Examples Using Motion Settings
The following two examples demonstrate how you can use motion settings to integrate a
group of clips together to create a single, multilayered broadcast design shot.
Example 1: Using Motion Settings to Create a Multiclip Layout
In the first example, you’ll create a layered interview segment using the Scale, Rotation,
and Center Point parameters. This example assumes you’ve already created a new
sequence and opened it in the Timeline.
Note: This example uses a sequence created for DV clips, with a frame size of 720 x 480.
1 Open a clip into the Viewer that you want to use as a background layer (against which
all other composited layers are to appear), then edit this clip into the Timeline or
Canvas onto track V1.
Note: If you don’t use a background layer (such as a graphic, video clip, or Final Cut Pro
generator clip), all layered clips appear against black by default.
2 Set the sequence In and Out points to be the duration of this background clip (choose
Mark > Mark Clip or press X).
