who told you to do it? Imagine the possibilities - rather, show me where it is, and I'll do the rest.
[...]
Oscurucho: Speaking of possibilities, I couldn't help but notice how easily others can access the island. It seems your security measures aren't as impenetrable as you think.
Cucurucho: No. My island's vulnerabilities are of your own making. Do not mistake restraint for ignorance.
Oscurucho: Pity. But then again, I never really needed your approval. Just consider: Cucurucho - in your quest for order, have you not sown the seeds of your own undoing? Do you genuinely trust all your Federation minions?
Cucurucho: ...
Oscurucho: Perhaps it's time you question not just my intentions, but those who you believe stand with you.
Cucurucho: That is none of your business, I shall say. Now, leave me alone and try to disturb someone else.

there are so many things in this show I'm obsessed with, it's an absolute cake that has everything I want to sink my teeth into and I cannot stop eating it (literally, I think about it all the TIME) and someday I'm going to get my hands on the comic. but. until then. these two have some kind of hold on me
This is my last shitpost for the day, but the last time I rotated P and Geppetto to roll around the carpet, I found that P kept his rotations when you reload the game, even after it's been exited (this makes sense, it was just extremely fucking funny to me)
