Feature Request: Ken Burn's Effect on Slideshow

06 Apr 2017, 21:12

Hi Karl, I'm not sure if it is feasible or if it's going to affect the overall server load but could we possibly have this feature for the slideshow?

Currently, we have slide, crossfade and desolve. 

Thanks in advance.

Noted. It would certainly be interesting.

It's a bit complicated, because of slideshow-timing, and the fact that the area will be different on different screens/devices (Ken burns obviously requires images to "crop" to fill an entire area. Also, it should really have a Ken-burns-slide-creator manager, since "automatic" Ken-burns effect is quite random. How do we know from where to zoom and scale an image to? Just to note the challenges involved.

Thanks Karl,

I think I'll be ok with automatic effect. It doesn't need to be zooming in or out to specific part of the image.
