What is "Pan, Scan, Zoom"?

Click below to
Watch a Sample

Have you ever noticed in a documentary how the camera seems to move around a photo -- zooming in on a certain face, or panning across a landscape? In the industry that's generally called "the Ken Burns effect" or "Burns effects." We refer to it as "Pan, Scan, Zoom." It seems to make your photographs come alive, and definitely makes your slide shows and keepsakes a little more interesting to watch. We highly recommend adding this to any DVD slide show!

Here's a link to some additional information about this technique.

Can I Add This to My Order?

Yes, absolutely! Shoebox Memories now has the ability to include this technique to any of your photos. Just be sure to make note of it in the Pan, Scan, Zoom section of the order form.

How Much Does It Cost?

This is an additional feature of our DVDs that can be added on a per photo basis, and is included in some of our packages. For DVD Slide Shows... Pan, Scan, Zoom is included in both the Platinum and Diamond packages. The Platinum package includes 100 photos with Pan, Scan, Zoom; and the Diamond package includes Pan, Scan, Zoom for an unlimited number of photos. While it is not included in the Silver Package or Gold Package, you can add it on a per-photo basis (simply $0.25 per photo).
