Move pan/crop centre at DVinfo.net

Can you move the pan/crop centre so that you resize the pan/crop frame around a different centre...meaning that the sides of the pan crop frame would change proportionately around the new centre? I want to zoom in on a face that that is off centre in the image and lock the resize to it...
or do you just resize the frame and then move the whole box so that the face is in the right place, as I've done before...copying the centre dot to the new focus so you know where you are going?

Ofcourse. Click with crossed arrows at an empty place and drag wherever you want.

I asked about this back in 2013 but need to ask a variation on this question.

I have a graphic off centre on the screen...a cross out over a word. I want to emphasis the cross out at one point so want to zoom in and out of the cross quickly. To so this I need to centre on the cross for my zoom so all the movement looks correct.The cross before and after the movement is not centred on the pan/crop window. Moving the pan crop centre moves the cross around the screen. I want the present screen location of the cross to stay the same but be able to zoom in and out centred on the cross.

I can't see how to do this.
