How to Pan and Zoom images/videos in Windows Movie Maker?

When you are making a sideshow movie, you may want to add some animation effects between images and video clips. The most common animation effects are transitions and motions. The motions of images and videos are also called the Pan & Zoom effect. 

It's very easy to add Pan and Zoom motion in Windows Movie Maker. Just click the Motion Tab between Transitions and Music Tab.  Or you can select a target image or video clip, right-click then select Motion (Zoom and Pan). Then you can edit the pan and zoom effects.
