152 Pinnacle Studio 9
• In Studio Plus, put together “pan-and-zoom”
animations in which a high-resolution image is
viewed as a succession of smoothly-connected close-
ups at various degrees of magnification. This
technique is closely associated with the well-known
documentary filmmaker Ken Burns.
The Clip properties tool for photos has pan-and-
zoom controls for focusing on an area of interest. In
Studio Plus, pan-and-zoom can be animated to
create the effect of traversing the image from one
focus to another. In other versions of Studio,
animated pan-and-zoom can be “unlocked”, if
required, by purchasing an activation code.
If an image needs rotating by 90 degrees to
bring it into “landscape” mode (wider than
high), start by clicking one of the image
rotation buttons. If needed, click the button more than
once until the clip is properly oriented.
If you want to reframe the image, click directly on
the tool’s preview window and, while holding the left
mouse down, drag the image in any direction until it is
properly positioned. Release the button to complete
the operation. Next, use the Zoom slider to magnify or
reduce the image size as desired. Adjust the position
