Doing a slideshow with the Ken Burns effect inside of one comp with one camera? Theres a problem…
Hi guys,
I am having trouble making a slideshow with the ken burns effect in after effects like I would in iMovie. Here’s the basically the problem:
I drag all photos into one composition and use one camera. The problem with this is that when I zoom in on a picture, I do not know how to have the camera reset to being zoomed out on the next picture in the slideshow without the zoom out being automatically key framed in by after effects. Since it automatically key frames it in, the camera zooms out super fast between pictures and this obviously does not look great. Is there anyway around this that does not involve making each photo into its own composition with its own camera?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks, I totally forgot that was an obvious option. I am not sure if you know the answer to this question, but when I try to do multiple position movements with a 2D layer, After Effects will automatically smooth the position movement out by creating a curving effect. Is there anyway I can eliminate this Easing/curving/bouncing like effect that is automatically being added when I use 3 or more different positions for one picture?
Thanks again for any help anyone can provide.

Select all the keyframes-right click on one of the keyframes and choose “Keyframe Interpolation”. You want to change your keyframes to be LInear.
Under Edit>Preferences you can change it so that keyframes default to a linear interpolation.

By the way, if you’re doing a ton of keyframing on opacity, you might find it 1000x easier to use this autofade expression 🙂
