  • Setting a motion position for an entire track

    Posted by Mike Van veen on November 19, 2012 at 6:38 pm

    Hi all,

    I’m producing a video with powerpoint slides embedded beside the video, changing at certain points. For every slide, I have to manually adjust the position so it is beside the video. Is there a way to set a position for an entire track, so when the slide is dragged in it automatically is positioned correctly?

    Thanks,

    Filters only apply to clips, not to whole tracks (except the audio tracks, in which you can apply a filter to a whole track with the audio mixer), so the answer is No, you can´t. But you can set the Motion effect to one clip, copy his scale and position parameters and paste to all the others. To do this, firs set the position and scale in one clip (powerpoint slide), then select this clip, copy it, select all the others and “paste special”, so only the attibutes will be pasted to all them.

    Regards

    Hey…

    you could always select the elements on the track and nest them.

    then you’d only have to make one adjustment for the entire track.

    You could place the same properly positioned slide at each position and then just replace it with the right slide (opt drag) so it picks up all the attributes of the slide it’s replacing.

    Or just highlight and copy the position properties from the effects browser and paste (cmd V) on the clips.
