Hi. I have a still image. I want to start on a close-up of her eyes and then pull back slowly to reveal her entire face. I am finding a gazillion tutorials about zooming IN, but I need to do the opposite and zoom OUT. Help!!!! Thanks in advance!
Assuming that you have MEP2019 Plus or Premium (you didn't say), select the photo, go to the Effects tab, View/Animation, Size/Position and you have all of the tools necessary to zoom in and out and move the image around, along with the keyframing area below. You need to learn how to use these.
Obviously, you zoom in at or near the start and drag the image to the starting position. Set a keyframe. Move to where you want the effect to end, click on Center and Movie Size and an ending keyframe will be set full size and centred.
Alternatively, go to Camera/Zoom shot, click on From section button and reshape the dashed rectangle on the monitor by dragging the handles in to zoom in and moving the rectangle over the eyes. Under Duration, leave it as "Over full duration" to start. Press on Play. Magix!
Look at the keyframe area. There is one at the beginning of the clip, the other at the end. Under Camera/Zoom shot, switch the Duration to 2 second edge. The keyframes move in leaving 2 seconds at the beginning before zooming in, and the zoom ends 2 seconds from the end. Adjust timing by dragging a keyframe left or right.
You can switch to Size/Position and make whatever adjustments that you want by selecting the keyframing and then modifying the zoom or position. If you are not on a keyframe and adjust something, then a keyframe will be added at that point. The rest is simply learning and practicing what these do.
