Ken Burns Effect

[colboy]

I've been trying to get a jQuery Ken Burns effect working, but it can't seem to find images, passed as an array, even when the path seems to be correct:

file:///android_asset/newzealand01.jog

File.Exist confirms the file is there. Anyway I was wondering if anyone else had created a similar native effect in B4A. Anyone got any pointers or advice? Not really played with image stuff much.

Thanks in advance, Colin

As a television director and editor from PBS to Home Shopping Network, I can say this: these are called transitions. You are going from 1 source to the next. In this case pictures. Any video editing software like adobe premiere can do it.

As far as B4A goes, there are libraries that do effects like sliding and such:

I don't want to transition between pictures, well not at the moment anyway. I just want to be able to pan across a viewpoint of a picture, a la Ken Burns. I originally started with a clients video. However the total size of the APK was 170MB, which obviously exceeds the 50MB limit. I thought a good way to circumvent this would be to rip out the sounds into MP3 files, which I have done, and use the KB effect to give the user some feedback. The sounds is actually the import element in this application. I've estimated that the whole thing, if I can get the KB effect to work will be around 30MB.

I'll have a look at the other libraries to see if anything there is workable, but if any one has any pointers I would be most grateful.
