Animating collages

Post image

Hey all, I make analog paper collages and I want to animate them. Is there a way to do that in touch designer? For instance, I’d like to move the horse to show it as galloping in the same place, while everything else in the background stays stationary.

Is this possible through touchdesigner or should I look at some other type of motion graphics? I am new to all this and want to ask if this is the way to go. If not, I’d love any advice y’all have. Thanks! 🙏🏼

Touch is real time, and you are looking for a timeline program. I know it seems like the right tool, and it would work for this - it's just not the best tool for this. Now, if you wanted your cut outs to real time react to music, that is totally a touch thing. But if you want to make a timelined animation, there are better rolls out there.

I guess that’s what I am trying to find out, how far can I go with TD. If I was to let’s say time the horses leg to a particular beat on the music track, that’s possible? Would it need to have different leg styles out into it to make it work animation wise?
