Just got it to work. I started with a brand new file just to test it (I probably had the settings messed up on the original project).

I was able to pan across the frame while holding the actual video in place in the preview window.

Thanks to both of you for the help. I appreciate it.

I’ll try that. Thanks again

Thanks! I appreciate the help.

I think I may still have a problem with one of the clips in the video output screen ‘drifting’ as I use pan and crop to pan across the frame.

For example, I have my video output screen set up as you do in the picture above. What I’m trying to do is the equivalent of panning from the man over to the car.

When I do this, the left hand side of the video output screen will slowly drift in that direction, eventually taking it partially or completely out of view. So, pan/crop works perfectly. But the original location of the frame (ie, left hand side of the output window) is lost as soon as the panning starts.

I would expect Track Motion to compensate for the pan crop settings, so that while I pan left across a frame, track motion compensates in the other direction, so that, in the video output window, it remains in exactly the same position.

I tried to do it manually, so every time I panned with pan and crop in one direction, I would move the frame (via track motion) in the opposite direction, but I couldn’t get it to match exactly.
