I have a project with a number of still pictures that I want to use the
"Ken Burns" effect on. I know how to use the camera to do this, and
this part works fine. Where I have trouble is in the transitions
between stills....
If I just use "jump" cuts between stills, there are about 2 frames where
I have the wrong camera settings. This seems to be because Cinelerra
can not instantaneously (i.e., at the beginning of 1 frame) change the
camera settings. I understand why this might be, but... It would be
great if at a frame interface there could be 2 settings for the camera.
In other words, and instantaneous jump from one set of settings to
another, so that there are no "bad" frames where I have the wrong camera
settings.
In case my description is confusing, take a simple example where the
first picture has a 'Z' setting of 1.5, and the next picture has a 'Z'
setting of 2.0. We're rendering along happily at 1.5, and then cut to a
new picture. The closest I can get the new 'Z' setting is 1 or 2 frames
away, and this means that there are 2 frames of the new picture with the
old or an intermediate 'Z' setting.
I would be happy to look at the code to see what's going on, if the
experts on this list think that what I want is even possible?
Thanks!
Keith
