There should be a one button way to generate quick Ken Burns effects for all of the slides you have selected. Here's how I think it should work. Basically, when you press the button, the software would first identify faces in each selected photograph. Then it would pick a random (<25%) starting offset for every photo and set the starting slide location there. Then, it should automatically set pan and zoom settings for each selected photo to slowly move the view until it is centrally framing those detected face(s) by the end of the slide. If you wanted to get fancier, you could offer the option to frame the faces at the halfway point in the slide time line and continue moving across it in a straight line from the starting location. This would be a killer feature which would blow away all other slide show programs out there and put you at the top of the event photographer's must-have tool list. Even Photodex ProShow Producer can't do this. Face recognition is the big thing now, and it would make intelligent automatic Ken Burns effects work so much better than all those programs which just randomly move the view. Manually adjusting pan and zoom for each slide is yesterday's technology. Make the computer do that cumbersome task so all we have to do is tweak the results a little. If you had this feature (and perhaps a bit better audio handling?), I'd pay double your asking price for this program. It would save me countless hours of work.
