import images bigger than screen

Post by hellofilms »

If you import an image that is bigger than your project size the areas outside the image will be cut so if you try to reposition it does not work.
If you want to import a bigger image and reposition do you need to use the camera in the project or do you do it in another way?

Open image in separate project, use KeyFramer FX in original project.

Or: open in new project, then crop.

Create a project , HD resolution 1920 x 1080 . Now open the Image Library and import your large image(s) into the Image Library. Let's say your large image is 5760 x 3240.

Now go to the FX Stack > Motion > Keyframer. In the Keyframer select Image Library as the Source . Select the large image from the Image Library and use the Keyframer X-Y-Z coordinates to adjust the size and position of the image to fit within the 1920 x 1080 frame. https://www.tvpaint.com/doc/tvp11/index ... ps-library
