How do I get the Ken Burns Effect?

How in FCE do I achieve the Ken Burns effect which I used a lot in iMovie '08?

Hello Piero,
Thank-you for your contribution. Your plug-in comes in very handy as I have decided to drop producing slideshows using iPhoto after it lost my slide show project. So many hours of work down the drain!
Anyhow, here I am looking for the quickest way to get similar results using FCE and I find your plugin. As I am getting familiar with FCE I want ahead with a trial of your plugin. My only question at this stage is what could cause the pf folder not to show up in the Video generators? The pf folder does show in the Video filters but not the Genrator filter.
I did follow your instructions with care at:

but still cannot figure out the cause.
Thanks for your help,
JM

  • 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.

  • How do I get photos to automatically have the ken burns effect in final cut?

    New to Final Cut Pro X- would appreciate any help.  I have several photos and want to apply the ken Burns effect, but when I select all and apply the effect, they all have the same movement.  Is there a way to have the automatically have the ken burns effect such as in iMovie 11? 
    Thanks!

    It's a few more steps. But you could create a zoom-in for a clip on your timeline, copy it and then select every other clip that you want to zoom in on, and go to Edit>Paste Effects. The KB effect will be applied to each of the selected clips. Then do a KB  reverse zoom with the clip adjacent to the first clip you copied. Copy that and repeat the Paste Effects process for the alternate clips. Hope that's clear.

  • How come sometimes the Ken Burns effect allows you to edit the entire picture, and other times it automatically starts at a smaller section of the photo?

    How come, in imovie, when adding the Ken Burns effect to a still photo, sometimes the phoo appears as the full size, and other times, the green and red ken burns boxes appear only on a smaller portion of the picture? I want to be able to Ken Burns a bigger chunk of a picture, but often times it is as if there is a pre-set for just how much the Ken Burns will cover.

    Is it possible that the ones that have small boxes are in Portrait while the ones with large boxes are in Landscape?
    If so, you can get bigger boxes on the Portrait ones by clicking "Allow Black" in iMovie 11. (iMovie 09 did not have this feature.)

  • How do you turn off the Ken Burns effect?

    I have students who are using iMovie to create animations. We can't get iMovie to NOT apply the Ken Burns effect to the still images they are making and importing. How do we turn this "feature" off?

    Are you talking about iMovie for iOS?
    I will assume you are as this is the iOS forum.
    You cannot turn this off.
    iMovie iOS is not the app you should use to make animations.
    I suggest you have a look in the AppStore for a better app, there are a few that are better suited to make video from still frames.
    Better yet do it on a computer, you will have many more options.
    But again iMovie Mac is not the best app to do this.
    QuickTime Pro actually has better importing of image sequences the iMovie.

  • How to manually zoom in using the Ken Burns effect

    I love the way the Ken Burns effect zooms in on a photo. But it isn't optimally positioned on my photo. So I want to manually control this effect from start to finish of the duration. I understand how to slide left, right, top or down but its not obvious how to make it zoom in or out from start to finish. Can someone tell me how to do this.
    Thanks in advance.
    --Mickey

    pick the photo in the slide show - click on the settings icon in the tool bar and on this slide - click on start next to Ken Burns at the bottom of the settings window and zoom the photo to the desired size using the zoom in the lower right hand corner and pan to the desired starting point by dragging - click end and do the same for the final position and you have it

  • Can't get rid of the Ken Burns Effect!!

    Not sure why, but when choose Show Photo info when working on the clips in iMovieHD, in Preview, I don't see the photo. It's just black. I also can not get rid of the Ken Burns Effect. I click the X so it won't be applied to the photos, but it does it anyway. This is becoming very frustrating. Is there some sort of bug that's causing it to do this? I started over several times seeing if that would help, but it hasn't. Any suggestions??

  • How can I turn off the ken burns effect on iMovie? If I crop the picture it still persists!

    I cannot turn off ken burns on iMovie for the life of me! Everyone is telling me to fit the photo or stop it, which I have done. However, when cropped the ken burns effect is still there in full force!!! What can I do to turn off this dreadful effect?

  • How to get random Ken Burns effect?

    I am working on a video slide show as gift for someone.  There are hundreds of photos so I obviously do not want to try create a unique feeling Ken Burns effect for every photo.  I tried adding the Ken Burns effect to multiple images at once but the movements end up being identical, save zooming in vs out.  I am on FCPX 10.0.7.  Any advice would be a life saver!  I would hate to migrate the project into iMovie and back for this.
    If this is not something FCPX can do natively, I am more than happy to purchase a plugin if anyone can point the way
    Thanks!
    Doug

    As far as I can tell, FCPX already does what you want. Admittedly, I absolutely ***abhor*** iMovie... have not used it since iMovie HD (6) and really didn't like the newer versions at all. I simply will not use it — so I wasn't exactly sure what you were talking about...  And Ken Burns? Never use it myself although I do see why it's popular.
    Then I wrote this whole other message about ... well doesn't matter now...
    Then I started thinking: FCPX has a facial recognition feature... color correction... grouping clips... other stuff... why wouldn't it use that info in Ken Burns.
    Then I went into FCPX and tried out a few things, and "Lo AND Behold: EUREKA!" -- I think it's in there! (I am, however, basing it on this one image I tried... keep that in mind.)
    Facial Recognition is  in the list of  import options:
    I suspect all you need is Find People.
    Then, in the storyline, when you first apply the Ken Burns crop:
    Those two rectangles are the ones FCPX picked initially -- all I've done here is click on the Ken Burns button. That's a pretty d#@~ good guess! (I'm impressed -- and that pillarboxing you see is actually part of the image! -- it's a copy of an old slide I converted to digital.)  I have not seen this kind of "pick" in any other kind of image I've tried (and I've seen some pretty funky ones), and, it probably won't work without the Find People attribute checked on import (You can go back and reimport all the same images/clips as before, the newer metadata versions should simply replace the older versions without duplications.)
    It will not, however, randomly pick the direction (AFAICT) -- but you can reverse the "pick" with the double curved arrows icon at the top left corner.

  • 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.

  • Stills using the Ken Burns effects are bad quality

    The high quality still I'm inserting into the timeline using the Ken Burns effects are bad quality.  Do you know why?  I don't have that problem in iMovie.

    Yes, I have rendered it (I think).  Not sure how to do that and don't know how to get the "complete specs" of the still image and project.

  • When i create a slideshow in iphoto using the ken burns effect it will not work in idvd. any tips please.

    when i create a slideshow in iphoto with the ken burns effect it works fine. when i then transfer it to idvd it will not work. any tips please.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    how are you getting the slideshow into iDVD?
    what size slideshow did you send to iDVD?
    can you export the slideshow to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player there?
    what fixes have you tried?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    Here's how you should create and sent a slideshow to iDVD from iPhoto:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
