When using the magic motion designer to zoom, pan, etc., is there a way to have PD12 snap to the entire image? I spend a lot of time trying to make the selection box fit to the image boundaries. Google search no help. Thanks!

I think I know what you're talking about, do not have a perfect automatic adjustment.
What I do is disable, Snap To Reference Lines.
Not perfect but can fit.

Hi PDuser97031B -

I think I understand what you mean. This is a feature that has been requested over the last few years, but is yet to be implemented.

When you open Magic Motion > Motion Designer, you'd like the 1st keyframe to be set to full zoom out, by default. The other requested feature is to be able to save custom motion paths in Motion Designer - that would overcome your issue too.

This feature has been implemented in Video Crop - & I agree - it saves a mountain of time!

Cheers - Tony

There are several places were "fitting to frame" is tedious. I guess for now disabling "snap to" is the best option. Thanks! Previously known as PDuser97031 (had to create a new user after changing email address)
