pan and zoom feature vs10+ and ownership of Ulead

[petrea]

I am using vs 10 plus. A question about pan & zoom.
Having a problem controlling - the commands in vs 9 allowed me to pause the zoom - can you do this in the new version?
Also - I heard that correll bought out ulead? Do you think this will change the software as far as Photo Impact? Just curious.
Thanks
Pete

I don't see a pause (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but you could insert key frames and have it not change for a period.

As a Canadian I'm happy that Corel is making this move as they are a canadian company but they do have a history of screwing up good products. Let's hope they don't this time.

Hello petrea,

Guy is correct, you will have to create the pause effect by inserting an additional keyframe with the same attributes, spaced according to the length of pause you desire. When adding the second keyframe to create the pause, right click on the previous keyframe and choose "copy", then right click on the second keyframe of the pause and choose "paste". This way, the exact same attributes (crosshair location and zoom level) of the first pause keyframe matches the second pause keyframe, and you have a motionless pause.

Thanks for your help - will try the solution.

As ULead vs 11 plus does not have the VERY USEFUL feature of being able to pause at start, middle or end of a zoom, I have found that to achieve this I have to return to my old Ulead vs 9, make the zoom and pauses as I wish them to be, save it as a video-clip, and then insert the video-clip into my new project on VideoStudio 11 plus. A BIG NUISANCE but it works. It is a shame that the feature is not included in the 11 plus version.

Did you read blplhp's post above? VS11 follows VS10, which did away with the relatively primitive controls in VS9 for pan and zoom. The new way in fact gives you far more control than that in VS9 once you have mastered the key frame aspect.

Yes it is a shame..NOT.. What VS11 (and VS10) uses to accomplish this is Keyframes. Keyframes are what the professional type programs use. Keyframes are multitudes better then how it was done in VS9.

To learn about using Keyframes turn in the manual to page #66.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I'll have to try KEYFRAMES. I'm not familiar with them yet, but will keep trying.
