Pan / Crop Effect

I'm stuck again............

I'm trying to use word ballons in a project and they keep moving.

I added a video track in order to create word ballons.

I have two subjects with a word balloon image assigned to each. One is on the left side of the video frame and the other is on the right. I am placing them with the pan / crop tool. After I get them where I want them to be, the leading image wants to move towards the location of the next image.

How do I stop this from happening? It looks like the software is helping to smooth things as they go along and I just want to fade each one and have it stay stationary.

Have I described this well enough that one of you with more experience can help me?

Thanks,

John

copy the keyframes you have and place at the 'end' of the duration you want the bubble to stay put...

Sweet,

Thanks Trichome. Where do you learn this stuff? It would be nice if I could learn what this software can do without spending so much time stuck on stupid............

Take care,

John

Hey,

I just discovered that changing the keyframe marker to "hold" on the right click menu will keep it in place.

Wheeeeee!

Laters,
