Hi, I’m posting this from work, so I don’t yet have a clip to show with this post, but I’m having a strange issue with the “transform - grow” effect in Premiere. I’m editing on a MacBook Air.

I’m using clips from the AMC show Preacher. When I import the clips and drop them into the sequence, they’re just shy of half the size they need to be, so I use the Fill effect (on all clips) so that they take up the whole screen, at 213% scale. I’ve been trying to use the Grow effect to create a slow zoom-in on various clips in the sequence. On every clip I try, the Grow effect centers the screen on the top left corner of the clip, but still does the zoom-in effect as if it’s anchored at the true center of the clip.

I haven’t tried exporting anything with this issue yet to see if it translates to the final product, but either way, it makes it impossible to use this effect. I realize it’d be better to have some sort of image or video to accompany this post, which I’ll get as soon as I can. But has anyone had an issue like this before?

This might seem like a dumb question, idk. But I’ve been reading that there’s an in-game notebook feature that allows you to take screenshots and log them in a journal. Which I’m assuming is primarily used for taking screenshots of the glowing images in the lens.

I realize that on PS5 there’s the obvious “Share” button that takes a screenshot on the console itself, but is there an actual in-game feature that allows you to take screenshots and log them in a journal? So far, my bag only contains the first book you start with, and the lens, and I haven’t noticed any additional info being logged in the book, so am I overlooking something? This game is dense and pretty confusing at times, and I do love it but I’m feeling like I’m missing something lol

When you’re finishing up at Bandel’s mansion and get the “tape,” to the right of where you pick it up is a dumbwaiter that you can activate. But you can’t get in it or use it for anything as far as I can tell. Anyone know what it’s for?
