This tutorial shows how to use the Camera/Zoom Shot Effect in Magix Movie Studio and Video Pro X to quickly do panning and zooming on images and video clips. The pan-zoom effect is also known as the Ken Burns effect.
Video Pro X16 was used but everything is the same in all versions of Magix Movie Studio up to 2025, with the exception of the Size/Position effect in older versions that was changed in 2022 and in Video Pro X 13.

Below is the example referenced in the tutorial. A still image starts full-screen, zooms and pans over one subject, zooms and pans to another subject, zooms partially out then zooms and pans to another subject, then zooms back out to full-screen. This could be considered as a multiple Ken Burns effect.
