Hi all,
My first incursion into this group so apologies if the following
question is misplaced.
That is, I'm trying to find some free javascript which implements
the "ken burns effect" on images, eg .jpegs in a CD slideshow,
or similar.
I've seen a bit of JS which zooms images but doesn't handle
the panning effect.
NOTE ; I stumbled over some cute zooming/panning effects using JS
but it seemed to use a proprietary libary object *ts_zoom*,
from 'images.macys.com.'
Mysterious;
Help appreciated.

I don't know the Ken burns effect, nor am I about to check it, so, unless
you have an specific, check http://www.javascriptkit.com/cutpastejava.shtml for any premade ones. No
browser has ts_zoom as proprietary, so, is probably a function.

It's not as easy as Heimlich maneuver, but it can be done.
After you'll have finished searching what "Heimlich maneuver" means,
you may want to describe the exact effect you're willing to reach w/o
referring to Ken Burns. Not everyone here is a fan of this producer.
Some of them (however terrible it may sound) never seen one his movie
(like myself). :-)

I received a couple of replies (thank you), one of which pointed me at a
JS site with lots of scripts (which I'd visited anyway), and another
from someone who seemed not to be a Ken Burns fan , and who asked me
say exactly what I was after, without mentioning his name. Hmmm ;)
Seems he implied there is not "The" KB effect, but "particular" KB effects.
Fair enough - thats why I'm asking.
A bit of background; I hadn't heard of KB until I recently upgraded
my Apple iPhoto app ; its slide-show feature had an option,
"Use Ken Burns Effect" which was on by default.
It displays an image by slowly panning around it with a slow in-out
zoom. Its very effective - although I gather some folk find it
yawnful after a while. Well I didn't, and suspect most casual viewers
of slideshows wouldn't either. YMMV - particularly if you're like
my second respondent ;) I've seen a bit of JS which zooms images but doesn't handle the panning effect.
NOTE ; I stumbled over some cute zooming/panning effects using JS but it seemed to use a proprietary libary object *ts_zoom*, from 'images.macys.com.'
My first respondent somehow thought I meant 'ts_zoom' was a browser
feature. Not so ; seems - as I said - its part of a proprietary library.
It takes args like ts_zoom.pan( "up"|"right"|"down" , <pixel_count> )
As implied I'd prefer not to reinvent the wheel and write my own version.

The images that pan and zoom that I saw at the macys site used Flash.
Maybe if you explain specifically what you want to do (it sounds like
you want a slideshow, image zoom and panning) people could provide
specific answers. If you google for 'javascript slideshow' you'll see
lots of hits.

You might want to consider buying s/w to do a Ken Burns:
You mean spend money , in this age of free, Open-Source ? ;)
Well I know Mac-users are conditioned to having a drip-feed
inserted into their wallet , but include me out of that scenario.
Thanks for the response. Seems I'll have to roll-my-own;
maybe even using Pythons Imaging Library functions.

Why are you refusing to use Macromedia Flash? The chances are high that
you have an option simply export your iMovie file into .swf (or find a
plugin for it).
I guess I understand now what "Ken Burns Effect" is for you: as a
combination of zooming, re-positioning and transitions of still images
put on a timeline (with some narrations also added I guess). It's
really a call for Flash. It *can* be mimic by JavaScript (at least on
IE) by playing with transitions
(<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/filter/filters.asp>),
styles, timers and bgsound.src
Though it's kind of writing a JavaScript version of Quake.
