I am sure this is a very stupid question, but all the tutorials I find are for more advanced stuff...

All I want to do is the following:
1) load a still image and turn it into a clip. No problems there.
2) Zoom in the picture and pan it, so that you see only a portion of it in the shot
3) Add some writings to the image.

I just cannot do No. 2. I SEEM to do it, but when I render and then export the video all I see is a small image in its entirety, not the cropped, zoomed, panned version. How do I say "accept changes" so that DV14 remembers it?

Where are you trying to perform step 2? In the Inspector? on a node?
How is you Scaling set for these images? (should be Crop)

I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but it sounds like you are manipulating the view instead of the attributes of the clip.

Make sure your clip is selected in the timeline and the playhead intersects it. Open the Attributes panel. Manipulate the Zoom and Position tools under the Transform heading.

If you want the Ken Burns effect, turn on the Dynamic Zoom further below the Transform panel *and* in the bottom-left corner of the view change the icon to Dynamic Zoom to see the manipulation handles.

Lance, your terminology for Resolve features seems a bit unclear. Do tell -- which Page in Resolve, does an "Attributes" panel reside -- did you really mean the "Clip Attributes" panel, accessible in the EDIT Page's Clip Menu (and also by right-clicking in the selected clip)?

Or were you actually describing the Inspector (which does in fact, contain a Transform pane, featuring Zoom and Position controls)?

Also, in your next paragraph, you mention "of the view". I suspect you mean the "Timeline Viewer", correct?

Thank you for clarifications (anybody, do feel free to assist here).

Inspector, not clip attributes

Thanks for pointing that out Peter - I even capitalized Attributes! The steps I described are all on the Edit tab. Then you'd click the Inspector button in the top right to open the panel. The view is the Timeline Viewer where the current video frame is displayed. Just below it on the left will be a drop-down list that'll show you the Dynamic Zoom handles.

'Good man, Lance. Thanks.
