From the Media Bin drag a clip into the timeline. Personally, I like to use something with vibrant colors to maximize this effect, so I went with a clip already loaded on TriCaster™: China_Opera2.avi. For this tutorial, set up the clip at an angle, so go into the Controls tab and make sure the China_Opera2.avi clip is highlighted so we can edit the properties of the video. Just so you know, almost everything we'll be doing from here on in involves the Control tab. First we'll change the 3D Rotation properties to get a nice, dynamic angle. I went with the following values:

X Angle: 45.00
Y Angle: 12.00
Z Angle: -16.00

Of course, the actual coordinates you use are relevant to whatever you want to see, and you don't need to round them off because this is the only time we'll be messing with 3D Rotation; as far as this tutorial is concerned, we're done with it. This clip is a little big, and to make the effect to look decent, let's size it down a bit. Go to the Size properties and shrunk it down to 60%. Now that the clip is smaller it will probably look better if it was up in the corner for design's sake. The coordinates used to positioned this clip at are:

X Position: 80.00
Y Position: -55.00

Now, go to the Timeline and highlight the China_Opera2.avi clip and choose Copy, then Paste it and position the clip directly below the original. We'll be working on the cloned clip from here on in, so first thing we need to do is make sure that Overlay is turned on so we can see the original clip behind this one.

Since we copied and pasted this clip it retained all of the original properties as you can tell, this saves us some time instead of having to repeat everything we did. However, we want this one to look like a projected image, so first off we need to give the illusion that it's projecting outward. We'll start by disabling the Size property so it reverts to 100.00%, then we'll move it to the left and down a bit, I used these 3D Position cooridinates:

X Position: 10.00
Y Position: -20.00

We can begin to really change the properties of it here and the first thing we need to do is make it transparent looking by going to Layer Fading and turning Alpha down to 160.00 (Fade In and Fade Out are defaulted at 00:00:00.00 and turned on, leave this as is, there's no reason to change them).

If we want a nice, seamless look what we'll need to do is turn on Edges and turn Smooth (%) up to 60.00, now it looks like it's got a nice little ghosting effect. To change it into somewhat of a reflective movie screen effect though we simply need to activate Blur, then change the values of both Blur X and Blur Y to 30.00.

By now it really is beginning to look like something halfway decent, however we could make it appear more vivid. Do this by going to Color Correction and changing the values within, specifically I used the following:

Brightness: 100.00
Contrast: 4.00
Saturation: 4.00
Hue: 0.00

There's one more step left, you could stop now if you want to keep this effect, because the next one will create something very different (although really cool). Turn on Chroma / Luma Keying and enable Chroma Key, for this we'll use a white Key Color, so click on the box adjacent to Key Color and choose white, or you can expand Key Color and change all the color channel values to 255.00. Lastly, we need to modify the rest of the settings left to optimize the effect. For this clip I used the following values:

Key Tolerance: 35.00
Key Smoothness: 10.00
Spill Suppression: 0.00
Key Choke: 5.00

And there you have it! The clip may take a moment to background render, but you can use the Jog feature if you wish to take a quick look at the results. There are a lot of different effects you can get from this one manipulation by changing other properties. Try experimenting with a few of the variables and see what you discover; you could even try adding in multiple projection layers with various properties for an even more complex image.
