This effect is actually pretty easy to pull off
The real trick is
the same thing I talk about in almost every video
and that's setting up your shot
I set up a cutting board and a frying pan on the stove and I tried to light it as evenly
as possible. I reached in and bounced a ping-pong ball
on the cutting board to convince everybody it was a real ping-pong ball
then I bounced it right into the frying pan as you can see it bounced right off
the frying pan wasn't even hot and it went right off the stump but what I did
next was I turned on the stove underneath that frying pan I took an egg
and put it into a cup and I made sure I stayed way out of shot got centered over
the pan and brought my hand straight up out of the shot as much as possible then
all I did was dump that egg into that hot frying pan now I had all the pieces
that I needed to create this effect what I did next was I took that first section
and went right to the spot where the ping-pong ball hit the frying pan from
here I went up under the preview window and took a snap shot the next thing I
did was bring that snap shot down right at that spot and lay it into a track
above my main footage what that made this scene do was freeze in time right
when the ping-pong ball hits the next thing I did was to right-click on that
freeze frame go up to the crop and zoom feature and in the ratio drop down I set
it to custom I then grabbed the left side of this image and brought it over
right to the frying pan and clicked ok now the image tends to center itself so
all I did was left click up in the preview window and drag it over to the
right to get it aligned back up with the footage underneath
you can go right to the split point and see if it's a little bit off I can see I
need to move a little bit to the right with it
I'll left-click on that and use the arrow keys of my keyboard to nudge it
over just a tiny bit once I found I had that lined up perfectly I went and
grabbed the second half of the footage where I dropped the egg into the frying
pan I did the same thing and I moved forward right to where that egg hits the
pan and I sliced the footage I got rid of the first half and then brought that
back over right above where I have the other ones lined up so now right when
that ping-pong ball hits it turns into the egg footage which doesn't match
perfectly but we can take care of that an easy way is to go up to your effects
tab go down to utility and choose image mask and bring that down onto your upper
track this will allow you to put a mask on to your upper footage if you turn off
your other tracks you'll be able to see the mask more clearly let's left-click
on that footage again and under the video tab scroll down to video effects
and we can control this mask the first thing we'll want to do is shrink it down
quite a bit and let's see if we can get that positioned in place so it's just
sort of mimicking the bottom of the pan
that's fairly close let's turn on the other tracks and take a peek
now the coloring is a little bit off I can see it so I'll double left-click on
that upper footage in my timeline go up to the color option I'm gonna scroll
down to the tone option this way I can pull some of the brightness back so it
tends to blend in with the bottom of that pan a little better that looks
pretty close let me render that out quickly I'm gonna
extend the image out to the end of my original footage and if I did this right
after my bounce my ping pong ball should come up land in the pan and look just
like an egg splattering in the pan... pretty cool huh?"
