To accentuate the antique look of the still video clip you
created in
Using Frame Hold to create
photographic effects, we'll add a photo border to the clip using Adobe
Title Designer. For a more dramatic effect we'll also show you how to
simultaneously fly both the photo border and the video clip off the screen in
real time.

it, choose Window > Effect Controls. |
