how do they do that....

mainly seen on hotel web sites, when viewing pictures of a room or round the hotel they sort of zoom in & pan round a picture, first off I thought maybe it was video but on reflection I think its a large wide angle still picture they've taken and are using some software to navigate round said image, creating a sort of repeating video of an image.

I've been well out of the loop on this kind of technology for some time but am pretty ok with PS, have imovie too if that is used.

any pointers?

They are a number of images stitched together with software such as http://www.easypano.com/

The 'Pano Pro' looks good for that, not cheap though..

cheers guys, I was rather hoping i was missing a trick with the software i have, like the looks of these but means outlay...

just noticed imovie has a pan / ken burns effect mix, I'll put a still on there and have a play with it as a movie & see what I can get it to do.

cheers again
