Avid MC 4.0 Pan and Zoom Problems
Hi Folks,
I have a problem using the Avid Pan&Zoom effect. I just started a documentary on the new Avid 4.0 running on a MacPro. The whole show is shot on SD Digital Beta and to be delivered the same way. Everytime I´m trying use the Avid Pan&Zoom Effect my result is a black recording window. The only way to get it working is by changing the Project Type to 1080I50 do the effect and then return to SD. This can’t be the way to go I hope. I’ve been using the Pan&Zoom effect for years without a problem. Is this a known bug in the new version or am I doing something wrong? The stills to be used are all on the designated raid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

4.05 here. I did an SD project with a few P&Zs with no problems. But a recent 1080 timeline with only 2 of them gave me fits. Only way around was to render and mixdown immediately once I adjusted settings to my liking.

Thanks for your fast answer David. Strange that you are having the problem in a HD Timeline which I have in SD. ALAS for the ways of Avid… I guess I’ll have to do some more research on that.
If someone else has any input it would be great to hear.Hans

Hans,
I have been working in SD with 4.0.5 on (ugh) Vista and have not had any issues. Check the size of the images. If you have new, huge megapixel images, try scaling them down to 2x your finished size (1440x for SD). I know there have been issues with large images and RAM.
