fog effect

Hi folks,

Does anyone know how to create a fog effect? I want to have some coloured, moving fog over a title (on a black bacground)

I thought of creating it in iMovie using its pre-made filter, then importing it into FCE, but no luck there. I can't get it to work over a black clip in iMovie without a title also being there, and don't much like the title options in iMovie.

I've tried the free plugin offered by CHV (the Silk and Fog one) but that is static fog - no wind moving it - which is not what I'm after.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrew

Tom,

I'm exporting from iMovie by dragging the clip from the Timeline onto the Desktop. Then I go to FCE > Import.

I don't know if transparency information is being brought with the clip - it's the first I've heard of the term.

How do I set the alpha channenl in FCE within the Browser or item properties? This is new terminology to me too.
