Sometimes you can get beautiful effects with simple techniques. This installment of Izzy Video shows you how to make a video clip freeze and then flash into a photo, using the Ken Burns effect. It’s a common effect you see in video, and you’ll see it’s quite simple to create.
This is a tutorial for the members, but you can watch the Quicktime version of the trailer here.
By the way, although I use Final Cut Pro in this video, you could likely create the same effect in nearly any editing software that allows you to do keyframing. Enjoy!

In this members-only episode, I give several tips that I really wish I would’ve known when I was just getting started in video. Sometimes lavalier microphones are the best choice for a shoot, but they can also be frustrating to use.
In this week’s Izzy Video tutorial, I’ll show you things like:
- How to hide a microphone under clothing
- How to reduce cable noise by adding strain relief
- The proper way to attach a lavalier microphone
- How to best position it
If you use lavalier microphones at all, or if you’re considering using them, this episode should really help. Enjoy!
