About this vibe coding template
A single photograph that slowly breathes in and out in a continuous Ken Burns zoom, creating a living cinematic hero that looks dramatically different from a static image and from a standard video background. The effect is subtle enough to feel like atmosphere rather than active motion, making it equally effective for portfolio heroes, AI product pages, and editorial brand moments. Paste into Bolt, Claude Code, Replit, or Lovable and ask the AI to swap the placeholder with your own brand photograph.
Common questions about this template
What products use Ken Burns slow-zoom effects on their landing page?
Photography portfolios, creative agencies, real estate platforms, AI image tools, and premium SaaS brands use this effect. It adds cinematic life to a photograph without requiring a video file, making it popular for brands that want atmosphere without the performance cost of autoplay video.
How do I add a headline over the Ken Burns image?
Ask Bolt, Claude Code, or Replit to add a text overlay on top of the image. Tell the AI what the headline should say and it will add a centered or bottom-aligned text layer with a gradient scrim to ensure legibility.
Can I use a video instead of a photograph?
Yes. Ask your vibe coding tool to replace the image with an autoplay, muted, looping video. Tell the AI the video URL and it will swap the img element for a video element with the correct attributes.
How do I speed up or slow down the zoom effect?
Ask Bolt, Claude Code, or Replit to adjust the zoom animation speed. Tell the AI whether you want it faster or slower and it will update the animation duration.
