  • Controlling multiple video tiles according to grid positions

    Posted by Eran Amir on July 12, 2013 at 12:57 pm

    Hello everybody!

    I am looking for an efficient way to control a grid of video clips.
    I want to create a grid using, say, 1000 small video clips,
    and “trigger” each clip according to a different animation on top.

    Here is an example of something similar to what I am looking to acheive:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da_9kfzgLLc

    The main difference is that instead of just hiding/revealing the layer underneath,
    I want to start each small video clip from beginning to end.

    I would be happy to hear any tips or techniques that might help,
    Or what kind of keywords I should be googling (hadn’t had any luck so far).

    Thanks,
    Eran.

    What’s the timecode of the effect in that video?

    To have a video turn on and off depending on a layer above is going to take some expressions, so you might want to post this question in the Expressions Forum
