![]() ![]() This lets you chose how much work you want Avid to put into rendering the picture and the animation. One thing you do want to pay very close attention to is the "filter" menu. Once that's done, you can chose how zoomed in you want to be, whether you want it to move accross the picture, animation keyframes, and a bunch of other stuff. ![]() At the very top left of this menu, there's a small icon to the left of the words "Avid Pan & Zoom." Push that and you can then tell Avid what image file you want to use. Then highlight it and bring up your "Effects Editing" menu. Once that's there, go ahead and delete the text effect on it in the timeline and drag the "Pan and Zoom" effect onto the file. I personally like to create a title called "image placeholder" and use that for all my images. Once you've got a big enough file, it's time to bring it into Avid.įirst create a placeholder video on your timeline. This should give you something you can work with. I can't really tell you everything you need to know about Photoshop but a quick way to get a decent high-rez image is just to increase the dimensions in the "Image Size" box under the "Image menu." Once it's big enough, apply sharpening filter and a noise/artifact reduction filter. ![]() ![]() You can either scan the picture in at a higher resolution or, if that isn't possible take it into Photoshop and enlarge it there since Photoshop should have better tools for making a higher-rez version (better sharpening, noise reduction, and artifact removers). So if you're editing at 720p then you want a picture that is bigger than 1280x720 if you plan to zoom. Now, what I think Larry means as to making a high rez version is the following: If you want to do zooms and pans, you need a picture that is going to be a higher resolution than your current video resolution so you don't end up with some pixelated mess. Pan and Zoom is pretty much the same thing as Pan and Scan in Avid Xpress Pro but, if you're using MC 3.0, it should be called Pan and Zoom. ![]()
