Hi All,

It's been well over a year since I used PD, but the program continued to update. I recently went into the program and couldn't find most of the features that were there the last time I used it. For instance, I couldn't set up a simple pan of a photo or adjust the panning speed.

I'm not sure how to proceed. Is there a way to reinstall a previous more user friendly PD? Or do I need to study a brand new user manual?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi daddymadethis1971 -

PDR hasn't changed that much in 12 months, or even longer.

To set up a controlled pan on a photo, you'd use either Magic Motion or PiP Designer. The panning speed will be set by (a) the photo duration & (b) the keyframes you set.

This was made using PDR10, & it's still done pretty much the same way in current versions.

Robert - for some reason I can't get to that link you posted. It keeps timing out.

Cheers - Tony
