pan and zoom FX - how do you alter

Post by samsara »

I would like to do a slow zoom into the center of my picture of the ocean, birds-eye-view (pan off) and would like to slow the zoom and also go so close that the ocean goes out of focus with the idea of a transition beneath the surface. Is it possible to slow the zoom and continue to zoom in as far as I'd like? I've tried in the options panel with no success, it seem stuck on the same speed and ends the zoom when the program wants, not when I want. Thanks.

Hello

When you open the options panel and choose the 'attributes' tab you then need to click on "Customise Filter" and a window will open as shown below - - at each end of the timeline are little diamonds - these are the 'keyframes' you must set each one - by default when the window opens the first one is active so set the options there for size of zoom and move the centre cross to set position. Now click on the end diamond and set options for the end - if you want a change of direction etc. in the middle add more key frames.

If the zoom goes to fast - give it more time - extend your photo - if you are going from full screen to a postage stamp in 2 seconds of course it will go fast - give it 30 minutes and it will move at a snails pace.
