Expanding or zooming in on videos
[Post New]
Hi all

To keep things short I am looking to make an intro video for my travel videos. I would like to make a video sequence, from say 10 videos clips, where the first video expands or zooms in and in the centre of the first video the 2nd clip appears and zooms/expands to the 3rd clip and so on...



Can anyone explain the best way to do this?



Thanks

Jas

Hi Jas -

After preparing the clips for your opening sequence, trimmed to the same duration, the simplest thing to do is set the scale & opacity keyframes to get the effect you want (i.e. expanding from the centre) - then copy and paste those keyframe attributes onto the other clips.

Timeline set up would be similar to this:



There are screenshots attached showing the keyframe set up in PiP Designer.

Not only, but also, here's a packed example project - https://uscloud01.powercloud.cyberlink.com/share/project/9a002d33-97f6-4d37-b312-e78fc8ab254c - if you want you can copy keyframe attributes from one of the clips and paste to your own, but you would need to readjust timing. Each clip in the project is 10 seconds.

Cheers - Tony

Hi Tony

Thats great!

I did start playing around with it and came up with roughly what you have said with just 3 clips so far and I didnt think to copy/paste the keyframes, so that will save time (which I dont have...)

Thanks and keep up with the informative work!!
