Photo montages Can't Post

I currently have an avio and I'm upgrading this week. However, I want to do photo montages with pan and zoom. The screenplay has the software offered to do this. Can I do this with the
Macrosystem units. I will be doing alot of these and the less time consuming for me, the better. Thanks

Re: Photo montages Can't Post

Every Casablanca II (Avio/Kron/Prestige) has the Zoom feature which you find under the Special button in the Edit Screen.
This will enable you to add some nice motion to still images - I have used this feature, combined with cross fades to create some cool photo montages. I have seen where editors have also used the Zoom feature to create motion L-R/R-L across an image (you select the motion path) but not as precisely as a specific Pan feature - I believe our developers are working on such a feature for the near future.
I also highly recommend the use of PowerKey which enables you to use Macros to speed up the process of creating lengthy photo montages in a short amount of time.
Hope this helps!

Chet
