[MacDV] Re: The Ken Burns effect

[Scott Baldwin]

The "Ken Buns effect" has been discussed several times on this list, 
but maybe I don't completely comprehend what the effect is.
  As I understand it, the "effect" is to be able to "animate" a still 
photo, with the ability to pan across the photo and to  zoom in or out.

There are several programs which can do this:

Zoom and Pan from Virtex software
Slick motion from GeeThree software. (This has been pulled from their 
web site......????)
Photo to Movie from lq graphics
Still life from granted software

I like Still Life because I can dump in lots of photos, it 
automatically does cross fade transitions like iphoto,
and I can easily do "the KB effect" on whichever photos I chose.
The program will output to DV or Quicktime.

It seems that people on this list have had good results  with all 4.

This effect is apparently included in iMovie 3.

Cheers,

Scott
