Zooming or panning a video track
When you use a single setting for the track, you move all video on the track. When you add keyframes to
change track motion settings through the duration of the track, you can create animation. For more
information, see "Keyframe Animation" on page 294.
1.
Click the Track Motion button on the track that contains the overlay you want to animate. The
Track Motion window is displayed.
2. Choose a setting from the Composite Mode drop-down list to specify how your track will be
composited over other tracks. For more information, see "Compositing and Masks" on page 385.
3. Adjust the selection area to change the viewable area of the track and its position. You can use the
Position, Orientation, and Rotation controls on the left side of the window, or you can drag the
selection box in the workspace. When you drag, guides are displayed in bold to indicate how the
track will be moved or rotated:
Moving closer to or farther from viewer. Drag across corners to flip the track.
Dragging the track to change its position.
Rotating around the Z axis
4. Use the buttons at the top of the dialog to allow or prevent movement or scaling. See the Change
editing options heading in this topic for more information.
Right-click the workspace to display a shortcut menu that displays commands to restore,
center, or flip the selection box. You can also force the box to match the source media's aspect
ratio, your project's output aspect ratio, or a square aspect. Matching the output aspect ratio
can prevent black bars from appearing when you use source media (such as photographs) that
does not match your project's aspect ratio.
The track motion occurs instantly, and the results are updated in the Video Preview window.
