I want to edit a video to zoom in and crop the rest out for part of the video, and for that area to move - that is, within the whole of the video, say it's made of the following areas for simplicity:
A1,B1,C1,D1,E1
A2,B2,C2,D2,E2
A3,B3,C3,D3,E3
A4,B4,C4,D4,E4
For most of the video, I want to use the whole area from A1 to E4, but for part of it I want to use C2 to D3, and for part of it I want to use D3 to E4. I'd like, if possible, the transition to be smooth (as I said, zoom) rather than simply cutting between clips cropped differently. If, however, what I'm talking about is impossible (I doubt it, but maybe I have too much faith in software), then advice for the closest substitute would still help a lot.
I need advice for any freeware how to accomplish this.
Additionally, advice on how to scale the entire thing to a smaller size (in pixels) is appreciated.
Thanks, everyone!
