Panning Problem!

Creator's Corner

So basically I want to pan from one zone to another but the panning keeps stopping at the end of the zone. Here’s my script:

INT. HOSPITAL HALL - NIGHT

@zoom on 0 0 to 329% in 0

music music_spooky

@TOBIAS spot 1.001 -77 153 in zone 1

@KYLE spot 0.947 -70 148 in zone 1

@pause for 1

@KYLE walks to spot 0.947 170 150 in zone 2

@pause for 3

&pan to zone 2 in 1

@TOBIAS walks to spot 1.001 98 139 in zone 2

Even when I try different zones the panning keeps stopping at the end of the zone im already at. Please help

maybe its because you didn’t say what zone you wanted to start at

so

@cut to zone #

(code)

&pan to zone 2 in 1

:thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking:

So i got rid of the zoom on my script and it panned how it was supposed to, but I need the zoom though :face_with_monocle:

oh I’m so sorry
I wasn’t specific

you could have keeped all of your code and you just needed to add @Cut to zone #

after the background

This is what I did, it might look like it didn’t pan, but it does!

INT. HOSPITAL HALL - NIGHT
@cut to zone 1
@zoom on 0 0 to 329% in 0

&TOBIAS spot 1.001 -77 153 in zone 1 AND KYLE spot 0.947 -70 148 in zone 1

@pause for 1
@KYLE walks to spot 0.947 170 150 in zone 2

&pan to zone 2 in 1.5

&TOBIAS walks to spot 1.001 98 139 in zone 2

@pause for 3

I think the problem is it wont let me pan from zone to zone while im zoomed in? I did both of your methods and its still doing the same thing

Wait, so can you describe how you envision the scene?

Because I thought what you want is while the camera zoom to girl’s shoes (and she’s walking towards zone 2) and the guy is following her?

I know this version doesn’t have your zoom in, but you can see what I thought you’re trying to do?

INT. HOSPITAL HALL - NIGHT
@cut to zone 1
@zoom reset

&TOBIAS spot 1.001 -77 153 in zone 1 AND KYLE spot 0.947 -70 148 in zone 1
@pause for 1
@KYLE walks to spot 0.947 170 150 in zone 2
@pause for a beat
&pan to zone 2 in 6
&TOBIAS walks to spot 1.001 98 139 in zone 2
@pause for 3

I wanted the pan to follow the second person walking to the zone (2) with the camera zoomed on their feet yes. I need them to go to. it stops but not where I need it to. it pans for a little bit then stops all of a sudden. I need the pan to stop where my character is standing but it doesn’t

I wanted to send you a video of what im talking about but i wont let me

That’s okay! Is this what you mean?

INT. HOSPITAL HALL - NIGHT
@cut to zone 1
@zoom on 0 0 to 329% in 0
music music_spooky
&TOBIAS spot 1.001 -77 153 in zone 1 AND KYLE spot 0.947 -70 148 in zone 1
@pause for 1
@KYLE walks to spot 0.947 170 150 in zone 2
@pause for a beat
&pan to zone 2 in 6.5 AND zoom on 450 0 to 329% in 6.5
@TOBIAS walks to spot 1.001 98 139 in zone 2 in 5.5

Instead of panning try to just use zoom instead.
