addressed Pan & Zoom: How To Use 9:16 Aspect Ratio With 16:9 Video Source

[AcesUp]

I can't seem to figure out how to Pan & Zoom with 9:16 aspect ratio on a 16:9 video. In other words I want to Pan & Zoom with Portrait (mobile) output using a Landscape video. I have a lot of videos I want to use on TikTok, which uses 1080 x 1920 video.

Is there a specific Export setting for this? Any help would he appreciated.

Set the Pan & Zoom aspect ratio to 9:16.

The result, on a 16:9 image...

Thanks for your quick reply! It looks like my VideoPad software does not have the aspect ratio option on Pan & Zoom.

Install the latest.  Even if unlicensed, most features will be available for exploration.

Or just use ZOOM with the 9:16 preset, and animate the move.  http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/videopad/win/effects_animating.html

For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date.  After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest.  Retain your old install file and registration info.

Hi

This is a edited reply I made to a similar query...

If you have a wide horizontal image and want to pan across it   then use just the Zoom Effect with key frames. You can set the AR for the output you require (9:16) by clicking the Aspect Ratio control shown in the effects parameter window in the images below.

Steps would be..

• Place the 16:9 source clip on the timeline.
• Click the FX box for the clip
• Select the Zoom effect
• Set Zoom AR from the list to 9:16
• Move the red effect cursor line on the graph to the far left (for a left-right pan) which is the start of the clip
• Adjust the position/size rectangle to outline the area required. This will be the start frame. If you use dual previews then you will see exactly what the effect will be, You can set this with Options/Display
• When you are happy with the result click the Set Keyframe tab. This the start of the pan........
• 
• Move the red cursor line across the effect graph page to the far right which is the end of the clip
• Adjust the rectangle again if required (You may want your pan to zoom in or out as well as pan) otherwise keep the size values for the rectangle the same as at the start. Keep the height of the rectangle the same.
• Create a second Key frame. this will be the end of the pan.... e.g....
• 

When played the project clip will pan from left to right (in this example) keeping an  AR of 9:16. as seen in the Sequence Preview window on the right.  The speed of pan will be relative to the duration of the clip. An image can be pulled out along the timeline to slow the pan down or it can be shortened to make the pan faster. With a video clip, altering the speed of the clip is the only way to adjust the speed of the pan.

Using keyframes you can halt a pan at any point or make it start after an initial pause etc.

Withe AR you require from a 16:9 clip there will be black bands at either side. Depending on the height of the rectangle  you may lose some actual image. In the example shown the 9:16 rectangle was left full height You can, of course go back to the effect parameter window and alter the rectangle to suit.

Thanks, everyone. I installed videopadsetup64.exe and the option for aspect ratio now appears. Love this software!
