Does anyone know of any freeware that creates panning/zooming still effects. I know there are pay programs, but I'm looking for freeware. I tried to download MovieXone since I heard that has the effect, but the site won't let me d/l? As bad as it is, I've used VideoWave III for my editing since it came with my camera. I've been able to do what I need with it, but would like to be able to do some more effects with my stills.
Thanks for any info you may have.

I've downloaded it, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

There is a plugin for virtualdub, but I haven't used it. I wrote a short pan and scan script for Avisyth. I posted it at the avisynth usage forum at Doom9. I can post it here if anybody wants it.

if you could post the avs script OR the link to it on the Doom9 forums it would be great
thanks Mike

housepig,
Thanks for the zwei-stein link! It does exactly what I need with the still! I need to explore it some more to see how it is as an overall editor. I was a little concerned that I wouldn't get the output I wanted but figured out how to output to DV quality AVIs using the DVSoft codec.
I did a little test with some video clips and notice that the output for the video was a little pixelated (unlike the stills avi output). I may be that I was trying to zoom too much from the source clip.
This will allow me to add a whole new level to my home movie productions, thanks again for the link! -
glad it worked for you!
like I said, I came across that searching for something else, and grabbed it, but I haven't had time to load it or play with it.
glad it did what you needed!

Sorry about not including the link. But here is the script with plenty of comments. It is pretty idiot resistance, i haven't been able to crash it during testing.
