Ok thanks I’ll play with it and see if I can get it to work the way I want it too.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks guys the pan behind trick worked. I’ll try the cntl L also. I haven’t used the pan behind tool yet I didn’t know what it’s for. I guess it’s time to read about it now!!

Thanks again,
James

I figured it out. It was pretty silly. It defaults to bring it in as footage or like a series of stills when you bring in a .png file. All I had to do was bring it in as a single image. Ok sorry for the wasted post that was pretty silly! 🙁

Ok thanks I’ll try the expression thing to loop and see how that goes. Im trying to apply one in the backgrounds folder called Apparition. It’s pretty neet. Kind of a floating around spookey look.

Ok thanks Mike! I see yes there are allot of key frames set. Hopefully i can get it to play longer or maybe repeat itself somehow.

Thanks,

Hi thanks for the response Pat and yes it works to do it that way. I only have a few seconds that need stabilization so the 1 frame at a time works fine for it. I seem to be having another problems though that I’m not sure how to handel. The curve it leaves on the screen for the track points looks pretty smooth except where the jumps are but then at the end of the tracking it looks like for some reason it’s moving the clip way out of position in my compositon. Thing is theres no camera shake there because I tracked it from a few frames before the shake to a few frames after so it’s in a smooth area. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jim

Wow thanks I didnt’ know that as I haven’t really moved into that area yet. I can’t wait to get home and try it!

Thanks for the response,

LOL yes it makes sense. I wish it were like that in real life! I did sort of figure that out by accident.

Ok the Null Object idea works! Is there a way to set key frames for the parent or should I use a 2nd Null Object if I want it to move in a different way later down the time line?

Thanks,
Jim

Ok. I ‘think’ I’m on the right track. Im going to try it and see when i’m finished with the first main comp.

Thanks again for the help!
