Mask+Tool

MASK – Create an effect using a MASK. Your objective is to create a movie so that the large letters NYC move across a black stage and you see the NYC skyline through the letters (like a stencil) as move across 8 points - good background with lots of light 10 point - big, thick moving letters that move slow enough so that you can read them and see the background 2 points for going above and beyond the requirements
 * GRADING:**
 * 20 POINTS**

1-**Layer One** = a black background (this is the bottom-most layer) Click on the arrow tool, go down to the Properties toolbar and click on the background swatch and select a color 2-**Layer Two** = put a skyline of NYC (this is the middle layer) In that layer import a picture of the NYC skyline that isn’t dark (then you size it so it’s over the whole square) 3-**Layer Three** = NYC text Using the type tool, type: NYC in super-size text Note: Manually type number larger than 96 in the text size window and press Enter 4- Make the NYC text start off stage left (time 1), move across the screen and end (last time frame) off stage right 5- Right click on the NYC text __//layer//__ (that means right-click on the area where you name the layer, not on the timeline) and select MASK 6- Insert a __keyframe__ on each of the other 2 layers so that they are visible to the end of the movie. If you don't do this, you will see the NYC text scroll across the stage with nothing behind it. Grading:
