  • Don't see Pan and Zoom after the upgrade

    I'm looking in my effects tab and don't see Pan and Zoom since I've upgraded from Xpress Pro to MC 2.8. I see an effect that is called Pan and Scan, but that must be related to video. Do I need to download this effect specifically and load it or and I just looking in the wrong place? Thanks...

    [quote user="Dom Q. Silverio"]Regarding the playback, yes Avid is aware of this. Supposedly there was confusion between the beta testers.[/quote] What is the bug that you are referring to, checking the source of rendered pan and zooms or the quality of real-time playback?

    Thanks for your input and please keep me posted. The work I do requires lots of pan and zooms. Although the rendered quality is great, I believe that the pan and zoom is one of Avid's weaker points. I'd love to hear how other documentary editors deal with their images. I find it very difficult...

    [quote user="Larry Rubin"] The only reason I can think of is my system is telling me the effect is rendered, but perhaps it is, in fact, not rendered at all. [/quote] What would cause that? Corrupt database?

    That's odd. I just tested it, to be sure. If the effect is unrendered and I delete the original image, it will result in a black screen, as you said. But once rendered, as long as I don't make any adjustments, the render stays.

    [quote user="Larry Rubin"]If I keep the hi-rez image, all is well. Any ideas?[/quote] Are you deleting the image from your hard drive, or the master clip from your bin?

    [quote user="DIESELE"]render in Avid ultra high quality once you are happy with it[/quote] Has anyone noticed a difference between Avid Ultra Quality and Avid High Quality? Ultra takes longer to render, but I haven't seen it produce better quality.

    [quote user="Larry Rubin"]Avid is rendering the ballistic movements you program for the pan and zoom, but the image itself it still a hi-rez image on your platform[/quote] When you render a pan and zoom, Avid creates a media file. It still remembers where your original hi-rez image is, in case...

    That doesn't make sense... When you render, avid should be referring to the precompute, which in essence, is a video of your pan. That is why I always render my pan and zoom effects as I apply them. Otherwise, Avid would always keep those hi-rez images in the RAM.
