Ide like to have a film type strip with 4 areas on it on screen, in each area would be a seperate video running. I'de like to use motion effect to move the film strip onto the screen but all the time keeping the 4 video clips running in each space ("inserted" into the areas using pans and crop and cookie cutter) and moving along with the film strip. Is there an east way to keep the clips and the filmstrip mask moving at the same speed?
hope you cna understand what i mean
cheers

Chienworks even created a strip exactly for this purpose a few months ago, that would probably still be on his site too.

I remember that there was a litlle "mistake" into his creation in that the holes are normally on either sides of the film, not on top and bottom... and he mentionned it so it was not ignorance from him ; )

That was created for 35mm still camera film, which does run horizontally with 24x36mm frames. If you want a vertical one to simulate 16x24mm movie frames ...

oops ... fixed a spelling "mistake" ;)

To answer the original question "How do you do this?": You would use Parent Motion to accomplish this effect. Use the PNG that Kelly provided on one track, and add a separate track for each movie in the frames. Use track motion to scale each movie track so that the movie plays inside the frame. Then parent all the tracks to an empty track and use Parent Motion on that track to move all the child tracks across the screen in unison.
