I feel ripped off! I watched that whole tutorial and it totally wasn't what I expected. I thought the "Ken Burns" effect was the technique of turning a 2 hour documentary into a 16 hour documentary. Where's that tutorial, eh Shane? Hmm?

It takes a person with a special talent for windbaggery to pull that off.

I don't have that talent. Sorry folks.

Great tutorial,
Perfect speed to see the process quick but slow enough to understand it!Great job!
I process thousands of pictures and that's the way I do it. It gives me control of the motion and the overlaping of the dissolves.
That tutorial strike home all the way.
Love the trick of Photoshop to make the pixes bigger so there's more real estate to travel thru but maintaining the quality of the pixels.
For sensitive jobs is a great extra step that could make the final product shine.
You could expand the tutorial with a combination of left to right motion plus the transition of PUSH in the same direction this will give you a cool effect and it can be experimented with the cube spin effect inside or outside (in the same direction of the exiting move.)This trick may require several try's until the length of the effect matches the speed of the exiting shot.
Moving static shots is a must if you want to create emotions and a feeling of prescence.
In Houston Texas I charge 5$ bucks a picture and a 100$ set up fee if you like to know! Bring them on!

Well done Shane!
