Positioning/zooming images

Zakraket schrieb am 27.09.2012 um 15:03 Uhr

Hello

 

A question about using the Size/Position Movement effect in Magix Pro X3:

 

When I have a picture that is resized and repositioned (zoomed to a certain part of the image), and I want to use keyframes to make a zoomout and zoomin to another part of the picture (f.e. from the lefttop of the image to the rightbottom) I run into a practical problem:

- keyframe 1 is zoomed in to the topleft

- keyframe 2 is zoomed out to the topleft

- keyframe 3 will be zoomed out to the bottomright

- keyframe 4 will be zoomed in to the bottomright

Movement: start zoomed in topleft, zoomout at topleft, move to bottomright, zoomin to bottomright. This could be used f.e. to a map-image, where you zoom out from one city on the map and then move and zoomin to another city.

 

I find it hard to set the second keyframe to the zoomed out position at top left: when I resize the picture to zoomout the position of the image stays the same, but because of that the part of the image that I look at shifts.

Same problem when I move to keyframe 3 and then try to zoom in to keyframe 4: when I zoom in (resize) the image does nog stay in position.

This would be solved when I had the possibilty to set a pictures position with respect to the picture's CENTER, because that would keep the view at the same part of the picture when zooming in or out (i.e. changing the size of the picture).

I can't find an option for this.

 

What I do is resize the picture and then manually adjust the position by dragging the image back to where it was. Is there a better way?

My english is very limited and so I'm not sure to understand all points right.

When I have a picture that is resized and repositioned

This is the first point I have to ask: that neans the size of the picture is less than the full monitor? And you will keep this size with a zoom to the one and other corner?

If not, with a normal sized picture - I tested: Main point, as I can see: first bring the cursor to the wanted poit in the timeline an set than the zoom.

Let us know what you mean.

Another point:: your questuíon ist presented at the german site :-)

let me say another point:

click into your monitor use Strg+ mousewheel, than you can resize the monitor picture and see more what happend surround.

Reading again, I mean that I have to say: position/size and zoom (howerver it is named in your issue) is at last the same:  size small means: a small picture, the background can be seen,

A very big picture means: you see only a part of it - like zoom.

if you need a little picture with a zoom in it, than you have to use a mask.

You can speak german if you want, I understand german.

 

I have a large image of a (google) map, and I want to start zoomed in on one city, then zoom out, pan to another city and then zoom in.

I start with the mapimage zoomed in on the first city. Then I add a keyframe and unzoom the city. But, because the images are positioned relative to their topleftcorner, resizing a picture means that it will not stay focused on the same point.

Yes.I know how to make it, but I don't like the way the controls for size/position seem to work. Any tips would be welcome.

 

Perhaps I should learn to use Google Maps to record/play paths, and capture that on video.
