Pan & Zoom Editor
This dialog box allows you to add pan and zoom effects to images in your productions. A pan effect simulates the movement of a camera across a scene, and a zoom effect simulates movement between close-up and distant shots.
You can use the pan and zoom editor in two modes:
n Preset—You use predefined pan and zoom effects.
n Advanced—You can define a number of key frames with different pan and zoom effects.

1 Click Preset.
