  • photo mosaic ?? how to do it best ?

    Posted by Zip-edit on January 23, 2006 at 11:52 pm

    -Newbie to FCP but veteran on other editers-
    the concept-
    80 pictures total
    Client wants photo to appear almost full screen then “push back into a “slot”. This repeats many times till the entire screen is a mosaic of photos.
    Photos are to go these slots at random places as opposed to in order, left to right.

    I have a finished “photo grid” where they are all supposed to end up. and I have all photos individually.

    Is having a large full mask that reveals the grid photo after the real one fly’s in the way to go
    or do we need 82 tracks then track motion all of them.

    please tell me there is an easier way to do this
    Thoughts ??

    PS: all of them have to happen in a 3 minute window. possible overlapping “fly-ins”

    Personally, I think you’d be nuts to use 82 vision layers!!

    A mask would be a good idea as you suggest as you would only ever need a couple of tracks at any given moment.

    Alternatively, it might be a great time to start learning After Effects…! :o)
