3. Effects Control
• Select image or video
• Click Effects Control on the upper left-had section
• Click Motion
• Select Scale and Position

4. Place Markers
• Go to the point at which you want your image to be zoomed,
place a marker, and adjust the Scale
• At that same marker, adjust the Position up or down & left
and right for the image or videos location in the screen
• For both of these just slide your mouse left or right when you
hover over the numbers and see the little arrows

5. Ken Burns Effect
• Premiere automatically fills in the frames between the first
marker and the one you place, creating a continuous motion
of panning and zooming
• This seems to work best with landscape images or video so
you can pan from left to right while zooming, all without
having black borders
• This effect creates motion even for a still photo, which can add
effect to your project
• It also allows you to focus on different parts of an image or
video and present it more interestingly
