  sync pan motion in photo and overlay text?

  Posted by Kent Clark on October 31, 2009 at 1:51 am

  I have some still photos that have some pan motion. I also have some text overlaying the photos. Is there a way to match the photo pan motion in the text? I’ve been able to get a reasonable match with trial and error but I have dozens of photos and don’t want to spend the time on trial and error for all of them.

  Use Parent Motion

  1] Insert an EXTRA Track Above your Text:

  Track1 New EMPTY Track
  Track2 Text
  Track3 Still

  2] Make T2 and T3 Children to T1

  3] Now, for example, Use Parent Motion “move” the still + text to pan across the screen, say, Right to Left.

  I’m sure you will want to get more complex than this, but it DOES demonstrate just how to “sync” Text with a Still and have them fly in close formation.

  If you want the VEG (VP9c here!) just holla!

  Graham, thanks for the help. Parent/child motion is something I haven’t used or even thought about up until now.
