    Good day,

    I am just a novice user thinking of doing a photo montage where I have a collection of various-sized scattered photos flying towards the screen. Just would like to use this as a slideshow instead of the usual fading between still photos.

    I understand that this may require resizing and keyframing of each photo, but i have no idea how to do this. I basically need 6-8 small pictures to move and slowly become larger – giving the illusion that it is moving toward you. Also would like to know if this can be looped with more pictures.

    Before I trouble you for any advice or instructions, would there be a template that can be downloaded, as this may just be a one off?

    Thanking you in advance for your time, and any assistance provided.

    Michael

    There’s more than a template. We have an extension plug-in at VASST that will do it all for you and it’s called ScatterShot 3D. Watch the video on the product page and it will show you what it can do and how it works.

    If you just want flat 2D pictures flowing toward you on the screen, that can be accomplished with the MotoFoto function in VASST Ultimate S Pro.

    If you don’t want to purchase a plug-in, you need to use Track Motion to position your photographs in space and then you need to use Parent Composite Motion to move the entire set of tracks in 3D space. You can probably figure this out by watching the ScatterShot 3D video.

    Another option is Montage Magic.

    Oh yea, almost forgot about your Montage Magic Edward. That’s another good tool.
