Framer
Framer quickly and easily performs a fundamental motion graphics design task: drawing boxes and
frames around objects on the screen. While drawing boxes isnt difficult, it can be a tedious, time-con-
suming chore. This effect takes care of it with two mouse clicks.
Corner 1 -
positions the upper-left corner of the frame.
Corner 2 -
positions the lower-right corner of the frame.
Frame Width -
controls the thickness of the line making up the frame.
Frame Color -
determines the color of the frame. You can change it using the eyedropper or the swatch.
Source Masking: Act as Mask -
masks the source layer into the frame line itself. If you set the frame width to a high number, you
can create textured picture frames this way.
The figure below shows Framer applied to a wood image, which is above the sunset apple image in the
composite window. Checking Act as Mask drops out the middle and creates a wooden picture frame
