Pan Zoom Pro plug-in: reports?
Posted by John Burgan on August 6, 2005 at 3:17 pmFor those of us not yet working with Motion: any users out there with (positive) experience of this plug-in with FCP 4.5?

I haven’t tried it, but it looks great at first blush. I really like the image well concept. And heck, for 49 bucks, how could you go wrong? If this thing acts to exponentially scale it will be teriffic. Think I’ll try it out.

This thing is PHENOMINAL!!! I’m almost speechless. If you use a lot of stills, this is essenttial.

It’s truly amazing, it does silky smooth moves, has all kinds of speed controls and EXPONENTIAL SCALE! Tons of easing controls and, a built in deflicker filter that puts the ones in FCP to shame.

August 6, 2005 at 7:51 pmI have not used it in FCP, but I have in FCE. It’s outstanding. The best motion control for the price, especially for large scale images, or multiple motion paths, for which FCP has always been completely hopeless. If you’re doing motion control of any complexity on images at twice or larger frame resolution, and you want to work within FCP, or FCE for that matter, you absolutely have to use this plugin, if nothing else try it to see what it can. Then try and do the same thing in FCP. You’ll never look back.

After only a couple of hours with it I am so totally sold, one thing I just found out is that since there’s no keyframes transitions don’t have anything to screw up, they’re flawless! I haven’t been this excited about a plugin since Graeme came out with Gfilm.

Anyone using it in 5 ?
Trouble?
Looks like a neat plug-in but I’ve already moved up to FCP5.Dan

I put it in FCP5.2 and it is very happy in there. While I was over at Lyric I also noticed a free download for a Shadow/Highlight filter for balancing underexposed foregrounds, pretty cool!
