Journal Tet's Journal: Zooming/panning images for video 2

Journal by Tet on Sunday September 19, 2010 @05:46PM

Does anyone know of a good solution for zooming/panning static images for turning into a video? The so called Ken Burns effect? It must work on Linux, and should ideally be open source. The pan in openshot doesn't seem to work, and the zoom is too jerky to be useful. I can write my own fairly easily if I have to, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if I can avoid it.

Maybe whatever xscreensaver uses? Although that might not be in library form...

"Furthermore, image2mpeg now also supports the Ken Burns Effect, where photos can be panned and zoomed during display. "
