  • Conjoining to Images so they move together

    Posted by Jared Jones on March 19, 2016 at 12:08 am

    I can’t think of what the method is called on Sony Vegas, but I want to be able to join two images together so that when I move one, the other moves with it as if it were one solid object. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I would greatly appreciate it.

    Probably what you mean is “grouping”. To create a group, first select your events. Then enter “g”. Done. Now they will move as one. Conversely, to remove a group, first select the events and then enter “u”.

    No, not grouping. That only helps when moving events around. I want the two images to act as a singular object so that when I decide to animate it l, they both move together. I mean I guess I could just render a picture of the object’s together and use that, it’s called Nesting in Adobe Premier.

    I guess I’m still not clear exactly what you are asking. If you want two images to have the same motion meaning that they move in the exact same way you can easily create the desired motion on one object using keyframes. Once happy, simply copy that event, and do a “paste event attributes” to the 2nd image. The movement of the two images will be the same.

    However, if you mean you want to join two images together and make them move as one image as if they are just a single image, it might be easier to simply do the combining in an image editor like Photoshop. But again, this may not be what you want.

    Perhaps someone familiar with Premier might be able to answer.

    You could try putting the images on two separate tracks and add a parent track above and use its Track Motion to move the children in 2D or 3D space.

    a. Parent Track <— move/animate via Parent Track Motion
    b. Child Track 1 (image 1)
    c. Child Track 2 (image 2)

    Parent Track Motion will allow you to do this. See my tutorials on: Parent Motion Filmstrip
