stills and frame size

i'm creating what i consider to be a title that introduces a segment of my video. right now, i'm using a jpg as a still image that is exactly 150x150 in size. i noticed that when i zoom the still from large to small, the 'viewport' through which the large view shows is only as big as the size of the still cropping more of the large view than expected. the entire frame area is not used and the unused area (left and right side) defaults to a black background. is there a way to use the entire frame area for zooming a still without being limited by the size of the still??
