Quote I recently downloaded the phone app. Before I started making a video, I looked at most of the tutorials. One of them was showing you how to pan and zoom on a photo.

When I started making my video, I decided to do a pan and zoom on a few photos. Well, when I went to the options location for photos, I didnt see that option.

So am I doing something wrong or is this feature not available anymore? Why would there be tutorials on a feature that doesn't exist? I have decided to pay for the app for 3 months, thought it might have been a pay for only feature. Nope, still isn't there.

Thank you for any insight.

Hi,
Not sure why you have no option.

Here's the screencaps from the mobile version on an LG phone.

I can confirm the option is also available on the app on my Chromebook.

Hi,

I just realized that I should mention what phone I'm using. I am using my Samsung Galaxy S7, if that makes a difference.


Thanks guys!

I noticed that your photos are on the PiP tracks, with none on the main track. That is the difference between the two screen shots. Can you try moving the photo to the top track and then see if those features are there? I know that some features are unavailable on the PiP tracks.

Your right. I have my very first photo on the main track. The screenshot below shows that the options are there if you use the main track.

Thank you for that!

But now I have a new dilemma. When I try to move anything to the main track it won't let me. I tapped on a photo and tried to drag it there, nope no luck. When I open my photo files and tried to drag a photo to the main track, nope no luck.

Why did my very first photo go to the main track, but all the others did not and will not?

So confusing.

Thanks for any and all help.

Hi,

I googled my problem and a YouTube video popped up on editing video on the app. I realized my mistake. The man was talking about the buttons and what they do.

Anyway, he showed the layer button. I was hitting the layer option when adding video and photos! Not the one he picked to add his video. That's why all my stuff was being added to the PiP tracks and not the main track.

I experimented and it worked! Though it looks like I have to kind of redo my whole video now. I am able to add video and a photo from the correct button option to the main track, but it still won't let me drag a photo or video from one of the PiP tracks to the main one. But that's okay! Some family and friends have asked me to add some of their photos to the video. So I was planning on redoing it anyway. Lol


Thank you guys so much for your help!

I was about to answer your points.

I did an investigation and I had noticed that your photos were on the overlay track.

If you have used similar programs on a laptop/desktop then you would be used to drag and drop. However, this Android version does not seem to support that. You choose either a primary video/photo or an overlay. The add button adds the item to the requisite track.

Another user was trying to find transitions and this is different from the desktop version.

Another question must be, why can you not do these edits on overlays. You could ask Cyberlink if this is important to you.
