I have a picture/image. A special area of this image i want to zoom in and further pan from left to right - duration from 10-15 sec. I want to pan across the hole image.

The area wich is zoomed in must fill the film frame (only see the zoomed area pan in in the film). For video PD has "pan and zoom effect", but not for images. Or have i missed it?

I know how to zoom and i know how to pan, but i dont know how to pan the zoomed area? PD`s mobil app has this feature. Tried "sllideshow" but i cant change the duration when used. Surched the forum and tut`s without luck.

Any tips?

Hi Pompel -

The simplest way to do that is using Magic Motion - is that what you've been using? For video (not images) you would have been using Crop & Zoom.

Esssentially, setting the keyframes in Magic Motion & Crop & Zoom is the same.

Hello Ynotfish

I feel so stupid. After reading your replay I tried Magic Motion - and there it was, the pan and zoom effect i was looking for. I have never bothered to check/try what Magic Motion is because I thought it was something like "put a video clip on the timeline and PD does the rest thing".
How on earh could i miss that - i blush like a tomato.

Thank you very much
