[MacDV] 3D imaging

[Dominion Market Research]

Don,

I've never tried the technique you describe, but this is my 
understanding of how you can do it with Photoshop and Final Cut 
Espress or Studio.

Create your image in Photoshop with the various image elements you 
want to move on different layers. Save the image as a Photoshop file. 
Import into FCE or FCP and the layers will come in as different 
tracks. You can then add effects or motion via keyframes to each 
layer individually.

As I say, I've never done this myself, so I may be passing on bogus 
advice. I hope not because I'd like to use the same effect sometime.
