  Use the pan and zoom effect. Go ahead and import your pix, resized to Avid resolution. These are for reference only. Lay them in your timeline and apply the pan and zoom effect. Open the effect editor and click on the small box in the upper left hand corner. Navigate to the ORIGINAL files, picking the one that matches your original. I’m not sitting in front of my Avid, but I use ‘display target’. I also apply a gaussian filter as well. It smooths out some of the chunkies.
