Zooming Question

Pryach wrote on 4/27/2005, 3:10 PM

I have a full body picture of me.

In Vegas, I'd like for it to start zoomed in on my face. Then zoom out so it shows the entire picture. Is there any way to do this?

I tried the Zoom transitions, but couldn't get any to do that. If anyone knows and can let me know how to do it I'd appreciate it :)

Use pan/crop. Setting things up genrally only require a first and last key frame letting Vegas fill in the blanks.

Click on my name, visit my tutorial site for more specifics and example vids.

Using the Pan/Crop tool in Vegas
If you click the link above, you'll find a tutorial on how to use the Pan/Crop tool to accomplish what you're after. A transition will move the entire image, where you are looking to keep the image in one place and zoom in/out on it, yes? Pan/Crop is the tool you'll want to use.
Be careful of your resolution, if your image doesn't contain enough pixels, it will pixelate and look jaggy.

Cool, thanks.

I had used panning and cropping before, but didn't realize there was a keyframe option :)

Good grief, I got past the Flash (with no option to click to bypass it). Then I find that I can't access the site because I am 'only' browsing at 1024x768 resolution LOL

Do you realise that 31% of surfers currently don't even have 1024x768?

Not according to the statistics on my two websites (your milage may vary). At this time about 12% on one and 9 % on the other do not have 1024 x 768 or BETTER. And am I glad. I hated drafting web-pages for low resolution.
