Graphics gone bad in mpg dvd render

[Gilles Gagnon] “Mike, the problem is that the pan/crop will only shrink so much than I have to also use the track motion to shrink some more. A bit of a pain to have to use 2 tools to shrink it.”

You shouldn’t be using Pan/Crop at all since you are not cropping it. Just use Track Motion to make it smaller and place it.

AHhh… Thanks John (and Mike via email). Will do. Only thing is that by doing this I’m affecting all all graphics on this track and need to start keyframing.

But if this is the way it must be done… that’s the way I’ll do it 🙂

So add a new track called “Logo Inset” and don’t put anything else on it. That’s why Vega has unlimited tracks. You can place the lower third tracks into a Group track and collapse it. Optionally, build the lower third in a separate project and nest it into this project as a veg file. Then it will be a single piece of media.

Hi John, yes I always do multitracks. I use lots and try to keep things tidy by not having too many. IE> iv’e kept all my lower thirds on a 2 tracks (grouped). I’m not too fond on multiplying this by x for each logo i may insert.
I’ll stick to key-framing… not so bad.
Thanks again!
