images circling globe

[rmsscans]

I need to animate a series of images circling a globe. I know that I can use fx to move a single image across the screen, but can I create multiple images moving behind it on the same path?

Not so much. You can try to use the New Blue FX, PiP filter. That was Corel's answer to moving/motion paths. The problem comes with trying to chroma-key out several layers, so everything looks natural, instead of having a box with a circle in it if you know what I mean.

For something like this, I would suggest composing it using a third party program, like Blender, or even Adobe After Effects. This would even fall outside of Xara 3D or Bluff Titler, unless you have a program that can create 3D models Bluff Titler will recognize.

Basically the whole concept is with motion paths, and the ability to scale along that path. These types of 3D motion uses both, to create the illusion. With VS you need to use such a convoluted mixture of filters that you may get frustrated trying to achieve it.
