Image Size in Final Cut Pro

[RyanMKincaid]

Here's the situation:

I shot a scene involving 2 characters using a Canon 7D. After editing and post color correction, I've come to the conclusion that the sequence is too static.

I'm thinking about doing some false dolly movement using Motion within Final Cut 7.

At what percentage scale do you think I can get away with increasing the size of the image before it gets too pixelated to work?

I'm thinking about 105% and just slowly panning across to add some movement.

You'll be fine. I do it all the time. Depending on how noisy the shot is, I sometimes get away with 115%. You don't have to use Morion for this you can do it in FCP using key frames on scale/position.
