David,

Pretty much any editing system in 2019 will allow you to animate movement 
across a still frame.  In Premiere, you just set start and end keyframes in the 
Motion settings & can zoom in, track across, etc.  You can make the movement 
linear or even accelerate in & out.  Pretty basic stuff these days.

Here’s a little online tutorial, or you could hire any kid with a degree in 
film to walk you through the basics:

Definitely glad not to have to do this the hard way (although now it’s almost 
too easy!)

FYI,
Roger

A lot of water under the bridge, but greetings to any surviving members who 
might remember me / my idiosyncratic and now prehistoric contributions.
And I suppose seasonal greetings are in order, if applicable.

I’m looking for and have not yet found software that allows one to explore a 
still image, like a Ken Burns rostrum camera shot – I know he’s not the flavour
of the month for many pure experimentalists – but invoking his name / oeuvre is 
an efficient metaphoric descriptor for my digital desire.

The film resulting from a successful suggestion will entitle the suggester 
(sic) to a healthy acknowledgement in the credits which otherwise would name 
only
Yours truly and now,

Cordially
