    I saw a sweet effect the other day where in the middle of a video it paused and zoomed in on part of the video. I think he was using SV6 so does anyone know how to do this?

    It was like the video paused and then zoomed in.

    Without knowing what the clip looked like: To pause, you can use a velocity envelope. To zoom, you can use Pan/Crop or Track Motion.

    Note also this effect is much easier if you start with higher res video (eg HDV). If you try to zoom very much into SD video, it can look awful.

    Of course, there are tricks to get around this.
