    Hi,

    I have a picture within AE that I want to do the Ken Burns effect on. When I try to do this using the scale and position key frames, the image gets bigger. I do not want the image to get bigger, I want the image to stay the same size and I want to be able to zoom in and out on it. How is this possible?

    Thanks and sorry for the newb question, but I amazingly cannot find any help or videos on the Ken Burns effect for AE in google.

    Sorry, probably posted a bit to earlier. I messed around a bit with the camera setting and am now getting the Ken Burns effect I was looking for.

    Thanks.

    Make that image 3D layer. then add a new camera (layer/new/camera) and null object (layer/new/null object. turn null object to 3D layer and parent the camera to the null object. After these preparations, just play around the null object’s position values as you want. (x,y,z scale)
