I've been a VideoStudio fan since it was called Ulead Media Studio 2.5. That may be a record of some sort.
BUT... there's something I've never understood.
There's a Motion | Customize Motion property when you right-click a clip. I know how to use that.
There's also a Video Pan and Zoom effect. I have used that too.
The two interfaces look very similar. Maybe they're the same under the covers. If so, please confirm that.
I have always suspected that they use different re-scaling methods. Enlarge both up to 200% of the original size, and which one will be sharper?
Thanks!

Re: Difference between Customize Motion and Video Pan and Zoom
Hi toweyb
and welcome to the forums
As far as I know they are separate effects doing a similar job.
Advanced Motion has a lot more features, we can use opacity to make the clip transparent, add borders, rotate. It has been available for a few years now and is certainly worth mastering, its my goto in preference to P&Z.
If you add a clip to the overlay track, double click opens the Options Panel _ Edit Tab (depends on VS version)
I see Basic Motion, also a check box for Advanced Motion aka Customised Motion, same beast different name. Yes we can right click the clip for Motion – Customised Motion to avoid the options panel.
From Options Panel there is another option for P&Z a little different to Video P&Z
I use Customise Motion, I find it easier to use even with the additional features, keyframing can be a little tricky, a bit of practice and it gets easier.
As for sharpness, that depends on your clip size, project size and the amount you zoom in.
Any zoom will reduce the quality to some degree, I would suspect both options would have the same effect on sharpness.
