    Well, disregard my post on your previous topic, I see now that you figure out how to upload an image.

    Unfortunately I still fail to see the problem. Please try to explain what you’re trying to achieve with that selected image layer.

    The image or camera seems to tilt and skew in the transformed image.

    And? Do you want to know HOW to do that? Or is it a template that you bought and it’s not doing what it supposed to do?

    I can see the difference between the two images. But I still fail to see what is your question.

    The image “transformed image” is from a template video the was on a hard drive that died. I’m trying to roughly recreate it, at least the motion of it.

    I am not sure how else to say it. Do you see the red rectangles on the left? In the transformed image, which is a video, they remain the same shape and size. When I try to re create the motion and change the orientation the top becomes smaller and the bottom larger. Please forgive me, English is my 1st language but you wouldn’t know it from this post. I’ll try to attach video.

    I rendered the old template video into a small segment but it is 74 mb avi. Won’t upload.

    The original segment from the template video can be viewed at https://thetriplettgroup.net/pics/samplevideo.avi

    I would like to duplicate the video

    Well, I’m not sure how you’re trying to transform them now. But that video only has those layers, turned 3d, displaced in the Z axis with a camera pivoting around a null OR a static camera and the layers themselves are rotating around a null. The only transformation that goes is them moving in Z while revealing with opacity. The rest is the perspective that originates from the camera’s FOV from rotating in Y while being slightly slanted in X and Z.

    Thank you. I’ll try again this weekend.

    Have appointments the rest of the day.

    Dang, I guess I’m lost. Moving anything on the Z axis just seems to twist the left side up and down or the right side up and down.

    I’ve tried pinning the camera to a null object as well as trying all of the other layers pinned to the null. I can’t believe this is over my head.

    I have a null object with orientations X12, Y21 and Z4. The problem is that the red rectangles on the left “distort” with the top ones being ok but the bottom ones now appear wider.
