how to pan and zoom a still?

[Vincent Rosati]

First, make sure your image is the correct aspect ratio. If it’s a square pixel image you’ll need to resample it to display properly.
If that’s the case, try using the templates at the bottom of this page…

As far as motion & zoom control, You’ll have to use kayframe animation.
I’d apply Video Effect/Distort/Transform to the clip. Than go into the Effect Controls tab, position the still and add keyframes to the Position and Scale parameters, scrub down the timeline a little bit and add more keyframes to the same parameters and reposition and zoom the still.
Now, when you scrub through the timeline the clip should be animated.
If you need more help, let us know.
