swapping photos in your sequence
Actually, I just found out the answer of that question, but I can seem to figure out how you change the order of the photos on your sequence. If you have 4 photos in your sequence 1,2,3,4 and before you export it to a qt file, you need to swap 2 and 3, how do you swap them in your motion sequence? I do have many more photos than 4, but it just to get the idea.
Thanks,

Drag them on your timeline.

I tried that but when I drag them it only overwrites the picture I need to swap it with. It doesn’t work unless there’s a key a need to hold before releasing the mouse to swap them and not overwrite it.

Yes it does work- if the photos are on their own tracks of course.

Noah,
Let me make sure I understand you, if you have a bunch of photos in your timeline, 1-2-3-4-5-6….and you want to swap 5 and 4 resulting in a new order, 1-2-3-5-4-6….you are telling me that if I drag 5 over 4 it will do the swap. And I tried that a few times and what it does is overwrites 4 resulting in a new order, 1-2-3-5-black hole-6.
So, unless you had select a preference option somewhere, by default is not working the way you’re describing it if I am understanding correctly.
Can you describe the way you do it?

Is everyone on the same track or group? You can place each photo in a different level.

Pedro, the idea they are trying to tell you is to build a timeline with a different layer for each photo.
6 photos = 6 layers. Your final timeline would start out looking like a staircase, where layer 1’s content ends, layer 2’s contents start, and so on. Then if you want to swap 2 and 6, you simply drag 2s content down its section to where 6 starts, and you drag 6’s content the other way to where 2 used to start.I would also suggest playing with drop zones. Depending your your layout, a different drop zone for each photo can be easily changed from 1 photo to another.
You could also go into your media managment tab, and call up photo 2, and tell the program to use the file for photo 6 here instead.
Hope this helps.
