Ken Burns effect...

I learned about the Ken Burns effect. Like I'm sure many of you, I have seen this effect in various movies and shows, but never realized it was something that is so easy to acheive.
This effect is named after a famous documentarian who began using it. The effect is the result of panning and zooming over still pictures to give them movement in a video.

Obviously, you cannot see the effect in this still example. I have also included another screen shot of an example showing where the image would begin panning and then where it would end.

I like the idea of including still photos into an iMovie project. I think it really adds to the overall effect of the final project.

These are not the only things that I have learned throughout this lynda.com iMovie tutorial. There are so many different things that iMovie is capable of doing - all from just the tools on your laptop. I am now ready to move everything onto iMovie. There was information in lynda.com on uploading movies from a tape recorder. I know I have some of those around here.

I think I need to begin a list of things to do after graduation.
