    I’m looking for the most efficient way to pan/zoom andmake photos interesting (Ken Burns effect). I did a COW search and Imaginate was referred to several years ago, but it appears not to be available anymore as a plug-in. Does Premiere Pro CS4 have a comparable, relatively simple photo animation process that accepts hi res (large) photos so I won’t get pixilation on zooms?

    Thank you,

    Don

    Premiere does not like very many hi res photos. Panning and zooming (scale and position) can be copied and pasted to many pics but being creative and productive with stills is best left to specialized apps.
    Photoshop Elements has a nice slide show editor. I use Pro Show Producer which is an excellent app with many output options.

    Mike,

    I checked out Pro Show Producer and it is EXACTLY what I need.

    Big thanks!

    Don —
    I can assure you that Moving Pictures by Stage Tools is THE ONLY software to consider. I used it on my old Edit system, and I am using it with Premiere CS4. It is (1) inexpensive (2) easy to use, you can learn it in ten minutes (3) the smoothest pans and zooms on the planet.

    I really would not consider anything else . . it is simply the best. There is no need to shop further.
