BCC 8 has a Pan and Zoom function that works relatively simply although the transform A and B functions aren't particularly intuitive to me. It can do simple moves relatively easy but I get a bit confused when it starts with it's own animation choice when you drop the effect on in certain modes. It's been a while since I used it so my terminology etc... may be a bit off. I believe it appeared in BCC 6 or 7 back in 32bit land.

That's deeply disturbing. 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 20007202-342-0001On May 15, 2014, at 4:58 PM, 'Pat Horridge' pat@...

Frameflex can do some of the work but it's not great as no rotate.
