I have two questions:

1) I have loaded a .jpeg into a sequence. I would it to slowly enlarge. Dissolve in, zoom in, dissolve out. This seems simple, but when I manipulate the Avid Zoom effect's Size/Zoom Factor control, nothing happens. I have tried to add keframes, still nothing. It seems the program wants to do it but is not. There is aomething simple I am missing. What is it?

2) My colleague in audio wants Quicktime movies with two tracks of audio in the .AIF format or the .WAV format. I cannot find these selections on the Exporting choices. Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible for me to export .AIF and >WAV? He is using Pro Tools.

I am using Xpress Pro 4.6.

Thank you very much.

1. Do you mean Avid Pan&Zoom effect? if so then the idea is to use it to reference the original jpeg file on your hard-drive. So you apply the effect to your clip, then open the effect editor and click the little icon to the left of "Avid Pan&Zoom" at the top. A dialogue box will open so you can navigate to the file through your desktop.

The other trick is to switch the "Display" setting to "Target". Otherwise it may look like nothing is happening.

2. In the export screen click on "Options" and under "Export as" at the top choose Audio. Then you can choose what sort of file you want.

Have a look at the manual for better explanations of these things.

cheers
