Vernon:
Thank you so much for your help. I've really been able to move further along with this and I think that I almost have it. Perhaps you could answer one more question for me (or anyone out there I have my color photo on top of the picture reel and I keyframe it to move to the right off the reel so now you can see both. If I want the picture reel to move to the left do I keyframe that as well using position? I was trying this out yesterday and for some reason it didn't look right to me.
Thanks everyone for your help!
