Tutorial: Compositing Child & Parents

Ok, so because were doing a comic book thing I thought we should all learn this seems like most of you know it already ouo ~ and it's hard to explain but once you know it, it's gonna be real easy, and if you wanna advance and do 3D boxes or 3D rooms or if you have an questions just ask away x3

Step 1: Set up your SV with any amount of videos or pictures or w/e and then insert one layer on top of it

Step 2: This is the magic button that connects all the layers its very important that you use this on all of the layers


Step 3: Ok,so click all the little magic buttons EXCLUDING the top layer, your top layer is you parent layer =o so it looks like this

Step 4: Now you have your parent and your children, so now, all the layers will move as if they were one layer, Move and scale your layers using TRACK MOTION not the event/pan crop thing or w/e XD !!

Make it look something like this or how ever you would like them to be. But just set them up in what ever order you'd like =O don't start zooming in yet

Step 5: Use the track motion on your parent layer (your first layer) to move all the media as if it was glued together XD zoom in scale it down scale it up go crazy with your key frames XDD Important note it's gonna look low quality while making it put the setting on Best (Full) to see what it will render like =o and in the end have something like this:

Great tutorial Jess... very easy to understand.

Really? XD; Well, i'm glad thank you ^-^

can you not use the compositing child thing on text?

oh nvm xD I noticed that I was clicking on the parent's track motion not on 'parent motion'

You can use it with any layer weather theres text media picture w/e O3O All it does is like glue them together I guess XD
