As I load photos into the video track, some of them allow me to apply panning and zooming (either auto p&z or customized), and others don't allow it.
For about half my images, the auto p&z is grayed out, and on the Photo Options panel, the P&Z option is gray and the radio button can't be activated.
For both images that work and images that don't work, they are all .tif files of varying sizes. I can't see any logic in why some images allow P&Z and others don't. I'll drag and drop an image onto the video track, and if the P&Z is grayed out, I'll delete it, drag and drop another image, and boom, no problems.
I'm currently creating slide show with about 1,000 photos. BTW, I need to apply automate pan and zoom feature on all 1,000 photos. Is there any method to apply this at one time instead of manually every single photo?
how to apply the Mask & Chroma Key. I've dragged a Color into the timeline, and selected OPTIONS and then Mask & Chroma Key, but all I have now is a neon green glob on my screen that covers everything else (because that's the color I chose.)
So how do I blot out the background of a brief video clip?
And - for that matter - I'm trying to find some tutorials so I can try out features without continuing to bother everyone?
I'm making great progress with my movie making skills! But.... I'm trying to add some transitions to a series of images and I keep getting "there is no gap to apply a transition effect". Trouble is I can't see how I can make a gap.
I have long been using the program. I like the filter Video Pan and Zoom, if not a big BUT.
If the clip you select multiple control points pan and some of them coincide with the center, it is impossible to capture the crossing point for the desired position correction frame, since the engine is the player immediately jumps to the first control point. If the pre-shift frame with panels Anchor, then grab the frame with the mouse is already possible, but the trajectory of the frame after this change. The latter leads to the door frame at the edge of the screen in motion.
How to select a frame, which is currently in focus when several centers framework be at each other?
What i want to do is apply an overlay on a map which has white lines crossed in the middle to pinpoint a location, i want them to move into location, not be static
I managed what i wanted using a JPG image, white lines, black background, and use the chromakey to remove the black, but that left the lines blurry and not as defined
I saved an image as a PNG with white lines on transparent background, which works great for keeping it all looking crisp and clear, but when i click to do a Pan & Zoom on the image under the Edit / Attribute tabs on the image, the Pan & Zoom cannot be chosen and isnt highlighted
Importing Nikon NEFs and 1920x1080p video from new D5100. Target video is 1920x1080p h.264. No matter what I do, I can't get the custom pan and zoom box to be widescreen aspect ratio, it is stuck in 4:3. I KNOW it can be done as I managed to do it once with the trial version, but wasn't sure how. Now I want to do it again.
I am using pro X4 on windows 7. For my current project I am doing a slide show with added titles and audio. I decided to try pan & zoom. So on the menu bar I selected edit and then selected auto pan & zoom. This applied pan & zoom to all the photos (over 100). As I have previewed the results, I find the pan & zoom effects for many of the photos is not appropriate meaning faces are being cut off etc. I know I can go in and customize the settings for pan & zoom and even copy the attributes to all the photos. At this point what I really want to do is turn off pan & Zoom. I select auto pan & zoom from the edit menu with no impact. I select a photo and open the option window. The radio button for pan & zoom indicates that it is active. I can't deselect the radio button. how to turn off pan & zoom. I would like to do it to all the photos in one step like I turned it on.
I am asking about zoom and pan on video. I used the crop filter to do a basic zoon and pan on a video but the level of control is quite primitive.
Any plugin that provides better control of zoom and pan? Something with a motion path for example. I discovered the use of the crop feature on youtube.
I am wondering if there is an easy method to apply a video filter to EVERY video clip in a project instead of having to apply it manually to every clip.
What are the steps to apply filters to all my video clips in Corel Videostudio? I am able to drop each each filter to each of the clip. But when I try - Select all clips - Drop a filter to the selections, it does not work as expected. Instead the filter gets applied only to one clip.
Is there any other way to achieve what I am doing - Automatically fix exposure and colour levels to all clips?
I have a project with multiple images dropped on an overlay track. After I've placed them all, I'd like to apply the same fade out effect to all of them at once. I've tried shift/click and crtl/click to select more than one, but it doesn't work.
I'm trying videostudio pro x5 and it looks very nice, but I have a problem that I think will lead to be a big limitation in the potential this software has, so I guess this is a bug or maybe I am not using it in the right way. I just hope is not that way by design
Anyway, the problem is that when I apply a filter to an animation or to an image (like PNG) that has alpha channel, I can see the filter coverin the whole frame if the clip is in the main video track, while if I move it to the overlay track the filter will only stay inside the picture, for example I've tried this with the lens flare.. please see this image (situation 1 on top and then situation 2 bellow the orange line):
I'd expect the lens flare to go over the transparent area of the clip so that it will be overlaid with the "background" main video track, but it is not. This is just an example but for example the same happens if I apply the lightning filter to a text filter or to a png..
I also have a similar concern with the free TitlerEx plugin that I've downloaded after registering: if I put it on an overlay track I can't just have the text with transparent background overlaid to the main video track.
I'm playing around with time lapses in VS5 and am having some success. One thing I can't work out though is how I go about adding Pan &/or Zoom to a sequence. I can add it to individual images but i'm not sure how to add the effect over a series of say 300 images so that it's a smooth motion?
I would like to create a certain zoom effect, but I can't get it done. I'm working with graffiti photo's. I want to show a wall with several different pieces on it. After a few seconds, a photo showing just one of those pieces appears in an overlay. It is placed at the same spot where its background-twin is located and its resized to match its appearance. That small overlay now has to grow in size so it eventually fits the entire screen. It is however important that, during this 'zoom effect', the background photo remains visible.
I have tried to work with the Picture-in-Picture effect from NewBlue, which sounded like the solution. I managed to get the entire thing done, except for making the background visible during the effect. The resized overlay picture is surrounded by a black screen that covers the background photo and I can't figure out how to make that black surface transparent. It ís possible to make the entire overlay transparent, but that also affects the black color in the photo, which obviously messes it up.
I have upgraded to Video Studio X3. I am making a simple collection of photos into a film. I have imported them all into the timeline but a warning message that they were too large to accept the default 10secs display time.
The old photos were scanned in at 300 dpi. Many of them were then cleaned up (spots and scratches removed, etc.) using Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 (which we also did on previous projects). My wife then began creating her project essentially using all of the VideoStudio defaults. She added a custom pan and zoom to every photo so that the slide show has some motion, and the person or object of interest in the photo gets enlarged and emphasized.
Problem 1: as some of the photos move, there is a visible twitch or judder--not sure what word I should use to describe it. It's like the picture jiggles a little as it moves. The problem is not in the burn, the DVD player or television, because you can see it happening when you watch the preview of the project in the software, edit mode. It seems to be random, I cannot discern a pattern to which photos, where on the timeline, which transition, etc., is related to the issue.
Problem 2: my wife created this project for a 4:3 aspect ratio TV, so the crop box that was used for all of the custom pan and zoom was 4:3. I would like to create a new version of the project, with all of the photos re-cropped, re-zoomed and re-panned using a 16:9 box. The problem is, I cannot figure out how to delete or un-do all of the existing 4:3 panning and zooming. I have tried opening the program with the 16:9 box checked, then opening the project file, then deleting photos from the time-line, and re-linking to a new copy of the same photo. When I open the pan and zoom box for the photo, it has a 4:3 aspect ratio crop box! Note that if I start a new project and drop the same photo on the timeline, I do get a 16:9 box for pan & zoom. So it seems that 4:3 is associated with the existing project, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I really don't want to have to re-create the whole thing from scratch. Is there a simple way to be able to re-do the pan & zoom at 16:9?
I tried selecting all of the photos on the timeline, right-clicking, then choosing auto pan and zoom, to see if that would re-do it using a 16:9 crop box (which could then be customized). No joy, it again used a 4:3 box.
I am on X4 and go back years with the program. I thought there was a feature to select only a part of the screen and be able to zoom on that on playback in the project. was this in an earlier version? I cannot find this feature in X4. I know I can do this for an image but want to do it for close ups in videos.
I have a high res image of a map and I want to add it to a project and ZOOM in to a particular spot on that image.
I also want the image to stay unzoomed for a short time, then zoom in and then remain zoomed in for a short time.
I have added two 'key frames' (using add key frame) and have applied the zoom between them.
My problem is how to make sure the image doesn't move between the start and the first key frame (and between the second key frame and the end). I know that I can drag the RED CROSS using my mouse but I am finding it almost impossible to end up with the image without at least one black stripe on one edge (ie image not centered).
The result is that the resulting video clip moves slightly on the screen between the start and key frame 1 (and also between the zoomed in image at the second key frame and the end of the clip).
Is there a method like 'snap to grid) to force the image to the same place as the previous key frame?
I am using both Paint Shop Pro X3 & Video Studio X3. I'm putting together a slideshow and when I use Pan & Zoom to zoom on a particular subject (as a bee on a flower) after so much zoom the picture blurs. I have a very good camera and the photo remains sharp in Paint Shop Pro in extreme zoom. Is there a way to sharpen the image while zooming in Video Studio?
When I use video filter Pan & Zoom and I change options want to change the filter options, then VS crashes. The other filters work fine. I doubt if I put a video with this error.
I have a screen splited to 4 and a shoot is played in each one. I would like to put a Filter of Effect that will take one of this pieces and zoom it in till it will fill the complete screen. Just today I noticed a similar video in the Corels site where the introduce the VS X5.
I am building a highlight video for my son who is a wrestler. I had the idea at the beginning to zoom in on one of his sr pics towards his eye. I want a the video to start in his eye but as zooming is complete it will end up full page video.
