Help, I'm new at this, I just downloaded EMC 8 Premier and I cannot get the pan and zoom to work.  I can check the "apply pan and zoom to all" but it doesn't seem to apply it.   And when I  try to do it one at a time in the production editor it shows no photo in the pan and zoom editor. What am i doing wrong?

I presume that you are using create slideshow, Slideshow Assistant?
Iam to believe that the Pan and Zoom are miniscule of only 5% and may not even be seen.
When you get to section 3, Select Edit in Videowave. You then have full control over the effects with Motion Zoom, pan and audio etc, to pruduce your final results, then burn to your selected media. Save your file regularly, then you can then if you wish, double click that saved file and it will auto start in Videowave to continue or edit futrher.

Hope that this helps.

I'm kind of retarded, so what do you mean when I get to section 3?  In Videowave I right click on the 1st photo and under edit i click pan and zoom.  when that comes up, there is no photo, it says "preset, manual and advanced" but there is no photo.  what am I doing wrong?

With the Slideshow assistant there are 3 steps. If you are using this then look in the top left corder, you will see 1-2-3 as you progress they are highlighted.
But you state that you are using Videowave and what you state is the correct procedure.
When you RH click the photo and Edit, Pan and Zoom Editor the Pan and Zoom Editor apperrs with 3x identical photos displayed.
The Preset function is no good. Select Manual.
With the LH photo and the middle Photo you will see sliders under these, Move accordingly to zoom, then drag the red box, the 3rd Photo is the effect that you have produced when you click the play button icon on the right.
If there is no photo there, then not sure. What format is the photo, as standard .jpg? Are the photos in the time line, along the bottom? Use the zoom slider to see the more of the slideshow in detail, then RH click that photo.
Play around with the software for many hours and eventually you'll get there.

Go into the Search (top right of this page) and type in "video card driver" (without the quotes) and read some of the many posts on this subject.

I have perhaps the same type of problem that you have.  When I open the pan and zoom editor, I get only the original image and nothing that shows the secondary image where you actual do the adjustments nor do I see the preview image.  
I have not been able to find a fix or an interfering software program.  
In V8, I did find a work around.  Complete your slide show without the pan and zoom and save it as the project file.  Then add that project to MyDVD.  R-click on it and select edit movie.  Add the pan and zoom there.  You should see all three images.
V9 doesn't solve this issue and in fact doesn't allow the MyDVD edit work around.

Thanks for your post; as you know, the original poster was using VideoWave so some of your suggestions my be confusing.  BTW. there are two slide show assistants, one with two steps and one with three steps.  Video Wave is the best function for creating slide shows for most people even with the problem being experienced with the original poster.

I have the same problem.  No pic in Pan & Zoom editor. Zip.    Other other problems on computer viewing photo files.

Well that is interesting.

There was a work around posted using CineMagic to start and then editing in VideoWave to add the pan and zoom images.  Search for it.

Update your video drivers here --- Oh wait you you didn't post any computer specs so I can't link to new drivers.   That is a big hint to post your computer specs.  Without it, we would be taking shotgun guesses that may or may not be helpful but would be frustrating.   Actually if you edit your signature to include that information, no one will ever ask again.  Go to the top of the board andclickk onMy Controlss.  look down to the left and edit your signature.  Does your computer meet the minimum specs for this program?
