Group images???
I’m trying to figure out how I can group different images into 1 group so that they all move as if they are 1 image.
I have 7 .jpg’s of different letters that I am going to use to spell my name, Charles, and I want to group them as 1 so that I can have them all properly aligned together. I need to be able to move across the canvas as 1 image. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Two options:
1. Make a new comp that’s wide enough to fit all of them, line them up in that comp properly, then drop that comp into your main comp to move it around.
2. Us parenting to move them all together. ie, if you’re spelling “Steve” you would put S in and line it up where you want, then T, E, V, and E lined up in relation to S, and then use the parent pickwhip to connect T, E, V, and E to S, so that wherever you move the S, the rest will follow.Good luck!

In fact if you are using parenting I think it would be easier/cleaner to parent them all to one letter… so instead of parenting T to S, E to T and so on, just parent ‘TEVE’ all to the ‘s’ and just control the S.
Even better, create a null object and parent them ALL to that, then you can also keyframe the letters individually in case you want some variation/tweaking.
