MC 4.0.5 Pan & Zoom Woes
Is anyone else having problems with P&Zs in MC4? They flat out refuse to render with other effects when rendering in a range. They come up black, then after opening and closing the find picture window, movements are erased. Am I going crazy or is this simply a new feature?

David,
I was working on a clients system (Vista, MC 4.0.5) and had some strange P&Z ‘features’. If I copied the base effect, dropped it onto a new clip, replaced the image through the find picture window and viewed the effect – it would never render as full resolution. I changed the settings so the Avid would see a change – still nothing.
I did not have the movements erased, but my base effect was basically worthless and was better off just replacing the effect. So maybe this is saving you a step. 🙂

I had similar pan & zoom rendering issues a while back. One thing worked most of the time: I found that if I just rendered the P&Z effect, not the range, AND only rendered it from the render icon that is in the effect parameters window (i.e., down on the bottom of the window) AND only rendered in “green dot mode,” not green/yellow, the P&Z effect would render properly .. usually. (and chew gum)
Sometimes that didn’t work when there were other layers, and transitions, and I’d have to isolate the P&Z and do a video mixdown, then plop it back into the sequence. Obviosuly, not the workflow that Mr. Avid intended.

Maybe Mr. Avid will fix that in MC 5.0
