Just what the title says.

I come to these places for answers, I'm not going to scroll back through 3300 pages to see if someone figured this out already.

Specifically: Limitations of Using the Pan and Crop Tool.

I am using the Pan and crop tool to position a dozen avatars on screen over a background image.

To that's say 13 layers. Add a still image to a layer, select pan and crop resize and find a nice place for it with all the others. By widening out the zoom I can make the images smaller, but in some cases - not small enough. Why can't I zoom out further? I can force the issue by embeding the picture in a larger transparent canvas, but that's a lot of work for just a bit more zoom out.

a) Why is there a limitation at all?

b) How do I get around it?

In the News category a MAGIX rep has stated that a search feature is in the works.

Although some tasks can be done more than one way, I would use track motion to do this.

Ta, someone esle pointed out track based Zoom as well.

Problem is, it makes re-using the tracks kinda hard.

You can use track keyframes to return a track to "Normal" after using Track Motion.
