  Zoom Keyframes Continued Through Multiple Clips in Premiere CS6

  Posted by Steve Huang on October 8, 2016 at 10:12 am

  I’m doing a time-lapse with an image sequence as one long clip.

  This long clip is cut into 3 clips, A – B – C with cross dissolve transitions between.

  I would like to do a zoom out using keyframes starting at frame 1 of A at 100%
  The zoom should go to the end of clip C to 75%

  I tried nesting to no avail. I’ve hacked a solution by exporting then applying the keyframe zoom to the exported clip… very kludgy.

  Any suggestions on working with the original A-B-C clips?

  Thanks in advance (and I hope I made myself understandable)

  Use the transform effect on an adjustment layer

  Thank you for your response, Ann.

  Unfortunately, it didn’t work because I neglected to mention that my original clip is 6k while my sequence is 4k meaning I have unseen parts of the image beyond the 4k boundaries I can work with.

  The transform solution you suggested leads to black borders at 75% SCALE of original:
  
  This does not expose the full 6k worth of clip available.

  Whereas the solution I’d like is the unseen area of original clip exposed (here at 75% ZOOM):
  

  For context and hopefully for clarity, here is a screenshot of the 4k sequence at normal 100% (excess 6k part of clip extending beyond 4k sequence border is unseen):
  
  This is the sequence I’d like to keyframe zoom from 100% to 75% (while always filling the 4k frame) which would be easy if there were no cross dissolve transition.

  Hopefully the screenshots have clarified things a bit.
