Thx

In the sequence, click the fx button on the clip to open the effects window.

Click the large green + sign and choose the MOTION effect.

With the scrubber (the red line in the effect window) at the far left, set the SCALE slider to the desired size.

Click on the image in the preview window and drag it to the start position.

Click the small green + sign on the effects toolbar to set a keyframe.

Move the effects window scrubber to the far right.  Then drag the preview image window to the end position.

Hi

Obviously to pan your clip you must have some zoom for a start. You mention you have 150% zoom preset...How have you set this?

Did you mean Scale at 1.50?? (The VP zoom option doesn't work in %.)

If you mean Scale then you won't be able to pan using Position as even though the image seems larger....it is, in effect cropped and you will move the image out of the frame..

To Pan use just use the ZOOM effect.. No need to have any preset zoom as it gets what you give it...

For example..To pan left to right....

• Click the FX and select the Zoom effect. This places a rectangle on the Clip preview image and opens an effects pane
• Move the Preview Cursor Line to the left side of the Clip Preview screen which is the start of the clip.
• In the Effects pane set the Restraint for the Zoom AR to value you want....e,g. 16:9
• Resize and position the rectangle to your starting place for the pan......Note the Vertical Y1 value in the settings
• 
• Set a keyframe (Click the small green + above the graph area on the effect window)

• Move the Clip screen cursor line (or the graph cursor line) to the  right..the end of the clip
• Without changing the size of the rectangle drag it to the finishing point for your pan.In this case over to the right. Move it so that the Y1 value is the same as at the start. This ensures that the pan will be horizontal.

• Create a second keyframe.  The graph will look something like this....
• 
• Close the effects window.

Your sequence should now pan left to right across the clip.Obviously you can start and stop it where you wish and alter its size and AR if you want.
