Quote Hi

I want to do a obviouse edit regarding getting the next clip to match the pan and crop position from the last clip but right clicking the keys shows no such copy command, am I missing somthing or is this a major flaw for such a thing to be missing?

I also noticed that in Pan and zoom editor there is no reset to full frame, this is needed if your last frame of a clip needs to match the first full frame?

Another issue iv found is when I want to do a stop and pause frame using the snapshot to clip, that clip does not include any pan or zoom on that clip so it suddenly jumps out of position in the shot as the screen shot is fully zoomed out? Again Im looking how to copy the pan zoom keys to the image to they match?

Thanks, Shaun.

Hi Shaun.

I too have found this and hope that its a newbie overlook as to me this is also essential, you must be able to carry the last position of the crop or zoom last key to the next clip for continuality and smooth transition from one clip to another. Maybe there is another way to do a extended frame effect as like you pointed out the snap shot does not keep the pan and zoom within the snapshot so it wont match the last or next frame. In Camtasia you just right click and choose extend frame.

I had a bit of a look into it and what your after is found in the Action Camera Centre.

1: Select the clip, and go to tools and select Action Camera entre.
2: In there your see a tab named Effect.
3: Use the pan zoom and chosen effects such as freeze frame.
4: You gain access to the clip like a normal clip right click on clip and select show individual clips.

How you would match keys from a zoom of another clip Im not sure as the copy keys for some things seem o be missing.

PS: The Pan and zoom is not the same as the Tools Pan and Zoom, its a momentary effect and will not let you set a key at the beginning, you cant move keys, you cant copy, or duplicate the last key.

Another issue Iv found is Action Camera Centre knocks out all fix and enhance edits you may have added so you will need to select the option to show individual clips to apply fix and enhance edits from another clip. Even then there is a serious oversight, the still freeze image will not have the fix and enhance colour corrections applied so the moment it goes into freeze frame your colour changes are gone?

Still, your left with the issue of copying keys for pan, zoom room from one clip to the next. Im still new to this software and while it seems there are some very nice features its starting to feel like additional rooms where not integrated into the core app as they seem a little disjointed, one feature set seems to not work well with another, your start to see these pop ups stating this, or that will be cancled if you use this or that feature.

From the perspective of using a rather old app Moviewplus X6 this is the opposite.

The easiest way to have the clip start and end at full frame is to set keyframes at the start and end as soon as you open the clip in the tool. That way, no matter what kinds of zooms are used you'll always pull back to full frame as the clip ends.

One work around I found is while your editing your first segment in pan zoom mode, click on your last key point. On the screen it shows all the parameters for that key. It has the X-Y position, scale, and rotation. Take a picture or write them down. You can manually enter them on your next video segment zoom.
