Hi,

Im new with premiere pro, and i've been stuck for two days trying to do like a "infinite scroll" with the same background and multiple images. 
My idea is to create some sort of "inifnite, up to X images" scroll with images sliding to one side, with zooms in and out. But i cant manage to do this

Hi @Ernest37571606m5s2,

Thanks for the message. I've done this.

 

  1. Import the images into an Essential Graphic layer. Go to Graphics & Titles > New Layer > From File, select the files, and click Import.
  2. Select the second layer. Change the X values for each image to be equidistant. Work your way down the stack of images. A calculator and/or a spreadsheet might help you quickly calculate these values.
  3. Select the layers once you have them equidistant and laid out in the Program Monitor.
  4. Zoom the Program Monitor to 10% (See the "Select Zoom Level" controls) to see the "offstage" area and to view the layers lined up.
  5. Click the Toggle Animation for Position. It looks like a cross in the Essential Graphics panel. A Position keyframe is set for each layer.
  6. Move the playhead to the end of the animation.
  7. Drag the leading layer through the Program Monitor until all the layers have moved through it
  8. Playback the animation (note: you may need to render).

    Please come back with any questions.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for the reply! I assume this is for after effects no?

Yes, I use the same technique there - unless someone else has ideas. Perhaps it could be done with the Automation Blocks tools, but I'm not sure. @Mathias Moehl may have an idea!

 

Thanks,

Might pull this off in Premiere but it will involve a lot of work.

After Effects is usually the way to go.
