focus frame.
2 Move the c
ursor over the boundary of the focus frame until the pan (hand) icon appears.

Reorder focus frames to modify panning sequence (photos only)
The number on focus frames determines the panning sequence, the sequence in which objects are panned into. For
example, the focus shifts to the object with focus frame 3 after the object with focus frame 2 is panned.
Do one of the following to change the numbering of focus frames:
• In the timeline, move the focus frame markers around based on the sequence you want the corresponding focus
frames to appear. Changing the position of focus frame markers automatically renumbers focus frames in the
order of their appearance in the timeline.
• Move the focus frames around in the thumbnail strip.
