  Zooming in to infinity – “in your face” effect

  Posted by Ron Androtti on July 12, 2011 at 8:42 am

  What is the best way to zoom in to text or a PIP which has the effect of traveling towards you and passes through you? IOW, the text or image is propelled straight towards you until it dissipates.

  Thanks.

  – Using track motion will make you image blurry when you zoom in as it is considered as project size even though you original picture is bigger.
  – Using pan/crop will keep the image at its original size, so less blurry when you zoom in. In that case the picture will never go “through” the screen. You should either use a fade out or a composite envelop to simulate it.
  Of course if your original footage are at project size, both method will give you the same result.

  Here’s a clip of the effect. The very end is what I’m after:

  For this effect you only need to use the cross effect transition at the end of you clip

  In this case it was done at a transition point. I’d like to do in the body of an event with text and images. Know what I mean?

  You can split your event where you want the zoom in and put the transition there

  [Guillaume Jeffrey] “You can split your event where you want the zoom in and put the transition there”

  You could also just add a Sony Flash transition to the end of the text event. Transitions don’t need two events. Just drag the upper right corner of any event and it will make a fade transition that you can then apply transition FX to.
