Hi, I'm beginning to explore editing movies on my Mac and am outgrowing iMovie. What I need to do is this - have still images with slow panning and/or zooming on the still - kind of like what Ken Burns does on all his stills in his documentaries.
I read somewhere that Final Cut Pro deosn't really do this well. I'm not sure where I read this or if it was referring to an older version, but I do remember the article or site saying these types of effects came out kind of jerky on FCP (it was comparing FCP to Avid). Does anyone know if this is true and/or if there are other less costly apps that would allow me to do just this one thing. Believe me, I really really want to buy FCP for all kinds of reasons, but I cannot justify this right now and if I did buy FCP and found it could not handle this type of thing with stills, well that would be a major dissapointment!
Oh, my goals is to print edited video to tape or DVD - quicktime is not my first priority. Thanks in advance.
