Another question - Ken Burn effect with slideshows

Could you perhaps add a Ken Burn effect to the slideshow, in which the images are slightly zoomed and moved, like a smooth tracking shot with a gentle, weak zoom?

That would look much more dynamic than a rigid slideshow with pictures!

Please please please :-)

I also like the Ken Burns effect. The challenge with this slideshow in javascript, is that really you would need to configure zoom points on a per-image basis ... As you see in documentaries, it normally scales images in or out from specific focus points in the images. Else, it would have to just zoom in or out of the image and pan in random direction at random speed, which is difficult to get right.

I found some custom external scripts:

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello Karl!


Thanks for the quick feedback here too :-)
I'll have a look at the two scripts, maybe I can do it ^^ 
My website knowledge is already a bit “dusty”, I'm just about to read into this matter again :-)

I run an astrophotography site, so this effect would fit very well :-)
