I'm placing objects on a screen and the person is scrolling down on a page and i need to key frame the objects to stay in the same place on the screen it's a image of an x inside of a box I want the x to stay inside the box as the person is scrolling down and eventually the box will go fully upwards and come off screen so it's not visible and I just don't know if there's a faster way to do that kind of keyframing that still looks smooth because I got to do this a lot in one video
I can't think of a simple way to do this if I understand what you are attempting to do. But here is an idea. Save the box image with the checkbox as an independent graphic. I would put the image on a higher layer so it would stay there while the video (I assume it's video capture) would scroll underneath. Then when it gets to the place on the timeline where you want the box to move off the screen, apply a keyframe to make it move. --Jim
@@SharperTurtle here to try to explain this better ruclips.net/video/86OKTjFYPZU/видео.html this is someone I edit for it's a hunger games type thing so whenever someone dies I put a red x on the screen crossing out their picture and I just want to know if there is a better way / more efficient way or faster to keyframe those x's because there's a lot of them per video
I looked at your clip and see what you are trying to do. Since you are scrolling the screen at different speeds there is no way for the program to anticipate when you will use the X and how it should move to match the scrolling in the screen. So the only way you can manipulate that graphic in a way that looks good is to keyframe it manually. I don't see a better alternative at the moment. --Jim
Nice video, easy to understand. Do have one comment though. You say there are 2 ways to add key frames, there are actually 3 ways. Right click and add key frame. ;-)
I'm still learning and figured that one out on my own when I was lost and trying to figure out how to insert the key frames ha ha. Your vids are nice and clear and you do point out and explain things others haven't. Appreciate your vids, thanks.
Glad to have you as part of this learning community. Let me know if you encounter any issues I haven't address yet. Here is a link to a clickable list of tutorials that covers lessons through 2018. www.sharperturtle.com/PDF/PDL.pdf --Jim
I was thinking about finding an effect that causes the flood waters to rise in the passenger compartment as you increased the rain. But I decided instead to add a mountain of snow over time with the snow effect. Lol
It would be great to find a way to make the driver and their clothing look wet as the rain increases. I'm sure it could be done with color director and keyframing, but it would be more work than it's worth. When I see fake snow on TV there usually is not an attempt to make it 100% accurate for the people in the scene. They are looking to create a mood and move on. The mountain of snow would be easier, as you suggest, Chris! --Jim
Jim! Your tip on minimizing the f/x timeline worked perfectly! Thanks a million! Bill
Bill,
Glad to help you out! --Jim
Thanks for that tutorial. You clarified many things for me.
Special effects are great tools. I hope you enjoy growing in your use of them.
That's a great stuff for sure.😉
Thanks mate.

Love learning from others. Thanks for pointing out the 3rd option. :) --Jim
