easier way to do this?

[Graham Bernard]

Solo just that track and render it out. Apply the FX. Done.

I’m assuming you know you would need to render to a Format that has a transparent background, otherwise you’d blank the lower tracks. Yes?

Oh yes… The easiest way is to make this Event part of a 3D Parent Track and use that as the moving section.

Graham, I believe what Ellie is trying to do is map a static image onto a moving video. To do this in an easer way would require Motion Tracking software that tracks perspective. Those are expensive like Boris Continuum Complete or Mocha Pro.

The cheap way is the hard way which is to move frame by frame and keyframe the motion in Pan/Crop. There is no short cut. You need more keyframes to keep everything in sync.

Here is a tutorial on using Match Move in Boris Continuum Complete but that doesn’t track perspective and the buildings are moving not only sideways but away into the distance which requires perspective tracking.

Hi John. How about my last suggestion? Have the Still and the FX as Children to a Parent Track and then 3D that Parent track? But otherwise the power of Boris would need to be used.

That would only work if both tracks were being animated. They are not. His lower track is a movie. That requires motion tracing software.
