I would like to know if PD 16 has incorporated the ease-in/ease-out feature in the Magic Motion tool.

I currently am using PD 14 to make slide slide shows. Unfortunately, version 14 does not allow me to do true Ken Burns effects - that is, accelerate and decelerate (ease-in and ease-out) pan AND zooms.

Yes, I realize I can use the PiP designer to achieve this effect (although version 14 only has ease-in/ease-out for postion and not scale which results in strange P&Z's). It appears that later versions of PD has corrected this issue by including the ease-in/ease-out feature for scale as well as the position in the PiP designer.

My issue with using the PiP designer to generate the P&Z's is that the keyframes are absolute wrt time. If I change the length of the clip during development, which I often need to do, I need to go back and adjust the position of the keyframes. In the Magic Motion tool, the position of the keyframes are relative to the length of the clip therefore are adjusted when the length of the clip is adjusted.

I'm anxiously waiting for this feature to be included in the Magic Motion User Defined option before I upgrade. Hopefully someone can give me the the good news!



Thanks,

Rick
