  • Keyframing a nest of multiple clips

    Posted by Daren Seifert on January 25, 2013 at 10:31 pm

    I have about 30 clips in a nest. It’s a stop motion star.
    I’m trying to slowly zoom out of the star without having to manually go in and change each tiny half second clip.
    I want to start at scale:10 and end up around 7, then I will repeat this on the next nest from 7 to 5, and so on and so fourth till the morphing star goes out of view. at the highest point there are 11 different clips going at once.

    This can easily turn a whole days work into minutes if it is possible.
    I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Yes you can keyframe the nest. Are you asking how? In the motion tab in the viewer. Option+double click the nest in the sequence to load it into the viewer for keyframing.

    Sorry man I got one more question pertaining to this. I keyframed and everything is nice and smooth as it zooms out. The only thing is when it was at full scale some of the star was off the page. I was hoping as it zoomed out these parts would show, but this isn’t the case. Is there anyway to expand the edge of the clip as the scale is going down?
