Creating a Ken Burns Zoom Effect

1. In order to create a Ken Burns pan and zoom effect we will have to establish key frames for the zoom and position parameters.

2. First, choose the image that you want to add the effect to.

3. With this clip selected you can navigate your cursor to the very FIRST frame of the clip. This is where you are going to place your first keyframe.

4. Go to the effects controls located near the top of the window.

5. Click the stopwatch icon next to the SCALE and POSITION parameters. By doing this you have added your first keyframe for the scale and position of the clip.

6. Premiere Pro automatically adds keyframes when a parameter is adjusted.

7. Now navigate to the very LAST frame of the clip to adjust your scale and position parameters. Increase the scale a little bit and adjust the position to add zoom effect into the main subject of the image.

8. Make sure the scale is slightly lower at the FIRST keyframe.
