    Posted by Jeff Walker on August 17, 2005 at 9:29 am

    I’m looking to simulate the 9 boxes of video ass seen in the opening of the Brady Bunch. I’m aware I could go through and create the 9 boxes by hand but I’m wondering if anyonw knows of any FCP plug-ins that might make life easier. I have one from AmaFX called GridFollow but it creates 9 boxes all containing the same clip and there doesn’t seem to be a way to allow for a different video source for each box.

    Any ideas??? Thanks Guys!

    The only way I know of is to have 9 layers and to resize and move each one to where you want it.

    And now for my snarky comment: Who said editing was easy?

    Dang it…we need the ability to be able to edit and delete our posts. I HATE posting duplicates when my computer decides to hiccup.

    [Shane Ross] “Who said editing was easy?”

    Just ask those who created the ORIGINAL Brady Bunch open multi-split on FILM!

    I wonder how many generations of passes had to go through the optical printer.

    Plus, figuring the TIMING and positions of all the actors when they individually shot the actors.

    This was done the first time when the show was an uncertain quantity.
    Lots of expensive work on speculation.

    But look how its become a part of pop culture and an editing TEMPLATE.

    Scale and position the first box, then copy and paste attributes on the other 8 boxes and re-position. should take 2 minutes. Not sure how difficult that really is.

    Barathon,

    Take a look at these two plugins, Lyrics’s PanZoomPro and Digital Heaven’s DHbox, they are all about picture in picture effects.
