Pan and Zoom Not Available

[RickC]

As I add new overlays to my project, I am finding that the "Apply Pan & Zoom" checkbox is grayed out and I'm unable to pan and zoom that particular clip. I've tried the process of deleting temp files and renaming the 23.0 folder to 23.0_old and rebooting the computer and this hasn't fixed things. I'm trying to get this video finished this weekend and this is stopping me in my tracks. If I start a new project things work just the way they shold.

I've just figured out a workaround that may allow me to limp along as I complete this. I've copied an overlay (photo) that does have pan and zoom, then used the right click/Replace Clip command to put in the media that I want for the new overlay. When I double click the segment to get to the edit window, I still find that the "Apply Pan & Zoom" checkbox is grayed out, but it's greyed out AND has a checkmark in the box, and I can then open the customize window and add key frames.

Does anyone know what the issue is? I'm at 23.2.0.587 and before this last update, I had a lot of crashes - I saved often and frequently had to restart and "recover previous project". I'm wondering if the issue has something to do with these recovered project files.

Finally, I find that at ./AppData/roaming/ulead systems I have folders for Corel VideoStudio MW (x64), Corel VideoStudio Pro, and Corel VideoStudio Pro (x64) - is there possibly some competition here?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Rick
I would suspect it is a project / clip setting that is causing this problem.
I assume the clip is a Photo, is it only the one clip that this problem is affecting
At the moment it is difficult to imaging what is or is not selected?
Where do you see the "Apply Pan & Zoom" checkbox as there are several options to apply P&Z
Are you able to Zip and attach the VSP to your post, if it is a Photo in question we can replace the clip to check if there is anything amiss with that photo

I realize this is an old thread, but in case it helps out someone else, I had the identical problem in VSP 2021. I've found, after the fact in a just finished project, that certain types of png image files cannot be used for auto pan and zoom. I just tried both jpg ad tif equivalents to the same image, and they both work. Investigating further, the images that don't work are png images that I created in PSP that had a layer with a shadow over a transparent background. Merging the layers and eliminating the transparency made the problem go away, but of course, now that image doesn't have the nice shadow within it. Custom motion worked fine on those pngs, but not auto.

I need to investigate further, as png images created in PSP, even without the transparent background, imported into a different editing program with shifted colors.

As my gramdma used to say, "Child, ain't it always somethin'".
