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.
  You cannot use filler in the placeholder segment.
2.  Enter Effect mode by selecting Toolset > Effects Editing.
The Effects Editing toolset appears.
3.  In the Effect palette, click the Image category.
4.  Click the Avid Pan & Zoom icon, and drag it to the placeholder segment you created in step 1.
The Avid Pan & Zoom parameters appear in the Effect Editor.
5.  Click the Other Options button.
A file selection dialog box opens.
6.  Navigate to the file containing your image, and click OK.
The Avid editing application superimposes the image on the placeholder segment. The image appears in the Effect Preview monitor.
  If you select a file that your application does not recognize as an image file, the application takes no action and no error message appears. For more information, see Working with Image Files.
  The placeholder segment name does not change. That is, the name of the image file does not appear in the segment.
7.  Customize the Avid Pan & Zoom effect using the procedures described in the following sections:
  Viewing the Image While You Work
  Adjusting the Field of View
  Using Velocity In and Velocity Out
