Long image I want to scroll across screen

PostThu Feb 25, 2021 2:08 am

Not sure if this is the right place - please let me know if I need to move it.

I have a very long image, much longer than the screen length, that I want to slowly scroll across the screen, as narration drones on. The left side of the image will disappear off the screen as new parts of the image appear on the right.

It's probably very simple to do, but I can't figure it out!

Help please?

Drop your long image on the top track. Use X translation control in the inspector to keyframe the start and end positions. Depending on your global scaling settings you may need to also use the Zoom or Scaling in the inspector to make sure your image is not scaled down to fit the screen.

It will not work if one dimension is larger than 16K pixels.

I didn't know that. Fusion is probably not as restrictive.
