  • 1.  Adjust Position and Scale Data from a different layer?

    Posted 07-10-2020 17:41

    I have multiple groups that all have graphics placed on different parts of the screen at different sizes. When a producer selects one of the options from a dropdown, the visibility of the group is turned on and the graphic is shown in the size and position that they want. 

    I'd like to be able to have the producer modify the scale and position of the entire group (image, text, text bg) without having to individually publish each item or group. Each scene has about 30 groups that can be selected. 

    My hope is to be able to have a master layer where the position and scale attributes can be altered and it would effect all groups. When I put all of the existing groups into a master group, it screws up the position and scale on most of the graphics.

    Try to set the XYZ coordinates of a freshly created group BEFORE you put any items into it. Hopefully this will keep your gfx from jumping all over after putting them into a group.

    Set the pivot point as you would prefer (scale up from center, keep the left side locked down and scale over to the right, etc.)

    Then publish the scale property for the whole group.  Producer should be able to adjust the scaling in the Sequencer window, and the entire group scales up or down, respective to the pivot point you set in Layout, prior to dropping take item into the Sequencer.
