Ken Burns Effect

From WikiPedia:

See Demo Video at the bottom of this page.

The Method

First Zoom

First Pan

The Key Frame #4 in the above illustration becomes the “Start of the First Pan” in the illustration below.

Second Pan

The Key Frame #6 in the above illustration becomes the “Start of the Second Pan” in the illustration below.

The positions of all Key Frames can now be adjusted to give the best combination of Zooms, Pans and Static Portions.

Linearity

Using the LINEAR setting for Pan, Zoom and Rotate can give rise to “jerky” animations and at this stage a change to the SMOOTH setting might be required.
