Max Size Of Pan & Zoom

What is the max width/height a photo can be in a pan and zoom these days?

In terms of memory, you're definitely safe with a 2000x2000 jpeg image. For best results, use Save for Web & Devices in Photoshop or Illustrator to save the file. If you use a larger image, make sure that you test it on the device.

Pan & Zoom Not Working in PP4

Using PP CS4 with 8 years experience with Premiere, am having trouble with this effect. Effect Controls > Motion > Position & Scale controls are all there but the resizing for keyframes is not having any visible effect in either Source or Program monitors. The clip remains exactly as it was imported at full, uncropped view. Please help. Thx

Just for clarification, are you using the Pan & Zoom for a SlideShow in Encore, or are you using the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale & Motion>Position in PrPro?
If the latter, then I would post to the PrPro CS4 and Earlier Forum.
In the meantime, and in case you ARE encountering this issue in PrPro, let's go over the steps to do Pans & Zooms in the Effects Control Panel.
First, in your Timeline, Select your Still Image (or Video Clip).
If not in focus, get Effects Control Panel open and in front in its Pane.
Place the CTI (Current Time Indicator) /Playhead at the first Frame of that Still/Clip.
Look at the Fixed Effects list in Effects Control Panel, and for Motion, twirl that Open, to reveal both Scale and Position. Twirl those Open, to reveal their sliders.
For a Zoom, click the little Stopwatch icon next to it, to toggle Keyframe animation ON, and place a Keyframe on that First Frame.
At this point, that Keyframe will have a value of 100%, or original size. If one needs to adjust that, say for a Zoom Out to full Scale, but needs to start Zoomed In, set it to where you wish to start.
Move to the time (on the Timeline, or on the mini-timeline in Effects Control Panel - the CTS's are linked), where you want the Zoom Out to end, and click the New Keyframe button, the filled circle in the ◄●► icon. A new Keyframe is added at that spot. Now, adjust the Scale to what is desired there.
One can adjust the Interpolation between those Keyframes, if desired, but that is something that one will be better off, if they read the full section on Keyframe Interpolation in the Help Files.
If one wishes to add a Pan, then the same process is repeated, but for the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position.
Good luck, and hope that helps,

Pan & Zoom multilayered PSDs. Help needed

Hi All,
I've got an edit I need to finish pronto then another one this coming monday and need to get some questions answered before then or in serious trouble!
Additional details: Running FCP 5
We have a client that wants to do an animatic (motion graphic add)
He want's to be able to import a multilayered photoshop image WHILST keeping the original image quality, if the dimensions are above 720x576 (I edit in UK therefore PAL pixel dimensions), so you can pan and zoom across the image while simultaneous fading up and down and moving certain layers.
I was originally going to edit it on an Avid Adrenalin but found out that you can do some but not all of these things without great difficulty. SO am therefore going to edit on my FCP suite.
I tried last night to import a multilayered photoshop image and made it double the normal 16x9 PAL pixel dimentions (which are 1204x576) making it 2048x1152.
Doing this I hoped it would let me try and achieve a pan & zoom effect, but I found that it distorted the aspect ratio of the clip.
Making it squashed, even though my new project that I had set up was Pal DV Anamorphic (16x9). It dispalayed the newly created large psd as eveen more anamorphic - more like cinema scope!!
I looked it the motion tap and the distort aspect ratio in the motion tab was zero.
I then did a test:
flattened the psd, changed the image size to 1024x576.
I then imported that and all was fine, it imported it at the correct ratio.
Also major question.
Is FCP able to handle these graphics easily.
When I import them and insert them into the new seq I can set that seq to Unlimited RT low playback to see the move easily.
But when I open the nest that has all the layers it wont let me set RT settings, it only displays a few options, none that allow me to view in low res.
The client wants to edit in DV not lower so cant do motion jpg offline res.
He also needs the large images, eg we pan across a models hair only to fade up a layer of a product appearing in her hand.
I don't know After Effects well enough to attempt the edit on that, and I don't know motion at all.
The photographer/ client says he's done all his previous edits in FCP.
Is there an article I could read or is there any advise anyone can give me about approaching this project?
Minimizing render time, work flow etc
Has anyone used Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro?? (Or was that used by people with FCP 4 and now FCHD can acheive Pan & Zooms really well???)
Thanks anyone for the help!!!!
d

Tom/ anyone else who can help,
(note: also posted on 2pop erlier, just incase Tom/anyone else read that one, saving you the trouble of reading twice!)
Sorry back again,
very nearly sorted after breakthrough last night.
Just need to clear up one more thing:
An FCP editor mate says he keeps the graphics he's given high res i.e. 300dpi, he says you can zoom in and keep the quality.
Can fcp handle bigger image resolutions? I know it can only go up to 4000 pixels squared but what dpi can it go up to. I always thought it would only work in 72 dpi.
Before finding about about fcp being able to handle higher than 72dpi, after numerous tests and conversations with you, I'd come to the conclusion that:
If designing in Photoshop for Final Cut Pro
If you don't use photoshop's PAL DV presets take this into consideration:
In graphics for 4:3 FCP projects:
768x576 convert to 720x576
1536x1152 convert to 1440x1152
always divide graphics width in photoshop by:
1.06666666667
In graphics for 16:9 FCP projects:
1024x576 convert to 720x576
2048x1152 convert to 1440x1152
always divide graphics width in photoshop by:
1.42222222222
I'm not sure of the actual size of the images the client is going to give me & I desperately don't want to get into the problem I had yesterday of distorted aspect ratios when importing to FCP.
The only question is
If he gives me a photo that's 300dpi I'm going to have a problem with knowing exactly what size the image will be in photoshop regarding rescaling etc.
When he gives me the graphics, I'll check the dimetions in photoshop.
I should check if it's a rectangular or suare pixel doc first correct?
My thinking is that it'll be square pixel coming from a digital camera, and we'll prob work in 4:3 (i've just been given video rushes to combine with the edit at 4:3 res)
Regarding the graphics,
Should I work in a high res and keep the pixel dimentions as high as I need up to 4000pix squared or should I keep it at 720x576 and keep the res high?
FCP works better with images at 720x576 they don't need rendering regardless of the dpi?? ANd also when you step into the PSD nest it gives you an option of Unlimited RT, it even has a dark green line in Safe RT.
Whereas when I work in images over 720x576, (say double that at 1440x1152) the PSD seq FCP creates when importing the multi-layered graphic has a red render line and won't let me work in Unlimited RT or Safe RT, it just gives the option of: 'use playback settings' or 'full quality'.
would it be good to create a photoshop template, so that I can drop the graphics I'm given into that, then manipulate it accordingly??
All advice welcome!!
Sorry finding if still finding it slightly confusing!
Almost there!!!!
thanks for reading

Pan & Zoom in PRE7

I have Photoshop Elements7 and Premiere 7 and I have a few basic questions.
I prefer the pan & zoom effects in PSE7 over the presets in PRE7 when I make DVD slide shows.
I don't like the black box effect surrounding the image when zooming in PRE7 so is it possible to duplicate the PSE7 effect in PRE7?
Is there any "ideal" image size when importing my images? I understand the final image size would be 720 x 576 for a PAL system.
I note PRE7 manual states it can handle up to 4096 x 4096 pixels but I think that would use up an incredible amount of space on the DVD however as I understand it providing the files are in PSD format PRE7 will size them automatically to 720 x 576 for the PAL system. To allow for upsizing in a zoom I would need to have the image sizes say 1200 x 800.
Are my assumptions correct?
Regards,
Doug.

I don't know about your manual, but my books recommend you keep your images no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. 4096x4096 would likely stop all but the most powerful computers right in their tracks -- and even if it did work, the program would likely choke during output to DVD.
So trust me. Keep it at 1000x750 or smaller.
There are a number of ways to do pans and zooms in Premiere Elements, so I'm not sure what you're comparing when you say pan & zoom effects vs. pan & zoom presets.
The presets are set up for various sizes of photos, as can be determined by the names of the preset For instance the 920x1280 Zoom In preset will work perfectly with a 920x1280 pixel photo. If you match the photo sizes with the preset you won't get a black box around the outside.
But the best way to get good, custom pans & zooms is to use keyframing.
I cover keyframing in my books -- and show you some advanced tricks with keyframing in my new "Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements." I've also got a Steve's Tips article "Basic Keyframing PDF" you can download from the Muvipix.com site for free. I also cover it in my free "Basic Training with Premiere Elements" tutorials.
Finally, if you prefer to use presets, I've got a set of free presets made to fit perfectly with 1000x750 pixel presets. Instructions on how to use these presets are included with the download.You can download it here.
http://Muvipix.com, by the way, is a great resource for learning and mastering this program!

Pan & zoom overlay will not pan until after user has zoomed in or out

I've been trying to lay out a large table of data so that when you first see the page, it's zoomed right out. It's just an imported png image, with its own frame defining over what area of the screen it should be visible, and then set to pan & zoom mode using the overlay creator).
In this initial state, the width of the image matches that of the frame; only the bottom part of the image is hidden by being outside the frame.
So it needs to be able to pan at any time regardless of the zoom level, so that a user can see all the content. But what's happening is that it refuses to respond to any swipe (i.e. pan) gestures until you have first zoomed in or out to some extent. Once you've done that the panning works perfectly in all directions.
I've experimented with different aspect ratios & relative sizes of the content & the frame, but the same thing always happens, so this seems to be deliberate. Does anyone know of any workarounds, or any options in the viewer builder (which we don't yet have) that might fix this?

I think this has to do with the fact that you have to "activate" the interactive overlay with a single tap. After that you can pinch and zoom. Before that, even a swipe is not possible.
That is different for the action "Pan only", wich is automatically activated.
I hope this will get fixed in the future. We need the autoplay option even for Pan & Zoom for instant access to that interactive overlay.

Pan & Zoom - Different renditions

I have a 4 pan and zoom objects that are just fine in a 1024 x 768 for horizontal and vertical rendition of my article.
I created an alternate layout for the iPad 3/4 - 2048 x 1536 for horizontal and vertical. I cannot upload my article to my folio because of a Content generation error.
[Error: An image in an image pan overlay is smaller than the frame on the page.]
I just deleted the article I have for the 1024 x 768 rendition and re-added to my SD Folio and it uploaded just fine. What seems to be the problem here??

The source image for the 1024x768 pan & zoom image remains the same size when you create the 2048x1536 folio, but the frame doubles in size. In other words, if you have a 1000x1000 image zooming in a 400x400 frame on the SD iPad, the HD iPad showing the 2x rendition will display the same 1000x1000 image in an 800x800 frame. In your example, the frame doubled in size and became larger than the image's dimensions.
When you create the HD rendition, double the size of the source image, or reduce the frame size. You might want to create separate layers or separate source documents for the two pan & zoom assets.

Pan & zoom in small part of the screen

I would like to create an effect wear it looks like you are "dropping" pictures onto the screen (similar to the iMac screen saver). I can get the pictures to drop onto the screen no problem. Once it has dropped in place, I would like each of the pictures to pan and zoom in the place where they "dropped" without getting any larger. I want it to look like you have a bunch of pictures locked into place panning inside their frame. Thanks for the help!

You might try using the free filter Quarter PIP.
For your purpose you should set Position to <manual> so you can position the PIP by keyframing the +Horiz Manual+ and +Vert Manual+ controls; this will drop the picture into the screen. In addition set +Full Size+ to 1 or some other value between 0 and 1: this will allow you to pan the picture within the PIP using the +Slip Horizontal+ and +Slip Vertical+ controls. Full Size allows to zoom into the picture up to 200% the original size.

Pan & Zoom "In"

Hi there,
I have a question regarding Pan & Zoom feature. I have observed we do not have a 100% control over it, but, anyway... maybe someone knows a trick to make it better!
1) When user activates pan&zoom in a page (touching it), the zoom is already 100%, so user has to zoom out. I think it doesn't make sense. As a user, I'd rather prefer to "zoom in" something which I would like to appreciate bigger. So... is there a way we could set up the pan&zoom frame to make the "opposite zooming"? Any 'tricks'?
Regards,
Clarissa

Keyframing Pan/Zoom - How To Simplify?

I want to do a simple effect where I start the clip centered at 100% and zoom to off-center at 120%. So basically, keyframing size and position over the clip's length.
In order to do that, I do the following steps:
1. Select the clip in the timeline
2. Ensure the CTI is at the beginning of the clip
3. Select the effects panel
4. Open the position section and set a keyframe for size and another keyframe for position
5. Go back to the clip in the timeline and hit "End" to ensure CTI is at the end of the clip (the "End" key doesn't move the CTI in the keyframing panel)
6. Go back to the effects panel
7. Set a keyframe for size and another keyframe for position
8. In the monitor, use the frame to expand and move the frame as needed.Alternatively, type in a number in the zoom percentage field.
That's a lot of freaking steps to do something that I do a lot!
Ideally, I'd like to at least be able to click a single key and have PP automatically:
Create a zoom keyframe at the first frame of the selected clip
Create a zoom keyframe at the last frame of the selected clip
Create a position keyframe at first frame of the selected clip
Create a position keyframe at the last frame of the selected clip.
Does anybody know of an easy way to do this? I would think keyframed Pan/Zoom has to be one of the most common effects, and I can't believe it takes so much mousing and clicking to do such a simple effect!
I have a gaming keyboard, so I could program some keystroke macros, but I don't think I could program switching between panels so any solution would have to be entirely keyboard-based.
TIA!

That would definitely help, since it would avoid several trips back-and-forth between clip and effects.
I have noticed that thing where the keyframing seems to go one frame past the end. Was never clear on what the deal was with that - like do you need to go back 1 frame or not, and if so, is that a feature or a bug? I've always gone back 1 frame, too.
Something I found that looks promising is here.
I wonder if I can select a clip and put in the 4 keyframes (Position @ start; Position @ end - 1; Scale @ start; Scale @ end - 1) and then save "Motion" as a Preset with Type = Scale?
Then I could just apply that saved Preset Effect to any clip and automatically have the 4 keyframes added?
ETA: Another site here seems to say that will work. They call it the "Ken Burns effect".

Pan & Zoom, can't go to next stack

Hello,
we've a big problem. In our folio we built Pan & Zoom-Overlays over the whole size. Now we can't go to the next stack. We can't touch and move the folio wheather on iPad2 nor on iPad3. In our last published folios there was no problem.
What can we do?
Thanks for your ideas.
Neele

@Neele – by the "next stack", do you mean the next article, the next page on that article?
For v20 of the tools what is working (tested right now):
Create navigation elements (buttons) that lead to the next/prvious page and/or article.
I used the "navto://articlename#pagenumber-1" by URL approach.
Place those buttons inside scrollable frames.
Scrollable frames will stay in front of the frame with the image you could pan & zoom.
Set the scroll direction to "None"
Set the scroll indicators to "None"
See the following steps by screen grabs (German UI):
1. Background frame with image set to Pan & Zoom, above it a scrollable frame with a button inside
2. Second step to define the scrollable frame:
3. Define your button with the appropriate target. In my case a "navto://articlename#pagenumber-1"
4. Preview in the Adobe Content Viewer of the page pressing (tabbing) the button
(Don't care about the other elements around the image; just other elements I played around with)
5. Preview in Adobe Content Viewer: using the pan effect of the frame that holds the image (scrollable frame with the button stays on top, buton is still working)

Premier 12, Titles & Text, Current Time indicator, Pan & zoom

I am using Premier 12 and am really enjoying the program, I had been using Premier 8 and I am getting much fewer project crashes, in fact almost none! Whomever worked on this program did a really good job. I am also finding it very user friendly and have been using both the "quick" and the "expert" portions of the program. That said I have three questions,
Titles and text, I am using one with "scrolling credits", is there a function where I can either "freeze" the screen after it scrolls to the text OR is there a function to "replay" the text instead of just going "black" and stopping?
Also when I have added all of my clips onto the timeline and have my "curent time indicator" at the "end" it does not stop and "go back" to the beginning/home unless I manually hit the "home" on my keyboard. I want to make sure that when I go to burn that the movie will instantly go back to the beginning of the project.
Is is possible to do a type of "Ken Burns" panning and zooming with Premier 12 and if so how do you do it?
Thanks

Good to learn of your progress with Premiere Elements 12.
3. Is is possible to do a type of "Ken Burns" panning and zooming with Premier 12 and if so how do you do it?
The Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Horizontal and Vertical Pan & Zoom choices in Presets are available in version 12 under fx Effects/Presets/. As in 8.0/8.0.1, in 12 it is either pan OR zoom applied to each clip, not pan AND zoom.
As in 8.0/8.0.1, in 12 there is the Motion Panel expanded and its Toggle Animation for doing more advanced pan and zoom effects. Here look to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded for it Scale (for Zoom) and Position (Pan) properties.
The Pan and Zoom Tool is not found in version 8.0/8.0.1. It can be found in 12, Tools Menu/Pan and Zoom. The feature comes with its own workspace once you select the image and then the feature under Tools Menu. Note, when the panned and zoom image is returned to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Pan and Zoom workspace, the duration of the image is markedly increased. That is normal. Here is a sample of more information on the topic

I want to make sure that when I go to burn that the movie will instantly go back to the beginning of the project.
I am not sure that you are dealing with leftover beyond the left gray tab of the Work Area Bar. So let us make sure.
After you have added all your clips to the Timeline, do the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span that Timeline content from what you see as the beginning and end of the whole content? When you hit the play button of the monitor, does the Timeline content playback from beginning and end of what you can see as the beginning and end or does the Timeline Indicator continue beyond the last item that you put on the Timeline? If the latter, then you are some fragments further to the right of the end that you can see. Typically the present (with Timeline content expanded max) as very thin vertical black lines which will need to be deleted. In these cases, use the End key stop position to search for the leftover(s).
Other Home and End key to navigate the whole Timeline content under the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar.
Titles and text, I am using one with "scrolling credits", is there a function where I can either "freeze" the screen after it scrolls to the text OR is there a function to "replay" the text instead of just going "black" and stopping?
The basics of this feature should be the same as in Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1. Menu name is different and Titler has a different look but principles are the same between 8.0/8.0.1 and 12. Are you talking about looping a text title? Sounds like that. If so we can talk about that in greater detail. Have you done in 8.0/8.0.1 what you want to go in 12 in this regard? Or is this a new effect that you want to achieve?
Please review. Keep up the great work.

Technique(s) for keeping fast pans/zooms smooth?

I'm taking some simple HD (Sony HDR-SR11) footage pans and zooms that I filmed at a slow speed. By that I just mean I move the camera slowly during the pan and zoomed slowly. It's a promo spot so it's a pan of a room and a zoom out of a sign/building. The original footage looks great! Now I want to speed both up for a quick short fast pan and zoom and render the original 1920x1080 footage for use on the web. My timeline sequence is set for AVCHD 720p. When I just speed up the duration (about 400% to get the speed I want) I end up with footage that loses the quality look, kind of blurry in spots as if the resolution has been degraded and even some artifacts show up. Can anyone point me to a technique that will speed up my pans/zooms but keep them smooth looking without losing any quality or resolution in either PP or AE?
thanks,
Dave

I will say it is disappointing that I can take 1920X1080 footage down to 1280X720 and lose quality.
Well, before you re-shoot, let's talk about that. Is it possible that you're unhappy with the quality, not as a result of the speed change, but as a result of resizing the video? Export a short segment of your timeline at normal speed, but with the reduction in frame size. How's the quality look?
If it's too soft, then use Maximum Render Quality when you export. The easiest way is to set it in the Sequence settings. With MRQ, how does the normal speed video look?
If the normal speed + resized video looks good without MRQ, however, then it means you're unhappy with the speed change. That's when you'll need to re-shoot.

Please tell me you can use pan/zoom tool for photo slideshow with photos not cropped to screen?

I'm new to Mac and Premiere Elements (former PC/Sony Vegas Movie user), and am trying to do a Ken Burns type photo slideshow wherein my photos are left in their normal cropped state. Right now it seems all photos get cropped to fill the screen size (i.e. 16:9). I saw where you could uncheck the scale photo size to media (or something to that effect) under the general setting in preferences, but using the pan/zool tool still shows photos cropped to fill screen. I realize conflicting aspect ratio will result in black bars top/bottom or left/right of frame, and that's ok/what I want. I'm hoping this is doable? Thanks, Jim

jimdrought
The primary question that I have is what is the end product...DVD-VIDEO Standard on DVD disc, DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc or other?
Let us assume for now DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc. The next question that falls into line is the one relating to what you describe as an assortment of photos going into this project...what are the pixel dimensions (what range of...) and aspect ratio. For aspect ratio, are we talking 4:3 or 16:9. How many of these photos are landscape oriented or how many portrait oriented.
In generalities at this point, I would ask you to look at:
a. bringing your photos appropriately sized into a Premiere Elements project with an appropriate project preset.
b. leaving Edit Menu/Preferences/General with its Default Scale to Frame Size with a check mark.
c. in the workspace, scaling the photos to just fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor
d. then one by one pan and zoom a photo with the Pan and Zoom Tool.
If you use this Tool, you should get good results. One consideration is that the process results in the Timeline photo having a much larger duration AFTER than BEFORE. If you see any pros in using this tool for your purposes, then you might want to explore the technique that I described for applying a pan and zoom effect from this Tool to more than one photo at a time.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-pan-zoom-tool-more-than-one-photo.html
You also might want to explore fxEffects/Presets for horizontal and vertical pans or zoom. The catch in the presets is that you can apply a pan OR zoom, not a pan AND zoom to each photo.
Keyframing of Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan) should be explored under Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded/Scale and Position properties.
With more details from you, we could go step by step in any of the above.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

Mouse cursor dissapears in The Pan|Zoom component

When using the Pan|Zoom component found at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/fig_panzoom/ inside a mx:Window in my AIR application, the custom mouse cursors (draghandOpen, draghandClosed) are not shown. The mouse cursor just dissapears when rolling over the ImageViewer.
From the Pan|Zoom code:
                case "mouseOver":
                    // cursors
                    if (_client.viewRect.containsRect(_reciever))
                        CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
                    } else
                        CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
                        cursorID = CursorManager.setCursor(_iconHandOpen);
This works fine when running the source at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/fig_panzoom/ as an AIR application. Why won't it work in a mx:window?

I found the solution here: http://butterfliesandbugs.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/how-to-get-a-custom-cursor-in-an-air-wi ndow/
The problem was fixed by changing CursorManager.setBusyCursor() to myAIRWindow.cursorManager.setBusyCursor();

I can't change the pan / zoom duration in Premiere Elements 13

Ok I'm getting really frustrated especially after I just watched a video tutorial which clearly shows how to do this in Premiere Elements 10 and I have JUST purchased version 13!
What I'm not able to adjust is the speed or duration between focus frames in a pan / zoom; after it's set up.
You are supposed to be able to go into the PAN TOOL, and either click on the pan duration, or in the In the Pan Time dialog, scrub the time duration to the desired value, or enter a value in the dialog box, OR simply adjust / drag the focus frame markers in the timeline (like in the video tutorial I watched...) to change the pan duration. In my software at least NONE of these work. (All these from: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Pan and zoom to create video-like effect)
I can't click on the pan duration, well if I do nothing happens, I can't even get a Pan Time Dialog box; so I can't do it that way; and lastly I can't click and adjust the focus frame markers in the timeline....none of it works and I can hardly believe that this is correct...the only way that I can adjust the pan time, is to delete the effect completely and start it over...this can't be correct can it??
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Ok yep you are great, so I'm sorry I'm attempting to do it on video clips, not stills.
I was aware that the last versions of PE had similar Pan and Zoom workspaces, that's why I knew or thought I knew that my situation could be solved.
The first link that you recommend is exactly where I got the third paragraph of my question, so I had already reviewed that and to me when you read the directive it still makes it sound like you can adjust the focus frame markers....? (very confusing)
The second link you sent might have helped me realize that the tool doesn't work the same way for Stills and it does for Video clips; (I really think like on the Adobe web site this difference should be markedly more clear to help with confusion; but in their defense maybe it's me being slow to understand)
I was able to figure out some of the difference through perseverance last night, and did figure out (like your last link explains) that you can move the CTI and then add a new focus frame...BUT I still have my original question...how can you adjust the pan duration on a video clip after it's been made and you have left the pan and zoom tool like if you want to edit that timing... I think the answer is that you can't lol, I think it has to be deleted or a new focus frame added and the other deleted to adjust the timing...am I correct?
This quote is taken from the Adobe web site one of the links you shared
You can work with focus frames in videos the same way that you work with focus frames for images. However, only those options that are relevant to movie clips appear in the pan and zoom tool.
I think maybe the last sentence is attempting to explain that but it's just so ambiguous...
Just trying to figure it out! I do appreciate your help!
