Pan and Zoom and Resolution Settings

Okay I am starting a new project and I want to use allot of the Ken Burns, or Pan and Zoom effect. From previous discussions I was advised to scale my photos 2000 x 1500. Given that at what "resolution" to you recommend for the project?

AZ Aurora
If your goal is DVD-VIDEO Standard 4:3 on DVD disc and you have all photos (4320 x 3240 4:3 and 3456 x 2304 3:2), then you do not want any project preset settings described for 16:9.
There are a lot of ways to do this, but stay with NTSC DV Standard as your project preset under the conditions above.
This is one way....
The sizing of your photos can cause problems depending on and in spite of your computer resources....especially if you have about 500 photos. Suggested batch resizing is to 1000 x 750 4:3 for landscape oriented photos. Higher than that, whatever you can get away with without jeopardizing the stability of the project for import, edit, and export.
Set the project preset manually for NTSC DV Standard
        How to is at the end of the following
        http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and remove the check mark next to Default Scale to Frame Size
Bring in your photos sized to 1000 x 750 4:3, 2000 x 750 4:3, or the original size 4320 x 3240 4:3 or 3456 x 2304 3:2) - whatever you can get away with. Recommended 1000 x 750 4:3. Remember, no matter how high the resolution of the import, it will be reduced to the sizing of the end product format.
When you drag each to the Timeline, they will appear zoomed in. Ignore that and apply Tools Menu/Pan and Zoom
When you click Done in the Pan and Zoom workspace and you are back in the Editor workspace, scale the Timeline's panned and zoomed image in the
         Edit area monitor as wanted.
Please try this on a mini test run to test the merits of this approach. We can discuss alternatives if necessary.
Thanks.

  • How do I use pan and zoom on vertical photographs without editing out most of the photo?

    I am trying to make a slide show.  When I have a vertically oriented (portrait) photograph and try to use pan and zoom, the feature eliminates much of the photograph.  It seems the pan and zoom feature only works for horizontally oriented (or landscape) photographs.  Is there a way to use pan and zoom on vertically oriented photographs to capture all or most of the photograph and zoom in from there?

    gtavetian
    I decided to use a different strategy to convey the principle. It is most likely that your photos will be 4:3 and you may or may not be taking them into a SD widescreen or HD widescreen project. With all those variables, to get the basic ideas across, I am going to use two models with a generalized scheme.
    For this post....
    NTSC DV Standard Project - Portrait Oriented JPG, in this case 2448 x 3264 3:4. Could be any Portrait Oriented JPEG any pixel dimensions. But best plan ahead for what you have and what you would like.
    Manually set the project preset to NTSC DV Standard.
    File Menu/New/Project and, in the new project dialog, set for NTSC DV Standard.
    Before exiting the final dialog in that area, put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". Close out of there.
    Next go to the Edit Menu/Preferences/General and remove the check mark next to "Default Scale to Frame Size". Close out of the preferences.
    In the opened Premiere Elements Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to get your portrait oriented JPG to the beginning of the Timeline.The 2448 x 3264 3:4 will overwhelm the space in the Edit Mode monitor. That is to be expected. The Timeline Indicator is at the beginning of the Timeline @ 00;00;00;00.
    a. Click on the Timeline jpg to select it. With Motion Panel/Scale property (with Constrain Proportions with check mark), you want to scale the image so that the whole is shown within the mode space. You want to see the image's bounding box. See the next screenshot. The bounding box is the white outline around the image. It has handles.
    After the scaling to get that look, the important information that you want is on the right in the Motion Panel
    Position values 360.0 and 240.0
    Scale value 14.6%.
    The next phase is as before (See post 21 of this thread...but much of that is repeated below and modified for what is being described at this moment)
    With Timeline Indicator at the beginning of Video Track 1 (00;00;00;00), go to Tools Menu/Pan and Zoom and click on it to open  the Pan and Zoom workspace.
    In the Pan and Zoom workspace, you will see that the feature has created the initial two Focus Frames for you. 
    Do not do anything to Focus Frame 1 in the bin below the image window.
    Click on Focus Frame 2 in the bin below the image window and set the Focus Frame as wanted.
    Click on New Frame in the panel to the left of the image window  to create a third Focus Frame which will appear in the bin. Set Focus Frame as wanted.
    Click on New Frame in the panel  to the left of the image window to create a fourth Focus Frame which will appear in the bin. Set the Focus Frame as wanted.
    Click Done to the Pan and Zoom workspace so that you are back in the Premiere Elements Expert workspace with its Timeline.
    In the Expert workspace,
    Move the Timeline Indicator to the last frame of the selected pan and zoom clip 1. In Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded, (Toggle Animation should be active at this point), make sure Position settings are 360.0 and 240.0 and Scale = 14.6% (with Constrain Proportions used).Then go to Tools Menu/Freeze Frame and set the freeze frame for 3 seconds and hit Insert in Movie.
    Then move the Timeline Indicator to the first frame of the selected pan and zoom clip 1. In Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded (Toggle Animation should be active at this point), make sure Position settings are 360.0 and 240.0 and Scale = 14.6% (with Constrain Proportions used). Then go to Tools Menu/Freeze Frame and set the freeze frame for 3 seconds and hit Insert in Movie.
    Render.
    The Timeline content sequence from start to finish should be:
    Freeze Frame 3 seconds First Frame of pan and zoom clip 1
    Pan and zoom clip 1
    Freeze Frame 3 seconds Last Frame of pan and zoom clip 1
    Freeze Frame 3 seconds First Frame of pan and zoom clip 2
    Pan and zoom clip 2
    Freeze Frame 3 seconds Last Frame of pan and zoom clip 2
    A Dissolve/Cross Dissolve Video Transition (1.00 seconds) is placed between end of Freeze Frame  Last Frame of pan and zoom clip 1 and beginning of Freeze Frame 3 First Frame of pan and zoom clip 2.
    Additional pan and zoom portrait oriented jpgs to the Timeline would be treated as above.
    What was done above can be applied to any photo with any project preset. The basic idea is to
    a. Start with determing the whole picture Position and Scale values as described with the Default Scale to Frame Size option disabled.
    b. Do pan and zoom with Pan and Zoom Tool in its workspace
    c. Return to Premiere Elements workspace to apply your Position and Scale values to the last frame of pan and zoom clip so that the last frame presents in full clip view. Then go to the first frame of the pan and zoom clip, and apply the Position and Scale values to it so that the first frame presents in full clip view.
    d. If you want the whole view to present for more than that one frame, do the freeze frame at each end, with the wanted duration.
    e. Apply emblessments as wanted, such as video transitions, an animated graphic flying through the last scene, etc.
    We could take this same clip into a NTSC AVCHD Full HD 1080p30 project and do the same, except the Position and Scale values and the Scale % determined at the beginning and used subsequently will be different than in the NTSC DV Standard project.
    Please check out the above and see how you do with it. If problems, please indicate where and we will work through them.
    Thanks.

  • How to pan and zoom multiple stills in a grid

    Hello,
    happy new year to the community!
    I recently did a lot of research in this forum and for the most problems in my project i could find adequate solutions in PrE 11 which I treated myself to purchase at Xmas
    But there's still something left: I'd like to align several rectangular cells in a grid, each containing a still image that is animated by some pan and zoom.
    I cannot achieve it via the pan and zoom tool since it is restricted to the frame ratio and displays full screen. Then I tried to use key framing for the pan and zoom and cropping the photos. But the crop was scaled together with the photos and didn't remain fix. My last hope was to use an alpha mask which would have the advantage that i could create a fixed grid. But the mask was affected by the animation as well...
    I suspect, after reading the post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/996581, that this is not possible without creating intermediate video files for all photos. So my question is if there's still some way to achieve the task or if it can be confirmed that the intermediate videos are the only way.
    Regards,
    phylome

    The only way I know to do this in Premiere Elements is to create your pan & zoom for each image and then output each using Publish & Share/Computer/AVI with the DV preset.
    Once you've created all of them, put each on its own separate video track, stacked on above the other, sizing and positioning each to fit in your grid.

  • Pan And Zoom Overlay Content Generation Error Invalid Asset

    I am attempting to create a Pan AND Zoom overlay, I can get the overlay to work if I choose Pan only, but if I choose Pan AND Zoom and then go to preview, I get the following error: "Content Generation Error: Invalid Asset". Any ideas? I am using V17 of the tools, (the latest before todays update)

    What image file format are you trying to turn into a Pan-and-Zoom overlay?? I encountered this error last night (I found this thread while searching here for "Invalid Asset"), and determined that it was because I had placed a .PSD file. Once I converted the image to JPG, I got it to work.

  • Pan and zoom over multiple still pictures

    Is there a way to apply general pan and zoom over multiple  still pictures simultaneously?  I seem to remember doing this in PE10, but don't recall the steps.

    Chuck700
    If you are in Premiere Elements 10 Windows and not using the program's Pan and Zoom Tool, the suggestion is to apply a pan and zoom effect to the one photo.
    Then, select that photo, Edit Menu/Copy. Then, select all the photos that you want to have the same pan and zoom effect.
    Now Edit Menu/Paste Attributes.
    There is no "Apply Pan & Zoom to all Slides" for this as in the Photoshop Elements Elements Organizer Elements Slideshow Editor preferences.
    I suppose you could create your slideshow in Premiere Elements 10's Elements Organizer Create/Slideshow so that you
    could use this "Apply Pan & Zoom to all Slides" for the pans and zooms, and then use theElements Organizer Slideshow Editor's Output option "Edit with Premiere Elements Editor" to get the slideshow into the Premiere Elements workspace.
    If you are using Premiere Elements 10 or 11's Pan and Zoom Tool, then please check out my blog post on the topic of applying the same pan and zoom effect to more than one photo.

  • Premier Elements vs. Pro for Pan and Zoom Photo Slide Shows

    I am a professional architectural photographer. I need to create videos using a set of photos, and I need the ability to pan and zoom to specific parts of each photo.  I need to be able to tell the software where to pan from and to, and where to zoom in or out.  For example, I might start at the left side of a photo, pan toward the left side of the photo, then stop panning and zoom in.  I need to control the speed of the pan and zoom, and control where they happen within each photo.  I will not be dealing with video, only still photos.
    I have seen a video demonstrating this capability in in Premier Pro.  Can it also be done in Premier Elements?

    rvomund
    Please check out the Adobe document on it Pan and Zoom Tool and that feature's workspace
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/pan-zoom-create-video-like.html
    There is a difference using this tool for video versus stills. And, since you mention that you will be using just stills, I have
    not gone into pan and zoom applied to video with this tool.
    Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Before any purchase decisions, good idea to look at the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe.

  • How to time stretch a picture frame (not video) that I have panned and zoomed in Premiere Elements 11?

    Previously used Premiere elements 11 and could zoom in on a picture frame, but also Time stretch it, so the zoom would be slow.  Cannot figure out how to do this in Premiere elements 11.  When I have applied the zoom, but go to right click on the picture frame, it does not allow me to change the time.  It stays on 100.  It will only allow me to change actual video clips.  Does anyone know how to really slow down the zoom on a picture frame, or a way to use the Time stretch like I could do in Elements 7?  Thanks!

    jshook525
    I do confirm your observation on the Time Stretch Speed %/Duration available fields for a still in Premiere Elements 7 vs 11 Presets Horizontal 640 x 480 Zoom In.
    If you want to go with Presets rather than manual keyframing of Scale property in Motion Panel expanded, then...
    1. Given your 5 second still on the Timeline.
    2. Drag the fx Effect Horizontal Image Zoom/640 x 480 Zoom In into the 5 second still on Video Track.
    When you do that two Scale keyframes are automatically placed at the beginning and end of the  5 second clip.
    3. Change the duration of the clip, with one of the following
    a. click and drag to the right the right edge of the clip to increase its duration
    or
    b. right click the clip, select Time Stretch, and set the duration to the increased value....if you had been in 7 the Speed% = 50,
    then the duration you would find is 10 seconds (00;00;10;00). Here no Speed% visible opportunity, just set the duration = 00;00;10;00.
    c. go to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded, and move the 2nd Scale Keyframe to the the right. In this
    example at the 10 second mark, the new duration of the clip.
    "Presets" has its limitation - pan or zoom instead of pan and zoom, and other. In what needs to be done here, it probably would have been quicker
    just to do the Scale keyframing yourself in Motion Panel expanded with the Toggle Animation technique Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan).
    There is more to all this, but for now let me know if any of the above could get your through to your goal.
    Thanks

  • IPAD3 PINCH AND ZOOM

    Ok working my first ipad 3 rendision. Have a Pinch and Zoom or pan and zoom box and on the ipad3 its not allowing me to zoom in vary far? I have the asset at 4000x4000 px?

    You'll get that behavior when you use a 1024x768 source document for the pan and zoom and create a 2048x1536 folio. When you're doing that, you'll want to scale the image by 50% so that the effective ppi is 144 pixels (the Info panel shows the image's effective ppi). (By the way, the upcoming v23 release will offer more options for this situation.)
    From the Pan & Zoom help topic:
    As a general rule, make sure that the image has the exact dimensions you want to use. For example, to pan a 1024-by-1024 pixel image within a 200-by-200 pixel view area, create a 1024-by-1024 image in 72 ppi. However, if you are using 1024x768 source documents in a 2048x1536 folio, using 72 ppi images can result in a different initial view experiences on different iPad models. One approach is to use layers to create different pan & zoom overlays for the different iPad sizes. Another approach is to scale the image by at least 50% so that the effective ppi is at least 144. That way, the initial view behavior remains identical, although the iPad 3 pan and zoom has a more restricted view area.

  • Temporary Hand and Zoom tools not working occasionally in InDesign, PS and Illustrator

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 and I'm using my Creative Cloud subscription of version CS6 for InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.  I periodically "lose" the ability to use the modifier key shortcuts ("Hand" and "Zoom") and so far the only solution I've found is to restart my machine, which is time consuming and disruptive to my workflow. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me some advice/guidance to resolve this issue. Thanks.

    Wow, that might just be the answer! Thank you, Steve, for the speedy reply.
    Even though I've been using the modifier keys for ages with the Adobe products, this issue has only been happening for about 4-6 months, and the past 1 month mulitiple times a day now. So I sure hope your suggestion does the trick from now on.
    Thanks again!

  • How do I get zoom and save back?

    Hi all,
    So here goes.
    Tried to zoom and save today on my BB.
    I have tried everything and can't even tho I used to do it?
    It's like options have disappeared?
    So looked at various free apps and they all a pain so went online and some such about new operating system won't allow it or some guff like that.
    So how do I go back to my old operating system to make it work and why would BB get rid of such a useful function? Seems awfully stupid to me to take a feature away without a better replacement?
    Perhaps I have missed something I just wanna take some photo's i've been sent and zoom and save them to a different size and then send on. Should be very simple as it was two clicks before.
    Let me know your thoughts!

    I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
    But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
    know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
    You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
    How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
    Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
    From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
    Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
    But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
    Is all of the above correct so far?
    If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
    a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
    b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
    Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
    c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
    setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
    I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
    your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
    so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.

    2. Double-tap the phone's screen with three fingers. Then go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.

  • Customizing pan and zoom (Ken Burns) slide by slide -- help

    Here's where I am:
    I've imported a bunch of photos into iMovie and they are happily sitting in the Photos Pane.
    Here's what I want to do:
    Photo-by-photo I want to customize the Ken Burns effect to change the zoom and panning behavior.
    Here's what I am doing:
    I select the first photo and change the zoom and pan behavior to my liking...then go to the next photo and do the same, and so on and so on...
    Here's what's happening:
    With each subsequent photo, the previous pan and zoom settings are all changed to be identical to the changes I most recently made (i.e. all my previous changes are "deleted" and now all the photos have the exact same settings).
    What am I doing wrong? Thanks a bunch!

    Sorry to make this such a messy thread! (I couldnt' find any way to edit my previous post, so I am creating a new one summarizing where I am and the problems I am experiencing). I'm about ready to throw my Mac through the
    window...heeeeeeelllpppppp meee.....sssoomebodyyyyy!
    So, trying to summarize my issues:
    I'm having a rash of problems using iMovie.
    Here is what I am trying to do:
    Using photos from iPhoto Albums, I wish to create a movie/slideshow with pan/zoom, transitions, and music ultimately for import into iDVD for burning on DVDs to be views on televisions and/or computers.
    Here's what I am doing:
    1. In the Photo Pan I have the photos I wish to use from an album.
    2. I select one photo at a time, adjusting the pan/zoom behavior and duration one at a time (I realize you dont have to do each separately, but I like to customize this behavior slide-by-slide).
    3. Click on Update after each, thereby landing it in the timeline.
    4. I then selected ALL in the timeline and chose a transition (cross fade) to be applied to all.
    5. Now I've gone back to change the pan/zoom and the length on selected slides.
    6. [This part's a little hard to describe since I think more than one thing is going on at once...] When I change the length of a slide, it recompiles the transitions on either side of it (which I understand) and when it's done, the slide durations of the slides on either side of it have been markedly shortened (like from 4 seconds down to less than 1 second). I'll then get an error message saying the transiton cant be applied to very short clips (which I understand)...
    7. So, I'll then go to one of the recently-shortened clips to lengthen it's duration...and then the process starts over again, with the clip before it getting really short.
    8. The same thing seems to happen if I delete the cross-fade transition and insert a different one...slide durations keeps changing radically.
    In addition to solving the problem above, here's a couple more questions I have:
    1. What part of the process do you set the length of the clips? (I was thining of 4 seconds a piece, but that wasn't long enough to accomodate the 1 second cross fade)
    2. What order should I apply the various settings? (pan/zoom, duration, transitions...)
    3. Later, assuming everything is okay with the timing and transitions and KB, if i want to change one transition between two photos, I tried deleting the cross-fade, then adding a new transtion. But in the process of the timing of the two photos changed preventing the new transition from fitting...). How do I go about this?
    Clearly, I'm missing something here. This is so unintuitave...driving me nuts.
    Thanks a ton for any help you can provide.

  • Permanantly disabling "ken burns" pan and zoom?

    I never want to see the Ken Burns "pan and zoom" effect in my slideshows. I find it annoying and dizzying!
    Every time i create a new slideshow, this effect is on by default. I have to go into the settings selection for each slideshow, and un-check it. There appears to be no setting to automatically disable this. I even found a "SlideShowAutoPanAndZoom" setting in the .plist file, set it to "NO", but that doesn't stop the behavior.
    Does anybody know if there's any way to do this?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem with music. Why does it
    default to playing music and why can't you change the
    default? This is really annoying.
    I too disliked the auto-music, but managed to find a "brute force" way to kill that. It ain't pretty, but it works:
    - create a silent MP3 file.
    - name it "Minuet in G.mp3" (which is iPhoto's default music choice);
    - store it over top of the existing minuet which lives in /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources/Music/
