After struggling with venerable Zoom.dll & Spline, I know I need help.

I tried Animate with BicubicResize, but it doesn't give as smooth motion as Zoom.

I have a picture with row of people standing.
I would like to Zoom to the face of person on left and pan accross all the faces, and come back to the first face, and Zoom out. My Clip is a Image loop Resized to (720x480).

Here is what I have been trying,


srcx = "spline(n, sf-1,360, sf,360, ef,240, ef+1,240, false)"
srcy = "spline(n, sf-1,240, sf,240, ef,240, ef+1,240, false)"
factor="spline(n, sf-1,1, sf,1, ef,8, ef+1,8, false)"
zoom(srcx="n<10 ? width/2 : n>20 ? spline(n, sf-1,360, sf,360, ef,360, ef+1,360, false) : spline(n, sf-1,360, sf,360, ef,240, ef+1,240, false)", srcy="n<10 || n>20 ? height/2 : spline(n, sf-1,240, sf,240, ef,240, ef+1,240, false)", factor="n<10 || n>20 ? 1 : spline(n, sf-1,1, sf,1, ef,8, ef+1,8, false)")


A few varied examples with some explation of Spline would really add lot of value to zoom.txt (besides what it already has). A little more info for how to use srcx,srcy and dstx,dsty, and height, width would go a long way.

thanks

Do you know that DVD slideshow GUI uses the zoom plugin and lets you make an animation of an image? And when you have something you like, you can save as .avs and just grab the zoom code from there.

Is it freeware?
