Adding a Logo

After learning how to key frame and layering our video we decided to add the MTV Rocks logo to our video. We first had to decide where the logo would be positioned on our video. After looking at these images, we decided that the picture would need to be in the top left corner of the video.

We then needed to import the image of the logo. We saved an MTV Rocks logo as a PNG file as this meant that certain areas of white background wold become transparent, which is what we wanted. We dragged the image into Final Cut and then on to the video track above our original footage. This allowed the two tracks to overlap each other. When we first put the image into the video track it came to fill the whole screen, so we had to check the option for Image and Wire frame, so we could adjust the size and position of the logo on the screen. After we had done this we simply stretched the image across the entire song and then added fade in and outs for the logo. This gave the video a more professional look about it.
