Zooming and pulling back

[John Rofrano]

[Trace Pratten] “Does Boris have a filter that can take motion, not still, footage and create a zoom or pull back from the video source?”

Take a look at BCC Pan and Zoom from Boris Continuum Complete 7.

Thank you John. Being a novice, I thought that was just for stills.

[John Rofrano]

Most FX will work on whatever media you apply them to. Even a still image is rendered like a movie so the plug-ins don’t really know the difference.

Thank you again for your time—

I’ve taken a look at the Boris Zoom and Pan and am wondering if there are advantages to it compared to just doing it using Vegas. I’m interested in understanding quality and/or workflow advantages.

I’ve never really used it because I do all of my zooming and panning right in Vegas. I assume that other NLE’s don’t have the capabilities that Vegas has and the Boris version probably makes it a lot easier but I haven’t compared the two (sorry).

Thanks. I’d say pan and zoom is one of those things that makes Vegas, Vegas. It’s too easy.
