PrE 9, zoom out of a clip?

im making a video and i want to make the clip start zoomed in, and as it progresses, to zoom out. i know of the zoom out effect, but that remains the same for the entire clip (no motion). i have a transition on it already, so i can't use the zoom transition. are there any other methods to do this on PrE 9?

Because of the power of Keyframing (not only can you Keyframe the Fixed Effects>Motion>Position and Motion>Scale, but also many other Effects, that you would wish to add), every moment spent learning the ins & outs of Keyframing will pay dividends. Steve does one of the best jobs of explaining Keyframing, that I have seen.
Also, initially it will seem like a lot of work, but it gets easier, and easier, and the "power" of Keyframing can be "intoxicating!"
Good luck, and happy Keyframing,
Hunt

Need to zoom out to see clips in organiser monitor

Hi
I'm working on a project with settings at PAL AVCHD HD1080i 25. When I put a clip on the timeline, it is much too big for the monitor panel. Is there a way to zoom out within the monitor panel so that the whole frame can be seen please?

Yes. Right-click and select Magnification> Fit

Zooming out during a clip

Me again.
I've shot a video using an autocue and because of this i was unable to zoom out during filming. Using premiere pro how can I can give the effect I'm panning out of the shot to reveal what is on the subjects desk?
Thanks

Select the clip
Go into the effects tab and select motion
There you will be able to scale and move the clip around
But that will only work if there is more of the clip to reveal when you scale it down or move it. That's unlikely in most cases, so animating motion will only reveal black around the image when you downscale or move it. You'll probably need to re-shoot the footage and zoom out if possible.

Cutting clips-zoom out-.wav exports

Hi,
When I cut a cilp from the timeline in Soundtrack Pro, apart from selecting all clips in the timeline individually or by name, is there not a way to make all the clips move to the left to fill the gap left by the clip being cut (as in FCP - delete) or in Sadie?
Also, I can't zoom right out to see the whole sequence in the timeline. My project is an hour and a half long, but my timeline view is restricted fully zoomed out to what's in the blue box in the Global timeline view right? Is there any way of making this bigger so my project is just contained within the timeline?
Finally, is there any way of exporting a .wav file instead of .aiff? At the moment I have to convert it from quicktime as Compressor doesn't seem to do it either.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the reply...
1. cut a clip - sounds like you mean "ripple delete"
That's right - strange thing is it doesn't seem to work with me! If I hit delete, it just takes out the selected section, and doesn't move everything in the timeline up to fill the gap.
2. the zoom tool is a slider that is found at the
bottom of the screen, slightly left. Works the same
way as in FCP. You may have to slide it all the way
to the left, then back all the way to the right
My project's an hour long, and this doesn't do the trick unfortunately. It's still only showing a fraction of the project. The keyboard shortcut's (shift Z -fit sequence to window) is supposedly the same as in FCP but it doesn't show me the whole sequence in the timeline. There's no way is there of increasing the size of the blue rectangle in the Global Time View to show the whole of the sequence?
3. STP isnt designed to export to multiple formats (a
feature request for sure).
Compressor, and all other creative type apps, all
work off of Quicktime, its foundation technology for
the whole OS.

Oh well.. I'll have to do it the long way for now.

Ken Burns default is "Zoom In" so why does it randomly "Zoom Out?"

I first noticed that the default zoom in was inexplicably and randomly reversing when I applied KB in one go to a bunch of selected stills.
Thinking that applying it to multiple images at once may be the cause, I tested it on a series of single photos.
The results were similar.
Sometimes the first 3 or 4 would be OK and then random slides would start zooming out. Occasionally the zoom direction would reverse on alternate pictures.
Just in case there was something peculiar about the different clips, I duplicated one several times but still got the random zoom when I applied KB.
I use 2 ways of applying the KB effect to still images but they both give random zoom directions:-
The first method is to select KB using the Crop tool in the Viewer.
This image shows the correct default but the next 3 I selected were all reversed even though I did not touch the "Reverse" button at the top.
The other method is to select KB in the Inspector.
Could some of you try to replicate my random results by testing on at least 6 photos?
More importantly, can you give a reason or suggest a cure (other than telling me to manually adjust each image).

Stopping Zoom in and Zoom out of pictures

I can't seem to find where I turn off the Zoom in and Zoom out features in iMovie related to pictures.
Where or what I have to do to turn this feature off..
Thanks

Hi Douglas,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It does look like this is the default behavior for imported pictures in iMovie 10, and can't be disabled from the iMovie preferences. The best workaround is to select all of the pictures in your timeline and turn off the Ken Burns effect using the Adjust menu.

Modify a crop, rotation, or Ken Burns effect
In the timeline, select the photos you want to modify or restore to their original state.
Click the Adjust button in the toolbar.
The adjustments bar appears above the clip in the viewer.
To show the cropping controls, click the Cropping button.
In the cropping controls, change Style from Ken Burns to Fit to display the pictures in their original size. From there, you can crop them individually as needed.

Mesh line artifact movement upon zooming in and zooming out of composition

I'm having a problem with my puppet tool in my After Effects composition–I'm getting this strange mesh line artifact. The layers have been imported from an Illustrator file. The boy has six puppet pin points. Hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, neck and head. The actual animation of the puppet looks great, however, the problem arises with the zooming in and zooming out and panning over. I'm zooming in and panning over to the boy with a camera layer and null object layer before the puppet animation and then zooming out and panning away from the boy when it is over, and it's as if the mesh outline is following my null object layer during the pan and zoom... The boy is not on a pre-comp, and I tried to put in pre-comp to see if it made a difference but it does not. I also tried expanding the mesh but it doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem. I have an illustrator file that I have a position and rotation change (to have the hand fly in), then the puppet tool mesh to have the pointer finger move to dial the numbers on the phone. I have tried non-pre-comped and pre-comped. Both produce the same results. In the first picture you can see that the mesh doesn't change position/rotation with the pre-comp. They seem to stay where I originally placed them. And where the hand flies in and moves over the mesh, that artifact is generated. I have tried expanding the mesh and making the pre-comp layer 3d.
It's rather frustrating, and I haven't found anybody solving this problem out here on the interwebs.
***OK OK. The only way I figured out to fix this was to make the illustrated hand the exact size I need it in Illustrator. Then I just don't make the layer "continuously rasterized".

Zooming out with AffineTransform

I'm trying to create a generic container panel that can zoom and pan over arbitrary JComponents. Zooming in works fine. Zooming out is getting some odd side effects from the clip. Zooming out, then resizing the window doesn't show the whole image. The top and bottom are trimmed off, despite the large space available at the top and bottom of the window.
I've overridden paintChildren() to set the Graphics' transform. mutantGraphics.setClip(mutantClip) doesn't seem to matter; the clip only gets smaller.
How do I restore the clip to the larger size?
Thanks,
Dave

You'll need to modify the preferred size of your component as you zoom.
Typically, I would set the component's preferred size to fit the zoomed image (ie at 0.5 zoom the width and hieght would both be double the original size) and then stuff it into a JScrollPane.
At the moment you set the preferred size initially but never change it, so your image is being clipped by the bounds of the component - it can't render outside its bounds so the component needs to be at least as large as the view.

How do i zoom out of the video?

Everytime i import a video clip into Adobe Premiere Pro Cs6 it automatically zooms into the video. How can i zoom out of the video, this is really bugging me. Sorry i just started using this yesturday. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of the Video Clips?
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of the Frame Size in your Sequence's Settings?
Those do not match, where they should, unless you have a very good reason for them to be different. One can Scale UP the Video to match, but that is usually going to degrade the Video quality.
Good luck,

How to Zoom Out

I'm using iMovie 7.1.4 to create a video that will include a slide show of photos with transitions, titles, short video clips, and music. I simply want to take a picture and either zoom in from the full shot or zoom out to the full shot. This is so basic and yet I can't find how to do it with iMovie08. Ken Burns only seems to allow me to select a small section of the photo and pan to a another section. Please help. I'm so desparate that I'm considering borrowing a Windows laptop and downloading Photostory. If this is not possible with iMovie08, could you suggest another program? Ultimately, the whole thing will run about 20 minutes and I want to put it on a DVD for general viewing. Help!

Yes. iMovie will not add the black border so that you can fully zoom a portrait photo in Ken Burns. You can add the black border yourself in a tool like Photoshop. Or if you are familiar with Automator, there is an Automator Action called "Pad Images" which will do this.

New Premiere user, 3 issues : zooming out, changing keyboard shortcuts, removing gain

Hi there,
Former FCP user here transitioning to Premiere, first time on this forum.
I have 3 separate issues when using Premiere cc or 2014 :
1/ When I try to zoom out using my tablet, I press 'z' to select the zoom tool, then hold the 'alt' key and click multiple times. But only several (one or two at most) clicks are taken into account, and after one or two clicks, the software seems to forget the alt key and starts zooming in. I'm aware of the 'minus' key shortcut on the keyboard, but a lot of times it would be much faster for me to do it this way. Is there a way to fix this ?
2/ I want to switch the hotkey "return" from "rendering effects" to "rendering selection". But when I try to hit 'return' in the shortcut window (after selecting the right action and getting the prompt box), it assumes I'm selecting 'Ok' and leaves... Any idea how I should do ?
3/ This one should be easier but I can't seem to find it : how do I remove the gain control line from the clips on the timeline ? I keep changing the audio gain when all I want to do is grab a clip.
Thanks a bunch !

Yes, I tried scrapping my preferences, but to no avail. I should perhaps have specified that my program runs in International English, but the keyboard is French. However, this is the first time using PS that this problem has arisen.

Auto zoom settings also applied for photo popup, very annoying! when u zoom out in popup, website also zooms out

http://blog.gsmarena.com/see-how-the-nokia-lumia-928-fares-against-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-in-low-light-conditions/
sice i have FULL HD screen i have to use page zoom. But check the above page, the photo popups as well are applied zoom. Very annoying and when zoomed out popup, the website as well zooms out.
Firefox stores the page zoom per domain, fine but how about photo pop ups?
zooming in a 5 MP, 10 MP camera output??

Firefox should try to fix a fault with the webpage?
Have you tried loading those images with Internet Explorer? Or Opera?
For me, IE 8 shows '''"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"''' - the image loads very large, like with Firefox 21, but the rest of the PHP page doesn't completely load and that error / warning message appears.
Opera 12 shows the large image with this message. '''"Could not connect to remote server''' 
Check that the address is spelled correctly, or try searching for the site. http://www.gsmarena.com/ads-blog-728.php3 "
Sorry - IMHO, Firefox is loading that image (PHP page) as instructed, the fault doesn't appear to me to be a fault with Firefox.
Why not wait a few hours for some more opinions about this issue. There are a couple of other support helper's on this forum who have vastly more experience with this "web stuff" than I have.
One "dirty" fix for that which I can share is to use a bookmarklet to make the image smaller on the screen, once the "page" is fully loaded. Simply click the bookmarklet to "halve" the image. 
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/pagedata.html 
'''zoom images out''' = which will "halve" the image
That will help you get around changing the zoom factor for the whole domain every time you view an image on that website.
And if that "half-size" isn't small enough you can edit the "Location" line of that bookmarklet to a "decimal fraction" that is usable for your display.
This is the full javascript code for that bookmarklet.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){%20function%20zoomImage(image,%20amt)%20{%20if(image.initialHeight%20==%20null)%20{%20/*%20avoid%20accumulating%20integer-rounding%20error%20*/%20image.initialHeight=image.height;%20image.initialWidth=image.width;%20image.scalingFactor=1;%20}%20image.scalingFactor*=amt;%20image.width=image.scalingFactor*image.initialWidth;%20image.height=image.scalingFactor*image.initialHeight;%20}%20var%20i,L=document.images.length;%20for%20(i=0;i<L;++i)%20zoomImage(document.images[i],.5);%20if%20(!L)%20alert("This%20page%20contains%20no%20images.");%20})();</nowiki></pre>
This part of that string, near the end - '''.5''' - is what halves that image. 
%20zoomImage(document.images[i],'''''.5''''');%20if%20( 
Edit that '''.5''' to .3 or .25 and see if that makes the image small enough to fit your screen.

Continuous forest line speeds and zooms out or view NOT, but should?

Here is my simple problem which I can not resolve.
I will try to make as a detailed description as possible as I can not figure out which step needs to be corrected.
I would like to create a landscape view as seen by someone on a sleigh ride down the hill.
It starts with a winter forest extreme close up then trees start to move to the left ever so slightly, then speed up down hill and then decelerate and zoom out into a thin line on the horizon while slowing down but still moving to the left of the screen.
The way I decided to create this scene:
I created a nice multi layered file in Illustrator with all the trees overlapping each other. The file is to the maximum artboard width allowed by Illustrator.
I imported this multi layered Illustrator file into After Effects as a Comp with separate layers.
I assigned slight movement in the layers from right to left at various speeds. It gives a dimension to the view as you see one line of trees passing behind another at slightly different speed. This step does not seem to create any problems.
I kept on building the continuous line of trees extending to the right by duplicating imported Illustrator layers until I reached the limit of After Effects Comp canvas size. I believe it was at either 30000 or 60000 pxls. The reason why I need trees so large is because at the beginning of the animation we see them at an extreme close up with all the leaves and branches visible. Then the forest line starts to move to the left and speeds up.
Eventually it speeds up and zooms out at the same time enough to reach its end on the right. By this time the trees are at 50% of the screen size. So I import my tree layers again and match them perfectly at the seam and assign speed and scale so it continues to move past the viewer to the left and zooms out into perspective.
And now everything goes wrong. I perfectly match the points of original tree line and the additional tree line. I see they nicely touch each other in the beginning of the movement and at the end.
However unexpectedly in the middle they start to overlap each other and move slightly faster. For example: Left end of second forest line touches the right end of first forest line at the beginning at 10 sec and touches it the same at the end at 20 sec. However at 15 sec it speeds up and jumps ahead the right end of the first forest line. I tried to fix it by making a key frame at 15 sec and aligning them again. It resulted it two smaller jumps at 12.5sec and 17.5sec. If I keep on keying between the frames the left end of the second forest line continues to make little jumps in between. If I try to adjust the zoom out part it again messes everything up. I did set up my anchor point to the left side of layer.
I thought the problem is with Scale, so I made layer 3D and started to reduce a Z dimension but got the same result. The layers jump on each other and it does not seem as one continuous movement.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM: I did assign Easy Ease, Ease In an Ease Out, so my acceleration and deceleration have nice and smooth motion. However I tried to match the speed and velocity in Key Frame options window (double click Alt on PC opens this dialog window) between the original and the additional forest lines.
I can not make this forest line long enough in a static window as I reached the width limitation of After Efffects canvas size. I need it very large as it starts at extreme close up and then zooms out to a and extreme horizon.
I can not make it a moving line and keep on patching it up as movement does not match and lines start to speed up between the key frames and overlap each other.
I though the problem was the combination of side ways right to left movement and zooming out motion (which I tried both ways: Scale in 2D layer and Z Dimension in 3D Layer) but I can not match even the linear speed of the forest lines from right to left. Perhaps there is a problem with how I am trying to match it.
I will even rebuild the entire project if someone can list steps how to make one continuous line of patched up elements in sync, so they seem as one continuous image line.

Hard to really grasp the situation without a few screen grabs, but some general thoughts:
If all your elements are vector art from Illustrator, scale shouldn't be a factor. Set your Illustrator layers to Continuously Rasterize, and you can move as close as you like to the layers with the camera and they will still be sharp. Thus, you can work at an overall smaller scale, and not go beyond AE's 30000 pixel limitation. Which also means you won't need to frame-match two environments.
It sounds to me like you are overcomplicating the job. Personally, I wouldn't combine camera movements and zooms - the potential that varied focal lengths will upset something is too great. I'd just do everything with camera movement, using the X axis for left-right movement, and the Z axis to move closer or further toward your subjects. After Effects cameras mimic the way real world cameras work, so it's best to approach the job like a real world situation. Build the world, then animate the camera moving within that world.
Remember that you can use Precomposed/Nested compositions to greatly streamline your work. Make a clump of 10 or so trees in one comp, then use that pre comp nested multiple times within your main comp. Don't forget to collapse transformations of the pre comps.

How do you zoom out from a fixed point?

Okay, I'm not sure if this is possible, but...
My first video clip in a scene is pretty boring, since there's no action, just a guy typing at his keyboard. To add in some motion, I'd like to have it start out so that all you can see are his eyes, but then it zooms out to show the whole scene.
So what I'd want to do is somehow set his eyes as a fixed point and then zoom out from there. However, I have no idea how to go about doing this, since I don't even know how to zoom out. I know how to zoom in, but not out.
Could someone please help me?

Best way to "zoom out" - have an object appear further than shooted?

I need to shoot a clip on a green screen where 3 people will be faking walking.
Then I will superpose it on a desert background pic (have it).
As I do not have a large room, (and do not wish to have a 1 sq. mile of green screen)... : is there a way (effect) in Premiere that would allow me to "zoom out" the shot - in other words, to have those 3 people smaller than the real shot so they seem to come from far in the desert ?
(Let's face that the further I can be from the subject with the camera will be approx 12-15 feet).
Thanks,
Rob
