Please: More help with Pan/Crop or…?
Hi,
I’m working on creating a video of a photo album, made in 1919-1932. It has the story of an Air Force Pilot. Excellent pictures, followed by beautiful hand-written “descriptions” below each.
I have scanned the photos; and I have also scanned and cropped the “descriptions”. All jpg.
The photos will fit reasonably well in the normal 4:3 format of the Video. But I would dearly like to include the hand-written descriptions, at the bottom of the “safe area” where one would normally place “captions.”
The “descriptions”, as mentioned, are .jpg, whose size varies, but most are probably on a 4:1 ratio, that is four times as wide as high.
Placing the “descriptions” in a higher video track, they land right in the middle (on top of) the photos on the lower track. So you view a photo, and right in its middle, horizontally, is the “description” hiding the middle of the photo. I tried event pan/crop but can’t figure out how to move those thin strips of descriptions to the bottom of the safe area, on the combined preview.
Any suggestions would be most welcome!

If you’ve got the descriptions in a GENERATED MEDIA box simply goto the next tab which is Placement (If my memory serves me-my machine is off right now) and simply pull the box down to where you want it.

Thanks, Don. These are not “generated media” such as Text, which I have learned how to move about. These are .jpg photos of hand-written descriptions ~ hence their personal charm. Maybe I am not understanding something…

Place them in the frame using track motion.

Thank you, Yep, track motion did it. It’s a confusing misnaming of the feature, I think.
