What You'll Learn
Use the Pan and Zoom tool
The Pan and Zoom tool in Adobe Premiere Elements can be used to create video-like effects from images or movie clips. This tool is particularly effective when there is minimal movement of objects within the clip.
To use the Pan and Zoom tool, first, import your images or video clips into the project timeline. Then, select the media that you want to apply the effect to. You can do this by dragging and dropping the media from the 'Project Assets' folder onto the tool's timeline. Next, position the marker to the section of the video where you want the effect to start and make a cut. Repeat this process for the point at which you want the effect to end. Finally, select the clip you created, navigate to the "Tools" menu, and select "Pan and Zoom".
Before applying the effect, you can identify the objects in the image that you want to pan or zoom into using focus frames. Focus frames are resizable rectangles that identify the location of the object in an image. To add a focus frame, move the CTI to a position in the timeline where no other focus frame exists and select "Add New Frame". Once you click on "Pan and Zoom", a settings window will pop up, allowing you to customize the pan and hold duration values based on your requirements.
The Pan and Zoom tool follows the 'Z' pattern while detecting and creating sequences for recognized faces. You can change this by selecting the "Reverse Automatic Panning Direction" option in the settings dialog box, which will make the tool follow the 'S' pattern instead.

Customise the pan and hold duration values
To customise the pan and hold duration values in Adobe Premiere Elements, you can follow these steps:
First, import your video clip or image into the software by clicking the "Add Media" button and selecting your desired file. Then, drag and drop the file from the "Project Assets" folder onto the editor's timeline.
Next, select the image or video clip to which you want to apply the pan and zoom effect. You can do this by simply clicking on the clip or image in the timeline.
Now, you can access the pan and zoom settings to customise the duration values. Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Pan & Zoom". Alternatively, you can click on the "Crop and Zoom" icon located on the toolbar and then select "Pan and Zoom" from the window that appears.
In the "Pan and Zoom" panel, you can customise the pan and hold duration values based on your requirements. You can adjust the focus frame markers in the timeline to change the pan duration. To increase the hold duration, select the focus frame, move your mouse over it, and then adjust the "Hold Duration" value. You can also change the hold time by horizontally dragging the right-side marker of a focus frame in the timeline.
Preview your pan and zoom effects by clicking the "Play Output" or "Preview" button in the bottom-right corner of the preview panel.
Remember that the pan and zoom effect works best with videos or images that have minimal movement of objects. You can create one focus frame for each movie frame in the video clip.

Create a focus frame
The "Ken Burns" pan and zoom effect in Premiere Pro is a great way to highlight certain details or draw your viewers' attention to a specific detail in a photo or video clip. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a focus frame to achieve this effect:
Step 1: Import your media
Firstly, click on the 'Add Media' or 'Add Media' button in Premiere Elements to import the video clip or image you want to edit. The file will appear in the Project Assets folder.
Step 2: Place your media on the timeline
Drag and drop your video clip or image from the Project Assets folder onto the timeline of the editor.
Step 3: Set your starting point
Position the marker on the timeline to the point where you want the pan and zoom effect to start. Make a cut at this point.
Step 4: Set your ending point
Navigate to the point where you want the effect to end and make another cut. This will create a new clip that you can apply the effect to.
Step 5: Apply the Pan and Zoom tool
Select the clip you just created. Go to the Tools menu and select Pan and Zoom. This will open up a settings window.
Step 6: Create a new focus frame
Within the settings window, you can create a new focus frame. A focus frame is a rectangle that analyzes images and recognizes the location of an object you want to pan or zoom into. Double-click on the object or area you want to add a focus frame to.
Step 7: Adjust the frame position
You can adjust the position of the focus frame by moving the CTI (current-time indicator) in the timeline to the desired position. The focus frame will appear as a ghost frame (blank frame with a dotted border). Move the focus frame on top of the required object by dragging it with the pan (hand) icon.
Step 8: Customize the pan and zoom settings
In the Pan and Zoom panel, click on Settings to adjust the hold duration and other values according to your requirements.
Step 9: Preview your effect
Select the Play Output or Preview button to see how your effect looks in the preview panel.
Step 10: Export your video
Once you're happy with the result, export your video by going to File > Export or Media.
Remember, the Pan and Zoom effect works best with minimal movement in the video or image, as it helps to maintain a clear focus on the desired object.

Duplicate keyframes
To duplicate keyframes in Premiere Pro, you can follow these steps:
Selecting the Keyframes
Firstly, select the keyframe(s) you want to copy in the Effects Controls panel. You can do this by clicking on the keyframes or using the Selection Tool or Pen Tool in the Timeline panel of the Effect Controls panel.
Copying the Keyframes
Once the keyframes are selected, right-click on them and choose the "Copy" option, or simply use the Ctrl+C shortcut. Alternatively, you can hold down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Mac) and drag the keyframes to duplicate them.
Pasting the Keyframes
Move the playhead to the desired position in the timeline where you want to paste the duplicated keyframes. Then, right-click and select "Paste" from the context menu, or use the Ctrl+V shortcut. The duplicated keyframes will appear at the playhead position.
Fine-tuning the Duplicated Keyframes
After pasting, the keyframes will remain selected, allowing you to fine-tune their location. You can drag them to the desired time or use the Effect Controls panel to make precise adjustments. Remember that you can only paste keyframes to a clip or track with the same property as the copied keyframes.
Understanding Interpolation
When duplicating and pasting keyframes, it's important to understand interpolation, which refers to the transition between two keyframes. Premiere Pro allows you to control the speed and changes between keyframes using Temporal and Spatial Interpolation. Ensure that you adjust the transition effects smoothly to avoid abrupt changes in your animations.

Nest multiple clips
Nesting clips in Adobe Premiere Pro is a simple technique used in editing and special effects workflows. It allows you to apply effects and make edits to multiple clips simultaneously, treating them as a single clip. This is especially useful when you want to apply the same effect to multiple clips, such as a pan and zoom effect. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to nest multiple clips in Premiere Pro:
- Begin by selecting all the clips you want to nest within your timeline.
- To nest the clips using the conventional method, you would select each clip on the timeline individually and nest them one by one using the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+N.
- However, there is a more efficient approach using the QuickNest Pro extension. First, install the QuickNest Pro extension from Adobe Exchange.
- Once installed, open the QuickNest Pro extension panel within Adobe Premiere Pro.
- Inside the extension, click the "Nest selected clips" button. The extension will handle the nesting of all selected clips in a single action.
- Alternatively, you can nest multiple clips by first creating a duplicate layer with all individual clips/cuts above the clips that need nesting.
- Next, nest all the clips as one long nested sequence, then use the reference to blade the nest and control the warp on individual clips.
- Finally, apply the warp effect to all the clips.
By nesting your clips, you can easily apply effects and make edits to multiple clips at once, streamlining your video editing workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro.
