This is brilliant. Only today I was doing some web design where I fucked around in Flash for a few minutes putting a cross-fade together.

When i'm on the clock tomorrow I'll test how well this performs cross-browsers, and if all runs well sub this in... the site's already utilising jQuery.

EDIT* Funny, after some very quick testing I found FF to handle it the best. Opera was a little jittery, especially with the zooming. Chrome was more jittery, especially with zooming.

IE handled everything fine, except the zooming, which seemed jittery too; however surprisingly it didn't seem quite as bad as Opera or Chrome's rendering.

Safari's out of action on this laptop for a few days while i'm tinkering with it, so I can't test how that renders.


Nice looking plugin. Interestingly enough it runs slower in Chrome than in Firefox 3 on Vista.


I really dig the Ken Burns effect. Very slick...
