Ken Burns Transitions using Keyframes

Offline
#1 MonkiMagic
[attachment=931][attachment=932]I used LR 2 & 3 successfully to do quite complex KB transitions. I am trying to create a sequence between specific points in a frame, but LR4 alters the crop, and ruins the effect. Colour change is great but the cropping seems not to work.

Am I missing something?

I missed to use 5 in the key frame. When I re-edited the sequence, it correctly matched the intended sequence and lightroom 5 generated the correct movement and the intermediate files. However, when LR4 compiles the video it only picks up the first three keyframes in the MP4 output and half the planned sequence is missed. Check the Excel file and the JPG illustrating the plan, then the vimeo URL

Keyframes in LRT4 can be animated seperately from the "regular" tools.

The example quoted was for a 3 point KB, and pointed out to put 5* at the last key frame. If I enter 5 it comes as a square as expected, but there is no way I can find to enter 5 and then *.

Currently for 5 key frames it seems only to be picking up the 3rd key frame as last, and not transitioning through to the 5th when compiling.

How do I do this?

Is there a tutorial or more detailed example?

As in Lightroom you just set the Five-Star keyframes by pressing "5". Just set as many of those as you need, then make sure to edit the crops at those positions.

I have 5 keyframes all marked with 5. Edited in lightroom and then saved, reloaded into LR4 then the autotransition used then saved. I then reimported these into Lightoom 5.7 then exported all images. However the 3rd and 4th sequence between keyframes 3, 4 & 5 shown in the earlier report don't generate the expected response. It should open up then Zoom in. This is missing?

You should avoid doing too much animation with the crop. Check the crop rectangle in the LRTimelapse preview by scrubbing through the sequence. If the rectangle leaves the frame at any point you will get trouble afterwards.

Due to the limitations of Lightroom's Crop tool, you should only make subtile animations of the crop: use less keyframes, use less movement, make sure to have always the same aspect ratio, avoid animating the rotation.
