  • How do I link 2 (or more) events together to pan at the same time?

    Posted by April Raine on June 21, 2014 at 1:45 am

    I am trying to zoom (pan in) on a background image, then slide in another image (fade in) then have both of them zoomed out. However, I can’t seem to pan both at the same time. I’ve tried to group them, but then when I do the pan effect, it doesn’t effect both, only the one. I’ve spent the last 4 hours looking online and watching a ton of videos and can’t find anything about it. I hope someone here might know.

    Thanks.

    You only need to use the Track motion feature and change
    it to 3D Source to achieve that easily. And you can
    additionally use a Parent/Child track for further customization.

    I tried that, it doesn’t let me manipulate both images (one is an image with alpha) at once, to pan in on both and out of both. However, I FINALLY found somewhere on Sony’s site that said that (well for Pro 10 at least) the Pan/Crop tool is event level only and you can’t link two events and pan into both at the same time. 🙁 I’ll have to figure out another way of doing what I want to do. Thanks for trying.

    Track Motion, as Steve said.
    Another way – nested project

    If both images are ~the same size and you want the pan/crop to be the same on both images, then you could:

    1. Create a nested project
    2. Let’s say the images are 3240 x 2160 … change the project properties (dimensions) to be 3840 x 2160
    3. Put both images in

    4. Put the nested project (1) into your parent project; parent project properties are 1920 x 1080
    5. Put p/c events on the nested event

    You should be able to “zoom in” to 1620 x 1080 and “zoom out” to 3240 x 2160 (you should have black bars on each side).
