Automating animated slide show presentations
Authored by: martinx on Mar 25, '03 03:20:59PM

Ok, this might be slightly off topic, but... I can think of a great use for
this, but I don't know if Keynote supports what I would like to do.

Basically I would like to create a presentation that is a slideshow, except
I would like to animate the images in the slideshow. Panning and
zooming, at a rate I control. iMovie has this feature, which it calls the
"Ken Burns effect" but it takes way too much space to store the video. I
just want to store the original image and the numbers to control moving
the image extents around and zoom in real time.

Is this the type of thing that is possible using Keynote?
If so, I can imagine being able to write an app to generate the image
movement numbers, and writing them out to APXL...
