Changing the Center for Text

Postby jonnyD » Tue Apr 14, 2015 11:35 am

I'm playing with a simple animated movement of text over a background. To start as the first key frame I want the Sample Text situated where it is in the screenshot at that relative size to the background. The movement I want to create is simply a small zoom-in which would create the effect of the text getting slightly larger. The original center is at Point 1. I can't, for the life of me, figure out to how to re-establish the center of the text to Point 2 which would then allow me to zoom in to the text using Point 2 as the new center.

Well, you're on the right track. It's as simple as moving the playhead down the Video Event FX timeline and then repositioning the center and size of the F box.

But it's hard to give you specifics without knowing the specs of your keyframes.

Shouldn't the center point for both F box/keyframes be the same? If so, why not open up the Details view of Pan/Crop and work the digital positions?

I just figured it out. I used the Event Pan/Crop tool first. I put the Preset aspect ratio to what I wanted (16:9) which centered the text in the frame and then did the slight zoom-in with the key frames to make the text appear that it grows slightly bigger. THEN I used the Track Motion tool (!!) to reposition the text into the upper-left quadrant of the entire frame where I want it to be relative to the football on the background layer. ::CLAP:
