Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Avid Pan & Zoom - can't make linear path work

 

Yes, it does work but it is fiddly. You need to check that your frame AR is 16:9 at all keyframes as this seems to unlock sometimes. Also, I'm in a 1080i/50 project and the moves play interlaced (updating from field to field) in real time but when rendered, thay play progressive! I hope the following links work:

Thank you Mike, John & Roger for your replies.

Roger - I would be delighted if you successfully make my 'football team photo' example work, using either Pan & Zoom or Frame Flex. Path: straight line. Speed/Motion: ease in/out. It is important that the zoom starts WAY off centre for maximum effect.

Also, Frameflex doesn't seem to work on jpgs smaller than the raster (when you're making docs you use whatever you're given).

In the bin, Use Source Settings on the clip and you'll find that the Image Aspect Ratio is seen correctly. Set reformat to Pillarbox/Letterbox. That's step one. Edit the graphic into the sequence and go to the Effect Editor. Frameflex will show up. Use Size and Positon and you'll find you can do straight moves (no wavering like in P&Z). I normally set interpolation to Linear and add keyframes at the same spot in all the parameters I plan to adjust before I change anything. Speed? The distance between the keyframes and also adjustable using different interpolation modes.

I've been chasing Avid about this for about 2 years, and I've just tried it in again in Mac MC 8.5.2 for both Pan & Zoom and Frameflex and they are STILL not working (they promised me that they are working on Frameflex instead of Pan & Zoom).
 
All I want is this (for example): A football team photo: off-centre zoom from the person in the back row on the edge of the photo to reveal the full team photo. Standard documentary-making stuff. I want a linear path - and an ease in/ease out in terms of speed.
 
It doesn't work in Pan & Zoom, still - you get the crazy fly all-over-the-place path.


And in Frameflex, you have to guess the aspect ratio of the photo - it doesn't 'know' what the pixel dimensions are. Also, when I changed the last Size keyframe, it affected the aspect ratio of the first Size keyframe too. And, this scenario doesn't give you a linear path - you get the crazy fly all-over-the-place path - like Pan & Zoom. And to cap it all there is no speed control! AAAAAH! (all they appear to have done is added a rudimentary 'rotate' control).
 
Or am I missing something in Frameflex? Is there a hidden 'speed' function? (used to be called stripey string in Henry). All I can see is Position and Size - and if you meddle with Bezier curves you're just affecting Position & Size, not Speed. Anyone? I give up.
