Squad players turn,say their name and position.

Hey everyone,

I am a total newbie to video editing.

I am trying to find out if there is a way of creating a sequence that is similar to that of the television.

When before a big sports game, all the squad players are shown on the screen in thumbnails, then each player zooms to fill the screen and they say their name and their playing position. Then zoom back. Each player does this in turn.

If I took footage of all my players stating their name and position, could I replicate the very professional looking graphic display like the television?

Any help or direction would be great.

Thank you

Rugby Nut

I'm not a big fan of sport (same if i like ruggby ) but i think yes. You must use severals effects for realise this operation. It is a P.I.P. (Picture in Picture). In fact , you have a video in a corner of the first video and you grown it for take all the place of the first video. You can applied all the effects and transitions that you want on the two clips (=videos). Look in the forum (a subject is in the tutorial section, use zoom, layout and agencement.
