Steve is totally on the money. Avid FX is way more capable than the other options. After avoiding it for years, I've started using it, and it's very powerful.
Judging from comments and questions in online forums, it seems like 85 percent of the editors never fire up AvidFX. Many of the places I freelance at don't even bother to serialize it. This should be saying something to Avid....most editors HATE the Boris interface and don't want to bother learning it..BUT...we still want to do these effects WITHIN Media Composer. No plugins, preferably.
PS: As cool as an ADO was in its day, you were still stuck blowing up an SD image with a huge loss of resolution. But the motion and acceleration were so awesome, we could convince ourselves we didn't notice.

Pan and Zoom has been terrible from the day it was introduced. I also used to use Moving Picture, but when I upgraded to MC7 and 64 bit, I didn't want to pay for it again, since it was only marginally better than P&Z. I started using Avid FX. The learning curve is quite a bit higher than the others, but it's a much more powerful program, especially for something simple like moves on still images. Very similar to After Effects in terms of compositing multiple images, applying filters, etc. And you get real rotation with XYZ axis, etc.
Best part... it's still bundled with the system, so you're not paying extra for it.Good Luck,Steve Pomerantz
