Here's a series of steps to bring more attention to the car's logo and add more pizzazz:
1. | Create a new comp named Letter Box that uses the same comp preset you've been using, with Duration set to 10;00 seconds. |
2. | Drag the Master Comp from the Project window into the Letter Box Timeline, starting at time 0;00. |
3. | Use the Rectangular Mask tool in Add mode to mask over the Master Comp in a format that looks like a 16:9 letterbox. |
4. | Apply the Stroke effect to the mask. |
5. | Use the new Text Animation Presets to animate titles in the top and bottom black areas of the screen, above and below the new stroke lines. |
6. | Use Opacity keyframes to create a 15-frame fade up of the Master Comp layer. |
