I have been very frustrated doing panning and zooming in Key Frame. Is there another feature I should be using?

For instance, I have a 15 second clip of a photograph. during the clip I want to zoom in slightly and pan slightly.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is a long project and it seems frought with aggita. Ray Faiola

I am not sure what you mean with key framing. But:

With the image selected, open the pan and zoom facility. Select one of the presets that comes closer to what you want, or select custom. Then open the manual adjustments. I am using this often and it is a matter of seconds to get to the right settings. (After you have got the hang of it).

Where is the pan and zoom facility?

Thanks so much for the reply!

Once the image is selected, look in the Tools tab above the timeline.

Thanks so much! Works like a charm. I don't know how I missed this during all the years I've used PD. This will make my reconstruction project a breeze!

Good show, Ray!

From time to time, PD amazes me when I find out of yet another feature. It has helped me to look at this forum, but also at the good tutorials.
I also sometime read the manual, in which most of the goodies are mentioned. But it is more fun to work with PD itself and to look at tutorials.
Have fun.
