Techniques for animating a view of a composite image based on metadata related to the capture of the underlying source images. According to certain implementations, the metadata may include timing or sensor data collected or generated during capture of the component source images. For example, the timing data may indicate an order or sequence in which the source images were captured. Accordingly, the corresponding regions of the composite panoramic image may be panned to in sequence, for example, using the Ken Burns Effect. In another example, sensor data from gyroscopes or accelerometers may be used to simulate the movement of the image capture device used to generate the source images. In another implementation, the source images may be associated with varying focal lengths or zoom levels. Accordingly, certain implementations may vary a level zoom, based on the metadata, while panning between source photos.
