I am attempting to create an educational video that uses many images that appear (in various ways) and then disappear (again in various ways). I would like to know how I can manage so many images, especially when they appear (e.g. fade in), resize, reposition, and disappear (e.g. move offstage). I got pretty good at this several years ago but have lost all that memory and don’t have the original files anymore.
Sort of like a slide show but with more action going on. I plan to do everything manually. My question is, should I import all my images at first or wait until I need them? Thanks
The content of a layer image stays the same from the beginning to the end of the animation.
Only the values of its properties change.
So just create the layer image with Opacity 0 at the beginning (waypoints type constant) and animate afterwards (in animation mode).
You can also play with the Switch layer in case of mutually exclusive layers
