Pixelan Spicepack 2.5 Pro

I've never heard of the package myself. I took a quick look at it. I may be a little hasty in my assessment but a large number if not the majority of the transitions they provide can be done pretty easily using the standard controls in PPro. Are you familar with keyframing and bezier controls in PPro? If not, you might check them out and see what you think. Like I said, I just took a quick look and what they offered so I could be quite off the mark. I'm sure you'll let me know. :laugh:

I tried to get PPro to zoom out on a still, but when I zoomed in and made a beginning keyframe it stayed at the same zoom rate throughout the clip and I couldn't seem to get it to recognize the end keyframe. It would say that this would erase any other keyframes when I tried to create the end keyframe. Must be doing something wrong, still playing with it. In the Moviemaker spicepack you could see two boxes in a blank frame (one a begining point the other an end point) and you just dragged the effect to the clip. It had every possible pan or zoom and you didn't have to resize the frame picture.
If you look to the 'scale' effect on the effect control tab, you should see a little clockface. If the clockface has no hands, then multiple keyframes are not enabled. Click on the clockface and you should be able to set as many keyframes as you like. What's probably confusing is that some effects have multiple keyframes (or what PPro calls animation) enabled by default (volume for example) while other effects have animation disabled by default. Hope that helps.

Just to add to Dan's response: clicking the stopwatch turns keyframing on/off. You don't click it to set a second keyframe; you just adjust the value. It sounds like when you go to set your second keyframe you're clicking the stopwatch again, this is turning keyframing off (and threatening to delete all keyframes)

After selecting the clip in the time line, press A on the key board. This will take you to the beginning of the clip. Go up to the effects pallet, or double click on the clip and select the watch. This will set the first frame.
Like wise, select the clip and press S on the key board. This will take you to the end of the clip. Then do the same watch step as mentioned earlier. This will help you set the clip's effects seperate from the adjacent clips.
