does Pan & Zoom effect works for photos only??

@Sigfofosauer:

Oh no. It works with any layer. Video, still images, even a title layer.

I'm watching the video trying to figure out why my pan and zoom doesn't look like that. I see now it's 0.7.8 DUH! I upgraded. :)

Sorry if you already covered this but I noticed you have yours set on HD 720p 29.97 fps. My camera does HD 720p 30 fps so that's what mine is set at. Did I set this correctly? What Codec and setting do you render with for You Tube?

Thanks for explaining the new Pan and Zoom.

@FenderGibsonWashburn

The NTSC standard was made slightly broken. Their target was 60i but it ended up being 59.94i. In progressive streams that translates into 29.97 but a lot of people simply round up too 30. The same is done w/ inverse telecine. 24 fps translates to 23.976. Almost all American video cameras are actually set to 29.97.

I have a custom render profile:

acodec=pcm_s16le ar=48000 ac=2 vcodec=mpeg4 qscale=1 qmin=1

Then I send it to handbrake (yt) and ffmpeg2theora (archive)

@arthursucks Thanks. I'm new with KDEnlive but I can see it's a powerful editor.

What would be good would be to do something on each of the new effects that have appeared in 0.7.8

[DLandonCole]

I think I'll pinch that effect. I've worked out how to use most of the basic effects in a fairly simple way, but it's putting them together in the right way like you show that makes them really worthwhile. Thankyou for this - and, yes, I like these tutorials a lot!
