I find generators, like color solid and gradient, seem to allow for better performance over using a shape.

Put your image (or generator, which is what I would use) in a 2D group at the root level. 2D groups aren’t affected by cameras (or lights for that matter).

An alternative is to work in FCP – just drag the HD template into an SD timeline and it will automatically scale to fit. Of course it will be letterboxed due to the different aspect ratio so you can leave it like that or increase the scale in the Motion tab (open the clip into the Viewer) and crop off the edges.

Your camera only see a certain default distance in z-space. You can change the distance in the Camera tab of the Inspector.

Try changing the Orientation in the HUD to Orient to Final – that usually fixes it for me.

Try adding a Ramp parameter behavior to the Amplitude parameter in order to ramp it down.

Sure. Drag all the images to the mini-Timeline, and wait a beat. From the menu that pops up, choose Sequential.

Each picture will last for the duration you have set in preferences.

Two steps: add a mask and feather the mask.
