Multiple PIP’s moving in sync
Whenever I do a montage of multiple PIP’s scrolling across the screen in sync I find it very difficult to make sure they all move at the same rate and maintain the same distance from each other as they move.
Is there a simple method to handle this?

Use Parent Motion and Track Motion as explained by John Rofrano in this tutorial on his site.

Oh my goodness.
You would not believe the hours I have spent trying to do by hand what one simple button (Parent Motion) allows you to do in seconds.
Many, many thanks Mike for showing me that tutorial. Also thanks to John for making it. I feel foolish and relieved at the same time.

Wait, I’m finding a weakness of this method now. The parent motion button only moves images that you can fit into the preview screen. Any other images or parts of images get cut off.
Any suggestions?

I think you missed a step? I just tried it and this works:

Try using Track Motion to set the position of some of your PIP images slightly off screen or completely off screen (as you would need to do if the filmstrip was very long). Now try to use Parent Motion to bring those images on screen and see what happens. For me, the slightly off screen images have the off screen part cut off, and the completely off screen images never appear.
