panning stills

is there a way to pan and scan still pics in vv. Can you feed in large size files from a scanner and then pan over them. I can use the track motion but this lowers quality. Is there a high quality method? Thanks in advance. Happy Holidays!.

You can also do this by right clicking on the event and select pan and crop.

read up on keyframes. instead of moving the track, move the camera. there is an excellent explanation in the VV3 manual.

click on the Event Pan/Crop button that is visible on the clip. at the bottom of the Event Pan/Crop window, you can see the Timeline for just the image clip. add keyframe by pressing the button. then change the position of 'camera'. zoom in, move from left to right, whatever you want. and you don't have to move in a line. you can set as many keyframes as you want and have the camera go to anywhere on the clip. up, down, in, out, spin it around. i love it.

let me know if you need more assistance.

i was going to create a quick tutorial, but no need. here's one from the CreativeCow VV3 forum by DSE.

this is exactly what i was refering to.
