Pan & Zoom

[Bret Williams]

Set a keyframe at the beginning, set a keyframe at the end. Set position and scale on first keyframe, set position and scale on last keyframe. Render to Avid codec. That’s all there is to it.

Can’t Avid do this now without After Effects?

[Filip Vandueren]

Often it makes more sense to animate the Anchor-point, evnthough it gives the same relative result: the picture moves.
But when you add scaling keyframes, it makes much more sense to still have the image scale around the center of the view instead of from some point that’s offscreen.

try for yourself.

If you’re going to ease in and ease out anchor points is the way to go. And if you’re going to do more than 2 keyframes. Otherwise, a linear start here end there is the same thing.

If you really want to be authentic, you could do it in 3D space with a virtual camera actually panning and scanning the photo. 🙂
