Using the panning on multiple instances

Post by martimiz »

Hi all,
I know I can use the panning tool on multiple instances by selecting a range of frames. But this action always creates new images for every Exposure cell, and there seems to be no setting to prevent that.

So I found (on these forums) that using Image -> Exposure ->Recompute Exposure will then the remove these extra images again. But that feels like such a detour...

Is this really the correct way to proceed or did I miss some setting? And if it is, do I run the risk of losing images when applying this to a large range of frames that I can't easily oversee?

Thanks, Martine

A GEORGE script could be written to do what you want, especially using the tv_Panning command.

You can use FX > Motion > KeyFramer for this and check "Heads only".

Turn off Auto-Break Instance before selecting the range of frames you want to move with the panning tool.

Many thanks for your solutions, guys!

I'm a bit of a beginner, and I haven't mastered George yet, sorry... Both other solutions definitely do the trick. Turning off auto-break (temporarily) seems to be the simplest for now. But it made me look into FX which is also good!

Nice to see that even a simple problem like this can be looked at from so many different angles! :)

You'll find this typical for tvpaint. There are usually many ways that lead to Rome.
