Q: How do I add a picture that moves along with the opener "comic book"?

I want to add a picture (as a transition) to the opener called "comic book" on the black part of it .. if you know which one it is it moves so i cant just place a stationary picture because the picture needs to move with the background. Thanks in advance to those who answer, i couldn't figure it out and am getting irritated.

A:

I had not used this,  but from a quick look in FCP X it seems like "Comic Book" is the name of a theme that includes some transitions, one generator, and a few titles.

If we tell us which one specifically you are using, and maybe post a screenshot of what you are seeing, it will be easier to provide helpful assistance.

But, just guessing: you probably just need to put the image as a connected clip *below* the title, and adjust its size if necessary:

That is the way to do it with, for example, the "Push out" title:

Then the image will appear in the black area and move along with the book cover.

    I couldn't find an 'opener' (theme or effect?) called comic book with any black area in it but anyway, if you want to make the position of a still picture in picture move you do this using keyframes.  Full details are given in:  http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.2/#/ver8e3f20ea

    In this case you will probably want to keyframe Position and possibly Scale controls:

    You can them control the position and size until it follows the animation in the main clip.
