Ken Burns

Pan and zoom image animation for documentaries and slideshows

Open with AI

OpenAIChatGPTClaudeClaude

Description

Applies a slow pan-and-zoom (Ken Burns) effect to an image or content layer using interpolate() on scale and translate, creating the signature documentary-style motion. Use it for photo slideshows, historical footage segments, or any scene that needs cinematic image movement.

Zoom range, pan direction, and animation duration are configurable. The effect is frame-driven and deterministic, producing identical output in browser preview and server-side renders.
