Well, you can link stills using AMA but they are squashed to the current video format frame size and aspect ratio is wrecked. As I said before, without going to Boris, try Marquee. Open a Marquee title, File>Import Image. You get the full image and can do moves and zooms. You can also rotate so it's possible to do an X axis rotation and fly over a map, for instance. It is a bit tedious watching it render out an unwanted alpha but it is possible to do a frame sequence export (hats off to Barry Stevens who showed me that trick).

This is an absurdly simple and important function for informational filmmaking. Given the importance of stills to my workflow, that would be a deal breaker for Media Composer. I considered Pan & Zoom to be an annoying but bearable compromise versus the FCP and Adobe paradigms.People have mentioned Frameflex frequently in this context. While Frameflex functions similarly, I don't see any way of loading stills into Frameflex yet. If Avid does reach the point of AMA linking stills, making them available to Frameflex, that could solve the problem, but I don't see this yet.The simplest alternative I see right now is Avid FX, and that's not simple at all.Cheers,todTod HopkinsHillmann & Carr Inc.2233 Wisconsin Ave., NWWashington, DC 20007202-342-0001
