How to Zoom into a part of my Video.

[rookkeeper]

I want to zoom into about 4-5 minutes of my video using Video Pad Editor, I suppose I mean magnify the central part. This is because the details are a little too far away.
But I don't know if it is Zoom or Magnify or Crop I should use! Any ideas welcomed.

Avisynth appears to be something you can use on Videopad editor (Never used it but looked it up on internet.) I'd use Avisynth and the VD_Zoom.avsi plugin for Avisynth. This Plugin gives a lot of options for where to zoom in, how much, gradual zoom in/out, and a lot of other control for the zoom.

A script such as this is typical:

DirectShowSource("C:\PathToVideo\Video.flv")
converttoRGB32()
Import("c:\PathToZoom\vdub_zoom_alone.avsi")
VD_Zoom(480,240, 240, 120, 100, 400, 84734, 85666, 0, 0, 0, "p_bicubic", 400, 100, 85667, 85700)

The settings are:

function VD_Zoom(clip clip, int "width", int "height", int "focusX", int "focusY",
\ int "start_per", int "end_per", int "start_Frame", int "end_frame",
\ int "red", int "green", int "blue", string "mode", int "start2_per",
\ int "end2_per", int "start2_frame", int "end2_frame")

This gives a lot of options such as nice slow zoom in to double? size and then nice slow (or fast) zoom out.

Thanks for that but this software is totally beyond me!
