I have my photo slideshow almost finished. Is there a way to pan & zoom all photos at once? I think the motion would be a nice addition. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, yes and no. There is the InstantMovie option that takes your media and automatically creates a movie from it. There's also a slideshow creator in the Organizer that applies a theme as well as pans and zooms to your slides.

 

You can also select the Video Story option under the Create button in the upper right of the program. Video Story will guide you through arranging your slides into a story and then apply motion to them.

 

You can also manually apply a pan and zoom to one slide, copy it and then Paste Attributes and Effects onto your other slides to paste this same pan and zoom onto every slide.

 

It all depends on how much you want under your control and how much you just want to happen automatically.

In addition to what Steve has suggested; you can apply Auto Pan & Zoom with a single click for each photo in Quick Edit room.

You can find that option for each photo as shown in below screenshot:

 

 

Thanks!

Sorry, Komal, but in my experience, Auto Pan and Zoom is probably the most useless feature in the entire program.

 

The feature creates a 4-second zoom from 155% to 150%, meaning that it never reveals an entire photo and it over-rezzes what it does show. The animation does not even last the full 5 seconds of a slide!

 

You're much better off creating your own motion path from scratch, IMHO.
