Pan and zoom - scene attached.
I used zooming and panning in a video. After a few days, I had to change the video and added a scene and some extra time. As I was forgotten that I used a pan and zoom effect in a particular scene later in that video, I rendered it without really reviewing the whole video. Later on, when looking at the end-result I did see that there was a pan and zoom in the video, but to my surprise, it was not on the original place where I originally positioned it to be. I had been shifted due to the extra time added. So I had to reposition the pan and zoom effect on the correct place again and for doing that I had to shift it manually over quite some distance back to its original position. In fact, if you use multiple pan and zoom effects in a video, and you later add time or scene you can end up with lots of work rebuilding all pan and zoom effects in that video. Suggestion: It should be possible to anchor pan and zoom effects to a scene position, so if you add time or scene the zoom and pan effect stays on the position in the scene you have originally positioned it. --> raised a defect for that with a screen recording in https://support.doodly.com/en/support/tickets/723226

Without this it is very difficult to create any scenes with a pan and zoom.

Everything currently is "Locked to the timeline" (pan/zoom, music audio, voiceover audio). It would be a good feature to be able to "lock to the scene" all of these items. I see it as a right click, and select "Scene Lock" as a toggle. If the "Scene Lock" is untoggled, leave the item where it is, but "locked to the timeline".

yes, please implement some way out of having to re-synch every time you change one scene's length!

Yes, absolutely agree. The Pan and Zoom feature is a real pain to use since it can't be linked to scenes. It's only efficient if you add the pan and zooms at the end of your entire workflow, but I prefer to add them at the end of each scene. I'm often going back and changing things so when something before a pan & zoom is changed, ALL the pan & zooms for the rest of the project become misaligned. We use this for tutorials at my work, and I literally spend hours cleaning up when I receive a change request from my manager.
