Simple Ken Burns style zoom and hold plugin for fcpx

Hey guys!


I am looking for a zoom plugin that works like the ken burns, but holds its crop position once it arrives until you want to move it to another position. I am making it sound over complicated, but basically just a simple and clean pan+zoom/crop zoom plugin that works well. I am a YT editor so the reason I dont simply just keyframe the scale and position is that sometimes my subject is in the corner of the video and I want a clean slow zoom, but it always ends up zooming in unevenly that way and you see outside the frame where the black screen is, unlike the ken burns effect, which crop zooms. It is also too frustratring and time consuming to ken burns a clip and then try and align the next clip to hold that position.


Best,

Elijah.

Just have a look...


Ken Burns uses the project size. This plugin uses the actual clip size. It supports *any* aspect ratio. You can easily set up the animation timing without keyframes (timing controls are in *Percent of Length of Clip*) for both In and Out animations — there's an onscreen percentage guide available to help establish exact pinpoint timings. Zoom target and Zoom amount can be adjusted — the target adjusted smaller can be used as a frame — the Zoom In Amt control can be used to increase, decrease or animate the amount of zoom over and above the automated zooming.


You can read about more details in the product description (if you get that far!)
