  • how to ease resize scaling

    Posted by Lori Miranda on December 29, 2009 at 4:21 pm

    Hi there,

    I have been trying to make an image scale in and then move slowly across the screen. I used the resize effect and then used keyframes. All looks good except for when the image changes movement according to the keyframe it is quite rough. Is there a way to ease in and out of the keyframe?

    Also, I know that avid pan and zoom would be a much better effect for what I want to do but I can’t figure the darn thing out. I realize that I have to import my image through the effects palette but then I can’t put it over another image. Plus I don’t seem to have control over the movements. Help!

    Thanks,
    Lori

    Lori,
    I linked to the Avid Advanced Effects Guide below:
    https://cdn.pinnaclesys.com/SupportFiles/attach/AdvancedFXGuide_4.0_8.0.pdf‘>
    https://cdn.pinnaclesys.com/SupportFiles/attach/AdvancedFXGuide_4.0_8.0.pdf

    Jump to the bottom of page 116. This section is “Advanced Keyframe Interpolation Options”

    This should explain to you everything you need to know, or for the bacis answer look below:

    Controlling Parameter Changes at Keyframes

    How an effect parameter changes at a keyframe is governed by which keyframe interpolation
    option you select. Interpolation refers to the method the Avid editing application uses to
    calculate the rate of change and the relative smoothness of change.

    To select an interpolation option:

    Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+Shift+click (Macintosh) the keyframe graph or keyframe track for the parameter with which you are working, and select one of the following:

    – Shelf
    – Linear
    – Spline
    – Bézier

    If you don’t want to get into Advanced Keyframes yet (definitely do when you get the chance though), just adjust the acceleration parameter of your keyframes. It will help ease in and out of your movements.

    I’ll be working late.
