    I am wanting to animate stills on the timeline, so I want to zoom in and out, and pan across the still. Where do I find a video tutorial for that?

    I’m sure there are many tutorials online, but animating stills on the timeline is relatively straight-forward if you are familiar with keyframes.

    Select your still in the timeline. Then, go in the effects control panel. Go to the properties you want to animate, which will be position and scale in your case. I assume you want to start the animation at the beginning of the still, so ensure your time indicator is at that position. Then, choose a position and scale value to start at and click the stopwatch (Toggle animation button). This sets a keyframe. Then go down the timeline to the end of your still and choose another position and scale value to your liking. This will create a second keyframe. The still will move accordingly from the first and second value over the allotted time. Adjust the position values and scale values as needed.

    Ok, Andy. That makes sense. Will play with that awhile to get it right. Makes a lot of sense, actually. Thanks for your help, sir.
