How Lexi Gunvaldson elevates the art of title sequencing.

Lexi Gunvaldson of Imaginary Forces shares how she uses AI-powered Object Mask in Premiere to eliminate the tedious task of rotoscoping and create an action-packed pitch video.

“Rotoscoping is a seriously tedious task. To be able to do it in Premiere at my desktop quickly is insane.”

Step 1: Mask your subject.

Using AI-powered Object Mask, Lexi can isolate the elements she wants to integrate with the type. She started by selecting the boxer and tracking her forward to try out different movements.

Step 2: Isolate the details.

Lexi added more objects to her mask, including the shadows and the boxing bag. After masking them forward she was ready to add the type.

Step 3: Layer in the type.

Lexi had her art director create the titles in Photoshop, and then she brought them into Premiere. She sandwiched the type between the layers for a three-dimensional look.

Step 4: Bring it all together.

Once the type was placed, Lexi adjusted the Opacity to make it look just right. “Object Mask gives me the opportunity to try a lot of things really quickly so that we're not leaving any ideas on the table."
