If you look in the Perspective pane, you’ll now see these elements:

The image sequences include moving objects and other elements that have a noticeable
change in perspective. For everything else—the detailed city background elements—
you’ll use simple still images that must be matched to the animated camera move.

Only the still images will make use of the MultiPlane camera move. The animated image
sequences already have the camera move “baked in,” and so, to avoid a perspective
change on these, you need to lock them to the camera view.

To lock elements to the camera:

1

In the MultiPlane1 parameters, scroll down to the L8 (sunsky) layer, then click the Attach
Layer to Camera button to lock this element to the camera perspective.

2

Repeat the previous step for each of the following layers to lock them to the
camera: L5 (balloons), L4 (zeppelin), L3 (clouds), L2 (city_fg), and L1 (jrunner).
