Chapter 6 Working with Containers
240
All containers preserve the spatial relationship between the objects within it as you
reposition the container. You can choose whether the tracks in the container overlap based on
their position in the timeline or whether they overlap based on their depths in 3D space.
Working with 3D Containers
3D container tracks are used to group shape tracks together and apply transformations to all
of the shapes at the same time. They let you combine objects with multiple pivot points and
create effects quickly because you do not have to manually group objects.
The 3D container has its own transformation track, therefore, tracks nested within the
container are affected by the container’s transformation as well as the shape or object’s own
transformation.
Any parameter adjustment that you make on the 3D container level will affect all objects
nested within the container equally. For example, when you scale or rotate the 3D Container
track, all images are scaled and rotated as well, yet the spatial relationship between the
tracks remain constant.
