Did You Know?—Using Pan and Zoom Together

You can use pan and zoom together to draw attention to something in your
photograph, such as one member in a group photo. If your photo is not large
enough to use a pan effect, you can zoom in at the start to give you a larger area to
work with.

For more information about using the Ken Burns Effect, see iMovie HD Help.
