Re: Event Pan/Crop problem

Hi all

I have a logo of which I reduce the area I'm viewing to a square (about 1/9th of the total area starting at the top left in such a way that the top left of the cropped area meets the top left of the viewing area. I then (using the pan Y direction only) move to the bottom left-hand corner. Then, with pan in X direction, I move to the oposite corner. Tnen to the top then back to where it started. Then I restore the cropped area and pan back out. All this is done over a period of 10 secs.

What I find, though, is that the cropped area moves in a curve and not a straight line. Is this normal or is there a way to make it move in a straight line as I find that parts of the picture I'm panning around fall out of the cropped area.

I hope I've explained this well enough for someone to offer help.

Thanks.

Hi Mav,

Try setting the smoothness value on your P/C keyframes to zero...

Check the very last "diamond" on your pan an crop time line. There's probably another diamond underneath it. I've done this too. I haven't figured out the keystroke sequence yet, but you were likely adjusting the pan and had clicked that end event. Then, somehow, you came off of it and went back to it. Slide the last event marker to the left and you'll probably discover another one under it.
