I would like to change the Alien: Covenant title to just say Covenant. Also, I would like to remove the title scene of Prometheus and add the title to a different scene. I'm using premiere pro and so far have figured out how to mask out the letters. For the shots with david, the background shifts subtly up and down so I copied the frame before the letters fade in and shifted it up and down in photoshop to match the masked shots and used it as a background layer (I believe this is what you call a "clean plate"). For the space shots, I think I'll see what photoshop's content aware fill comes up with to create a clean plate.
Any advice for doing this better/easier?
The next step will be adding the new title "Covenant". I suppose I could just copy/paste the existing covenant fade in and center align it, but the letters feel too small. Maybe scale them up? or should I figure out how to recreate the effect myself and find the same/similar font? I've seen tutorials on how to cross dissolve text to get a fade in or color shift so I think I could work it out.
This seems like something other editors have probably done though so I'm hoping for some advice.
Here's a clip of how far I currently am with masking out the original title: [pw: fanedit]
