Changing Pan and Zoom Aspect Ratio

[Mikey_D]

I'm using Premiere Elements 15 and would like to know if it is possible to change the aspect ration of pan and zoom from 16x9 to 1x1? I have a square album cover that I'd like to shrink (zoom out) so I can add text next to it.

This is not possible, if you are using the Pan & Zoom tool.

The tool will use the aspect ratio of your project.

You can manually keyframe that effect.

[Mikey_D]

Manually keyframe at a different aspect ratio?

[Peru Bob]

You can keyframe the crop and the Motion Properties.

[Mikey_D]

Yes but not aspect ratio it seems.

I'm not quite clear what you're looking for, Mikey.

If you've got a 16:9 video, how can your scaling and position keyframing (pan and zoom) create a video that is other than 16:9?
