With the Ken Burns effect, you can create motion from static images or show a video from different angles. 

πŸ‘‰ To apply the Ken Burns effect, follow these steps: 

  1. Open your Splice project
  2. On the timeline, select the clip you wish to animate: it becomes blue
  3. Tap on Animate from the editing toolbar
  4. Tap on Enable Ken Burns: it becomes blue

To apply this change to all clips, tap on the button with the two blue ticks that appear in the bottom-right corner > tap Apply to all

πŸ‘‰ To change the Start and End frame, follow these steps: 

  1. As you tap on Enable Ken Burns, you'll see Start frame and End frame 
  2. To choose the point where you want the effect to start > tap Start frame 
  3. On the preview screen (the main one at the top), position the photo as preferred using the pinching gesture (you can zoom in/ zoom out/ move in any direction)
  4. To choose the point where you want the effect to end, tap End frame and position the clip on the main preview screen

πŸ‘‰ To remove the effect, on the timeline, select the clip: it becomes blue > tap Animate from the editing toolbar > tap on the blue ball under the timeline. 

πŸ‘‰ To change the speed of Ken Burns, change your photo duration. The longer the duration, the slower the Ken Burns effect: 

  1. On the timeline, tap on the photo whose duration you wish to change: it becomes blue
  2. Hold your finger on one of the side handles and move it left/right to customize its duration
