Steps
1Choose a projection mode
Choose Standard 2D for a normal camera view, or Little Planet for a small round world, under Projection mode.
2Set the starting view
At the start of the clip, set the X rotation, Y rotation, and Z rotation sliders, or drag the round control in the preview.
3Add a second view
Move the playhead to where the camera should arrive, then change the sliders again. A diamond on the Direction of view track marks each view.
4Preview and click OK
Move the playhead back to the start, click play to check the pan, then click OK. Export the video from the editor.
We tested these steps in PowerDirector 365 version 25.0.11 on Windows.
