Video effects help.

[PLAGUEz]

I'm just experimenting here, it's nothing serious or not part of a larger project or anything..

 

I download a video on youtube of a drone flying over some fields and houses. I imported it into Windows movie maker, removed the annoying techno music which always seems to make an appearance in such videos, added the sound effect I wanted on a loop.

 

Changed the video to slightly blurry and black and white with some other minor changes.

 

I want it to look like the schvall targeting system display. If you get my drift.

 

However, the last bit is getting the screen info (cross hairs) and other such stuff to onto the video. Is this going to be difficult> Any tips?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Not difficult; but time consuming.

 

For static stuff; draw it in photoshop using simple shapes and export it as a transparent .png, you can then drop that ontop of your footage in windows movie maker (probably.. I use premiere).

 

For the text and elements that are dynamc you need to use built in tools and use keyframes to change the values dynamically.

I see, do photoshop/gimp is the next stop. I'll leave the dynamic stuff 'til last.

 

thanks.
