Animate a Title in a Skyline Image (Working in

different Layers)

In this Workshop we explain how to create an animtion on a Title (Scrolling Tex) in a skyline

(working in different layers).

Note:

Use an appropriate Background image and cut out previously a skyscraper using a Editing

Software (such as Adobe Photoshop or Gimp (free)). Make sure that the background of this

graphic is transparent (save it as *.tif-file with an Alpha-Key). In the workshop, the background

(the complete skyline) merges with the graphic (skyscraper) and a scrolling text which will be

animated and will be covered by the skyscraper.

Create a new project in Heroglyph V4.

First of all, import a background image including the complete skyline.

Open My Computer and adopt it via Drag & Drop in Preview. Then adjust the Size of the image

in the Preview.

Now insert a further Timeline object in the Timeline via right click New/New Timeline object.

Open again My Computer and adopt the image including the cut-out skyscraper via Drag &

Drop in the preview. Then adapt the size of the image to the preview.
