1st_and_10 // arrow generator for American Football, video + description

Hi everybody,
I'm more in soccer, but noticed my lil' Scoreboard Generator made a lot of clicks. So, I dare to add something new, …




No idea, when or what or how, but there're these arrows, 1st, 2nd and 3rd and some miles to go (yards? oops, my fail ... :whistle:


(no audio, got a cold + my harsh German accent = you wouldn't understand anything)

voice-over would tell you

• after installation, you find 1st_and_10 under Generators; apply it to your clip
• now, a bunch of options to integrate it to your scenery:
• the slider allows to size the whole graphic
• the knob 'Perspective' rotates the graphic along its x-axis to emulate perspective
• Rotation therfor rotates to make it fit to your point of view
• to put the graphic in its place, use the Transform Tool as usual …
• there's a drop down to select left/right
• the Textbox adds the <cough> text; I've seen, the text varies ("3rd and goal") ...
• you can change the arrows outline-color: freehand by color-wheel or by color-picker (picking your teams trikot color for example)
• and finally, to 'comp' the graphic into the game: in the Inspector, tic the Video tab; scroll down to 'Compositing'; in the drop-down select 'Overlay'; finally, vary the 'Opacity' slider => it's not a 100% as in the TV, but close ....

feel free to use and customize this plug-in; I've seen hundreds of variations in broadcast design; team logos; glitzyy effects; animations; 3D would be charming… my lil' plug-in is very basic...


Final word from Europe:
should be called handball anyhow ... :lol:

Enjoy movie making!!

Again not a generator I would use, but it's great to see you sharing your creativity/time & effort with others. well done.

Thanks for your kind words, let me start with a smile in the day (here early morning) .
And: I have no need either for such a plug-in :silly:

…, mostly these are by-products from some school-projects, I'm supporting as volunteer.
In this case, the 'mission' was: how to give diff. objects same cclor (keyword: links), and how to simulate perspective (keyword: publish x-rotation) .....

==addendum==
me happy, something like 1st&10 does exist in football ... very different to our football ... LOL
