Round Video???

[rdebolt]

I posted this on PC, but thought that I would ask here too!

I've been using video in my display for a few years now, but this year I am working on a Wayne Kremer style wreath for my video. How do you render your video in a round format? I thought about just keeping it square, but I am afraid that too much light will bleed through the wreath. Any ideas?

Thanks,

You should be able to use a mask in your editing program to cover the areas you want to darken.  I did this for an animated clock face for a Christmas play a couple of years ago. It will take some trial and error to get the mask sized correctly. Depending on how dark your monitor/tv renders black it should take care of any bleeding.
