Good Evening -

This is my first post, so I am hoping I will be excused any mistakes. I am using the Advanced version of WP, and have a problem trying to apply (in concept) one keyframe to more than one image.

For example, lets say I have 2 images, each on a different track (I think).
Image 1 is taken inside a room looking out of the window (made transparent), with lots of the room interior still visible.
Image 2 is a diffent view outside that I want to appear in the window area that I made transparent. As long as the images remain stationary, I have no problem.

But say I now want to zoom, pan and rotate into the scene outside so that the view outside is perfectly synchronised with the edges of the window how do I do that?

Is there a way I can link the 2 images (grouping?), and then apply a keyframe to the combined image ? I thought of Screen frames, but they appear fixed.

In Pictures to EXE the "Parent and Child" concept can be used, and I then apply the keyframes to the Parent, and the child is moved with the parent.

I have faith that Wings can do this - please do not dissappoint me.

(PS Copying and pasting control tracks will not work, as the images are already differently zoomed)

Hello Joy

If I am understanding you correctly, you can just finish your animation in one Picture. Then copy it and place it into a second track, depending of what you want to achive, ecactly under or over the first animated Picture. Now drag your second image into this new object. Ready.

Hi there Klaus - I understand that the method you are suggesting will give me exactly the same keyframe control on both images.

Will your method allow one image to be additionally positioned with an additional keyframe so that I get the part of the image I want showing throught the window ?

Try it.
