Thanks. That was easier than I had remembered it. I was thinking it was a multi-step process.

I tried the dragging method with great sucess. This will make things much easier. I will try cntrl + Alt + \ next time.

[Steve Morris]

Wow! That was too simple. I tried everything but that.

Thanks

Does Encore do this? I can not find anywhere in the program about how to do it.

What Justin is referring to is:

It would have been a lot easier to put your video into the billboard before swinging the camera around (if you are the creator of the short clip). You would not need to motion track it if you made the clip.

I am assuming you found the clip somewhere?

You are going to have a tough time motion tracking it since it does not all start within view, and part of it goes out of view at the end. You can still do it by guessing manually. There is a command to tell the tracker to continue on its present course. I am not sure of the name, or wether it would work in this case.

I am stuck again. This time I got a little farther.

at:

A LITTLE DUPLICATION

When I add the expression: thisComp.layer(2).text.sourceText
The 3 turns to a T.
Is this right? I am copying and pasting the expressions, so there should be no sytax error

When I paste the expression for the color charactersistics the light blue T becomes red.

When I paste the Position expression, the T dissapears

Initial tracking slider does not affect anything that I can tell.

I stopped there.

I think I found it. It is the Anchor Point inside the Tranform twirl down. Is that right?

I am getting lost at this point: Quote below from tutorial in the “Setting the Stage” section

This will allow us to globally change the anchor point, scale and/or color of our text from the Controls null in the Guide_A comp.

Anchor Point: adjust the x and y values to center the anchor point on the first character.

Position: add the following expression:

comp(“Guide_A”).layer(“Txt_Guide”).position

I am not sure which comp he is in and which layer. There are several places where ther are anchor points. I can not change the coordinates of the anchor point which has the expression attached.
