Quote: By zoom do you mean the speed. If so, it kind of goes like this.
A PIP object that's 10 seconds for example has to travel from keyframe 1 to the last keyframe in those 10 seconds. So the further apart the keyframes are the faster it will have to go. Alternatively if you have a very short distance over a long period of time the object will move slowly to take a hypothetical 10 seconds to finish that path. If you have two close keyframes that cover a small amount of space the object will go slow between those two and speed p again after that.

As for the size, you can use a grid for more precise resizing, but its mostly just trying out one size playing it back and changing it if you need to.

Hope this helped!

You bet it did Clancy. I now have information that I didn't have before, so...

Hi Tony & Clancy-

Now that I can't seem to locate the video which I referred to, I'll mention that it's eerily similar to your (Tony's) little project.

I'll experiment this weekend and look into some keyframes tuts.

Thank you both of you.

EDIT" Hmmmm. I have a total of 4 keyframes and the 'speed' of the effect changes dramatically throughout the course of the effect. How do I control the 'zoom' factor more precisely than just eyeballing it? Is that what's causing the 'title' to change speed?

Thanks for all your help. I'm slowly getting better.

Wow!

Very nice Tony. You explain a lot in very few words.

Thank you.

Hi all-

Noob here and I've been watching the tutorial vids on YouTube that you guys have made. One effect caught my eye and this was a title that came from off the screen, entered from the right, and then zoomed in, making it appear to pretty much fly at me.

Where/how do I add that?

I've pretty much ruled out a standard title, seeing no real motion option and magic motion won't work on a title either.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I, as always, appreciate any insight.

Hi all--

Noob here to PD and am having a blast...however....I need some experience in a hurry.

I have a 5 minute 720x480 clip littered with 26 subtitles. To add dialogue, I need to email the clip repeatedly, making sure that my editing syncs with the translation.

I basically need to know what settings would facilitate the communication process. I'd LIKE to shrink the frame size to 320x240 and butcher the audio, all in an effort to make a very small but viewable 'preview' of what I've done without chopping the video length. I'd like to keep the 5 minutes intact. Because of the many settings in the PRODUCE tab, I was hoping an experienced PD might clue me in as I'm overwhelmed by too many choices of which I lack sufficient knowledge of.

If I wanted to make the smallest file possible, what settings would you suggest I render with to simply show my progress? I'm not concerned with quality, just logistics.

Thanks all.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Anyway of importing text into a title?
