How to acheive this effect in Videostudio

[DisneyRob]

I am working on a project, and what I need to do is have a image start in the middle of the frame, and "grow" from being tiny to where it covers the middle of the frame, and then shrinks back out of sight. How is this done in Corel VideoStudio ?

put the clip in the OVERLAY track in the timeline - right click on it - choose "Customise Motion" - when the module opens add key frames and set them so that it start as small as you want - in the position you want - then grows as big as you want in the position you want before shrinking again - all at the exact times that you want them to happen

I thank you for the help, I got the effect I want. Trouble is when the overlay is growing and shrinking, it loses some of its "crispness". The figure seems to be "pixelated" not a lot, but enough to be noticeable. Once the animation has stopped, the figure regains it's original crispness. How can this be fixed?

Hi

It may be the pixelization only shows when previewing the project. Project playback does not always show full quality.

First go to Settings – Preferences – Edit tab and set Best for the “resample quality” option, that may show the effect in a better light.

Rendering the section to a new video file should improve things, does that help.

Run a test using a short project.

Tried what you suggested, no dice, things still look "wonky" . It only seems to occur on my one file. The others seem okay. I am using a PNG file format. Tried some other formats, and I can not get rid of the back ground of the characters even though they are transparent. What I am attempting to do is put comic book characters in an established back ground. For some reason, the one just ssort of breaks up when the animation is run. And then regains it's crispness at the end of the animation.

Hi

Are you using animated png or a still image?
Either way if you have other files that work ok then you have to suspect the single file, maybe the way it has been saved / converted to png
