Animate photo size/location

[chrisscotland]

Description

Where photos don't fit the screen aspect ratio, or where it is otherwise desired they could be animated so they scroll across the screen.

Use Case

Photo is landscape and screen is portrait. Current uniformtofill display mode results in only the middle of the image being displayed. If it was animated it could slowly scroll across the image for the duration the image is on screen.

Details

A smooth animated feature would be useful for a variety of image sizes. Scroll could be horizontal or vertical and automatically selected depending on current image and screen aspect ratios. A zoom mode could also work where images zoom in or out slowly and this could apply even if screen and photo aspect ratios match. It would make the images appear more dynamic and the overall experience a bit more engaging.

This is more complex than you would imagine, at least with the framework we are using. I think it would be a cool option though.

We added a zoom effect option in latest version. If you feel this satisfies your issue can you close this?

Thanks very much the new effect works really well and I feel the result looks very good 😊

My original suggestion was really regarding images where the aspect ratio doesn't match with the screen size. That could still be improved with a scrolling animation (either horizontally or vertically over the image). I appreciate this might be harder to implement though.
