Applying the Avid Pan & Zoom Effect
To apply the Avid Pan & Zoom effect:
1. | |
Using standard editing techniques, load a sequence and create a
placeholder segment of the duration you want for your image.
|
The footage you use in the placeholder segment is the footage the
effect uses if you set the Background parameter to Video. For more
information, see
Selecting the Background.
