Whats the best way to build a large LiveMotion file?
Use components! We pieced together some mega-files for Peter Bagge’s “Shut-ins” cartoons for adobe.com. How did we do it? Drag and drop, baybee! Check out the intro … http://www.adobe.com/motion/features/shutins/main.html Each “scene” was created as a separate LIV file. We got each of the scenes working properly, then dragged ‘n dropped them into a new LIV container. Using this method, each “scene” comes in as a separate group. (Much easier to manage with groups, lemmetellya!) We used Load Movie behaviors to swap in soundtracks and bring in the flipbook. That’s explained here: http://www.adobe.com/motion/features/shutins/howto.
