  • Pan and zoom multiple tracks

    Posted by Maria Maronska on January 12, 2013 at 6:51 pm

    I have a video on the bottom track. Above there are two more tracks, both containing generated media (arrows, titles etc). Clips on the two generated media tracks are panned and zoomed, so that they make sense in relation to the video track.

    I would like to add a pan and zoom effect to all three tracks as a whole. Is there a way to do it? Apart from the obvious, which is rendering all tracks and then making pan and zoom on the rendered movie in a new project.

    You could:

    a. Put the tracks in a separate .veg and nest it. Add the P/C keyframes on the nested object in the parent .veg

    …or…

    b. Make all the tracks a compositing child. Put a solid white event (of the appropriate length) on the parent track. Change the parent’s compositing mode to Multiply. Add the P/C keyframes to the white event in the parent track.

    I know (a) will work. I think (b) will. Best.

    I would follow Tsyon’s nested project method. This is the easiest way.

    Thanks! Solution (b) works, too! since my projects are very simple I prefere (b) so far.
