Short cross-hair video title - DEMO. Possible forum challenge?

What to do if/when WebVfx disappears

I’ve already tried using OBS to do a CSS logo animation and it works quite well. Unfortunately OBS cannot export a video with alpha-channel and the animation had a transparent background. So I gave it a single colour background (#00fe00), exported it virtually lossless, imported it as a clip in Shotcut and used Chroma Key. However I had to have quite a color-distance to get it to work and that made some of the green in my logo to become transparent. I sorted the problem by exporting in OBS usi…

Version 20.06 and 20.07 work just fine (maybe 20.09 as well, if that’s what @jonray is running).

The “Mask: Simple Shape” filter to create thin lines and the use of both “No Sync” and “360 Transform” for vertical and horizontal animations add a lot of versatility.

Wow, cool! Thanks for posting this creative variation!! Nice idea to add a camera shutter sound.

Here’s my go at this, I used GIMP
to create two images, one for the vertical line and one for the horizontal line, I animated the horizontal using the “No Sync” filter, and the vertical one using the “360: Transform” yaw property.

Good work, @IMY, and welcome to the forum. There’s definitely less flickering if you use @dimadjdocent’s idea of the “No Sync” filter and “360: Transform” filters.

You’re too kind, @bentacular. Like the feathered lines, BTW.
