PowerPoint Tutorial The Ken Burns effect
The Ken Burns effect The  Ken Burns Effect , made famous by American documentary maker  Ken Burns , is the technique of embedding still photographs in motion pictures, displayed with slow zooming and panning effects, and fading transitions between them. The zooming and panning across photographs gives the feeling of motion, and keeps the viewer visually entertained.
The basic Ken Burns effect The basic Ken Burns effect that is included in Apple’s iMovie software package is simply a zoom feature. This is fairly easy to replicate in PowerPoint, but the only drawback is that you have to zoom into the centre of the image.
Basic Ken Burns effect using  Grow/ Shrink Size: 150%  Speed: Slow
Same effect with a frame over the top
Custom motion path To zoom in on the old lady we first need to use  a custom motion path to bring her to the centre of the screen. (Note because we have not zoomed in the edge of the photo will show up in the frame.)
Custom motion path combined with Grow/ Shrink If we combine the Grow/ Shrink and the Custom Motion path we get a  good approximation of the Ken Burns effect
How we did it Basic Ken Burns effect using  Grow/ Shrink Size:150%  Speed :Slow 1 2 3 Select  Sli d e Show  >  Custom Animation Select  Grow/ Shrink Make timing to  Slow  or  Very Slow
