Experimental Video of a Fall Picture
Adding motion to a still picture is an effective way to add interest to your slide show. This is known as the Ken Burns effect and can be accomplished by using the crop and zoom tool in a video editor. Recently, I learned a more advanced technique that is making use of the so-called keyframes. They allow you to gain more precise control over the motion within a given time. In addition, the keyframes also let you change the opacity and quite a few other interesting functions, such as colour, rotation, scale etc. Ideally, you start out with a high resolution image. The above photo I used for this experiment lacks the clarity, which is very noticeable after I more than doubled its magnification in the process. Playing the short video will give a good idea of what I was trying to accomplish.

The photo was processed with Affinity, but the video was created with Filmora X, a video editing program.

This is from a photo? Wow. All I have seen so far is a short little movement when clicking on a photo.

It’s been observed that the person whose name becomes attached to something often, even usually, wasn’t the person who originated the thing. So it is with the so-called Ken Burns effect. You can learn more about its origins at

What an interesting technique, Peter, and it provides quite a different perspective to elements of the photo. Thank you for sharing this.
