    When using zoom – pam, is there a way to have that effect travel in a curve instead of straight besides making a whole lot of keyframes?

    No. I have a vague memory of either VV3 or 4 doing this. Or maybe it was Pinnacle Studio 3? Dunno….

    Grazie is right. There is no way to make a curve and this really becomes a problem when keyframing plug-ins with particle effects that you often want to travel in circles and curves.

    This works in Movie Studio 10, so I assume it’s the same in Vegas Pro versions…

    Change the keyframe interpolation “Smoothness” to 100% for all your pan/crop keyframes, and you’ll get a fairly smooth curve between points instead of the standard straight line movement. I’f you already have keyframes, you might need to change them individually.

    It’s not quite the same as bezier curve paths and the like, and you need to tweak and preview to get the motion right, but at least it’s better than straight line movement.

    If you want all your keyframes like this, you can set the “internal preferences” values for “Track Motion Default Smoothness” and “Pan/Crop Default Smoothness”.
