Panning the scene

[kampmichi]

I want to make a panning shot of my background right now I am using :

Code: Select all

show Class_Lena turned:
            yalign 0.0
            
            on woop:
                linear 3.0 xalign 0.0 ypos 0 
        with dissolve
        
        show class_day:
            xanchor 0.0 yanchor 0.0
            linear 3.0 xalign 0.5 ypos 0
            event woop

to pan into the middle.

The problem is that I have a character standing in the room that stays on their position of the screen.
And I want to have the character move at the same time the screen does to make it look like the only thing moving is the "camera".

The example above doesn't work for solving the problem since the event doesn't leave the alt block so woop in Class_Lena turned never triggers.

Any ideas how I can make it work so that I can move Lena to the left while moving the classroom bg to the right (at the same time)?

I'm a bit confused by the last bit re: Lena moving to the left when bg moves to the right - I thought you want them to move in the same direction to create the camera move effect?

If you wanted to do a camera pan effect with the background and the character lined up together, the easiest thing is probably to do a composite:

You'd have to cheat a little to temporary hide the character and swap the background image with the composite, pan the composite, then replace the character and background without transitions.

Hope that's what you're looking for, I may have misunderstood the question!

Thanks!
A composite does work.

And yeah I want to do a camera move effect.
