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?
