Recreate an animation with replicator
Hi everyone,
I’m a Motion noob, so I need your help. Can someone tell, if it’s possible to recreate the transition animation shown below with a replicator or any other Motion mechanism in order to get this composition more controllable — by a rig, for example?
In other words, I can’t figure out how to move a source image inside a replicator cell. Seems like currently it’s not possible, but maybe I don’t know some alternative way, besides banal keyframing.

That won’t have been done with a replicator, though technically possible I guess, but rather simply using a drop zone that has been cloned, masked and animated accordingly.

That’s what I do actually. But I’d like to change the number of segments while working with the transition in FCPX. That’s why I wanted to automate the animation — to get it controllable.

You’d probably make different groups, based on numbers of slices, and choose which group is used via a pull-down rig.

Yes, some kind of a set of snapshots. That’s an obvious way. Just thought, maybe there’s some more advanced solution for that. More elegant, if I may say so.

Snapshots would be for different resolutions.

And if it’s transitions that you’re not going to make a lot of adjustments to, like you would in a big template, I’d just make multiple versions. A 4 split, an 8 split, etc. It’s often faster and more visual to just grab a different one from the transitions browser than to open the inspector and pull down an option. More difficult to create in Motion as well.

Not the thing I wanted, but thanks anyway.
