Move

Pan and zoom high-resolution images on your Avid® editing system.

With Profound Effects Move™, Avid users can pan and zoom still high-resolution Adobe® Photoshop® and TARGA® images over video, using a target-based approach which makes it easy to save custom moves and reapply them to images with different sizes.

Move is designed specifically to minimize the amount of memory required. Using typical solutions, a 8000x8000 pixel color image would require 256 MB of RAM in order to load the entire image into memory. Move only loads what it needs, so at most it only requires enough memory for one frame of video (less than 1MB for NTSC/PAL), no matter how large the image is. For faster performance, user preferences adjust the trade-off between disk and RAM memory usage.
