Parent track motion
I have nine stills of good resolution, each on a separate track, and each track reduced in size so that all 9 stills can be seen as PiPs. I want to zoom in to one and have all increase in size as I’m zooming, so I made 8 of them compositing children of the track, call it track 1, I want to zoom in to.
The PROBLEM: when I zoom in with composite track motion (that sneaky little button on the left side of the track header), I lose resolution on the images, even just going back to normal size. If I zoom into any indivual track (without the compositing hookups) they look fine.
I could do this the slow way by individually adjusting the track motion of each individual track, but I thought that this was one of the things compositing track motion was for.
thanks,

This is normal. What you are doing is zooming into the smaller video frame instead of back to the original full size individual frames. You need to zoom out on the individual pieces to maintain full resolution (i.e. undo your initial zoom which created the PIP)

Here’s a tip:
First — make sure you’ve saved your current project. Second, do a “save as” into a new project and delete everything but your area with the pictures you’ve described. Now change your project settings to be a larger size. (Like 1440×960). Now, setup your zooms in that project, and then nest that .veg into your original project.
You can also just setup positions in the larger project, then do pan/crop on them (directly on the nested .veg) in the 720×480 project.Experiment a bit with this and I think you’ll find the results you are looking for.
