Hi Everyone,

I really love this program and I really would like to learn as much as possible, I have a question on still images. I have about 6 pictures and want them to move from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. Meaning one on top of the other... I have a big picture in the middle and I want 3 pictures on the right and 3 pictures on the left of the big picture. And I want them to move up and down, is this possible, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME. THANKS - Rami

I'm not positive this is what you want but because of the limited number of tracks in vms you will need to render to new track several times.put each picture on a different track then use pan and crop to size and position plus animate.
render to new track,. vms makes another clip in media pool. do same for other side
then put pic in middle and both clips you rendered out on other two tracks and combine using pan and crop tool to position your side clips. I hope this has enough info to get you started....

When you mean render to new track, what is it that it is doing exactly? Would that affect any of the other work I have in the project or would it render the entire poject? I didnt know you can animate in this program? Is there anyway I can get a step by step process of this anywhere? Thanks you for your help.

In VMS 6 and above its easy - put the biggie in the bottom track, and each set of pics for the one side above that - you can have up to 4 tracks (i.e 3 tracks for smaller pics). Then use track motion to set the size and position and add transitions if you want them. Render it out to "whatevervideo step 1" or something like that. Drop it into a new project and add the other side. With this method you can have all seven pics changing as you wish. Piece of cake!

p.s. make sure you set the size of the biggie to accomodate the other side
