    How to do pan and scan on single clips?

      I have a timeline with multiple clips. I'm trying to do some pan and scan to single clips, pan and scan will be different on each of these clips. I tried to put a new "pan and scan" track, but it covers the complete timeline and I can't reduce it to the duration "covering" a single clip (as you can do with grading track). Is there a quick way to apply pan and scan to individual clips? I came from Apple Color where pan&scan was an individual tab in each clip, so it was really easy to do it and save it inside the look.

          Yes, "pan and scan" track covers the complete timeline, this is normal. For pan and scan a single clip put a keyframe where each clip starts, this is the way as works SG.

            I tried to do as you suggested, timeline become cluttered with a lot of keyframes, and I need to put 4 keyframes to each pan, to retain the basic 1.0 scale, otherwise the last keyframe value is applied to everything else.

             

            I hope Adobe will change this with a more intuitive per-clip pan&scan, always worked on a per-clip basis that in other grading apps and always found it fast and simple.

              Yes, this method is a little strange, but it works.

              The way is: first create a key in the start of the clips underneath, then set the scale or pan (you can to use the widget). In SG is always first create a key, and after adjust the parameter. If you only want adjust a pairs of clips, remenber to put a key with default parameters in the first clip after last adjusted.
