Montages
Montages in Pinnacle Studio for iPad are supplied motion graphics templates with
spaces provided for your own media. Think of using a Montage when you need an
instant title sequence or a dramatic transition.
The Montages section of the Library offers a selection of Montages designed to
serve a variety of purposes. The static thumbnails in the Library cannot show all
facets of a Montage, so it is worth while to preview the different themes in full as
you are getting to know the collection.
The Montages section of the Library (left side), with one of the ‘Neon’ Montage
sequences selected for previewing. If you add this Montage to your project, you
will assign your own media to the rectangular area labeled ‘1’, and your own
text to the title area.
The preview of a Montage in the Library uses numbered rectangles to indicate the
screen locations of the slots for your own media. Your own videos and photos can
be used in these places if you add the Montage to your project. (In many
Montages with multiple slots, the higher-numbered slots are off-screen at the start
of the animation, and can only be observed during preview.)
Montages with titles work especially well in the opening and closing sections of
your movie. The Aerodynamic, Neon, and Tribute themes all include Montages
that you can customize with your own text.
