key frame problem
Thought I figured out key framing but no…. I have several pictures on the same time line. The first one I want to bring into the frame, which I can get it to do with pan/crop and keyframes, however, the next picture I don’t want any movement, I just want to pan/crop it to the size I need and place it in a particular part of the frame…but every time I try it gives me motion on playback. I have tried turning the sync cursor key off, or keeping it on, either way…..do I have to use separate time lines each time I want to bring in a different photo? Thanks for the help.

Also I am trying to do this; size down a jpeg to place it at a certain point within the frame, and then be able to focus on one part of that sized down picture and zoom in and out and give the picture movement without the frame size that I sized it down to, changing. I have accomplished this several times, but not by design, more by accident. When I try to do it, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. What are the proper steps? Thanks.

If I remember correctly, with Track Motion you’d have to use a seperate track for each photo. But with Key framing, just reset your key frames for each photo.
In other words, do what your want for the first photo, then for the second photo insert a key frame at the beginning and set that to the original size or want you want. You have to right click each keyframe to set your setting for that key.

When you open Pan/Crop, make sure you select the first keyframe before making changes. If the cusor is somewhere else on the Pan/Crop timeline, it will automatically add a new keyframe at that location as soon as you change any setting.

Thanks for the comments guys. I need to play with it some more. It seems sometimes when I put the cursor on the timeline at the mid point of the picture, I see the picture full size. Then I open pan/crop and resize and reposition the picture, then when I play it back, the entire time it plays back, the picture is at the size and placed as I wanted. Then another time when I do the exact same thing (or at least thought I was), when I play it back, it starts out as it’s original size, and moves to the new size and position. I’m sure it has something to do with key frames, but haven’t figured out what I’m doing…or not doing… Shouldn’t I be able to start out at any point on a picture, open pan/crop, and be able to re-size the photo as desired without having to set key frames? If so, I must be setting key frames without knowing it. ):
