easier way to do this?
i’m trying to kinda sync this image with my video.
i want the city lights to stay on the building instead of trying to do it step by step in pan/crop area.
is there a easier way to do this?

I understand you want more control over the FX? Yes?

um i guess so, i just wanted to see if there was anyone here that can think of a different easier/less time consuming way to do this

Hi! Please upload a screenshot showing more of the pan/crop area, your shot is cutting off just some of the FX controls.
What controls are you wanted ng to do?

Oh yes, that helps me, thank you.
Can you tell me just what you are controlling in Pan/Crop – it’s not obvious to me.
1] Pan/Crop controls the size and/or position of the Camera’s view.
2] An FX – here that’s your “Starburst” FX – is controlled within its own keyframing.
Please tell me what you controlling in Pan/Crop.
Apologies for not getting the whole picture of what it is you are trying to achieve, but I’m sure we will get a solution.

im controlling the pan/crop, as the video is a pan of the city the picture overlay is the lights on the buildings, i want to somehow keep the overlay picture on the building as it moves, the way i have been doing it is repositioning it in the pan/crop editor for every second of the video but it is very time consuming + doesnt come out very smooth as i have to keep repositioning it manually

i’ve uploaded the video here of what im trying to do, its messy at the moment as i tried to restart it but hope this will give you a idea

Ah, that’s perfect!
1] By using Pan/Crop you essentially have a still that is moving.
2] You have an FX that is not “sticking” to the area of that still that has the highlights.
[I believe I’ve got this correct…] OK, here’s the problem: A still/photo hasn’t a time element. Meaning it doesn’t know it is being moved! And what you have done, without knowing this, is to, logically “move” the fx relating to the still using the p/c control. Yup, messy.
Try this: Render the movement first, then apply the Starbust FX and that SHOULD follow the move/movement of the now “footage” of the cityscape.
Question: Are all the Layers of the Cityscape being controlled by 3D animation on layers under the JPG of the window I’m looking at? If this is so you have a complex fly-by Cityscape that I can’t see at present and my feedback is being hindered by not knowing just what you are doing below on all the Timeline Tracks.
OK, if I am correct, then applying the Starbust FX to a renbdered-out video OR, and this is going dependent on seeing your 3D layout just possibly where you COULD add the FX – more effectively and efficiently than the Pan/Crop.

the starburst effect is just for the image overlaying the video to make the lights look better (the building lights) it has nothing to do with anything, i just want to know how to make the image of the lights pan at the same time as the video. just like it was doing in the video i uploaded

video on the bottom track image on the top track. i want the image to look like its apart of the video and the lights to follow the same place
