I'd like to try and make this kind of effect: https://vimeo.com/102412299 a dolly zoom time lapse.

It uses a tool in After Effects called Warp Stabilizer. Has anyone tried the same thing in PD and how did you do it?

Just video stabilizer or any other crop and zoom involved? Schenker XMG P506 15.6" Pro

Hi,

I watched that video and the user was taking photos, not shooting video. So the video stabilizer in PowerDirector won't work for this. Are you taking photos as well? If yes...then the crop and zoom feature would be the best bet...but it is all up to you to manually make the effect look correct.

This is a classic horror movie technique that you can create when shooting video by zooming in or out (on the subject), while tracking backward/forward. I never tried to duplicate it myself, but it sure would be fun to try. Maybe in my next shoot...hmmmm.

@Jets2011 I was planning on taking pictures and then turning them into a timelapse video. That was my thinking anyway. I will likely have to test a few methods. Thanks for your thoughts on it. Schenker XMG P506 15.6" Pro
