Even if you're certain that it already shows the full frame, it's worth taking the time to click the button before setting any pan and zoom points. If the monitor is zoomed in when you set points, the final results may not be what you expect. 2. Enable panning and zooming by selecting Enable in the Pan & Zoom tab. When you first enable panning and zooming, two points are set by default-one in the first frame and the other point in the last frame. 3.
