I've just hit what seems to be a limit on the extent the pan/crop feature can go, but want to check that I'm correct.

I have an image of an actionman figure and I want to make him very small so as to fit on the top of a tall building I've drawn. I get to a point when making him small that I can go no further. I would like eventually to make him virtually disappear. Can this be done?

Cant you combine 3d track motion with pan & crop?
Or maybe just use 3d track motion by it self..
When you have the clip in 3d space, you can go how far you want...

Renton, You need use simple track motion instead of pan/crop.

hmmmm...not sure it is quite that simple.

I am actually making an stop motion animation and was needing to apply the effect to the events, not the track.

Maybe I need to think of another way to do the animation...

Haven't done much animation so may be going about it the wrong way. I have my individual photos which I now need to combine and manipulate...
