How to Remove Crop, Zoom, and Pan in PowerDirector 17
PowerDirector 17 is a powerful video editing software that allows you to create stunning videos with various effects. One of the common effects used is the crop, zoom, and pan effect, which can be used to focus on a specific part of the video or add a sense of movement.
However, sometimes you may want to remove crop, zoom, and pan from your video. This could be for a number of reasons, such as:
- You accidentally applied the effect.
- The effect is distracting or not working as intended.
- You want to edit the original video without the effect.
Fortunately, PowerDirector 17 offers a straightforward way to remove these effects. Let's explore the process:
Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Crop, Zoom, and Pan
-
Open your project in PowerDirector. Make sure you have the project file loaded in the software.
-
Locate the video clip with the effect. This is often within the timeline of your project.
-
Right-click on the video clip. A menu will appear.
-
Select "Edit Object." This opens a window specifically for the selected video clip.
-
Navigate to the "Motion" tab. This is where the crop, zoom, and pan settings are located.
-
Look for the "Reset" button. The button should appear near the bottom of the window, next to the "Keyframes" section.
-
Click the "Reset" button. This action removes all motion effects applied to the video clip, including crop, zoom, and pan.
-
Preview the changes. You should see the original video without the effect after clicking "Reset."
-
Save your project. Make sure to save the changes to your project file.
Additional Notes
- Removing the effect might reset other settings. It's essential to review the edited video clip to ensure that no unintended changes have occurred.
- The "Reset" button works for all motion effects. If you have other effects like tilting or rotation, you can use the same process to reset them.
- You can also manually adjust the effect settings. If you want to retain some aspects of the effect, you can adjust the keyframes within the "Motion" tab.
- If you have multiple clips with the effect, you will need to repeat these steps for each clip.
