Delete/disable Pan And Zoom - Possible?

[Elderleigh]

I need some help. Please note from the onset, I am new to this program and just want to produce a slideshow where my individual photos come up, stay still for a specific length of time and then transitions into the next frame. Is it possible to delete the Pan and Zoom feature?

 

For some reason, I can not disable/delete the Pan and Zoom feature. Some photos I place stay perfectly as I intended, others "jump" (zoom), some of the jumps start the minute the photo comes up, others wait until almost the end of the frame.

 

I have gone to the individual frames, clicked on Edit - then Pan and Zoom editor. That brings up the editor feature. It is set in Preset Pan and Zoom. I tried changing it to "none", running the slide below the photos from left to right and clicking on OK and then save (some times I have saved it immediately and other times I have "fixed" two or three different frames before saving.) For some of the frames it seems to solve the problem, Other times it hasn't and when I go back into the editor feature, "none" is not set but it has jumped back to the original "pan and zoom".

 

Thus my plea for help. I am trying to get a slide show done for this weekend and I keep losing time going back and trying to fix and refix the same problem.

 

I am one frustrated novice. Thank you in advance for any assistance given.

Did you use the "Slideshow Assistant" to create your slideshow? If yes, then it adds the "pan & zoom" effect to every photo by default. You should have cleared the check box for that feature when you created the slideshow. Now you will have to manually disable the "Pan & zoom" for every photo by setting it to "none" in the "pan & zoom editor".

 

Another option is to start over using Videowave (Edit - advanced) and add all the photos using the "add Photos/video" task. Then add any transitions you want between the photos. No special effects (such as Pan & Zoom) are added without you doing it.

D. Guru - Thanks for the quick response. I double checked and I did create this production on the Video Wave because I have one span of video that I added. For whatever reason, each time I click on a frame, if it has that one video clip or an actual photo the Pan and Zoom Editor is activated after clicking on the Edit button. Where I have a color panel with or without an overlay, the Pan and Zoom Editor remains in gray lettering and I am unable to activate it.

 

It looks like I have to go to each individual frame - but I have done this and it sometimes seems to "take" and other times not so much. I guess I will do one frame at a time and "save" after each frame. Tempus fugit!

 

Thanks again for sending info. I will save it for the next project and hopefully avoid these problems.
