Moving Window On A Large Image

[paul.deitch]

About 30 years ago I climbed up the roof of the house we had at the time and strapped myself to the chimney and took lots of photos. I wouldn't try that now.
After all that time I finally got round to creating a panorama jpg that is 18k wide x 1.8k high. How would I simulate a smaller window moving across it and create an animation?

What about doing lots of crops. Crop to your first desired frame, save the image, move the crop and save again, and so on.

Import the image into a video editing software and apply something called the Ken Burns effect.

I can only tell you how to do this on iMovie so have a hunt round YT for a tutorial for other platforms.

It used to be called '2D DVE' Make the windowframe in Photoshop, import it into the video editing software - alpha channel rings a bell for the transparent bits (or make them a colour and key them out) - then animate the panorama behind it. No idea how you do it now though!

It all worked out. Took a while though! Thanks for the info.
