Images not entirely overlapping during a zoom

[Ivan C.]

I have a problem of this kind. When I'm preparing a slideshow for TV, 16:9, and use a pan & zoom effect, the image doesn't remain in its frame/window. In others words, over the duration of the zoom effect, the image covers a portion of the screen larger than the new image that enters or leaves and the two images are not entirely overlapping. The cause is certainly related to the fact that images have a 3:2 ratio as the output format is 16:9. But the result is not aesthetics and I wanted to know if there is a way to keep the image in its frame even during zooming, eliminating the need to cut pictures in 16:9 format.

I hope I was able to explain my problem.

Thanks for the advices that you could give me.

Ciao

Ivan,

I think this will achieve what you want, but I'm not 100% certain.

In Project Options|Screen tab set the values as follows:

- Fullscreen

- Aspect ratio of a slide = 15:10 (this is the preset that is equivalent to 3:2)

- Virtual size of slide = 1620 x 1080 (assuming your TV is 1080 standard)

- Fixed size of slide (in pixels) = ticked

Those settings should ensure that your zooms never exceed 1620x1080. You will, of course, see black stripes at each side of the 16:9 television display but that is inevitable, I'm afraid.

regards,

Peter
