3D Variation on the Ken Burns Effect

Published on July 16, 2015

Nearly all of us have added the so-called "Ken Burns effect" to a photo in a video at some point. It's a nice effect, and it's usually better than a static photo that just sits there in the video.

Well if you have the time and interest, you can add a little more oomph to the effect by adding a 3D variation to it.

I wouldn't do this for every photo, but it could make sense in some cases, and it definitely creates additional visual interest when you use it.

In this video, I demonstrate how to create the effect in Apple's Motion 5, but you could easily translate it to After Effects if that's your tool of choice.

By the way, this was originally video #282 in the member's library. At this point there are nearly 300 videos like this in the member library. If you want to get access to them and you're not already a member, click here to learn about a membership.
