The Pan & Scan Tab
The Pan & Scan tab lets you apply basic transformations to the shots in your projects.
You can use these transformations to blow images up, reposition them to crop out
unwanted areas of the frame, and rotate shots to create canted angles. You can also
keyframe these effects to create animated pan and scan effects when you’re
downconverting a high-resolution widescreen project to a standard definition 4:3 frame.
Importing and Exporting Geometry Settings with Final Cut Pro
When you send a sequence from Final Cut Pro to Color, the following Motion tab
parameters are translated into their equivalent Color parameters.
While you grade your program, you can preview the effect these transformations have
on each shot and make further adjustments as necessary.
Once you’ve finished working on your project in Color, whether or not Color processes
Pan & Scan adjustments when you render each shot from the Render Queue depends
on how your project was imported:
 When projects are sent to Color from Final Cut Pro or imported via XML files, all the
geometric transformations that are applied to your shots in Color are translated back
into their equivalent Final Cut Pro Motion settings when the project is sent back to
Final Cut Pro. You then have the option to further customize those effects in
Final Cut Pro prior to rendering and output.
 For 2K digital intermediates using Cineon and DPX image sequences, Pan & Scan
transformations are processed within Color along with your color corrections when
rendering the output media.
