Hey

What's a simple* animation or effect I could apply to a still image? The video project is an audio track and the image would be a person. So, I'd like to give the image some movement so it's not boring.

*simple but remarkable

 

Thank you.

This is for Photoshop Elements:

Are you talking about adding a pan & zoom effect over the picture or breaking the picture up into pieces and animating each part individually to create a 3D look? The former is fairly easy but the latter can be a bit advanced.

 

Have you seen my tutorial on keyframing?

No, not pan and zoom. 3D would be nice but it's advanced in terms of the editing process.

When I say simple I mean easy to do, not simple-looking. I understand that something that's not simple is going to take skill and time, but there may be an effect or a trick (even website outside Pe) that could simplify a manual task.

Is this the effect you want?

 

It's not easy -- but I don't know if a way to get great, professional results without a little hard work.
