How to zoom and pan with FCP

Hi,
I am trying to create some artificial zooming with FCP. I do this by setting key frames in the motion tab, although I want to take things a step further and pan into the new zoomed shot.
When I just move the wireframe to the new position, it gives the desired result at the end of the clip, but of course, then I play from the beginning, the clip is no longer zoomed in and as the clip is off center, there is black around the edges.
How do I key-frame this move?
For more clarity, basically I am zooming into an interview, but when I zoom to the desired level (in this case scale to 140 - I am using 720x1080 HD footage from the EX1 35mbs, so it hopefully keep it's quality even at that scale) - when I am at full zoom, the clients head is cut off by the top of the picture because the zoom is zooming into the center of the picture.

Is this a video shot that you are using?
any time you move the center point, you have to adjust the scale correspondingly.

How to zoom and pan with Edge animate?

Hi,
I have been trying to make a project with Edge Animate, it is all about an image, but I want to be able to zoom and pan the image. Can you please send me an example if there is any around? or Can you explain me how to zoom and pan with Edge Animate?
Thanks,
Guasch

I am having this same issue! I am searching through forums on what tools to use to create a good zoom and pan on an image that contains hyperlinks an other things, developed in Adobe Edge Animate.
So far, here are some solutions I have come across:
http://craigfrancis.github.io/zoomify/
http://zynga.github.io/scroller/demo/dom.html
These two seem to be the closest solutions to what I'm looking for. Now I just have to integrate the javascript into my adobe ege animate composition. Hopefully that won't be too hard. Are there any suggestions from the adobe community on how to do this?

Zoom and pan with Ken Burns and then stop and hold the image

Hi all,
I'd like to zoom and pan on a photo with Ken Burns and then stop at the "end" -cropping and hold the image there on my project for a few seconds. Is this possible?

I found a new solution.
I select the ready "Ken Burnsed" photoclip and ctrl-click and choose copy, and then paste the exactly same kind of clip right behind the original. Then i go to the 'cropping, ken burns and rotation'- window, make shure that the start box is on the same crop as the ending of the original clip ( you can switch between start and end crops from the arrow thingy in the corner of the box) , and click crop. There I have the righty cropped stillframe right behind of the original.
I don't know if this is the right method, but it works thanks for everyone for helping, and if you find a better way, please post. I have this thread subscribed.

How to Zoom and Pan in the program window.

Hi,
I have been using scale to adjust larger than 4K image sequences so they fit 1080 and 4K output. I want to be able to zoom in and pan/tilt the program window so I can see the edges of the program window close up, so I can see to make a fine adjustment of scale. I want to be able to adjust scale precisely so I don't lose a single pixel, or include any black around the edges of the images. Of course I can't see the edges close up enough while looking at the entire image, to really see if I have scaled too much or too little. I know how to zoom in the program window, but how do I pan over to the side and bottom edges ? Without being able to pan I instantly lose the edges of the frame when I zoom in the program window.

Perhaps this will help it make sense to you.
I am taking tme lapse sequences shot on a DSLR and putting them onto Blu Ray disks for viewing. I also outputted a 4K file to try to play at Best Buy on a 4K television. The images are 4928 X 3280 pixels, which is larger than 4K, and much larger than 1080. One of the advantages of using these large images directly and not reducing them in Photoshop first is that I can have a time lapse zoom, which is very difficult to achieve otherwise. I can also pan and tilt. Another advantage is not having to reduce thousands of images three times, once for 1080, once for 4K, and once for stills..
I usually work with 1080 video, and animated 1080 still sequences from Maya, or standard definition video. This is the my first opportunity to work with higher resolutions.
Generally, for my first evaluation of these DSLR stills, i wanted to show some of them fully without cutting any off. This means there is a black border onthe sides because the DSLR stills are 2:3 instead of 9:16. For this I have used a scale of 32.6% for 1080, and 66% for 4K. For some sequences i wanted to just completely fill the frame. For this I used 38.9% for 1080, and 77.9% for 4K.
My assumption is that Premier should do scaling as well as Photoshop does, and so I have let Premier do the work, saving me a lot of extra work. First i take all the original images and process them from raw to tiff, for the day exposures. Then i process them again for the night exposures. Then i bring them into either my 1080 project, or my 4K project. I put the night pictures above the day pictures on a separate video track. I use opacity to dissolve from the day to night processed images as night falls inthe scene.
Two sequences I shot are of the night sky during the recent meteor shower. After watchign the video I see i caught three instances of persistent meteor trails distorting in the sky. I was able to zoom in quite a bit, and track the position, because the sequence is of greater resolution than the native 1080 format. It gives me a second change at composition, or the ability to zoom in on something interesting that happens in the scene.
It seems to me that the only reason i would want to first process the images down to 1080 in Photoshp, would be if the quality of the scaling was higher in Photoshop.
When i adjust the scale, I am adjusting the scale of an image that is 4928 X 3280, in the program monitor which is probably only well less than 1000 pixels on my screen. It would be nice if I could not only zoom, but pan in the program window, so I could more accurately adjust scale by looking at the edges. So if there is no other way to do this visually, I am suggesting adding the ability to pan and tilt in the program monitor to accomplish this. Sure I could figure out the scale mathematically. I could still end up adding a row of black pixels, or cutting off a row of image pixels, due to some error such as rounding errors, or starting with 1 instead of zero, or vice versa.

Zoom and pan square map, how to modify for landscape ?

Seeking a little help here. Easy for coders but I have no
coding knowledge.
I am using a freeware zoom and pan flash file
http://www.flashkit.com/search.php?term=zoom&cat=movies&per=10&field=Description&page=4
image viewer with proper panning by Erin Brewer.
Also found by going to flash kit website and searching on the
word zoom then going to page 4, if the link fails to take you
there.
There is not much to this , it has some action script. What
do I need to alter in the script to allow this to show the entire
map to start with, and allow zoom and pan to all parts of the map ?
I need this to work for A4 proportioned maps landscape. The
author says:- … Very easy to modify for you needs.
The download is of a square one. With an 18x25 shape map
replacing the square one I find it pans right then stops before
reaching maps right hand side. Map is landscape 18 x 25 and it gets
stuck 4.3 units from the far right.
Can anyone take a look at it and indicate what needs modding

Zoom and Pan for Adobe Premiere Elements 12?

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I would like to zoom and pan into a video, but without that slow zoom in/out effect. Basically, I want it like a quick cut close up then back to the original size. I've been trying but nothing seems to work. There's that slow zoom in/out every time I try to get a quick cut in and a quick cut out. Does anyone have any ideas to get this? Thanks

nbovell94
Please check into the details of the Premiere Elements 12 Pan and Zoom Tool. I think that you may be overlooking your opportunities for what you want with that tool, namely, the "Hold" set and the "Pan Time" set and combination there of.
Please see
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Pan and zoom to create video-like effect
Please review and consider and then we can discuss this further if necessary.
Thanks.

I have footage that needs to be green screened. One of the cameras zoomed and panned, is there anyway to lock foreground and background so the motion is consistent

I shot two cameras for green screen editing but one of the operators zoomed and panned so the key is good but when the camera zooms it looks like the subjects are floating, any idea how to synchronize the foreground to background

I think you will need the camera tracker effect in AfterEffects, It would be best to ask in their forum.

Using mouse wheel to zoom and pan

I was wondering if there would be a way to make a javascript that would load at Photoshop's startup that would allow the user to zoom in and out using the mouse wheel (instead of using it for scrolling), and to use that same mouse wheel as a third button (when you push on the mouse wheel) or any third button on a three button mouse to pan in your image. I'm a 3ds max user and I love the way the navigation work in that software so it'd be great to be able to do that for Photoshop and Illustrator and get rid of those useless key shortcuts that we need to use to zoom and pan.
For the pan fonction, I guess if there was a way to simply say "when the third mouse button is pressed, press the space button, until the mouse button is released" it could work. But then it would force the panning to stop when the mouse goes offscreen, unlike in 3ds max where you can pan for whatever distance you want, even if you have the loop throught the screen ten times.
For the zoom function, if scolling up could simply "push" the keyboard shortcuts to zoom in/ zoom out it could work, but I don't know if that's possible. And then we'd have to disable the scrolling up and down in the document.
Anyways, if anyone has any ideas about that let me know! I've been looking for that for such a long time!

Not sure if I am misreading your post, but there is an option in the preferences that allows you to choose Zoom With Scroll Wheel. With this option active you hold the ALT key to scroll.
My Logitech mouse has a tilt wheel on it and this works fine in Photoshop. It doesn't loop through the screen but it does pan left and right with no problem. On this mouse the scroll wheel can also be pressed, and can be programmed to almost any key, I use for double click.
Forgive me if I've misunderstood your question.

Zoom and pan a UITableView

Consider my entire tableview the view I want to zoom and pan. I put an outer view around the table view but could not get both zoom and pan to work. I can get zoom to work but it always leaves me on the top left with no panning abilities. I can get zoom and pan to work when I disable scrolling on the UITableView (which then only shows me one page)
Any ideas? I'm thinking I need to implement my own view instead of using table view?

I think that just answered my question. I had not thought of it like that. If I have panning, I don't need scrolling. Because scrolling is accomplished via a zoom and pan.

Zoom and Pan

Hi,
This is a weird question.
Inside a 3dannotation window, Zoom is activated when press down right button and Pan when left and right buttons are pressed down.
Can be these two functions be asigned to keyboard keys?
Lets say when I press key number 1 Zoom is activated and when I press key number 2 Pan is activated.
The goal is to view a 3dpdf in a touchscreen monitor. There are some on-screen Keyboards applicattion that allows you to create and personalize buttons so zoom and pan would be available on a touchscreen monitor.
Thank you

Plugins for Adobe Reader are not a trivial thing, not least because you need a license key from Adobe to sign the code before it'll work. Because of product timetables I don't have time at the moment to get involved in your project but if you want to go the plugin route I suggest asking in the Acrobat SDK forum, which is where most of the C++ programmers hang out. I'll add the SWF-proxy idea onto our list of future tutorials but it'll be a couple of months before I get round to it.

Create Interactive Zoom and Pan (in out, left, right)

Hello Flash Forum,
I have been checking the forum for ideas and suggestions on
how to implement an interactive zoom and pan on an image. I would
like the user to be able to drag a "magnifing glass" over an image,
and then zoom in (or out) on the area in the magnifing glass, using
the mouse wheel. How might I go about creating this effect? Or, the
easier way, steal someone's code who has implemented this kind of
functionality.
Thanks

I am sorry but I do not understand.
I am not a programer .I have not idea about SDK, how it works neither how to install it.

How do HD-SDI work with FCP?

Hi,
Do anyone mind to explain that how do HD-SDI work with FCP?

Hi
You'll need an HD-SDI I/O card, such as a Blackmagic Decklink or Aja Kona, which has those connectors. The software they include will allow FCP to use the SDI ports for capture or monitoring, and add sequence presets for different video formats.
Check the product pages at Aja or Blackmagic for more information, and these forums for various opinions on either card. I've been using a Kona LHe for 23.98 capture from an HDCAM deck, and monitoring the same sequence to a Sony CRT at 29.97. Works very well.

Samsung built-in camera constantly zooming and panning

I have a new Samsung F8500 TV with a built-in, popup camera. I have tried the Skype app a few times and the camera keeps zooming out, zooming in, and panning on its own during the whole video chat. It is very distracting such that I don't know if we are going to be able to use the app anymore. The "Face Tracking" feature is turned off but it is almost like it is somehow still tracking movement or something. I don't see any other settings that might affect this. Is there a way to set a fixed zoom and pan for the camera?

Hi The mechanism for turning this off, is whilst you are on a call. Using the buttons which appear at the bottom of the screen whilst you are on a call, select the button that looks like a camera, and you should see an option allowing you to turn auto zoom/pan on/off. Once you have turned it off, the setting should be remembered each time you make a call. If that doesn't work, please let me know and I'll contact Samsung.
