NAME

       zoomer — generate a video from a picture by zooming from one point to another

SYNOPSIS

       zoomer options...

DESCRIPTION

       zoomer  automatically generates a video from a picture. It starts at the full picture and then zooms into
       the first point. Then zooms out and into the next point, etc. At the moment of reaching a  point,  zoomer
       will write a text (e.g.  a name).

       zoomer needs a picture (bigger is better) and a data file to define the points to be zoomed into.
