Chapter 1

Using DVCPRO HD

Pan and Scan

You can crop and even perform simple pans by animating the origin parameters in the
Motion tab. For more information on using the Motion tab and animating parameters,
see Volume III, Chapter 2, “Creating Motion Effects and Using Keyframes,” in the
Final Cut Pro 4 User’s Manual.

Letterboxing

You can scale the entire HD movie by nesting and scaling it into an SD sequence. You
will have to render the whole sequence before you output.

Warning:

It is difficult to add a convincing pan into a scene that did not originally

have one. Use this technique sparingly.
