Introduction
This is the Ken Burns effect, a static photo that slowly zooms and moves, making it feel alive. At the same time, we are learning the basics of keyframes in Premiere Pro. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Keyframes store the value of a property at a specific time. With two keyframes, Premiere automatically calculates the changes between them. We are learning keyframes by creating the Ken Burns effect on a photo. Three high-resolution landscape photos are already on the V1 track, each lasting 5 seconds.
Step 1: Photo on the timeline
Click on the papaya photo and open the effect controls. Scaling to 50% makes the 4K photo fit in the sequence. High resolution gives space for zooming without breaking the image.
Step 2: First keyframe
Place the playhead at the beginning of the photo clip. Click the stopwatch icon next to scale. The stopwatch turns blue, indicating the animation is active, and the first keyframe in the form of a diamond appears in the small effect controls timeline with a value of 50. Move the playhead to the end of the clip, then change the scale to 60.
Step 3: Second keyframe
The second keyframe is created automatically. Play the clip, and the photo slowly enlarges over 5 seconds. This is the Ken Burns zoom effect.
Step 4: Adding Position motion
To make it more dynamic, let's add a movement. Return to the beginning of the clip, click the stopwatch for position. At the end of the clip, slightly decrease the X value so the photo slowly moves to the left while enlarging. The small arrow buttons next to the property are used to jump to the previous or next keyframe.
Step 5: Navigating keyframes
And the diamond button in the middle adds or removes a keyframe at the playhead position. This makes it easier to edit values directly at the keyframes.
Step 6: Another photo
Copy the papaya photo clip with Ctrl C, select the other two photos, then paste attributes with the motion checkbox selected. All three photos have the same Ken Burns effect. Play the result with a cross dissolve transition.
Done!
Done. We have now understood the keyframe concept, activated the scale and position stopwatch, created a zoom and slow pan, used the keyframe navigation, and copied the motion to the other photos. In the next episode, we will adjust opacity with keyframes and the rubber band tool. Need product video, business profile video, reels and TikTok content, or subtitles for YouTube videos?
