Help with video template

HI, I have Studio Platinum 13. I would like to do a video slide show that has three horizontal rows with 5 photos per row that scroll across the screen. Top row scrolls photos to the right, middle to the left and bottom to the right. I can't figure out how to do it. Is there a template that I could use? Here is an example:

@DuWayne-Layton Hi, that's not an easy one -

For every image that is visible on screen there has to be a track.

  • Here I have 4 images/tracks
  • I added Picture in Picture to the first track/image, reduced the size & then keyframed it so it travels across the screen left to right.
  • I then pasted that effect to the other tracks.
  • I offset each event so it travelled across the screen slightly later than the one before, ie. behind it.

There's other ways of doing this using things like Track motion, Push transitions etc but each would still require a track for each image that is seen on screen at one time. (as one image leaves the screen & another joins from the other side those images could be on the same track)

Imagine how many tracks you'd need for the amount of images in your picture, not impossible but would take a bit of work. .

A long image could be created but it would have to be longer than this pic below, long like a film strip..

I don't know of an individual fx that would do something like this, I'd be interested to know if there is..

This is the same one, I show the PinP moving.

If you create one that scrolls across the screen you can render that out as ProRes so it has a transparent background, swap/replace the images & render that out, repeat as necessary & create a project from the renders.

Or copy & paste those tracks below & use Track Motion to group them so you can move the up the screen above the other/s.

Or Save project & reload those projects as nests,, if VMs13 has that..

No unfortunately VMS13 didn't have nests.

As @Gid has explained it is possible but involves a lot of work and you may need a track for each picture.
