Solved Issue with pan/crop/and zoom.

I can resize the position box but I cant move it around it wants to stay on the center no matter what. I can move it left and right but I can't move it up and down. I want to zoom in a the corner of a video clip i am trying to edit but it won't let me move the position box to the corner even with a smapp position square. it only allows me to movie it left and right but not up and down.

Hi Truffleshuffle03,

Sounds like you may have the 'X axis only' selected which only allows horizontal movement. Here is a quoted section from the 'Index Help'

4. To reposition the selection box, click in the middle of the selection area and drag to a new position. To type a specific location, expand the Position heading on the left side of the window and type new values in the X Center and Y Center boxes.

When Move Freely is selected, you can move the selection box along the X or Y axis. When Move in X Only is selected, you can only move the selection box horizontally. When Move in Y Only is selected, you can only move the selection box vertically.

Here is a screenshot as to what you need to left-click on to change the movement, it toggles through 3 settings as described above, X only, Y only and freely both X and Y. That should allow you to zoom in on the corners. Hope this helps.

Yep that would be it. Not sure why it was locked as I never messed with the switches. It just somehow happened randomly out of the blue. It was working find on my last project and I closed it and when I started this one it was some how locked. Thanks alot.

I haven't kept track, but if I did I would be embarrased to admit how many times between Pan and Crop and Track Motion I have gotten the X's and Y's messed up, and I'm a pilot!!!!

Lol ya i know what you mean. I have never got that messed up before but I get the project windows all out of shape almost every time when I edit.
