If you’d like to add some motion to the photos in your movie, you can use the Ken
Burns Effect to pan and zoom. Panning makes the camera appear to sweep across the
face of the photo. Zooming makes a photo appear as if the camera is moving in to or
away from the photo, adding interesting movement to still shots.
