The Ken Burns effect adds an animated transition to a digital image to give the appearance of movement. Many filmmakers add zoom, pan, and fade transitions to static pictures to keep viewers interested.
At Creatopy, we're all about giving you the tools to make your creatives pop, so why not add this effect as well?
