SUPERIMPOSE

i. Open the template as the background and your first image as the foreground. Place the image over one of the black rectangles and then select the rectangle crop under the mask tab. 

ii. Use the rectangle crop to crop the image where it meets the black line, yet doesn't crop out the subject you want to "pop out". For example, below, I put the crop tool right on the black line and stopped right at Allison's head. Do this for both sides of the image if needed. 

iii. Use the brush to erase the rest of the image that you don't want until you get something that looks similar to the below image. Repeat for all images on the template. 

iv. Open the texture in the add ons or another of your preference and put it on screen or another overlay mode of your choice. Use the soft brush under the mask tab to erase any unwanted texture areas and then merge. 

v. If you want your background to be something other than straight white, upload a light colored image as the foreground and put it on darken. Use the brush under the mask tab to erase any areas on your other images that you don't like. Save and add your title!

COMMENTS

I actually got this idea from a yearbook page layout I had seen in my multimedia class, so props to me I guess? idk, haha. I thought it was kinda cool.

oh, and if any of you are reading this now and don't have superimpose, I redid the first chapter in the first BCT titled V Share to get it for free. hope it helps!

question; anyone use final cut pro and willing to spare a few tips? lmao
