Why does Pan and Zoom mess up my timeline

Please forgive my ignorance as I am relatively new to this.
I just about have a finished video which include video clips and still images. I just went to add a Pan and Zoom effect to a still image and when I hit done it messed up my timeline - See below
First picture is the finished movie
Second picture you can see I added a Pan and zoom to the still image the marker is on
I can see the Pan and Zoom effecting the track it's on but why does it effect multiple tracks and can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Looks like Premiere Elements 12. On what computer operating system. Just in case we need to get into version specific details.
But this looks like an Premiere Elements issue in general.
Use of the Premiere Elements Pan and Zoom Tool results in the increased duration for the still to which the pan and zoom effect has
been applied.. The extent of the increased duration depends on how many frames you added to the effect. That was a just in case mention, you may have
known all that already.
I point that out since the increased duration of your still probably triggered the chain reaction in all parts of the Timeine.
There are various maneuvers to control disturbances of the existing Timeline when a new component is added. In this case, at this time, I am not sure what triggered your particular chain of events. But, please look at the following as a possible control of the situation that you described.
Select all at one time the content that you want to stay together, click anywhere in the selection and select Group. You can ungroup
this group later if you want. The individual components of the Group will move as one until you ungroup. To make the selection of
all the clips going into the Group, draw a rectangle with the mouse cursor to select those clips.
Another thought might be to do the still pan and zoom in an isolated unused portion of the Timeline and then move it into place in the
existing Timeline, holding down the Ctrl or Alt key as you make the placement.
Please consider and then let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thank you.

  • Why does pan and zoom create a gap in the video?

    I am using pan and zoom to move around still pictures with Premiere Elements 10.0.
    When I create the frames and pans in the picture and return to the timeline, PE has inserted a blank gap after the next cut in the video. The pictures are on a separate video track. The gap is just gray and I can't delete and close the gap. When I right-click the gap the Delete and Close Gap popup button is grayed out and cannot be clicked. I'm being very careful to make all of the hold durations plus the pan durations for all frames add up to be the exact length of the original still picture I'm using. Nothing I try seems to get around this problem.
    Any suggestions will be greatly apprecieated.
    Thanks.

    I do not recall reading of a Bug in the program, that would create a gap. It would be more likely, that something is being done in the editing, that is creating the gap.
    Having a Title on a Video Track "above" the Clips (Video, or Still), is the normal method of doing an overlay Title, that will appear above the Clips, and display as a superimposition of the Title over the Clip.
    Now, when editing, one can control how the editing operation affects existing Clips on the Timeline. For instance, if one wishes to edit, or add material, and have that "ripple" all the existing material, then that is the default editing function. If they, instead, wish to have the edit, or the additional material "replace" Frames in the existing material, then this is done by holding down the Ctrl modifier key. It all depends on what the user requires to happen.
    Good luck,

  • Why does 'Minimize' and 'Zoom' appear twice in the Window menu? They appear under the rule, where all the open windows are listed.

    Running FF 6.02 on Mac OS 10.6.8.
    Window menu reads:
    Minimize
    Zoom
    Minimize
    Zoom
    [open window 1]
    [open window 2, etc.]

    Thanks for your response. However, I see no mention of "layer-xxxxxx" appearing in the Window menu on the Mac menu bar in Firefox ''and'' that link says it only applies to Windows and Linux. May I ask what led you to that theory? Thanks...

  • The motion on a pan and zoom over a still is at times a tad shaky.  What might I be doing wrong?

    I'm currently evaluating FPC X vs Premiere Pro.  With one exception FPC X has Premiere beaten.  My test project is a slide show in which some images have pan and zoom applied.  The general formula I follow is to establish the shot at the iinitial position and scale.  Then move to the ending position and scale, and hold that for a second.  On some shots the movement wobbles during the pan.  I've no extreneous keyframes and I've redone a few slides several times with the same result.   I'd really like to use FCP X, the UI is really crisp and it's less then half the price but I can apply the same fx and they work smorothly. I hope I'm doing something wrong, any advice?   If I decide FPC X should I go the extra $50 and get Motion5? Does it work better?

    If the images fill the screen, then Tom's suggestion to keyframe the crop function is clearly the easiest way to deal with it.
    Otherwise, I can confirm that my earlier suggestion to change the interpolation at each keyframe from "smooth" to "linear" avoids the wobbling.
    I did a small test by having a picture move horizontally, then stopping for a while at the right edge, and then move down and out of the frame. Like predicted, it moved up before it started down. Changing the interpolation to linear solved the issue.

  • Pan and Zoom-I get a warning that my system does not support OpenGL

    I'm using PSE 8 on a Windows 7 64 bit system.  Whenever I view my photos in full screen mode and try to change the transitions to pan and zoom, I get a warning that my system does not support OpenGL.  I have an ATI Radeon HD 5770, updated to the latest driver, and I believe that does support OpenGL.  If I ignore the warning and select pan and zoom anyway, the slideshow cycles through hyper fast then locks up.
    Any idea what is going on?
    Thanks.

  • 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/

  • 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 Pan and Zoom Limit?

    I am trying to use Pan and Zoom on an image that is already scaled up nearly to the full size of iPad screen. I have enlarged the image to zoom in by 300% (2000x3000px) with a poster image of the original size. When I uploaded it to the iPad, the zoomed image appears to be restricted to know more than 10-20% larger than the original image.
    I have also tried re-scaling the image to a much smaller size and it seems to work perfectly, does this mean there a maximum limit to the Pan and Zoom feature?
    Adam

    The limit to a pan and zoom image is the 72 pt effective ppi of the image. You can use the Info panel in InDesign to see the actual ppi and the effective ppi of a scaled image. But rather than messing around with that, the easier approach is to use Save for Web & Devices in Photoshop to create your source image in the maximum dimensions, such as 2000 x 3000. Then you place that image and crop it to determine the view area. You can scale the image to determine the initial view area.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pull out tab pan and zoom option grayed out

    I've been trying to follow this great tutorial about pull out tabs, but have one issue. I've just updated InDesign 5.5 Folio Builder to v.22 and the producer tools to the most recent release on August 7. Here is what I've been doing.
    Create an unassigned box for the tab. Create an unassigned box for background. Create a text box and add text.
    Group all of them together.
    Create an image box (container frame) that is larger than my grouped content and paste the grouped content into it.
    When I select the image box (container frame) and select Pan and Zoom, all options are greyed out.
    If I clear the content from the image box and put a photo in it, I can use the Pan and Zoom options.
    Any ideas on what I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks!
    Tutorial I'm following.
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/digital-publishing/pull-out-sliders-and-trays/

    Thanks, for the record, I updated my steps to show the correct process.
    Create an unassigned box for the tab. Create an unassigned box for background. Create a text box and add text. Create an unassigned box at the top left to "hold" the tab position to the right side of your document.
    Group all of them together.
    Create an image box (container frame) that is larger than the grouped content and paste the grouped content into it.
    Select the image box (container frame) and choose Scrollable Frame with the options - Horizontal, check Hide for Scroll Indicators, and select Upper Left for Initial Content Position.
    Thanks again Bob!

  • Initial view on Pan and Zoom jumping

    Hi there
    I'm updating a document and wanted to adjust the iniital view of a pan and zoom feature. Now when i tap to activate it, it jumps to a different location and zoom level that where i set the image in the content box. Any idea why this might be happening?
    thanks!

    just noticed it's only with the vertical orientation. horizontal works fine!

  • Pan and Zoom Effect, which PE version introduced it?

    I like my PE 3.0 but it does not seem to offer the Pan and Zoom effect. Or am I just not seeing it.  Does anyone know which later version introduced it? I know 8.0 has it, but when did it come along?  The bundled version of Photoshop 5.0 it came with has a pan slide show, just discovered it.
    Also, I am familiar with keyframes, would this be helpful with 3.0 pan? or do I need a newer version.  Any tutorials good for this?
    thank you

    Pan & Zoom is available in all versions that offer Keyframing on the fixed Effects>Motion>Scale (Zoom) and Motion>Position (Pan). What might have been introduced would be Presets to do those with "one button." Do not know when those came into being. I do not use them in PrE 4, and would not in PrE 8, or 9, as I want control, and also the ability to determine what MY subject is, in an image. No amount of AI can do that for me, so a simple Preset stands about a zero chance of doing exactly what I want.
    At some point, PSE added the automatic Random Pan & Zoom. Again, were I doing a slideshow in it, I would not apply such, as i would Keyframe Motion>Position and Motion>Scale in PrE.
    In PrE 3, I feel strongly that you have the Effects Control Panel (accessed via Edit Effects for a Clip/still), and the ability to Keyframe both Motion>Scale and Motion>Position. This allows one adjust the parameters for those Effects over time, i.e. create a Zoom, and create a Pan. Other than the fact that you do these by hand, by eye and by mind, but with ultimate control, you have the features - just not automatically applied via a single button.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
