How to Pan and Zoom Images in Premiere Pro - Ken Burns Effect

In this video I show you how to pan and zoom images in adobe premiere pro. This is often called a Ken Burns effect, and it is quite easy to do. First, you should scale your image up to about 150%. From there, you will want to make sure that you click the position stop watch as well as the scale stop watch.
With your playhead at the beginning of your timeline, click the stop watch of both position and scale. Next, move your playhead a few seconds down (depending on what you are going for) and adjust the position and scale.

Excellent video! This was literally EXACTLY what I was looking for. It’s shocking that this was literally the only video I could find that broke this down. Thank you sir!

[@curtispyketech]

Awesome! I am glad it helped you :). :)

[@samappleby60]

Ditto that!

[@kerrybush3219]

This was so helpful. Thank you.

[@curtispyketech]

Glad to hear this! :)

Thanks! Does moving things in the Program viewer have the same exact effect as manually adjusting the values in the Effects Control panel? Is the primary challenge to be sure the playhead is in the correct place when the image is moved?

[@curtispyketech]

The primary challenge is indeed where the playhead is. Click the stopwatch when you have the playhead exactly where you want it / image where you want it. Then move playhead to where you want the end change to be. Then click stopwatch (in that order) :)

My pleasure :)

Is there a way to skew the photo so it looks like a POV pan?

Hi Curtis, I absolutely loved the video, but truly loved YOU! Your personality shined through this video and I felt like I was being taught in a 1-on-1 session with you! Great video and thank you so much for your help! 😊

[@curtispyketech]

Wow, thank you so much!!!

[@OdinTheTall]

Wow.

[@mgn]

Awesome. Gonna use this in my next gaming vid

[@mattp9029]

Works good, but seems overly complicated. Especially if doing many stills as a part of larger video project.

THANK YOU!

[@curtispyketech]

You're welcome! :)

Interesting, here I am learning exactly one year after it was published.

[@ManicJackk]

good explanation!

[@curtispyketech]

Thank you Manic Jack! Much appreciated :)

[@wholesomeprofilepicture585]

Does this also work on videos instead of just still images?

[@andrethegoatboi9872]

thank you so much

[@curtispyketech]

I got you! :)

[@mattfarmerai]

Thanks for the tutorial Even the added workflow tips of "render in and out" were great!

[@curtispyketech]

Thank you! :).

[@Canadian_MamaBear]

Awesome video but how do you place/import the new sequence into your existing project?

[@mikepasley4028]

It's in the bottom of the screen with your pictures

[@neoasus9863]

Gracias

[@luckykumar734]

1 min of video you made it 8 mins good job

[@OdinTheTall]

No. It isn't.

[@InfoCodex]

"render in and out" why did you use it? I wanna know its utility

[@curtispyketech]

This is a way to process video effects and have it saved on the timeline. Basically it saves it into cache so you can edit smother / faster. I had an older machine back then with lower ram. I have a fast machine now. And it’s not necessary now.
