You know how in some scenes the camera looks like its moving away? or zooming out? When I try to do it I get
a black border around the video like its getting smaller. How do I it correctly? I made an example. In the video I held the camera still and tried to pan back in PD with keyframes but as you can see there are those borders.

Now I know I could just move back and do it that way but the thing is that my YouTube channel is about cartoons (anime) and sometimes there are still scenes and I just want to pan back to a better angle I guess. Is this possible?

That test is a good demo.

If you start the zoom out from a already zoomed in shot, you would have more frame to zoom within.

You start more in the center of the image.

Be careful to not show the black borders. Then you should have the effect you want. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.
