  How to zoom into a still picture of a movie, and play it from that point on.

  Posted by Alex Pacheco on December 11, 2009 at 12:30 am

  So I’m in the process in making a promotional video for my COD:MW2 clan. I want to do an effect like the one I did in the wallpaper I made:

  I can make the pictures reflecting on a floor fine, but I want to do a “zoom in” effect on one picture and play a video. ie. A guy holding a gun, zooms in to the shot, he runs with the gun, zoom out leaving a screenshot in a sense of him right where it stopped. Then the camera would pan over to another picture and continue the effect.

  There will be a bunch of tall, thin columns like in the wallpaper scattered about. When it zooms into one, I’m thinking about just doing a flash and continuing the movie clip. After it’s finished, I’ll pause it, and zoom out to reveal the paused screen in a new column… You following me camera guy?

  Any help?
