Chapter 4, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro

Creating a pan & scan effect

The Matrox pan & scan effect lets you easily convert footage from one aspect
ratio to another. Tracking on-screen action to make accurate judgements is easy
because you see the entire source clip and the section of it that will become the
final result.

You can use the Matrox pan & scan effect to convert your entire production to
another aspect ratio. To do this you should apply the pan & scan effect to a nested
sequence:

1

Choose

File > New > Sequence

.

2

Give your new sequence a name and click

OK

.

3

Drag your original sequence from the

Project

panel into the new sequence.

4

Apply the Matrox pan & scan effect to the new sequence.

5

Adjust the pan & scan settings as desired for your entire production.

For more information about creating nested sequences, see your Adobe Premiere
Pro documentation.
