Beautiful stuff Dave! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now although I’m not on the level of you and Roland. I’ll be looking for the tut on AEtuts. Thanks again!

Although I appreciate your help I still get clouds that are black. Not sure if this has to do with the alpha as I have enabled the sun in the sky object’s basic tab and I have also tried dragging it into the sky object’s Volumetric Clouds tab. I’m trying to make a simple animation moving the camera up from clouds to reveal a logo with clouds around it. I keep bumping into changing the alpha option in the sky object but I can’t seem to find it nor am i sure if that’s what I need. I am new at C4D and have watched some tuts on the basics but the dark clouds continue to hang over my project as if a sign. thanks again.

Thank you very much

Thanks Grant,
I am already using classic color burn on the image and I have C&P the position of my BG wall to the image so those two are sticking together throughout the clip. I tried using the burn and burnt film plug-in to have the image burn onto the BG as the camera gets closer to the wall but it’s still not gettting me what I want. I will continue to fiddle with it and once again I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Josh M

Thanks Ann,
That had already been tried and what happens is that when you try to scale it up to fit the size you want it degrades the quality oif the original. I was shown the answer to my question by another editor that I know locally. What you do is scale the first video to the size you desire. Create the movement across the screen with the desired keyframes on the original. Insert your second clip above the first clip and copy and paste attributes from the first clip into the second clip. Slide your second clip back in the timeline so that its staggered above the original. Adjust the distance between the two clips as you want them to appear moving across the screen by adjusting the time the second clip starts in the video 2 slot. Do this to any other video clips in the same fashion above your other clips and you end up with three video clips moving in unison across the screen. This was the effect I was trying to do. Thanks for everyones help. I hope I explained what I was trying to do and hopefully I explained the answer clearly enough as well.

Vince thanks a lot you not only helped me but also my boss who’s a 20 year veteran in the business who is trying to embrace new technology. Thanks again!

Thanks Eddie,
I was trying to avoid having to keyframe all three videos seperately and was hoping I could just nest and keyframe just the nested sequence across the screen. I ended up finding a solution that I should’ve had earlier and that was just using after effects to do what I wanted. It seems there isn’t an easy way in Premiere to grab all three video tracks and move them together across the screen. If anyone does know a way I’d love to know it. Thanks again Eddie

I do apologize for my lack of clarity. I have three clips of video that I have scaled down and put side by side by side across the middle of the screen. What I am attempting to do is have all three video clips move across the screen in unison from right to left (similiar to a ticker on CNN but not as fast) starting off screen on the right and moving almost off screen to the left. What I am having a problem with is getting the size of videos I want to move across the screen. I either put all three videos into a sequence, scale them down to fit within the 720×480 and then try and increase the size of the sequence once its nested. this just kills the video quality. Or I try and make them the size I want ( a little smaller then the screen) which of course they all dont fit onto the screen, nest the sequence and try and move them. What happens here is that since all three videos aren’t fitting on the original sequence screen, when I move this nested sequence it cuts off the video (right side) that isn’t visible as I move it. I had read another post about using the transform filter and I seem to be closer but I’m still not there. LOL If this was Final Cut I would be done I just can’t seem to get this in Premiere. Hope this is a little more clear. I hope. Thanks for the help.
