1. Re: Animating 2 png files over a video sequence ?
Bill Hunt Apr 16, 2011 10:20 AM (in response to David Zeno)David,
Unless I have missed something, your Copy/Paste would be easiest. I would animate, as is necessary (just the two initial PNG's), lasso both, Ctrl+C, then make sure that Video Track is Targeted, hit End, then Ctrl+V, End, Ctrl+V, and so on.
Good luck, and maybe their is an "automation" feature that I am just unaware of.

JSS1138 Apr 16, 2011 11:40 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)I'd agree. The Copy/Paste method is the only way to do this. (But I'm not sure just how much easier you could make it. Hit CTRL-C to copy, then CTRL-V over and over to paste. Pretty simple.)

Bill Hunt Apr 16, 2011 11:50 AM (in response to JSS1138)Well, much will depend on the layout of one's keyboard, but with End, Ctrl+V, one could keep their fingers poised over Ctrl+V, and use the other hand to hit End. Just a matter of personal preferences.

David Zeno Apr 17, 2011 11:21 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)Hi Bill,
your answer was the correct one so I've marked it as "correct answer" I guess I just thought there was a faster way.
As for hitting the "end" button, there isn't even a need. once you start pasting using the Ctrl-V keyboard combo, the frames just keep inserting on the time line in the correct manner and will just keep do that until you stop pressing Ctrl-V
I've learned that once you have a few Ctrl-V's done, you should go back and now highlight that new bunch of frames that have been added, so for example
you add the first 2 frames to the time line, now copy them to memory, and do Ctrl-V say 10 times, now you have a total of 20 frames, now re-highlight those 20, and now Ctrl-V will now add 20 frames at a time, instead of just the inital 2. Repeat that again, if you want to now do 40 frames per Ctrl-V and once it gets to that amount, the time line can fill up quite fast.
Well, glad I asked, I can't be the only one out there that has done this, so glad I was on the right track.
thanks to all who chimed in, it's appreciated.
Dave.
