The Avid Pan & Zoom effect supports any image file format for which your system has the appropriate QuickTime codec. You can download the latest version of QuickTime from the Apple Web site.

Most images you use with Avid Pan & Zoom come from digital cameras, scanners, or third-party graphics applications such as Adobe Photoshop. In the rare case where an image comes from a video source, you can set parameters in the Advanced parameter category to enable the effect to compensate appropriately. For more information, see Advanced Parameter Category.

If you move an image file after you import it into the effect, the image is no longer accessible to the effect. The next time you open the effect a dialog box opens asking you to locate the file.
