The targeted zoom seems to work OK but as you say it is not as easy as it could be. I have used Cinelerra to make Rendered clips of pictures with Zoom and pan and then Put them in Lives as clips. Thats Ok but it's a lot of added time and effort. It is nice in that you can bend bands to guide the movement and You can see that on the time line before running the clip. Lives does it just as well, you just have to run it to see what it looks like then maybe re-ajust. Thanks, Doug
