Adding movement to still images is a great way of drawing attention to some feature and add drama to a lifeless photo. Using motion and timing you can change the mood in the viewer. From slow and stately, to rapid and dynamic there are a multitude of methods to apply. For example, you can focus the viewer’s attention on a key detail by starting in a close-up then zooming out to reveal the context with the rest of the image. In this series we will be demonstrating a couple of techniques for resizing images. We will find ways to overcome the Blender VSE’s weakness in this area. We will discover how to harness the OpenGL image drawing for blazing speed and how to use an add-on that dramatically expands the interactive ability of the VSE. Some of these lessons make use of the VSE Transform Tools add-on, which can be downloaded from here: VSE Transform Tools
