Earns its place in the blender_extensions library by bringing a Ken Burns slideshow generator to Blender's sequencer with a one-button workflow.
DDSlideshow adds a Ken Burns style slideshow generator to Blender's sequencer, producing zooming and panning motion across your images. It was created to bring a slideshow feature into a Blender VSE workflow, condensing the setup into a one-button process.
You can optionally load intro and outro slides, such as a studio logo, and add an audio track. The zoom range and pan direction are both configurable, so you can set how far images scale and which way the motion travels. Because the add-on loads images from disk, it requests file access permission in Blender.
DDSlideshow is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It sits at rank 399 in the blender_extensions library, and a demo video is available for a closer look at the add-on.
DDSlideshow is best for building Ken Burns style slideshows from images in Blender's sequencer, with optional intro and outro slides and an audio track.
DDSlideshow is completely free to download and use.
DDSlideshow is listed as compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it targets recent Blender releases rather than older builds. Version 0.0.5 also addressed an API change in Blender 4.4 related to effect creation. If you run a supported version, you can add the extension by dragging and dropping it into Blender or downloading it and installing from disk. For the exact minimum version and any later updates, check the developer's page on GitHub before installing.
DDSlideshow requests file access permission in Blender because it needs to load the images used to build the slideshow. This is the only permission the extension asks for, and it is tied directly to reading your image files. Beyond images, you can optionally load intro and outro slides and an audio track, which the add-on assembles into a Ken Burns style sequence. If you want to review how it handles files, the source is available on the developer's GitHub page.
