100% of Stage

[j-coe]

Hi all

I was hoping someone can help me a with a calculation.

I have three mc which take up a percentage of stage width. In total all the mc's cover the total full-sized screen.

e.g 1 mc takes up 40% of the stage and the other 2 mc's take up the other 60%

the 1 mc will get wider on certain occasions and i want the other two to size equally to allow this to hapen. So if 1 mc increases to 80% the other to will scale to 10 % each.

any ideas are appreciated.

Hi
I'll use the clips' names as variables for the percent of screen they take up.

100=mc1+mc2+mc3

because mc2=mc3 all the time you can substitute out mc3

100=mc1+mc2+mc2
100=mc1+2*mc2

Then you can solve for mc2 to find the equation you need

mc2=50-.5*mc1

And mc2=mc3 so

mc3=50-.5*mc1

And there are your two equations!
