Hi Sean,

The software will "ramp" the values by changing them smoothly from one keyframe (a place you placed the playhead and set values) to the next.”
I’ve attached a jpg of what I see when I open DR 16 for Windows and select Inspector > Transform and cursor down to Zoom. I’m still familiarizing myself with DR verbiage so I don’t know if those steps constitute “enabling keyframing for a parameter”?
If not, would you pls elucidate what the steps are needed to enable keyframing?
I then place the cursor in the Zoom Y axis but the cursor never blinks. I just get a 2 headed arrow so if I then press the Arrow keys on the keyboard nothing happens. I see no Zoom.
If I type in any numbers in the Y axis Zoom window (e.g. .800) it just makes the clip smaller in the Viewer. My intention is to move the “frame left” so the bike handles, which awkwardly show on the right, can be eliminated from the frame (so an audience wont see the bike handles on the right of the 2 people talking on screen in the video.
I then tried using the Position Y axis and that did nothing even when I type in numbers in the numbers window.
I tried this on a very short video clip, other than the one I need to finish editing ASAP, just to see what I can eliminate anything in that video on the right and it didn’t “Zoom Out” a credenza on the right off the screen.
Do I need to press any of the those diamond-shaped figures on the Zoom “panel” where some red and some in black?
Could this be a Mac -vs- Windows PC difference?
Thank you so very much as I'm learning so much of the DR nuances!
