Keyframing on a Portrait Photo

Keyframing on a Portrait PhotoI am creating a slideshow in Premiere Elements 11 on a Mac. I have several photos which are in a portrait format. I would like to Pan and Zoom on these photos or "move around" in some way, but I found I lose too much of the photo if I use the Pan and Zoom feature; maybe I just don't know how to do it correctly. Can I use Keyframing for this purpose? I have read both of Steve's books, but I still need more help. I'm definitely a newbie. Are there any tutorials available on this issue?
Re: Keyframing on a Portrait Photo
You certainly can. Place the photo on the timeline. Position the current time indicator (CTI) to the beginning of the photo. Open the Applied Effects panel and locate "Motion". There will be an icon on that line that looks like a clock. That's a toggle that turns keyframing on and off. Click on it to turn it on. If the photo in the monitor does not have a border with handles on it, click on the "Motion" line. Once you can see the border and handles, click on the photo in the monitor and drag it to where you want the pan and zoom to begin. If necessary, drag on the handles to zoom in or out. You've just set the beginning keyframes. Now move the CTI in the timeline to the end of the photo. Click on the photo in the monitor and drag it to where you want it to end. Zoom in or out as desired. You've now set the end keyframes. Play back the timeline to see the motion. Take a look at the "ib-Premiere Elements 11 - Basic Training (part 6 of 8)" tutorial in the complementary section. Watch the entire tutorial, Steve demonstrates working with the handles on the monitor at about 3:45.
Re: Keyframing on a Portrait PhotoIf you only zoom a little you will have black space on either side of the photo. An option would be to place a motion background on the track below, or a color matte, or the same photo enlarged with an effect like blur and lower the opacity.
