How To Animate A Sequence
Hello…
I’m playing around with Premiere Pro (I’m a long-time Vegas Pro user) and I haven’t been able to figure out how to animate a whole sequence.
I’m working on a video wall, where there is a 6×6 grid of videos.
Only 5×5 of the videos are visible and 1 column and row are off-screen.
The animation is to have that video wall slide to where the opposite 1 column and row are off-screen.I couldn’t figure out a way to open the sequence in the Effect Control window.
I tried right-clicking on the sequence, in the Project window, and Make Sequence From Clip.
I tried selecting all the clips, in the Timeline window, and Nesting them.
I tried selecting all the clips, in the Timeline window, and Make Subclip.In all those attempts, it created a sequence that I could use as a clip, in a new sequence, that I could animate.
The problem was that, when I moved the position of the clip (the original sequence), the off-screen row and column stayed invisible.
I will note that I was able to do this, quite easily, in Vegas Pro.
I just created an extra track above the others and set it as a Compositing Parent (by selecting the other tracks and making them Compositing Children).
Then, I was able to animate the parent track with Parent Motion.I also tried right-clicking the clips, in the Timeline window, and Group.
Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to do anything other than link them for sliding around the timeline.So, how’s a guy supposed to do this in Premiere Pro?
Thanks for any assistance you can give…
