Removing pan crop from an event

[Danny Hays]

Just uncheck the effect in the effect chain.
Hope this helps, Danny Hays

That would work for an effect, but not pan and crop… or am I missing something here?

Hi Phil,

Try CTRL+Z to bring you back a previous step.

That’s OK for a just-done setting, but unfortunately not practical if I come back many edits later. I just can’t help thinking the answer is staring me in the face!!

Phil,

Let’s see if this help’s out:

Undoing and Redoing Edit Operations
Ctrl+Z
Edit Menu
Ctrl+Y

Undo and redo give you the freedom to experiment with your project. Edit to your heart’s content. If you change your mind, you can always undo your changes. If you change your mind again, you can redo the undone edits (whew!).

For example, if you accidentally deleted a track, simply choose Undo to restore the track.

You can perform an unlimited number of undos, so you can restore the project to any state since the last Save command.

——————————————————————————–

What do you want to do?
Undo the last action performed
From the Edit menu, choose Undo or click the Undo button .

Undo a series of actions
Click the arrow next to Undo button . A list of the most recent actions that you can undo is displayed.

Select the action you want to undo. If the action does not appear in the list, use the scroll bar to scroll through the list. The selected action and all actions above it are reversed.

Reverse the last Undo performed
From the File menu, choose Redo, or click the Redo button .

If you later decide that you did not want to reverse an undo, click the Undo button .

Reverse a series of Undo actions
When you reverse an Undo, you also reverse all Undo actions above it in the list.

Click the arrow next to Redo button . A list of the most recent actions that you can redo is displayed.

Select the action you want to redo. If the action does not appear in the list, use the scroll bar to scroll through the list. The selected action and all actions above it are redone.

Undo all edits
From the Edit menu, choose Undo All to reverse all edits in the undo history.

You can view the edit history by clicking the arrow next to Undo button .

Clear the edit history
From the Edit menu, choose Clear Edit History to clear all of the entries in the Undo/Redo History list for the current project.

The edit history is also cleared when you close your project.

You will not be able undo or redo any previous changes after clearing the history. Don’t forget the (History) left and right arrows in the tool bar.

I hope this helps,

Ralph Hajik

I understand where you are at, and I worship Ctr-Z like any other editor, but repeated undos undo everything. Sure I will get back to the starting point for one particular edit, but all other edits will be lost too, and I want to keep them.
All I want to do is revert one event somewhere earlier in the timeline back to a non pan and crop state. Looks like the simplest way is to delete the event and replace it from the media bin. I was hoping there might be a way to select the event and press a magic “Remove Pan and Crop” button 🙂
Now I think of it, delete and replace isn’t so hard a thing to do. Thanks for making me think Ralph! One of the reasons I love this forum.

It’s not difficult to remove pan/crop, but there’s no shortcut as far as I know. Just open the pan/crop window for the affected event, delete any keyframes you’ve added (so that you then have only 1 keyframe at the beginning of the event), then select that keyframe, right-click on the video in pan/crop and click “Restore”.

Yes, this is the correct procedure to remove Pan/Crop. Just do as Matt suggests… right-click and Restore.

Hi Phil,

With the pan/crop open for that event and you have a number of nodes or keyframes on the event, make sure your at the beginning of that event. Hold down the shift button and click on the last keyframe node to select all of them. Then you press the delete button or right click then delete and your event is restored to the original event.

Just open the pan/crop window for the affected event, delete any keyframes you’ve added (so that you then have only 1 keyframe at the beginning of the event), then select that keyframe, right-click on the video in pan/crop and click “Restore”.

If would like to effect additional events with the same procedure. Copy the event you restore, then control click & paste onto your new events.
Now you don’t have to go and change every event on your timeline.
