Pro X2 - Question about zooming with still images

dalemccl · Post by **dalemccl** » Mon Nov 24, 2008 11:10 pm

I have managed to do a simple zoom-in on still images with Pro X2. However the zoom starts immediately. That is, for a still with a duration of 6 seconds, the zoom-in starts at zero seconds. I would like to delay the zoom so the full image is displayed for a couple seconds before the zoom-in starts. Is there a way to do that?

You have to customize the pan & zoom. The default setting has two key frames. One at the start, set at 112%, and one at the end, set at 146%

You need to change the first key frame to 100%. If you want to gradually zoom in you can let it as is. If you want it at 100% at the start and still be at 100% at two seconds, then you need to add a key frame at the two second mark and also make that 100%.

Thanks, I understand now. That worked well.
