Pan & Zoom of PNG Image ?

[waynegoldring]

What i want to do is apply an overlay on a map which has white lines crossed in the middle to pinpoint a location, i want them to move into location, not be static

I managed what i wanted using a JPG image, white lines, black background, and use the chromakey to remove the black, but that left the lines blurry and not as defined

I saved an image as a PNG with white lines on transparent background, which works great for keeping it all looking crisp and clear, but when i click to do a Pan & Zoom on the image under the Edit / Attribute tabs on the image, the Pan & Zoom cannot be chosen and isnt highlighted

Can it be done on a PNG image or just JPG? or is there another way i am missing ?

Thank you

Yes - it's not the fact that you are using a .png which is the problem - the pan and zoom works the same on .png as jpeg.

What VS does not like is the transparent background of the png.

never mind there is an easy alternative - from the "FX" library drag the 'Video Pan' thumbnail down and drop it on to the transparent png.

now in the options panel - under 'Attributes' - choose 'Customise filter' and you have the same pan and zoom options.
