I'm creating a type of lower thirds. I have a container that contains a Picture Layer and Text Layer.
When the container moves, the position of the text is "out of sync" with the Picture Layer.
In the attached basic example the container is moving from right to left to disappear off the screen.
Is there a way I can make the position of the text move in the same position relative to the green image?
Thanks.
Maybe the picture and the text have a significant distance in the Z (depth) direction. This way the parallax (perspective) effect will make them appear disconnected when the camera or the container moves.
What you can do:
1) Move the text layer and the picture layer closer to each other in the Z direction. For example, set the 3rd slider of the POSITION prop of the picture layer to 500 and of the text layer to 499. You might have to change the font size with the FONT SIZE prop after doing this.
2) Switch the camera to the PARALLEL PROJECTION style with the 1st dropdown below the textbox. This completely removes the parallax effect.

Got it! Thanks Michiel. That didn't occur to me. I still have a LOT to learn about BluffTitler.

👍🏻
Please realize that perspective projection and the resulting parallax effect is not BluffTitler specific. Understanding this helps you in any 3D app!
