PAN and ZOOM without keyboard

I use GRAPH 3D on a tactil screen.
How can I use the PAN and ZOOM fonction ?
Normay, I must press SHIFT or ALT key, but without key it's not so easy !!!
Can I do a "simulation" of these key's, with LabView fonction's or with a
DLL ???
Thanks in advence (and sorry for my englich... if you speek french !)

It might be difficult to create an intuitive user interface, but you should be
able to accomplish the pan and zoom actions using sliders or buttons on the
front panel in conjunction with VI Server calls on the diagram.
Wire a 3D Graph reference into a property node and check out the properties
that you can set programmatically. I think you'll want to use ViewDistance
(zoom) plus ViewXCenter and ViewYCenter (pan) to get what you're after. In the
panel button scenario, you might put a "Zoom In" button on t
he panel tied to a
case structure on your diagram that multiplied the current ViewDistance by
slightly more than 1.0.

Is there an easy way to pan and zoom still slides in PE4?

Either i'm totally stupid, or why is it so hard to pan and zoom still slides in PE4?
I'm trying to create a slide show in PE4, and i want to pan and zoom on each slide -- nothing overly fancy, but i want to control where the beginning and end point is for each zoom. It's really easy to do this in PSE 6 -- it shows you green and red boxes for where the pans/zooms begin and end and you can just grab the boundaries and change them. in PE 4, it seems you have to use presets (which are only pans OR zooms) or resort to Keyframes which are very complicated and VERY POORLY explained in the Adobe PE4/PSE6 classroom in a book.
Is there an easy way to do pans and zooms without being a rocket scientist?

Eric,
The ability to use Keyframing in infinitely powerful. However, with that power comes some hand-work.
However, once one has their head around the concept of Keyframing, the mechanics of it, plus the options, it becomes easy and second nature. It's getting to that point, that requires a bit of work and practice. I second Steve's tip link, as a great place to start. Once you become comfortable with the power, you'll likely never go back to any form of "Random Pan & Zoom."
Now, the work that I do is usually very tightly scripted. Each "move" depends on the exact subject and what I, or the director, want at that moment, with that image. I often have this part figured out, before I re-size the images for Import. If I need more Pan, then I'll go a bit larger. Less Pan and I'll get it right at the DVD frame size (720x480 PAR 0.9, in my case).
Learning which Panels to have open, and when, will go a long way to making the experience easier and more enjoyable, so setting up one's Workspace is very important. Big, honking monitors also make the editing experience more pleasant.
Good luck,
Hunt

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?

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 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.

Lightroom Resizing of Photos for PrE Pan and Zoom

Not knowing better, I tried my first PrE slide show project with huge RAW stills. It worked without crashing or stalling.
For a year I've been learning and practiceing with Lightroom and like it a lot. It has a very convient risizing tool.
I'm confused on a setting. Bill Hunt used Photoshop in the article linked by John Smith. It does not mention "pixels per inch". Also, I'm setting the "long edge" at 1.5 x the original's 1920 to make room for Pan and Zoom.
I don't know what to do with "pixel per inch" to match or optimize for a AVCHD 1080p project. I'm guessing at 140.
Screen shot of Lightroom export page:
Do these setting look like they make sense? Should the pixels per inch be different?
Thanks.
Bill

I posted the same question in the Lightroom forum and got the answer that "ppi" settings are meaningless here.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5811248#5811248
While I was at it I tried several things. One was to use dimensions greater than 1920x1080 to improve Pan&Zoom. I could see no difference other than the files were bigger.

Easy way to do smooth motion pan and zoom on a video clip?

Howdy..
As a recent convert from Vegas and Premiere Pro, I'm very happy with FCP6, with 1 issue: Easy moves on video clips.
It's very easy to setup a move with the motion filter, but the problem is that zooming with moving on the clip with 'ease-in' is problematic.
The scaling and motion seem to accelerate at different rates, making it very tough to achieve a smooth pan and zoom at the same time (either one by itself is easy).
I've tried using anchor points, but that's difficult when doing several moves on a clip.
Basically, is there ANY way (either native or via a plug-in) to set up simple pan+zooms on a video clip, with smoothness turned on without having the 'slingshot' effect that you get? I know I can mess around with the acceleration points, but this is tough to do with 100 of clips that need adjusting.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer..
Thanks...
Best,
Ben

Howdy...
Usually I set easy-in/out on the canvas window (for center) and then 'smooth' on the keyframes (for scale) in the motion window.
Can you actually set smoothing for center in the viewer? I think you can only set easy-in/out for center in the canvas. (could be wrong on this one).
I wish it worked like in Motion. Much easier and more intuitive, but one shouldn't have to jump to a different app just to do a simple pan and zoom...
Any other ideas?

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Nope. Be a great feature. For that I use FotoMagico after exporting JPEG's from LR.

How to set the duration of each pic in a slideshow (and also how to pan and zoom)

I have about 30 pictures I would like to add to a slide show.
When I add them the duration for each picture is set to 6 seconds.
I would like this changed to 4 seconds.
But manually changing the duration of each individual picture, one by one, is a slow and tedious task.
Is there a way of changing the duration of all my pictures at the same time, from 6 seconds to 4 seconds ?
Or can I change a setting so that when I insert my pictures the duration is set to 4 seconds instead of 6 seconds ?
As for the pan and zoom, I have seen the pan and zoom effect but this has a black border around the pictures as they zoom in and out.
For example, when zooming in the picture starts small with a black border all round the edge.
When zooming out the picture ends small with a black border all round the edge.
Is there a way to pan and zoom starting with a full screen when zooming in, and ending with a full screen when zooming out ?
Thereby not showing any ugly black borders.
My Nokia N73 phone can do it !
You can view the pictures as a slide show and when it pans and zooms it looks so much better because it does not show any black borders.
The picture ALWAYS fills the screen even though it is panning and zooming.

If you go to Edit/Preferences, you can set the default duration for each slide. This will affect only those photos you've imported into your project AFTER changing this preference.
You should also turn off the preference for Scale to Frame Size, so your photos do not fill the screen. (And, for efficiency's sake, make sure your source photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs at the top of this forum.)
You can also set the duration of each slide by selecting all of the stills you want to include on in your slideshow, right-clicking and selecting the Create Slideshow option.

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.
Thanks.

Pan and Zoom (Ken Burns Effect)

Does iDVD 06 support the Ken Burns Effect? When I import a Slide Show from iPhoto to iDVD it looses the transitions and the pan and zoom features. I can add the transitions back through iDVD, but I can't find anywhere to add the Ken Burns effect back to the slide show? Is it possible? I will be really disappointed if iDVD 06 does not support this feature.

Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
I don't use iPhoto, so I can't help you with that, but I can tell you that iDVD does NOT have the KB Effect.

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

Pan and Zoom in a Windows instead of Full Screen?

Hi,
Tried using the Pan & Zoom and found it very difficult to work with. I had an image I wanted to be displayed on the screen but I only wanted it to use 1/3 of the screen. I sized the image and then went to pan/zoom. The image re-sized to full screen and then from there I could use the tool. Is there a way to use this tool but have the image remain the same size I set previously?

protivakid
What are you now using for pan and zoom? Is it the Premiere Elements 12 Pan and Zoom Tool under Tools Menu?
For starter, please take a look at the Steve Grisetti free video tutorial on the basics of using the Premiere Elements Pan and Zoom Tool as found in versions 11 or 12.
http://www.lynda.com/Elements-tutorials/Creating-motion-path-Pan-Zoom-tool/109763/117259-4 .html
If that does not help, we can go into more details, those specific to your particular requirements.
If all else fails, you can always go the non Pan and Zoom Tool route for your pans and zooms. To do that, you would keyframe the Motion Scale property (Zoom) and the Position property (Pan). See Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to reveal its properties which include Scale and Position.
Please review and consider and let us know what supplemental information you need.
Thank you.
