  • Zoom in Picture In Picture using Pan Crop?

    Posted by Brad Leigh on November 9, 2011 at 12:02 am

    Hello and thanks again for your help.
    I am doing a technical educational video. I use picture in Picture to show a machine reacting to the operators controls. I shot with two cameras. I approximated my PIP when framing, meaning the closeup was shot using using the upper left quarter of the frame. I would use the upper left quarter of that frame with pan crop to create the PIP. It works very well. But I’ve decided I would like to zoom in a bit. I see how to do this in pan crop if I am using a full frame. But I don’t see how to do this using the upper left quarter frame. I checked the manual and the only reference I see for using pan crop to zoom is if I am outputting that track to full frame. Is this possible?
    Thank You, you guys are life savers.

    If you change both the width and height the crop will zoom. I assume you disabled Local Aspect and Size About Center. Just re-enable them and grab a corner and move it inward and it will zoom.
