A script or plugin to automate Kens Burns effect

Al Min wrote on 9/25/2009, 11:13 PM

I know how to apply the Ken Burns effect using pan and scan on still pix. So is there a way to apply this automatically to give a variety of KB Fx on a series of pictures to save having to do all this by hand?

Ultimate S from VASST does this for you and way more.

Indeed,

Infact in their latest mailer they did released Ultimate S Lite which is basically a supped up Still motion plug which I think has seen the end of it's development.

You can see a promo vid I did for the new software for them on my vimeo page, and their product page.

Dave,
maybe it's just my PC but I'm seeing a bad glitch at 14 secs in that video.

To be quite honest I think it's something with Vimeo or each person's PC's, because I've seen it when my machines resources are hurting, but as long as things aren't bogged down, it's never a problem.

I think you're right, I played it out a couple of times and it seemed to happen at slightly different places or not at all.

Glad to confirm it's not an encode problem ( looks like perhaps, it's a decode problem? )

Eitherway, I didn't do it ;)

Great job on the promo. Finally I am seeing some professional work done with Vegas. Instead of that amateur prosumer stuff you see on You Tube.

Dave, very nice looking promo. What did you use to create the text?

lol @ Jrazz... ya, wonder how those got in there :D

Re: text - I used a combination of Blender and a glow to get the look

It was made using PI3, Blender, After Effects, and Vegas Pro 9.

Thx for the compliments, but really the software is quite good, so I was just trying to make something that reflected that, and the LITE version of Ultimate S is very reasonably priced for the tools you get, though were I given the choice I'd still buy USPro because of some of the extra tools in it (no doubt).
