How to pan an image without zooming?

[Philip_Jennings]

Hi everyone. This is my first post here - I’ve been getting into Shotcut over the past couple of months and have been loving it.

I’m a bit confused today though. I’m trying to pan (no zoom) from the bottom of a square image to the top of that image, within a video project which is the standard 1920x1080. I am doing this using the Size, Rotate and Position tool: creating a video track with the still image, splitting it at the playhead, using the aforementioned tool to drag the image to how I want it’s final appearance to be after the split, and then using keyframes to create the pan between the two. I have done this before, with good results.

In this instance though, every time I try the keyframes it zooms in or out from a view of the whole square image. I’ve tried everything I can think of and done plenty of googling but I can’t get it to hold at the same level of zoom throughout (i.e. I want the image to fit the sides of the frame throughout, and for it to be a simple pan from bottom to top). Is this a bug, or am I just doing something stupid? Any help would be hugely appreciated as I’m working towards a deadline next week and searching for a solution is taking me hours!

Thanks

Phil

Can you give a screenshot? What version of shotcut?

Using Shotcut 22.01.30 it appears to be a bug with using the VUI with Size Mode: Fit. I get some weird 100.1% zoom.

The only way I can get around it is to keep hitting reset on the zoom, and just type in the parameters.

Is this what you are trying to do?

Yes, that is exactly what I have been trying to do! Thanks! Glad to know it’s not just me. I was wondering if I was missing something obvious.

I am using 22.01.30 too. I’ve kept trying it as you suggested and have at long last managed to get it working. Thanks very much for your help!

Hope this gets fixed for future versions as it’s a bit of a pain.

Thanks very much for replying! It’s Shotcut 22.01.30 and here’s a screenshot.

Thankfully Hudson555x’s solution does the trick by trial and error, eventually.

Glad to help.
