Ken Burns Effect
Is there a better effect than the pan and zoom effect in Avid for the Ken Burns effect.
I have a ton of stills and find that the pan and zoom isn’t that smoothe..
any suggestions would be great..
Thanks,
Matt

Pan and Zoom is useless compaired to AE.
Man, you can do so much more without losing the quality avid tosses aside. You can mask parts and principals and animate them slightly different, bring a whole new depth to your otherwise boring pan and zoomed flat stills.
Pan and zoom is for down and dirty quickies for people who have to split in 10 minutes with a tape. If you have timje to make something look cool, hop into after effects and create.

If you don’t have AE or have the time to learn it, look into getting Moving Picture and/or Moving Parts.
It’s much better than Avid’s P&Z effect. I used it constantly when I did news promotions.

to this day, I take it for granted that every Avid editor uses AE as the DVE.
We all had to nback in the day and Avid’s DVE just hasn’t evolved enough for that to change, imo.
AE is open in every session I do and I don’t consider it by choice. -
got it.. just wanted to make sure before I started all of these moves in after effect there wasn’t a better way in avid..
thanks,

post up if you run into snags along the way, man. Again, I look at AE as part of Avid so this aint off tpoic in any way.
Post your reults too and explain how ya did it to help others.
To me, it’s creative and fun.
