Dream effect

I am using FCP 4. I would like to have dream effect that you are dreaming. Showing ummm... smoke on all around edge something like that. Any suggestions? Thanks

you could put an 8 point matte with big feathers on your clip on v2.
Put something abstract and "dreamy" on v1. don't forget the ripple dissolve in and out of the dream sequence...

A quick-n-easy method would be to put a color matte on V1 and your 'dream clip' on V2. Set the color matte's color to whatever you want. Use the Crop and Edge Feather controls on the 'dream clip' to reduce and soften the edges. Adding a bit of Gaussian Blur and color correction/enhancement to the 'dream clip' may help sell the effect.
