Introduction
This is the final result we'll create: a 4-photo slideshow where each image slowly zooms in and pans, transitioning with a smooth crossfade, and opening with a title about natural memories. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The Ken Burns effect, named after the documentary filmmaker, brings life to static photos with slow zooms and pans. In this final episode of the module, we'll create a complete slideshow. Create a 12-second slideshow composition.
Step 1: Photos from the clip
Insert 4 clips: reflection lake, poppy flowers, sunrise mountain, and waterfall. For each layer, select layer, time, freeze frame, so the clip becomes a static photo.
Step 2: Sequence with overlap
Select the four layers in order, then animation, keyframe assistant, sequence layer. Check overlap with a duration of 1 second and transition dissolve front layer. Layers are stacked and crossfade opacity is automatically created.
Step 3: Slow zoom
On the first photo, scale from 100 to 112 throughout the duration. A small change only, since Ken Burns should feel calm, not like a camera zoom.
Step 4: Vary the direction
The second photo is reversed, scale from 115 to 100, zooming out. The third photo pans from left to right with scale remaining at 110. The fourth photo zooms in towards the waterfall. Variation in direction makes the slideshow less monotonous.
Step 5: Opening title
Create a text title 'Kenangan Alam' with a serif font in the center, add a soft drop shadow, and animate the opacity in and out over the first 3 seconds. The title introduces the theme before the photos change. Preview the timeline.
Step 6: Preview
Each photo moves slowly and transitions smoothly. Add soft piano music to complete the atmosphere.
Done!
Done. We have created photos from clips using freeze frame, arranged them with stacked sequence layers, created Ken Burns zoom and pan with directional variations, and added an opening title. The template module is complete. In the next module, we will discuss rendering and exporting.
