Changing ken burns on only one photo

Hi all,
I have a slideshow which I autogenerated the ken burns effect.
I have one photo that constantly gets clipped and you can't see it.
How can I turn off the ken burns for that ONE photo....?
I have searched the forum...I tried the auto kb's in settings then turning on the kb on the bottom of the slideshow then turning off the auto ken burns...but then there is NO ken burns for the whole thing....
thanks for any leads I thought I was almost done!!!

I too am having problems. I'm new to Macs - other than a stint with them when I worked for NASA over 20 years ago. I'm trying to do a DVD slide show for some friends. There are about 320 pictures in the show. I have the (default) auto KB effect on and in most cases I can make it work satisfactorily by cropping. I also have the whole show set up so that slides are expanded to fill the screen. But there's one case where there's a tall tower (portrait format for the original photo) and I'd like it to pan from the bottom to the top. According to the help, I should be able to set up the KB effect to pan in this manner by pulling the slide to the bottom and selecting "Start" and then moving to the top and selecting "End."
When I try to do this, it does some odd things. For example, I set up the Start as I said above and then I move the picture so I'm seeing the top of the tower. But when I click Start, the picture pops back down to the bottom.
And when I preview the slide, I get varying results, even without changing any of the parameters. In other words, I hit Preview it will scroll from the top down (opposite of what I want) and then after the preview is finished I hit preview again and it starts panning from the middle of the tower upward - without my having changed anything.
One thing occurred to me - and I haven't tried it, is that perhaps the overall auto KB effect is somehow confusing what I'm trying to do on this particular slide. If that's the case then I guess I'd have to set up individual KB effects for all 320+ slides. That seems a bit of a pain although I guess I could do a select all and then apply it to everything and then go back and "fix" ones individually that don't work as desired.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
Rick

  • Turning off "Ken Burns" effect for SOME photos

    I see that someone has asked a similar question in the past and told that it's not possible to turn off the Ken Burns effect for some photos, but I'm hoping someone has a workaround or there's a hack...
    I've made a slideshow and got the idea to "tell the story" by creating some "title" images in Photoshop elements which I've placed in between a series of photos.
    These are just black backgrounds with the title (e.g. "...and the party begins", "Family reunion" etc.) in big white letters. I'm very happy with that idea
    I like the Ken Burns effect for the slideshow as it adds some semi-video "action" effect, but NOT on the titles. Having the Ken Burns effect there just looks stupid, so I would like to remove it for the titles alone.
    I know I can do it the other way round (go to "Settings" for the Slideshow, deselect "Automatic Ken Burns effect", then manually add the effect for all the photos I want), but with a slideshow album that's going to take ages to do!!
    Is there a better way?

    Perhaps you're checking the KB button on the "main" menu for the slideshow. That actually changes only the setting for the image that is currently selected. Try using the "Settings" button and deselect the "Automatic KB effect."

  • Only One Photo in a Shared Photo Stream is Displayed

    I have a persistent yet simple problem with iCloud Shared Photo Streams.  Either when I am sent an invitation for a Shared Photo Stream or create one myself the Shared PS properly appears in the iPhoto Photo Stream window and when I hover over the icon the correct number of photos contained is shown.  If I double-click to open the window ONLY one photo appears - always the first photo in the stream.  I am never able to view the whole content of the stream on my iMac - although the streams appear correctly on my iPad, my iPhone, another iMac and on the machines of friends I send stream invites to.  I have tried many things:  quit iPhoto and restart, restart the machine, delete all iLife prefs in the Library, delete iLifeAssetManagement in Library>Application Support, change Libraries, started from a different User, updated iPhoto several times, a complete restore and reinstall of the OS, saying prayers to the iLife gods and crossing my fingers.  None of this has helped.  It seems clear to me that my problem is not with my iMac, nor with my OS, nor really with iPhoto itself - but involves the interaction of iPhoto library files with iCloud.  Having said that, I have no idea how to proceed next.  Any thought would be welcome.

    Thanks for the thought, Larry - but I have turned off all iCloud on all devices and - oops, but wait.  I've done that - but I haven't then rebooted them all.  I'll try that tomorrow morning.  In the meantime, here's one more small clue.  When this first happens I get a crash file in ~Library/Preferences named com.apple.iLifeAssetManagdement.crash.plist.  It's too cryptic for me but it says:

  • Is it possible to undo the Ken Burns effect on all photos at once in iMovie, rather than clicking "crop" and "fit" on each individual photo?

    Is it possible to undo the Ken Burns effect on all photos at once in iMovie, rather than clicking "crop" and "fit" on each individual photo?

    Hey Villiam,  Kevin is referring to setting a movement on a photo setting keyframes (like zoom out to in), right-clicking on Motion, and choose save as preset.  This will put that movement into your presets folder under Effects.  I am going to try this on my next montage and see if I can find some efficiencies.  Thanks Kevin, that was a great tip!!! 
    Also thanks to Jim.  I spent like 30 min looking at all the keyboard shortcuts.  It's a little overwhelming to establish a solid shortcut format that a team of editors can learn and use.  I'm going to be trying the FCP short cuts, then go back to the default.  It looks like the PR default has a lot of existing and helpful shortcuts assigned already.  It's just going to take getting used to a new platform. 
    I'm still looking for tools and/or methods to allow an editor to assemble a 60 second montage with 10 photos, VO and music in 30 minutes.  It's going to be a challenge but I think it's possible with the right innovative process.  I'll still challenge anyone to find a way to quickly assemble a montage in an assembly line or template-based fashion using Adobe Premiere CC where there's on-screen text, advanced transitions, timed to VO, etc. 
    I think I'm dreaming for a tool to automatically do this within Premiere, while I think the answer for now might just be customizing motion presets and creating a favorites folder of transitions that can be dragged onto each clip.  I'll see if there’s a way to apply a set of transitions or motion presets to a series of photos on the timeline opposed to doing it one by one.  I can see this solution being important as video montages are becoming more popular in our industry, and the faster we can make them using a professional software package like Premiere the more prosperous we will be.

  • How do I get rid of the Ken Burns effect on my photos

    I would like to get rid of the Ken Burns effect on my photos I addes to my video. How do I do that

    When you create a New Project and give it a name, the next thing you should always do is go to File>Project Properties and make sure in 'Initial Photo Placement you have selected either Fit or Crop. It seems the default setting is the Ken Burns annoyance.

  • Can see only one photo per page. How to revert to multiple images per page?

    First noticed on my iMac and now on my Macbook (10.4.9)--I'm no longer seeing a month's worth of photos on a single page. Only one photo per page, sometimes with miniature ones in the top border. I thought it was simply an inadvertent click on by part and easily corrected. But all attempts on both computers and reading of Help index haven't led to restoration of an entire page of photos and elimination of the annoyance. I'm wondering now if something I downloaded might have altered iPhoto program itself, making it impossible to view large numbers of photos at the same time. Any suggestions appreciated.
    Cap

    Cap,
    This view, with the one photo big and the thumbnail strip across the top, is what happens when you double-click a photo with "Edit in: Main Window" set in the Preferences. There should be a button visible that says either Done or Return, to exit edit mode and return you to the library. If you still see only one photo, use the size slider in the lower right corner to reduce the photo size and get more thumbnails on the page.
    If, for some reason, you can't exit the edit mode, you may have a corrupt preference file. Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist and move that file to the Trash. Launch iPhoto, and you should be returned to the main viewing mode. You'll have to go in the Preferences and reset them to your liking.
    Regards.

  • Multiple events per date with only one photo each - Unwanted

    I have the eyefi wireless sd card in my camera and it is setup to transmit my photos into iphoto automatically, which it does. However, the problem arises in that iphoto creates multiple events for the same date each containing only one photo. I would prefer that iphoto create individual events per date and have the multiples of that date's photos within. I thought I had the settings configured to do so as I have preferences set for autosplit events one per day but I still see events such as - July 3, 2008 - July 3, 2008 - July 3, 2008 - each with only one photo inside.
    I am wondering if it is something in iphoto's settings or the way in which eyefi transmits the photos into iphoto.
    Any thoughts?

    I do not have a WiFi connection to my camera so can not test but am just guessing
    I can think of two possibilities
    - 1 - if you are taking the photos with the WiFi connected then each time you snap a photo it may be being sent which would be looked at as a new import and therefore create a new event - to stop this I believe you would have to not have a full time WiFi connection to your camera or somehow set the camera to send batched - not each one - iPhoto will take each batch into and follow the rules for making events for that batch even if you camera is sending many batches of One photo
    - 2 - You have the preference for making batches set to one every two hours and there is a long time between photos - I'm guessing that #1 is more likely

        Hello there Laurengrayce,
    I message all of the time and I want you to do the same, to anyone you would like!  Demmo provided a good suggestion of having this person check their services and ensuring they're setup as a 10-digit number, but I would like to provide some of my own suggestions.
    If they are in fact already setup as a 10-digit number, I would recommend deleting this persons contact from your phone as well as the entire messaging thread (long press and hold on thread to delete).  Readd them to your contact list and try again.
    Please advise if this continues and they've already checked with their provider.

  • How do I remove Ken Burns effect from individual photos?

    The instructions say to " In the Photo Settings window, deselect the Ken Burns effect checkbox and then click apply". My interface shows the word "update" instead of "apply" which has worked when I change other settings such as the length of time a photo is displayed. However every time I deselect KB...it comes back! I have also tried to constantly save the project, trying to save the deselect process.
    Has anyone an idea? BTW the KB effect is very poor for most vertical pictures as it will cut off the top of the photo.
    powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) iMovie 6.0.3 version

    • Yes, the Photo Settings window says Update instead
    of Apply because you are updating an existing clip,
    not importing a new one.
    However every time I deselect KB...it comes back!
    • Not sure exactly what you mean there. Do you mean
    that in spite of unchecking the Ken Burns checkbox
    the Updated clip doesn't change? It still has the Ken
    Burns effect?
    YES - see solution I found below.
    If so, it sounds like iMovie may be failing to save
    the updated clip to disk. That can occur if the
    project resides on an external disk that uses the
    wrong disk format. iMovie requires the Mac OS
    Extended disk format. To check yours, see this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=41
    76921#4176921
    I had our office software person check this out.
    BTW the KB effect is very poor for most vertical
    pictures as it will cut off the top of the photo.
    • The Ken Burns effect can't read our minds. It only
    does what we tell it to do. For photos that have a
    portrait orientation it's normal to adjust the
    zoom/pan so the rendered clip stays within the photo.
    Note that it's possible to drag the photo in the
    Preview window to adjust both the Start and End
    points. So for a tall photo you may want to zoom/pan
    up-or-down instead of side-to-side.
    Note too that the settings in the Photo Settings
    window always accept those settings of the last photo
    we imported, updated or clip clicked on. So once
    you've imported a tall photo with the Ken Burns
    settings you like, you can easily apply those
    settings for another photo. Just click on that
    previously-rendered tall clip in the Timeline before
    importing your next tall photo.

    Karl,
    Thank your for your input and in the last couple of days I have been able to produce the iMovie. But I now have another question about burning it.
    Let me point out that I was able to deal with the Ken Burns issues by deleting the photos I wanted to change and replacing with new photos and using your tips + the help menu on "adding motion to your photos" to zooming right / left / vertically (which was very helpful).
    Now that I have my project I cannot burn it as I get the following:there is not enough space to encode the aspects and in the pull down: "iDVD needs 2.350 GB of disk space to encode the remaining assets, but only 1.231 GB are available" I tried to cut down the files by deleting 5 chapters thus reducing the menu to one page showing chapters. I also re-saved the project with a new name.
    BTW - I did burn it once but needed to fix it as the opening menu didn't have sound and I saw some other small photo details I wanted to fix. This version had 11 chapters on 2 menu pages with photos in the background. Essentially all I did was add a few more photos in motion and add the sound. That is why I thought maybe it was too much and removed the chapters saving one remaining page with music. I also do not have it on wide screen format as that uses more memory.
    Can you help me with this? I don't understand why I'm getting the same message no matter what I do.
    Many thanks,
    Rozy

  • Mixing photos with Ken Burns effect with 'still' photos

    I am just beginning to experiment with iMovie '09. My medium is still photographs and my goal was to create a movie with these photographs, and send them to iDVD to test the quality of the final images.
    I have 3 questions.
    1. I started by using about 10 photos from iPhoto, then adding music and transitions. I used the same 10 slides, same music and transitions to make a second movie, but this time I used the Ken Burns effect on two of the photos. When I moved the movies to iDVD, the first one was fine, but in the second one, the 'jaggies' appeared in the iDVD version. Is it an 'all or none' proposition regarding the Ken Burns effect if I want to avoid images with jagged edges or is there a way to combine moving and still images?
    2. The first time I tried to send the movie to iDVD I chose Share>iDVD. A drop down window appeared and it looked as if a movie had been created but when I opened the media/movies pane in iDVD, a message appeared saying "the project can't be used because it has not been prepared for sharing yet." What was actually happening when I chose Share>iDVD?
    3. I have been reading other posts about sharing from iMovie to iDVD. Am I understanding correctly that I the largest size I can go to is 'medium'? In my experiments, I have been choosing 'large' and they look OK. (I chose 'large' because that was what was modelled in the tutorial.) Would I have trouble when it comes to burning them?

    Is it an 'all or none' proposition regarding the Ken Burns effect if I want to avoid images with jagged >edges or is there a way to combine moving and still images?
    You should be able to combine.
    Open iMovie Preferences and put a check mark next to "Display Time as HH:MM:SS:Frames". This lets you edit more accurately and if there is an extraneous Ken Burns Frame you can see it.
    he first time I tried to send the movie to iDVD I chose Share>iDVD. A drop down window appeared >and it looked as if a movie had been created but when I opened the media/movies pane in iDVD, a >message appeared saying "the project can't be used because it has not been prepared for sharing >yet." What was actually happening when I chose Share>iDVD?
    Try saving your movie to either iTunes or the Media Browser first. When you send straight to iDVD it is expected DV or AIC or h.264. With photos only, none of these exist.
    After sharing to the media browser or iTunes, if Share to iDVD still isn't working, you can open iDVD, find your movie in the Media Browser, and bring it into iDVD from there.
    I have been reading other posts about sharing from iMovie to iDVD. Am I understanding correctly >that I the largest size I can go to is 'medium'? In my experiments, I have been choosing 'large' and >they look OK. (I chose 'large' because that was what was modelled in the tutorial.) Would I have >trouble when it comes to burning them?
    Both will work. DVDs are 480i, so if you send in large, iDVD has to downscale. You may want to try it both ways to see which gives you better results.

  • Using the Ken Burns effect in I Photo 5

    The first time I worked on a slide show I was able to use the Ken Burns effect with no problems. Later on opening I Photo and clicking on slide show I no longer have the controls for the Ken Burns effect. There is just a blank space where they should be. Why did this happen ? How do I get the controls back?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Vernon

    Vernon:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What may have happened is that one or more items within the iPhoto application package have had their permissions changed so you do not have access. Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. If that doesn't help try moving the application to the desktop and making a duplicate of it-select it and type Command-D. Now move the duplicated to the applications folder and rename to just iPhoto. Now see if the KB controls come back.
    Next would be a reinstallation of iPhoto. You'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Now reinstall iPhoto 5 and immediately update to the latest version. Then repair disk permissions.
    Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

  • TS3989 only one photo stream I have shared is showing up on my macbook

    I have an imac and a macbook pro. I'm logged into the same icloud account on each, and shared photo streams is on. On my macbook only one of the photo streams that I have shared with others shows up under the "My Photos" section. All of the streams I am subscribed to from others are there. All streams are vsiible on my ios devices (if that is even relevant.)
    I only have shared photo streams enabled, (I don't use the My Photo Stream, as I don't want all of my pictures from my iphone on my computers).
    Not sure if this is relavant, but just in case:
    I have two user accounts set up on both macs. One for me, one for my wife. Our iPhoto drive is stored on an external hard drive so that we can both access it and when we are logged in have our own photo streams. (we have different icloud accounts). It  does show under "Web" in the left column two photo streams, but only the top one is actually clickable.

    After I posted this request for help I found the discussion "Photostream is not syncing on my Windows 7 PC" which gave me some ideas.  The Photo Stream download to my 32-bit Windows 7 PC now seems to be working.
    Yesterday I changed "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe" to XP SP3 compatibility mode then killed this process, which was running at 100% of one of my CPU cores. I also configured iCloud to download to a new "download" sub-folder of the default Photo Stream folder.
    It isn't clear to me whether all of these actions were necessary to solve the problem but when I took a new photo this morning and checked the download folder a few hours later, there it was! Also, Downloader.exe is not running continuously as before - it seems to be a client application called by ApplePhotoStreams.exe only when there is something new to download.
